Project description:Mutations in PfCRT confer chloroquine (CQ) resistance in P. falciparum. Point mutations in the homolog of the mammalian multidrug resistance gene (pfmdr1) can also modulate the levels of CQ response. However, parasites with the same pfcrt and pfmdr1 alleles exhibit a wide range of drug sensitivity, suggesting that additional genes contribute to levels of CQ resistance (CQR). We used 3 isogenic lines which have different drug resistance profiles corresponding to unique mutations in the pfcrt gene (106/1K76, 106/176I, and 106/76I-352K) to study changes in gene expression with and without CQ and genomic variations, i.e. copy number (CN) changes. RNA transcription levels from 45 genes were significantly altered in one or both mutants relative to the parent line. Of particular interest are genes encoding proteins involved in transport and/or regulation of cytoplasmic or compartmental pH, e.g. the V-type H+ pumping pyrophosphatase 2, Ca2+/H+ antiporter VCX1 and copy number changes in pfmdr1. A series of deletion (including 15 genes) also occurred at the beginning of chromosome 10. Experiment Overall Design: Three isogenic parasite lines were treated with and without 3h CQ and synchronized for total RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix GeneChips® to study gene expression profiles. Genomic DNA from mixed culture was also extracted and hybridized to the same Affymetrix GeneChips. Total 18 total RNA samples (3 biological replicates per condition) and 6 genomic DNA samples (2 biological replicates per condition).

Project description:The emergence of multidrug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum parasites presents a significant obstacle to the malaria elimination agenda. Resistance to piperaquine (PPQ), an important first-line partner drug, has spread across Southeast Asia where it has contributed to widespread treatment failures. The genetic cause of resistance to PPQ is attributable to a novel set of amino acid substitutions in the P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT). The objective of our study is to characterize gene expression signatures associated with PPQ-resistance associated PfCRT mutations by comparing transcriptional profiles of PPQ-resistant PfCRT mutants (F145I, G353V, M343L) and isogenic PPQ-sensitive lines that were generated by zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) based editing in a long-term adapted (Dd2).

Project description:The combination of piperaquine and dihydroartemisinin has recently become the official first-line therapy in several Southeast Asian countries. The pharmacokinetic mismatching of these drugs, whose plasma half lives are ∼20 days and ∼1 hr respectively, implies that recrudescent or new infections emerging shortly after treatment cessation will encounter piperaquine as a monotherapy agent. This creates substantial selection pressure for the emergence of resistance. To elucidate potential resistance determinants, we subjected cloned Plasmodium falciparum Dd2 parasites to continuous piperaquine pressure in vitro (47 nM, ∼two-fold higher than the Dd2 IC(50) value). The phenotype of outgrowth parasites was assayed in two clones, revealing an IC(50) value against piperaquine of 2.1 μM and 1.7 μM, over 100-fold greater than the parent. To identify the genetic determinant of resistance, we employed comparative whole-genome hybridization analysis. Compared to the Dd2 parent, this analysis found (in both resistant clones) a novel single nucleotide polymorphism in pfcrt, deamplification of an 82 kb region of chromosome 5 (that includes pfmdr1), and amplification of an adjacent 63 kb region of chromosome 5. Continued propagation without piperaquine selection pressure resulted in derivation of "revertant" piperaquine-sensitive parasites. These retained the pfcrt polymorphism and further deamplified the chromosome 5 segment that encompasses pfmdr1; however, these two independently generated revertants both lost the neighboring 63 kb amplification. These results suggest that a copy number variation event on chromosome 5 (825600-888300) is associated with piperaquine resistance. Transgenic studies are underway with individual genes in this segment to evaluate their contribution to piperaquine resistance.

Project description:Nilotinib is a second-generation BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the first-line treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia. However, its nephrotoxicity has become prominent with the increase of clinical use, which greatly limits its long-term application. So far, the mechanism of nilotinib’s nephrotoxicity is still unknown leading to a lack of clinical intervention strategies. Here, we found that nilotinib could promote intrinsic apoptosis of both vascular endothelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells, which was mediated by the excessive ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-XL. Moreover, we confirmed that Chloroquine (CQ) could intervene nilotinib-induced apoptosis by reversing the decreased BCL-XL whose mechanism was not relied on autophagy inhibition. Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis was applied to identify the potential target of CQ and the result suggested that CQ could alleviate nilotinib-induced ANKRD1 reduction. Further, we found ANKRD1 abrogated cell apoptosis by preventing ubiquitination of BCL-XL and hence inhibiting BCL-XL degradation. In conclusion, our research reveals the molecular mechanism of nilotinib’s nephrotoxicity, wherein the excessive degradation of BCL-XL via ubiquitin-proteasome pathway promotes kidney cells apoptosis, and provides CQ analogs as the clinical intervention strategy of nilotinib’s nephrotoxicity whose pharmacological effect is dependent on ANKRD1 instead of autophagy inhibition.

