Project description:Identified a series of miRNAs transcriptionally regulated by vitamin D treatment within osteoblasts. Several miRNAs were validated in dose escalation experiments. Furthermore, downstream miRNA targets were appraised and found to regulate target message and protein levels. These findings were assessed in early and late passaged osteoblasts and found an age-dependent regulation of some miRNAs, while others were considered constituitiously expressed. Inhibitor studies of one key bone-related miRNA demonstrated the importance of this miRNA to regulate vitamin D-mediate osteoblastic differentiation during mineralizaition.

Project description:A role for vitamin A in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been suggested through epidemiological and in vitro studies; however, the antimicrobial mechanism is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that vitamin A mediates host defense through regulation of cellular cholesterol content. Comparison of monocytes stimulated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the biologically active forms of vitamin A and vitamin D respectively, indicates that ATRA and 1,25D3 induce mechanistically distinct antimicrobial activities. Gene expression profiling reveals that ATRA but not 1,25D3 triggers a lipid metabolism and efflux pathway, including expression of lysosomal lipid transport gene NPC2. ATRA-induced decrease in total cellular cholesterol content, subcellular lipid reorganization, lysosomal acidification and antimicrobial activity are all dependent upon expression of NPC2. Finally, the addition of HIV-protease inhibitors known to inhibit cholesterol efflux, Ritonavir and Nelfinavir, blocked both ATRA-induced cholesterol decrease as well as antimicrobial activity. Taken together, these results suggest that the vitamin A-mediated host defense mechanism against M. tuberculosis requires regulation of cellular cholesterol. Monocytes derived from four independent healthy blood donors that were stimulated with control (CTRL), ATRA or 1,25D3 at 10-8M for 18 hours.

Project description:Most prostate cancers depend on androgen and androgen receptor signaling for their proliferation and development, which underpins the efficacy of antiandrogens as powerful therapeutic agents for prostate cancers. On the other hand, interaction between AR and other nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) such as glucocorticoid receptor in the prostatic cancer or between AR and ER in breast cancers depicts the close association or “crosstalk” of AR with other NRs in terms of the new approach toward the management of hormone-resistant prostate/breast cancers. Along with this line, chemopreventive and antiproliferative action of 1,25(OH)2D3 (abbreviated as 1,25D3), an active metabolite of vitamin D3, during the management of prostate and/or breast cancers has been recently rigorously argued. We found that in its physiological concentration, 25(OH)D3 (abbreviated as 25D3), the precursor metabolite of 1,25D3 and widely-recognized as an inactive vitamin D because of its much weaker binding activity to vitamin D receptor (VDR) compared to 1,25D3, has a gene transcription profile similar to 1,25D3 in some prostate cancers. In this study, we investigated whole genome target gene profiles and intracellular behaviors of VDR after administration of 25D3 or 1,25D3 in prostate cancer LNCaP cells to elucidate the hormonal activity of 25D3. First, we confirmed that LNCaP cells possessed functional 25D3-VDR as well as 1,25D3-VDR signaling systems by qRT-PCR. By immunofluorescent examination of nuclear translocation, western blotting and most importantly, knockdown of CYP27B1 and/or VDR after the introduction of the respective siRNA into these cells, we found that, just like 1,25D3, 10-7 M of 25D3, which is within its uppermost physiological concentrations in the bloodstream, induced VDR nuclear import and robustly activated its target gene such as CYP24A1 in the virtual absence of CYP27B1 expression in LNCaP cells. These results indicate that the unconverted 25D3 alone behaved similarly to 1,25D3 in activating CYP24A1 mRNA expression. Our comprehensive microarray analyses verified the bioactivity of 25D3 and we found that 25D3 target gene profiles largely matched those of 1,25D3, while the presence a small subset of 25D3-, or 1,25D3-specific target genes were not excluded. The concentration of 1,25D3 in the culture media after 25D3 treatment with or without siRNA for CYP27B1 mRNA was below the lower limit of the sensitivity measured by ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS method. These results indicated that 25D3 shares bioactivity with 1,25D3 without conversion to the latter at least in some prostate cancer cells.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-protein-coding RNAs that are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and inhibit gene expression by regulating the stability and/or the translational efficiency of target mRNAs. miR-210 can be considered a master miRNA of hypoxic response and is currently regarded as a promising novel non-invasive tumor hypoxia marker. The targets identified to date indicate that miR-210 plays a role in cell cycle regulation, differentiation, mitochondrial metabolism repression, DNA repair and apoptosis. In order to identify miRNAs sub-sequentely modulated by miR-210, miRNA expression profiles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) over-expressing miR-210 were generated, allowing the identification of miRNAs modulated upon miR-210 up-regulation. HUVEC over-expressing pre-miR-210 or a scramble sequence were generated by retroviral infection, yielding a selected population that expressed mature miR-210 levels comparable with those observed in hypoxic cells. miRNA expression profiles were then measured and miRNAs modulated upon miR-210 up-regulation were identified. This Sample represents four hybridizations - one of which was a dye-swap.

