Project description:We found that β-arrestin 1 -/- mice were more sensitive to hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension with increased right ventricle hypertrophy and higher right ventricle systolic pressure, while β-arrestin 2 -/- mice developed right ventricle hypertrophy comparable to wild type mice. Moreover, β-arrestin 1 -/- mice had worse right ventricle function than wild type mice in response to chronic hypoxia, whereas β-arrestin 2 -/- mice relatively preserved right ventricle function compared to wild type mice. To investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the worse PAH in β-arrestin 1 -/- mice, we performed lung transcriptome analysis of wild type, β-arrestin 1 -/-, and β-arrestin 2 -/- mice using high-throughput RNA-seq.

Project description:Biased G protein-coupled receptor agonists engender a restricted repertoire of downstream events from their cognate receptors, permitting them to produce mixed agonist-antagonist effects in vivo. While this opens the possibility of novel therapeutics, it complicates rational drug design, since the in vivo response to a biased agonist cannot be reliably predicted from its in vitro efficacy. We have employed novel informatic approaches to characterize the in vivo transcriptomic signature of the arrestin pathway-selective parathyroid hormone analog [D-Trp12, Tyr34]-bPTH(7-34) in six different murine tissues after chronic drug exposure. We find that [D-Trp12, Tyr34]-bPTH(7-34) elicits a distinctive arrestin-signaling focused transcriptomic response that is more coherently regulated across tissues than that of the pluripotent agonist, hPTH(1-34). This arrestin-focused network is closely associated with transcriptional control of cell growth and development. Our demonstration of a conserved arrestin-dependent transcriptomic signature suggests a framework within which the in vivo outcomes of arrestin-biased signaling may be generalized.

Project description:We define a pathogenic role for a ß-catenin-activated genetic pathway in murine renal dysplasia. Cre-mediated stabilization of ß-catenin in the ureteric cell lineage prior to the onset of kidney development increased ß-catenin levels and caused renal aplasia or severe hypodysplasia. A genome-wide analysis of mRNA expression in dysplastic tissue identified down-regulation of genes required for ureteric branching and up regulation of Tgfß2 and Dkk1. Hoxb7-Cre:EGFP mice ( Zhao, et al. (2004) Dev Biol 276:403-415) were crossed with mice containing loxP sites flanking exon 3 of the ß-catenin allele (ß-catdelta3/delta3) (Harada,et al. (2002) Cancer Res 62:1971-1977) to generate ß-catenin gain-of-function mutant mice specific to the uteric bud, termed ß-catGOF-UB .Eighteen ß-catGOF-UB mutant kidneys and 9 WT kidneys were micro-dissected at E12.5. Mutant kidneys were divided into three random pools (n=3) consisting of 6 kidneys each and mRNA expression assessed by microarray.

Project description:Virus infection may induce excessive interferon (IFN) responses that can lead to host tissue injury or even death. β-arrestin 2 regulates multiple cellular events through the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways. Here we demonstrate that β-arrestin 2 also promotes virus-induced production of IFN-β and clearance of viruses in macrophages. β-arrestin 2 interacts with cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and increases the binding of dsDNA to cGAS to enhance cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) production and the downstreatm stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and innate immune responses. Mechanistically, deacetylation of β-arrestin 2 at Lys171 facilitates the activation of the cGAS–STING signaling and the production of IFN-β. In vitro, viral infection induces the degradation of β-arrestin 2 to facilitate immune evasion, while a β-blocker, carvedilol, rescues β-arrestin 2 expression to maintain the antiviral immune response. Our results thus identify a viral immune-evasion pathway via the degradation of β-arrestin 2, and also hint that carvedilol, approved for treating heart failure, can potentially be repurposed as an antiviral drug candidate.

Project description:The ability to isolate pure pancreatic ß-cells would greatly aid multiple areas of diabetes research. We developed an exendin-4-like neopeptide conjugate for the rapid purification and isolation of functional pancreatic ß-cells. By targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, ß-cells were isolated within an hour and were >99% pure. These studies were confirmed by immunostaining, confocal microscopy and microarray analysis on isolated cells. Gene expression profiling studies of the cytofluorometrically sorted ß-cells provided new insights into the genetic programs at play of different ages and stages during type-1 diabetes development. The described isolation method should have broad applicability to the ß-cell field. Microarray profile of beta cells from isolated islets from 4 and 12 week old NOD mice. Cells were stained with 50 nM Ex4+ probe and sorted on FACS ARIA. DAPI and CD45+ cells were excluded.

