Overexpression of tumor suppressor protein OSCP1/NOR1 induces ER stress and apoptosis during development of Drosophila melanogaster.

ABSTRACT: OSCP1/NOR1 (organic solute carrier partner 1/oxidored-nitro domain-containing protein 1) is known as a transporter of various organic solutes into cells and also is reported to act as a tumor suppressor protein. Although overexpression of OSCP1 has been shown to play multiple roles in mammalian cell lines, its biological significance in living organisms is not fully understood. To explore the effects of OSCP1/NOR1 on development, we performed genetic studies in flies featuring overexpression of its Drosophila orthologue, dOSCP1. Overexpression of dOSCP1 in eye imaginal discs induced a rough eye phenotype in adult flies, likely resulting from a delay in S phase progression and induction of caspase-dependent apoptosis followed by compensatory proliferation. However, it did not appear to be involved in differentiation of R7 photoreceptor cells. We also found that overexpression of dOSCP1 caused endoplasmic reticulum stress in salivary gland cells. These results indicate that overexpression of dOSCP1 exerts effects on various biological processes during Drosophila development.

Project description:BackgroundTrichomonas vaginalis causes lesions on the cervicovaginal mucosa in women; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. We have investigated the involvement of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the induction of apoptosis by T. vaginalis and its molecular mechanisms in human cervical cancer SiHa cells.MethodsApoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ER stress response and Bcl-2 family protein expression were evaluated using immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide dye staining and western blotting.ResultsTrichomonas vaginalis induced mitochondrial ROS production, apoptosis, the ER stress response and mitochondrial dysfunction, such as MMP depolarization and an imbalance in Bcl-2 family proteins, in SiHa cells in a parasite burden- and infection time-dependent manner. Pretreatment with N-acetyl cysteine (ROS scavenger) or 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA; ER stress inhibitor) significantly alleviated apoptosis, mitochondrial ROS production, mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress response in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, T. vaginalis induced the phosphorylation of apoptosis signal regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) in SiHa cells, whereas 4-PBA or SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) pretreatment significantly attenuated ASK1/JNK phosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and ER stress response in SiHa cells, in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, T. vaginalis excretory/secretory products also induced mitochondrial ROS production, apoptosis and the ER stress response in SiHa cells, in a time-dependent manner.ConclusionsTrichomonas vaginalis induces apoptosis through mitochondrial ROS and ER stress responses, and also promotes ER stress-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis via the IRE1/ASK1/JNK/Bcl-2 family protein pathways in SiHa cells. These data suggest that T. vaginalis-induced apoptosis is affected by ROS and ER stress response via ER-mitochondria crosstalk.
