Lamin B1 fluctuations have differential effects on cellular proliferation and senescence.

ABSTRACT: The nuclear lamina consists of A- and B-type lamins. Mutations in LMNA cause many human diseases, including progeria, a premature aging syndrome, whereas LMNB1 duplication causes adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD). LMNB1 is reduced in cells from progeria patients, but the significance of this reduction is unclear. In this paper, we show that LMNB1 protein levels decline in senescent human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes, mediated by reduced transcription and inhibition of LMNB1 messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) translation by miRNA-23a. This reduction is also observed in chronologically aged human skin tissue. To determine whether altered LMNB1 levels cause senescence, we either increased or reduced LMNB1. Both LMNB1 depletion and overexpression inhibited proliferation, but only LMNB1 overexpression induced senescence, which was prevented by telomerase expression or inactivation of p53. This phenotype was exacerbated by a simultaneous reduction of LMNA/C. Our results demonstrate that altering LMNB1 levels inhibits proliferation and are relevant to understanding the molecular pathology of ADLD.

Loss of lamin B1 is a biomarker to quantify cellular senescence in photoaged skin.

Project description:Skin ageing is an inevitable consequence of life and accelerated by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Senescence is an irreversible growth arrest and senescent cells accumulate in ageing tissues, at sites of age-related pathologies and in pre-neoplastic lesions. Conventionally, senescent cells have been detected by senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, a procedure that requires enzymatic activity, which is lost in fixed tissue samples. We previously demonstrated that loss of lamin B1 is a novel marker to identify senescent cells. Here, we demonstrate that loss of lamin B1 facilitates the detection and quantification of senescent cells upon UV-exposure in vitro and upon chronic UV-exposure and skin regeneration in vivo. Taken together, this marker enables the study of environmental conditions on tissue ageing and regeneration in vivo, serves as a diagnostic tool to distinguish senescent from proliferating cells in pre-neoplastic lesions, and facilitates investigating the role of senescent cells in various age-related pathologies.

Lamin B1 loss is a senescence-associated biomarker.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a potent tumor-suppressive mechanism that arrests cell proliferation and has been linked to aging. However, studies of senescence have been impeded by the lack of simple, exclusive biomarkers of the senescent state. Senescent cells develop characteristic morphological changes, which include enlarged and often irregular nuclei and chromatin reorganization. Because alterations to the nuclear lamina can affect both nuclear morphology and gene expression, we examined the nuclear lamina of senescent cells. We show here than lamin B1 is lost from primary human and murine cell strains when they are induced to senesce by DNA damage, replicative exhaustion, or oncogene expression. Lamin B1 loss did not depend on the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor-?B, ataxia telangiectasia-mutated kinase, or reactive oxygen species signaling pathways, which are positive regulators of senescent phenotypes. However, activation of either the p53 or pRB tumor suppressor pathway was sufficient to induce lamin B1 loss. Lamin B1 declined at the mRNA level via a decrease in mRNA stability rather than by the caspase-mediated degradation seen during apoptosis. Last, lamin B1 protein and mRNA declined in mouse tissue after senescence was induced by irradiation. Our findings suggest that lamin B1 loss can serve as biomarker of senescence both in culture and in vivo.

PQBP3 prevents senescence by suppressing PSME3-mediated proteasomal Lamin B1 degradation

Project description:Senescence of nondividing neurons remains an immature concept, with especially the regulatory molecular mechanisms of senescence-like phenotypes and the role of proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases in triggering neuronal senescence remaining poorly explored. In this study, we reveal that the nucleolar polyglutamine binding protein 3 (PQBP3; also termed NOL7), which has been linked to polyQ neurodegenerative diseases, regulates senescence as a gatekeeper of cytoplasmic DNA leakage. PQBP3 directly binds PSME3 (proteasome activator complex subunit 3), a subunit of the 11S proteasome regulator complex, decreasing PSME3 interaction with Lamin B1 and thereby preventing Lamin B1 degradation and senescence. Depletion of endogenous PQBP3 causes nuclear membrane instability and release of genomic DNA from the nucleus to the cytosol. Among multiple tested polyQ proteins, ataxin-1 (ATXN1) partially sequesters PQBP3 to inclusion bodies, reducing nucleolar PQBP3 levels. Consistently, knock-in mice expressing mutant Atxn1 exhibit decreased nuclear PQBP3 and a senescence phenotype in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. Collectively, these results suggest homologous roles of the nucleolar protein PQBP3 in cellular senescence and neurodegeneration.

