Project description:β-caryophyllene (BCP) exhibits anti-proliferative properties in cancer cells. Here, we examine the hypothesis that BCP induces membrane remodeling. Our data show that high concentrations of BCP increase membrane permeability of human breast cells (hBrC) causing detachment and cell death. At a “sub-lethal” concentration of BCP, we show that BCP induces a striking upregulation of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, including the gene that encodes for HMGCoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-determining step in cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is also upregulated which would lead to the enhanced formation of monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleate and palmitoleate from stearoyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, respectively. These fatty acids are major components of membrane phospholipids and cholesterol esters. Together, these data suggest that cells respond to BCP by increasing the synthesis of components found in membranes. These responses could be viewed as a repair mechanism and/or as a mechanism to mount resistance to the cytotoxic effect of BCP. Blocking HMGCR enhances the cytotoxicity of BCP, suggesting that this may provide an additional therapeutic tool in controlling breast cancer cell growth, assuming that targeted specificity could be established.

Project description:The sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors that govern cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Owing to their central role in controlling hepatic lipid and lipoprotein metabolism their activity is tightly coordinated, and accordingly dysregulation of the SREBP pathway is associated with development of dyslipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Using a suite of genome-wide genetic screens we have recently identified SPRING (C12ORF49) as a novel post-transcriptional regulator of SREBP activation in vitro. Our previous work demonstrated that constitutive ablation of Spring in mice is embryonically lethal. Here we show that inducible global deletion of Spring is also untolerated, and therefore to interrogate the physiological role of SPRING in controlling hepatic lipid metabolism we developed liver-specific Spring knockout mice (LKO). Liver transcriptomics and proteomics analysis revealed severely attenuated SREBP signaling in livers and in hepatocytes of LKO mice, which was associated with marked effects on both plasma and hepatic lipid levels. In plasma, total cholesterol levels were dramatically reduced in both male and female LKO mice, apparent in both the LDL and HDL fractions, while triglyceride levels remained largely unaffected. In liver, loss of Spring diminished cholesterol and triglyceride biosynthesis resulting in decreased hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride content. This coincided with reduced secretion of VLDL into the circulation. Consistent with diminished hepatic de novo lipogenesis, LKO mice were protected from developing hepatosteatosis when challenged with a fructose-rich diet. Supporting the significance of our findings in mice, we identified common and rare SPRING genetic variants that are strongly associated with circulating HDL-c and ApoA1 levels in humans. Collectively, our study positions SPRING as a core component of hepatic SREBP signaling, and consequently of systemic lipid metabolism in mice and humans.

Project description:Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are key transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism. To define functional differences between the three mammalian SREBPs we are using genome-wide ChIP-seq with isoform-specific antibodies and chromatin from select tissues of mice challenged with different dietary conditions that enrich for specific SREBPs. We show hepatic SREBP-2 binds preferentially to two different gene-proximal motifs. Gene ontology analyses suggests SREBP-2 targets lipid metabolic processes as expected but apoptosis and autophagy gene categories were also enriched. We show SREBP-2 directly activates autophagy genes during cell sterol depletion, conditions known to induce both autophagy and nuclear SREBP-2 levels. Additionally, SREBP-2 knockdown during nutrient depletion decreased autophagosome formation and lipid droplet association of the autophagosome targeting protein LC3. Thus, the lipid droplet could be viewed as a third source of cellular cholesterol, which along with sterol synthesis and uptake, is also regulated by SREBP-2. Examination of hepatic SREBP-2 binding using ChIP-Seq. One ChIP-Seq dataset and one IgG control.

Project description:Background: Lung function is dependent upon the precise regulation of the synthesis, storage, and catabolism of tissue and alveolar lipids. Results: Activation of SREBP (Sterol Response Element Binding Protein) induced lipogenesis in alveolar epithelial cells, causing neutral lipid accumulation, lung inflammation, and tissue remodeling. Conclusions: The accumulation of neutral lipids in type II epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages caused lung inflammation, consistent with findings in lipid storage disorders. Significance: Pulmonary lipotoxicity may contribute to the pathogenesis of lung dysfunction associated with diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic disorders. Genome-wide transcription profiling comparison between doxycycline-exposed SFTPC-rtTAWT/Tg/(tetO)7CMV-CreWT/Tg/Insig1flox/flox/Insig2-/- mice (i.e., Insig1/2∆/∆ ) and Insig1flox/flox/Insig2-/- . Three independent pooled RNA from isolated lung type 2 cells of each genotype were used.