Project description:Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum remains a challenge for the malaria eradication programs around the world. With the emergence of artemisinin resistance, the efficacy of the partner drugs in the artemisinin combination therapies (ACT) that include quinoline based drugs is becoming critical. So far only few resistance markers have been identified and verified from which only two ABC transmembrane transporters namely PfMDR1 and PfCRT have been experimentally verified. Another P. falciparum ABC transporter, the multidrug resistance-associated protein (PfMRP2) represents an additional possible factor of drug resistance in P. falciparum. In this study, we identify a parasite clone that is derived from the 3D7 P. falciparum strain and which shows increased resistance to chloroquine and mefloquine through the trophozoite and schizont stages. We demonstrate that the resistance phenotype is caused by a 4.1 kb deletion in the 5’ upstream region of the pfmrp2 gene that leads to an alteration in the pfmrp2 transcription that result in increased levels of PfMRP2 protein. These results also suggest the importance of putative promoter elements in regulation of gene expression during the P. falciparum intra-erythrocytic developmental cycle and the potential of such genetic polymorphisms to underlie drug resistance phenotypes. Presented here are the data from microarray-based genome-wide transcriptomic and genomic studies of the drug-sensitive and drug-resistant 3D7 clones 11C/wt and 6A/mut.

Project description:The main goal of this study is to characterize the transcriptional modulations induced by antiviral compounds derived from chloroquine on Huh7 cells infected with HCV. And thus to identify among the genes modulated by infection, those who are regulated by chloroquine and potentially involved in the antiviral activity of the compound.Two HCV cell models were used: a non-infectious HCV replicon and the infectious HCV cell culture (HCVcc). In addition, this study aimed to highlight the characteristics of derivatives of antiviral chloroquine, compared with chloroquine itself. Abstract from the associated publication: Autophagy is a process of self-degradation of cellular components in which double-membrane autophagosomes sequester organelles or portion of cytosol and fuse with lysosomes or vacuoles for breakdown by resident hydrolases. Autophagy is upregulated in response to extra- or intracellular stress and signals such as starvation, growth factor deprivation, ER stress, and pathogen infection. Indeed, infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) was shown to induce autophagy through ER stress signaling and subsequent Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) activation. Moreover, a role of autophagy in promoting HCV infection has been suggested and chloroquine (CQ), a lysosomal protease inhibitor, has been seen blocking autophagy as well as inhibiting HCV replication. In the present report, mechanisms accounting for these inhibitory effects were investigated. Gene expression profiling was performed on CQ treated JFH-1-infected Huh7 cells to identify the host cellular genes that are transcriptionally regulated by infection, and silenced by CQ-based treatment. Herein, we demonstrate that CQ reduces the expression of genes induced by the viral infection such as those encoding autophagic key factors triggering the turn-off of mTOR activity as well as factors involved in p53 and NF-KappaB activities. However, we present several lines of evidence demonstrating that the CQ repressive effect observed on the HCV-induced pathways results from a decrease of ER stress due to the upstream pH-dependent inhibitory effect of CQ on viral replication. Gene expression modulations were measured in Huh7 harboring replicon cells stimulated with a 10M-BM-5M of a Chloroquine derivative compound called CQd, during 6h, 12h and 24h. Two independent experiments were performed at each time. An untreated control condition was performed in each experiment, expression was measured at the 24h time point. For the HCVcc model, gene expression analysis was analyzed in two conditions: infection and treatment of infected cells. To characterize modulations in time course of infection, Huh7 naM-CM-/ve cells were infected with JFH1/CS-N6-A4 viral stock and gene expression was measured at 6h, 24h and 48h postinfection. For each kinetic time point, an uninfected condition was performed and gene expression was measured. An additional control testing the interferon (IFN) induced modulations on infected cells was included and gene expression was measured after a 48h stimulation with 100 IU of IFN (alpha 2 b). To characterize the antiviral modulations resulting from treatment with Chloroquine (CQ) or a derivative compound (CQd), gene expression was measured in JFH1/CS-N6-A4 infected Huh7 cells treated with 40M-BM-5M of CQ or CQd during 12h or 48h post-treatment and infection. For each kinetic time point 12h and 48h, an untreated infected control was also performed and gene expression measured.

Project description:Pyronaridine (PN) and chloroquine (CQ) are structurally related anti-malarial drugs with primarily the same mode of action. However, PN is effective against several multidrug-resistant lines of Plasmodium falciparum, including CQ-resistant lines, suggestive of important operational differences between the two drugs. Synchronized trophozoite-stage cultures of P. falciparum strain K1 (CQ resistant) were exposed to 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of PN and CQ, and parasites were harvested from culture after 4 and 24 hours exposure. Global transcriptional changes effected by drug treatment were investigated using DNA microarrays.
