Project description:Purpose: Because dexamethasone remains a key component of myeloma therapy, we wished to examine the correlation of baseline and relapse expression levels of the glucocorticoid receptor gene NR3C1 with other clinical features. Experimental Design: We investigated the clinical impact of gene expression profiling (GEP)–derived expression levels of NR3C1 in 351 patients with GEP data available at baseline and in 130 with data available at relapse, among 668 subjects accrued to Total Therapy 2 (TT2). The effect of the expression of NR3C1 at baseline (previously published under GSE2685) and at relapse was analyzed in the context of treatment (thalidomide vs. no thalidomide) and other clinical parameters.

Project description:Overexpression of STAT5B_N642H mutant results in the ligand-independent activation of STAT5 signaling and STAT5 transcriptional activity, without affecting MAPK-ERK or PI3K-AKT signalling pathways. Overexpression of wild type (WT) STAT5B did not activate STAT5 signaling . Treatment with prednisolone boosts the expression of STAT5_N642H regulated genes, whereas NR3C1 can bind at gene loci of STAT5 regulated genes. Despite the steroid-enhanced upregulation of anti-apoptotic targets, the mutant cell line remaind sensitive to steroid treatment. We studied potential co-regulation and co-binding of NR3C1 and STAT5B in STAT5B_N642H and STAT5B_WT overexpressing cells, treated and untreated with prednisolone.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders; however, prolonged use of glucocorticoids results in side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. Compound A (CpdA), identified as a selective NR3C1/glucocorticoid receptor (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) modulator, exhibits an inflammation-suppressive effect, largely in the absence of detrimental side effects. To understand the mechanistic differences between the classic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and CpdA, we looked for proteins oppositely regulated in bone marrow-derived macrophages using an unbiased proteomics approach. We found that the autophagy receptor SQSTM1 but not NR3C1 mediates the anti-inflammatory action of CpdA. CpdA drives SQSTM1 upregulation by recruiting the NFE2L2 transcription factor to its promoter. In contrast, the classic NR3C1 ligand dexamethasone recruits NR3C1 to the Sqstm1 promoter and other NFE2L2-controlled gene promoters, resulting in gene downregulation. Both DEX and CpdA induce autophagy, with marked different autophagy characteristics and morphology. Suppression of LPS-induced Il6 and Ccl2 genes by CpdA in macrophages is hampered upon Sqstm1 silencing, confirming that SQSTM1 is essential for the anti-inflammatory capacity of CpdA, at least in this cell type. Together, these results demonstrate how off-target mechanisms of selective NR3C1 ligands may contribute to a more efficient anti-inflammatory therapy.

Project description:Environmental factors, including substance abuse and stress, cause long-lasting changes in the regulation of gene expression in the brain via epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation. We examined genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in the prefrontal cortex (PFC, BA10) of 25 pairs of control and individuals with AUD, using the Infinium® MethylationEPICBeadChip. We identified 5,254 differentially methylated CpGs (pnominal<0.005). Bioinformatic analyses highlighted biological processes containing genes related to stress adaptation, including the glucocorticoid receptor (encoded by NR3C1). Considering that alcohol is a stressor, we focused our attention on differentially methylated regions of the NR3C1 gene and validated the differential methylation of several genes in the NR3C1 network. We observed that chronic alcohol drinking results in a significant increased methylation of the NR3C1 exon variant 1H, with a particular increase in the levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine over 5-methylcytosine. These changes in DNA methylation were associated with reduced NR3C1 mRNA and protein levels in PFC as well as other cortico-limbic regions of AUD subjects when compared to controls. Furthermore, we show that the expression of several stress-responsive genes (e.g., CRF, POMC, FKBP5) is altered in the PFC of AUD subjects. These stress-response genes were also changed in the hippocampus, a region that is highly susceptible to stress. These data suggest that alcohol-dependent aberrant DNA methylation of NR3C1 and consequent changes in other stress-related genes might be fundamental in the pathophysiology of AUD and lay the groundwork for treatments targeting the epigenetic mechanisms regulating NR3C1 in AUD.

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are important hormones involved in the regulation of multiple physiologic functions. GCs are also widely used in anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant drugs. GCs are synthesized by the adrenal cortex as part of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and also by intestinal epithelial cells, among other peripheral sites. GCs are one of the main therapy choices for the exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease, but they are not useful to prolong remission, and development of tolerance with secondary treatment failure is frequent. Thus, GC actions at the intestinal epithelial level are of great importance, both physiologically and pharmacologically. We generated a tamoxifen-inducible nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1 (NR3C1)ΔIEC mouse model to study the effects of GCs on epithelial cells in vivo. Nr3c1 deletion in epithelial cells of the small intestine and colon was associated with limited colonic inflammation at 1 wk postdeletion, involving augmented epithelial proliferation and mucus production, plus local and systemic immune/inflammatory changes. This phenotype regressed substantially, but not completely, after 2 wk. The mechanism may involve augmented inflammatory signaling by epithelial cells or defective barrier function. We conclude that the epithelial GC receptor plays a significant role in colonic homeostasis in basal conditions, but its deficiency can be compensated in the short term. Future studies are required to assess the impact of Nr3c1 deletion in other conditions such as experimental colitis.-Aranda, C. J., Arredondo-Amador, M., Ocón, B., Lavín, J. L., Aransay, A. M., Martínez-Augustin, O., Sánchez de Medina, F. Intestinal epithelial deletion of the glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1 alters expression of inflammatory mediators and barrier function.

