Processing Bodies Oscillate in Neuro 2A Cells.

ABSTRACT: Circadian rhythms are biological variables that oscillate with periods close to 24 h that are generated internally by biological clocks. Depending on the tissue/cell type, about 5-20% of genes are expressed rhythmically. Unexpectedly, the correlation between the oscillations of messengers and the proteins they encode is low. We hypothesize that these discrepancies could be because in certain phases of the circadian cycle some messengers could be translationally silenced and stored. Processing bodies (PBs) are membraneless organelles formed by ribonucleoprotein aggregates located in the cytoplasm. They contain silenced messengers and factors involved in mRNA processing. A previous work showed that the number of cells containing these mRNA granules varies when comparing two time-points in U2OS cell cultures and that these differences disappear when an essential clock gene is silenced. Here we evaluate whether PBs oscillate in Neuro2A cells. We analyzed in cell cultures synchronized with dexamethasone the variations in the number, the signal intensity of the markers used (GE-1/HEDLS and DDX6), and the area of PBs between 8 and 68 h post-synchronization. All three parameters oscillated with periods compatible with a circadian regulated process. The most robust rhythm was the number of PBs. These rhythms could be generated by oscillations in proteins that have been involved in the nucleation of these foci such as LSM1, TTP, and BRF1. The described phenomenon would allow to explain the differences observed in the temporal profiles of some messengers and their proteins and to understand how circadian clocks can control post-transcriptionally cellular functions.

Pax3 inhibits Neuro-2a cells proliferation and neurite outgrowth.

Project description:Pax3 and Pax7 are closely related transcription factors that are widely expressed in the developing nervous system and somites. During the normal development in the central nervous system (CNS), Pax3 and Pax7 are mainly expressed in the dorsal part of the neural tube. Further analysis revealed that Pax3 and Pax7 shared redundant functions in the spinal cord development. However, it is still unknown whether Pax3 and Pax7 play a role in neuronal differentiation. In this study, Pax3 and Pax7 genes were overexpressed in Neuro-2a, the mouse neuroblastoma cell line. CCK-8 and EdU assay results showed that overexpression of Pax3 inhibited cell viability and proliferation of Neuro-2a cells, whereas the overexpression of Pax7 had no significant difference on their cell viability and proliferation. Overexpression of Pax3 not only increased the percentage of cells in the S phase and G0/G1 phase, but also decreased that in the G2 phase. Moreover, the total neurite lengths of Neuro-2a cells were significantly shorter in Pax3 overexpressed group than those in negative control group and showed no significant difference between Pax7 overexpressed group and negative control group. These results suggested that Pax3 not only inhibited the cell viability and proliferation but also affected the cell cycle and the neurite outgrowth of Neuro-2a cells. RNA sequencing analysis showed up-regulated genes in Pax3 overexpressed group were involved in cell cycle machinery, which may reveal the potential mechanism of Neuro-2a cells proliferation.

Role of CD36 in Palmitic Acid Lipotoxicity in Neuro-2a Neuroblastoma Cells.

Project description:Elevated level of palmitic acid (PA), a long-chain saturated fatty acid (SFA), is lipotoxic to many different types of cells including Neuro-2a (N2a) neuroblastoma cells. CD36 is a multifunctional membrane glycoprotein that acts as a fatty acid translocase (FAT) facilitating the transport of long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) into cells, serves a fatty acid (FA) sensing function in areas including taste buds and the proximal gut, and acts as a scavenger receptor that binds to many ligands, including FAs, collagen, oxidized low-density lipoproteins, and anionic phospholipids. However, the involvement of CD36 in FA uptake and PA lipotoxicity in N2a cells remains unclear. In this study, we examined FA uptake in BSA- and PA-treated N2a cells and investigated the involvement of CD36 in FA uptake and PA lipotoxicity in N2a cells. Our data showed that PA treatment promoted FA uptake in N2a cells, and that treatment with sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO), a CD36 inhibitor, significantly decreased FA uptake in BSA- and PA-treated N2a cells, and ameliorated PA-induced decrease of cell viability, decrease of diploid cells, and increase of tetraploid cells. We also found that CD36 knockdown significantly decreased FA uptake in both BSA- and PA-treated cells as compared to their corresponding wild-type controls, and dramatically attenuated PA-induced cell cycle defects in N2a cells. Our data suggest that CD36 may play a critical role in FA uptake and PA lipotoxicity in N2a cells. CD36 may therefore represent a regulatory target against pathologies caused by excess FAs.

Complementary proteomics strategies capture an ataxin-1 interactome in Neuro-2a cells.

