Project description:It is known that application of TSPO ligands as well as knockdown of the mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) modulate viability, proliferation, adhesion, and migration of glioblastoma cells, as well as angiogenesis. To study the ability of the TSPO to regulate gene expression in relation to these functions we applied microarray analysis of gene expression to U118MG glioblastoma cells. Seen at the time points of 15, 30, and 45 minutes, the TSPO ligand PK 11195 induced changes in expression of immediate early genes and transcription factors. These changes also included gene products that are part of the canonical pathway for modulation of general gene expression. These changes peaked at 30 minutes. Thus, it appears that the TSPO is part of the retrograde mitochondrial-nuclear signaling pathway for modulation of gene expression. Consequently, our data indicate that this is a major venue whereby TSPO may drive its numerous functional effects.

Project description:We hypothesized that the potential ability of the 18 kDa mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) to regulate gene expression may underlie its numerous reported functions, ranging from mitochondrial activity till mental disorders. Therefore, we applied microarray analysis of gene expression to U118MG glioblastoma cells. Within 1 hr the TSPO ligand PK 11195 induced changes in expression of immediate early genes and transcription factors. After 24 hrs primarily gene expression for enzymes and other proteins is changed. The associated gene products are known to affect various cellular functions: programmed cell death, cell cycle, viability, proliferation, migration, differentiation, development, tumorigenesis, and inflammatory / immune responses. Our microscopic studies showed intense TSPO mitochondrial labeling but no TSPO signal in the cell nuclei. Thus, it appears that the TSPO is part of the retrograde mitochondrial-nuclear signaling pathway for modulation of gene expression and thereby may exert its numerous effects on cell function, phenotype, and disease. U118MG cells (1.255 à 106) were seeded in Petri dishes (i.e. 28.5 à 103 cells / cm2) and allowed to proliferate for 3 days in full medium. Experiments for gene expression assayed with microarray typically consisted of three experimental groups and a vehicle control group (n = 3 for each group). Serum deprived medium was applied for 24 hrs, in the experimental groups ending with the inclusion a choice of various PK 11195 exposures i.e. either 1 hr, 3 hrs, or 24 hrs. Exposure to PK 11195 implies serum deprived medium with 1% alcohol (vehicle) and PK 11195 (25 µM final concentration) for the required time period. 25 µM of PK 11195 is the optimal concentration for these types of experiments with U118MG cells (Kugler et al., 2008). The cells were collected by trypsinization, washed by centrifugation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (400 à g, 5 min), and lysed [RLT lysis buffer provided with the RNeasy Mini Kit diluted with β-mercaptoethanol (1 : 100)], according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lysates were stored at -70oC.

Project description:The 18-kDa translocator protein TSPO is a conserved ubiquitous high affinity cholesterol binding protein localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It plays a critical role in the segregation and transport of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane in steroidogenic cells. Imaging studies in humans, using specific TSPO ligands, showed that TSPO is highly expressed and accurately mirrors the histological picture of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the functions of TSPO in simple steatosis (SS) and NASH are unknown. In the present study, we examined the TSPO functions with in vivo NAFLD model. To induce NASH in vivo, we fed the WT and TSPO KO rat with MCD (methionine-choline deficient) diet. Loss of TSPO ameliorated the liver fibrosis through down regulation of bile acid synthesis by reduction of CYP7A1 and CYP27A1 and increase of farnesoid X receptor (FXR).

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most malignant and common type of primary brain tumor with a median survival of less than 21 months. It is particularly resistant to current immunotherapies. Thus, yet unknown mechanisms of immune resistance may be active in glioblastoma. Translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) expression is upregulated in glioblastoma and correlates with malignancy and poor prognosis but also with increased immune infiltration. An immunomodulatory role of TSPO in glioblastoma has not been reported. Here, we studied the role of TSPO in the regulation of immune resistance of human glioblastoma cells. We used public bulk and single-cell gene expression data to identify cell types, genes and signalling pathways correlating with TSPO expression. To validate inflammatory triggers and the role of TSPO experimentally, we co-cultured tumor-infiltrating T cells and cytotoxic T cell lines with autologous and antigen-loaded allogeneic, primary brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs). TSPO proficient and deficient BTIC lines and clones were generated through genetic manipulation. Inflammatory factors triggering TSPO expression were determined by ELISA and validated experimentally using blocking antibodies and recombinant proteins. The impact of TSPO on glioblastoma cell resistance against cytotoxic T cells was studied by cytotoxicity assays and by activity analysis of components of the apoptotic cascade. Individual death-inducing pathways suppressed by TSPO were determined using recombinant proteins and TSPO-regulated genes associated with apoptosis resistance were identified by gene expression analysis in TSPO proficient and deficient BTICs and subsequent functional analyses. TSPO expression in glioblastoma cells correlated with cytotoxic T cell infiltration, expression of TNFR and IFNGR, the activity of their downstream pathways, expression of TRAIL receptors and with PD-L1. Coculture of BTICs with tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells or with T cell-derived factors induced TSPO up-regulation through TNFα and IFNγ. Silencing of TSPO sensitized BTICs against T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. TSPO protected BTICs selectively against TRAIL-induced apoptosis by regulating both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways. TSPO regulated the expression of multiple genes associated with apoptosis-resistance of tumors. Among them, we studied the peptidase inhibitors PI3 and SLPI, which sensitized BTICs towards TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Our data revealed that TSPO expression in glioblastoma cells is induced through T cell derived cytokines IFNγ and TNFα. TSPO expression protects glioblastoma cells against cytotoxic T cell attack through the death inducing ligand TRAIL. Our data provided an indication that therapeutic targeting TSPO may be a suitable approach to sensitize glioblastoma to immune cell-mediated cytotoxicity by circumventing tumor intrinsic TRAIL-resistance.

Project description:The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) emerges as an important PET biomarker to assess the tumor microenvironment (TME) in glioblastoma. However, various cellular sources hamper interpretation and biological understanding of TSPO and other immune biomarkers in the TME. Thus, we established a novel method, combining immunomagnetic cell sorting after radiotracer injection (scRadiotracing) with 3D histology via light sheet microscopy and proteomics to dissect cellular allocation of TSPO enrichment in glioblastoma. Single tumor cells of implanted SB28 glioblastoma mice indicated 1.37-fold higher TSPO tracer uptake and 1.46-fold higher TSPO protein expression levels when compared to tumor associated microglia/macrophages (TAMs). Using proteomics, we compared the proteome of tumor associated microglia/macrophages (TAMs), Tumor tissue (TT) and control microglia from WT mice without glioblastoma. This analysis identified TAM specific targets for PET radioligand development with additional potential to monitor diverse TAM subpopulations in vivo. In summary, our data indicate that tumor cells need to be acknowledged as the main contributor to TSPO as a biomarker in glioblastoma. Combining cellular tracer uptake measures with 3D histology facilitates precise allocation of complex PET signal sources and will serve to validate novel TAM specific radioligands.

Project description:Cells were grown in YPD medium (pH 5.0) at 30oC to a density of 0.6 X 107 cells/ml (A600=0.6). The culture was supplemented with ET at 30 oC for 15 min. Cells were collected for the t=0 min sample. Next, an equal volume of YPD medium (pH 5.0) containing ET solution and 1.6 M NaCl was added to the ET-treated culture (final concentration 0.8 M NaCl). Samples were collected 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after Na+ addition.
