The incidence of GBM in the USA is 3.19 in 1000000 (Vigneswaran et al., 2015). The median age at diagnosis is 64 years. Men are 1.6 times more often affected than women (Ver- haak et al., 2010). The reason for this gender-specific preponderance is unclear. 95 % of all GBM develop de novo (primary glioblastoma multiforme, PGBM), while 5 % evolve out of low grade gliomas, for example astrocytomas, and are named sec- ondary glioblastoma multiforme (SGBM) (Figure 1.1). Analysis of GBM genomics revealed multiple tumour suppressor and oncogenes that are inactive and active, respectively, during tumour progression and de novo formation (Figure 1.2). For example, in low grade gliomas and SGBM, mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1 and IDH2) are found most frequently, whereas PGBM never have these muta- tions. Genetic differences between SGBM and PGBM tumours are used in diagnostics (Nobusawa et al., 2009) and are relevant for the selection of the therapy. With im- munohistochemistry (IHC), the expression of IDH1 in SGBM and low grade GBM can be detected easily (Figure 1.3). Despite various efforts and combined therapy (Hau et al., 2007; Stupp et al., 2009), PGBM is still an incurable disease. At the moment, the standard therapy for patients (a) T1 sequence PGBM with (b) T2 sequence PGBM contrast agent Figure 1.1: Magnetic resonance imaging from a PGBM patient, transversal sections.

Relapse occurs frequently within approximately 7 months (210 days) (Alifieris and Trafalis, 2015) (Figure 1.4). This is due to the fact that a complete microscopic resection can never be achieved because of the diffuse infiltration of PGBM. If re-irradiation and re-resection of recurrent tumours are not eligible, other medications like carboplatin, irinotecan, carmustine, etoposide, or vincristine are used in clinical trials (Mrugala et al., 2012; Pallud et al., 2015). Even investigatory approaches like convection enhanced delivery, stem cell treatment, immunotherapy, and gene therapy might be available in the future to elongate the survival of PGBM patients (Arshad et al., 2015; Stangeland et al., 2015). For the choice of medication, it is essential to have prognostic markers to predict the course of the disease, or to evaluate developed medications. At the moment there is only one stable predictive marker defined for PGBM therapy. The success of PGBM 6 treatment with TMZ is depends on the methylation status of the O -methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter (Hegi et al., 2008; Quillien et al., 2012; 6 Stupp et al., 2009). TMZ is an alkylating agent, targeting the O -position of guanine. This leads to DNA double strand breaks and finally results in apoptosis. MGMT, 6 however, removes methyl adducts at the O -guanine and works therefore as a DNA repair enzyme, antagonising TMZ.IftheMGMT promoter is methylated, the enzyme is not produced and the alkylating agents can lead to DNA double strand breaks (Hegi et al., 2004). Patients with a high MGMT promoter methylation benefit more from a TMZ therapy and have a longer MOS than patients with low MGMT promoter methylation. Histopathologically, PGBM are very heterogeneous (Bonavia et al., 2011). Mod- ern pathology combines morphological patterns with molecular markers to manifest (a) prae operation (b) post operation (c) secondary PGBM Figure 1.4: Magnetic resonance imaging from a PGBM patient, sagittal sections. a) before surgical resection, b) after surgical resection, c) 4 months after surgical resection, secondary PGBM visible. 3 1 Introduction diagnosis.

  • The Aldehyde Dehydrogenase ALDH2*2 Allele Exhibits Dominance Over ALDH2*1 in Transduced Hela Cells
    The aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH2*2 allele exhibits dominance over ALDH2*1 in transduced HeLa cells. Q Xiao, … , T Johnston, D W Crabb J Clin Invest. 1995;96(5):2180-2186. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI118272. Research Article Individuals heterozygous or homozygous for the variant aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) allele (ALDH2*2), which encodes a protein differing only at residue 487 from the normal protein, have decreased ALDH2 activity in liver extracts and experience cutaneous flushing when they drink alcohol. The mechanisms by which this allele exerts its dominant effect is unknown. To study this effect, the human ALDH2*1 cDNA was cloned and the ALDH2*2 allele was generated by site-directed mutagenesis. These cDNAs were transduced using retroviral vectors into HeLa and CV1 cells, which do not express ALDH2. The normal allele directed synthesis of immunoreactive ALDH2 protein (ALDH2E) with the expected isoelectric point. Extracts of these cells contained increased aldehyde dehydrogenase activity with low Km for the aldehyde substrate. The ALDH2*2 allele directed synthesis of mRNA and immunoreactive protein (ALDH2K), but the protein lacked enzymatic activity. When ALDH2*1-expressing cells were transduced with ALDH2*2 vectors, both mRNAs were expressed and immunoreactive proteins with isoelectric points ranging between those of ALDH2E and ALDH2K were present, indicating that the subunits formed heteromers. ALDH2 activity in these cells was reduced below that of the parental ALDH2*1-expressing cells. Thus, the ALDH2*2 allele is sufficient to cause ALDH2 deficiency in vitro.

