Lipolysis-Stimulated Lipoprotein Receptor Acts as Sensor to Regulate ApoE Release in Astrocytes.

ABSTRACT: Astroglia play an important role, providing de novo synthesized cholesterol to neurons in the form of ApoE-lipidated particles; disruption of this process can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. We recently reported that glia-specific suppression of the lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) gene leads to Alzheimer's disease-like memory deficits. Since LSR is an Apo-E lipoprotein receptor, our objective of this study was to determine the effect of LSR expression modulation on cholesterol and ApoE output in mouse astrocytes expressing human ApoE3. qPCR analysis showed that siRNA-mediated lsr knockdown significantly increased expression of the genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, secretion, and metabolism. Analysis of media and lipoprotein fractions showed increased cholesterol and lipidated ApoE output in HDL-like particles. Further, lsr expression could be upregulated when astrocytes were incubated 5 days in media containing high levels (two-fold) of lipoprotein, or after 8 h treatment with 1 µM LXR agonist T0901317 in lipoprotein-deficient media. In both conditions of increased lsr expression, the ApoE output was repressed or unchanged despite increased abca1 mRNA levels and cholesterol production. We conclude that LSR acts as a sensor of lipoprotein content in the medium and repressor of ApoE release, while ABCA1 drives cholesterol efflux, thereby potentially affecting cholesterol load, ApoE lipidation, and limiting cholesterol trafficking towards the neuron.

Project description:BackgroundEndometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy and patients with advanced and recurrent EC have a poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy is administered for those patients, the efficacy of current chemotherapy is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to develop novel therapeutic agents for EC. In this study, we focused on lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a membrane protein highly expressed in EC cells, and developed a chimeric chicken-mouse anti-LSR monoclonal antibody (mAb). This study investigated the antitumor effect of an anti-LSR mAb and the function of LSR in EC.MethodsWe examined the expression of LSR in 228 patients with EC using immunohistochemistry and divided them into two groups: high-LSR (n = 153) and low-LSR groups (n = 75). We developed a novel anti-LSR mAb and assessed its antitumor activity in an EC cell xenograft mouse model. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using protein expression data of EC samples. LSR-knockdown EC cell lines (HEC1 and HEC116) were generated by transfected with small interfering RNA and used for assays in vitro.ResultsHigh expression of LSR was associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio: 3.53, 95% confidence interval: 1.35-9.24, p = 0.01), advanced stage disease (p = 0.045), deep myometrial invasion (p = 0.045), and distant metastasis (p < 0.01). In EC with deep myometrial invasion, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 was highly expressed along with LSR. Anti-LSR mAb significantly inhibited the tumor growth in EC cell xenograft mouse model (tumor volume, 407.1 mm3 versus 726.3 mm3, p = 0.019). Pathway enrichment analysis identified the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway as a signaling pathway associated with LSR expression. Anti-LSR mAb suppressed the activity of MAPK in vivo. In vitro assays using EC cell lines demonstrated that LSR regulated cell proliferation, invasion, and migration through MAPK signaling, particularly MEK/ERK signaling and membrane-type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) and MMP2. Moreover, ERK1/2-knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and the expression of MT1-MMP and MMP2.ConclusionsOur results suggest that LSR contributes to tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis of EC through MAPK signaling. Anti-LSR mAb is a potential therapeutic agent for EC.

Project description:BackgroundTranslational exploration of bacterial toxins has come to the forefront of research given their potential as a chemotherapeutic tool. Studies in select tissues have demonstrated that Clostridium perfringens iota toxin binds to CD44 and lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) cell-surface proteins. We recently demonstrated that LSR expression correlates with estrogen receptor positive breast cancers and that LSR signaling directs aggressive, tumor-initiating cell behaviors. Herein, we identify the mechanisms of iota toxin cytotoxicity in a tissue-specific, breast cancer model with the ultimate goal of laying the foundation for using iota toxin as a targeted breast cancer therapy.MethodsIn vitro model systems were used to determine the cytotoxic effect of iota toxin on breast cancer intrinsic subtypes. The use of overexpression and knockdown technologies confirmed the roles of LSR and CD44 in regulating iota toxin endocytosis and induction of cell death. Lastly, cytotoxicity assays were used to demonstrate the effect of iota toxin on a validated set of tamoxifen resistant breast cancer cell lines.ResultsTreatment of 14 breast cancer cell lines revealed that LSR+/CD44- lines were highly sensitive, LSR+/CD44+ lines were slightly sensitive, and LSR-/CD44+ lines were resistant to iota cytotoxicity. Reduction in LSR expression resulted in a significant decrease in toxin sensitivity; however, overexpression of CD44 conveyed toxin resistance. CD44 overexpression was correlated with decreased toxin-stimulated lysosome formation and decreased cytosolic levels of iota toxin. These findings indicated that expression of CD44 drives iota toxin resistance through inhibition of endocytosis in breast cancer cells, a role not previously defined for CD44. Moreover, tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells exhibited robust expression of LSR and were highly sensitive to iota-induced cytotoxicity.ConclusionsCollectively, these data are the first to show that iota toxin has the potential to be an effective, targeted therapy for breast cancer.
