Cellular eIF2B subunit localization: implications for the integrated stress response and its control by small molecule drugs.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) is a G protein critical for translation. It is tightly regulated in the integrated stress response (ISR) via phosphorylation of eIF2? and the subsequent control of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B), a multisubunit guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Through studying the localization of eIF2B subunits, we identified cytoplasmic eIF2B bodies in mammalian cells. We highlight a relationship between body size and the eIF2B subunits localizing to them; larger bodies contain all subunits and smaller bodies contain predominantly catalytic subunits. eIF2 localizes to eIF2B bodies and shuttles within these bodies in a manner that correlates with eIF2B activity. On stress, eIF2?-P localizes predominately to larger bodies and results in a decreased shuttling of eIF2. Interestingly, drugs that inhibit the ISR can rescue eIF2 shuttling in a manner correlating to levels of eIF2?-P. In contrast, smaller bodies show increased eIF2 shuttling in response to stress, which is accompanied by the localization of eIF2B? to these bodies, suggesting the formation of a novel trimeric complex of eIF2B. This response is mimicked by ISR-inhibiting drugs, providing insight into their potential mechanism of action. This study provides evidence that the composition and function of mammalian eIF2B bodies are regulated by the ISR and the drugs that control it.

Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) is a G protein critical for translation. It is tightly regulated in the integrated stress response (ISR) via phosphorylation of eIF2α and the subsequent control of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B), a multisubunit guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Through studying the localization of eIF2B subunits, we identified cytoplasmic eIF2B bodies in mammalian cells. We highlight a relationship between body size and the eIF2B subunits localizing to them; large ...[more]

Project description:Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the present study, we identified novel biomarkers associated with the pathogenesis of NSCLC aiming to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for NSCLC. Methods: The microarray datasets of GSE18842, GSE30219, GSE31210, GSE32863 and GSE40791 from Gene Expression Omnibus database were downloaded. The differential expressed genes (DEGs) between NSCLC and normal samples were identified by limma package. The construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, module analysis and enrichment analysis were performed using bioinformatics tools. The expression and prognostic values of hub genes were validated by GEPIA database and real-time quantitative PCR. Based on these DEGs, the candidate small molecules for NSCLC were identified by the CMap database. Results: A total of 408 overlapping DEGs including 109 up-regulated and 296 down-regulated genes were identified; 300 nodes and 1283 interactions were obtained from the PPI network. The most significant biological process and pathway enrichment of DEGs were response to wounding and cell adhesion molecules, respectively. Six DEGs (PTTG1, TYMS, ECT2, COL1A1, SPP1 and CDCA5) which significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, were selected as hub genes according to the results of module analysis. The GEPIA database further confirmed that patients with higher expression levels of these hub genes experienced a shorter overall survival. Additionally, CMap predicted the 20 most significant small molecules as potential therapeutic drugs for NSCLC. DL-thiorphan was the most promising small molecule to reverse the NSCLC gene expression. Conclusions: Based on the gene expression profiles of 696 NSCLC samples and 237 normal samples, we first revealed that PTTG1, TYMS, ECT2, COL1A1, SPP1 and CDCA5 could act as the promising novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for NSCLC. Our work will contribute to clarifying the molecular mechanisms of NSCLC initiation and progression.