Project description:In zebrafish, ovulated oocytes contain both cortisol deposited from the maternal circulation and maternal mRNA for the glucocorticoid receptor (gr mRNA), which is spread as granular structures throughout the central ooplasm. At the 1-cell stage (0.2 hpf), this transcript is relocated by streamers in the blastodisc area and equally partitioned among blastomeres. At 15 hpf, it is replaced by the zygotic transcript. Morpholino knockdown was applied to block translation (grATG1MO or MO2-nr3c1 and grATG2MO or MO3-nr3c1) of both maternal and zygotic gr transcripts, while a missplicing morpholino (grmismMO or MO4-nr3c1) was used to block post-transcriptionally the zygotic transcript alone. MO2-nr3c1 and MO3-nr3c1 (but not MO4-nr3c1) treatment produced craniofacial and caudal malformations in 1-dpf embryos and 5-dpf larvae, which were also affected by pericardial oedema, persistent yolk sac, reduced subintestinal veins, altered neurogenesis and uninflated swim bladder. Such effects were rescued with trout gr2 mRNA. Pangenomic microarray analysis revealed that 114 and 37 highly expressed transcripts were up- and down-regulated, respectively, by maternal GR protein deficiency in 5-hpf embryos. Similar alterations were found at 10 hpf. These effects were confirmed by real-time PCR of 2 up- (casp8, grp1 and igf2a) and 1 down-regulated transcripts (mcm6) evaluated at 4, 8 and 12 hpf. As the contents of transcripts were modified already at 4 hpf, it seems that the lack of GR affects both ways the molecular machinery for the degradation of maternal mRNAs. These results indicate that the maternal gr transcript participates in the maternal programming of zebrafish development. MO2-nr3c1 morphants were compared with MO2-nr3c1-5m morphants at 5 hpf and 10 hpf. MO2-nr3c1 morphants were compared with wild type (WT) at 5 hpf and 10 hpf. MO2-nr3c1 is a morpholino selected to knockdown translation of gr mRNA. MO2-nr3c1-5m is a specific control morpholino.

Project description:B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, with long-term overall survival rates of 80%. However, B-ALL harboring rearrangements of the MLL gene (also known as KTM2A), hereinafter termed MLLr B-ALL, is frequently seen in infants and is associated with poor 5-year survival (<30%), frequent relapses, and refractoriness to glucocorticoids (GC). GC are an essential part of the treatment backbone for B-ALL and GC resistance is a major clinical predictor of poor outcome. Unraveling the mechanisms of GC resistance in MLLr B-ALL is, therefore, crucial to guide therapeutic strategies that deepen response after induction therapy. Neuron-glial antigen-2 (NG2) expression is a hallmark of MLLr B-ALL and is minimally expressed in healthy hematopoietic cells. We recently reported that NG2 expression is associated with poor prognosis and that anti-NG2 immunotherapy strongly reduces/delays relapse in xenograft models of MLLr B-ALL. However, despite its contribution to MLLr B-ALL pathogenesis and its diagnostic utility, the role of NG2 in MLLr-mediated leukemogenesis/chemoresistance remains elusive. We show here that NG2 is an epigenetically regulated direct target gene of the leukemic MLL-AF4 fusion protein. NG2 negatively regulates the expression of the GC receptor NR3C1, conferring GC chemoresistance to MLLr B-ALL cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NG2 interacts with FLT3 to render ligand-independent activation of FLT3 signaling (a hallmark of MLLr B-ALL) and downregulation of NR3C1 via AP-1-mediated transrepression. Collectively, our study elucidates the role of NG2 in GC resistance in MLLr B-ALL through a FLT3/AP-1-mediated downregulation of NR3C1, providing novel therapeutic avenues for MLLr B-ALL.

Project description:Environmental cues during gestation could exert transgenerational effects on behavior mainly through changes in epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation. However, the role of histone modifications in the inheritance of acquired phenotypes remains largely unknown in mammals. Here, we report that gestational choline supplementation (GCS) in maternal mice exerts anxiolytic effects on male offspring across 2 generations. Correspondingly, GCS-induced H3K9 hyperacetylation in the Nr3c1 promoter in male hippocampus leads to upregulation of Nr3c1 and its encoded protein, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), across 2 generations through the male germline. Furthermore, inhibition of CREB-binding protein (CBP) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) function restored GCS-induced epigenetic and behavioral alterations, suggesting that CBP function as a HAT to increase Nr3c1 expression through H3K9 hyperacetylation. Thus, GCS-induced GR upregulation through CBP-mediated H3K9 hyperacetylation in the Nr3c1 promoter is associated with anxiolytic behavior in male offspring, highlighting the role of histone modification in acquired phenotypes across mammalian generations.
