Project description:Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), a G protein-coupled receptor activated by trypsin and coagulant factors, plays broad spectrum of physiological and pathological roles especially in cancer development. In this study, we used PAR-2 activating peptide to mimic the action of trypsin to trigger PAR-2 signaling pathway and effects of PAR-2 activation on gene expression in human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 investigated by microarray analysis. Through DAVID bioinformatic resources, we observed that activated PAR-2-mediated genes are summarized to two different pathways, renal cell carcinoma and NFkB pathway. In renal cell carcinoma pathway, activated PAR-2 dysregulated hypoxia-inducible factors and its target genes, including glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A). In addition, activated PAR-2 induced MAPK signaling and transcriptional factors, such as JUN, MAP2K1 and ETS1. The regulation of these genes by PAR-2 assumed that PAR-2 signaling was associated with cancer progression. On the other hand, activated PAR-2 upregulated interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) related with NFkB activation, which indicated that PAR-2 signaling may cause cancer-related inflammation. In conclusion, PAR-2 may be a factor to regulate cancer progression and inflammation. Two-condition experiment, control cells vs PAR-2 AP-treated cells.

Project description:Gene expression profiling has demonstrated clinical utility as a predictive tool in clinical oncology. We have identified genes associated with invasion of pancreatic cancer, and with potential for identifying early recurrence. We used Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays to identify specific predictive profiles in pancreatic cancer, and the evolution of gene expression. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines (BxPC-3 and AsPC-1), were stimulated with with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a known inducer of invasion. Affymetrix gene expression microarray analysis was performed, comparing PMA stimulated BxPC-3 and AsPC-1 gene expression to unstimulated controls, and also PMA stimulated BxPC-3 verses stimulated AsPC-1 cell lines. Differential gene expression was identified using ArrayAssist bioinformatics software. Gene expression changes were confirmed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) (Assays-on-demand, Taqman, ABI systems). Pathway Assist and GOstat were used to identify pathway and gene ontology changes.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.

Project description:Analysis of Bxpc-3 cells treated with serotonin under metabolic stress induced by serum deprivation. Serotonin (5-HT), a well-known neuromodulator with both neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine functions, is also involved in tumorigenesis. Results provide insight into molecular basis of serotonin in pancreatic cancer.
