Project description:Deletion of Uhrf1 resulted in stage 1-specific defects during iNKT cell development. To investigate the molecular mechanism, we sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells and performed RNA-seq. By comparing gene expression profile, we found metabolic defects in Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells. The expression of CD71 (Tfrc), two subunits of CD98 (Slc3a2 and Slc7a5) and Glut3 (Slc2a3) was reduced in stage 1 iNKT cells. Besides, the downstream pathways of AKT-mTOR axis were significantly reduced. Collectively, our results suggest that Uhrf1 is required for iNKT cell development by regulating the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. We first sorted WT and Uhrf1-KO stage 1 iNKT cells, extracted the mRNA and performed RNA-seq. We then analyzed the differentially expressed genes and performed KEGG pathway analysis. We used RT-PCR to verify the expression of the key nutrient related genes (Tfrc, Slc3a2, Slc7a5 and Slc2a3) and used flow cytometry to test the protein level of metabolic related molecules. Besides, we also analyzed the expression of genes of mTOR downstream pathways to demonstrate that Uhrf1 mediated AKt-mTOR axis regulates iNKT cell development.

Project description:Development of T cells is controlled by the signal strength of the TCR. The scaffold protein Kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kDa (Kidins220) binds to the TCR; however, its role in T cell development was unknown. Here, we show that T cell-specific Kidins220 knock-out (T-KO) mice have strongly reduced invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell numbers and modest decreases in conventional T cells. Enhanced apoptosis due to increased TCR signaling in T-KO iNKT thymocytes of developmental stage 2 and 3 shows that Kidins220 downregulates TCR signaling at these stages. scRNAseq indicated that the transcription factor Aiolos is downregulated in Kidins220-deficient iNKT cells. Analysis of an Aiolos KO demonstrated that Aiolos is a downstream effector of Kidins220 during iNKT cell development. In the periphery, T-KO iNKT cells show reduced TCR signaling upon stimulation with α-galactosylceramide, suggesting that Kidins220 promotes TCR signaling in peripheral iNKT cells. Thus, Kidins220 reduces or promotes signaling dependent on the iNKT cell developmental stage.

Project description:Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, is essential for the development of new organ systems, but transcriptional control of angiogenesis remains incompletely understood. Here we report that FOXC1 is essential for retinal angiogenesis. Endothelial cell (EC)-specific loss of Foxc1 impairs retinal vascular growth and expression of Slc3a2 and Slc7a5, which encode the heterodimeric CD98 (LAT1/4F2hc) amino acid transporter and regulate the intracellular transport of essential amino acids and activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). EC-Foxc1 deficiency diminishes mTOR activity, while administration of the mTOR agonist MHY-1485 rescues perturbed retinal angiogenesis. EC-Foxc1 expression is required for retinal revascularization and resolution of neovascular tufts in a model of oxygen-induced retinopathy. Foxc1 is also indispensable for pericytes, a critical component of the blood-retina barrier during retinal angiogenesis. Our findings establish FOXC1 as a crucial regulator of retinal vessels and identify therapeutic targets for treating retinal vascular disease.

Project description:The microenvironment of solid tumors is dynamic and frequently contain pockets of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) surrounded by regions of normal oxygen levels. Indeed, a compromised vascular is a is hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, creating gradients of hypoxia. Notably, hypoxia associates with increased metastasis and poor survival in patients. Therefore, to aid therapeutic decisions and better understand hypoxia's role in cancer progression, it is critical to identify endogenous biomarkers of hypoxia to spatially phenotype oncogenic lesions in human tissue, whether precancerous, benign, or malignant. Here, we characterize the glucose transporter GLUT3/SLC2A3 as a biomarker of hypoxia prostate epithelial cells and prostate tumors. Transcriptomic analyses of hypoxic immortalized prostate epithelial cells revealed a highly significant increase in GLUT3 expression. GLUT3 upregulation was also detected by immunostaining in hypoxic prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cell lines. Additionally, GLUT3 dramatically co-localized with the hypoxia-marker pimonidazole in xenograft tumors formed from prostate cancer cells and showed distinct concentration gradients within patient-derived xenograft tumors from primary and metastatic prostate cancer. Compared to established hypoxia-response genes, GLUT1 and CA9, GLUT3 shows a higher degree of hypoxia labeling within tumor tissue and may serve as a alternative endogenous biomarker of hypoxia.

