Proteomic and Phenotypic Profiling of Replicative-Senescent HFF-1 Fibroblasts Under Brief Heat Shock

ABSTRACT: As the largest human organ, the skin experiences lifelong exposure to intrinsic/extrinsic factors that over time diminish its functional capacity and structural integrity. Skin aging involves cellular dysfunction and the loss or fragmentation of extracellular matrix (ECM) fibers, clinically presenting as wrinkles, slackening, and pigmentary abnormalities. The heat shock response (HSR) is a gene regulatory program that controls the expression of molecular chaperones associated with aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. By maintaining cellular homeostasis and facilitating DNA repair, HSR exerts protective effects against skin aging, as utilized in aesthetic technologies such as radiofrequency and focused ultrasound. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism, optimal conditions, and potential risks of short-term heat shock (HS) on the senescence process of human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-1), providing experimental evidence to support the application of thermal stress in delaying skin aging. A replicative senescence model of HFF-1 cells was first established. Subsequently, cells were subjected to HS at 41 °C, 45 °C, and 49 °C, with a control group maintained at 37 °C. Assessments, including cell proliferation and viability assays, apoptosis analysis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, Western blot, and heat shock proteins (HSPs) mRNA expression, demonstrated that 49 °C HS induced irreversible cellular damage. In contrast, 30 min HS at 41 °C and 45 °C attenuated senescence-associated phenotypes to varying extents under our experimental conditions.

Gene expression profiling in an induced pluripotent stem cell model of the developing human telencephalon: effect of heat shock and its potential impact on the development of neuropsychiatric disorders

Project description:Schizophrenia (SZ) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are highly heritable neuropsychiatric/neurodevelopmental disorders, although environmental factors, such as maternal immune activation (MIA), play a role as well. Inflammatory cytokines appear to mediate the effects of MIA on neurogenesis and behavior in animal models. However, drugs and cytokines that trigger MIA can also induce a febrile reaction, which could have independent effects on neurogenesis through heat shock (HS)-regulated cellular stress pathways. However, this has not been well-studied. As a first step towards addressing the role of fever in MIA, we used a recently described model of human brain development in which induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) differentiate into 3-dimensional neuronal aggregates that resemble a first trimester telencephalon. RNA-seq was carried out on aggregates that were heat shocked at 39oC for 24 hours, along with their control partners maintained at 37oC. Overall, 186 genes showed significant differences in expression following HS (p<0.05), including known HS-inducible genes, as expected, as well as those coding for NGFR and a number of SZ and ASD candidates, including SMARCA2, DPP10, ARNT2, AHI1 and ZNF804A. The degree to which the expression of these genes decrease or increase during HS is similar to that found in copy loss and copy gain CNVs, although the effects of HS are likely to be more transient. RNA-seq was carried out on neuronal aggregates as described by Mariani et al. with slight modification (PMID:22761314). For the heat shock experiment, a group of 49 day old aggregates was placed in an incubator set at 39C for 24 hours, while control sets of aggregates were maintained at 37C. The incubator conditions were otherwise unchanged. After detaching the aggregates, total cellular RNA was isolated using the miRNeasy Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Lastly, RNAseq profiles of HS and Control were compared

Reprogramming of transcriptome after hormetic heat stress by the endoribonuclease ENDU 2 improves lifespan and stress resistance in C. elegans

Project description:Organisms' ability to respond to life-threatening environmental impacts is crucial for their survival. While acute stress responses to unfavorable factors are well known, the physiological consequences of transient stress experiences over time, as well as their underlying mechanisms, are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the long-term effects of a short heat shock (HS) exposure on the transcriptome of C. elegans. We found that the canonical HS response was followed by a profound transcriptional reprogramming affecting many genes involved in innate immunity response. This reprogramming relies on the endoribonuclease ENDU-2 but not the heat shock factor 1 (HSF-1). ENDU-2 in this context co-localizes with chromatin and interacts with RNA polymerase Pol II, enabling specific regulation of transcription in the post-HS period. Failure to activate this post-HS response does not impair animal survival under continuous HS insult but eliminates the beneficial effects of hormetic HS. In summary, our work discovers that the RNA-binding protein ENDU-2 mediates the hormetic long-term effects of transient HS to determine aging and longevity.

