Fibroblast growth factor-1 interacts with the glucose-regulated protein GRP75/mortalin.

ABSTRACT: Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1), which lacks a signal peptide and is intracellularly localized as a result of endogenous expression or endocytosis, is thought to be involved in regulating cell growth and differentiation. In the study reported here, we purified proteins that bind intracellular FGF-1. Affinity adsorption was used to purify FGF-1-binding proteins from rat L6 cells expressing FGF-1. One of the isolated proteins was identified as the glucose-regulated protein GRP75/mortalin/PBP-74/mthsp70, a member of the hsp70 family of heat-shock proteins known to be involved in regulating glucose responses, antigen processing and cell mortality. The interaction of FGF-1 and GRP75/mortalin in vivo was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemical co-localization in Rat-1 fibroblasts and by using the yeast two-hybrid system. Moreover, a binding assay in vitro with the use of recombinant FGF-1 and mortalin demonstrated a direct physical interaction between the two proteins. These results reveal that GRP75/mortalin is an intracellular FGF-1-binding protein in cells and suggest that GRP75/mortalin is involved in the trafficking of and/or signalling by FGF-1.

Papillomavirus E2 protein is regulated by specific fibroblast growth factor receptors.

Project description:The papillomavirus (PV) E2 protein activates transcription and replication by recruiting cellular proteins and the E1 DNA helicase to their binding sites in the viral genome. We recently demonstrated that phosphorylation of tyrosine 102 in the bovine papillomavirus (BPV-1) E2 protein restricts these activities and that fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) tyrosine kinase binds PV E2. Expression of FGFR3 decreased viral replication with both wild-type and the phenylalanine substitution at position 102, inferring that another kinase targets Y102. Here we tested FGFR- 1, -2 and -4 for association with PV E2 proteins. FGFR2 but not FGFR1 or FGFR4 co-immunoprecipitated with BPV-1 E2. We found that FGFR2 suppressed replication but did not depend on phosphorylation of BPV-1 Y102. HPV-16 and -31 E2 interacted with FGFR1, -2, and -4. These results imply that the expression and activity of FGF receptors in epithelial cells can regulate the function of E2 in viral replication.

NoBP, a nuclear fibroblast growth factor 3 binding protein, is cell cycle regulated and promotes cell growth.

Project description:Secreted and nuclear forms of fibroblast growth factor 3 (FGF3) have opposing effects on cells. The secreted form stimulates cell growth and transformation, while the nuclear form inhibits DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. By using the yeast two-hybrid system we have identified a nucleolar FGF3 binding protein (NoBP) which coimmunoprecipitated and colocalized with FGF3 in transfected COS-1 cells. Characterization of the NoBP binding domain of FGF3 exactly matched the sequence requirements of FGF3 for its translocation into the nucleoli, suggesting that NoBP might be the nucleolar binding partner of FGF3 essential for its nucleolus localization. Carboxyl-terminal domains of NoBP contain linear nuclear and nucleolar targeting motifs which are capable of directing a heterologous protein beta-galactosidase to the nucleus and the nucleoli. While NoBP expression was detected in all analyzed proliferating established cell lines, NoBP transcription was rapidly downregulated in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 when induced to differentiate. Analysis on the expression pattern of NoBP mRNA throughout the cell cycle in HeLa cells synchronized by lovastatin demonstrated a substantial upregulation during the late G(1)/early S phase. NoBP overexpression conferred a proliferating effect onto NIH 3T3 cells and can counteract the inhibitory effect of nuclear FGF3, suggesting a role of NoBP in controlling proliferation in cells. We propose that NoBP is the functional target of nuclear FGF3 action.

An expandable, inducible hemangioblast state regulated by fibroblast growth factor.

Project description:During development, the hematopoietic and vascular lineages are thought to descend from common mesodermal progenitors called hemangioblasts. Here we identify six transcription factors, Gata2, Lmo2, Mycn, Pitx2, Sox17, and Tal1, that "trap" murine cells in a proliferative state and endow them with a hemangioblast potential. These "expandable" hemangioblasts (eHBs) are capable, once released from the control of the ectopic factors, to give rise to functional endothelial cells, multilineage hematopoietic cells, and smooth muscle cells. The eHBs can be derived from embryonic stem cells, from fetal liver cells, or poorly from fibroblasts. The eHBs reveal a central role for fibroblast growth factor, which not only promotes their expansion, but also facilitates their ability to give rise to endothelial cells and leukocytes, but not erythrocytes. This study serves as a demonstration that ephemeral progenitor states can be harnessed in vitro, enabling the creation of tractable progenitor cell lines.

