Cloning of the villin-LMα1 vector

The plasmid pBS-villin-promoter containing the 3.5 Kb of the murine villin promoter, the first non coding exon, 5.5 kb of the first intron and 15 nucleotides of the second villin exon, was generated by S. Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start

codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer:

  • 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’.
  • A
  • double strand

  • and
  • annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’

5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and

SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers

5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’

before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France).

After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid

pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated

Yurchenco, Piscataway, NJ, USA). The BsiWI-MluI fragment containing the LMα1 cDNA was gel purified and subcloned into the BsiWI-MluI sites of the pBS-villin-promoter-MES-SV40- polyA vector giving rise to plasmid pBS-villin-LMα1.

Generation of vLMα1 transgenic mice and of the vLMα1/APC+/1638 mice

From the pBS vLMα1 plasmid a SalI fragment containing the 9 kb villin promoter region followed by the mouse LMα1 cDNA and the SV40 polyA was obtained, purified and used for

injection into pronuclei of fertilized oocytes (F1 hybrid C57Bl/6 x DBA/2, transgenic facility of the IGBMC, Strasbourg, France). Germline transmission was determined by PCR analysis of

(5’ATAGGAAGCCAGTTTCCCTTC3’) and the LM17 primer present in the 5’ region of the LMα1 cDNA (5’TGACCCAGAGCACCGAGGCCA3’) generating a fragment of 152 bp. For

confirmation a second PCR was done obtaining a 166 bp product with primer LM116 present

in the 3’ region of the Lama1 cDNA (5’GCCTCATTCCGGGGCTGTGTG3’) and primer SV40

3’ (5’AATGTGGTATGGCTGATTATG3’) encompassing the SV40 polyA sequence. Two out

of 68 villin-LMα1 (vLMα1) founders showed stable integration and expression, and were further used in parallel for all experiments. Heterozygous vLMα1 mice were kept in a CD1

background (Charles River, L'Arbresle Cedex, France). In certain cases, vLMα1 mice were crossed with APC+/1638N mice (1). Double transgenic mice were kept on a CD1 background.

Generation of LMα1 knock-down cells

2

Cliniscience, Nanterre, France) together with pLP1, pLP2 and pLP/VSVG lentiviral packaging plasmids (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Saint Aubin, France) to obtain lentiviral particles. After 48 hours, conditioned media from HEK293T were collected, filtered through a 0.22 µm filter to remove cell debris, and used to transduce HCT116 cells (ATTC CCL-247) cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, USA) in the presence of 5µg/mL polybrene (Sigma Aldrich, Lyon, France), followed by selection with puromycin (1.6 µg/mL, Sigma Aldrich, Lyon, France). Expression of LM1 mRNAs and protein was determined by qRT-PCR and ELISA.

Surface Plasmon Resonance

Surface Plasmon Resonance-Binding experiments were performed on a Biacore 2000 instrument (Biacore Inc., GE Healthcare, Velizy-Villacoublay, France) at 25 °C. VEGFA165 (R&D systems, Minneapolis, USA) or VEGFA121 (Prospecbio, East Brunswick, USA) was immobilized (10µl/ml) at high surface density (5.000 response units) on an activated CM5 chip using standard amine-coupling procedures, as described by the manufacturer. LM-111

was injected at a concentration of 10 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, and at a flow rate of 5 μL/min during 20 min. Free groups were blocked by injecting 1M ethanolamine. To

perform binding assays, LM-111 at different concentrations (from 5 to 20µg in 200µL) was injected in 10 mM MES, pH 6.0, 150 mM NaCl, with 0.005% (v/v) Tween 20, at a flow rate of

10 μL/min. Blank surfaces were used for background corrections. Injections of 10 mM glycine, pH 2.0, at 100 μL/min for 1 min were used to regenerate surfaces between two

binding experiments. Steady state analysis was used to estimate the affinity of VEGF165 to LM-111. Dissociation constants (Kd) were estimated using 1:1 Langmuir association model as described by the manufacturer.

