Cell survival and adaptation to chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress in thyrocytes

ABSTRACT: The large secretory glycoprotein, thyroglobulin, is the primary translation product of thyroid follicular cells. This difficult-to-fold protein is readily susceptible to structural alterations that render the misfolded thyroglobulin unable to be exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a known cause of congenital hypothyroidism, with severe, chronic thyrocyte ER stress. Nevertheless, patients with this disease commonly grow a goiter indicative of thyroid cell survival and adaptation. To model this, we have treated PCCl3 thyrocytes with continuous exposure to tunicamcyin (causing an ER stress that can be specifically attributed to thyroglobulin misfolding). In response, PCCl3 cells escape by downregulating expression of Mfsd2a (the tunicamycin transporter). By contrast, following CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of Mfsd2a, PCCl3 cells cannot escape the continuous, chronic effects of high-dose tunicamycin (as demonstrated by persistent accumulation of unglycosylated thyroglobulin); nevertheless the thyrocytes live and grow. A comprehensive proteomic analysis of these cells adapted to chronic ER protein misfolding reveals many hundreds of up-regulated proteins, supporting stimulation of ER chaperones, oxidoreductases, and stress responses as well as lipid biosynthesis pathways. Further, we noted: a) increased phospho-AMP-kinase-B (suggesting upregulated AMPK activity) and decreased phospho-S6 and protein translation (suggesting decreased mTOR activity), consistent with conserved cell survival/adaptation pathways; and b) a suggestion of less differentiated thyrocyte phenotype with decreased PAX8, FOXE1, and TPO protein, as well as a significant decrease of thyroglobulin mRNA levels.

The large secretory glycoprotein thyroglobulin is the primary translation product of thyroid follicular cells. This difficult-to-fold protein is susceptible to structural alterations that disable export of the misfolded thyroglobulin from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is a known cause of congenital hypothyroidism characterized by severe chronic thyrocyte ER stress. Nevertheless, individuals with this disease commonly grow a goiter, indicating thyroid cell survival and adaptation. To mode ...[more]

Project description:Transcriptome analysis was used to identify gene expression changes during development of sunitinib resistance in a renal cell carcinoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. During the response phase, tumors exhibited a 91% reduction in volume, characterized by induction of TNFRSF1A, TNFAIP3, NFKB2, CCL2, CCL20, BIRC3, and MOAP1. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated decreased expression of cell survival genes during tumor response to sunitinib. In this model, after 4 weeks of treatment, tumors developed resistance despite continued administration of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sunitinib (40 mg/kg/d p.o.). Resistance was associated with increased expression of VEGFA, EPO, IL-8, ANGPT2, TNFRSF12, MAPK3/7, MAPKBP1, and increased cell survival genes, suggesting activation of angiogenesis and MAPK/ERK pathways. Tumor lysate mRNA evaluated for murine gene expression to examine the contribution of host effects, indicated that tumor response was associated with downregulation of immune cell trafficking, cellular movement, and inflammatory response genes. During tumor escape, genes associated with cellular movement, inflammatory response, and immune cell trafficking were strongly induced, along with intratumoral accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), indicating a role for host factors during emergence of sunitinib resistance. The same PDX model was used to assess anti-tumor efficacy of sunitinib combined with MEK inhibitor (MEKi) PD-0325901 (4 mg/kg/d p.o.) using different schedules. The most effective treatment regimen was either continuous treatment with both drugs or switching from sunitinib to PD-0325901 monotherapy at d30, which reduced tumor volume by 78.6% (p=0.0241) and 88.5% (p=0.0068), respectively. The combination of MEKi with TKI (sunitinib, axitinib, or pazopanib) suppressed levels of phospho-MEK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2, and decreased intratumoral MDSC. Thus, continuous treatment with sunitinib alone did not maintain tumor response, and addition of a MEKi abrogated resistance leading to prolonged survival. Study was comprised of three experimental groups (pre-treatment, response, escape). All tumors came from the same PDX model. There were four biological replicates in each group. Four mice were used, with each of the 3 groups per mouse. There were no control or reference samples.

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease of prematurity, has been linked to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. To investigate a causal role for ER stress in BPD pathogenesis, we generated mice (cGrp78f/f) with lung epithelial cell-specific knockout (KO) of Grp78, a gene encoding the ER chaperone 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), a master regulator of ER homeostasis and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Lung epithelial-specific Grp78 KO disrupted lung morphogenesis, causing developmental arrest, increased alveolar epithelial type II cell apoptosis and decreased surfactant protein and type I cell marker expression in perinatal lungs. cGrp78f/f pups died immediately after birth, likely due to respiratory distress. Importantly, Grp78 KO triggered UPR activation with marked induction of pro-apoptotic transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Increased expression of genes involved in oxidative stress and cell death and decreased expression of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes suggest a role for oxidative stress in alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) apoptosis. Increased Smad3 phosphorylation and expression of transforming growth factor-Î² (TGF-Î²)/Smad3 targets Cdkn1a (encoding p21) and Gadd45a suggest that interactions among the apoptotic arm of the UPR, oxidative stress and TGF-Î²/Smad signaling pathways contribute to Grp78 KO-induced AEC apoptosis and developmental arrest. Chemical chaperone taursodeoxycholic acid reduced UPR activation and apoptosis in cGrp78f/f lungs cultured ex vivo, confirming a role for ER stress in observed AEC abnormalities. These results demonstrate a key role for GRP78 in AEC survival and gene expression during lung development through modulation of ER stress and suggest the UPR as a potential therapeutic target in BPD. Whole-genome expression profiling was performed using MouseRef-8 v2.0 Expression BeadChips (Illumina) on RNA isolated from lungs of four Grp78f/f and three cGrp78f/f mice at E18.
