Project description:Environmental stresses that disrupt protein homeostasis induce phosphorylation of eIF2, triggering repression of global protein synthesis coincident with preferential translation of ATF4, a transcriptional activator of the Integrated stress response (ISR). Depending on the extent of protein disruption, ATF4 may not be able to restore proteostatic control and instead switch to a terminal outcome that features elevated expression of the transcription factor CHOP (GADD153/DDIT3). The focus of this study was to define the mechanisms by which CHOP directs gene regulatory networks that determine cell fate. We find that in response to proteasome inhibition, CHOP induces the expression of a collection of genes encoding transcription regulators, including ATF5, which is preferentially translated during eIF2 phosphorylation. Transcriptional expression of ATF5 is directly activated by both CHOP and ATF4. Knock-down of ATF5 increased cell survival in response to proteasome inhibition, supporting the idea that both ATF5 and CHOP have pro-apoptotic functions. Transcriptome analyses of ATF5-dependent genes revealed targets involved in apoptosis, including, NOXA, which is important for inducing cell death during proteasome inhibition. This study suggests that the ISR features a feed-forward loop of stress induced transcriptional regulators, each subject to transcriptional and translational control that can switch cell fate towards apoptosis. 8 plates (10cm) of WT and and 8 plates (10cm) of ATF5-KD MEF cells were subject to no stress (4 each for a total of 8) or treated for 8 hours with 1uM MG132 (4 each for a total of 8). Unstressed cells were harvested at the same time as the stressed cells

Project description:We have found that the expression pattern of Atf5 is highly restricted to the olfactory system, strongly suggesting that Atf5 is an olfactory sensory neuron-specific transcription factor. To test this possiblity, we compared gene expression profiles in olfactory epithelium (septa and turbinates) from Atf5+/+ and Atf5-/- mice. Olfactory septa and turbinates were dissected from Atf5+/+ and Atf5-/- P0 pups from different litters (n=3 for each genotype) and pooled into a single sample. Three independent samples were prepared for each genotype.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death essential for the maintenance of homeostasis and the removal of potentially damaged cells in multicellular organisms. By binding its cognate membrane receptor, TNF receptor type 1 (TNF-R1), the proinflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) activates pro-apoptotic signaling via caspase activation, but at the same time also stimulates nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB)-mediated survival pathways. Differential dose-response relationships of these two major TNF signaling pathways have been described experimentally and using mathematical modeling. However, the quantitative analysis of the complex interplay between pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways is an open question as it is challenging for several reasons: the overall signaling network is complex, various time scales are present, and cells respond quantitatively and qualitatively in a heterogeneous manner.
RESULTS:
This study analyzes the complex interplay of the crosstalk of TNF-R1 induced pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways based on an experimentally validated mathematical model. The mathematical model describes the temporal responses on both the single cell level as well as the level of a heterogeneous cell population, as observed in the respective quantitative experiments using TNF-R1 stimuli of different strengths and durations. Global sensitivity of the heterogeneous population was quantified by measuring the average gradient of time of death versus each population parameter. This global sensitivity analysis uncovers the concentrations of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3, and their respective inhibitors BAR and XIAP, as key elements for deciding the cell's fate. A simulated knockout of the NF-kappaB-mediated anti-apoptotic signaling reveals the importance of this pathway for delaying the time of death, reducing the death rate in the case of pulse stimulation and significantly increasing cell-to-cell variability.
CONCLUSIONS:
Cell ensemble modeling of a heterogeneous cell population including a global sensitivity analysis presented here allowed us to illuminate the role of the different elements and parameters on apoptotic signaling. The receptors serve to transmit the external stimulus; procaspases and their inhibitors control the switching from life to death, while NF-kappaB enhances the heterogeneity of the cell population. The global sensitivity analysis of the cell population model further revealed an unexpected impact of heterogeneity, i.e. the reduction of parametric sensitivity.

Project description:The transcriptional response to CDDP of three ovarian cancer cell lines was studied. These lines show different genetic profiles and display different susceptibilities to CDDP. The time and doses that resulted in the apoptotic death of each cell line was identified and used to study the expression profiles associated to CDDP-induced cell death in each cell line.

Project description:BMI1 is a polycomb protein and its overexpression has been correlated with cancer development and aggressiveness. We previously reported that v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma-derived homolog (MYCN)-induced BMI1 positively regulated neuroblastoma (NB) cell proliferation via the transcriptional suppression of tumor suppressors in NB cells. In order to evaluate the potential of BMI1 as a new target for NB therapy, we herein examined the effects of BMI1 reductions on NB cell differentiation and apoptotic NB cell death. BMI1 knockdown (KD) up to 7 days in NB cells significantly induced their differentiation. BMI1 depletion up to 14 days significantly induced apoptotic NB cell death along with the activation of p53, increases in p73, and induction of p53 family downstream molecules. BMI1 depletion in vivo markedly suppressed NB xenograft tumor growth. A pathological analysis using the TUNEL assay indicated the induction of apoptotic cell death. BMI1 reductions activated ATM and increased γ-H2AX in NB cells. Importantly, these DNA damage signals and apoptotic cell death were not canceled by transduction of polycomb group molecules EZH2 and RING1B. Further, EZH2 or RING1B knockdown could not induce apoptotic NB cell death at the same level of BMI1 KD. Together, BMI1 appears to be a promising target of molecular therapy for NB tumors and our report clarified, for the first time, the shared role of PcG proteins in DNA damage response of NB cells.

Project description:Thymus and spleen, in contrast to liver, are radiosensitive tissues in which p53-dependent apoptosis is triggered after whole body radiation in vivo. Combined RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses of radiation-treated mouse organs identifies both shared and tissue-specific p53 transcriptional responses. As expected, the p53 targets shared amongst thymus and spleen are enriched in apoptotic targets. Surprisingly, the inability to upregulate these genes in the liver is not due to reduced gene occupancy. Use of an engineered mouse model shows that deletion of the C-terminus of p53 can confer radiation-induced expression of p53 apoptotic targets in the liver with concomitant increased cell death. Global RNA-seq analysis reveals an additional role of the C-terminus being also needed for transcriptional activation of liver-specific p53 targets. It is hypothesized that both suppression of apoptotic gene expression combined with enhanced activation of liver-specific targets confers tissue-specific radio-resistance.
