Secretome characterization of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells subjected to ER stress

ABSTRACT: Objective: Induction of ER stress has been shown to promote NP cell apoptosis and disc degeneration. However, little is known about its regulation by hypoxia and its contribution to extracellular matrix homeostasis. Methods: NP cells were culture under hypoxia (1% O2) and normoxia (21% O2) to assess ER stress status. Tunicamycin and thapsigargin were used to induce canonical ER stress pathways and effects on cell secretome were assessed by proteomic analysis using mass spectrometry. The relevance of these findings to aging and degeneration was investigated by analyzing microarray data of NP tissues from aged mice (GSE134955) and degenerated human discs (GSE70362). Results: NP cells exhibited lower ER stress levels under hypoxia. ER stress inducers tunicamycin and thapsigargin promoted a canonical unfolded protein response. UPR further induced HIF-1 activity under hypoxia. NP cell secretome under ER stress showed an increased secretory pathway with a concomitant decrease in collagens, HAPLN1, and cell adhesion related proteins. Similar to our cell culture studies, NP tissues from aged mice and degenerated human discs presented higher levels of UPR markers and decreased levels of matrix components.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is shown to promote nucleus pulposus (NP) cell apoptosis and intervertebral disc degeneration. However, little is known about ER stress regulation by the hypoxic disc microenvironment and its contribution to extracellular matrix homeostasis. NP cells were cultured under hypoxia (1% partial pressure of oxygen) to assess ER stress status, and gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches were used to assess the role of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in this ...[more]

Project description:Complex scientific experiments provide researchers with a wealth of data and knowledge from heterogeneous sources. Analyzed in its entirety, OMICs data provide a deep insight into the overall biological processes of organisms. However, the integration of data from different cellular levels (e.g., transcriptomics and proteomics) is challenging. Analyzing lists of differentially abundant molecules from different cellular levels often results in a small overlap, which can be accounted to, e.g., different regulatory mechanisms, different temporal scales as well as inherent properties of the measurement method. Thus, there is a need for approaches that allow efficient integration of OMICs data from different cellular levels. In this study, we make use of transcriptome, proteome and secretome data from the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus challenged with the antifungal drug caspofungin. Caspofungin targets the fungal cell wall leading to a compensatory stress response. We analyze the experimental data based on two different approaches. First, we apply a simple approach based on the comparison of differentially regulated genes and proteins with subsequent pathway analysis. Second, we compare the cellular levels based on the identification of regulatory or functional modules by two module-detecting algorithms from protein-protein interaction networks in conjunction with transcriptomic and proteomic data. Our results show that both approaches associate the fungal caspofungin response with biological pathways like cell wall biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism as well as carbohydrate metabolism. Compared to results of the simple approach, the use of regulatory modules shows a notably higher agreement between the different cellular levels. The additional structural information of the networks provided by the module-based approach allows for topological analysis as well as the analysis of the temporal evolution of cellular response at a molecular level. However, we also found that quality of the module-based results depends on the comprehensiveness of the underlying protein-protein interaction network itself. Thus, while our results highlight the benefits and potential provided by a module-based analysis of OMICs data from different cellular levels, future studies will have to focus on the expansion of organism specific protein-protein interaction networks.

Project description:Physical exercise stimulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mammals, and is considered a relevant strategy for preventing age-related cognitive decline in aging humans. However, its mechanism is controversial. Here, by investigating microRNAs (miRNAs) and their downstream pathways, we uncover that downregulation of miR-135a-5p mediates exercise-induced proliferation of adult NPCs in adult neurogenesis in the mouse hippocampus, likely by activation of phosphatidylinositol (IP3) signaling. Specifically, while overexpression of miR-135 prevents exercise-induced proliferation in the adult mouse hippocampus in vivo and in NPCs in vitro, its inhibition activates NPCs proliferation in resting and aged mice. Label free proteomics and bioinformatics analysis identifies 11 potential targets of miR-135 in NPCs, several of them involved in phosphatidylinositol signaling. Thus, miR-135a is key in mediating exercise-induced adult neurogenesis and opens intriguing perspectives toward the therapeutic exploitation of miR-135 to delay or prevent pathological brain ageing.Physical exercise stimulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mammals, and is considered a relevant strategy for preventing age-related cognitive decline in aging humans.

Project description:Background: Responses to hypoxia have been investigated in many species; however, comparative study between conspecific geographical populations in different altitude regions is rare, especially for invertebrates . The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, is widely distributed both on high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP) and on low-altitude North China Plain (NP). TP locusts have inhabited Tibetan Plateau since Quaternary glaciations events and thus probably have evolved superior capacity to deal with hypoxia. Results: Here we compared the hypoxic responses of TP and NP locusts from morphological, behavioral and physiological perspectives. We found that TP locusts were more tolerant of extreme hypoxia than NP locusts, with a lower proportion exhibiting stupor, a faster recovery time, and higher respiration rates. We compared the transcriptional profiles of field TP and NP locusts and found that their differences were possibly attributed to a combination of multiple factors, e.g. oxygen, UV radiation, temperature and nutrition. To evaluate why TP locusts respond to extreme hypoxia differently from NP locusts, we subjected them to extreme hypoxia and compared their transcriptional responses. We found that the aerobic metabolism was more active in TP locusts than in NP locusts. RNAi disruption of PDHE1b, an entry gene from glycolysis to TCA cycle, increased the ratio of stupor in Tibetan locusts and decreased the ATP content of Tibetan locusts in hypoxia, confirming the significant importance of this metabolic branch for TP locusts to conquer hypoxia. Conclusions: Here we show that TP locusts are better tolerant of hypoxia than NP locusts and the better capacity to modulate primary metabolism in TP locusts contributes to their superior tolerance of hypoxia compared to NP locusts. FIELD POPULATION: TP locusts vs. NP locusts;direct comparison on 6 separate microarrays; each microarray compares one biological replicate; each biological replicate contains 10 individuals. LAB POPULATION: hypoxia-treated TP locusts vs TP locusts in normoxia; hypoxia-treated NP locusts vs NP locusts in normoxia; direct comparison on 6 separate microarrays; each microarray compares one biological replicate; each biological replicate contains 10 individuals.
