Project description:The accumulation of atypical, cytotoxic 1-deoxysphingolipids (1-dSLs) has been linked to retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and Macular Telangiectasia Type 2. However, the molecular mechanisms by which 1-dSLs induce toxicity in retinal cells remain poorly understood. Here, we integrate bulk and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to define biological pathways that modulate 1-dSL toxicity in human retinal organoids. Our results demonstrate that 1-dSLs differentially activate signaling arms of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in photoreceptor cells and Müller glia. Using a combination of pharmacologic activators and inhibitors, we show that sustained PERK signaling through the integrated stress response (ISR) and deficiencies in signaling through the protective ATF6 arm of the UPR are implicated in 1-dSL-induced photoreceptor toxicity. Further, we demonstrate that pharmacologic activation of ATF6 mitigates 1-dSL toxicity without impacting PERK/ISR signaling. Collectively, our results identify new opportunities to intervene in 1-dSL linked diseases through targeting different arms of the UPR.

Project description:Retinal microvascularization can provide important informations to systemic vascular phenomena. The non-invasive quantitative description of the retinal vascularization is now possible by performing OCT-angiography and their image analysis software (vascular density and retinal perfusion). Systemic microvacular changes during the establishment of oncological treatment by targeted antiangiogenic therapy are little described in the literature. The objective of this pilot study is to describe the evolution of the retinal vascular density of patients with antiangiogenic drugs. In addition, the evolution of the retinal vascular density of patients on antiangiogenic drugs will study as a function of the response to the treatment and the toxicity of these treatments.

Project description:Background. Recurrence or persistence of retinoblastoma (RB) is common following chemoreduction and often be managed with intra-arterial/ intravitreal chemotherapy. However, no/minimal response to local chemotherapy has been documented, with enucleation needed for tumor control. Otherwise, the globe is preserved with effective tumor control but at the cost of vision due to retinal toxicity. The aim of this study was to discover novel drug with improved antitumor activity and retinal safety profiles for RB via drug reprofiling in patient-derived tumor organoids. Methods. Five tumor organoid lines were fully characterized using CGH/SNP array and whole exome sequencing and used as a model to test 133 FDA-approved compounds using two-step screening processes. RNA sequencing was conducted to generate drug signature in conjunction with cell cycle and apoptotic assays. An ability of candidate drug to restrict proliferative tumor cone were examined together with retinal toxicity testing in human ESC-derived retinal organoids, in comparison with clinically used drugs by immunostaining. Results. Sunitinib was identified as high cytotoxic agent for the classical RB1-deficient and novel MYCN-amplified RBs. Gene signature indicated that anti-tumoral activity of sunitinib was associated with MAPK activity. Additionally, sunitinib was more effective to suppress proliferative tumor cones and had less retinal toxicity compared with melphalan and topotecan. Conclusions. Sunitinib may be a “universal” drug for all subtypes of RB. With high efficacy and low retinal toxicity, sunitinib is potential agent used in local chemotherapy for treating RB.

Project description:Rice is an important model for cereals and a staple crop worldwide. Understanding C-N nutrients interaction in rice should also help to compare and contrast the mechanisms for the regulation of C:N balance between plants accumulating high levels of photosynthates such as cereals and those that do not, and importantly may provide useful knowledge for improving crop yields. By analyzing the effects of exogenous C:N availabilities on the growth of rice seedlings, we previously identified the balanced and imbalanced C:N conditions for rice seedlings. Herein, we chose four C:N ratios (1 mM:1 mM, 1 mM:60 mM, 60 mM:1 mM and 60 mM:60 mM). Among them, 1:1 and 60:60 were considered as balanced exogenous C:N while 60:1 and 1:60 were imbalanced C:N. By comparative transcriptome analysis, genes were classified into two modes: high C:low N responsive genes and low C:high N responsive genes.

Project description:The cerebral cortex contains layers of neurons sequentially generated by distinct lineage-related progenitors. At the onset of corticogenesis, the first-born progenitors are apical progenitors (APs) whose asymmetric division give birth directly to neurons. Later, they switch to indirect neurogenesis by generating intermediate progenitors (IPs), which give rise to projection neurons of all cortical layers. While a direct lineage relationship between APs and IPs has been established, the molecular mechanism that controls their transition remains elusive. Our data suggest that interfering with codon translation speed triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), further impairing the generation of IPs and leading to microcephaly. Moreover, we demonstrate that a progressive downregulation of UPR in cortical progenitors acts as physiological signal to amplify IPs and promotes indirect neurogenesis. Thus, our findings reveal a hitherto unrecognized contribution of UPR to cell fate acquisition during mammalian brain development.

