Project description:Urea cycle disorders with hyperammonemia remain difficult to treat and eventually necessitate liver transplantation. An ornithine transcarbamylase defect (Otcspf-ash) mouse model, a model of urea cycle disorder, was used to test whether knockdown of a key glutamine metabolism enzyme glutaminase 2 (Gls2) or glutamine dehydrogenase 1 (Glud1) could rescue the hyperammonemia and associated lethality induced by a high protein diet. Reduced hepatic expression of Gls2, but not Glud1, by AAV8-mediated delivery of a short hairpin RNA in Otcspf-ash mice diminished hyperammonemia, reduced body weight loss, and reduced lethality. These data suggest that Gls2 hepatic knockdown could help alleviate risk for hyperammonemia and other clinical manifestations of patients suffering from defects in the urea cycle.

Project description:Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in the cells and tissues, are of fundamental importance for cell survival, maintenance, and proliferation. The liver plays a critical role in amino acid metabolism and detoxication of byproducts such as ammonia. Urea cycle disorders with hyperammonemia remain difficult to treat and eventually necessitate liver transplantation. In this study, ornithine transcarbamylase deficient (Otcspf-ash ) mouse model was used to test whether knockdown of a key glutamine metabolism enzyme glutaminase 2 (GLS2, gene name: Gls2) or glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1, gene name: Glud1) could rescue the hyperammonemia and associated lethality induced by a high protein diet. We found that reduced hepatic expression of Gls2 but not Glud1 by AAV8-mediated delivery of a short hairpin RNA in Otcspf-ash mice diminished hyperammonemia and reduced lethality. Knockdown of Gls2 but not Glud1 in Otcspf-ash mice exhibited reduced body weight loss and increased plasma glutamine concentration. These data suggest that Gls2 hepatic knockdown could potentially help alleviate risk for hyperammonemia and other clinical manifestations of patients suffering from defects in the urea cycle.

Project description:The decline in sperm function is a major cause of human male infertility. Glutaminase, a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to generate glutamate, takes part in many diverse biological processes such as neurotransmission, metabolism, and cellular senescence. Here we report a role of glutaminase in regulating sperm function. By generating a triple mutant that harbors a loss-of-function allele for each of all three mammalian glutaminase orthologs, we found that glutaminase gene activity is required for optimal C. elegans sperm function. Tissue-specific gene manipulations showed that germline glutaminase activity plays an important role. Moreover, transcriptional profiling and antioxidant treatment suggested that glutaminase promotes sperm function by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. As maintaining a low level of ROS is crucial to human sperm function, it is very likely that glutaminase plays a similar role in humans and therefore can be a potential target for treating human male infertility.

Project description:ra05-09_urea - urea - What are the transcriptomic plant responses to urea nitrogen supply ? - Columbia Arabidopsis ecotype were grown hydroponically on 0.5 mM NH4NO3 as sole nitrogen source during 35 days under short days. Plants were then placed on 3 nutrient solutions supplemented, either with 1 mM NH4NO3, or with 0.5 mM NH4NO3 + 0.5 mM Urea, or with 1 mM Urea. Root and shoot samples were harvested separately 7 days after these different nitrogen treatments Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:Excess/residual urea is a pervasion problem in wine and Sake fermentation. We sought to reduce residual urea levels (to reduce ethyl carbamate leves) by engineering the Sake yeast strain K7 to constitutively express either the urea amidolyase (Dur1,2) or urea importer (Dur3). We sought to then compare the gene expression profiles of the metabolically engineered yeast strains to the parental strain during fermentation. Engineered strains would hopefully have gene expression profiles that were minimally different from the parental strain.

We sought to then compare the gene expression profiles of the metabolically engineered yeast strains to the parental strain during fermentation. Engineered strains would hopefully have gene expression profiles that were minimally different from the parental strain. Yeast strains were used to ferment Chardonnay grape must and total RNA harvested at 24 hrs into fermentation. 10 ug of total RNA was made into cDNA, and then labelled cRNA, with the Affymetrix GeneChip one cycle target amplification and labelling system. Fragmented cRNA was then hybridized to an Affymetrix YGS98 array in biological duplicate.

Project description:Many cases of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are resistant to the widely used drug sorafenib, which worsens prognosis. While many studies have explored how acquired resistance emerges during drug exposure, the mechanism underlying primary resistance before treatment still remain elusive. Here, we performed single-cell lineage tracing and RNA sequencing to identify sorafenib-resistant lineages in HCC, and demonstrated that high expression of S100A14 was positively associated with primary sorafenib resistance. Knocking down S100A14 rendered xenograft tumors in mice significantly more sensitive to sorafenib. Mechanistic studies indicated that S100A14 binds to glutaminase and blocks its phosphorylation at residues Y308 and S314, which in turn inhibits its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. This stabilization of glutaminase reduces oxidative stress in HCC cells and thereby antagonizes the ability of sorafenib to induce apoptosis. Inhibiting glutaminase with telaglenastat (CB-839) significantly improved sorafenib efficacy against xenograft tumors in vivo. These results suggest that S100A14 can contribute to primary sorafenib resistance in HCC by stabilizing glutaminase. Thus, analyzing the expression of S100A14 may be useful for predicting primary sorafenib resistance, and inhibiting S100A14 or glutaminase may be effective for preventing or overcoming such resistance.

Project description:Although urea is the most used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, little is known on the capacity of crop plants to use urea per se as a nitrogen source for development and growth. To date, the molecular and physiological bases of its transport have been investigated only in a limited number of species. In particular, up to date only one study reported the transcriptomic modulation induced by urea treatment in the model plant Arabidopsis (MM-CM-)rigout et al., 2008 doi: 10.1104/pp.108.119339). In maize, one of crops using huge amount of urea, only a physiological characterization of uptake and assimilation of the N-source has been conducted. General aim of the present work was the comprehension of the molecular basis of urea uptake and assimilation in maize plants, using a transcriptomic approach. In addition, the work focused on the possible interactions between the two main N-sources, conceivably occurring concomitantly in the soil, urea and nitrate. 5 dd-old maize plants were treated for 8 hours with nutrient solution containing nitrogen in form of urea; nitrate; urea and nitrate; or not exposed to any form of nitrogen. Three different biological replicates were used for each sample repeating the experiment three times. All samples were obtained pooling roots of six plants.

Project description:Phosphorylation of skeletal muscle proteins mediates cellular signaling and adaptive responses to exercise. Bioinformatic and machine learning approaches identified preclinical models that recapitulate human exercise responses. Feature selection showed that muscles from treadmill running mice and maximum intensity contractions shared the most differentially phosphorylated phosphosites (DPPS) with human exercise. Benefits of exercise in chronic diseases may be reduced by hyperammonemia, a consistent perturbation in chronic diseases and a muscle cytotoxin generated during contractile activity. Comparative analysis of experimentally validated molecules identified 63 DPPS on 265 differentially expressed phosphoproteins (DEpP) shared between hyperammonemia in myotubes and skeletal muscle from exercise models. Functional enrichment analyses revealed distinct temporal patterns of enrichment shared between hyperammonemia and exercise models including protein kinase A(PKA), calcium signaling, mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling, and protein homeostasis. Our approach of feature extraction of comparative unbiased data allows for model selection and target identification to optimize responses to interventions.