Project description:Vitamin D (VD) exerts a wide variety of biological functions including calcemic activity. VD nutritional status is closely associated with the onset and development of chronic diseases. To develop a VD analog with the desired VD activity but without calcemic activity, we screened synthetic VDR antagonists. We identified DLAM-2b as a VDR ligand in a competitive VDR binding assay for 1α,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (1,25D3), and DLAM-2b showed an antagonistic effect on 1,25D3-induced cell differentiation in HL60 cells. In a luciferase reporter assay in which human VDR was exogenously expressed in cultured COS1 cells, DLAM-2b acted as a transcriptional antagonist. Consistently, DLAM-2b had an antagonistic effect on the 1,25D3-induced expression of a known VD target gene (CYP24A1), and VDR-bound DLAM-2b was recruited to an endogenous VD response element in chromatin in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and human colon cancer cells (HCT116) endogenously expressing VDR. In an ATAC-seq assay, the effects of 1,25D3 and DLAM-2b on chromatin reorganization were undetectable in HCT116 cells, while the effect of an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist (bicalutamide) was confirmed in prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) expressing endogenous AR. However, whole genome analysis using RNA-seq and ATAC-seq revealed differential gene expression profiles regulated by DLAM-2b versus 1,25D3. The upregulated and downregulated genes only partially overlapped between cells treated with 1,25D3 and those treated with DLAM-2b. Thus, the present findings illustrate a novel VDR ligand with gene regulatory activity differing from that of 1,25D3.

Project description:Description of the global expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and proteins in healthy human term placentas may increase our knowledge of molecular biological pathways that are important for normal fetal growth and development in term pregnancy. The aim of this study was to explore the global expression of miRNAs and proteins, and to point out functions of importance in healthy term placentas. Placental samples (n = 19) were identified in a local biobank. All samples were from uncomplicated term pregnancies with vaginal births and healthy, normal weight newborns. Next-generation sequencing and nano-scale liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyse miRNA and protein expression, respectively. A total of 895 mature miRNAs and 6,523 proteins were detected in the placentas, of which 123 miRNAs and 346 proteins were highly abundant. The miRNAs were in high degree mapped to chromosomes 19, 14 and X. Analysis of the highly abundant miRNAs and proteins showed several significantly predicted functions in common, including immune and inflammatory response, lipid metabolism and development of the nervous system. The predicted function inflammatory response may reflect normal vaginal delivery, while lipid metabolism and neurodevelopment may be important processes for the term fetus. The data presented in this study, including supplementary information with complete miRNA and protein findings, will enhance the knowledge base for future research in the field of placental function and pathology.

Project description:Inflammatory signals must be regulated and kept in check in order to prevent tissue damage. This is especially true in the cornea, where damage can induce loss of transparency, essential for vision. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are present at the ocular surface and, in addition to being protective against infection, have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of dry eye syndrome, an inflammatory condition that affects millions of individuals in the United States each year. Therefore, an important area of research is the development of new anti-inflammatory therapeutics that limit aberrant ocular surface inflammation. Vitamin D has been studied for its role in suppressing inflammation in other tissues. In previous studies, we have demonstrated that vitamin D is able to decrease proinflammatory mediators induced by TLRs in human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC). Therefore, the goal of the current study was to examine this mechanism further through an evaluation of vitamin Dâs influence on gene expression in two different HCEC cell lines. Microarray comparing hTCEpi, human corneal epithelial cells, treated for 6 hours with Vitamin D (1,25D3) and control (0.1% ethanol) Two-condition arrays: hTCEpi cells were treated with either 100nM 1,25D3 or 0.1% Ethanol for 6h. Two biological replicates, one per array, with a dye swap (technical replicate).
