Sanguinarine, putative anticancer therapeutic, interacts, modulates and transcripts in the context of chromatin

ABSTRACT: DNA-binding anticancer agents cause alteration in chromatin structure and dynamics. Here, we report the dynamic interaction of the DNA intercalator and potential anticancer, plant alkaloid, sanguinarine (SGR) with chromatin. Association of SGR with different levels of chromatin structure was found to be enthalpy driven. Apart from DNA, it binds with comparable affinity to histones and induces chromatin aggregation. The dual binding property of SGR leads to inhibition of core histone modifications. Although it potently inhibits H3K9 methylation by G9a in vitro, H3K4 and H3R17 methylation are more profoundly inhibited in cells. SGR inhibits histone acetylation both in vitro and in vivo. It does not affect the in vitro transcription from DNA template but significantly represses acetylation-dependent chromatin transcription. SGR mediated repression of epigenetic marks and the alteration of chromatin geography also result in modulation of global gene expression. These data conclusively show that the anticancer DNA-binding intercalator as a modulator of chromatin modifications and transcription in the chromatin context. The total RNA was isolated from control and treated cells using the TRIzol (Invitrogen) method. The Micromax direct labeling kit, MPS502 (PerkinElmer), was used to synthesize the labeled cDNA from 70 ug of total RNA and further process the hybridized cDNA on the array. All the steps were carried out according to manufacturer’s instructions (www.perkinelmer.com/lifesciences). The array slides were scanned immediately by the PerkinElmer Scan array Gx Microarray scanner. The Scan array software (PerkinElmer) was used for grid wise normalization of array images. Five arrays were used with at least two biological treatments of cells, and dye-swap experiments were included in the final analysis. The data was analysed by GeneSpring GX and Biointerpreter software from Genotypic Technology, Bangalore. The differential expression was considered if the Log 2 mean of at least -1 for the downregulated genes and +1 for the upregulated genes. We considered only the genes that were reproducible from all five replicates.

Project description:Intracellular Ca2+ release through the Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate Receptor (InsP3R) is a feature of all multicellular organisms in which it shapes the temporal and spatial aspects of calcium signaling in cells, affecting several developmental and physiological processes. Mutants in the InsP3R gene of Drosophila (itpr) exhibit a range of defects which include growth defects and larval lethality.The Drosophila Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are encoded by multigene families that are expressed in the brain and other tissues. Upon secretion, these peptides likely serve as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. In Drosophila melanogaster, molecular genetic studies have revealed Drosophila ILPs as elements of a conserved insulin signaling pathway, and as in other animal models, it appears to play a key role in metabolism, growth, reproduction, and aging. Previous work from our group has shown that InsP3R function can be rescued by ectopically expressing InsP3R in dilp cells or can be compensated by altering the activity of Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium-ATPase (SERCA). To understand the molecular basis of larval lethality and growth defect in Drosophila InsP3R mutants and to decipher possible cross talk of itpr gene with other signaling pathways we have carried out genome wide microarray experiments. We have compared the transcript profiles of i) itpr mutant larvae and wild type larvae, ii) dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae iii) itpr and SERCA double mutant larvae with itpr mutant larvae. By this we have identified genes whose levels are altered in itpr mutants and are restored towards wild type in dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae and itpr and SERCA double mutants. Our experiments help in identify genes that are regulated by changes in intracellular Ca2+ in the context of larval viability may contribute to the better understanding of the major human pathologies caused by calcium misbalance or by dysregulation of the insulin/IGF pathway. The 8x60k array AMADID: 27326 slide was scanned immediately by PerkinElmer Scan array Gx Microarray scanner. The Scan array software (PerkinElmer) was used for grid wise normalization of array images. Three were used with Mutant, three for Dilp Rescue and two for Kum Rescue experiments . The data was analysed by GeneSpring GX Agilent . The differential expression was considered if the Log 2 mean of at least -1 for the down regulated genes and +1 for the upregulated genes. We considered only the genes that were reproducible from biological triplicates for Mutant, biological treplicates for Dilp Rescue and biological duplicates for Kum Rescue.