Project description:Ataxin-1 mutation, arising from a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract expansion, is the underlying genetic cause of the late-onset neurodegenerative disease Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). To identify protein partners of polyQ-ataxin-1 in neuronal cells under control or stress conditions, here we report our complementary proteomics strategies of proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) and affinity purification (via GFP-Trap pulldown) in Neuro-2a cells expressing epitope-tagged forms of ataxin-1[85Q]. These approaches allowed our enrichment of proximal proteins and interacting partners, respectively, with the subsequent protein identification performed by liquid chromatography-MS/MS. Background proteins, not dependent on the presence of the polyQ-ataxin-1 protein, were additionally defined by their endogenous biotinylation (for the BioID protocol) or by their non-specific interaction with GFP only (in the GFP-Trap protocol). All datasets were generated from biological replicates. Following the removal of the identified background proteins from the acquired protein lists, our experimental design has captured a comprehensive polyQ-ataxin-1 proximal and direct protein partners under normal and stress conditions. Data are available via ProteomeXchange, with identifier PXD010352.

RNAseq of wild type and GDF11-/- Neuro-2a cells

Project description:Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), is one of the members of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. We set out to unequivocally reveal the effect of endogenous GDF11 on biological process by adopting CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout strategy to specifically delete GDF11 gene in Neuro-2a cells. We analyze mRNA profiles of differentially genes in wild type (WT) and GDF11 knockout (GDF11-/-) Neuro-2a cells by using RNA-seq technology. The RNA-seq data reported here provide a fundamental materials and evidence for investigations of biological function of GDF11.

Role of cell surface vimentin in Chandipura virus replication in Neuro-2a cells.

Project description:The neurotropic behavior of Chandipura virus (CHPV) is partly understood in experimental animals. Under in vitro conditions, neuronal cells could be a useful tool to study the CHPV interaction with neuronal proteins. The information gathered from such studies will help to design the new therapeutics for CHPV infection. This study identified the surface vimentin protein involved in adsorption of CHPV on Neuro-2a cell line (mouse neuroblastoma cells). The decrease in CHPV infectivity to Neuro-2a cells was observed in the presence of recombinant vimentin or anti-vimentin antibody. Vimentin mRNA expression remains unaltered in CHPV infected Neuro-2a cells. Furthermore, in silico analysis predicted the residues in vimentin and CHPV glycoprotein (G); probably involved in cell-virus interactions. Overall, we conclude that surface vimentin in Neuro-2a cells interact with CHPV and facilitate the binding of CHPV to the cells; it could be acting as a co-receptor for the CHPV. Further investigation is necessary to confirm the exact role of vimentin in CHPV infection in neuronal cells.

Entry of a recombinant, full-length, atoxic tetanus neurotoxin into Neuro-2a cells.

Project description:Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) and botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) are clostridial neurotoxins (CNTs) responsible for the paralytic diseases tetanus and botulism, respectively. CNTs are AB toxins with an N-terminal zinc-metalloprotease light chain that is linked by a disulfide bond to a C-terminal heavy chain that includes a translocation domain and a receptor-binding domain (HCR). Current models predict that the HCR defines how CNTs enter and traffic in neurons. Recent studies implicate that domains outside the HCR contribute to CNT trafficking in neurons. In the current study, a recombinant, full-length TeNT derivative, TeNT(RY), was engineered to analyze TeNT cell entry. TeNT(RY) was atoxic in a mouse challenge model. Using Neuro-2a cells, a mouse neuroblastoma cell line, TeNT HCR (HCR/T) and TeNT(RY) were found to bind gangliosides with similar affinities and specificities, consistent with the HCR domain containing receptor binding function. Temporal studies showed that HCR/T and TeNT(RY) entered Neuro-2a cells slower than the HCR of BoNT/A (HCR/A), transferrin, and cholera toxin B. Intracellular localization showed that neither HCR/T nor TeNT(RY) localized with HCR/A or synaptic vesicle protein 2, the protein receptor for HCR/A. HCR/T and TeNT(RY) exhibited only partial intracellular colocalization, indicating that regions outside the HCR contribute to the intracellular TeNT trafficking. TeNT may require this complex functional entry organization to target neurons in the central nervous system.

Succinylation proteome analysis of Cd-exposed Neuro-2a cells

Project description:Cadmium is a neurotoxic compound which induces cognitive alterations similar to those produced by Alzheimer's disease (AD). Autophagic flux impairment is a hallmark in Cd-induced AD-like pathology. However, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In these study, Neuro-2a cells were exposed to different concentrations of Cd (1, 2, and 4 μM) for 72 h, and C57 mice (8 week) were orally administered Cd for 12 weeks. Chronic Cd exposure inhibited autophagosome-lysosome fusion and impaired lysosomal function, thereby contributing to defects in autophagic clearance and subsequently leading to APP accumulation and nerve cell death. Mechanistically, proteomic analysis coupled with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified the crucial key target molecule in Cd-impaired autophagic flux. Four-dimensional label-free succinylation quantitative proteomics were performed in Neuro-2a cells with and without 4 μM CdCl2 treatment for 72h. Then, vital molecules and crucial succinylation sites were identified. Moreover, the function and important role of the resulting molecule with crucial succinylation site were determined. These results may thus open an avenue for therapeutic intervention in chronic Cd-induced AD-like pathology.