Project description:Lck-MyrAkt2 mice develop spontaneous thymic lymphomas at approximately 100-200 days of age, driven in part by a consitutatively-active AKT (due to myristoylation). mTOR Knock Down mice were crossed with Lck-MyrAkt postive mice to model the affects of decreasing mTOR activity on tumors with an activated PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway. Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice had prolonged survival compared to the Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome in thymic lymphomas between Lck-Akt positive, mTOR WT and Lck-Akt positive, mTOR KD mice. Four thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice were compared to three thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice.

SLC3A2 (4F2hc, CD98) is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein and acts as a disulfide-linked adaptor to the SLC7A5 and SLC7A11 exchangers which import essential amino acids and cystine while exporting Gln and Glu, respectively. Cancer cells often over-express SLC3A2, SLC7A5, SLC7A11 and the N-glycans branching, which support tumor progression by increasing mTOR signaling and mitigation of oxidative stress (ox-stress). Branched chain amino acids and mitigation of oxidative stress are also central to aging. Furthermore, the evolution of N-glycosylation sites on SLC3A adaptors and SLC7A transporters suggests a critical but poorly understood role for N-glycans. We have profiled the N-glycan structures at each site SLC3A2 (4F2hc, CD98) and analyzed their impact on trafficking, protein interactions, cellular AA balance and sensitivity to ox-stress.]

Project description:iNKT cells are a T lymphocyte subset displaying an innate effector phenotype that is acquired through a thymic developmental program controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs). iNKT cells lacking all miRNAs by the deletion of Dicer (Dicer KO) are markedly reduced and display a complete maturation block. In this study, we sought to gain insight into the miRNA-regulated genetic program required for iNKT cell development. By systemic analysis, we identified transcripts differentially expressed between thymic WT or Dicer KO iNKT cells and targeted by the iNKT cell-specific miRNAs. TGF-βRII, a molecule critically implicated in iNKT cell maturation, was found upregulated in Dicer KO iNKT cells together with increased TGF-β-dependent signaling. miRNAs belonging to the paralog miR-106a~363, miR-106b~25 and miR-17~92 clusters were predicted to target TGF-βRII mRNA during iNKT cell development. Thymic iNKT cells lacking all three miRNA clusters displayed both increased TGF-βRII expression and signaling and a maturation block, recapitulating those found in Dicer KO iNKT cells. Consistently, inhibition of TGF-β-dependent signaling in the absence of miRNAs, by crossing TGF-βRII KO and Dicer KO mice, rescued iNKT cell maturation. Collectively, our results highlight a fundamental requirement of the modulation of TGF-β-dependent signaling by miRNAs for iNKT cell development

Project description:The epigenetic factor UHRF1 is highly expressed in many types of cancers, however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we report an oncogenic function of UHRF1 in esophageal cancer(EC). UHRF1 was observed to be robustly expressed in EC cells. Knockdown of UHRF1 was achieved in two EC cell lines TE-10 and Kyse410 using a shRNA-mediated lentivirus system. Silencing of UHRF1 led to the inhibition of the proliferation and the mesenchymal phenotype as determined by the wound-healing and the invasion-in-matrigel assays. Transcriptome profile analysis revealed that two groups of the genes are significantly suppressed upon the UHRF1-shRNA expression. One group is linked to Akt signal pathway and the other is linked to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. MK2206, an Akt inhibitor, could also inhibit the growth and the mesenchymal phenotype of EC cells. But interestingly, while UHRF1 deficiency resulted in the downregulation of EMT-associated genes such as ZEB2, vimentin and twist1, MK2206 inhibition of Akt activity only suppressed the expression of snail, suggesting that the control of the mesenchymal phenotype by UHRF1 does not rely on the AKT cascade. We conclude that the oncogenic function of UHRF1 is linked to the synergistic effect on the Akt signal cascade and the EMT-specific genes in EC cells.
