Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate cardiomyocyte growth and apoptosis in response to extracellular stimulation, but the downstream effectors that mediate their pathophysiological effects remain poorly understood. We determined the targets and role of p38 MAPK in the heart in vivo by using local adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of constitutively active upstream kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3b (MKK3bE) and wild-type p38α in rats. DNA microarray analysis of animals with cardiac-specific overexpression of p38 MAPK revealed that 264 genes were upregulated more than 2-fold including multiple genes controlling cell division, cell signaling, inflammation, adhesion and transcription. Several previously unknown p38 target genes were found. Using gel mobility shift assays we identified several cardiac transcription factors that were directly activated by p38 MAPK. Finally, we determined the functional significance of the altered cardiac gene expression profile by histological analysis and echocardiographic measurements, which indicated that p38 MAPK overexpression induced gene expression results in cell proliferation, myocardial inflammation and fibrosis. In conclusion, we defined the novel target genes and transcription factors as well as the functional effects of p38 MAPK in the heart. Expression profiling of p38 MAPK overexpression identified cell cycle regulatory and inflammatory genes critical for pathological processes in the adult heart. Keywords: Gene transfer

Project description:Bis-2-chloroethyl sulfide (sulfur mustard, SM) is a potent alkylating agent and vesicant. Exposure to SM results in activation of numerous signaling cascades, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. These pathways include the Erk, p38, and JNK pathways, which are involved in cell growth, inflammation, and stress signaling. However, the precise roles of these pathways in SM toxicity have not been fully elucidated. We used Western blotting and microarray analysis to examine the activation and role of each pathway following SM exposure in primary human epidermal keratinocytes. Western blotting revealed increased phosphorylation of p38 and JNK following SM exposure; however, phosphorylation of Erk was equivocal, suggesting that growth conditions may impact activation of Erk by SM. We used pharmacologic inhibitors to target each MAPK and then compared the gene expression profiles to identify SM-induced gene networks regulated by each MAPK. Cells were pretreated with 10 µM SB 203580 (p38 inhibitor), PD 98059 (Erk inhibitor), or SP 600125 (JNK inhibitor) 60 minutes before exposure to 200 µM SM. Cells were harvested at 1h, 4h, and 8h post-exposure, and RNA was extracted for synthesis of microarray probes. Probes were hybridized to Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 arrays for gene expression profiling. Analysis of variance was performed to identify genes significantly modulated due to pharmacologic inhibition in SM-exposed cells. Pathway mapping confirmed alterations in SM-induced Erk, JNK, and p38 MAPK signaling due to pharmacologic inhibition. SM-induced expression of IL-8, IL-6, and TNF-alpha was decreased by p38 MAPK inhibition, but not by inhibition of other MAPKs. Based on the number of significant pathways mapped to each MAPK in the presence and absence of inhibitors, the p38 MAPK pathway appeared to be the MAPK pathway most responsive to SM exposure. Interestingly, pathway mapping of the microarray data identified potential cross-talk between MAPK signaling pathways and other pathways involved in SM-induced signaling. Mining of these results will increase our understanding of the role of MAPK pathways in SM-induced signal transduction and may identify potential therapeutic targets for medical countermeasure development.

