Lp16-PSP, a Member of YjgF/YER057c/UK114 Protein Family Induces Apoptosis and p21WAF1/CIP1 Mediated G1 Cell Cycle Arrest in Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) HL-60 Cells

ABSTRACT: Lp16-PSP (Latcripin 16-Perchloric acid Soluble Protein) from Lentinula edodes strain C91-3 has been reported previously in our laboratory to have selective cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cell lines. Herein, we have used several parameters in order to characterize the Lp16-PSP-induced cell death using human acute promyeloid leukemia (HL-60) as a model cancer. The results of phase contrast microscopy, nuclear examination, DNA fragmentation detection and flow cytometry revealed that high doses of Lp16-PSP resulted in the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cells. The colorimetric assay showed the activation of caspase-8, -9, and -3 cascade highlighting the involvement of Fas/FasL-related pathway. Whereas, Western blot revealed the cleavage of caspase-3, increased expression of Bax, the release of cytochrome c and decreased expression of Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the intrinsic pathway might be involved in Lp16-PSP-induced apoptosis as well. Low doses of Lp16-PSP resulted in the anchorage-independent growth inhibition, induction of G1 phase arrest, accompanied by the increased expression of p21WAF1/CIP1, along with the decreased expression of cyclin D, E, and cdk6. In addition, Lp16-PSP resulted in constitutive translocation inhibition of transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) into the nucleus by decreasing the phosphorylation of I?B?. All these findings suggested Lp16-PSP as a potential agent against acute promyeloid leukemia; however, further investigations are ultimately needed.

Project description:The YjgF/YER057c/UK114 (Rid) is a protein family breadth conserved in all domains of life and includes the widely distributed archetypal RidA (YjgF) subfamily and seven other subfamilies (Rid1 to Rid7). Among these subfamilies, RidA is the only family to have been biochemically well characterized and is involved in the deamination of the reactive enamine/imine intermediates. In this study, we have characterized a protein of the Rid7 subfamily, named Rid7C, in Nonomuraea gerenzanensis, an actinomycete that is characterized by the presence of two types of RNA polymerases. This is due to the coexistence in its genome of two RNA polymerase (RNAP) β chain-encoding genes, rpoB(S) (the wild-type rpoB gene) and rpoB(R) (a specialist, mutant-type rpoB gene) that controls A40926 antibiotic production and a wide range of metabolic adaptive behaviors. Here, we found that expression of rpoB(R) is regulated posttranscriptionally by RNA processing in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of rpoB(R) mRNA and that the endoribonuclease activity of Rid7C is responsible for mRNA processing, thereby overseeing several tracts of morphological and biochemical differentiation. We also provide evidence that Rid7C may be associated with RNase P M1 RNA, although M1 RNA is not required for rpoB(R) mRNA processing in vitro, and that Rid7C endoribonuclease activity is inhibited by A40926, suggesting the existence of a negative feedback loop in A40926 production and a role of the endogenous synthesis of A40926 in the modulation of biochemical differentiation in this microorganism. IMPORTANCE The YjgF/YER057c/UK114 family includes many proteins with diverse functions involved in detoxification, RNA maturation, and control of mRNA translation. We found that Rid7C is an endoribonuclease that is involved in processing of rpoB(R) mRNA, coding for a specialized RNA polymerase beta subunit that oversees morphological differentiation and A40926 antibiotic production in Nonomuraea gerenzanensis. Rid7C-mediated processing promotes rpoB(R) mRNA translation and antibiotic production, while Rid7C endoribonuclease activity is inhibited by A40926, suggesting a role of the endogenous synthesis of A40926 in modulation of biochemical differentiation in this microorganism. Finally, we show that recombinant Rid7C copurified with M1 RNA (the RNA subunit of RNase P) from Escherichia coli extract, suggesting a functional interaction between Rid7C and M1 RNA activities.