Gene expression analysis

RNA was extracted using the Tri Reagent according to manufacturer’s instructions

(Molecular Research Center Inc., Euromedex, Souffelweyersheim, France). RNA-Seq

3

experiments were performed at the IGBMC Affymetrix Core Facility (Illkirch, France). Library of template molecules suitable for high throughput DNA sequencing was created following

the Illumina “Truseq RNA sample preparation low throughput” protocol with some

modifications. Briefly, mRNA was purified from 2 µg total RNA using oligo-dT magnetic beads and fragmented using divalent cations at 94°C for 8 minutes. The cleaved mRNA fragments were reverse transcribed into cDNA using random primers, then the second strand of the cDNA was synthesized using Polymerase I and RNase H. The next steps of RNA-Seq Library preparation were performed in a fully automated system using SPRIworks Fragment Library System I kit (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, USA) with the SPRI-TE instrument (Beckman Coulter). Briefly, in this system double stranded cDNA fragments were blunted, phosphorylated and ligated to indexed adapter dimers, and fragments in the range of ~200- 400 bp were size selected. The automated steps were followed by PCR amplification (30 sec at 98°C; [10 sec at 98°C, 30 sec at 60°C, 30 sec at 72°C] x 12 cycles; 5 min at 72°C), then surplus PCR primers were removed by purification using AMPure XP beads (Agencourt Biosciences Corporation, Beverly, USA). DNA libraries were checked for quality and quantified using 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Les Ulis, France). The libraries were loaded in the flow cell at 8pM concentration and clusters generated and sequenced in the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIX as single-end 72 base reads. The separation of RNA sequencing reads derived from the human tumor cells and the host murine cells was performed in silico using the Xenome software (2) that is designed to discriminate species specific sequences in a xenograft environment. Each Fastq file was separated into mouse specific and human specific sequencing reads. These were subsequently aligned using Tophat2 (3) and processed using the Cufflinks (4) pipeline to generate the final expression files. Three

independent subcutaneous tumors generated from control or HT29LMα1 cells were

sequenced. Raw data can be found using the GEO accession number GSE84296. Changes in gene expression in dependence of LMα1 are shown as Log2 fold-change (Fc) values. We chose a cutoff with a p-value <0.05, a Log2 difference of +/-0.5 for genes of stromal cells and a cutoff with a p-value <0.01, a Log2 difference of +/-1 for genes of cancer cells.

Microarray experiments were performed at the IGBMC Affymetrix Core Facility (Illkirch, France). Biotinylated single strand cDNA targets were prepared by using 250 ng of total RNA and the Ambion WT Expression Kit (Ambion, Fisher Scientific, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, France) or the Affymetrix GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA) according to manufacturer`s recommendations. Following fragmentation and end-labelling,

2.07 μg of cDNAs were hybridized for 16 hours at 45oC on GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST

arrays (Affymetrix) interrogating 28.869 genes represented by approximately 27 probes spread across the full length of the gene. The chips were washed and stained in the GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix) and scanned with the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G (Affymetrix) at a resolution of 0,7 µm. Raw data (.CEL Intensity files) were extracted from the scanned images using the Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console (AGCC) version 3.1. CEL files were further processed with Affymetrix Expression Console software version 1. 1 to calculate probe set signal intensities using Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) algorithms with default settings. Three separate hybridizations were performed with independent

samples from control or HT29LMα1 cells. Raw data can be found using the GEO accession

number GSE83747. Changes in gene expression in dependence of LMα1 are shown as Log2 fold-change (Fc) values. We chose a cutoff with a p-value <0.01, a Log2 difference of +/-1 for genes of cancer cells.

Gene list analysis was done by using the gene ontology online Amigo tool

(http://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo)

  • and

(http://pantherdb.org/webservices/go/overrep.jsp) with default parameters.

For qRT-PCR, RNA was treated with DNase I and reverse transcribed using the High Capacity cDNA RT Kit. qRT-PCR was performed using the Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix or TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix. All compounds were purchased from Life Technologies (St Aubin, France). Primer sequences or probes are listed in Supplemental

Table S8. Two sets of primers/probes were used to determine LMα1 expression in human

tumors, one located in the 5' (Taqman) and another in the 3' region of the gene, giving similar

5

results. Relative expression level 2e-ΔΔct was calculated for each individual sample. For xenograft analysis, a primer design approach was used to obtain species specific qRT-PCR primers. The coding regions of the mouse and human homologous cDNA sequences were aligned (www.ensembl.org). Regions of low homology were chosen for selection of species specific primers that were always spanning an intron. Primer specificity was confirmed by using cDNA from human or mouse tissues. Only primers giving an efficiency value between 93 to 108% were used. When calculating murine or human gene expression in the xenograft tumors, primers for mouse or human PBDG (porphobilinogen deaminase) were used for normalization, respectively. For colon tumors, data were normalized to the reference gene GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase).

