Project description:Biological aging is the dominant risk factor for most chronic diseases. Development of anti-aging interventions offers the promise of simultaneously preventing or even treating many chronic illnesses. Cellular stress resistance is an evolutionarily conserved feature of longevity. Here, we identify compounds that confer resistance to the superoxide generator paraquat (PQ), the heavy metal cadmium (Cd), and the DNA alkylator methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Some rescue compounds conferred resistance to a single stressor, while others conferred multiplex stress resistance. Induction of stress resistance in mouse fibroblasts was highly predictive of longevity extension in a published large-scale longevity screen in C. elegans. Transcriptomic analysis implicated NRF2 signaling in stress resistance provided by two protective compounds, cardamonin and AEG 3482. Molecules that conferred resistance to PQ also induced cellular inflammatory pathways, and core pathways such as AMPK signaling. Following further optimization, small molecules identified in this work, particularly those that promote resistance to multiple distinct stressors, may represent attractive candidates to evaluate for potential pro-health and pro-longevity effects in mammals.

Cellular stress resistance is an evolutionarily conserved feature of longevity. Here, we identify compounds that induced resistance to the superoxide generator paraquat (PQ), the heavy metal cadmium (Cd), and the DNA alkylator methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Some rescue compounds conferred resistance to a single stressor, while others provoked multiplex resistance. Induction of stress resistance in fibroblasts was predictive of longevity extension in a published large-scale longevity screen in Caenorhabditis elegans, although not in testing performed in worms and flies with a more restricted set of compounds. Transcriptomic analysis and genetic studies implicated Nrf2/SKN-1 signaling in stress resistance provided by two protective compounds, cardamonin and AEG 3482. Small molecules identified in this work may represent attractive tools to elucidate mechanisms of stress resistance in mammalian cells.

Project description:The activation of the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) maintains cellular homeostasis in response to oxidative stress by the regulation of multiple cytoprotective genes. Without stressors the activity of Nrf2 is inhibited by its interaction with the kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). Here, we describe RA839, a small molecule that binds non-covalently to the Nrf2-interacting kelch domain of Keap1 with a Kd of approximately 6 µM, as demonstrated by X-ray co-crystallization and isothermal titration calorimetry. Whole-genome DNA arrays showed that at 10 µM RA839 significantly regulated 105 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Canonical pathway mapping of these genes revealed an activation of pathways linked with Nrf2 signalling. These pathways were also activated after the activation of Nrf2 by the silencing of Keap1 expression. RA839 regulated only two genes in Nrf2 knockout macrophages. Similar to the activation of Nrf2 by either silencing of Keap1 expression or by the reactive compound CDDO-Me, RA839 prevented the induction of both inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide release in response to lipopolysaccharides in macrophages. In mice RA839 acutely induced Nrf2-target gene expression in liver. RA839 is a selective inhibitor of the Keap1/Nrf2 interaction and a useful tool compound to study the biology of Nrf2. Gene expression profile of bone marrow derived murine macrophages (BMDM) from Nrf2+/+ or Nrf2-/- mice treated with RA838, siKeap1-1 or siKeap1-2 were compared to untreated DMSO control or siControl. Four biological replicates were used for each sample group.

Project description:Disruption of alternative splicing frequently causes or contributes to human diseases and disorders. Consequently, there is a need for efficient and sensitive reporter assays capable of screening chemical libraries for compounds with efficacy in modulating important splicing events. Here, we describe a screening workflow employing dual Nano and Firefly luciferase alternative splicing reporters that affords highly efficient, sensitive, and linear detection of small molecule responses. Applying this system to a screen of ~95,000 small molecules, we identify compounds that selectively activate or repress a neuronal microexon network that is frequently disrupted in autism and overexpressed in neuroendocrine cancers. Remarkably, among the most potent and selective activating compounds are histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. We thus describe a high-throughput screening system for candidate splicing therapeutics, a resource of small molecule modulators of microexons, and insight into the mode of action and potential utility of HDAC inhibitors in the context of neurological disorders.