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes respond to extracellular influences by activating cytoplasmic signal transduction pathways that change the transcriptional profiles of affected cells. To define responses to two such pathways, p38 and ERK, we used SB203580 and PD98059 as specific inhibitors, and identified the regulated genes after 1, 4, 24 and 48 hrs, using Affymetrix’ Hu133Av2 microarrays. Additionally, we compared genes specifically regulated by p38 and ERKs with those regulated by JNK and by all three pathways simultaneously. We find that the p38 pathway induces the expression of extracellular matrix and proliferation-associated genes, while suppressing microtubule-associated genes; the ERK pathway induces the expression of nuclear envelope and mRNA splicing proteins, while suppressing steroid synthesis and mitochondrial energy production enzymes. Both pathways promote epidermal differentiation and induce feedback inactivation of MAPK signaling. c-FOS, SRY and N-Myc appear to be the principal targets of the p38 pathway, Elk-1 SAP1 and HLH2 of ERK, while FREAC-4, ARNT and USF are common to both. The results for the first time comprehensively define the genes regulated by the p38 and ERK pathways in epidermal keratinocytes and suggest a list of targets potentially useful in therapeutic interventions. Human epidermal keratinocytes are grown in Keratinocyte Serum-Free Medium (Gibco) supplemented with 0.05 mg/ml bovine pituitary extract, 2.5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 0.09 mM CalCl2 and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (KGM). They are switched to Keratinocyte Serum Free-Media (Gibco) supplemented only with 1% penicillin/streptomycin (KBM) 24 h prior to commencing experiments. A set is left as controls, others treated with 5 uM JNK inhibitor SP600125, 15 uM p38 inhibitor SB203580, or 50 um ERK inhibitor PD98059. Timecourse of treated and parellel control samples over a 48 hr period was performed.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, drastically modifies the cells that it infects. One such effect is the activation of the host p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which plays a major role in inflammation pathways that are dysregulated in severe COVID-19 cases. Inhibition of p38/MAPK activity in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells reduces both cytokine production and viral replication. Here, we applied a systems biology approach to better understand interactions between the p38/MAPK pathway and SARS-CoV-2 in human lung epithelial cells. We found several components of the p38/MAPK pathway positively and negatively impact SARS-CoV-2 infection and that p38ß is a required host factor for SARS-CoV-2 that acts by promoting viral protein translation in a manner that prevents innate immune sensing. Furthermore, we combined chemical and genetic perturbations of p38ß with quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify novel, putative p38ß substrates in an unbiased manner, with broad relevance beyond SARS-CoV-2 biology.

Project description:Covering denuded dermal surface after injury requires migration, proliferation and differentiation of skin keratinocytes. To clarify the major traits controlling these intermingled biological events, we surveyed the genomic modifications occurring during the course of a scratch closure of cultured human keratinocytes. Using a DNA microarray approach, we report the identification of 161 new markers of epidermal repair. Expression data, combined with functional analysis performed with specific inhibitors of ERK, p38[MAPK] and PI3 kinases, demonstrate that kinase pathways exert very selective functions by precisely controlling the expression of specific genes. Inhibition of the ERK pathway totally blocks the wound closure and inactivates many early transcription factors and EGF-type growth factors. P38[MAPK] inhibition only delays “healing”, probably in line with the control of genes involved in the propagation of injury-initiated signalling. In contrast, PI3 kinase inhibition accelerates the scratch closure and potentiates the scratch-dependent stimulation of three genes related to epithelial cell transformation, namely HAS3, HBEGF and Ets1. Our results define in vitro human keratinocyte wound closure as a reparation process resulting from a fine balance between positive signals controlled by ERK and p38[MAPK], and negative ones triggered off by PI3 kinase. The perturbation of any of these pathways might lead to dysfunction in the healing process, as those observed in pathological wounding phenotypes, such as hypertrophic scars or keloids.

Project description:ATRA is an active metabolite of vitamin A that is frequently used for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients. Despite the success of this treatment, some APL patients are refractory or relapse. This emphasis the need for new therapeutic strategies aiming to improve the anti-cancer effect of ATRA. We and other have previously shown that autophagy is activated during ATRA-induced granulocytic differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells. Although the transcription effect of ATRA on autophagy has been well-documented, little is known on the post-transcription/ post-translational regulation autophagy in response to ATRA. Given the importance of calcium ions in the control of autophagy, we hypothesized that calcium ions are involved in the initiation of autophagy by ATRA in APL cells. We thus examined how ATRA regulate intracellular calcium and sense perturbation of Ca2+ responses to autophagy, differentiation and cell death in APL cells.

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a hematological disease characterized by a balanced reciprocal translocation that leads to the synthesis of the oncogenic fusion protein PML-RARα. APL is mainly managed by a differentiation therapy based on the administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). However, therapy resistance, differentiation syndrome, and relapses require the development of new low-toxicity therapies based on the induction of blasts differentiation. Here, we performed a high-throughput gene expression profile of the ATRA-resistant acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cellline (aka R4) treated with a CHK1 inhibitor or DMSO as control.