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

    Sodium Pumps Mediate Activity-Dependent Changes in Mammalian Motor Networks

    906 • The Journal of Neuroscience, January 25, 2017 • 37(4):906–921 Systems/Circuits Sodium Pumps Mediate Activity-Dependent Changes in Mammalian Motor Networks X Laurence D. Picton, XFilipe Nascimento, XMatthew J. Broadhead, XKeith T. Sillar, and XGareth B. Miles School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9JP, United Kingdom Ubiquitously expressed sodium pumps are best known for maintaining the ionic gradients and resting membrane potential required for generating action potentials. However, activity- and state-dependent changes in pump activity can also influence neuronal firing and regulate rhythmic network output. Here we demonstrate that changes in sodium pump activity regulate locomotor networks in the spinal cord of neonatal mice. The sodium pump inhibitor, ouabain, increased the frequency and decreased the amplitude of drug-induced locomotor bursting, effects that were dependent on the presence of the neuromodulator dopamine. Conversely, activating the pump with the sodium ionophore monensin decreased burst frequency. When more “natural” locomotor output was evoked using dorsal-root stimulation, ouabain increased burst frequency and extended locomotor episode duration, whereas monensin slowed and shortened episodes. Decreasing the time between dorsal-root stimulation, and therefore interepisode interval, also shortened and slowed activity, suggesting that pump activity encodes information about past network output and contributes to feedforward control of subsequent locomotor bouts. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from spinal motoneurons and interneurons, we describe a long-duration (ϳ60 s), activity-dependent, TTX- and ouabain-sensitive, hyperpolarization (ϳ5 mV), which is mediated by spike-dependent increases in pump activity. The duration of this dynamic pump potential is enhanced by dopamine.

Here, we investigated a panel of eight CAXII inhibitors (compounds 1–8), for their potential to reverse Pgp mediated tumor cell chemoresistance. Inhibitors (5 nM) were screened in human and murine cancer cells (colon, lung, breast, bone) with different expression levels of CAXII and Pgp. We identified three CAXII inhibitors (compounds 1, 2 and 4) that significantly (≥ 2 fold) increased the intracellular retention of the Pgp-substrate and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin, and restored its cytotoxic activity. The inhibitors lowered intracellular pH to indirectly impair Pgp activity. Ca12-knockout assays confirmed that the chemosensitizing property of the compounds was dependent on active CAXII. Furthermore, in a preclinical model of drug-resistant breast tumors compound 1 (1900 ng/kg) restored the efficacy of doxorubicin to the same extent as the direct Pgp inhibitor tariquidar. The expression of carbonic anhydrase IX had no effect on the intracellular doxorubicin accumulation.

While these subtypes are known to originate from the embryonic caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE), the specific genetic programs that direct their positioning, maturation, and integration into the cortical network have not been eluci- dated. Here, we report that in mice expression of the transcription factor Prox1 is selectively maintained in postmitotic CGE-derived cortical interneuron precursors and that loss of Prox1 impairs the integration of these cells into superficial layers. Moreover, Prox1 differentially regulates the postnatal maturation of each specific subtype originating from the CGE (RELN, Calb2/VIP, and VIP).

    Conservation and Divergence of ADAM Family Proteins in the Xenopus Genome

    Wei et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:211 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/211 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access ConservationResearch article and divergence of ADAM family proteins in the Xenopus genome Shuo Wei*1, Charles A Whittaker2, Guofeng Xu1, Lance C Bridges1,3, Anoop Shah1, Judith M White1 and Douglas W DeSimone1 Abstract Background: Members of the disintegrin metalloproteinase (ADAM) family play important roles in cellular and developmental processes through their functions as proteases and/or binding partners for other proteins. The amphibian Xenopus has long been used as a model for early vertebrate development, but genome-wide analyses for large gene families were not possible until the recent completion of the X. tropicalis genome sequence and the availability of large scale expression sequence tag (EST) databases. In this study we carried out a systematic analysis of the X. tropicalis genome and uncovered several interesting features of ADAM genes in this species. Results: Based on the X. tropicalis genome sequence and EST databases, we identified Xenopus orthologues of mammalian ADAMs and obtained full-length cDNA clones for these genes. The deduced protein sequences, synteny and exon-intron boundaries are conserved between most human and X. tropicalis orthologues. The alternative splicing patterns of certain Xenopus ADAM genes, such as adams 22 and 28, are similar to those of their mammalian orthologues. However, we were unable to identify an orthologue for ADAM7 or 8. The Xenopus orthologue of ADAM15, an active metalloproteinase in mammals, does not contain the conserved zinc-binding motif and is hence considered proteolytically inactive. We also found evidence for gain of ADAM genes in Xenopus as compared to other species.