Project description:Salmonella is an important enteric pathogen that causes a spectrum of diseases varying from mild gastroenteritis to life threatening typhoid fever. Salmonella does not have lac operon. However, E. Coli, Salmonellaâs close relative, has lac operon. Being an enteric pathogen like E. coli, Salmonella will also benefit from lac operon. Then, why Salmonella has lost lac operon?. To address this question, lacI, an important component of lac operon was expressed in Salmonella via pTrc99A plasmid. As a control, pTrc99A without lacI was also expressed in Salmonella. The effect of LacI on the transcription profile of Salmonella was analyzed using microarray technique. Overall design The total RNA was isolated from Salmonella using âRNeasy Mini Kitâ (QIAGEN). Organism used: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 * Slides: Agilentâs arrays (8x15k) AMADID: NO: 17809 * Starting material: Salmonella RNA in nuclease-free water * RNA Samples used: Wild type (WT), WT + pTrc99A+LacI (PTRC), WT + pTrc99A-LacI(Delta lac) * Labeling kit: MessageAmpâ¢ II-Bacteria RNA Amplification Kit from Ambion Cat # AM1790 * Labeling Method: T7 promoter based-linear amplification to generate labeled complementary RNA * Total RNA and cRNA Purification Kit: Qiagenâs RNeasy minikit Cat#74104 * Hybridization Kit: Agilentâs In situ Hybridzation kit 5184-3568 * RNA quality was checked using Bioanalyzer. The array slides were scanned immediately by PerkinElmer Scan array Gx Microarray scanner. The Scan array software (PerkinElmer) was used for grid wise normalization of array images. Two arrays were used with mutant and rescue experiments and dye swap experiments were included in the final analysis. The data was analysed by GeneSpring GX and Biointerpreter software from Genotypic Technology, Bangalore.

Project description:We previously showed that increased expression of the principal sigma factor, SigA, mediates the capacity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 210 strains to grow more rapidly in human monocytes, compared to other strains. To identify SigA-regulated genes that favor intracellular mycobacterial growth, we used microarray analysis to compare gene expression between a recombinant M. tuberculosis 210 strain bearing a sense sigA construct and a vector control during growth in MonoMac6 cells. The most strongly upregulated gene in the sense sigA transformant was Rv2416c, which has previously been shown to enhance intracellular survival of M. smegmatis, and has been designated as eis. Real-time PCR confirmed marked upregulation of eis mRNA by the intracellular sense sigA transformant, and lysates of this transformant contained high concentrations of the Eis protein. Chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that SigA bound the eis promoter region in live bacteria. Deletion of the eis gene reduced growth of M. tuberculosis in macrophages, and complementation of eis reversed this effect. We conclude that SigA regulates eis expression, which in turn contributes to the enhanced capacity of the M. tuberculosis 210 strain to grow in human macrophages. The M. tuberculosis DNA microarray consisted of 4,295 70-mer oligonucleotides representing the 3,924 predicted open reading frames of the H37Rv strain (http://www.sanger.ac.uk) and 371 probes designed to detect sequences in the CDC1551 strain (http://www.tigr.org). The arrays were prepared by spotting oligonucleotides (Tuberculosis Genome set version 1.0, Operon Biotechnologies) onto poly-L-lysine coated glass microscope slides, as described (Pang et al., 2007). Total RNA from two independent experiments was prepared from M. tuberculosis harvested from infected MonoMac6 cells, as described above. cDNA synthesis, labeling, hybridization, scanning, image acquisition and normalization were performed, as described (Pang et al., 2007), and for each experiment, a dye flip was performed. Data were filtered by removing all spots that were below the background noise or flagged as âbadâ. Spots were considered to be below the background noise if the sum of the median intensities of the two channels was less than twice the highest mean background of the chip. The ratio of the average median intensity of Cy5 over the average median intensity of Cy3 was determined for each spot and the fold change values were calculated. Expression changes were considered significant if there was at least a 2-fold or higher change in expression between TB294-pSigA and TB294-pCV in three of the four array experiments.