Change in gene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii upon heat shock

Project description:This was an accompanying experiment. Previously, the expression of genes hsp70A and hsp70B had been established as being tetrapyrrole-dependent (Kropat et al., 1997, 2000). Since both are well-known heat-shock proteins, we performed a one-step heat shock treatment by shifting the temperatures from 23°C to 42°C for 45 min. Moreover, this experiment served as an additional global control to further test the reliability of the microarray and our general conditions since the heat shock response in general is quite well investigated. 3988 responding genes were identified. Among them are 22 genes known to be regulated by HS, selected examples are: the heat shock proteins 22A, 22B and 22C, here leading the list of top-regulated genes on place 1 with a FC of 91297 (22A), place 3 with a FC of 45023 (22B) and place 5 with a FC of 6570 (22C). Other examples are several DnaJ-like proteins or the ClpB chaperone, from the Hsp100 family.

P. falciparum heat shock response in a PfAP2-HS-defective population compared to its wild type control.

Project description:Periodic fever is the most characteristic clinical feature of human malaria. However, how parasites survive malarial febrile episodes, which often involve temperatures of >40ºC, is not known. Plasmodium falciparum cultures adapted to periodic heat shock were used to identify PfAP2-HS as a transcription factor that is essential for survival at febrile temperatures. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to compare the effect of heat shock in parasites presenting the wild type form of PfAP2-HS (10E) and parasites that have defects in this protein, either a premature stop codon mutation (10G) or the deletion of the entire pfap2-hs gene (10E_pfap2-hs). A timecourse analysis including samples taken before, during and after heat shock revealed that the initial phase of the PfAP2-HS-dependent response is largely restricted to hsp70-1 and hsp90.

Caenorhabditis elegans AF4/FMR2 family homolog affl-2 regulates heat shock induced gene expression

Project description:To mitigate the deleterious effects of temperature increases on cellular organization and proteotoxicity, organisms have developed mechanisms to respond to heat stress. In eukaryotes, HSF1 is the master regulator of the heat shock transcriptional response, but the heat shock response pathway is not yet fully understood. From a forward genetic screen for suppressors of heat shock induced gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans, we found a new allele of hsf-1 that alters its DNA-binding domain, and we found three additional alleles of sup-45, a previously molecularly uncharacterized genetic locus. We identified sup-45 as one of the two hitherto unknown C. elegans orthologs of the human AF4/FMR2 family proteins, which are involved in regulation of transcriptional elongation rate. We thus renamed sup-45 as affl-2 (AF4/FMR2-Like). Through RNA-seq, we demonstrated that affl-2 mutants are deficient in heat shock induced transcription. Additionally, affl-2 mutants have herniated intestines, while worms lacking its sole paralog (affl-1) appear wild type. AFFL-2 is a broadly expressed nuclear protein, and nuclear localization of AFFL-2 is necessary for its role in heat shock response. affl-2 and its paralog are not essential for proper HSF-1 expression and localization after heat shock, which suggests that affl-2 may function downstream or parallel of hsf-1. Our characterization of affl-2 provides insights into the regulation of heat shock induced gene expression to protect against heat stress.

Transcriptomic Profiles of Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells Under Heat Stress and During Subsequent Recovery

Project description:Heat stress (HS) poses a significant challenge to the dairy industry as it negatively affects milk production. However, the molecular mechanism behind mammary gland responses to HS and recovery remains poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the transcriptomic profile and uncover the underlying mechanism using RNA-sequencing and functional analysis in bovine mammary epithelial (MAC-T) cells. MAC-T cells were cultured in 6 groups: 1) basal (undifferentiated, unDiff) medium or 2) lactogenic (differentiated, Diff) medium for four days. Differentiated cells were subject to either 3) non-HS (37℃) or 4) HS (42℃) for 1hr. Two HS groups were further allowed to recover at 37℃ for 2 hr (D2R) and 6 hr (D6R). Among six group comparisons, 1,668 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. HS vs. D6R groups yielded the highest number of DEGs, followed by HS vs. non-HS, and Diff vs. unDiff groups. Functional analysis suggested that differentiated cells exhibited upregulated genes associated with milk lipid synthesis, indicating their lactogenic state. Moreover, HS suppressed cellular differentiation and activated several heat shock protein (HSP) genes. Additionally, several transcription factors were identified as potential positive or negative regulators of HS response. During recovery, chaperon-mediated protein folding remained elevated and apoptosis regulation was induced after 2 hr. After 6 hrs, response to oxidative stress and cellular homeostasis regulation were enriched. Overall, differentiated MAC-T cells enriched genes in lipid synthesis activities. HS triggered heat shock response and protein misfolding while impaired cellular differentiation in differentiated MAC-T cells. Furthermore, MAC-T cells demonstrated dynamic recovery responses, including regulations on apoptosis and hypoxia

