Investigation of energy metabolic dynamism in hyperthermia-resistant ovarian and uterine cancer cells under heat stress.

ABSTRACT: Despite progress in the use of hyperthermia in clinical practice, the thermosensitivity of cancer cells is poorly understood. In a previous study, we found that sensitivity to hyperthermia varied between ovarian and uterine cancer cell lines. Upon hyperthermia, glycolytic enzymes decreased in hyperthermia-resistant SKOV3 cells. However, the mechanisms of glycolysis inhibition and their relationship with thermoresistance remain to be explored. In this study, metabolomic analysis indicated the downregulation of glycolytic metabolites in SKOV3 cells after hyperthermia. Proteomic and pathway analyses predicted that the ubiquitin pathway was explicitly activated in resistant SKOV3 cells, compared with hyperthermia-sensitive A2780 cells, and STUB1, a ubiquitin ligase, potentially targeted PKM, a glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme. PKM is degraded via ubiquitination upon hyperthermia. Although glycolysis is inactivated by hyperthermia, ATP production is maintained. We observed that oxygen consumption and mitochondrial membrane potential were activated in SKOV3 cells but suppressed in A2780 cells. The activation of mitochondria could compensate for the loss of ATP production due to the suppression of glycolysis by hyperthermia. Although the physiological significance has not yet been elucidated, our results demonstrated that metabolomic adaptation from the Warburg effect to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation could contribute to thermoresistance in ovarian and uterine cancer cells.

Role of CTGF in Sensitivity to Hyperthermia in Ovarian and Uterine Cancers.

Project description:Even though hyperthermia is a promising treatment for cancer, the relationship between specific temperatures and clinical benefits and predictors of sensitivity of cancer to hyperthermia is poorly understood. Ovarian and uterine tumors have diverse hyperthermia sensitivities. Integrative analyses of the specific gene signatures and the differences in response to hyperthermia between hyperthermia-sensitive and -resistant cancer cells identified CTGF as a key regulator of sensitivity. CTGF silencing sensitized resistant cells to hyperthermia. CTGF small interfering RNA (siRNA) treatment also sensitized resistant cancers to localized hyperthermia induced by copper sulfide nanoparticles and near-infrared laser in orthotopic ovarian cancer models. CTGF silencing aggravated energy stress induced by hyperthermia and enhanced apoptosis of hyperthermia-resistant cancers.

Oxygen Consumption and Basal Metabolic Rate as Markers of Susceptibility to Malignant Hyperthermia and Heat Stroke.

Project description:Calsequestrin 1 (CASQ1) and Ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) are two of the main players in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. CASQ1-knockout mice and mice carrying a mutation in RYR1 (Y522S) linked to human malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) both suffer lethal hypermetabolic episodes when exposed to halothane (MHS crises) and to environmental heat (heat stroke, HS). The phenotype of Y522S is more severe than that of CASQ1-null mice. As MHS and HS are hypermetabolic responses, we studied the metabolism of adult CASQ1-null and Y522S mice using wild-type (WT) mice as controls. We found that CASQ1-null and Y522S mice have increased food consumption and higher core temperature at rest. By indirect calorimetry, we then verified that CASQ1-null and Y522S mice show an increased oxygen consumption and a lower respiratory quotient (RQ). The accelerated metabolism of CASQ1-null and Y522S mice was also accompanied with a reduction in body fat. Moreover, both mouse models displayed increased oxygen consumption and a higher core temperature during heat stress. The results collected suggest that metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, and body temperature at rest, all more elevated in Y522S than in CASQ1-null mice, could possibly be used as predictors of the level of susceptibility to hyperthermic crises of mice (and possibly humans).

Intra Peritoneal Chemo Hyperthermia (IPCH) : Cellular and Metabolic Consequences

Project description:Intra Peritoneal Chemo Hyperthermia (IPCH) is a recently validated option for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal or ovarian origin. This therapeutic program demonstrated a significant improvement of the late stages (i.e. carcinomatosis) of the disease. From a clinical point of view, within the first 24 hours after IPCH, patients undergo a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and therefore require to be monitored in an intensive care unit. From a metabolic perspective, preliminary data have been shown a significant "anaerobic style" disturbance of energetic metabolism, suggesting a deep cellular energetic deficit throughout IPCH process. Putative contradictory effects of IPCH, like the increase of chemotherapy-related cellular toxicity due to heat and on the other hand the initiation of a stress protein response (heat shock response) which helps to reduce the cell injuries, leads to conduct a research project on the underlying mechanisms: consequences, in terms of patient’s care and follow-up, are of high relevance. The primary goal is a multimodal assessment of the IPCH-related cell modifications: signaling pathways, apoptosis and antitumoral immune response. The assessment criteria include Heat shock protein expression (blood/cell ratio) compared to baseline values, apoptosis and immune response before/after IPCH. The scheduled sample size is 30 patients having an IPCH and 30 patients contraindicated per surgery.

