Project description:A major contributor to cancer mortality is recurrence and subsequent metastatic transformation following therapeutic intervention. In order to develop new treatment modalities or improve the efficacy of current ones it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms that promote therapy-resistance to cancer cells. One pathway that has been demonstrated to therapy resistance is autophagy, a self-digestive process that can eliminate unnecessary or damaged organelles to protect cancer cells from necrosis. Effective targeting of this pathway could lead to the development of new therapies. In our studies, we found that the VEGF-C/NRP-2 axis is involved in the activation of autophagy, which is essential for the survival of cancer cells following chemotherapy treatment. Furthermore, we identified two VEGF-C/NRP-2-regulated genes, LAMP-2 and WDFY-1 that have previously been suggested to participate in autophagy and vesicular trafficking. The upregulation of WDFY-1 upon depleted level of VEGF-C contributed to cytotoxic drug-mediated cell death. Altogether, these data suggest a link between VEGF-C/neuropilin-2 axis and cancer cell survival despite the presence of chemotherapy-induced stress. Human prostate cancer cell lines PC3, Du145 and pancreatic cancer cell line CaPan1 were cultured at 37οC either in RPMI 1640 with L-glutamine or in DMEM media with 10% fetal bovine serum and supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin. PC3 stable transfected cell line was growing in presence of 1µg/ml puromycin selection pressure. Cells were transfected with SmartPool cocktail siRNA for NRP-2, VEGF-C, LAMP-2, and WDFY-1, using DharmaFECT 1-4. siRNA transfection was allowed to proceed 72 h before collection of whole-cell extract or total RNA.To identify potential pathways involved in this VEGF-C-mediated cell survival, we performed a microarray study comparing cells depleted in either VEGF-C or NRP-2 using SmartPool siRNA to PC-3 cells treated with scrambled siRNA. Upon comparison of the two data sets, we found 34 gene-tags that were commonly up- or down-regulated in both NRP-2- and VEGF-C-depleted cells.

Project description:Autophagy is a membrane-trafficking process that directs degradation of cytoplasmic material in lysosomes. The process promotes cellular fidelity, and while the core machinery of autophagy is known, the mechanisms that promote and sustain autophagy are less well defined. Here we report that the epigenetic reader BRD4 and the methyltransferase G9a repress a TFEB/TFE3/MITF-independent transcriptional program that promotes autophagy and lysosome biogenesis. We show that BRD4 knockdown induces autophagy in vitro and in vivo in response to some, but not all, situations. In the case of starvation, a signaling cascade involving AMPK and histone deacetylase SIRT1 displaces chromatin-bound BRD4, instigating autophagy gene activation and cell survival. Importantly, this program is directed independently and also reciprocally to the growth-promoting properties of BRD4 and is potently repressed by BRD4-NUT, a driver of NUT midline carcinoma. These findings therefore identify a distinct and selective mechanism of autophagy regulation.

Project description:Autophagy to apoptosis switching event is an unexplored area. We were interested to explore the gene expression profile at this juncture. Our Microarray data emphasized that among all eNOS and p62 genes were markedly induced. In fuctional level eNOS expression activates mTORC1 followed by inhibition of autophagy. This ultimately allowed accumulation of p62 . Intraccellular accumulation of p62 sequestered unfolded toxic protein aggregates in mitochondria and ER resulting in to impaired redox regulation. Intraccelular ROS generation further sensitized cells for apoptosis and tilted autophagic response to apoptosis. Cells were treated with Tunicamycin as an inducer of both autophagy and apoptosis. At early stage of Tunicamycin treatment 24h , prostate cancer cell PC3 showed activation of autophagic process where apoptosis was not evident. Sustained ER stress with Tunicamycin induced late apoptoisis at 72h of treatment. Hence we isolated total RNA from Untreated cells, cells with Tunicamycin treatment after 24h and 72h. Further the RNA were used to perform whole genome microarray to analyze the gene expression profile at autophagy and apoptosis juncture. The selected genes were also validated by qPCR and western bot. Morover RNAi study were implemented to evaluate the signaling crosstalk at the juncture of autophagy and apoptosis.