Project description:How retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells degenerate from oxidative stress in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is incompletely understood. The study's intent was to identify key cytoprotective pathways activated by oxidative stress, and to determine the extent of their protection. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify the unfolded protein response (UPR) and mitochondria in the RPE of AMD samples. Maculas with early AMD had prominent IRE1α, but minimal mitochondrial TOM20 immunolabeling in mildly degenerated RPE. RPE cells treated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE), by microarray analysis, had over-represented genes involved in the antioxidant and unfolded protein response, and mitochondrial location. CSE induced the UPR sensors IRE1α, p-PERK, and ATP6, which activated CHOP. CHOP knockdown compromised cell viability after CSE exposure. At the same CSE doses, mitochondria generated superoxide anion and produced less ATP. In mice given intravitreal CSE, the RPE had increased IRE1α and decreased ATP, which elicited RPE epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as suggested by altered ZO1 immunolabeling of RPE flatmounts. Our experiments indicate that RPE cells exposed to oxidative stress respond with a cytoprotective antioxidant and unfolded protein response, but develop mitochondrial impairment that contributed to epithelial mesenchymal transition. With similar responses in the RPE of early AMD samples, these results suggest that mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative stress while the ER elicits a protective response during early AMD. A total of 9 samples were analyzed: 3 control samples, 3 samples treated with 100ug/ml of Cigarette Smoke Condensate, and 3 samples treated with 250ug/ml of Cigarettes Smoke Condensate.

Project description:Erguler2013 - Unfolded protein stress response
The model investigates the mechanism by which UPR (unfolded protein response) outcome switches between survival and death.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a major signalling cascade acting in the quality control ofprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cascade is known to play an accessory rolein a range of genetic and environmental disorders including neurodegenerative and cardiovasculardiseases, diabetes and kidney diseases. The three major receptors of the ER stress involved withthe UPR, i.e. IRE1a, PERK and ATF6, signal through a complex web of pathways to convey anappropriate response. The emerging behaviour ranges from adaptive to maladaptive depending on theseverity of unfolded protein accumulation in the ER; however, the decision mechanism for the switchand its timing have so far been poorly understood.
RESULTS:
Here, we propose a mechanism by which the UPR outcome switches between survival and death.We compose a mathematical model integrating the three signalling branches, and perform a comprehensivebifurcation analysis to investigate possible responses to stimuli. The analysis reveals threedistinct states of behaviour, low, high and intermediate activity, associated with stress adaptation, tolerance,and the initiation of apoptosis. The decision to adapt or destruct can, therefore, be understoodas a dynamic process where the balance between the stress and the folding capacity of the ER playsa pivotal role in managing the delivery of the most appropriate response. The model demonstratesfor the first time that the UPR is capable of generating oscillations in translation attenuation and theapoptotic signals, and this is supplemented with a Bayesian sensitivity analysis identifying a set ofparameters controlling this behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS:
This work contributes largely to the understanding of one of the most ubiquitous signalling pathwaysinvolved in protein folding quality control in the metazoan ER. The insights gained have direct consequenceson the management of many UPR-related diseases, revealing, in addition, an extended listof candidate disease modifiers. Demonstration of stress adaptation sheds light to how preconditioningmight be beneficial in manifesting the UPR outcome to prevent untimely apoptosis, and paves the wayto novel approaches for the treatment of many UPR-related conditions.
In the paper, PERKA refers to the amount of phosphorylated PERK monomer. However, it refers to the active complex in the model. The complex with the model parameterization is formed of 4 monomers (n=4). So, the value of PERKA should be multiplied by 4, in order to generate the figures in the paper (eg. Figure 12).
An additional parameter (tmr=10)) is used in the model. This parameter is not mentioned in the paper. The model values of kf(=10) and kr(=1) are not consistent with that of the paper (kf=100, kr=10, in the paper). However, this is corrected by the introduction of "tmr" in the model, which is multiplied with kf and kr to get the resulting values.
The term "tmr" was missing in the kinetic laws of the reactions reu7 and reu8, in the original model. This has been corrected as per the author's request.
