Project description:The combination of bortezomib and dexamethasone should become the reference induction treatment for multiple myeloma patients younger than 65 years. Pharmacogenomic profiles of genes involved in response to treatment may help to understand resistance. We performed gene expression profiling in 9 myeloma cell lines, incubated or not with bortezomib and dexamethasone for 6 hours. Supervised analysis identified significantly up regulated genes involved in stress responses. We focused on REDD1 a gene known to be rapidly induced by a wide variety of stress conditions and DNA damages. REDD1 expression was early and highly induced after bortezomib exposure. REDD1 induction was associated with the dephosphorylation of P70 S6 ribosomal kinase (P70S6K), a key substrate of mTOR. These effects were dependent upon cell line. REDD1 was overexpressed within two hours in bortezomib resistant cell lines in association with a cell size decrease. In sensitive cell lines, neither REDD1 induction nor morphological changes occurred. RNA interference mediated inhibition of REDD1 induction abrogates P70S6K dephosphorylation, early transitory cell size reduction and enhances sensitivity to bortezomib - dexamethasone. Our results suggest that mTOR regulation could be a resistance mechanism mediated by REDD1 expression in myeloma cells. Nine cell lines of multiple myeloma studied, incubated or not with bortezomib and dexamethasone, examined with spotted cDNA nylon membrane. Cell line and Code : JJN3 = Vel_1x; L363 = Vel_2x; LP1 = Vel_3x; MDN = Vel_4x; NCI = Vel_5x; RPMI = Vel_6x; SBN = Vel_7x; U266 = Vel_8x; XG1 = Vel_9x.

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of stromal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and stromal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Recent animals models generated in our lab demonstrate clinical phenotypes seen in human fibrotic disease. The mouse model of transforming growth factor-? (TGF?)-induced fibrosis include conditionally expressing TGF? in the lung epithelium under control of the CCSP promoter driving rtTA expression (CCSP/TGF?). This allow the TGF? is only expressed in airway and alveolar epithelial cells and only when mice fed doxycycline (Dox). Similar to PF in humans, TGF? mice on Dox developed a progressive and extensive adventitial, interstitial and pleural fibrosis with a decline in lung mechanics. Thus, the TGF? transgenic mouse is a powerful model to determine lung cell-specific molecular signatures involved in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine changes in the transcriptome during TGF?-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that several pro-fibrotic genes increased in the lungs of TGF? mice. This study demonstrates that WT1 network gene changes associated with fibrosis and myfibroblast accumulation and thus may serve as a critical regulator fibrotic lung disease. mRNA profiles of CCSP/- and CCSP/TGFalpha mice treated with Dox

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a group of chronic interstitial pulmonary diseases characterized by an inexorable decline in lung function with limited treatment options. The abnormal expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in profibrotic macrophages is linked to severe pulmonary fibrosis, but the regulation mechanisms of TGF-β expression are incompletely understood. We found that decreased expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase Fbxw7 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was significantly related to the severity of pulmonary fibrosis in IPF patients. Fbxw7 is identified to be a crucial suppressing factor for pulmonary fibrosis development and progression in a mouse model induced by intratracheal bleomycin treatment. Myeloid cell-specific Fbxw7 deletion increases pulmonary monocyte-macrophages accumulation in lung tissue, and eventually promotes bleomycin-induced collagen deposition and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Notably, the expression of TGF-β in profibrotic macrophages was significantly upregulated in myeloid cell-specific Fbxw7 deletion mice after bleomycin treatment. C-Jun has long been regarded as a critical transcription factor of Tgfb1, we clarified that Fbxw7 inhibits the expression of TGF-β in profibrotic macrophages by interacting with c-Jun and mediating its K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation. These findings provide insight into the role of Fbxw7 in the regulation of macrophages during the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activation contributes to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) pathogenesis and drug resistance. However, the use of mTOR inhibitors as single agents have shown limited clinical efficacy in relation with drug activation of feedback loops. Selective PI3K inhibition or dual PI3K/mTOR catalytic inhibition are different therapeutic approaches developed to achieve effective pathway blockage. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor in primary MCL cells. We found that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor modulated angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness and cytokine signaling compared to a mTOR inhibitor and a pan-PI3K inhibitor in MCL. We used microarrays to compare the effect of these three compounds in MCL and identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes modulated by each compound. Global RNA expression in primary cells from two MCL patients treated with a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor for 8 hours

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease, and the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our findings demonstrated that pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) promoted fibrosis progression by directly interacting with Smad7 and reinforcing transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) signaling. Total PKM2 expression and the portion of the tetrameric form elevated in lungs and fibroblasts were derived from mice with bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Pkm2 deletion markedly alleviated BLM-induced fibrosis progression, myofibroblast differentiation, and TGF-β1 signaling activation. Further study showed that PKM2 tetramer enhanced TGF-β1 signaling by directly binding with Smad7 on its MH2 domain, and thus interfered with the interaction between Smad7 and TGF-β type I receptor (TβR1), decreased TβR1 ubiquitination, and stabilized TβR1. Pharmacologically enhanced PKM2 tetramer by TEPP-46 promoted BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis, while tetramer disruption by compound 3k alleviated fibrosis progression. Our results demonstrate how PKM2 regulates TGF-β1 signaling and is a key factor in fibrosis progression.

Project description:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is a master regulator of protein synthesis that couples nutrient sensing to cell growth and cancer. However, the downstream translationally regulated nodes of gene expression that may direct cancer development are poorly characterized. Employing ribosome profiling we uncover specialized translation of the prostate cancer genome by oncogenic mTOR signaling, revealing a remarkably specific repertoire of genes involved in cell proliferation, metabolism, and invasion. We extend these findings by functionally characterizing a class of translationally controlled pro-invasion mRNAs that we show direct prostate cancer invasion and metastasis downstream of oncogenic mTOR signaling. We further develop a clinically relevant ATP site inhibitor of mTOR, INK128, which reprograms this gene expression signature with therapeutic benefit for prostate cancer metastasis, for which there is presently no cure. Together, these findings significantly extend our understanding of how the M-bM-^@M-^\cancerousM-bM-^@M-^] translation machinery steers specific cancer cell behaviors and may be therapeutically targeted. Examination of mRNA translation in human prostate cancer upon differential inhibition of the mTOR signaling pathway.