Lamin-B1 is a senescence-associated biomarker in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a von-Hippel-Lindau gene (VHL) associated tumor disease. In addition to activating the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) dependent oxygen-sensing pathway, VHL loss also has an impact on a HIF-independent senescence program which functions as a tumorigenesis barrier. Lamin-B1 is a nuclear intermediate filament protein that exhibits effects on chromatin structure and gene expression and acts as a senescence effector. In the present study, the expression and prognostic relevance of Lamin-B1 in a large cohort of ccRCC patients was examined and the report presents initial functional data on possible therapeutic implications. The expression of Lamin-B1 was measured by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray containing tumor tissue samples from 763 ccRCC patients. Chi-squared tests, Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models were used to investigate the possible association between Lamin-B1 expression, clinical and pathological characteristics and patient survival. High Lamin-B1 expression was associated with poor clinical outcomes and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that Lamin-B1 was an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival. Furthermore in vitro data suggested that Lamin-B1 acted as a functional downstream senescence effector in RCC cell lines. In conclusion, patients affected by ccRCC with high Lamin-B1 expression exhibit poor prognosis. Lamin-B1 may serve as a tissue-based biomarker for new therapeutic agents targeting therapy-induced senescence.

Oxidative stress induces an ATM-independent senescence pathway through p38 MAPK-mediated lamin B1 accumulation.

Project description:We report crosstalk between three senescence-inducing conditions, DNA damage response (DDR) defects, oxidative stress (OS) and nuclear shape alterations. The recessive autosomal genetic disorder Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is associated with DDR defects, endogenous OS and premature ageing. Here, we find frequent nuclear shape alterations in A-T cells, as well as accumulation of the key nuclear architecture component lamin B1. Lamin B1 overexpression is sufficient to induce nuclear shape alterations and senescence in wild-type cells, and normalizing lamin B1 levels in A-T cells reciprocally reduces both nuclear shape alterations and senescence. We further show that OS increases lamin B1 levels through p38 Mitogen Activated Protein kinase activation. Lamin B1 accumulation and nuclear shape alterations also occur during stress-induced senescence and oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), two canonical senescence situations. These data reveal lamin B1 as a general molecular mediator that controls OS-induced senescence, independent of established Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) roles in OIS.

Lamin B1 mapping reveals the existence of dynamic and functional euchromatin lamin B1 domains.

Project description:Lamins (A/C and B) are major constituents of the nuclear lamina (NL). Structurally conserved lamina-associated domains (LADs) are formed by genomic regions that contact the NL. Lamins are also found in the nucleoplasm, with a yet unknown function. Here we map the genome-wide localization of lamin B1 in an euchromatin-enriched fraction of the mouse genome and follow its dynamics during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Lamin B1 associates with actively expressed and open euchromatin regions, forming dynamic euchromatin lamin B1-associated domains (eLADs) of about 0.3 Mb. Hi-C data link eLADs to the 3D organization of the mouse genome during EMT and correlate lamin B1 enrichment at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders with increased border strength. Having reduced levels of lamin B1 alters the EMT transcriptional signature and compromises the acquisition of mesenchymal traits. Thus, during EMT, the process of genome reorganization in mouse involves dynamic changes in eLADs.

Knockdown of Lamin B1 and the Corresponding Lamin B Receptor Leads to Changes in Heterochromatin State and Senescence Induction in Malignant Melanoma.

Project description:Modifications in nuclear structures of cells are implicated in several diseases including cancer. They result in changes in nuclear activity, structural dynamics and cell signalling. However, the role of the nuclear lamina and related proteins in malignant melanoma is still unknown. Its molecular characterisation might lead to a deeper understanding and the development of new therapy approaches. In this study, we analysed the functional effects of dysregulated nuclear lamin B1 (LMNB1) and its nuclear receptor (LBR). According to their cellular localisation and function, we revealed that these genes are crucially involved in nuclear processes like chromatin organisation. RNA sequencing and differential gene expression analysis after knockdown of LMNB1 and LBR revealed their implication in important cellular processes driving ER stress leading to senescence and changes in chromatin state, which were also experimentally validated. We determined that melanoma cells need both molecules independently to prevent senescence. Hence, downregulation of both molecules in a BRAFV600E melanocytic senescence model as well as in etoposide-treated melanoma cells indicates both as potential senescence markers in melanoma. Our findings suggest that LMNB1 and LBR influence senescence and affect nuclear processes like chromatin condensation and thus are functionally relevant for melanoma progression.

