Project description:<p>Chloroquine (CQ) is widely used in the therapy against malarial, tumor and recently the COVID-19 pandemic, as a lysosomotropic agent to inhibit the endolysosomal trafficking in the autophagy pathway. We previously reported that CQ (20 µM, 36 h) could reprogram transcriptome and impair multiple signaling pathways vital to porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs). However, whether CQ treatment could affect the metabolomic compositions of porcine iSCs remains unclear. Here, we showed that CQ (20 µM, 36 h) treatment of porcine iSCs induced significant changes of 63 metabolites (11 up and 52 down) by the metabolomics method, which were involved in different metabolic pathways. Caffeic acid and esculetin, the top two up-regulated metabolites, were validated by ELISA. Furthermore, esculetin treatment (53 nM, 36 h) significantly decreased the viability and proliferation, suppressed the mitochondrial function, whereas promoted the apoptosis of porcine iSCs, similar to those by CQ treatment (20 µM, 36 h). Collectively, our results showed that CQ treatment induces metabolic changes, and its effect on porcine iSCs could be partially mediated by esculetin.</p>

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: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:Axon integrity is crucial for neuronal function. To maintain axonal homeostasis neurons have evolved a unique organization of the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton, which supports axonal morphology and provides tracks for intracellular transport. Although abnormal MT-based trafficking highlights the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases, the exact mechanism regulating MT dynamics in the axon remains enigmatic. Here we report on a novel regulation of MT dynamics by autophagy, the pathway, which previously has been linked to lysosomal degradation. We find that AuTophaGy(ATG)-related proteins required for LC3 lipid conjugation regulate MT stability via controlling the abundance of MT-binding protein CLASP2. This function of ATGs is independent of their role in protein degradation and requires the active zone protein ELKS1. Our results highlight a novel role of autophagy in neurons and suggest that pharmacological activation of autophagy may not only promote the degradation of bulk cytoplasmic material, but also impair axonal integrity via altering the MT stability.

Project description:Mutations in the Hsp70 co-chaperone Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (Bag3) result in myofibrillar myopathy and pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (pHCM) in human patients, but the pathological mechanisms underlying Bag3 dysfunction in the developing heart have remained unclear. Here we show that conditional ablation of Bag3 in cardiomyocytes (CMs) results in progressive cardiomyopathy accompanied by increased autophagic flux and autophagosome accumulation in the early post-natal period. Autophagy inhibition via acute administration of chloroquine (CQ) results in transient accumulation of cardiac proteins in the detergent-insoluble fraction, implying a role for autophagy in the degradation of unfolded proteins in the absence of Bag3 co-chaperone activity. Exacerbated autophagy in Bag3 deficient CMs leads to decreased soluble levels of proteins involved in cardiac contraction and conduction, including the gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43). Importantly, chronic CQ treatment during the early post-natal period results in a significant amelioration of the pathological phenotype, with recovered contractile performances and restoration of soluble levels of autophagy-targeted proteins. We therefore conclude that loss of Bag3 in CMs leads to autophagic flux exacerbation and that CQ treatment is relevant to therapeutic strategies for Bag3-dependent pHCM patients.

Project description:Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid, AA), as vital micro-nutrient, plays an essential role for male animal reproduction. Previously, we showed that vitamin C reprogrammed the transcriptome and proteome to change phenotypes of porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs). Here, we used LC-MS-based non-targeted metabolomics to further investigate the metabolic effects of vitamin C on porcine iSCs. The results identified 43 significantly differential metabolites (16 up and 27 down) as induced by vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate, AA2P) treatment of porcine iSCs, which were mainly enriched in steroid related and protein related metabolic pathways. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) showed that significantly differential metabolites of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis) and Desmosterol (involved in steroid degradation) were significantly increased, which were partially consistent with metabolomic results. Further integrative analysis of metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data identified the strong correlation between the key differential metabolite of Dehydroepiandrosterone and 6 differentially expressed genes (DEGs)/proteins (DEPs) (HMGCS1, P4HA1, STON2, LOXL2, EMILIN2 and CCN3). Further experiments validated that HMGCS1 could positively regulate Dehydroepiandrosterone level. These data indicate that vitamin C could modulate the metabolism profile, and HMGCS1-DHEA could be the pathway to mediate effects exerted by vitamin C on porcine iSCs.

Project description:To investigate the in vivo gene expression changes in Drosophila intestinal stem cells (ISCs) when OXPHOS is disrupted and the role of FOXO in regulating this process, we dissected midguts from 4 groups of adult flies: "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/+ & homoplasmic mt:CoIsyn" (C group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/+ & heteroplasmic mt:CoIT300I" (H group, also called M group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/UAS-FOXO-IR & homoplasmic mt:CoIsyn" (FC group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/UAS-FOXO-IR & heteroplasmic mt:CoIT300I" (FH group, also called FM group), ~200 midguts per group. The flies were initially obtained and maintained at 18 °C till 2 days after eclosion and were then heat-shocked at 37 ºC for 2 hours and maintained in 29 °C for 5 days. Thus, the ISCs of H and FH group flies were carrying the lethal homoplasmic mitoXhoI-resistant mt:CoIT300I mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) with the wild-type mtDNAs eliminated by mitoXhoI and the OXPHOS disrupted. Meanwhile, the ISCs of C and FC group flies were still carrying wild-type-like but mitoXhoI-resistant mt:CoIsyn mtDNAs. Through the mRNA tagging method with the expressed FLAG-tagged poly(A)-binding protein (pAbp) and anti-FLAG affinity pull-down, We purified and compared mRNA transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of different ISCs groups in duplicates. We found about 10% of the mRNAs we detected were either up-regulated or down-regulated in the OXPHOS-disrupted (M group) ISCs compared with control (C group). The down-regulated pool included many genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and growth regulation. The up-regulated pool was enriched in genes participating in various metabolic processes, including glycolysis and fatty acids synthesis. This result suggests a possible metabolic adaptation in response to the OXPHOS deficiency in M group ISCs. Importantly, knockdown of FOXO in OXPHOS-disrupted ISCs restored the expression level of more than 50% of the up- or down-regulated genes, indicating that transcriptional response to OXPHOS deficiency is partially mediated by FOXO. We also noticed that genes whose expressions were altered in OXPHOS-disrupted ISCs included many related to Notch signaling, indicating the mis-regulation of this signaling in these ISCs.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming sustains cancer cell anabolism, and MYC oncoproteins control many aspects of this response. Normal cells adapt to nutrient-limiting conditions by activating autophagy, which is required for amino acid (AA) homeostasis. Surprisingly, here we report the autophagy-lysosomal pathway is suppressed by Myc in normal B cells, in premalignant and neoplastic B cells of Eµ-Myc transgenic mice, and in MYC-driven human Burkitt lymphoma. Myc suppresses autophagy by antagonizing expression and function of TFEB, a master regulator of autophagy/lysosome genes. Notably, compensatory mechanisms that sustain AA pools in MYC-expressing B cells include marked increases in AA transport and coordinate induction of the proteasome. Finally, reactivation of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway by constitutively active TFEB disables the malignant state, by perturbing mitochondrial functions and disrupting proteasome activity, amino acid transport, and disrupts amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, leading to growth arrest and apoptosis. This scenario provides therapeutic opportunities that disable MYC-driven tumorigenesis, including AA restriction and treatment with proteasome inhibitors.