  • Combined Treatment of Isoflavone Supplementation and Exercise
    Yoon et al. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2014, 11:29 http://www.jissn.com/content/11/1/29 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Combined treatment of isoflavone supplementation and exercise restores the changes in hepatic protein expression in ovariectomized rats - a proteomics approach Sun Yoon1, Joomin Lee2 and Seung-Min Lee1* Abstract Background: Postmenopausal women experience adverse physiological changes caused by estrogen deprivation. Here, we hypothesized that the administration of isoflavone, a phytoestrogn, and/or physical exercise could reverse changes in the levels of hepatic enzymes disturbed by loss of estrogen to ameliorate postmenopause-related health problems. Methods: Thirty-week-old female Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into five groups: a sham-operated (SHAM) group, ovariectomized groups on a regular diet with exercise (EXE) and without exercise (OVX), and ovariectomized groups on an isoflavone supplemented diet with (ISO + EXE) and without exercise (ISO). Proteomic tools were employed to identify candidate hepatic proteins that were differentially expressed among the five animal groups. Results: INMT was detected in the SHAM but not in all of the ovariectomized rats. Seven proteins (PPIA, AKR1C3, ALDH2, PSME2, BUCS1, OTC, and GAMT) were identified to have differential expression among the groups. When compared to the SHAM group, the ovariectomy elevated the levels of PPIA, BUCS1, PSME2, AKR1C3, and GAMT while decreasing ALDH2 and OTC. Among these OVX-induced changes, OVX-increased BUCS1 and GAMT levels were noticeably decreased by ISO or EXE and further greatly down-regulated by ISO + EXE. In the case of PSME2, ISO and EXE further increased OVX-upregulated expression levels but ISO + EXE greatly reduced OVX-increased levels.

Yet, this flushing response is caused by an accumulation of acetaldehyde, a carcinogenic intermediate of alcohol metabolism. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency, the result of a point mutation, produces a less efficient ALDH2. The resulting accumulation of acetaldehyde greatly increases the risk of developing esophageal and head and neck cancers. In this study, we produced recombinant ALDH2 in the probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917, which successfully reduces acetaldehyde levels in ​ ​ simulated oral conditions. Packaged in a hard candy, the ALDH2-probiotic would remain in the mouth to specifically target salivary acetaldehyde. Using mathematical modeling, we also determined how much recombinant ALDH2 is needed to reduce elevated acetaldehyde levels.

  • Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Activation and Coevolution of Its Εpkc
    Nene et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2017) 24:3 DOI 10.1186/s12929-016-0312-x RESEARCH Open Access Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 activation and coevolution of its εPKC-mediated phosphorylation sites Aishwarya Nene†, Che-Hong Chen*† , Marie-Hélène Disatnik, Leslie Cruz and Daria Mochly-Rosen Abstract Background: Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme for the metabolism of many toxic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, derived from alcohol drinking, and 4HNE, an oxidative stress-derived lipid peroxidation aldehyde. Post-translational enhancement of ALDH2 activity can be achieved by serine/threonine phosphorylation by epsilon protein kinase C (εPKC). Elevated ALDH2 is beneficial in reducing injury following myocardial infarction, stroke and other oxidative stress and aldehyde toxicity-related diseases. We have previously identified three εPKC phosphorylation sites, threonine 185 (T185), serine 279 (S279) and threonine 412 (T412), on ALDH2. Here we further characterized the role and contribution of each phosphorylation site to the enhancement of enzymatic activity by εPKC. Methods: Each individual phosphorylation site was mutated to a negatively charged amino acid, glutamate, to mimic a phosphorylation, or to a non-phosphorylatable amino acid, alanine. ALDH2 enzyme activities and protection against 4HNE inactivation were measured in the presence or absence of εPKC phosphorylation in vitro. Coevolution of ALDH2 and its εPKC phosphorylation sites was delineated by multiple sequence alignments among a diverse range of species and within the ALDH multigene family. Results: We identified S279 as a critical εPKC phosphorylation site in the activation of ALDH2. The critical catalytic site, cysteine 302 (C302) of ALDH2 is susceptible to adduct formation by reactive aldehyde, 4HNE, which readily renders the enzyme inactive.

    Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 1, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Letter MicroRNA–target pairs in the rat kidney identified by microRNA microarray, proteomic, and bioinformatic analysis Zhongmin Tian,1,2 Andrew S. Greene,1,2 Jennifer L. Pietrusz,1 Isaac R. Matus,2 and Mingyu Liang1,3 1Department of Physiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA; 2Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering Center, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA Mammalian genomes contain several hundred highly conserved genes encoding microRNAs. In silico analysis has predicted that a typical microRNA may regulate the expression of hundreds of target genes, suggesting miRNAs might have broad biological significance. A major challenge is to obtain experimental evidence for predicted microRNA–target pairs. We reasoned that reciprocal expression of a microRNA and a predicted target within a physiological context would support the presence and relevance of a microRNA–target pair. We used microRNA microarray and proteomic techniques to analyze the cortex and the medulla of rat kidneys. Of the 377 microRNAs analyzed, we identified 6 as enriched in the renal cortex and 11 in the renal medulla. From ∼2100 detectable protein spots in two-dimensional gels, we identified 58 proteins as more abundant in the renal cortex and 72 in the renal medulla. The differential expression of several microRNAs and proteins was verified by real-time PCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. Several pairs of reciprocally expressed microRNAs and proteins were predicted to be microRNA–target pairs by TargetScan, PicTar, or miRanda. Seven pairs were predicted by two algorithms and two pairs by all three algorithms.

Received: 2019.11.20; Accepted: 2020.01.03; Published: 2020.01.22 Abstract Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the key enzyme responsible for metabolism of the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde in the liver. In addition to conversion of the acetaldehyde molecule, ALDH is also involved in other cellular functions. Recently, many studies have investigated the involvement of ALDH expression in viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. Notably, ALDH2 expression has been linked with liver cancer risk, as well as pathogenesis and prognosis, and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. Of note, approximately 8% of the world’s population, and approximately 30-40% of the population in East Asia carry an inactive ALDH2 gene.
