Therefore, the phosphorylation of DBC1 following genotoxic stress in cells is a crucial step and must be tightly regulated to maintain cellular integrity. INTRODUCTION Recently, we and others have identified the role of the protein 1 phosphatase 4 (PP4) in DDR (Chowdhury et al., 2008; Lee and Genotoxic stress inducing DNA breaks and replication stress Lee, 2014; Lee et al., 2010; 2012; 2014; Nakada et al., 2008; stimulates genomic instability and cellular transformation.

  • Understanding the Role of Perilipin 5 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Its Role in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Review of Novel Insights
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Understanding the Role of Perilipin 5 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Its Role in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Review of Novel Insights Paola Berenice Mass Sanchez, Marinela Krizanac, Ralf Weiskirchen * and Anastasia Asimakopoulos * Institute of Molecular Pathobiochemistry, Experimental Gene Therapy and Clinical Chemistry (IFMPEGKC), RWTH University Hospital Aachen, D-52074 Aachen, Germany; [email protected] (P.B.M.S.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.W.); [email protected] (A.A.) Abstract: Consumption of high-calorie foods, such as diets rich in fats, is an important factor leading to the development of steatohepatitis. Several studies have suggested how lipid accumulation creates a lipotoxic microenvironment for cells, leading cells to deregulate their transcriptional and transla- tional activity. This deregulation induces the development of liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and subsequently also the appearance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which is one of the deadliest types of cancers worldwide. Understanding its pathology and studying new biomarkers with better specificity in predicting disease prognosis can help in the personalized treatment of the disease. In this setting, understanding the link between NAFLD and HCC progression, the differentiation of each stage in between as well as the mechanisms underlying this process, are vital for development of new treatments and in exploring new therapeutic targets.

We utilized one such recently developed approach, MIRA (methylated-CpG island recovery assay) combined with CpG island arrays to identify novel genes that are epigenetically inactivated in breast cancer. Results: Using this approach we identified numerous CpG islands that demonstrated aberrant DNA methylation in breast cancer cell lines. Using a combination of COBRA and sequencing of bisulphite modified DNA, we confirmed 5 novel genes frequently methylated in breast tumours; EMILIN2, SALL1, DBC1, FBLN2 and CIDE-A. Methylation frequencies ranged from between 25% and 63% in primary breast tumours, whilst matched normal breast tissue DNA was either unmethylated or demonstrated a much lower frequency of methylation compared to malignant breast tissue DNA. Furthermore expression of the above 5 genes was shown to be restored following treatment with a demethylating agent in methylated breast cancer cell lines. We have expanded this analysis across three other common epithelial cancers (lung, colorectal, prostate). We demonstrate that the above genes show varying levels of methylation in these cancers. Lastly and most importantly methylation of EMILIN2 was associated with poorer clinical outcome in breast cancer and was strongly associated with estrogen receptor as well as progesterone receptor positive breast cancers.

NIH-PA Author ManuscriptPublished NIH-PA Author Manuscript in final edited NIH-PA Author Manuscript form as: Cellscience. 2008 April 1; 4(4): 50±56. Can Sir(2) regulate cancer? Pratibha V. Nerurkar1 and Vivek R. Nerurkar2 1 Laboratory of Metabolic Disorders and Alternative Medicine, Dept. of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering (MBBE), CTAHR, , University of Hawaii, Honolulu 2 Retrovirology Research Laboratory, Dept. of Tropical Medicine, Medical Microbiology & Pharmacology, Asia-Pacific Institute of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu Abstract Sirtuin activators, including small molecules such as polyphenols and resveratrol, are much desired due to their potential to ameliorate metabolic disorder and delay or prevent aging. In contrast, recent studies demonstrate that targeted silencing of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression or activity by the deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) may be beneficial by promoting p53-induced apoptosis in cancer cells, and by sensitizing cancerous cells to radiation therapy. Negative SIRT1 regulation also alleviates gene-repression associated with fragile X mental retardation syndrome. The targeted activation or inhibition of SIRT1 activity therefore emerges as a critical point of regulation in disease pathogenesis. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), mammalian homologue of the silencing information regulator 2 (Sir2) yeast gene, is a class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase that is conserved across species and plays an important role in extending lifespan [1]. Located within the nucleus, SIRT1 regulates cell survival by modulating cellular stress, metabolic pathways and apoptosis. Although the numerous targets and functions of SIRT1 are constantly being unraveled (as summarized in Figure 1 and reviewed in [2–6]), cell survival was initially demonstrated to involve the SIRT-associated deacetylation of tumor suppressor gene, p53 [7–9].

The aim of this review article is to sum up the data coming from genome ‑wide association genetic studies in schizophrenia, and indicate prospective directions of further scientific endeavour. Methods: We searched the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Catalog of genome‑wide association studies for schizophrenia to identify all papers related to this topic. In consequence, we looked up the possible relevancy of these findings for etiology and pathogenesis of schizophrenia using the computer gene and PubMed databases. Results: Eighteen genome‑wide association studies in schizophrenia have been published till now, referring to fifty‑seven genes supposedly involved into schizophrenia’s etiopathogenesis. Most of these genes are related to neurodevelopment, neuroendocrinology, and immunology. Conclusions: It

Bickel1 Dysfunctional cellular lipid metabolism contributes to common chronic human diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease and diabetic cardiomyopathy. How cells balance lipid storage and mitochondrial oxidative capacity is poorly understood. Here we identify the lipid droplet protein Perilipin 5 as a catecholamine-triggered interaction partner of PGC-1a. We report that during catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis, Perilipin 5 is phosphory- lated by protein kinase A and forms transcriptional complexes with PGC-1a and SIRT1 in the nucleus. Perilipin 5 promotes PGC-1a co-activator function by disinhibiting SIRT1 deacetylase activity. We show by gain-and-loss of function studies in cells that nuclear Perilipin 5 promotes transcription of genes that mediate mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative function. We propose that Perilipin 5 is an important molecular link that couples the coordinated catecholamine activation of the PKA pathway and of lipid droplet lipolysis with transcriptional regulation to promote efficient fatty acid catabolism and prevent mitochondrial dysfunction. 1 Division of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75390, USA. 2 Center for Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases, The Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine for The Prevention Of Human Diseases, UT Health, Houston, Texas 77030, USA.

(+91) 962-220-9997 Abstract DBC1 plays a critical role in various cellular functions notably cell proliferation, transcription, histone modification and adipogenesis. Current reports about the role of DBC1 in tumorigenesis are paradoxical and designate DBC1 both as a tumor suppressor or an oncogene. Here, using small T antigen of polyoma virus (PyST) as a tool, we have delineated a signaling mechanism that connects LKB1 to AKT1 via DBC1. We report that PyST associates with DBC1 and leads to its down- regulation. Our results also show that PyST expression promotes LKB1 activation which in turn leads to in the downregulation of DBC1 protein. Absence of DBC1 results in transcriptional upregulation and consequently enhanced protein levels of TRB3. TRB3 sequesters AKT1, and consequently the phosphorylation and activity of AKT1 is compromised. This ultimately results in inactivation of pro- survival pathways triggered via AKT1 signaling.
