Project description:Purpose: Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) both play important roles in Hepatocellar carcinoma (HCC). Whereas, in the microenvironment of HCC, whether HSC participates in regulating the biological process of HCC cells by releasing H2S remains elusive. In this study, we investigate how activated HSC influence HCC fate. Methods: The effects of LX-2 and H2S on biological functions of HCC cells were analyzed with Flow cytometry and CCK-8. RNA-sequencing, Western blotting, Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), siRNA, immunofluorescence and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were carried out to examine the effect of H2S on JNK/JunB-TNFSF14 (tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14) signaling pathway. Specimens from HCC patients were analyzed by using RT-qPCR and Western blotting assays for evaluating the expression of TNFSF14. Statistical analysis was used to analyze the correlation between TNFSF14 expression and clinical data of HCC patients. Results: LX-2 cells is able to induce HepG2 and PLC/PRF/5 cells apoptosis by releasing H2S. RNA- sequencing results showed that TNFSF14 gene was changed in both LX-2 and NaHS group. NaHS dosage and time-dependently up-regulated TNFSF14 mRNA and protein expression in both HepG2 and PLC/PRF/5 cells. NaHS treated in HCC cells led to JNK/JunB signaling pathway activating and greater binding of JunB to its responsive elements on TNFSF14 promoter. Impairment of TNFSF14 induction alleviated LX-2 and NaHS induced apoptosis of HepG2 and PLC/PRF/5 cells. Furthermore, mRNA and protein expressions of TNFSF14 in HCC tissues was lower than in the adjacent tissue. HCC patients with low expression of TNFSF14 have higher malignant degree and poor prognosis. Conclusions: Demonstration of the involvement of HSC-derived H2S in JNK/JunB mediated expression of TNFSF14 gene strongly indicates H2S palys an important role in the regulation of HCC apoptosis.

Project description:The ubiquitous gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recognised to play a crucial role in human health. However, a role for host H2S in pathogenesis has not yet been demonstrated. Using cystathionine -lyase (CSE) deficient mice, we demonstrated an unexpected role of H2S in Mtb pathogenesis. We showed that Mtb-infected CSE-/- mice survive longer than wild-type mice, and support reduced pathology and lower bacterial burdens in the lung, spleen and liver. Similarly, in vitro Mtb infection of macrophages resulted in reduced colony forming units (CFUs) in CSE-/-cells. Chemical complementation of infected wild-type and CSE-/-macrophages using the slow H2S releaser GYY3147 and the CSE inhibitor DL-propargylglycine demonstrated that H2S is the effector molecule regulating Mtb survival in macrophages. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CSE promotes an excessive innate immune response, suppresses the adaptive immune response and reduces circulating IL1β, IL-6, TNFα, and IFN-γ levels in response to Mtb infection. Notably, Mtb infected CSE-/- macrophages show increased flux through glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway thereby establishing a critical link between H2S and central metabolism. Our data suggest that excessive H2S produced by the infected wild type mice reduce HIF-1α levels, thereby suppressing glycolysis and production of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-12, and increasing bacterial burden. Clinical relevance was demonstrated by the spatial distribution of H2S producing enzymes in human necrotic, non-necrotic and cavitary pulmonary TB lesions. In summary, CSE exacerbates TB pathogenesis by altering immunometabolism in mice and inhibiting CSE or modulating glycolysis are potential targets for host-directed TB control.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is formed naturally from L-cysteine in a variety of mammalian and non-mammalian cells. To date, numerous biological effects have been ascribed to H2S including control of cardiovascular, immune and nervous function. Over or under production of H2S has been observed in several disease states including hypertension and inflammation. In addition, it has been stipulated that H2S may affect the ageing process. The model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is ideally suited for assessing drug effects on lifespan since it is relatively short-lived, can be easily exposed to drugs and its genome is fully sequenced and widely annotated.

Project description:Physiological memories of environmental stress can serve to predict future environmental changes, allowing the organism to initiate protective mechanisms and survive. Although physiological memories, or bookmarks, of environmental stress have been described in a wide range of organisms, from bacteria to plants to humans, the mechanism by which these memories persist in the absence of stress is still largely unknown. We have discovered that C. elegans transiently exposed to low doses of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) survive subsequent exposure to otherwise lethal H2S concentrations and induce H2S-responsive transcripts more robustly than naïve controls. H2S bookmarking can occur at any developmental stage and persists through cell divisions and development but is erased by fasting. We show that maintenance of the H2S bookmark requires the SET-2 histone methyltransferase and the CoREST-like demethylase complex. We propose a model in which exposure to low doses of H2S generates a long-lasting, epigenetic memory by modulating H3K4me2 modifications at specific promoters. Understanding the fundamental aspects of H2S bookmarking in this tractable system can provide mechanistic insight into how environmental exposures are translated into the epigenetic landscape in animals.

The global transcriptome of control nematodes (raised using standardized laboratory conditions) was compared to nematodes exposed to 100 uM GYY4137 (morpholin-4-ium 4 methoxyphenyl(morpholino) phosphinodithioate), a slow releasing H2S donor drug.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter and is capable of regulating various endogenous signaling pathways, inculding inflamation and immune response. In mammals, H2S is mainly generated by two pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes, termed cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE). CBS-deficient mice showed autoimmune disorders. H2S play important roles in T cell development and differentiation, especially Treg cells development and differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of WT and CBS-deficient CD4+ T cells.

Project description:Purpose: We recently identified 39 human microRNAs, which effectively suppress hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in hepatocytes. Because chronic HBV infection often results in active, hepatitis-related liver fibrosis, we assessed whether any of these microRNAs have anti-fibrotic potential and predicted that miR-6133-5p may target several fibrosis-related genes. Methods: The hepatic stellate cell line LX-2 was transfected with miR-6133-5p mimic and subsequently treated with TGF-β. mRNA and protein products of COL1A1, encoding collagen, and ACTA2, an activation marker of hepatic stellate cells, were quantified. Results: Expression of COL1A1 and ACTA2 was markedly reduced in LX-2 cells treated with miR-6133-5p. Interestingly, phosphorylation of JNK also was significantly decreased by miR-6133-5p treatment. The expression of several predicted target genes of miR-6133-5p, including TGFBR2 and FGFR1, was also reduced in miR-6133-5p-treated cells. The knockdown of TGFBR2 by the corresponding small interfering RNA greatly suppressed the expression of COL1A1 and ACTA2. Treatment with the JNK inhibitor, SP600125, also suppressed COL1A1 and ACTA2 expression, indicating that TGFBR2 and JNK would mediate the anti-fibrotic effect of miR-6133-5p. Downregulation of FGFR1 may result in a decrease of phosphorylated AKT, ERK, and JNK. Conclusions: miR-6133-5p has a strong anti-fibrotic effect, mediated by inactivation of TGFBR2, AKT and JNK.

We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of WT and CBS-deficient CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells from WT and CBS-deficient mice were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the homogeneous populations of mice at 6 weeks in order to increase the temporal resolution of expression profiles.
