Project description:J774 cells were treated with MG132, epoxomicin and ONX-0912 for 4 hours, and gene expression was evaluated In order to evaluate the molecular mechanism of inflammatory responses in PRAAS(Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Syndromes ), we established Psmb8-KI mouse that harbors the same mutation in human patients. Psmb8-KI mice showed higher susceptibility to imiquimod-induced skin inflammation (IMS). DNA microarray analysis showed that treatment of J774 cells with proteasome inhibitors increased the expression of the Cxcl9 and Cxcl10 genes, and the skins where imiquimod was painted also expressed both genes at higher levels in Psmb8-KI than control mice. Deficiency in Cxcr3, the gene encoding the receptor of CXCL9 and CXCL10, in wild-type mice did not change IMS susceptibility, while deficiency in Cxcr3 in Psmb8-KI mice ameliorated IMS.
Project description:Purpose: We report the NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (paired-end RNA-seq) following proteasome inhibition in the multiple myeloma cell line MM.1S. Methods: MM.1S cells were treated for six hours with the synthetic proteasome inhibitor lactacystin or clinically-approved proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and RNA expression changes were quantified and compared to DMSO control-treated cells by RNA-sequencing.
Project description:Modulation of the activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway with the proteasome inhibitor (PI) is an established component of therapy for plasma cell disorders. However, resistance emerges and the mechanism is incompletely understood. We generated carfilzomib-resistant (CR) myeloma cell lines by exposing drug-naive ANBL-6, KAS-6/1, U266, and OPM-2 cells to increasing concentrations of carfilzomib and then performed gene expression profiling (GEP) to identify prominent changes compared to their vehicle-treated counterparts, followed by exploration of the mechanism(s) of proteasome inhibitor resistance.
Project description:We report whole genome chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) of 3 different RNA Pol II CTD modifications in MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with vehicle (UNTR) or the proteasome inhibitor MG132 for 4 (MG4H) or 24 (MG24H) hours. We find the non-phosphorylated form of RNA Pol II CTD accumulates at TSS of all expressed genes in proteasome inhibited cells, particularly after 24H of MG132 treatment. Proteasome inhibition enhances Ser5-P and Ser2-P binding at TSS of genes induced by MG132. We note that proteasome inhibition establishes unique Ser2-P 5’ to 3’ gene profiles at induced compared to repressed genes. Overall proteasome inhibition enhances RNA Pol II processivity and expression of gene networks relevant to breast cancer. The study provides a comprehensive resource of RNA Pol II binding in proteasome inhibited cells.
Project description:Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is a fatal neoplasia derived from HTLV-1 infected T lymphocytes exhibiting constitutive activation of NF-kB. To elucidate the complex molecular mechanism of anti-tumor effect of the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib in ATL cells, we attempted to perform gene expression profiling. Keywords: dose response
Project description:We report whole genome chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) of histone modifications in MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with vehicle (UNTR) or the proteasome inhibitor MG132 for 4 (MG4H) or 24 (MG24H) hours. We find that MG132 treatment results in the spreading of the H3-trimethyl lysine 4 mark into gene bodies of a subset of induced genes in MCF-7 cells. The spreading of the H3K4me3 is concomitant with hyperacetylation (H3K27ac, K122ac and K9/14ac) of the corresponding gene TSS. H3 Lysine 36 trimethylation mark is enriched at genes that are induced by MG132. Finally, we show that proteasome inhibition establishes a chromatin state that enhances antiproliferative, while dampening cell proliferative gene expression programs relevant to breast cancer. The study provides a comprehensive resource of histone modifications in proteasome inhibited cells.
Project description:The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of proteasome inhibition on glucocorticoid and estrogen receptor regulated gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: MCF-7 cells were treated with proteasome inhibitor (MG132), dexamethasone, 17b-estradiol or MG132 plus dexamethasone or MG132 plus 7b-estardiol. Control cells were not treated. RNA was collected from 2 biological experiments.
Project description:The objective of this study is to identify the genes that are up-regulated amid proteasome dysfunction to facilitate the discovery of proteolytic pathways that are activated as a compensatory response to proteasome inhibition. Proteasome is a large multi-component proteolytic complex in the cell. It is responsible for the constitutive turn-over of many cellular proteins as well as the degradation of oxidized and/or unfolded proteins. With such a fundamental role in the cell, disruption of proteasome understandably can lead to disastrous outcome. Oxidative stress has been postulated as the driving mechanism for aging. Oxidatively modified proteins, which usually have lost their activity, require immediate removal by proteasome to maintain normal cellular function. Dysfunction of proteasome has also been linked to neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, those that are most commonly seen in aged population. There is more than one proteolytic pathway in the cell, and it has been reported that obstruction of any one of these pathways may enhance the activity of the others. Proteasomal function has been found to have decreased during aging, prompting researchers to hypothesize that failure to remove oxidized proteins may play an important role in aging. It would be interesting to determine the other proteolytic pathways that are activated after proteasome inhibition by a relatively specific inhibitor epoxomicin to help understand their roles in aging processes.
