kinase (PKR) is an interferon- inducible serine/threonine kinase that plays a crucial role in innate immunity against viral infections. Activated PKR downregulates global protein synthesis through phosphorylation of the α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) and induces transcriptional output of cellular mRNAs implicated in limiting viral spread. Accumulating evidence suggests that PKR is involved in a multitude of other cellular processes including signal transduction, apoptosis, cell growth and differentiation, as well as the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, small molecules targeting PKR would be useful as tools to help understand the intricacies of such biological pathways. In screening a library of natural and synthetic products for eukaryotic translation modulators, we identified two small molecules, isohymenialdisine and hymenialdisine, that exhibit stimulatory effects on translation. Characterization of the mode of action of isohymenialdisine revealed that it directly acts on PKR by inhibiting its autophosphorylation activity and perturbs the PKR-eIF2α phosphorylation axis. vi RÉ SUMÉ La protéine kinase dépendante de l’ARN double brin (PKR) est une kinase à sérine/threonine don’t l’activité est induite par l’interféron qui joue une rôle clé dans la défense immunitaire contre les infections virales. Lorsque PKR est active, elle régule négativement la synthèse protéique via la phosphorylation de la sous-unité α du facteur d’initiation de la traduction 2 (eIF2) et induit la transcription de certains ARN messagers cellulaires qui codent pour des gènes impliqués dans le contrôle de la propagation virale. PKR participe aussi à une multitude d’autres processus cellulaires qui incluent le contrôle de l’activité certaines voies de signalisation, l’apoptose, la croissance cellulaire, la différentiation ainsi que dans la pathogenèse de plusieurs maladies dégénératives. À cet égard, l’identification de molécules inhibitrices ciblant dette protéine pourrait faciliter son étude et la compréhension de ses fonctions biologiques. Lors d’un criblage d’une librairie de composés naturels pouvant moduler la synthèse protéique eucaryote, nous avons identifié deux molécules, l’isohymenialdisine et l’hymenialdisine, qui présentent un effet stimulateur sur la traduction. La caractérisation du mécanisme d’action de l’isohymenialdisine à démontré qu’elle agit directement sur PKR en bloquant son autophosphorylation et, par conséquent, celle d’eIF2α. vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Jerry Pelletier for his guidance, support, and insightful discussions throughout my graduate studies.

Description Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3, also known as protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EIF2AK3 gene. The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2, leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. This protein is thought to modulate mitochondrial function. It is a type I membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is induced by ER stress caused by malfolded proteins.

  • LIM and Cysteine-Rich Domains 1 (LMCD1) Regulates Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy, Calcium Handling, and Force Duarte M

Sreekumaran Nair8, Johanna T. Lanner2 and Jorge L. Ruas1* Abstract Background: Skeletal muscle mass and strength are crucial determinants of health. Muscle mass loss is associated with weakness, fatigue, and insulin resistance. In fact, it is predicted that controlling muscle atrophy can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with diseases such as cancer cachexia and sarcopenia. Methods: We analyzed gene expression data from muscle of mice or human patients with diverse muscle pathologies and identified LMCD1 as a gene strongly associated with skeletal muscle function. We transiently expressed or silenced LMCD1 in mouse gastrocnemius muscle or in mouse primary muscle cells and determined muscle/cell size, targeted gene expression, kinase activity with kinase arrays, protein immunoblotting, and protein synthesis levels. To evaluate force, calcium handling, and fatigue, we transduced the flexor digitorum brevis muscle with a LMCD1-expressing adenovirus and measured specific force and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release in individual fibers. Finally, to explore the relationship between LMCD1 and calcineurin, we ectopically expressed Lmcd1 in the gastrocnemius muscle and treated those mice with cyclosporine A (calcineurin inhibitor). In addition, we used a luciferase reporter construct containing the myoregulin gene promoter to confirm the role of a LMCD1- calcineurin-myoregulin axis in skeletal muscle mass control and calcium handling.