Fibroblast Activation Protein Cleaves and Inactivates Fibroblast Growth Factor 21.

Project description:FGF21 is a stress-induced hormone with potent anti-obesity, insulin-sensitizing, and hepatoprotective properties. Although proteolytic cleavage of recombinant human FGF21 in preclinical species has been observed previously, the regulation of endogenously produced FGF21 is not well understood. Here we identify fibroblast activation protein (FAP) as the enzyme that cleaves and inactivates human FGF21. A selective chemical inhibitor, immunodepletion, or genetic deletion of Fap stabilized recombinant human FGF21 in serum. In addition, administration of a selective FAP inhibitor acutely increased circulating intact FGF21 levels in cynomolgus monkeys. On the basis of our findings, we propose selective FAP inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach to increase endogenous FGF21 activity for the treatment of obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and related metabolic disorders.

Glucose-Regulated Protein 94 (GRP94): A Novel Regulator of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Production.

Project description:Mammals have two insulin-like growth factors (IGF) that are key mediators of somatic growth, tissue differentiation, and cellular responses to stress. Thus, the mechanisms that regulate the bioavailability of IGFs are important in both normal and aberrant development. IGF-I levels are primarily controlled via the growth hormone-IGF axis, in response to nutritional status, and also reflect metabolic diseases and cancer. One mechanism that controls IGF bioavailablity is the binding of circulating IGF to a number of binding proteins that keep IGF in a stable, but receptor non-binding state. However, even before IGF is released from the cells that produce it, it undergoes an obligatory association with a ubiquitous chaperone protein, GRP94. This binding is required for secretion of a properly folded, mature IGF. This chapter reviews the known aspects of the interaction and highlights the specificity issues yet to be determined. The IGF-GRP94 interaction provides a potential novel mechanism of idiopathic short stature, involving the obligatory chaperone and not just IGF gene expression. It also provides a novel target for cancer treatment, as GRP94 activity can be either inhibited or enhanced.

Mortalin/glucose-regulated protein 75 promotes the cisplatin-resistance of gastric cancer via regulating anti-oxidation/apoptosis and metabolic reprogramming.

Project description:Platinum drug treatment is one of the most predominant chemotherapeutic strategies for patients with gastric cancer (GC). However, the therapeutic effect is less than satisfactory, largely due to the acquired resistance to platinum drugs. Therefore, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms can greatly improve the therapeutic efficacy of GC. In this study, we aimed to investigate the chemo-resistance related functions/mechanisms and clinical significance of glucose-regulated protein 75 (GRP75) in GC. Here, our data showed that compared with SGC7901 cells, the expression of GRP75 was markedly higher in cisplatin-resistance cells (SGC7901CR). Knockdown of GRP75 abolished the maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and inhibited the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2), phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT), hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and c-myc, which resulted in blocking the activation of their downstream targets. These processes attenuated the anti-oxidation/apoptosis abilities and altered the metabolic reprogramming in SGC7901CR cells, leading to re-sensitizing these cells to cisplatin. However, overexpression of GRP75 in SGC7901 cells caused the opposite effects. A xenografts model confirmed the abovementioned results. In GC patients receiving platinum chemotherapy and a meta-analysis, a high level of GRP75 was positively associated with aggressive characteristics and poor prognosis including but not limited to gastrointestinal cancers, and was an independent predictor for overall survival. Collectively, our study indicated that GRP75 was involved in the cisplatin-resistance of GC and that GRP75 could be a potential therapeutic target for restoring the drug response in platinum-resistance cells and a useful additive prognostic tool in guiding clinical management of GC patients.

Inflammatory response of microglial BV-2 cells includes a glycolytic shift and is modulated by mitochondrial glucose-regulated protein 75/mortalin.

