Caffeine modulates immunoproteasome activity and content in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells

ABSTRACT: Proteasomes hydrolyze most intracellular proteins. Immunoproteasome is a specific form of proteasome implicated in inflammation, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Modulation of immunoproteasome activity and content is a promising direction for the management of socially important pathologies. Using previously obtained reporter colorectal cancer cell lines, we tested how various commonly used compounds including ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid, vitamin C, caffeine and others, affect immunoproteasome expression. Methods: Immunoproteasome subunit expression was assessed by flow cytometry, qPCR and Western blot. Proteasome activity was tested using fluorogenic substrates and the activity probe. Transcriptome analysis was performed to identify patterns of gene expression changes. Results: Among the tested compounds caffeine was the only drug that revealed modest reduction in quantity of immunoproteasomes. The effect of caffeine on immunoproteasomes varied between cell lines and was stronger as a result of prolonged treatment. The reduction of immunoproteasome content in cells treated with caffeine coincided with decreased expression of immunoproteasome subunits and downregulation of Nrf3 transcription factor and a PAC4 proteasome assembly chaperone. Moreover, decreased expression of immunoproteasome subunits in cells treated with caffeine coincided with the reduction of oxidative stress levels. Caffeine did not affect the degradation of immunoproteasomes by autophagy. Conclusions: Modulation of immunoproteasome expression by caffeine might help to optimize existing and develop novel strategies for the treatment of colorectal cancer and several autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Objective: In idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) infiltration of immune cells into muscle and upregulation of MHC-I expression implies increased antigen presentation and involvement of the proteasome system. To decipher the role of immunoproteasomes in myositis, we investigated individual cell types and muscle tissues and focused on possible immune triggers. Methods: Expression of constitutive (PSMB5, -6, -7) and corresponding immunoproteasomal subunits (PSMB8, -9, -10) was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR in muscle biopsies and sorted peripheral blood cells of patients with IIM, non-inflammatory myopathies (NIM) and healthy donors (HD). Protein analysis in muscle biopsies was performed by western blot. Affymetrix HG-U133 platform derived transcriptome data from biopsies of different muscle diseases and from immune cell types as well as monocyte stimulation experiments were used for validation, coregulation and coexpression analyses. Results: Real-time RT-PCR revealed significantly increased expression of immunoproteasomal subunits (PSMB8/-9/-10) in DC, monocytes and CD8+ T-cells in IIM. In muscle biopsies, the immunosubunits were elevated in IIM compared to NIM and exceeded levels of matched blood samples. Proteins of PSMB8 and -9 were found only in IIM but not NIM muscle biopsies. Reanalysis of 78 myositis and 20 healthy muscle transcriptomes confirmed these results and revealed involvement of the antigen processing and presentation pathway. Comparison with reference profiles of sorted immune cells and healthy muscle confirmed upregulation of PSMB8 and -9 in myositis biopsies beyond infiltration related changes. This upregulation correlated highest with STAT1, IRF1 and IFNM-NM-3 expression. Elevation of T-cell specific transcripts in active IIM muscles was accompanied by increased expression of DC and monocyte marker genes and thus reflects the cell type specific involvement observed in peripheral blood. Conclusions: Immunoproteasomes seem to indicate IIM activity and suggest that dominant involvement of antigen processing and presentation may qualify these diseases exemplarily for the evolving therapeutic concepts of immunoproteasome specific inhibition. Investigation of constitutive and immunoproteasomal subunit expression in muscle tissue of patients with inflammatory and non-inflammatory myopathies These transcriptomes were used as reference signatures of different immune cell types in order to estimate the contribution of immune cell transcripts to the muscle transcriptomes investigated in the datasets GSE2044, GSE3112, GSE5370, GSE39454, GSE3307, GSE13205, GSE10685.
