Project description:1. White adipose tissues (WAT) are capable of secreting not only fatty acids but also a class of secretory proteins that modulate the homeostasis of distant organs, including the liver. To identify potential WAT-enriched secretory factors involved in NASH progression, C57BL/6 male mice were fed with a normal chow diet or HFHC diet for two different periods: 12 weeks and 28 weeks. Then, we compared the expression profile of epididymal WAT (eWAT) from mouse models of NAFL and NASH above mentioned by RNA-Sequencing analysis. 2. To investigate the contribution of Sparcl1 in the pathogenesis of NASH, male C57BL/6J mice were fed a HFHC diet for 12 weeks, and then intraperitoneal injected with saline or recombinant Sparcl1 protein (0.2mg/kg) every other day for 3 weeks. To elucidate the molecular basis of Sparcl1-mediated NASH progression, we conducted RNA-Sequencing analysis for differentially expressed genes using the livers of chronic recombinant Sparcl1 protein or saline- treated mice.

Project description:Gliomas are aggressive primary brain tumors, presenting surgery limitations due to their highly infiltrative potential. The expression of Angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors in human astrocytomas was previously associated with a poor prognosis. Accordingly, this study was undertaken to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying Ang II actions in gliomas through the transcriptomic analysis of glioma cells exposed to Ang II. C6 glioma cells were treated with Ang II and specific antagonists of AT1 and AT2. Total RNA was isolated at three and six hours intervals and submitted to oligonucleotide microarray protocol. The differentially expressed genes were obtained by paired t-tests with p<0.05 and interpreted using Venn diagrams, functional enrichment and protein interaction network analyses. Validation of microarray results was carried out through qPCR experiments of selected genes. We found a high number of significant genes with low fold changes in gene expression at the time intervals studied. These genes were regulated in a time dependent-manner, with most gene expression changes being exclusive to one of the time intervals evaluated. Our results indicated that blocking AT1 or AT2 changed the expression of genes involved in regulation of transcription, cell cycle, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, cell migration, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, protein transport and protein ubiquitination. Additionally, the signaling pathways over-represented by the significant genes were ErbB, mTOR, MAPK, neurotrophin, insulin and Wnt. Finally, interactome analyses revealed hub genes associated with cell proliferation, survival, migration, transport, structural support, neurotrophin pathway, MAPK signaling and Wnt signaling. Taken together, our findings implicate Ang II-transcriptional regulation in glioma progression by means of the modulation of genes participating in protumoral functions. This transcriptome pattern is observed upon Ang II activation of either AT1 or AT2 receptors, thereby highlighting the relevance of both receptor subtypes in glioma progression. Interactome analyses disclosed hub genes regulated by Ang II which may present higher control over their networks. These genes participate in biological functions that could enhance the degree of malignancy in gliomas and thus should be further explored. C6 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 Units/ml penicillin and 100 M-BM-5g/ml streptomycin. Cells were seeded in cell culture dishes and incubated at 37M-BM-0C/ 5% CO2 until becoming confluent. Then, these cells were pre-treated (30 minutes) with either AT1 receptor antagonist (Losartan: 10-5M) or AT2 receptor antagonist (PD123319: 10-5M) followed by Ang II treatment (10-7 M) according to the treatment scheme: Group 1 M-bM-^@M-^S control; Group 2 M-bM-^@M-^S cells only treated with Ang II; Group 3 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with Losartan and then treated with Ang II; Group 4 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with PD123319 and then treated with Ang II. To identify which genes were significantly differentially expressed, paired t-tests (p<0.05) were performed in the following comparisons: Ang II x Control (3h); Ang II x Control (6h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (3h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (6h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (3h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (6h).

Project description:It is well known that rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a critical role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The present study was aimed to clarify the role of a novel member of RAAS, angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and its downstream mediator forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In vivo, diabetic mice were treated with low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, AT4R antagonist divalinal, FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 (AS), or their combinations. In vitro, cardiomyocytes and cardiofibroblasts were treated with different concentrations of glucose, low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, divalinal, FoxO1-overexpression plasmid (FoxO1-OE), AS or their combinations. The results showed that Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction, fibrosis, and myocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice. Besides, enhanced autophagy and FoxO1 protein expression by diabetes were dose-dependently suppressed by Ang IV treatment. However, these cardioprotective effects of Ang IV were completely abolished by divalinal administration. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in autophagy, apoptosis, and FoxO signaling pathways among control, diabetes, and diabetes+high-dose Ang IV groups. Similar to Ang IV, AS treatment ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice. In vitro, high glucose stimulation increased collagen expression, apoptosis, overactive autophagy flux and FoxO1 nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, and upregulated collagen and FoxO1 expression in cardiofibroblasts, which were substantially attenuated by Ang IV treatment. However, these protective effects of Ang IV were completely blocked by the use of divalinal or FoxO1-OE, and these detrimental effects were reversed by the additional administration of AS. In summary, Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and the mechanisms involved stimulation of AT4R and suppression of FoxO1-mediated fibrosis, apoptosis, and overactive autophagy.

Project description:The mammalian liver comprises heterogeneous cell types within its tissue microenvironment that respond to physiological cues and undergo pathophysiological reprogramming in disease states, such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients with NASH are at increased risk for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular and cellular nature of liver microenvironment remodeling that links NASH to liver carcinogenesis remains obscure. Here we show that diet-induced NASH is characterized by induction of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-like macrophages and exhaustion of cytotoxic T cells in mouse liver. The adipose-derived endocrine factor Neuregulin 4 (NRG4) serves as a hormonal checkpoint that restrains this pathological reprogramming during NASH. NRG4 deficiency exacerbates the induction of tumor-prone liver immune microenvironment and NASH-associated HCC, whereas transgenic NRG4 overexpression elicits protective effects in mice. In a therapeutic setting, recombinant NRG4 protein exhibits remarkable efficacy in inhibiting HCC in mice with NASH, thereby paving the way for future therapeutic development.

Project description:Drug resistance from BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and other chemotherapeutics results in treatment failure and disease progression in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the mechanism is still uncertain. In this study, we investigated the role of angiopoietin-1 (ANG-1) as a potential prognostic factor for drug resistance in CML. Both intracellular and secretory ANG-1 (iANG-1 and sANG-1) were overexpressed in multidrug-resistant CML samples. The IC50 value was higher in primary CD34+ CD38– cells with more ANG-1. Silencing ANG-1 significantly sensitized three TKI-resistant CML cell lines to imatinib (IM) while recombinant human ANG-1 failed to retain cell survival in vitro. This indicated the important role of iANG-1 as opposed to sANG-1 in CML drug resistance. Moreover, a similar effect was observed in xenograft mice models bearing ANG-1-silenced CML cells. Subsequently, pathway analysis and protein validation experiments showed activation of the JAK/STAT pathway and augmentation of STAT5a phosphorylation in ANG-1 restored CML cells. Upstream Src phosphorylation, which plays a crucial role in CML drug resistance, was also upregulated as a key event in iANG-1-related JAK/STAT pathway activation. In conclusion, our study elucidated a new BCR-ABL independent molecular mechanism induced by intracytoplasmic ANG-1 overexpression as a potential strategy for overcoming CML resistance.
