The Journal of Immunology Mechanism and Repertoire of ASC-Mediated Gene Expression1 Mizuho Hasegawa,2* Ryu Imamura,* Kou Motani,* Takumi Nishiuchi,† Norihiko Matsumoto,* Takeshi Kinoshita,* and Takashi Suda3* Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) is an adaptor molecule that mediates inflammatory and apoptotic signals. Although the role of ASC in caspase-1-mediated IL-1␤ and IL-18 maturation is well known, ASC also induces NF-␬B activation and cytokine gene expression in human cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism and repertoire of ASC-induced gene expression in human cells. We found that the specific activation of ASC induced AP-1 activity, which was required for optimal IL8 promoter activity. ASC activation also induced STAT3-, but not STAT1-, IFN-stimulated gene factor 3- or NF-AT-dependent reporter gene expression. The ASC-mediated AP-1 activation was NF-␬B-independent and primarily cell-autonomous response, whereas the STAT3 activation required NF-␬B activation and was mediated by a factor that can act in a paracrine manner. ASC-mediated AP-1 activation was inhibited by chemical or protein inhibitors for caspase-8, caspase-8-targeting small-interfering RNA, and p38 and JNK inhibitors, but Downloaded from not by a caspase-1 inhibitor, caspase-9 or Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) dominant-negative mutants, FADD- or RICK-targeting small-interfering RNAs, or a MEK inhibitor, indicating that the ASC-induced AP-1 activation is mediated by caspase-8, p38, and JNK, but does not require caspase-1, caspase-9, FADD, RICK, or ERK. DNA microarray analyses identified 75 genes that were induced by ASC activation. A large proportion of them was related to transcription (23%), inflammation (21%), or cell death (16%), indicating that ASC is a potent inducer of inflammatory and cell death-related genes.

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).

    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.

  • Rearrangements and Amplification of IER3 (IEX-1) Represent a Novel and Recurrent Molecular Abnormality in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Ketterling1 1Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; 2Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona; and 3Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Phoenix, Arizona Abstract Introduction IER3 (formerly IEX-1) encodes a 27-kDa glycoprotein that IER3 (immediate early response 3), formerly known as IEX-1 or regulates death receptor–induced apoptosis, interacts with p22/PRG1, was cloned from a squamous carcinoma cell line in 1996 NF-KB pathways, and increases expression rapidly in response and localized to chromosome 6p21.3 (1). IER3 is expressed in a to cellular stresses such as irradiation. Animal models, gene broad range of human tissues, including hematopoietic cells, and expression microarray experiments, and functional studies encodes a 156 amino acid (27 kDa glycosylated) protein so named in cell lines have suggested a potential role for IER3 in because intracellular levels increase rapidly following ionizing oncogenesis, but, to date, no abnormalities of IER3 at the DNA radiation exposure, with maximal expression at f15 min level have been reported in patients with neoplasia. Here, postexposure (1, 2). Death receptor agonists [Fas ligand and tumor we describe breakpoint cloning of a t(6;9)(p21;q34) translo- necrosis factor a (TNF-a)] also induce IER3 expression, as does the cation from a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, facilitated by conversion technology and array-based com- retinoic acid, hydroxytamoxifen, or etoposide, and cellular stresses parative genomic hybridization, which revealed a rearrange- such as mechanical stretching or viral infection (3, 4).

  • Oxidative Stress-Dependent

We previously developed plasma-activated medium (PAM) and plasma-activated Ringer’s lactate solutions (PAL) for cancer treatments. Many in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that both PAM and PAL exhibit anti-tumor efects in several types of cancer cells such as ovarian, gastric, and pancreatic cancer cells as well as glioblastoma cells. However, interestingly, PAM induces more intracellular reactive oxygen species in glioblastoma cells than PAL. To investigate the diferences in intracellular molecular mechanisms of the efects of PAM and PAL in glioblastoma cells, we measured gene expression levels of antioxidant genes such as CAT, SOD2, and GPX1. Microarray and quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed that PAM elevated stress- inducible genes that induce apoptosis such as GADD45α signaling molecules. PAL suppressed genes downstream of the survival and proliferation signaling network such as YAP/TEAD signaling molecules. These data reveal that PAM and PAL induce apoptosis in glioblastoma cells by diferent intracellular molecular mechanisms. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma is a partially ionized gas that consists of electrons, ions, radicals, and photons, and has been recently used for medical applications1–10.