Dynamic behavior of the epigenetic machinery upon thermal stress

Project description:Maintenance of the epigenome is of utmost importance to warrant appropriate cellular functioning Here we analyzed PRC1/2 function, in response to cellular stress. We observe that heat shock (HS) leads to nucleolar accumulation of CBX proteins, and are strongly immobilized in a 1,6-hexanediol insensitive manner, suggestive of a HS-induced liquid-to-solid phase transition of the nucleolus. CBX protein recovery from the nucleolus is dependent on heat shock protein (HSP) activity. LC-MS/MS analyses of nucleoli shows HS-induced nucleolar accumulation of PRC1/2 subunits, various chromatin regulators, HSPs, and the 26S proteasome. Finally, we find that HS leads to a strong reduction of PRC1/2 chromatin binding at target genes and loss of H2AK119ub and H3K27me3. Our findings demonstrate that thermal stress results in a rapid accumulation of epigenetic regulators in the nucleolus, and a concomitant loss of PRC1/2 complex chromatin binding and associated epimarks, underlining that environmental stress directly alters the epigenome.

Decreased S100A7 expression is linked to altered differentiation-, autophagy- and senescence-related programs during skin aging

Project description:To investigate the role S100A7, a skin-derived antimicrotial peptide (AMP) in skin aging, we knockdowned S100A7 in normal human keratinocytes, which induced senescence markers, impaired autophagy, and partially recapitulated aging-associated transcriptional changes. Conversely, supplementation with physiological levels of S100A7 restored autophagic flux and attenuated senescence in D-galactose–induced aging models. These findings identify S100A7 as a molecular link between epidermal differentiation, autophagy, and cellular senescence, establishing an AMP–autophagy axis in skin aging.

Heat Shock induces premature transcript termination and reconfigures the human transcriptome

Project description:The Heat Shock response (HSR) is a highly conserved transcriptional program induced by the exposure to a variety of environmental stressors. Following an insult, a small subset of genes, known as the Heat Shock genes, are rapidly induced by the Heat Shock Factors (HSFs) to maintain protein homeostasis and ensure cell survival. In parallel, a large portion of the genome becomes repressed. HS associated global gene repression is still largely poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that transcription downregulation during Heat shock is mainly achieved by premature transcription termination through the disruption of telescripting.

Glyoxal induces senescence of human keratinocytes through oxidative stress and activation of the AKT/FOXO3a/p27KIP1 pathway

Project description:Senescence is a well-known cellular event characterized by specific markers like a permanent cell proliferation arrest and the secretion of messenger molecules forming the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). The SASP composition depends on many factors such as the cell type or the nature of the stress that induced senescence. Since the skin constitutes a barrier with the external environment, it is particularly subjected to different types of stresses and thus to premature cellular aging. The dicarbonyl compounds glyoxal and methylglyoxal are precursors of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), known to be a feature of normal and pathological aging. In this study, we have demonstrated that glyoxal provokes oxidative stress by increasing ROS and AGEs levels and can induce senescence in human keratinocytes. An “early-stage” senescence phenotype characterized by a cell cycle arrest mediated by the AKT-FOXO3-p27KIP1 pathway and a “late-stage” senescence maintained by the p16INK4/pRb pathway were evidenced. Moreover, we characterized the resulting secretory phenotype during early senesecence by mass spectrometry. Our study provides evidence that glyoxal can affect keratinocyte function and act as a driver of human skin aging. Hence, senotherapeutics aimed at modulating glyoxal-associated senescence phenotype could be relevant to prevent the aging process in skin.
