Project description:We found that the number of tumor-infiltrating myofibroblasts was positively correlated to tumor acidification status in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the predominant precursors of liver myofibroblasts, were activated and transdifferentiated into myofibroblasts under acidic culture condition. To identify the molecular phenotype of LX-2 cells in acidic culture conditions, we further conducted a gene expression profile analysis.

Project description:To investigate the function of Rfg1 in sensing acidic pH and regulating filamentation in C. albicans, we performed the global gene expression profile analysis of WT and rfg1/rfg1 mutant.We reveal that Rfg1 is an essential acidic pH sensor in C. albicans. Rfg1 regulates filamentous growth in acidic pH condition via co-regulation of Rim101-Phr1 pathway, cAMP signaling pathway,and the transcription factors Bcr1, Efg1, Flo8, and Hgc1.

Project description:Acidic activation domains are intrinsically disordered regions of transcription factors that bind coactivators. The intrinsic disorder and low evolutionary conservation of activation domains have made it difficult to identify the sequence features controlling AD activity. To address this problem, we designed thousands of variants in seven acidic activation domains and measured their activities with a new high-throughput assay in human cell culture. We found that strong activation domain activity required a balance between the number of acidic residues and aromatic and leucine residues. These findings motivated a predictor of activation domains that scans the human proteome for clusters of aromatic and leucine residues embedded in regions of high acidity. This predictor identifies known activation domains and accurately predicts new ones. Our results support a flexible model of activation domains in which acidic residues solubilize hydrophobic motifs so that they can interact with coactivators.

Project description:Extracellular pH (pHe) is lower in many tumors than in the corresponding normal tissue. Acidic tumor microenvironment has been shown to facilitate epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor metastasis, while the mechanisms underlying tumor acidic microenvironment-induced tumor cell metastasis remain undefined. Here, we aimed to investigate the tumor metastasis and the EMT by acidic microenvironment and to explore their mechanisms and clinical significance in lung cancer. Results showed that acidic pHe remarkably enhanced invasion ability of lung cells accompanying with increased mesenchymal and decreased epithelial markers. Moreover, acidic pHe triggered the inhibition of microRNA-7 (miR-7) expression and activation of TGF-β2/SMAD signaling. Mechanistic studies showed that TGF-β2 is a direct potential target gene of miR-7, and acidity-induced metastasis could be abolished by treatment with a TGFβRI inhibitor, anti-TGF-β2 antibody and miR-7 mimic, respectively. The clinical samples further revealed that miR-7 was decreased in lung tissues and antagonistically correlated with TGF-β2 expression, associating with overall survival and metastasis. In conclusion, our study indicated that acidic pHe showed enhanced invasive potential, and enhanced potential to develop experimental metastases by a novel mechanism involving tumor acidic microenvironment-induced regulation of miR-7/TGF-β2/SMAD axis. Our findings suggest that the possibility that pHe of the primary tumor may be an important prognostic parameter for lung cancer patients merit clinical investigation. Moreover, miR-7 may serve as prognostic molecular marker and a novel therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Project description:Development of a new carcinoma cell line (HC-AFW1) derived from a pediatric liver tumor The cell line HC-AFW1 was derived from a 4 year old boy suffering from HCC through culturing and passage into immuno-deficient mice. The cell line is stable now for over 8 months of culture with a doubling time of 40 h. The tumor cells show an epithelial histology and express hepatoma proteins such as Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Glypican 3, E-cadherin, CD10, CD326, HepPar1, Vimentin and Desmin. Catenin beta shows a deletion of 49 amino acids in the exon 3 involving the phosphorylation sites of GSK3 and is detectable in the cell nuclei. Cytogenetic analysis revealed large anomalies in the chromosomal map including chromosomal aberrations found in hepatoblastoma as well as in adult HCC. Copy number analysis of two different passages of HC-AFW1 cells Two tumor specimens were used for tissue culture and xenotransplantation into NSG mice. Tumor cells derived from xenografts were cultured and designated as HC-AFW1. DNA was analyzed from the passage 2 (2P2). HC-AFW2 was derived from tissue culture without transfer in to mice. Primary tissue samples were minced into pieces of 3x3 mm and cultured on 6 well plates (Becton Dickenson, Frankfurt, Germany) in DMEM (GIBCO BRL, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% FCS (growth medium). Cell cultures were maintained in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 at 37°C. For subculturing cells were detached from the culture surface using accutase in Dulbecco´s PBS containing 0.5mM EDTA (PAA Laboratories GmbH, Cölbe, Germany) for 2-3 minutes at 37°C. A sub-cultivation ratio of 1:4 and 1:6 was performed twice per week. Cells were stored in liquid nitrogen as a suspension in complete growth medium with 10% DMSO. DNA from patient blood and tumor samples was isolated with the QiaAmp DNA mini Kit according to manufacturer's instructions (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy number polymorphism (CNP) genotyping were performed using the Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 and Genotyping Console (GTC) software (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).
