More recently thapsigargin was found to be a potent cytotoxin that induces apoptosis by inhibiting the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticu- lum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) pump, which is necessary for cellular viability. This biological activity encouraged studies on the use of thapsigargin as a novel antineoplastic agent, which were, however, hampered due to high toxicity of this compound to normal cells. In this review, we summarized the recent knowledge on the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of thapsigargin action and advances in the synthesis of less-toxic thapsigargin derivatives that are being developed as novel anticancer drugs.

  • A Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals the Unfolded Protein Response Regulon and Stress-Induced Resistance to Folate-Based Antimetabolites
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16747-y OPEN A multi-omics analysis reveals the unfolded protein response regulon and stress-induced resistance to folate-based antimetabolites Stefan Reich1,9, Chi D.

Knobbe-Thomsen4, ✉ ✉ Björn Tews5,8, Grischa Toedt7, Robert Ahrends 2,6 & Jan Medenbach 1 1234567890():,; Stress response pathways are critical for cellular homeostasis, promoting survival through adaptive changes in gene expression and metabolism. They play key roles in numerous diseases and are implicated in cancer progression and chemoresistance. However, the underlying mechanisms are only poorly understood. We have employed a multi-omics approach to monitor changes to gene expression after induction of a stress response path- way, the unfolded protein response (UPR), probing in parallel the transcriptome, the pro- teome, and changes to translation. Stringent filtering reveals the induction of 267 genes, many of which have not previously been implicated in stress response pathways. We experimentally demonstrate that UPR‐mediated translational control induces the expression of enzymes involved in a pathway that diverts intermediate metabolites from glycolysis to fuel mitochondrial one‐carbon metabolism. Concomitantly, the cells become resistant to the folate-based antimetabolites Methotrexate and Pemetrexed, establishing a direct link between UPR‐driven changes to gene expression and resistance to pharmacological treatment. 1 Biochemistry I, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany. 2 Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften—ISAS—e.V., Dortmund, Germany. 3 Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, Technical University Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

  • ER Stress-Mediated Apoptosis Induced by Celastrol in Cancer Cells and Important Role of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3B in the Signal Network
    Citation: Cell Death and Disease (2013) 4, e715; doi:10.1038/cddis.2013.222 OPEN & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 2041-4889/13 www.nature.com/cddis ER stress-mediated apoptosis induced by celastrol in cancer cells and important role of glycogen synthase kinase-3b in the signal network L Feng1, D Zhang1, C Fan1,CMa2, W Yang3, Y Meng1,WWu1, S Guan1, B Jiang1, M Yang1, X Liu*,1 and D Guo*,1 HeLa cells treated with celastrol, a natural compound with inhibitive effect on proteasome, exhibited increase in apoptotic rate and characteristics of apoptosis. To clarify the signal network activated by celastrol to induce apoptosis, both the direct target proteins and undirect target proteins of celastrol were searched in the present study. Proteasome catalytic subunit b1 was predicted by computational analysis to be a possible direct target of celastrol and confirmed by checking direct effect of celastrol on the activity of recombinant human proteasome subunit b1 in vitro. Undirect target-related proteins of celastrol were searched using proteomic studies including two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis and iTRAQ-based LC-MS analysis. Possible target-related proteins of celastrol such as endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERP29) and mitochondrial import receptor Tom22 (TOM22) were found by 2-DE analysis of total cellular protein expression profiles. Further study showed that celastrol induced ER stress and ER stress inhibitor could ameliorate cell death induced by celastrol. Celastrol induced translocation of Bax into the mitochondria, which might be related to the upregulation of BH-3-only proteins such as BIM and the increase in the expression level of TOM22.

    INTERPLAY OF PROTEIN KINASE C, THE MARCKS PROTEIN, AND PHOSPHOINOSITIDES IN REGULATING MAST CELL SIGNALING A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Deepti Gadi January 2012 © 2012 Deepti Gadi INTERPLAY OF PROTEIN KINASE C, THE MARCKS PROTEIN, AND PHOSPHOINOSITIDES IN REGULATING MAST CELL SIGNALING Deepti Gadi, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Stimulation of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized mast cells by multivalent antigen triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling events that results in granule exocytosis as a principal outcome. Granule exocytosis results in the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators of the allergic response, and this process is mediated by Ca2+mobilization and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). MARCKS, a major PKC substrate, has been implicated in granule exocytosis. MARCKS has a polybasic effector domain (ED) that associates strongly with phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PIP2) and other phosphoinositides at the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Using real-time fluorescence imaging, we observed antigen-stimulated oscillatory recruitment of EGFP-tagged PKCβΙ to the plasma membrane in a process that is synchronous with the oscillatory displacement of mRFP-MARCKS-ED. To investigate the role of PKC-mediated MARCKS phosphorylation in granule exocytosis, we created a MARCKS-ED mutant that cannot be phosphorylated. We observed that MARCKS-EDSA4 delays the onset of Ca2+ mobilization that is dependent on PIP2 hydrolysis to produce IP3 in response to antigen, but it does not inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) activated by the SERCA pump inhibitor thapsigargin.

Thapsigargin is a potent inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase pump, inducing apoptosis in mammalian cells. This mechanism has been used to develop a thapsigargin-based cancer drug frst by GenSpera and later Inspyr Therapeutics (Westlake Village, California). However, a stable production of thapsigargin is not established. Results: In vitro regeneration from leaf explants, shoot multiplication and rooting of T. garganica was obtained along with the production of thapsigargins in temporary immersion bioreactors (TIBs). Thapsigargin production was enhanced using reduced nutrient supply in combination with methyl jasmonate elicitation treatments. Shoots grown in vitro were able to produce 0.34% and 2.1% dry weight of thapsigargin and nortrilobolide, respectively, while leaves and stems of wild T. garganica plants contain only between 0.1 and 0.5% of thapsigargin and below detectable levels of nortrilobolide. In addition, a real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) study was performed to study the regula‑ tory role of the biosynthetic genes HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR), farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS), epikunzeaol synthase (TgTPS2) and the cytochrome P450 (TgCYP76AE2) of stem, leaf and callus tissues. Nadi staining showed that the thapsigargins are located in secretory ducts within these tissues.

GalT−/− ovaries display elevated en- Galactosemic stress doplasmic reticulum (ER) stress marker, BiP, and downregulated canonical phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pi3k)/ Subfertility protein kinase B (Akt) growth/pro-survival signaling. Numbers of primordial follicles are reduced in the mu- Salubrinal tants, recapitulating the accelerated ovarian aging seen in human patients. We previously found that oral ad- Perk branch of the unfolded protein response ministration of the compound Salubrinal (an eIF2α phosphatase inhibitor), resulted in reduction of ovarian BiP (UPR) −/− Pi3K/Akt signaling expression, rescued Pi3k/Akt signaling, and a doubling of primordial follicles in GalT adults. Here, we further characterized galactosemic stress in GalT−/− mice versus wild-type (WT) controls, and examined whether Salubrinal treatment improved broader reproductive parameters.
