Project description:Folate deficiency, arsenic exposure, and gamma-IR are known developmental toxicants and have carcinogenic effects. The mechanism by which IR is known, but the effect of arsenic or folate deficiency remains unclear. Their effect may be mediated by epigenetic alterations, leading to miRNA expression changes, and this experiment examined this hypothesis We used microarrays to detail the miRNA expression profiles of TK6 cells treated with 2 uM sodium arsenite for 6 days, folate-deficient media for 6 days, or 2.5 Gy IR exposure either acutely at 4 hours post exposure or long-term at 6 days post exposure, as well as requiste controls, all in biological triplicate. Keywords: exposure differences TK6, were cultured in standard RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) or folate-deficient RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen). Growth media was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin; dialyzed fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen) was added to the folate-deficient medium in order to eliminate folic acid in the serum. For controls, folate-deficiency, arsenic exposure, and 6-day ?-IR exposure groups, 106 cells were diluted into 50ml of appropriate growth media. For the 4-hour post-?-IR exposure group, 107 cells were diluted into 50ml of growth media. For the arsenic exposed group, sodium arsenite was added to the media to a concentration of 2 ?M. For the ?-IR exposure groups, cells were diluted and allowed to incubate for 4 hours prior to irradiation treatment, and were exposed at a dose rate of 86.76 rad/min to a final dose of 2.5 Gy using a Philips MGC-40 X-ray source. Following exposure, cells were returned to the incubator. After fours hours, the short-term post-??-IR exposure group was collected for RNA isolation, as well as a mock (control) group. All experimental and control conditions were performed in triplicate. For all other groups, cells were cultured for 6 days, with the media changed and renewed, with the appropriate treatment, on day 3.

Project description:Hypoxia results in the changes in expression of many genes, the majority of which are mediated via the transcriptional activity of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) complex. However, other mechanisms of gene regulation by hypoxia are likely and include control of mRNA stability, regulation of mRNA translation and regulation mediated by micrornas. The aim of this study is to identify microRNAs which expression is regulated by hypoxia. We chose the breast cancer line MCF7 for study as we had previously characterised the expression of the components of the HIF system in that cell line and undertaken an extensive study of the gene expression profile in response to hypoxia, a prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor dimethyloxalylglycine and HIF-1a isoform manipulations (Eldvidge. G.P. et al. (2006) JBC, vol. 281, 22, 15215-15226).

Project description:Defects in stress responses are important contributors in many chronic conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity-driven pathologies like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Specifically, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked with these pathologies and control of ER stress can ameliorate tissue damage. MicroRNAs have a critical role in regulating diverse stress responses including ER stress. Here we show that miR-494-3p plays a functional role during ER stress. ER stress inducers (tunicamycin and thapsigargin) robustly increase the expression of miR-494 in vitro in an ATF6 dependent manner. Surprisingly, miR-494 pretreatment dampens the induction and magnitude of ER stress in response to tunicamycin in endothelial cells. Conversely, inhibition of miR-494 increases ER stress de novo and amplifies the effects of ER stress inducers. Using Mass Spectrometry (TMT-MS) we identified many proteins that are downregulated by both tunicamycin and miR-494 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among these, we found 6 transcripts which harbor a putative miR-494 binding site. Our data indicates that ER stress driven miR-494 may act in a feedback inhibitory loop to dampen downstream ER stress signaling. We propose that RNA-based approaches targeting miR-494 or its targets may be attractive candidates for inhibiting ER stress dependent pathologies in human disease.

Project description:Next to genetic alterations, it is being recognized that the cellular environment also acts as a major determinant in onset and progression of disease. In cases where different cell types contribute to the final disease outcome, this imposes environmental challenges as different cell types likely differ in their extracellular dependencies. A number of skin diseases, including psoriasis is characterized by a combination of keratinocyte hyperproliferation and immune cell activation. Activation of immune cells involves increased glucose consumption thereby intrinsicly limiting glucose availability for other cell types. Thus, these type of skin diseases require metabolic adaptations that enable coexistence between hyperproliferative keratinocytes and activated immune cells in a nutrient-limited environment. Hsa-microRNA-31-5p (miR-31) is highly expressed in keratinocytes within the psoriatic skin. Here we show that miR-31 expression in keratinocytes is induced by limited glucose availability and enables increased survival of keratinocytes under limiting glucose conditions, by increasing glutamine metabolism. In addition, miR-31 induced glutamine metabolism results in secretion of specific metabolites (aspartate and glutamate) but also secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. We show that this miR-31-induced secretory phenotype is sufficient to induce Th17 cell differentiation, a hallmark of psoriasis. Inhibition of glutaminase (GLS) using CB-839 impedes miR31-induced metabolic rewiring and secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. Concordantly, pharmacological targeting of GLS alleviated psoriasis pathology in a mouse model of psoriasis. Together our data illustrate an emerging concept of metabolic interaction across cell compartments that characterizes disease development, which can be employed to design effective treatment options for disease, as shown here for psoriasis.

Project description:The involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer and their potential as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis and response to therapy is becoming increasingly appreciated. The etiology of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is predominantly associated with the synergistic effects of tobacco and alcohol use, as well as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, which embodies a distinct clinical and biological phenotype. We sought to examine whether the profile of miRNAs in HNSCC varies based on HPV status, and to identify specific miRNAs altered in head and neck carcinogenesis. Total RNA was isolated from 16 HNSCC fresh frozen primary tumors, 5 fresh frozen non-diseased head and neck epithelial tissues, and 2 HNSCC cell lines. The miRNA profile of 662 individual miRNAs in these tissues was examined by microarray. 18 miRNAs are significantly altered in their expression between normal tissues and HNSCC tumors and 5 miRNAs are identified as significantly differentially expressed between HPV-positive (HPV+) and HPV-negative (HPV-) tumors. A striking difference in expression pattern of miRNA was also observed between primary tissues and cell lines. These data suggest that the pattern of miRNA expression may be reflective of disease etiology, and may be useful in the realm of diagnostic biomarkers defining broadly responsive prevention and treatment strategies for HNSCC. These data also suggest that cultured tumor cell lines may be inappropriate for novel miRNA biomarker identification. Keywords: miRNA; Disease-state analysis Expression of 662 individual miRNA was assessed in16 HNSCC fresh frozen primary tumors, 5 fresh frozen non-diseased head and neck epithelial tissues, and 2 HNSCC cell lines were arrayed
