Project description:Selective bromodomains inhibitors block the interaction between diverse bromodomains and extraterminal domains (BET) proteins and acetylated proteins. These inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in cancers malignancies and experimental inflammation in mouse models, but data on renal diseases are scarce. We have investigated the effect of the BET proteins inhibitor JQ1 in a mice model of unilateral ureteral obstruction. Treatment with JQ1 diminished renal damage, the presence of inflammatory cell infiltration and the upregulation of proinflammatory genes. The in vitro evaluation of JQ1 on TNF-α inducible genes in renal cells showed that BET inhibition modulated several biological processes, including inflammation or immune response. Moreover, gene-silencing experiments showed that BRD4 regulates several proinflammatory genes (IL-6, CCL-2 and CCL-5) and chromatin immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated that BRD4 specifically binds to acetylated histone H3 in the promoter region of those genes. The nuclear factor-ï«B (NF-ï«B) pathway regulates renal inflammation. The RelA NF-ï«B subunit is activated by acetylation of lysine 310. In damaged kidneys and in TNF-α-treated renal cells, JQ1 blocked the nuclear translocation of RelA/NF-ï«B and NF-ï«B-mediated gene expression. Additionally, obstructed kidneys showed an activation of the Th17 immune response, which was diminished by JQ1 treatment. Our results demonstrate that the BET inhibition decreases renal inflammation by 3 independent mechanisms: 1) chromatin remodelling in the promoter regions of specific genes, 2) blocking NF-ï«B pathway activation, and 3) modulating the Th17 immune response. These results suggest that BET inhibitors could have important therapeutic applications in inflammatory renal diseases. HK2 cell line was treated with JQ1 or its enantiomer JQ1(-) (500nM) for 1 hour before stimulation or not with TNF-α (5ng/ml) for additional 3h. We analized the genes up- and down-regulated by TNF-α vs unstimulated cells, and further the genes downregulated or unaffected by JQ1 compared to the cells treated with the enantiomer (-) JQ1.

Project description:Bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) proteins are important epigenetic regulators facilitating the transcription of genes in chromatin areas linked to acetylated histones. JQ1, a BET protein inhibitor, has antiproliferative activity against many cancers, mainly through inhibition of c-MYC and upregulation of p21. In this research, we investigated the use of JQ1 for human osteosarcoma (OS) treatment. JQ1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and survival of OS cells inducing G1 cell cycle arrest, premature senescence, but little effect on apoptosis. Interestingly, c-MYC protein levels in JQ1-treated cells remained unchanged, whereas the upregulation of p21 protein was still observable. Although effective in vitro, JQ1 alone failed to reduce the size of the MNNG/HOS xenografts in immunocompromised mice. To overcome the resistance of OS cells to JQ1 treatment, we combined JQ1 with rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor. JQ1 and rapamycin synergistically inhibited the growth and survival of OS cells in vitro and in vivo. We also identified that RUNX2 is a direct target of BRD4 inhibition by JQ1 in OS cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) showed that enrichment of BRD4 protein around RUNX2 transcription start sites diminished with JQ1 treatment in MNNG/HOS cells. Overexpression of RUNX2 protected JQ1-sensitive OS cells from the effect of JQ1, and siRNA-mediated inhibition of RUNX2 sensitized the same cells to JQ1. In conclusion, our findings suggest that JQ1, in combination with rapamycin, is an effective chemotherapeutic option for OS treatment. We also show that inhibition of RUNX2 expression by JQ1 partly explains antiproliferative activity of JQ1 in OS cells. MNNG/HOS cells treated with 7.5mM JQ1, 12.5nM Rapamycin or both were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We compared these microarray samples with the corresponding control (treated with DMSO).

Project description:DUSP22 (also named JKAP) is a dual-specificity phosphatase that inhibits T cell activation. Here we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR2 as an upstream activator of Lck during T-cell activation. JKAP dephosphorylated UBR2 at two residues, leading to ubiquitin-mediated UBR2 degradation. The SCF (SKP1-CUL1-βTrCP) complex induced UBR2 Lys48-linked ubiquitination at three lysine residues. Moreover, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis and UBR2 knockout showed that UBR2 increased proinflammatory cytokines. Remarkably, UBR2 induced Lys63-linked ubiquitination of Lck at two lysine residues and subsequent Lck Tyr394 phosphorylation/activation in TCR signaling. Conversely, TCR-induced Lck activation and JKAP knockout-enhanced inflammatory phenotypes were attenuated by UBR2 knockout. Consistently, the UBR2- Lck interaction and Lck Lys63-linked ubiquitination were induced in peripheral blood T cells of human SLE patients. Collectively, UBR2 protein stability and UBR2-induced Lck ubiquitination/activation are inhibited by JKAP, leading to attenuation of T-cell activation and T-cell-mediated inflammation.
