The Role of Forkhead Box Class O3A and SIRT1 Gene Variants in Early-Onset Psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, which is characterized by a heightened immunological response. Although the immunogenetics of this chronic inflammatory disorder is poorly understood, its expression is known to be dependent on proinflammatory cytokines. It is known that two distinct subtypes of chronic plaque psoriasis: Early-onset psoriasis (EOP) before the age of 40 years and late-onset psoriasis after the age of 40 years. Forkhead box class O3A (FOXO3A) is a transcription factor, which plays an important role in cell-cycle regulation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and DNA repair. The silent information regulator (SIRT) is thought to have a role in skin disorders, including psoriasis, that are characterized by hyperproliferation and inflammation.The aim of this study was to investigate FOXO3A and SIRT1 gene polymorphisms in EOP.The study group consisted of 142 EOP patients and 123 unrelated healthy controls. FOXO3A polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. SIRT1 gene polymorphisms were determined by PCR-confronting two-pair primers methods.The FOXO3A rs4946936 and SIRT1 rs7069102 gene polymorphisms were positively correlated with EOP and disease severity. The GG genotype frequency of SIRT1 rs7069102 gene polymorphisms was increased in severe EOP. The CC frequency of FOXO3A rs4946936 was increased in EOP with nail disorders.The rs7069102 gene polymorphism of SIRT1 and rs4946936 polymorphism of FOXO3A are associated with early onset psoriasis; this may be responsible for increased keratinocyte proliferation in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and disease severity.

Project description:Objective:Hepcidin deficiency is known to cause body iron accumulation and bone microarchitecture defects, but the exact underlying mechanisms of hepcidin deficiency-induced bone loss remain unclear. Our objective was to understand the molecular mechanism of hepcidin deficiency-induced bone loss. Methods:The bone phenotypes of wild type (WT) and hepcidin knockout (Hepcidin-KO) mice were measured by microcomputed tomography. The osteoclastic marker of the bone was measured by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. The osteoblastic marker of the bone was measured by immunostaining of osteocalcin. Primary osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation was performed using bone marrow cells. The mature osteoclast was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, pit formation assay and relative gene expression. The mature osteoblast was determined by alkaline phosphatase activity, alkaline phosphatase staining, Alizarin Red staining and relative gene expression. The protein expression of ?-catenin, TCF4/TCF7L2 and Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) was measured by Western blot and their combination by co-immunoprecipitation. In vivo study was performed by tail vein administration of FOXO3a-RNAi using an adeno-associated virus in Hepcidin-KO mice. Results:We found that Hepcidin-KO mice exhibited iron accumulation and bone loss compared with WT mice. The osteoclastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages from Hepcidin-KO mice was not significantly different from that of bone marrow-derived macrophages from WT mice. However, the osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from Hepcidin-KO mice was obviously decreased compared with that of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from WT mice. Furthermore, it was confirmed in this study that upon hepcidin deficiency, ?-catenin, TCF4/TCF7L2 and FOXO3a expression in bone tissues was not altered, but ?-catenin combination with TCF4/TCF7L2 was strongly inhibited by ?-catenin combination with FOXO3a, indicating that the canonical Wnt/?-catenin pathway was affected. Tail vein administration of FOXO3a-RNAi using an adeno-associated virus in Hepcidin-KO mice resulted in bone mass recovery. Conclusion:These findings suggested that hepcidin deficiency might cause bone loss by interfering with the canonical Wnt/?-catenin pathway via FOXO3a, and FOXO3a inhibition would be a possible approach to treat hepcidin deficiency-induced bone loss. The translational potential of this article:Hepcidin deficiency, as well as iron accumulation, has been considered as a risk factor for osteoporosis. For this kind of osteoporosis, inhibition of FOXO3a either by neutralized antibody or AAV-mediated RNAi, represents an effective and promising method.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common type of malignant brain tumor. GBM is currently treated with temozolomide (TMZ), although patients often exhibit resistance to this agent. Although several mechanisms underlying the resistance of GBM to TMZ have been identified, the combination of these mechanisms is not sufficient to fully account for this phenomenon. Our previous study demonstrated that knocking down the Forkhead box protein O3a (FoxO3a) gene, a member of the FoxO subfamily of transcription factors, resulted in glioma cell sensitization to TMZ, accompanied by reduced levels of nuclear β-catenin. The aim of the present study was to specify how FoxO3a and β-catenin are implicated in glioma cell TMZ resistance. Using the U87 and U251 parental cell lines (also designated as sensitive cell lines) and corresponding resistant cell lines (U87-TR and U251-TR, generated by repeated TMZ treatments), coupled with a combined knockdown/overexpression strategy, it was revealed that FoxO3a or β-catenin overexpression in TMZ-treated U87 and U251 cells markedly increased cellular proliferation; co-expression of both FoxO3a and β-catenin resulted in the highest increase. Knockdown of either FoxO3a or β-catenin in U87-TR and U251-TR cells led to a significant decrease in cell viability, which was rescued by the re-expression of FoxO3a in FoxO3a-knockdown cells. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that, in U87-TR and U251-TR cells, FoxO3a knockdown significantly reduced the protein levels of matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)9, while overexpression of FoxO3a in U87 and U251 cells enhanced the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, concomitantly with an increase in MMP9 levels. Furthermore, MMP9 knockdown markedly reduced the levels of nuclear β-catenin. Collectively, the findings of the present study suggest that FoxO3a may regulate the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin by modulating MMP9 expression, thereby rendering glioblastoma cells resistant to TMZ, and may provide unique molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying the development of TMZ resistance in GBM.
