Differential gene regulation and tumor inhibitory activities of alpha-, delta- and gamma-tocopherols in estrogen-mediated mammary carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Examination of different forms of tocopherol treatment in mammary tumorigenesis by comparing NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) Methods: Use of cDNA library construction and Illumina sequencing (NextGen 75 bp pair-end) and quality control using FastQC. Results: Differential transcriptome profiling of mammary tumors between different forms of tocopherol treatment was observed. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of mammary tumor transcriptomes with different tocopherol treatment generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles with tocopherols.

Transcription profiling of chicken liver after alpha- and gamma-tocopherol supplementation in case of increased oxidative stress susceptibility

Project description:A 30-day nutritional trial in broiler chickens (Ross 308) was conducted to investigate how specific forms of vitamin E (Î±- and Î³-tocopherol) and their combination impact liver gene expression when oxidative susceptibility of the organism is induced by high n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) intake. Thirty-six one-day-old male broilers were fed a diet enriched with 5 % linseed oil to induce oxidative susceptibility. Beside negative (N) and positive (P) control group, experimental groups were supplemented with either: 67 mg/kg RRR-Î±-tocopherol (A), 67 mg/kg RRR-Î³-tocopherol (G) or with combination of 33.5 mg/kg of each tocopherol (S). Whole chicken genome microarray analysis was performed on liver RNA and selected differentially expressed genes were confirmed by qRT-PCR.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis tocopherol deficient seedlings

Project description:Tocopherols (Vitamin E) are lipophilic antioxidants that are synthesized by all plants and are particularly abundant in seeds. Two tocopherol deficient mutant loci were used to examine how tocopherol deficiency impacts global gene expression during the critical peroid of germination and early seedling development when tocopherols are essential. vte1 lacks all tocopherols, but accumulates the tocopherol pathway intermediate DMPBQ,. vte2 which lacks all tocopherols and pathway intermediates. We used microarrays to examine the global gene expression in early seedlings and identify distinct classes of genes whose expression is affected by tocopherol deficient mutants vte1 and vte2. Experiment Overall Design: Arabidopsis seedlings were grown on media containing MS salts at 22C and RNA was extracted from 1 (1D)and 3 (3D)day old seedlings following cold treatment to break dormancy and synchronize germination (5 days at 6C) . We sought to compare the two tocopherol deficient mutants vte1 (VTE1) and vte2 (VTE2) with each other and the corresponding wild-type background Columbia-0 (COL).

Differential Gene Regulation and Tumor-Inhibitory Activities of Alpha-, Delta-, and Gamma-Tocopherols in Estrogen-Mediated Mammary Carcinogenesis.

Project description:Despite experimental evidence elucidating the antitumor activities of tocopherols, clinical trials with ?-tocopherol (?-T) have failed to demonstrate its beneficial effects in cancer prevention. This study compared the chemopreventive efficacy of individual tocopherols (?-, ?-, and ?-T) and a ?-T-rich tocopherol mixture (?-TmT) in the August-Copenhagen Irish (ACI) rat model of estrogen-mediated mammary cancer. Female ACI rats receiving 17?-estradiol (E2) implants were administered with 0.2% ?-T, ?-T, ?-T, or ?-TmT for 30 weeks. Although ?-T had no significant effects on mammary tumor growth in ACI rats, ?-T, ?-T, and ?-TmT reduced mammary tumor volume by 51% (P < 0.05), 60% (P < 0.01), and 59% (P < 0.01), respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that ?-T, ?-T, and ?-TmT reduced levels of the cell proliferation marker, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, in the rat mammary tumors. To gain further insight into the biological functions of different forms of tocopherols, RNA-seq analysis of the tumors was performed. Treatment with ?-T induced robust gene expression changes in the mammary tumors of ACI rats. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified "Cancer" as a top disease pathway and "Tumor growth" and "Metastasis" as the top signaling pathways modulated by ?-T. Although the results need further functional validation, this study presents an unbiased attempt to understand the differences between biological activities of individual forms of tocopherols at the whole transcriptome level. In conclusion, ?-T and ?-T have superior cancer preventive properties compared to ?-T in the prevention of estrogen-mediated mammary carcinogenesis. Cancer Prev Res; 10(12); 694-703. ©2017 AACR.