Differential Expression of MicroRNAs in Mouse Liver under Aberrant Energy Metabolic Status

Project description:Despite years of effort, exact pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains obscure. To gain an insight into the regulatory roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in aberrant energy metabolic status and pathogenesis of NAFLD, we analyzed the expression of miRNAs in livers of ob/ob mice, streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic mice and normal C57BL/6 mice by miRNA microarray. Compared to normal C57BL/6 mice, ob/ob mice showed up-regulation of 8 miRNAs and down-regulation of 4 miRNAs in fatty livers. Up-regulation of miR-34a and down-regulation of miR-122 was found in livers of STZ-induced diabetic mice. These results demonstrate that distinct miRNAs are strongly dysregulated in NAFLD and hyperglycemia. Comparison between miRNA expressions in livers of ob/ob mice and STZ-administered mice further revealed up-regulation of 4 miRNAs and down-regulation of 2 miRNAs in livers of ob/ob mice, indicating that these miRNAs may represent a molecular signature of NAFLD. A distinctive miRNA expression pattern was identified in ob/ob mouse liver and hierarchical clustering of this pattern could clearly discriminate ob/ob mice from either normal C57BL/6 mice or STZ-administered mice. These findings suggest an important role of miRNAs in hepatic energy metabolism and implicate the participation of miRNAs in the pathophysiological processes of NAFLD. Keywords: disease state analysis In the present study, we analyzed the expression of miRNAs in livers of 10 ob/ob mice, 8 streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic mice and 8 normal control C57BL/6 mice by miRNA microarray.

Investigation of carbon and energy metabolic mechanism of mixotrophy in Chromochloris zofingiensis.

Project description:BackgroundMixotrophy can confer a higher growth rate than the sum of photoautotrophy and heterotrophy in many microalgal species. Thus, it has been applied to biodiesel production and wastewater utilization. However, its carbon and energy metabolic mechanism is currently poorly understood.ResultsTo elucidate underlying carbon and energy metabolic mechanism of mixotrophy, Chromochloris zofingiensis was employed in the present study. Photosynthesis and glucose metabolism were found to operate in a dynamic balance during mixotrophic cultivation, the enhancement of one led to the lowering of the other. Furthermore, compared with photoautotrophy, non-photochemical quenching and photorespiration, considered by many as energy dissipation processes, were significantly reduced under mixotrophy. Comparative transcriptome analysis suggested that the intermediates of glycolysis could directly enter the chloroplast and replace RuBisCO-fixed CO2 to provide carbon sources for chloroplast organic carbon metabolism under mixotrophy. Therefore, the photosynthesis rate-limiting enzyme, RuBisCO, was skipped, allowing for more efficient utilization of photoreaction-derived energy. Besides, compared with heterotrophy, photoreaction-derived ATP reduced the need for TCA-derived ATP, so the glucose decomposition was reduced, which led to higher biomass yield on glucose. Based on these results, a mixotrophic metabolic mechanism was identified.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that the intermediates of glycolysis could directly enter the chloroplast and replace RuBisCO-fixed CO2 to provide carbon for photosynthesis in mixotrophy. Therefore, the photosynthesis rate-limiting enzyme, RuBisCO, was skipped in mixotrophy, which could reduce energy waste of photosynthesis while promote cell growth. This finding provides a foundation for future studies on mixotrophic biomass production and photosynthetic metabolism.

