Project description:Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used medications for the treatment of major depressive disorder. However, long-term SSRI use has been associated with weight gain and altered lipid profiles. These findings suggest that SSRIs may have negative effects on metabolism. Exposure to certain chemicals called 'obesogens' are known to promote lipid accumulation and obesity by modulating adipogenesis. Here, we investigated whether citalopram (CIT) and sertraline (SER) interfere with the process of adipogenesis, using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a 2D and a 3D model. Assessment of intracellular lipid accumulation by fluorescence staining was used as a measure for enhanced adipogenesis. To explore possible mechanisms behind SSRIs' effects, receptor mediated activity was studied using responsive cell lines for various nuclear receptors. Furthermore, RNA sequencing was performed in the 3D model, followed by differential gene expression and pathway analysis. A dose dependent increase in lipid accumulation was observed in both models with CIT and SER. For the 3D model, the effect was seen in a range close to reported steady-state plasma concentrations (0,065-0,65 μM for SER and 0,12-0,92 μM for CIT). Pathway analysis revealed unexpected results of downregulation in adipogenesis-related pathways and upregulation in phospholipids and lysosomal pathways. This was confirmed by an observed increase in lysosomes in the 2D model. Our findings suggest lysosomal dysfunction and disrupted lipid metabolism in mature adipocytes, leading to excessive phospholipid synthesis. Moreover, important adipogenic processes are inhibited, potentially leading to dysfunctional adipocytes, which might have implications in maintenance of a healthy metabolic balance.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating disease and the most common primary brain malignancy of adults with a median survival barely exceeding one year. Recent findings suggest that the antipsychotic drug pimozide triggers an autophagy-dependent, lysosomal type of cell death in GBM cells with possible implications for GBM therapy. One oncoprotein that is often overactivated in these tumors and associated with a particularly dismal prognosis is Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). Here, we used isogenic human GBM knockout cell lines, advanced fluorescence microscopy, transcriptomic analysis and FACS-based assessment of cell viability to show that STAT3 has an underappreciated, context-dependent role in drug-induced cell death. Specifically, we demonstrate that depletion of STAT3 significantly enhances cell survival after treatment with pimozide, suggesting that STAT3 confers a particular vulnerability to GBM. Furthermore, we show that active STAT3 has no major influence on the early steps of the autophagy pathway, but exacerbates drug-induced lysosomal membrane permeabilisation (LMP) and release of cathepsins into the cytosol. Collectively, our findings support the concept of exploiting the pro-death functions of autophagy and LMP for GBM therapy and to further determine whether STAT3 can be employed as a treatment predictor for highly apoptosis-resistant, but autophagy-proficient cancers.

Project description:Increasing experimental evidence supports that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved strategies to survive within the lysosomes from activated macrophages, which may represent a reservoir for persistent mycobacteria. To further our knowledge in Mtb response to the lysosomal environment, we profiled the global transcriptional activity of Mtb in a lysosomal in vitro exposure (LivE) model. At inhibitory conditions of lysosomal SF (iLivE), which did not kill but arrested mycobacterial replication thereby mimicking persistence, Mtb expresses a unique transcriptome, where genes involved in general stress response, metabolic reprogramming, cell wall remodeling, respiration, oxidative stress and dormancy response were found to be significantly modulated. Genes encoding for protein families involved in Mtb virulence including ESAT-6, PE-PPE and Mce proteins were also distinctly regulated. Extensive meta-analysis of the Mtb transcriptomes from iLivE and previously reported ex vivo, in vivo and in vitro stress models revealed most significant overlap between iLivE and primary murine macrophage infection model. Our study also highlighted the α-glucan synthesis pathway and a distinct set of toxin-antitoxin systems as toxicity mechanisms that could be exploited as novel antimicrobial approaches for intra-macrophage persistent bacilli. The specificity in responses generated in the LivE model was supported by the significant number of iLivE genes that did not overlap with any of the previously reported in vitro stress models. Finally, to validate the relevance of the LivE model, rv1258c encoding for the efflux pump protein Tap, was selected from the iLivE Mtb transcriptome for further characterization. An Mtb Δrv1258c mutant was constructed and displayed increased susceptibility to killing by lysosomal SF and by the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 found in lysosomes. Furthermore, Δrv1258c Mtb was attenuated in its ability to survive in primary murine macrophages.

