Project description:While thousands of previously unannotated small and alternative open reading frames (alt-ORFs) have recently been revealed in the human genome, the functions of only a handful are currently known, leaving open the question of their biological significance as a class. Using a proteomic strategy for discovery of unannotated short open reading frames in human cells, we report the detection of alt-RPL36, a 148-amino acid protein co-encoded with and overlapping human RPL36. Alt-RPL36 interacts with TMEM24, which transports the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] precursor phosphatidylinositol from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. Knock-out of alt-RPL36 in HEK 293T cells increased PI(4,5)P2 levels in the plasma membrane and upregulated the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Remarkably, we find that four serine residues of alt-RPL36 are phosphorylated, and mutation of these four serines to alanine abolished the interaction with TMEM24 and regulation of PI3K signaling. These results implicate alt-RPL36 as a novel regulator of PI(4,5)P2 synthesis upstream of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, and the first example of a phosphorylated alt-ORF product. More broadly, both alt-RPL36 and RPL36 regulate protein synthesis and cell growth via different molecular mechanisms – AKT signaling and ribosome composition, respectively. One human transcript can therefore express two sequence-independent polypeptides from overlapping ORFs that regulate the same processes via distinct mechanisms.

Project description:We characterize non-annotated protein alt-RPL36 which is encoded by RPL36 transcript isoform 2 and overlaps with the RPL36 open reading frame. Its function is examined by specific CRISPR deletion of the GTG start codon located 5' to the RPL36 ATG initiation site. Overall changes in transcript expression are evaluated by comparison with wild type HEK293T cells. RPL36 protein expression is not affected by the altRPL36 start codon deletion.

Project description:Thousands of human small and alternative open reading frames (smORFs and alt-ORFs, respectively) have recently been annotated. Many alt-ORFs are co-encoded with canonical proteins in multicistronic configurations, but few of their functions are known. Here, we report the detection of alt-RPL36, a protein co-encoded with human RPL36. Alt-RPL36 partially localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it interacts with TMEM24, which transports the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) precursor phosphatidylinositol from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. Knock-out of alt-RPL36 increases plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2 levels, upregulates PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling, and increases cell size. Alt-RPL36 contains four phosphoserine residues, point mutations of which abolish interaction with TMEM24 and, consequently, alt-RPL36 effects on PI3K signaling and cell size. These results implicate alt-RPL36 as an upstream regulator of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling. More broadly, the RPL36 transcript encodes two sequence-independent polypeptides that co-regulate translation via different molecular mechanisms, expanding our knowledge of multicistronic human gene functions.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activation contributes to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) pathogenesis and drug resistance. However, the use of mTOR inhibitors as single agents have shown limited clinical efficacy in relation with drug activation of feedback loops. Selective PI3K inhibition or dual PI3K/mTOR catalytic inhibition are different therapeutic approaches developed to achieve effective pathway blockage. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor in primary MCL cells. We found that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor modulated angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness and cytokine signaling compared to a mTOR inhibitor and a pan-PI3K inhibitor in MCL. We used microarrays to compare the effect of these three compounds in MCL and identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes modulated by each compound. Global RNA expression in primary cells from two MCL patients treated with a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor for 8 hours

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a lethal digestive tract malignancy with limited effective interventions. This study aims to explore a new potential inhibitor on OSCC and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Based on a drug screen of an FDA-proven library consisting of 1404 compounds, we demonstrated that Omipalisib, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, markedly inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in a panel of OSCC cell lines. Mechanistically, Omipalisib induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, RNA-seq, KEGG and GSEA confirmed that the PI3K/mTOR signalling pathway is the primary target of Omipalisib in OSCC cells. Omipalisib treatment suppressed the PI3K/mTOR signalling pathway. Furthermore, Omipalisib exerted a significant antineoplastic effect on OSCC tumour xenografts in BALB/c nude mice without obvious side effects. The present study supports the rationale for using Omipalisib as a therapeutic approach for OSCC cases and suggests the potential clinical evaluation of this strategy.

Project description:Mucin 3A(MUC3A) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis, but the related mechanism remains unclear. Our study found that MUC3A promotes the progression of CRC by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Knockout of MUC3A significantly inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells and induced G1 phase arrest by upregulating p21 protein, an important cell cycle regulator. Moreover, knockout of MUC3A significantly inhibited invasion ability and enhanced the sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic agent 5-FU. Furthermore, we found that knockout of MUC3A repressed the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway through RNA-seq. Treatment with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitor rapamycin successfully eliminated the difference in proliferation, invasion and chemoresistance between MUC3A knockout cells and control cells. Our study suggests that MUC3A is a potential oncogene that promotes the proliferation, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance of CRC. Moreover, CRC patients with high expression of MUC3A may benefit from rapamycin treatment.