Chemotherapy Sensitizes Therapy-Resistant Cells to Mild Hyperthermia by Suppressing Heat Shock Protein 27 Expression in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Project description:Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a clinically aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Conventional chemotherapeutics are generally able to shrink the tumor mass, but often fail to completely eradicate cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) that are responsible for high risk of relapse and frequent metastases. In this study, we examined thermal sensibility of CSCs, developed an approach that enabled concurrent elimination of both the bulk of cancer cells and CSCs, and investigated the underlying mechanism.Experimental Design: We designed a platform consisting of gold nanoparticle-coated porous silicon microparticle (AuPSM) that was also loaded with docetaxel micelles (mDTXs) to enable concurrent killing of the bulk of cancer cells by released mDTX and CSCs by mild hyperthermia upon stimulation of AuPSM with near infrared. In addition, we examined the role of heat shock proteins in sensitizing CSC killing. Finally, we applied mDTX-loaded AuPSM to treat mice with SUM159 and 4T1 orthotopic tumors and evaluated tumor growth and tumor metastasis.Results: MDA-MB-231 and SUM159 TNBC cells treated with mDTX-loaded AuPSM and mild hyperthermia displayed significantly reduced efficiencies in mammosphere formation than those treated with mDTX alone or mild hyperthermia alone. Combination treatment also completely inhibited SUM159 orthotopic tumor growth and 4T1 tumor metastasis. Mechanistically, DTX treatment suppressed expression of heat shock protein 27 in cancer cells including the CSCs, rendering cells sensitive to mild hyperthermia.Conclusions: Our results indicate that chemotherapy sensitizes CSC to mild hyperthermia. We have developed an effective therapeutic approach to eliminate therapy-resistant cells in TNBC. Clin Cancer Res; 24(19); 4900-12. ©2018 AACR.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals differential transcription in heat-resistant and heat-sensitive jujube cultivars under heat stress

Project description:Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an economically and agriculturally significant fruit crop and is widely cultivated throughout the world. Heat stress has recently become one of the major abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and productivity. However, there are few studies on the transcriptome profiling of jujube subjected to heat stress. In this study, we analyzed the physiological and transcriptomic changes of heat-resistant jujube cultivar ‘HR’ and heat-sensitive cultivar ‘HS’ caused by high temperature stress. We statistically determined 984, 1468, 1727 and 2098 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ‘HR’ and ‘HS’ after 0, 1, 3, 5 d of heat stress, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated that Aa great deal of heat-responsive genes were identified in these DEGs by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. It suggests the distinct molecular mechanism of jujube response to heat stress. Furthermore, we validated the expression profiles of 12 candidates using qRT-PCR to further confirm the accuracy of the RNA-seq data. These results will advance our knowledge of the genes involved in the complex regulatory networks of heat stress and provide genetic resources for further improving the heat tolerance in jujube.

Deep Proteomic Investigation of Metabolic Adaptation in Mycobacteria under Different Growth Conditions.

Project description:Understanding the complex mechanisms of mycobacterial pathophysiology and adaptive responses presents challenges that can hinder drug development. However, employing physiologically relevant conditions, such as those found in human macrophages or simulating physiological growth conditions, holds promise for more effective drug screening. A valuable tool in this pursuit is proteomics, which allows for a comprehensive analysis of adaptive responses. In our study, we focused on Mycobacterium smegmatis, a model organism closely related to the pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to investigate the impact of various carbon sources on mycobacterial growth. To facilitate this research, we developed a cost-effective, straightforward, and high-quality pipeline for proteome analysis and compared six different carbon source conditions. Additionally, we have created an online tool to present and analyze our data, making it easily accessible to the community. This user-friendly platform allows researchers and interested parties to explore and interpret the results effectively. Our findings shed light on mycobacterial adaptive physiology and present potential targets for drug development, contributing to the fight against tuberculosis.

Tropical bats counter heat by combining torpor with adaptive hyperthermia.

Project description:Many tropical mammals are vulnerable to heat because their water budget limits the use of evaporative cooling for heat compensation. Further increasing temperatures and aridity might consequently exceed their thermoregulatory capacities. Here, we describe two novel modes of torpor, a response usually associated with cold or resource bottlenecks, as efficient mechanisms to counter heat. We conducted a field study on the Malagasy bat Macronycteris commersoni resting in foliage during the hot season, unprotected from environmental extremes. On warm days, the bats alternated between remarkably short micro-torpor bouts and normal resting metabolism within a few minutes. On hot days, the bats extended their torpor bouts over the hottest time of the day while tolerating body temperatures up to 42.9°C. Adaptive hyperthermia combined with lowered metabolic heat production from torpor allows higher heat storage from the environment, negates the need for evaporative cooling and thus increases heat tolerance. However, it is a high-risk response as the torpid bats cannot defend body temperature if ambient temperature increases above a critical/lethal threshold. Torpor coupled with hyperthermia and micro-torpor bouts broaden our understanding of the basic principles of thermal physiology and demonstrate how mammals can perform near their upper thermal limits in an increasingly warmer world.