Project description:Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably utilized immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and there are no studies on the potential of Rho small GTPase to overcome senescence checkpoints and induce preneoplastic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs). We found that ectopic expression of wild-type RhoA as well as a constitutively-active RhoA mutant (G14V) in primary hMEC strains led to their immortalization and preneoplastic transformation. Significantly, RhoA-T37A mutant, known to be incapable of interacting with many well known Rho-effectors ,was also capable of immortalizing hMECs.Our results demonstrate that RhoA can induce the preneoplastic transformation of hMECs by altering multiple pathways linked cellular transformation and breast cancer. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to RhoA induced hMECs immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, in triplicate analyses per sample.

Project description:-arrestins (arr1 and arr2) are ubiquitous regulators of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling. Available data suggest that -arrestins dock to different receptors in different ways. However, the structural characterization of arrestin-GPCR complexes is challenging and alternative approaches to study arrestin-GPCR complexes are needed. Here, starting from the finger loop as a major site for the interaction of arrestins with GPCRs, we genetically incorporate non-canonical amino acids for photo- and chemical crosslinking into arr1 and arr2 and explore binding topologies to GPCRs forming either stable or transient complexes with arrestin: the vasopressin receptor 2 (rhodopsin-like), the corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1 and the parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (both secretin-like). We show that each receptor leaves a unique footprint on arrestin, whereas the two -arrestins yield quite similar crosslinking patterns. Furthermore, we show that the method allows defining the orientation of arrestin respect to the GPCR. Finally, we provide direct evidence for the formation of arrestin oligomers in the cell.

Project description:Using mice with a keratinocyte-restricted deletion of the RhoA gene, we explored its role in the regulation of gene expression in vivo and in vitro RNA was isolated from RhoA-null or wildtype keratinocytes, in two different conditions, freshly isolated (in vivo) or cultured (in vitro), using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Germany). Hybridization to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) was carried out at the Copenhagen University Hospital Microarray Center using standard protocols. 2 biological replicates were analyzed for each in vivo genotype (2 samples from RhoA-null, 2 from wildtype), while 3 replicates for each in vitro genotype.

Project description:The small GTPase RhoA regulates a variety of cellular processes, including cell motility, proliferation, survival and permeability. In addition, there are reports suggesting that the RhoA-ROCK axis plays a role in VEGF-mediated angiogenesis, whereas other work has shown opposite effects. To elucidate this conflicting data, we examined HUVEC and HCAEC after stable overexpression (lentiviral transduction) of constitutively active (G14V/Q63L), dominant-negative (T19N), or wild-type RhoA using a variety of in vitro angiogenesis assays (proliferation, migration, tube formation, angiogenic sprouting, endothelial cell viability) and a HUVEC xenograft assay in immune incompetent NSGTM mice in vivo. We observed that expression of active as well as wild-type RhoA but not expression of dominant-negative RhoA significantly increased endothelial cell death as well as inhibited endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation and angiogenic sprouting of endothelial cells in vitro and reduced HUVEC-related angiogenesis in vivo. Inhibition of RhoA by C3 transferase antagonized inhibitory RhoA effects and strongly enhanced VEGF-induced angiogenic sprouting in control-treated cells. In contrast, inhibition of RhoA effectors ROCK1/2 and LIMK1/2 had no significant effect on RhoA-related effects, but again increased angiogenic sprouting and migration of control-treated cells. In line with these data, VEGF did not activate RhoA in HUVEC as measured by a FRET-based biosensor. Furthermore, global transcriptome and subsequent bioinformatic gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses revealed that constitutively active RhoA induces a differentially expressed gene pattern that is enriched for GO biological process terms such as mitotic nuclear division, cell proliferation, cell motility and cell adhesion and includes a significant decrease in VEGFR-2 and NOS3 expression. Thus, our data demonstrate that increased RhoA activity has the potential to trigger endothelial dysfunction and anti-angiogenic effects independently of its well-characterized downstream effectors ROCK and LIMK.
