Furthermore, Garcia et al (14) found that the first report of a high incidence of deletion of PPP2R5C in the regulation of cell growth by IER3 is mediated by ERK, human carcinomas. which also plays a central role in regulation of a variety of cellular events, including cell proliferation, differentiation, Introduction migration, and apoptosis (15,16). IER3 regulates ERK activity through its inhibitory activity on B56-containing PP2A, which IER3 (immediate early response gene 3) was first identified dephosphorylates ERK (13). Recently it has been clarified that in fibroblasts from mouse in 1993 (1), and human IER3, activated ERK induces IER3 protein synthesis, and then IER3 inhibits B56γ1-PP2A, forming the ERK/IER3/B56γ1-PP2A positive feedback loop, which eventually leads to sustained activation of ERK (17).

Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible.

  • CPTC-MAPK3-1 (CAB079934) Immunohistochemistry
    CPTC-MAPK3-1 (CAB079934) Uniprot ID: P27361 Protein name: MK03_HUMAN Full name: Mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Function: Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1 are the 2 MAPKs which play an important role in the MAPK/ERK cascade. They participate also in a signaling cascade initiated by activated KIT and KITLG/SCF. Depending on the cellular context, the MAPK/ERK cascade mediates diverse biological functions such as cell growth, adhesion, survival and differentiation through the regulation of transcription, translation, cytoskeletal rearrangements. The MAPK/ERK cascade plays also a role in initiation and regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors. About 160 substrates have already been discovered for ERKs. Many of these substrates are localized in the nucleus, and seem to participate in the regulation of transcription upon stimulation. However, other substrates are found in the cytosol as well as in other cellular organelles, and those are responsible for processes such as translation, mitosis and apoptosis. Moreover, the MAPK/ERK cascade is also involved in the regulation of the endosomal dynamics, including lysosome processing and endosome cycling through the perinuclear recycling compartment (PNRC); as well as in the fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus during mitosis. The substrates include transcription factors (such as ATF2, BCL6, ELK1, ERF, FOS, HSF4 or SPZ1), cytoskeletal elements (such as CANX, CTTN, GJA1, MAP2, MAPT, PXN, SORBS3 or STMN1), regulators of apoptosis (such as BAD, BTG2, CASP9, DAPK1, IER3, MCL1 or PPARG), regulators of translation (such as EIF4EBP1) and a variety of other signaling-related molecules (like ARHGEF2, FRS2 or GRB10).

Here we report the results of a loss-of-function screen that identifies the PP2A heterotrimeric serine/threonine phosphatases PPP2R2A, PPP2R2D, PPP2R5A and PPP2R3C in double-strand break (DSB) repair. In particular, we found that PPP2R2A-containing complexes directly dephosphorylated ATM at S367, S1893, and S1981 to regulate its retention at DSB sites.

  • Transcriptome Sequencing of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptome Sequencing of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Elite Controller-Long Term Received: 8 February 2019 Accepted: 12 September 2019 Non Progressors Published: xx xx xxxx Francisco Díez-Fuertes1,2, Humberto Erick De La Torre-Tarazona1, Esther Calonge1, Maria Pernas3, María del Mar Alonso-Socas4, Laura Capa1, Javier García-Pérez1, Anavaj Sakuntabhai 5 & José Alcamí 1,2 The elite controller (EC)-long term non-progressor (LTNP) phenotype represent a spontaneous and advantageous model of HIV-1 control in the absence of therapy. The transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from EC-LTNPs was sequenced by RNA-Seq and compared with the transcriptomes from other phenotypes of disease progression. The transcript abundance estimation combined with the use of supervised classifcation algorithms allowed the selection of 20 genes and pseudogenes, mainly involved in interferon-regulated antiviral mechanisms and cell machineries of transcription and translation, as the best predictive genes of disease progression. Diferential expression analyses between phenotypes showed an altered calcium homeostasis in EC-LTNPs evidenced by the upregulation of several membrane receptors implicated in calcium-signaling cascades and intracellular calcium-mobilization and by the overrepresentation of NFAT1/Elk-1-binding sites in the promoters of the genes diferentially expressed in these individuals. A coordinated upregulation of host genes associated with HIV-1 reverse transcription and viral transcription was also observed in EC-LTNPs –i.e. p21/CDKN1A, TNF, IER3 and GADD45B. We also found an upregulation of ANKRD54 in EC-LTNPs and viremic LTNPs in comparison with typical progressors and a clear alteration of type-I interferon signaling as a consequence of viremia in typical progressors before and after receiving antiretroviral therapy.

  • Supplementary Figure 1. Network Map Associated with Upregulated Canonical Pathways Shows Interferon Alpha As a Key Regulator
    Supplementary Figure 1. Network map associated with upregulated canonical pathways shows interferon alpha as a key regulator. IPA core analysis determined interferon-alpha as an upstream regulator in the significantly upregulated genes from RNAseq data from nasopharyngeal swabs of COVID-19 patients (GSE152075). Network map was generated in IPA, overlaid with the Coronavirus Replication Pathway. Supplementary Figure 2. Network map associated with Cell Cycle, Cellular Assembly and Organization, DNA Replication, Recombination, and Repair shows relationships among significant canonical pathways. Significant pathways were identified from pathway analysis of RNAseq from PBMCs of COVID-19 patients. Coronavirus Pathogenesis Pathway was also overlaid on the network map. The orange and blue colors in indicate predicted activation or predicted inhibition, respectively. Supplementary Figure 3. Significant biological processes affected in brochoalveolar lung fluid of severe COVID-19 patients. Network map was generated by IPA core analysis of differentially expressed genes for severe vs mild COVID-19 patients in bronchoalveolar lung fluid (BALF) from scRNA-seq profile of GSE145926. Orange color represents predicted activation. Red boxes highlight important cytokines involved. Supplementary Figure 4. 10X Genomics Human Immunology Panel filtered differentially expressed genes in each immune subset (NK cells, T cells, B cells, and Macrophages) of severe versus mild COVID-19 patients. Three genes (HLA-DQA2, IFIT1, and MX1) were found significantly and consistently differentially expressed. Gene expression is shown per the disease severity (mild, severe, recovered) is shown on the top row and expression across immune cell subsets are shown on the bottom row. Supplementary Figure 5. Network map shows interactions between differentially expressed genes in severe versus mild COVID-19 patients.