A vertebrate fatty acid desaturase with Delta 5 and Delta 6 activities.

Project description:Delta5 and Delta6 fatty acid desaturases are critical enzymes in the pathways for the biosynthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids. They are encoded by distinct genes in mammals and Caenorhabditis elegans. This paper describes a cDNA isolated from zebrafish (Danio rerio) with high similarity to mammalian Delta6 desaturase genes. The 1,590-bp sequence specifies a protein that, in common with other fatty acid desaturases, contains an N-terminal cytochrome b(5) domain and three histidine boxes, believed to be involved in catalysis. When the zebrafish cDNA was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae it conferred the ability to convert linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) to their corresponding Delta6 desaturated products, 18:3n-6 and 18:4n-3. However, in addition it conferred on the yeast the ability to convert di-homo-gamma-linoleic acid (20:3n-6) and eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4n-3) to arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3), respectively, indicating that the zebrafish gene encodes an enzyme having both Delta5 and Delta6 desaturase activity. The zebrafish Delta5/Delta6 desaturase may represent a component of a prototypic vertebrate polyunsaturated fatty acids biosynthesis pathway.

Natural compounds ursolic acid and digoxin exhibit inhibitory activities to cancer cells in RORγ-dependent and -independent manner

Project description:Natural compounds ursolic acid (UA) and digoxin isolated from fruits and other plants display potent anti-cancer effects in preclinical studies. UA and digoxin have been at clinical trials for treatment of different cancers including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer and breast cancer. However, they displayed limited benefit to patients. Currently, a poor understanding of their direct targets and mechanisms of action (MOA) severely hinders their further development. We previously identified nuclear receptor RORγ as a novel therapeutic target for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and demonstrated that tumor cell RORγ directly activates gene programs such as androgen receptor (AR) signaling and cholesterol metabolism. Previous studies also demonstrated that UA and digoxin are potential RORγt antagonists in modulating the functions of immune cells such as Th17 cells. Here we showed that UA displays a strong activity in inhibition of RORγ-dependent transactivation function in cancer cells, while digoxin exhibits no effect at clinically relevant concentrations. In prostate cancer cells, UA down-regulates RORγ-stimulated AR expression and AR signaling, whereas digoxin up-regulates AR signaling pathway. In TNBC cells, UA but not digoxin alters RORγ-controlled gene programs of cell proliferation, apoptosis and cholesterol-biosynthesis.Together, our study reveals for the first-time that UA, but not digoxin, acts as a natural antagonist of RORγ in the cancer cells. Our finding that RORγ is a direct target of UA in cancer cells will help select patients with tumors that likely respond to UA treatment.

Urease inhibitory activities of ?-boswellic acid derivatives.

Project description:Boswellia carterii have been used in traditional medicine for many years for management different gastrointestinal disorders. In this study, we wish to report urease inhibitory activity of four isolated compound of boswellic acid derivative.4 pentacyclic triterpenoid acids were isolated from Boswellia carterii and identified by NMR and Mass spectroscopic analysis (compounds 1, 3-O-acetyl-9,11-dehydro-?-boswellic acid; 2, 3-O-acetyl-11-hydroxy-?-boswellic acid; 3. 3-O- acetyl-11-keto-?-boswellic acid and 4, 11-keto-?-boswellic acid. Their inhibitory activity on Jack bean urease were evaluated. Docking and pharmacophore analysis using AutoDock 4.2 and Ligandscout 3.03 programs were also performed to explain possible mechanism of interaction between isolated compounds and urease enzyme.It was found that compound 1 has the strongest inhibitory activity against Jack bean urease (IC50?=?6.27?±?0.03 ?M), compared with thiourea as a standard inhibitor (IC50?=?21.1?±?0.3 ?M).The inhibition potency is probably due to the formation of appropriate hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between the investigated compounds and urease enzyme active site and confirms its traditional usage.
