Project description:Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of gastric cancer and there is a need to discover new molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in H. pylori disease progression. We have previously shown that spermine oxidase (SMOX), the enzyme that catabolizes the back-conversion of the polyamine spermine to spermidine, is upregulated during infection and is associated with increased cancer risk in humans. We sought to determine the direct role of SMOX in gastric carcinogenesis during H. pylori infection. In this study, we demonstrate that transgenic FVB/N insulin-gastrin (INS-GAS) mice that develop gastric carcinoma with H. pylori infection were protected from cancer development with Smox deletion. RNA sequencing revealed that genes associated with the immune system and cancer were downregulated in the infected Smox–/– mice. Furthermore, there was a decrease in cell proliferation and DNA damage in infected Smox–/– animals. There was significant generation of adducts of the highly reactive electrophile acrolein, a byproduct of SMOX activity, in tissues from H. pylori-infected WT mice and humans. Genetic deletion of Smox or chemical inhibition of SMOX in murine organoids and human gastric epithelial cells and organoids, respectively, significantly reduced generation of acrolein induced by H. pylori. Furthermore, acrolein induced DNA damage in gastric epithelial cells, which was ablated with the electrophile scavenger 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA). Infected 2-HOBA treated INS-GAS WT mice with reduced gastric carcinoma had attenuated gastric acrolein adduct formation. These findings implicate SMOX and acrolein in H. pylori-induced carcinogenesis in gastric epithelial cells, thus indicating potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Administration of spermidine, a natural polyamine whose intracellular concentration declines during human ageing, markedly extends the lifespan of various model organisms including yeast, flies and worms. In ageing yeast, spermidine treatment triggeres epigenetic deacetylation of histone H3 through inhibition of histone acetyltransferases (HAT), leading to induction of autophagy and thereby suppressing oxidative stress and necrosis. In order to further characterize the effects by spermidine supplementation of aging yeast cultures and to understand how global histone deacetylation affects gene transcription during aging, Affymetrix-based microarray analyses of three day old as well as ten day old cultures with and without administration of spermidine was performed.

Project description:Primary cilia (PC) are important signaling hubs in cells and we explored their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colitis. In the colon we found PC to be mostly present on different subtypes of fibroblasts and exposure of mice to either chemically induced colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis (CAC) or dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis decreased PC numbers. We employed conditional knock-out strains for the PC essential genes, Kif3A and Ift88, to generate mice with reduced numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts. These mice showed an increased susceptibility in the CAC model as well as in DSS-induced colitis. Secretome and immunohistochemical analyses of DSS-treated mice displayed an elevated production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in PC-deficient colons. An inflammatory environment diminished PC presence in primary fibroblast cultures. This was triggered by IL-6 as identified by RNAseq analysis together with blocking experiments, suggesting an activation loop between IL-6 production and PC loss. Notably, an analysis of PC presence on biopsies of patients with ulcerative colitis as well as CRC patients revealed decreased numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts in pathological versus surrounding normal tissue. Taken together, we provide evidence that a decrease in colonic PC numbers promotes colitis and CRC.

Project description:Spermidine is involved in a variety of biological processes, including DNA metabolism, autophagy and aging. Previous studies have shown that spermidine can increase the percentage of mouse oocytes developing into blastocysts after in vitro fertilization. However, none of the past studies elucidated the effects of spermidine supplementation on porcine oocyte maturation. Here, we choose appropriate dose of spermidine to be added to the maturation medium during in vitro maturation (IVM) to verify whether spermidine can actively promote the maturation of porcine oocytes. Our study provided substantial evidence that spermidine exposure promoted the porcine oocyte meiotic maturation. In addition, single-cell transcriptome analysis identified the target effectors of spermidine actions in porcine oocytes, further demonstrating that spermidine exposure enhanced mitochondrial distribution and function, leading to a reduced excessive oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and early apoptosis of porcine oocytes. These findings demonstrate that spermidine not only delays ageing and cancer treatment, but also improves the quality of germ cells, which may be less likely to suffer from sterility or infertility in humans and animals.

Project description:Advanced age is a primary risk factor for female infertility due to reduced ovarian reserve and declining oocyte quality. However, as an important contributing factor, the role of metabolic regulation during reproductive aging is poorly understood. Here, we applied untargeted metabolomics to identify spermidine as a critical metabolite in ovaries to protect oocytes against aging. In particular, we found that spermidine level was reduced in aged ovaries and supplementation of spermidine promoted follicle development, oocyte maturation, early embryonic development and female fertility of aged mice. By micro-transcriptomic analysis, we further discovered that recovery of oocyte quality by spermidine was mediated by enhancement of mitophagy activity and mitochondrial function in aged mice, and this action mechanism was conserved in porcine oocytes under oxidative stress. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that spermidine supplementation is a potentially effective strategy to ameliorate oocyte quality and reproductive outcome of women at an advanced age.