Project description:The mTOR (mammalian Target of Rapamycin) pathway is constitutively activated in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). mTOR inhibition has been shown to have clinical activity in patients with DLBCL, although overall response rates remain low. We therefore evaluated differences in the transcriptome between DLBCL cell lines with differential sensitivity to the mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin, to (A) identify gene-expression patterns(GEP) capable of identifying sensitivity to Rapamycin, (B) understand the underlying mechanisms of resistance to Rapamycin in DLBCL and (C) identify bioactive molecules likely to synergize with mTOR inhibitors. Using Affymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 microarrays, we were able to identify a gene expression signature capable of accurately predicting sensitivity and resistance to Rapamycin in DLBCL cell lines. Pathway analysis identified the serine/threonine kinase Akt as central to the differentially-expressed gene network. Connectivity mapping of our datasets identified compounds targeting the AKT pathway with a high likelihood of reversing the GEP associated with resistance to Rapamycin. Specifically, we evaluated the HIV protease inhibitor (PI) Nelfinavir, which is known to have anti-cancer and Akt-inhibitory properties, as well as the small molecule Akt inhibitor MK-2206, for their potential to synergize with to Rapamycin in DLBCL. Nelfinavir and MK-2206 caused profound inhibition of cell viability in combination with Rapamycin in DLBCL cell lines. Low nanomolar concentrations of Rapamycin inhibited phosphorylation of Akt and also downstream targets of activated mTOR when used in combination with these Akt inhibitors. These findings have the potential to significantly improve patient selection for mTOR inhibitor therapy, and to improve rates and depths of response. More broadly, they support the use of global RNA expression and connectivity mapping to improve patient selection and identify synergistic drug combinations for cancer therapy. DLBCL cell lines were tested for Rapamycin sensitivity and classified as "sensitive" or "resistant." Genome-wide analysis of all cell lines were performed using the Affymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 Array Platform. Genes with differential expression between sensitive and resistant cell lines were analyzed using Statistical Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software, and a signature of genes determnined. This signature was found to accurately predict sensitivity or resistance of other DLBCL cell lines, and to identify the protein kinase Akt as central to resistance.

Project description:Epidemiological investigations have revealed a significant association between alcohol consumption and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Nevertheless, the potential mechanisms are still inadequately revealed. This research aimed to investigate the impact of alcohol on CP/CPPS using an animal model and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. We first established the widely used animal model for CP/CPPS, experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP). During the induction of EAP, mice were fed with alcohol or control diet. The HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments were employed to assess the severity of inflammation in EAP mice and EAP-alcohol mice. Patients with a history of chronic alcohol consumption were also included to evaluate the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on CP/CPPS. Subsequently, proteomic analysis, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were utilized to investigate the underlying mechanism involved both in vivo and in vitro. HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments showed that alcohol exacerbated the severity of EAP in mice and patients. Proteomic and KEGG pathway analyses showed that abnormal Th1 differentiation and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were significantly enriched. Subsequent mechanistic research showed that alcohol significantly activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway andincreased the Th1 cell differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. In contrast, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and shRNA-PI3K plasmid inhibited PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation, reduced Th1 cell differentiation, and alleviated EAP inflammation severity, respectively. Our study is the first to demonstrate that alcohol intake promotes Th1 cell differentiation and exacerbates EAP by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Additionally, the role of LY294002 in inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to relieve EAP suggests that it can serveas a promising therapeutic target for CP/CPPS.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is one of the commonest and deadliest diseases that threaten the health of women worldwide. It is essential to find out its pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets for OC patients. Although NUF2 (Ndc80 kinetochore complex component) has been suggested to play an important role in the development of many cancers, but little is known about its function and the roles of proteins that regulate NUF2 in OC. This study aimed to investigate the effect of NUF2 on the tumorigenicity of OC and the activities of proteins that interact with NUF2.MethodsOncomine database and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were used to evaluate the expression of NUF2 in OC tissues and normal tissues respectively. Normal ovarian epithelial cell lines (HOSEpiC) and OC cell lines (OVCAR3、HEY、SKOV3) were cultured. Western blot was applied to analyze the expression of NUF2 in these cell lines. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to silence the expression of NUF2 in OC cell lines, SKOV3 and HEY. Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), the CCK-8 method, colony formation assay and flow cytometry were conducted to analyze the biological functions of NUF2 in vitro. OC subcutaneous xenograft tumor models were used for in vivo tests. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry (IP/MS) were performed to verify the molecular mechanisms of NUF2 in OC. IP, immunofluorescence, IHC staining, and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis platform (GEPIA) were used to analyze the relationship between HNRNPA2B1 and NUF2 in OC cells. SiRNA was used to silence the expression of HNRNPA2B1 in SKOV3 cells, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay and western blot were used to detect the effect of HNRNPA2B1 on NUF2. GEPIA, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, GSEA and western blot were used to detect the potential signaling pathways related to the roles of HNRNPA2B1 and NUF2 in OC cells.ResultsOur results showed high NUF2 expression in OC tissues and OC cell lines, which was associated with shorter overall survival and progression-free survival in patients. NUF2 depletion by siRNA suppressed the proliferation abilities and induced cell apoptosis of OC cells in vitro, and impeded OC growth in vivo. Mechanistically, NUF2 interacted with HNRNPA2B1 and activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in OC cells.ConclusionNUF2 could serve as a prognostic biomarker, and regulated the carcinogenesis and progression of OC. Moreover, NUF2 may interact with HNRNPA2B1 by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway to promote the development of OC cells. Our present study supported the key role of NUF2 in OC and suggested its potential as a novel therapeutic target.