Project description:Adipose tissue abundance relies partly on the factors that regulate adipogenesis, i.e. proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes. While the transcriptional program that initiates adipogenesis is well-known, the importance of microRNAs in adipogenesis is less well studied. We thus set out to investigate whether miRNAs would be actively modulated during adipogenesis and obesity. Several models exist to study adipogenesis in vitro, of which the cell line 3T3-L1 is probably the most well known, albeit not the most physiologically appropriate. We used a microarray strategy to provide a global profile of miRNAs in brown and white primary murine adipocytes (prior to and following differentiation) and evaluated the similarity of the responses to non-primary cell models, through literature data-mining. We found 65 miRNAs regulated during in vitro adipogenesis in primary adipocytes. When we compared our primary adipocyte profiles with those of cell lines reported in the literature, we found a high degree of difference in adipogenesis-regulated miRNAs. We evaluated the expression of 10 of our adipogenesis-regulated miRNAs using real-time qPCR and then selected 5 miRNAs that showed robust expression levels and profiled these by qPCR in subcutaneous adipose tissue of 20 humans with a range of body mass indices (BMI, range=21-48). Of the miRNAs tested, mir-21 was both highly expressed in human adipose tissue and positively correlated with BMI (R2=0.49, p<0.001). In conclusion, we provide the preliminary analysis of miRNAs important for primary cell in vitro adipogenesis and find that the inflammation-associated miRNA, mir-21, is up-regulated in subcutaneous adipose tissue in human obesity. 3 samples of pre adipocytes isolated from brown adipose tissue examined pre and post differentiation to brown adipocytes. 3 samples of pre-adipocytes isolated from white adipose tissue and examined pre and post differentiation to adipocytes.

Project description:USP7, a dominant DUB activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in mouse adipose tissue, increases Tip60 protein levels, and deubiquitinates Tip60 both in intact cells and in vitro. Treatment with a pan deubiquitinase (DUB) inhibitor, or knockdown of USP7, decreases adipogenesis. Transcriptome analysis reveals a common set of cell cycle genes to be co-regulated by both Tip60 and USP7. Knock down of either factor results in impaired mitotic clonal expansion, an early step in adipogenesis. These results therefore reveal deubiquitination of a transcriptional coregulator to be a key mechanism in the regulation of early adipogenesis

Project description:Signaling cascades during adipogenesis culminate in the expression of two essential adipogenic factors, PPARγ and C/EBPα. Here we demonstrate that the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway, the most conserved branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR), is indispensable for adipogenesis. Indeed, XBP1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts and 3T3-L1 cells with XBP1 or IRE1α knockdown exhibit profound defects in adipogenesis. Intriguingly, C/EBPβ, a key early adipogenic factor, induces Xbp1 expression by directly binding to its proximal promoter region. Subsequently, XBP1 binds to the promoter of Cebpa and activates its gene expression. The posttranscriptional splicing of Xbp1 mRNA by IRE1α is required as only the spliced form of XBP1 (XBP1s) rescues the adipogenic defect exhibited by XBP1-deficient cells. Taken together, our data show that the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway plays a key role in adipocyte differentiation by acting as a critical regulator of the morphological and functional transformations during adipogenesis. The Xbp1 deficient MEFs are subjected to adipogenesis using standard drug induction. The cells are collected at day 0 and day 3. Total RNA are extracted from the cells and used for one channel microarray analysis. Expression levels on day 3 are compared to that on day 0.
