Project description:SIRT6 is a member of a highly conserved family of NAD+-dependent deacetylases with various roles in metabolism, stress resistance, and life span. SIRT6- deficient mice develop normally but succumb to a lethal hypoglycemia early in life; however, the mechanism underlying this hypoglycemia remained unclear. Here, we demonstrate that SIRT6 functions as a histone H3K9 deacetylase to control the expres- sion of multiple glycolytic genes. Specifically, SIRT6 appears to function as a corepressor of the transcrip- tion factor Hif1a, a critical regulator of nutrient stress responses. Consistent with this notion, SIRT6-defi- cient cells exhibit increased Hif1a activity and show increased glucose uptake with upregulation of glycolysis and diminished mitochondrial respiration. Our studies uncover a role for the chromatin factor SIRT6 as a master regulator of glucose homeostasis and may provide the basis for novel therapeutic approaches against metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. RNA was prepared from muscle of three SIRT6 wild type and KO mice, and hybridized onto an Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.

Project description:Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) are three phthalates commonly found in consumer products, including the plastic coating of pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Folliculogenesis, a tightly regulated process occurring in the ovary, is the maturation of an immature primordial follicle to a mature antral follicle. Follicles house the oocyte and antral follicles specifically play a crucial role in ovarian steroidogenesis and ovulation. DBP, BBP, and DEHP have been associated with inhibited antral follicle growth in vitro, decreased ovulation rates in vitro, and decreased antral follicle counts in women. However, little is known about the effects of a three-phthalate mixture on antral follicles in vivo. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a human relevant mixture of DBP, BBP, and DEHP on ovarian follicles through proteome profiling analysis. CD-1 female mice (60 days old) were pipet fed tocopherol stripped corn oil (vehicle control) only or a phthalate mixture (52% DBP, 36% DEHP, and 12% BBP dissolved in vehicle) which modeled human follicular fluid concentrations. The mice were treated with 32µg/kg/day (PHT Mix 32; cumulative estimate in general population) and 500µg/kg/day (PHT Mix 500; cumulative estimate in occupationally exposed individuals) for 10 consecutive days. Proteome profiling of antral follicles (>250µm) was performed via label-free tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 5,417 antral follicle proteins were identified in the three groups, of which 194 were differentially abundant between the vehicle and PHT Mix 32 group, and 136 between the vehicle and PHT Mix 500 group. Gene ontology analysis revealed that the two treatments of the phthalate mixture upregulate and downregulate distinctive processes, supporting non-monotonic effects of phthalates on the antral follicle proteome. Taken together, these results reveal that a human relevant mixture of DBP, BBP, and DEHP alters the antral follicle proteome and merits further evaluation to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which phthalates cause negative reproductive outcomes.

Project description:This study aimed to reveal biological pathways involved in neurodevelopmental disorders after co-exposure to phthalates and metals by using a multi-omics analysis in a human neuronal cell line, SH-SY5Y. Mixtures of phthalates (DEHP, DiNP, BBzP) and metals (lead, methylmercury, total mercury, cadmium) were selected as they were the most abundant ones in the REPRO_PL and PHIME cohorts, respectively, in the frame of the EU project HEALS, investigating if exposure to those pollutants could be associated to neurodevelopmental disorders in children across Europe. Their concentrations in the human brain were calculated at the INTEGRA computational platform. The differentiated cell line was exposed to this mixture and a ten-times higher one for 4 days. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were performed and the data analyzed using advanced bioinformatics tools. Co-exposure to phthalates and metals leads to the perturbation of various metabolic pathways associated with neuronal diseases. The proteomic data showed that a number of neurological diseases are statistically associated with the exposure of the SH-SY5Y cells to the mixtures of pollutants. In conclusion, this study reveals that co-exposure to phthalates and metals disturbs biochemical processes in the brain model, which could be associated with clinical neurodevelopmental perturbations in cohorts.

Project description:Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are widely used for gene therapy, providing treatment for diseases caused by absent or defective genes. Despite the success of gene therapy, AAV-manufacturing is still challenging, with production yields being limited. With increased patient demand, improvements in host cell productivity through various engineering strategies will be necessary. Here, we study the host cell proteome of AAV5 producing HEK293 cells using reversed phase nano liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Rela-tive label-free quantitation (LFQ) was performed allowing a comparison of transfected vs. un-transfected cells. Gene ontology enrichment and pathway analysis revealed differential expres-sion of proteins involved in fundamental cellular processes such as metabolism, proliferation and cell death. Furthermore, changes in expression of proteins involved in endocytosis and lysosomal degradation were observed. Our data provides highly valuable insights into cellular mechanisms involved during recombinant AAV production by HEK293 cells thus potentially enabling further improvements of gene therapy product manufacturing.

Project description:Thyroid hormones (TH), thyroxine (T4) and 3, 5, 3’-triiodothyronine (T3), play crucial roles in regulation of growth, development and metabolism in vertebrates and are targets for endocrine disruptive agents. Perturbations in TH action can contribute to the development of disease states and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing a high throughput screen using TH-dependent metamorphosis of the Xenopus laevis tadpole as an assay platform. Currently this methodology relies on external morphological endpoints and changes in central thyroid axis parameters. However, exposure-related changes in gene expression in TH-sensitive tissue types that occur over shorter time frames have the potential to augment this screen. Using a combination of cDNA array and real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) analyses, this study identifies molecular markers in tissues peripheral to the central thyroid axis. We examine the hindlimb and tail of tadpoles up to 96 hours of continuous exposure to T3, T4, methimazole, propylthiouracil, or perchlorate. Several novel biomarker candidates are indicated that include transcripts encoding importin, RNA helicase II/Gu, and defender against death protein, DAD1. In combination with previously-identified biomarker candidates, these transcripts will greatly augment the predictive and diagnostic power of the Xenopus metamorphosis assay for perturbation of TH action.

Project description:Autophagy is a widespread physiological process in the body, which also protects the host by degrading invading pathogens and harmful substances during pathological conditions. However, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) can affect the process of autophagy by regulating the expres-sion of microRNAs (miRNAs), allowing for immune evasion. In this study, we constructed a model of a strong virulent strain (H37Rv) infection in human macrophage cell line. Following H37Rv infection, we screened 14 differentially expressed miRNAs by RNA-seq and bioinformatics. We predicted and demonstrated that miR-30c-1-3p inhibits autophagy and promotes macrophage survival by targeting ATG4B and ATG9B during the infection process.Additionally, the intervention of miR-30c-1-3p mimics resulted in an increased bacterial load in macrophages, suggesting that MTB achieves immune evasion by upregulating miR-30c-1-3p during infection. In conclusion, our study provides a valuable target for the development of host-directed anti-tuberculosis therapy as well as a new diagnostic marker.

Project description:An imbalance in thyroid hormones (THs) is associated with reversible dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Whether hypothyroidism occurs in AD brains and how it affects AD pathology remain largely unknown. Here, we find that reduced conversion of thyroxine (T4) to tri-iodothyronine (T3) in the brain by decreased iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (DIO2) leads to hippocampal hypothyroidism in early AD model mice prior to TH changes in the blood. A TH deficiency causes immune tolerance with decreased phagocytic activity in microglia, thereby aggravating AD pathology. We demonstrate that microglial ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73) is reduced in the hypothyroid state and that its inhibition contributes to immune tolerance in microglia. Thus, our data define a molecular mechanism through which decreased conversion of T4 to T3 in the early AD brain, and consequent brain hypothyroidism causes microglial dysfunction and exacerbates AD pathology.
