Project description:The combination of natural products with standard chemotherapeutic agents offers a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of standard chemotherapy by reducing their dosage and side effects. The standard chemotherapeutic drug for breast and other cancer types- doxorubicin(DOX), also known as Adriamycin (an anthracycline) has several disadvantages including severe side effects and development of drug resistance. Recently, we reported the broad spectrum pharmacological activity and potential markers of Australian propolis extract (AP-1). In the present study, we explored the synergistic interactions of AP-1 with DOX against MCF-7 cells by implementing different synergy quantitation models. To identify the potential anticancer metabolites in AP-1, biochemometric and metabolomics-driven study was performed. Furthermore, we evaluated the molecular mechanisms involved by analysing the apoptotic profile (using flow cytometry and proteome array of 35 apoptotic proteins) and oxidative status (using reactive oxygen species detection) of the MCF-7 cells upon treatment with the most synergistic combination. The underlying synergistic mechanism against the MCF-7 cells was also studied using label-free quantification proteomics analysis. Five prenylated stilbenes were identified as the most discriminant metabolites in the most active AP-1 fraction, three of them previously isolated from AP-1 with IC50 values in the range 0.68-2.7 µM against the MCF-7 cells. Strong synergy was observed when AP-1 was combined with DOX in the ratio of 100:0.29 (w/w) as validated by different synergy quantitation models including combination index (CI), HSA, ZIP, LOEWE, and BLISS. AP-1 significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of DOX (p < 0.05) against the MCF-7 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with significant reduction of ROS production (p < 0.05; compared to DOX alone). AP-1 also enhanced the apoptotic effect of DOX significantly after 24 h of treatment with a shift of DOX-induced necrosis to apoptosis. Significant upregulation of catalase, HTRA2/Omi, FADD together with TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, DR5 and DR4 (p < 0.05) was observed which contributed to the anti-proliferative activity of AP-1 against the MCF-7 cells. The enhancement of pro-apoptotic p27, PON2 and catalase with reduction of anti-apoptotic XIAP, HSP60 and HIF-1α may be associated with the improved apoptosis in the MCF-7 cells observed in the Annexin V-7AAD flow cytometry analysis of the synergistic combination compared to the mono treatments. Furthermore, a significant increase of antioxidant proteins including catalase and PON2 was observed upon treatment with the synergistic combination which may be associated with the parallel enhancement of apoptosis. Shotgun proteomics in the synergistic combination-treated cells identified 21 significantly dysregulated proteins involving the TP53/ATM-regulated non-homologous end-joining pathway and double-strand breaks repairs, recruiting the overexpressed BRCA1 and curtailed RIF1 encoded proteins. The overexpression of UPF2 was noticed after the treatment with the synergistic combination which could assist to overcome doxorubicin resistance-associated long non-coding RNA and decline the metastasis of the MCF-7 cells. In summary, we propose a promising AP-1 and DOX synergistic combination against the MCF-7 cells and highlighted the possible synergistic mechanisms of action together with the key prenylated metabolites of AP-1. Further in vivo and clinical studies are warranted on this synergistic combination.

Project description:This research explores the antiproliferative effects of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) salts (magnesium acetate, sodium propionate, and sodium butyrate) on AGS gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Sodium butyrate (NaB) exhibited the most significant inhibitory impact. The study investigated synergistic interactions between NaB and the drug dexamethasone (Dex) using a combination index model. Dex and NaB at a 2:8 ratio showed strong synergy, surpassing mono treatments in inhibitory activity. NaB induced pro-oxidative effects, countered by Dex in combination. Cell population analyses indicated a shift towards apoptosis with Dex, NaB, and their combination. Proteomic analysis revealed downregulation of the oncogene TNS4, suggesting a potential mechanism for antiproliferative effects. These findings suggest NaB as a potential adjuvant therapy with Dex, prompting further exploration of combination therapies and molecular mechanisms, emphasizing the potential application of these postbiotics in gastric cancer treatment.

Project description:ATAC-seq samples from 2 species and 2 cell types were generated to study cis-regulatory element evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPS-cells (Homo sapiens) of 2 human individuals and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque iPSCs (Macaca fascicularis) of 2 individuals (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). The NPC lines were cultured in NPC proliferation medium and passaged 2 - 4 times until they were dissociated and subjected to ATAC-seq together with the respective iPSC clones. ATAC-seq libraries were generated using the Omni-ATAC protocol (Corces et al. 2017) with minor modifications.

Project description:The filarial nematodes Brugia malayi, Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus cause elephantiasis, dermatitis and blindness, resulting in severe morbidity in developing countries. 1.3 billion people are at risk of infection. Targeting the essential Wolbachia endobacteria of filarial nematodes with doxycycline has proven to be an effective therapy, resulting in a block in embryogenesis and worm development, and macrofilaricidal effects. However, doxycycline is contraindicated for a large portion of the at-risk population. To identify new targets for anti-wolbachial therapy, understanding the molecular basis of the Wolbachia-filaria symbiosis is required. We performed cross-species hybridization by using the Brugia malayi microarray to identify differentially expressed genes in the rodent filaria Litomosoides sigmodontis after depletion of Wolbachia which therefore might have a role in symbiosis. Female adult Litomosoides sigmodontis from patent infections were treated with tetracycline to deplete endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria. RNA from tetracycline-treated Litomosoides sigmodontis was compared to untreated age-matched control worms. This experiment was performed for three different timepoints: day 6, 15 and 36 of tetracycline treatment. One biological replicate was performed each with two technical replicates (dye-flip replicates).

Project description:Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) has been instrumental to our current view of chromatin structure and function. It allows genome-wide mapping of histone marks, which demarcate biologically relevant domains. However, ChIP-seq is an ensemble measurement reporting the average occupancy of individual marks in a cell population. Consequently, our understanding of the combinatorial nature of chromatin states relies almost exclusively on correlation between the genomic distributions of individual marks. Here, we report the development of Combinatorial-iChIP to determine the genome-wide co-occurrence of histone marks at single nucleosome resolution. By comparing to null model, we show that certain combinations of overlapping marks (H3K36me3 and H3K79me3) co-occur more frequently than expected by chance, while others (H3K4me3 and H3K36me3) do not, reflecting differences in the underlying chromatin pathways. We further use combinatorial-iChIP to illuminate aspects of the Set2-RPD3S pathway. This approach promises to improve our understanding of the combinatorial complexity of chromatin.