Genomics of cellular proliferation in periodic environmental fluctuations.

Project description:Living systems control cell growth dynamically by processing information from their environment. Although responses to a single environmental change have been intensively studied, little is known about how cells react to fluctuating conditions. Here, we address this question at the genomic scale by measuring the relative proliferation rate (fitness) of 3,568 yeast gene deletion mutants in out-of-equilibrium conditions: periodic oscillations between two environmental conditions. In periodic salt stress, fitness and its genetic variance largely depended on the oscillating period. Surprisingly, dozens of mutants displayed pronounced hyperproliferation under short stress periods, revealing unexpected controllers of growth under fast dynamics. We validated the implication of the high-affinity cAMP phosphodiesterase and of a regulator of protein translocation to mitochondria in this group. Periodic oscillations of extracellular methionine, a factor unrelated to salinity, also altered fitness but to a lesser extent and for different genes. The results illustrate how natural selection acts on mutations in a dynamic environment, highlighting unsuspected genetic vulnerabilities to periodic stress in molecular processes that are conserved across all eukaryotes.

Redistribution of the Lamin B1 genomic binding profile affects rearrangement of heterochromatic domains and SAHF formation during senescence.

Project description:Senescence is a stress-responsive form of stable cell cycle exit. Senescent cells have a distinct gene expression profile, which is often accompanied by the spatial redistribution of heterochromatin into senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHFs). Studying a key component of the nuclear lamina lamin B1 (LMNB1), we report dynamic alterations in its genomic profile and their implications for SAHF formation and gene regulation during senescence. Genome-wide mapping reveals that LMNB1 is depleted during senescence, preferentially from the central regions of lamina-associated domains (LADs), which are enriched for Lys9 trimethylation on histone H3 (H3K9me3). LMNB1 knockdown facilitates the spatial relocalization of perinuclear H3K9me3-positive heterochromatin, thus promoting SAHF formation, which could be inhibited by ectopic LMNB1 expression. Furthermore, despite the global reduction in LMNB1 protein levels, LMNB1 binding increases during senescence in a small subset of gene-rich regions where H3K27me3 also increases and gene expression becomes repressed. These results suggest that LMNB1 may contribute to senescence in at least two ways due to its uneven genome-wide redistribution: first, through the spatial reorganization of chromatin and, second, through gene repression.

Lamin B1 Overexpresses in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Promotes Proliferation in Lung Cancer Cells via AKT Pathway.

Project description:Purpose:This study aims to investigate the biological effect and molecular mechanism of Lamin B1(LMNB1) in lung cancer cells and its significance for the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD) patients. Methods:In this study, Bioinformatics was performed to analyze the expression at mRNA level and prognosis effect of LMNB1 in LUAD from TCGA dataset. The immunohistochemistry(IHC) assay was conducted to analyzed the expression of LMNB1 at the protein level in LUAD tissues. The correlation between the expression of LMNB1 and the clinical factors in patients with LUAD was analyzed. Next, LMNB1 transfected into LUAD cell lines (A549 and PC-9) which was proved by Western blot. CCK8 assay, cloning formation assay, and xenograft assay were conducted to explore the effect and mechanism of LMNB1 on the proliferation of LUAD cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Results:The results of the present study demonstrated that LMNB1 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues and related to tumor stage. High LMNB1 expression was related with more advanced clinicopathological factors such as low degree of differentiation (P=0.02), large tumor size (P<0.01), lymph node metastasis (P<0.01) and higher tumor stage (P<0.01). After knocking down LMNB1, the cell growth rate (P<0.01) and the number of colonies (P<0.01) were significantly reduced, and the level of the proliferating marker Ki67 (P<0.01) was significantly decreased. At the same time, in vivo experiments showed that the tumor volume and tumor of the mice were significantly reduced (P<0.01). Moreover, we found that knockdown LMNB1 can inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells by inhibiting AKT phosphorylation by Western blot. Conclusion:In summary, LMNB1 play an of vital roles in the growth of LUAD cells, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of LUAD patients.
