Regulation of Esophageal Epithelial Function in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Regulation of esophageal epithelial function in Eosinophilic Esophagitis A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of Pharmacology & Systems Physiology of the College of Medicine 2018 By Chang Zeng B.S. Sun Yat-sen University, 2012 Committee Chair: Anjaparavanda P. Naren, Ph.D. Mentor: Simon P. Hogan, Ph.D. Abstract Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory disorder with increasing prevalence in the western world. Patients with EoE demonstrate symptoms including vomiting, dysphagia and food impaction which decreased the quality of life. One of the histopathological features of EoE is esophageal tissue remodeling, including dilated intercellular spaces (DIS) and basal zone hyperplasia (BZH). However, the underlying molecular s that drive these features is largely unknown. Here, we investigate the 1) involvement of sodium‐hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) in esophageal epithelium remodeling and 2) the role of the transcription factors, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), in the regulation of gene networks that control esophageal epithelial proliferation and histopathological features of EoE. By analyzing RNA sequencing comparing transcriptome difference in esophageal biopsies from normal control (NL) and EoE patients, we identified NHE3 as the most upregulated transmembrane transporters in patients with active EoE. We found that the expression pattern of NHE3 closely correlated with the disease severity and DIS. Functional analyses demonstrated that NHE3 activity is upregulated in IL‐13 treated primary esophageal epithelial cells derived from EoE patients, as well as in IL‐13‐induced stratified squamous epithelium generated by the air‐liquid interface (EPC2‐ALI). Pharmacological Inhibition of NHE3 activity protected from IL‐13 induced DIS in esophageal epithelium. Thus, we concluded that NHE3 plays a functional role in DIS formation and pharmacologic interventions targeting SLC9A3 function may suppress the histopathologic manifestations in EoE IL‐13 has previously been shown to activate STAT proteins, particularly STAT3 and STAT6 and regulate the transcriptome changes in EoE patients. Using transcription factor binding site (TFBS) analysis, we identified STAT protein binding motif is one of the most enriched transcription factor binding site (TFBS) in the dysregulated genes in both EoE biopsies and IL‐13 treated EPC2‐ALI cultures. In particular, we ii identified the STAT3 binding site as the most enriched TFBS in IL‐13 induced upregulated genes in EPC‐ ALI. By knocking down STAT3 in EPC2 cells, we revealed a role for STAT3 in the regulation of epithelium barrier function and IL‐13‐induced proliferation. In contrast, we show that STAT6 plays a pro‐ inflammatory role regulating cytokine and chemokine production in esophageal epithelium. Together, we identified several molecular targets in the esophageal epithelium that are important in modulating the esophageal epithelium remodeling in EoE. This dissertation, for the first time, uncovers the role of transmembrane transporters in the pathogenesis of EoE. Also, we provide valuable information on the two distinct divergent pathways regulated by STAT3 and STAT6 driving IL‐13‐ mediated transcriptome changes in EoE. Further investigations into the contribution of these mechanisms in the clinical manifestations of EoE will facilitate the evolvement of new therapeutic approaches in EoE treatment. iii iv Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my mentor Dr. Simon Hogan. I had a tough beginning for my graduate study, but it all paid off when I ended up joined Simon’s laboratory. Simon is an excellent mentor. He showed me his enthusiasm and passion for science, guided me of how to do science correctly and efficiently, and told me to explore all the possibility of life in the future. These are all valuable assets and shaped me into who I am right now. Next, I would like to thank my thesis committee members. All of my committee members, Drs. Anjaparavanda Naren, Hong‐Sheng Wang, Gary Shull, Marshall Montrose and Robert Rapoport have provided me invaluable support and advice, which are essential for my completion of the dissertation. Primarily, I want to thank Dr. Naren for the guidance on experimental techniques and preparedness to assist with completion of my thesis dissertation. Also, I am grateful to Dr. Rapoport for being supportive not only as my committee member but also my graduate program director. I would like to offer my special thanks to Dr. Ronald Millard. He helped and guided me to get through the most terrible time of my graduate study. I would not be able to join Simon’s lab and achieve what I have made now without him. I would also like to thank Nancy for her endless help during both my graduate program transition and process towards graduation. During the past four years, I have met amazing people in Hogan Lab, and I would like to express my thankfulness individually. Taeko, thank you for sharing your experiences and stupid videos with me all the time, I always enjoyed the time we spent together. Simone, thank you for your guidance on experiments and your company to different places in Cincinnati. It is sort of sad that we are not going to drink KSFM when I graduate. Amna, we have been together to go through both foundation and numerous dreadful lab meetings, I think this would be enough to keep our friendship for a long time. Lisa, thank you for always being like a mom and take care of me, I wish I could bring you more exotic v food to try. Now I’m starting to run out of spaces, but I still want to thank Jazib, Yanfen, Sunil, Varsha, Andy, Justin, Heather, Nianrong, David, Ania, and Marjan. We have shared amazing memories together, and thank you all for your friendship. I would also like to thank the great people in Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center who offered me help and friendship during my training as a graduate student. Special thanks to Julie, Nurit and Mark Rochman, who have given me useful advice on both scientific problems and career development. Finally, I would like to thank my mom Zhi, my aunt Tun, my boyfriend Yongkun, my friend Yu and Jiuzhou, and all my other friends and families for their unconditional support and love. vi Table of Contents Regulation of esophageal epithelial function in Eosinophilic Esophagitis ..................................................... i Abstract ......................................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................................... v Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................................ vii List of Abbreviations .................................................................................................................................... xi List of Figures and Tables ............................................................................................................................xiii 1 Chapter I: Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 15 1.1 Eosinophilic Esophagitis .............................................................................................................. 15 1.1.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 15 1.1.2 Pathogenesis of EoE ............................................................................................................ 15 1.1.3 Therapy ............................................................................................................................... 25 1.1.4 Summary ............................................................................................................................. 28 1.2 Interleukin‐13 (IL‐13) .................................................................................................................. 29 1.2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 29 1.2.2 Production of IL‐13 .............................................................................................................. 29 1.2.3 IL‐13 signaling pathway ....................................................................................................... 29 1.2.4 IL‐13 function under physiological and pathological conditions ........................................ 32 1.2.5 IL‐13 in EoE .......................................................................................................................... 33 1.2.6 IL‐13‐related treatment ...................................................................................................... 34 vii 1.2.7 Summary ............................................................................................................................. 34 1.3 Ion transporters .......................................................................................................................... 36 1.3.1 Introduction of Ion transporters ........................................................................................

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

  • Investigation of Candidate Genes and Mechanisms Underlying Obesity
    Prashanth et al. BMC Endocrine Disorders (2021) 21:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12902-021-00718-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Investigation of candidate genes and mechanisms underlying obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus using bioinformatics analysis and screening of small drug molecules G. Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.
