Project description:Observational studies indicate that calcium supplementation may protect against colorectal cancer. Stratified analyses suggest that this protective effect may differ based on anatomic subsite and sex, but these hypotheses have been difficult to test experimentally. Here, we exposed 36 patient-derived organoid lines derived from normal colon biopsies (21 right colons, 15 left colons) of unrelated subjects (18 female, 18 male) to moderate (1.66 mmol/L) or high (5.0 mmol/L) concentrations of calcium for 72 hours. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing to measure gene expression, and cell composition was inferred using single-cell deconvolution in CIBERSORTx. We tested for significant differences in gene expression using generalized linear models in DESeq2. Exposure to higher levels of calcium was associated with changes in cell composition (P < 0.05), most notably increased goblet and reduced stem cell populations, and differential expression of 485 genes (FDR < 0.05). We found that 40 of these differentially expressed genes mapped to genomic loci identified through colorectal cancer genome-wide association studies, suggesting a potential biologic overlap between calcium supplementation and inherited colorectal cancer risk. Stratified analyses identified more differentially expressed genes in colon organoids derived from right sided colon and male subjects than those derived from left sided colon and female subjects. We confirmed the presence of a stronger right-sided effect for one of these genes, HSD17B2 using qPCR in a subset of matched right and left colon organoids (n = 4). By relating our findings to genetic data, we provide new insights into how nutritional and genetic factors may interact to influence colorectal cancer risk.Prevention relevanceA chemopreventive role for calcium in colorectal cancer is still unclear. Here, we identify mechanisms through which calcium supplementation may reduce risk. Calcium supplementation increased differentiation and altered expression of colorectal cancer-related genes in a large study of patient-derived colon organoids. These findings were influenced by colon location and sex.

Project description:Here, we used bulk RNA-seq data derived from healthy colon organoids (un)exposed to ethanol. Through the use of external single cell RNA-seq data, we estimate changes in cell composition that are more pronounced in distal colon organoids following ethanol treatment. We extend this analysis by inferring cell-type-specific effects of ethanol treatment on colon organoids.

Project description:We report the application of RNA-seq for molecular profiling of cultured, cortical astrocytes. Our data set is based on about 40 million unique reads per sample in four independent mRNA preparations. Cortical astrocytes are a prototypical cell model for investigating calcium signaling. For analysis of calcium fluxes, we performed direct calcium imaging in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytosol. We describe in our study the physiological profile of homeostatic and agonist-induced calcium fluxes. Furthermore, we show how ER calcium release shapes the cytosolic calcium signal. This transcriptome dataset was used to profile the calcium toolkit of astrocytes. The data suggest that a small number of calcium signaling-related proteins mediate calcium homeostasis in astrocytes.

Project description:Here we probe the global response to calcium in the marine bacterium and pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus by using transcriptome, reporter and phenotypic analyses. Swarming gene expression and motility were enhanced by calcium. Calcium also stimulated expression and function of one of the organismM-bM-^@M-^Ys two type three secretion systems (T3SS1 but not the T3SS2). Although low calcium is an inducing signal for the T3SS of many organisms, calcium stimulation of T3SS has not been reported before. EGTA was also a stimulus for T3SS1 expression and activity; however this appeared to be the consequence of iron rather than calcium chelation. LafK, a key regulator of swarming genes, was found necessary for calcium induction of T3SS1 gene transcription and cytotoxicity. Regulation of swarming and T3SS1 were additionally linked by a negative feedback loop propagated by ExsA. Overexpression of exsA was used to probe the extent of the T3SS1 regulon and verify its coincident induction by calcium and EGTA. The calcium transcriptome analysis revealed a calcium-repressed LysR-type transcriptional regulator; CalR was shown to repress swarming and T3SS1 gene expression. Thus in V. parahaemolyticus, calcium influences gene expression and behavior and seems a signal pertinent for surface colonization and virulence. The gene expression profiles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus cells grown on rich medium or medium supplemented with CaCl2 or EGTA were compared using Affymetrix custom microarrays.

Project description:Purpose: Over the past few years, the distinction between left- and right-sided colon cancer has been brought into focus. Right-sided tumor location was associated with an inferior overall survival and progression-free survival. We aimed to perform a detailed analysis of the diversity in exosomes between left- and right-sided colon cancer using quantitative proteomics. Experimental Design: We isolated exosomes from left- and right-sided colon cancer patients and healthy volunteers and treated colorectal cancer cell line with serum-derived exosomes. Then we performed quantitative proteomics analysis of the serum-derived exosomes and cell line treated with exosomes, respectively. Results: The expression profile of the serum exosome proteome in patients with right-sided colon cancer is different from patients with left-sided colon cancer. Serum-derived exosomes of right-sided colon cancer promote metastasis via up-regulation of extracellular matrix-related proteins, especially proteoglycans like SPARC and glycoprotein like LRG1. Exosomal SPARC and LRG1 were closely correlated with progression-free survival. Conclusions: Proteomic analysis identified different exosomal protein profiling between left- and right-sided colon cancer. Serum-derived exosomes of right-sided colon cancer promote metastasis via overexpression of SPARC and LRG1.

Project description:ABA and calcium both function as central signals in developmental programs and environmental responses. Little is known about the way how both messengers functionally interact. Here we report that stress induced calcium signatures are essential and likely sufficient for inducing ABA accumulation in roots. Moreover, we show that calcium activated calcium sensor/kinase complexes directly phosphorylate and activate ABA responsive transcription factors. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism that allows for integrating, fine tuning and termination of hormonal and calcium signaling on the level of gene transcription.

Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death driven by biochemical and metabolic alterations resulting in oxidation within the lipid compartment. Calcium is a potent signaling molecule ascribed to diverse cellular processes including migration, neurotransmitter function, and cell death. Here we elucidate a crucial link between calcium homeostasis and ferroptotic cell death through the identification of the tetraspanin MS4A15. Ectopic MS4A15 expression specifically protects against ferroptosis by depleting endoplasmic reticulum stores. In an unexpected connection, prolonged calcium dysregulation stimulates fundamental remodeling to ferroptosis-resistant monounsaturated and plasmalogen lipid species. Application of this discovery revealed that augmenting luminal calcium sensitizes cancer cell lines previously refractory to ferroptosis. This finding provides a unique mechanistic basis for ferroptosis sensitivity and resolves a long-standing query into the role of calcium in oxidative cell death. Manipulating calcium homeostasis offers an unprecedented strategy for overcoming therapy resistance in cancer.