Iacobas Personalized Genomics Laboratory, CRI Center for Computational Systems Biology, Roy G Perry College of Engineering, Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-936-261-9926 Received: 1 August 2020; Accepted: 1 September 2020; Published: 2 September 2020 Abstract: Publicly available (own) transcriptomic data have been analyzed to quantify the alteration in functional pathways in thyroid cancer, establish the gene hierarchy, identify potential gene targets and predict the effects of their manipulation. The expression data have been generated by profiling one case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and genetically manipulated BCPAP (papillary) and 8505C (anaplastic) human thyroid cancer cell lines. The study used the genomic fabric paradigm that considers the transcriptome as a multi-dimensional mathematical object based on the three independent characteristics that can be derived for each gene from the expression data. We found remarkable remodeling of the thyroid hormone synthesis, cell cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and apoptosis pathways. Serine peptidase inhibitor, Kunitz type, 2 (SPINT2) was identified as the Gene Master Regulator of the investigated PTC. The substantial increase in the expression synergism of SPINT2 with apoptosis genes in the cancer nodule with respect to the surrounding normal tissue (NOR) suggests that SPINT2 experimental overexpression may force the PTC cells into apoptosis with a negligible effect on the NOR cells. The predictive value of the expression coordination for the expression regulation was validated with data from 8505C and BCPAP cell lines before and after lentiviral transfection with DDX19B.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ormeloxifene-induced unfolded protein response contributes to autophagy-associated apoptosis Received: 28 September 2016 Accepted: 19 January 2018 via disruption of Akt/mTOR and Published: xx xx xxxx activation of JNK Arindam Bhattacharjee1, Mohammad Hasanain2, Manoj Kathuria1, Akhilesh Singh2, Dipak Datta2,3, Jayanta Sarkar2,3 & Kalyan Mitra1,3 Autophagy, a regulated nutrient recycling program can afect both cell survival and cell death. Here, we show that Ormeloxifene (ORM), a selective estrogen receptor modulator approved for oral contraceptive use induces autophagic fux in ovarian cancer cells, which is activated by an ER stress response upstream of autophagy. The ER stress response is characterized by activation of IRE1α, PERK and ATF6 and is under regulation of JNK. Pharmacological inhibition of either autophagy or ER stress increased cell survival, as did silencing of autophagy proteins LC3 and Beclin 1, implying that ORM-induced autophagy is pro-death in nature. Ultrastructural observations of treated cells confrmed stages of autophagic maturation. Caspase-dependent apoptosis succeeded these events and was characterized by generation of reactive oxygen species and disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential. A concomitant inhibition of the Akt/mTOR axis was also observed with possible regulation of Akt by ORM. ORM inhibited tumor growth in ovarian xenograft model and displayed autophagic activity. In summary, in vitro and in vivo results reveal that ORM induces autophagy-associated cell death to attenuate proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Our results demonstrate that using ORM in combination with ER stress and autophagy modulators could ofer better therapeutic outcome in ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is one of the leading gynecological malignancies among women in terms of mortality1.

  • Characterization of a Novel PERK Kinase Inhibitor with Antitumor and Anti-Angiogenic Activity
    Published OnlineFirst January 18, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-3109 Cancer Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Research Characterization of a Novel PERK Kinase Inhibitor with Antitumor and Anti-Angiogenic Activity Charity Atkins1, Qi Liu1, Elisabeth Minthorn1, Shu-Yun Zhang1, David J. Figueroa1, Katherine Moss1, Thomas B. Stanley3, Brent Sanders1, Aaron Goetz2, Nathan Gaul2, Anthony E. Choudhry2, Hasan Alsaid4, Beat M. Jucker4, Jeffrey M. Axten1, and Rakesh Kumar1 Abstract The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a signal transduction pathway that coordinates cellular adaptation to microenvironmental stresses that include hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and change in redox status. These stress stimuli are common in many tumors and thus targeting components of the UPR signaling is an attractive therapeutic approach. We have identified a first-in-class, small molecule inhibitor of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (EIF2AK3) or PERK, one of the three mediators of UPR signaling. GSK2656157 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of PERK enzyme activity with an IC50 of 0.9 nmol/L. It is highly selective for PERK with IC50 values >100 nmol/L against a panel of 300 kinases. GSK2656157 inhibits PERK activity in cells – with an IC50 in the range of 10 30 nmol/L as shown by inhibition of stress-induced PERK autophosphorylation, eIF2a substrate phosphorylation, together with corresponding decreases in ATF4 and CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in multiple cell lines. Oral administration of GSK2656157 to mice shows a dose- and time-dependent pharmacodynamic response in pancreas as measured by PERK autophosphoryla- tion. Twice daily dosing of GSK2656157 results in dose-dependent inhibition of multiple human tumor xenografts growth in mice.

  • Gene Expression Profiling of NB4 Cells Following Knockdown of Nucleostemin Using DNA Microarrays
    MOLECULAR MEDICINE REPORTS 14: 175-183, 2016 Gene expression profiling of NB4 cells following knockdown of nucleostemin using DNA microarrays XIAOLI SUN1-5, YU JIA1,3-5, YUANYU WEI1,3-5, SHUAI LIU1,3-5 and BAOHONG YUE1,3-5 1Department of Laboratory, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University;2 Department of Laboratory, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of TCM; 3Faculty of Laboratory Medicine, Zhengzhou University; 4The Key-Disciplines Laboratory Clinical Medicine in Henan Province; 5Key Lab of Clinical Laboratory Medicine of Henan Province, Zhengzhou, Henan 450052, P.R. China Received December 23, 2014; Accepted December 18, 2015 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2016.5213 Abstract. Nucleostemin (NS) is mainly expressed in stem undifferentiated properties of self-renewal certain types of and tumor cells, and is necessary for the maintenance of stem cell (1,2) as well as germ cell tumors (3). Furthermore, their self-renewal and proliferation. Originally, NS was NS is abundantly expressed in numerous tumor types, thought to exert its effects through inhibiting p53, while including prostate cancer (4), esophageal cancer (5), breast recent studies have revealed that NS is also able to function carcinoma (6) and gastric adenocarcinoma (7). Elevated NS independently of p53. The present study performed a gene expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with expression profiling analysis of p53-mutant NB4 leukeima various types of cancer (8,9). Furthermore, knockdown of NS cells following knockdown of NS in order to elucidate the was shown to inhibit cell proliferation as well as induce cell p53-independent NS pathway. NS expression was silenced cycle arrest and apoptosis (6,10-13).