Project description:The key lipid metabolism transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1a integrates gene regulatory effects of hormones, cytokines, nutrition and metabolites as lipids, glucose or cholesterol via stimuli specific phosphorylation by different MAPK cascades. We have formerly reported the systemic impact of phosphorylation in transgenic mouse models with liver-specific overexpression of the N-terminal transcriptional active domain of SREBP-1a (alb-SREBP-1a) or a MAPK kinase phosphorylation sites deficient variant (alb-SREBP-1a∆P; (S63A, S117A, T426V)), respectively. Here we investigated the molecular basis of the systemic observation in holistic hepatic gene expression analyses and lipid degrading organelles involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, i.e. peroxisomes, by 2D-DIGE and mass spectrometry analyses. Although alb-SREBP-1a mice develop a severe phenotype with visceral adipositas and hepatic lipid accumulation featuring a fatty liver, the hepatic differential gene expression and alterations in peroxisomal protein patterns compared to control mice were surprisingly relative low. In contrast, phosphorylation site deficient alb-SREBP-1a∆P mice, protected from hepatic lipid accumulation phenotype, showed gross alteration in hepatic gene expression and peroxisomal proteome. Further knowledge based analyzes revealed that overexpression of SREBP-1a favored mainly acceleration in lipid metabolism and indicated a regular insulin signaling, whereas disruption of SREBP-1a phosphorylation resulted in massive alteration of cellular processes including signs for loss of lipid metabolic targets. These results could be the link to a disturbed lipid metabolism that overall resembles a state of insulin resistance.

Project description:In tumorous conditions, the transcription factor STAT1, traditionally recognized for its anti-tumor role in immunology, exhibits pro-survival characteristics, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Investigating STAT1's function in isogenic colorectal tumor cells with wild-type or mutant KRAS, we found that STAT1 specifically promotes the survival and proliferation of cells with mutant KRAS. Through gene expression profiling, we discovered a previously unknown role of STAT1 in upregulating sterol and lipid biosynthetic genes specifically in mutant KRAS cells. This effect is driven by STAT1’s phosphorylation at serine 727 and its cooperation with STAT3 and STAT5 for the transcriptional upregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP) 1 and 2, which boost de novo sterol and lipid biosynthesis. In mutant KRAS cells, STAT1 amplifies the mevalonate pathway, maintaining its serine 727 phosphorylation through the upregulation of RHO GTPase signaling and establishing a positive feedback loop through the transcription factors YAP1 and TEAD4, further driving lipid biosynthesis and tumor growth. Through xenograft tumor assays in mice, we discovered that the STAT1-YAP1 axis plays a role in mutant KRAS tumor cells' resistance to mevalonate pathway inhibitors, which can be overcome by pharmacologically targeting the YAP1-TEAD interaction. Additionally, the STAT1-YAP1 arm is essential for the intrinsic resistance to EGFR-targeting therapy in the mutant KRAS colon cancer cells. These findings indicate that the STAT1-YAP1 pathway plays a significant role in therapy resistance and presents a potential therapeutic target in mutant KRAS colorectal cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying genes commonly regulated by STAT1 and YAP1 in HCT116 cells.

Project description:Macrophages are critical immune cells in inflammatory diseases and their differentiation and function are tightly regulated by epigenetic alterations. H3K79 methylation is an epigenetic modification associated with active gene expression and DOT1L is the only histone methyltransferase for H3K79. Here we determine the role of DOT1L in macrophages by applying a selective DOT1L inhibitor in mouse and human macrophages and using myeloid-specific Dot1l deficient mice. We found that DOT1L directly regulates macrophage function by controlling lipid biosynthesis gene programs including central lipid regulators like sterol regulatory element-binding proteins SREBP1 and SREBP2. DOT1L inhibition also leads to macrophage hyperactivation which is associated with disrupted SREBP pathways. In vivo, myeloid Dot1l deficiency reduces atherosclerotic plaque stability and increases the activation of inflammatory plaque macrophages. Our data show that DOT1L is a crucial regulator of macrophage inflammatory responses and lipid regulatory pathways and suggests a high relevance of H3K79 methylation in inflammatory disease.