Project description:The naturally occurring polyamines putrescine, spermidine or spermine are ubiquitous in all cells. Although polyamines have prominent regulatory roles in cell division and growth, precise molecular and cellular functions are not well established in vivo. In this work we have performed a microarray experiment in a polyamine mutant (delta-spe3 delta-fms1) strain to investigate the responsiveness of yeast genes to supplementation with spermidine and spermine. Expression analysis identified genes responsive to the addition of either excess spermidine (10-5 M) or spermine (10-5 M) compared to a control culture containing 10-8 M spermidine. 247 genes were up-regulated >2-fold, and 11 genes were up-regulated more than 10-fold after spermidine addition. Functional categorization of the genes showed induction of transport related genes, and genes involved in methionine, arginine, lysine, NAD and biotin biosynthesis. 268 genes were down-regulated more than 2-fold, and 6 genes were down-regulated more than 8-fold after spermidine addition. A majority of the down-regulated genes are involved in nucleic acid metabolism and various stress responses. In contrast, only few genes (18) were significantly responsive to spermine. Thus, results from global gene expression profiling demonstrate a more major role for spermidine in modulating gene expression in yeast than spermine. Experiment Overall Design: 5 control replicates vs. 3 spermine (SP)-treated or 5 spermidine (SPD)-treated samples.

Project description:Aging is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Here we show that oral supplementation of the natural polyamine spermidine extends lifespan, while it exerts cardioprotective effects through reduction of cardiac hypertrophy and preservation of diastolic function in old mice. Spermidine feeding enhanced cardiac autophagy, mitophagy, mitochondrial respiration and mechano-elastical properties of cardiomyocytes in vivo, coinciding with increased titin phosphorylation and suppressed subclinical inflammation. Spermidine failed to promote cardioprotection in mice lacking the autophagy-related gene Atg5 in cardiomyocytes. In Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed high-salt diet, a model for hypertension-induced congestive heart failure, spermidine reduced systemic blood pressure, increased titin phosphorylation and prevented cardiac hypertrophy and a decline in diastolic function, thus delaying the progression to heart failure. Finally, high dietary spermidine intake correlated with reduced blood pressure and a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in humans. Our results suggest a novel and generic strategy against cardiovascular disease.

Project description:Polyamines are aliphatic polycations that have emerged as important determinants of cell growth and viability in rapidly proliferating cells, including in the pathogenic protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. In L. donovani, the polyamine spermidine is synthesized by the successive conversion of ornithine into putrescine (catalyzed by ornithine decarboxylase or ODC) and putrescine into spermidine (catalyzed by spermidine synthase or SPDSYN). Deletion of either ODC (del-odc) or SPDSYN (del-spdsyn) from the L. donovani genome renders these parasites auxotrophic for polyamines and these mutants are impaired in their ability to survive both in culture and within the mammalian host without the addition of exogenous polyamine supplementation. Significantly, del-odc parasites immediately cease proliferation after putrescine is removed from the culture media and perish within two weeks, while spermidine starved del-spdsyn mutants, which retain intracellular putrescine pools, show a slow-growth phenotype, and persist for several weeks in culture. To elucidate the key differences within the proteome of putrescine-starved del-odc cells and spermidine-starved del-spdsyn parasites, a shotgun quantitative proteomics approach was undertaken using TMT labeling and LC-MS/MS analysis. Briefly, three biological replicates each for mid-log phase del-odc and del-spdsyn promastigotes grown in the presence of exogenous putrescine (for del-odc) or spermidine (for del-spdsyn) supplementation were washed to remove the exogenous polyamine supplementation and incubated in polyamine-free media. At 24 and 48 h, cells from each biological replicate were isolated and prepared for tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling and downstream LC-MS/MS analyses. Peptides were identified using a database generated from the reference genome of L. donovani BPK282A1 strain. Changes in relative protein abundance for the polyamine-starved del-odc and del-spdsyn cell lines at 24 and 48 h were calculated by comparing aggregate total reporter ion intensities for each protein to that of the corresponding polyamine-supplemented 0-h timepoint.