Project description:Recent studies suggest a link between mitochondria and proinflammatory cytokine generation. We previously demonstrated that overexpression of mitochondrial chaperone glucose-regulated protein75 (Grp75/mortalin) protects mitochondria. In this study we investigated the modulation of the lipopolisaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response of microglial BV-2 cells by Grp75. We demonstrate that LPS-induced activation promotes significant metabolic changes suppressing mitochondrial function and increasing glycolysis. Overexpression of Grp75 attenuates the LPS-induced oxidative and metabolic responses, and suppresses proinflammatory activation, which depends on both NF-?B activation and lactate. Thus overexpression of Grp75 provides a novel strategy to modulate proinflammatory cytokine production of relevance to inflammation-associated pathologies.

Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 Interacts with Zika Virus Envelope Protein and Contributes to a Productive Infection.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV; Flaviviridae) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus shown to cause fetal abnormalities collectively known as congenital Zika syndrome and Guillain-Barré syndrome in recent outbreaks. Currently, there is no specific treatment or vaccine available, and more effort is needed to identify cellular factors in the viral life cycle. Here, we investigated interactors of ZIKV envelope (E) protein by combining protein pull-down with mass spectrometry. We found that E interacts with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident chaperone, glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78). Although other flaviviruses are known to co-opt ER resident proteins, including GRP78, to enhance viral infectivity, the role ER proteins play during the ZIKV life cycle is yet to be elucidated. We showed that GRP78 levels increased during ZIKV infection and localised to sites coincident with ZIKV E staining. Depletion of GRP78 using specific siRNAs significantly reduced reporter-virus luciferase readings, viral protein synthesis, and viral titres. Additionally, GRP78 depletion reduced the ability of ZIKV to disrupt host cell translation and altered the localisation of viral replication factories, though there was no effect on viral RNA synthesis. In summary, we showed GRP78 is a vital host-factor during ZIKV infection, which may be involved in the coordination of viral replication factories.

Smad7 Protein Interacts with Receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads) to Inhibit Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad Signaling.

Project description:TGF-β is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates a wide range of cellular actions and pathophysiological processes. TGF-β signaling is spatiotemporally fine-tuned. As a key negative regulator of TGF-β signaling, Smad7 exerts its inhibitory effects by blocking receptor activity, inducing receptor degradation or interfering with Smad-DNA binding. However, the functions and the molecular mechanisms underlying the actions of Smad7 in TGF-β signaling are still not fully understood. In this study we report a novel mechanism whereby Smad7 antagonizes TGF-β signaling at the Smad level. Smad7 oligomerized with R-Smad proteins upon TGF-β signaling and directly inhibited R-Smad activity, as assessed by Gal4-luciferase reporter assays. Mechanistically, Smad7 competes with Smad4 to associate with R-Smads and recruits the E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L to activated R-Smads, leading to their polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Similar to the R-Smad-Smad4 oligomerization, the interaction between R-Smads and Smad7 is mediated by their mad homology 2 (MH2) domains. A positive-charged basic region including the L3/β8 loop-strand module and adjacent amino acids in the MH2 domain of Smad7 is essential for the interaction. These results shed new light on the regulation of TGF-β signaling by Smad7.

Conversion of a paracrine fibroblast growth factor into an endocrine fibroblast growth factor.

Project description:FGFs 19, 21, and 23 are hormones that regulate in a Klotho co-receptor-dependent fashion major metabolic processes such as glucose and lipid metabolism (FGF21) and phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis (FGF23). The role of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan in the formation of the cell surface signaling complex of endocrine FGFs has remained unclear. Here we show that heparan sulfate is not a component of the signal transduction unit of FGF19 and FGF23. In support of our model, we convert a paracrine FGF into an endocrine ligand by diminishing heparan sulfate-binding affinity of the paracrine FGF and substituting its C-terminal tail for that of an endocrine FGF containing the Klotho co-receptor-binding site to home the ligand into the target tissue. In addition to serving as a proof of concept, the ligand conversion provides a novel strategy for engineering endocrine FGF-like molecules for the treatment of metabolic disorders, including global epidemics such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
