A Quantitative Assessment of Arsenite-induced Perturnation of Ubiquitinated Proteome

ABSTRACT: Arsenic contamination in food and ground water constitutes a public health concern to more than 100 million people worldwide. Individuals chronically exposed to arsenic through drinking and ingestion exhibit a higher risk in developing cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of arsenic toxicity are not fully understood. Arsenite is known to bind to and deactivate RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligases; thus, we reason that a systematic interrogation about how arsenite exposure modulates global protein ubiquitination may reveal novel molecular targets for arsenic toxicity. By employing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, in combination with stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and immunoprecipitation of di-glycine-conjugated lysine-containing tryptic peptides, we assessed the alterations in protein ubiquitination in GM00637 human skin fibroblast cells upon arsenite exposure at the entire proteome level. We observed that arsenite exposure led to altered ubiquitination of many proteins, where the alterations in a large majority of ubiquitination events are negatively correlated with changes in expression of the corresponding proteins, suggesting their modulation by the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway. Moreover, we observed that arsenite exposure confers diminished ubiquitination of a rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, HMGCR, at Lys248. In addition, we revealed that TRC8 is the major E3 ubiquitin ligase for HMGCR ubiquitination in HEK293T cells, and the arsenite-induced diminution of HMGCR ubiquitination is abrogated with depletion of TRC8. In summary, we systematically characterized arsenite-induced perturbations in ubiquitinated proteome in human cells, and found that the arsenite-elicited diminution of HMGCR ubiquitination involves TRC8.

Project description:Arsenic (As) exposure is a significant worldwide environmental health concern. Low dose, chronic arsenic exposure has been associated with higher risk of skin, lung, and bladder cancer, as well as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. While arsenic-induced biological changes play a role in disease pathology, little is known about the dynamic cellular changes due to arsenic exposure and withdrawal. In these studies, we seek to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the biological changes induced by chronic low doses of arsenic exposure. We used a comprehensive approach involving chromatin structural studies and mRNA microarray analyses to determine how chromatin structure and gene expression patterns change in response to chronic low dose arsenic exposure and its subsequent withdrawal. Our results show that cells exposed to low doses of sodium arsenite have distinct temporal and coordinated chromatin, gene expression and miRNA changes that are consistent with differentiation and activation of multiple biochemical pathways. Most of these temporal patterns in gene expression are reversed when arsenic was withdrawn. However, some of the gene expression patterns remained altered, plausibly as a result of an adaptive response by these cells. Additionally, these gene expression patterns correlated with changes in chromatin structure, further solidifying the role of chromatin structure in gene regulatory changes due to arsenite exposure. Lastly, we show that arsenite exposure influences gene regulation both at the transcription initiation as well as at the splicing level. Thus our results suggest that general patterns of alternative splicing, as well as expression of particular gene regulators, can be indicative of arsenite-induced cell transformation. A total of eight (8) samples with two biological replicates under four separate conditions: wild-type treated with deionized H2O for 36 days (NT); chronic low-dose arsenic exposure of 1 uM of sodium arsenite (iAs-T) for 36 days; chronic arsenic exposure of 1 uM of sodium arsenite for 26 days followed by removal of sodium arsenite for 10 days, measured at day 36 (iAs-Rev); and chronic arsenic exposure of 1 uM of sodium arsenite for 26 days, followed by removal of sodium arsenite exposure for 10 days, followed by 1 uM of chronic sodium arsenite exposure for 10 days (measured at day 46) (iAs-Rev-T).

Project description:Talemi2014 - Arsenic toxicity and detoxification mechanisms in yeast The model implements arsenite (AsIII) transport regulation, its distribution within main cellular AsIII pools and detoxification. The intracellular As pools considered are free AsIII (AsIIIin), protein-bound AsIII (AsIIIprot), glutathione conjugated AsIII (AsGS3) and vacuolar sequestered AsIII (vAsGS3). This model is described in the article: Mathematical modelling of arsenic transport, distribution and detoxification processes in yeast. Talemi SR, Jacobson T, Garla V, Navarrete C, Wagner A, Tamás MJ, Schaber J. Mol. Microbiol. 2014 Jun; 92(6): 1343-1356 Abstract: Arsenic has a dual role as causative and curative agent of human disease. Therefore, there is considerable interest in elucidating arsenic toxicity and detoxification mechanisms. By an ensemble modelling approach, we identified a best parsimonious mathematical model which recapitulates and predicts intracellular arsenic dynamics for different conditions and mutants, thereby providing novel insights into arsenic toxicity and detoxification mechanisms in yeast, which could partly be confirmed experimentally by dedicated experiments. Specifically, our analyses suggest that: (i) arsenic is mainly protein-bound during short-term (acute) exposure, whereas glutathione-conjugated arsenic dominates during long-term (chronic) exposure, (ii) arsenic is not stably retained, but can leave the vacuole via an export mechanism, and (iii) Fps1 is controlled by Hog1-dependent and Hog1-independent mechanisms during arsenite stress. Our results challenge glutathione depletion as a key mechanism for arsenic toxicity and instead suggest that (iv) increased glutathione biosynthesis protects the proteome against the damaging effects of arsenic and that (v) widespread protein inactivation contributes to the toxicity of this metalloid. Our work in yeast may prove useful to elucidate similar mechanisms in higher eukaryotes and have implications for the use of arsenic in medical therapy.