Project description:Drosophila Orb, the homologue of vertebrate CPEB is a key translational regulator involved in oocyte polarity and maturation through poly(A) tail elongation of specific mRNAs. orb has also an essential function during early oogenesis which has not been addressed at the molecular level. Here, we show that orb prevents cell death during early oogenesis, thus allowing oogenesis to progress. It does so through the repression of autophagy, by directly repressing, together with the CCR4 deadenylase, the translation of Autophagy-specific gene 12 (Atg12) mRNA. Autophagy and cell death observed in orb mutant ovaries are reduced by decreasing Atg12 or other Atg mRNA levels. These results reveal a role of Orb in translational repression and identify autophagy as an essential pathway regulated by Orb during early oogenesis. Importantly, they also establish translational regulation as a major mode of control of autophagy, a key process in cell homeostasis in response to environmental cues. Orb RIP-chip vs mock IP on ovaries from mature 3-5 day old females.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in diabetes related diseases. However, the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes with macrovascular complication (DMC) has seldomly been recognized. This study screened lncRNA profiles of leukocytes from DMC patients and explored protective role of lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT in endothelial cells (EC) under high glucose (HG) and inflammatory conditions (IS). Between DMC and healthy controls, 477 differential expression lncRNAs (DE-lncRNAs) were identified. The enrichment and pathway analysis showed that most of the DE-lncRNAs belonged to inflammatory, metabolic, and vascular diseases. A total of 12 lncRNAs was validated as significant DE-lncRNAs in expanding cohorts. Furthermore, these DE-lncRNAs were shown to be significantly related to hypoxia, HG, and IS in EC, especially lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT. LYPLAL1-DT overexpression results in the promotion of the proliferation, and migration of EC, as well as an elevation of autophagy. Overexpressed LYPLAL1-DT reduces the adhesion of monocytes to EC, boosts anti-inflammation, and suppresses inflammatory molecules secreted in the medium. Mechanistically, LYPLAL1-DT acts as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by downregulating miR-204-5p, therefore enhancing SIRT1 and protecting EC autophagy function; thus, alleviating apoptosis. Finally, exosome sequencing revealed LYPLAL1-DT expression was 4 times lower in DMC cells than in healthy samples. In general, we identified LYPLAL1-DT having protective effects on EC as ceRNA mediated through the miR-204-5p/SIRT1 pathway. Therefore, it inhibits the autophagy of EC as well as modulating systemic inflammation. This approach could be regarded as a new potential therapeutic target in DMC.

Project description:Under defined differentiation conditions human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be directed toward a mesendodermal (ME) or neuroectoderm (NE) fate, the first decision during hESC differentiation. Coupled with G1 lengthening a divergent ciliation pattern emerged within the first 24 hours of induced lineage specification and these changes heralded a neuroectoderm decision before any neural precursor markers were expressed. By day 2, increased ciliation in NE precursors induced autophagy that resulted in the inactivation of Nrf2. Nrf2 binds directly to upstream regions of the OCT4 and NANOG genes to promote their expression and represses NE derivation. Nrf2 suppression was sufficient to rescue poorly neurogenic iPSC lines. Only after these events have been initiated do neural precursor markers get expressed at day 4. Thus we have identified a primary cilium-autophagy-Nrf2 (PAN) axis coupled to cell cycle progression that directs hESCs toward NE.

Project description:Autophagy is a physiological process controlling endothelial homeostasis in vascular beds outside the liver. This study demonstrates that autophagy is defective in liver endothelial cells of patients with NASH and that this defect promotes liver inflammation and fibrosis at early stages of NASH, but also at advanced stages of chronic liver disease. We used transcriptomic analysis to evaluate the global effect of autophagy deficiency in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells' (LSECs) gene expression