Project description:Pathways modulating glucose homeostasis independently of insulin would open new avenues to combat insulin resistance and diabetes. Here, we report the establishment, characterization and use of a vertebrate 'insulin-free' model to identify insulin-independent modulators of glucose metabolism. insulin knockout zebrafish recapitulate core characteristics of diabetes and survive only up to larval stages. Utilizing a highly efficient endoderm transplant technique, we generated viable chimeric adults that provide the large numbers of insulin mutant larvae required for our screening platform. Using glucose as a disease-relevant readout, we screened 2233 molecules and identified 3 that consistently reduced glucose levels in insulin mutants. Most significantly, we uncovered an insulin-independent beneficial role for androgen receptor antagonism in hyperglycemia, mostly by reducing fasting glucose levels. Our study proposes therapeutic roles for androgen signaling in diabetes and, more broadly, offers a novel in vivo model for rapid screening and decoupling of insulin-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Project description:BMP6 is an iron-sensing cytokine produced by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). The transcription factor NRF2 was proposed to induce Bmp6 expression in response to iron-triggered oxidative stress, and NRF2 knock-out mice were shown not capable of regulating Bmp6 in response to massive diet-imposed iron overload. However, LSEC Bmp6 expression levels in the hemochromatosis mouse model reflect hepatocytic, not endothelial iron content. Hence, it is not fully resolved how iron signals translate into alterations of Bmp6 mRNA levels. To further explore the mechanisms of Bmp6 regulation, we employed female mice aged 10-11 months that are hallmarked by hepatocytic, but not LSEC iron accumulation and decreased transferrin saturation, hinting at the absence of systemic iron overload. We found that LSECs of aged mice exhibit increased Bmp6 levels as compared to young controls, but do not show oxidative stress or a transcriptional signature characteristic of activated NFR2-mediated signaling in FACS-sorted LSECs. We further observed that primary murine LSECs derived from both wild-type and NRF2 knock-out mice induce Bmp6 in response to acute iron exposure. By analyzing RNA sequencing data of FACS-sorted LSECs from aged versus young mice, as well as upon acute injections of iron citrate in young mice, we identified ETS1 as a candidate transcription factor involved in Bmp6 regulation. By conducting siRNA-mediated knock-down and small-molecule treatments in primary LSECs, we show that Bmp6 transcription is regulated in an NRF2-independent manner via ETS1, which is activated downstream of p38 MAP kinase-mediated signaling. This knowledge expands the understanding of Bmp6 transcriptional control in both iron-triggered oxidative stress and under the conditions uncoupled to LSECs reactive oxygen species levels.

Project description:Lung squamous cell cancer (LUSC) is associated with very poor survival due to the lack of specific treatments. A common genetic alteration in LUSC involves mutations in NFE2L2 (also named NRF2) or its regulator, KEAP1, resulting in increased activity of the NRF2 transcription factor (TF). This study compares the requirement for active-NRF2 in LUSC cell lines. Although normal-NRF2 cells are more sensitive to oxidative stress, they do not require NRF2 for survival under non-stress conditions, while LUSC cells with active-NRF2 mutations depend on NRF2 for viability. NRF2 depletion in patient-derived organoid cultures with active-NRF2 as well as in xenografts with active-NRF2 triggers cell death. A CRISPRa/dCas9 screening for gene targets capable of rescuing cell survival in these cells identified TRIM24 as a gene whose expression rescues cell survival in NRF2-depleted active-NRF2 LUSC cells. Alongside oxidative stress, the lack of TRIM24 selectively contributed to the induction of cell death (apoptosis and ferroptosis) in active-NRF2 LUSC cells. Cells with a high NFE2L2/KEAP1 copy number ratio also undergo cell death. The increase in cell death observed upon TRIM24 depletion involves a reduction in AKT activity resulting from destabilization of the PI3Ka catalytic subunit. Notably, overexpression of PI3Ka rescues cell survival in TRIM24-depleted active-NRF2 cells. These findings point to novel therapeutic approaches in LUSC.
