Chapter 6 Transcriptional profiling of ABC transporters in murine foam cells and atherosclerotic lesions identifies putative novel targets for improving macrophage lipid homeostasis Illiana Meurs, Martine Bot, Bart Lammers, Theo J.C. Van Berkel, and Miranda Van Eck Division of Biopharmaceutics, Leiden/Amsterdam Center for Drug Research, Gorlaeus Laboratories, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Manuscript in preparation Chapter 6 ABSTRACT Objective- Excessive accumulation of cholesterol by macrophages leading to their transformation into foam cells is the earliest pathological hallmark of atherosclerosis. Key regulators of macrophage cholesterol and phospholipid efflux are the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCA1 and ABCG1. The objective of this study was to identify new ABC transporters that are differentially expressed during macrophage foam cell formation induced by the commonly used pro-atherogenic lipoproteins βVLDL and oxLDL and during atherosclerotic lesion development. Methods and Results- Using a collar-induced carotid artery atherosclerosis model, transcriptional profiling of ABC transporters was performed in atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid artery of LDLr KO mice after 2 weeks of Western-type diet (WTD) feeding. The expression levels of 46 ABC transporters were investigated of which 6 transporters were significantly regulated during lesion development, including ABCB1b, ABCB4, ABCC3, ABCC9, ABCD3, and ABCG1, of which ABCB1b, ABCC3, and ABCG1 displayed the highest upregulation. Next, ABC transporter expression was determined in peritoneal macrophages (PM) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) loaded with βVLDL or oxLDL. In total 12 ABC transporters were differentially expressed in the macrophage foam cells compared to non-foamy cells, including ABCA3, ABCB1b, ABCB2, ABCB4, ABCB6, ABCB7, ABCC3, ABCC5, ABCC10, ABCD3, ABCF2, and ABCG1. Notably, ABCB4 showed a remarkable 8-fold upregulation in BMDM specifically loaded with oxLDL. Conclusion- This study indentified several new ABC transporters which are regulated during foam cell formation and atherosclerotic lesion development. Of particular interest are the ABC transporters ABCB1b, ABCB2, ABCB4, and ABCB6 as they are significantly regulated in both peritoneal and bone marrow-derived macrophages upon cellular lipid loading and showed a 1.2- 8.2 fold-change. In agreement, ABCB1b and ABCB4 were also significantly induced in atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid arteries. These ABC transporters might form new targets to modulate foam cell formation and the extend of atherosclerotic lesion development. INTRODUCTION Maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis in macrophages is essential to prevent foam cell formation and the initiation of atherosclerotic lesion development. Macrophages, however, are incapable of limiting the uptake of lipoproteins via scavenger receptors. Therefore, mechanisms by which macrophages export cellular cholesterol are of particular importance. The principal molecules involved in efflux of cholesterol from macrophage foam cells are the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCA11 and ABCG12 and scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI)3, 4. The ABC transporter genes are evolutionary highly conserved and represent one of the largest family of transmembrane (TM) proteins. ABC transporters utilize the energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump a wide variety of substrates, including sugars, amino acids, metal ions, peptides, proteins, and a large number of hydrophobic compounds and 166 Transcriptional profiling of ABC transporters metabolites across extra- and intracellular membranes.5 To date, 52 members of the ABC transporter family have been identified in humans, which are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABCA-G), based on organization of domains and amino acid homology.6 ABC transporters are organized as either full or as half transporters. Full transporters contain two identical TM domains and two nucleotide binding folds (NBFs), while half transporters contain one of each domain and must form either homodimers or heterodimers to become functional. The TM domains contain 6 membrane-spanning α-helices, which determine the substrate specificity and provide the pathway for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. The NBFs contain characteristic Walker A and B motifs and a signature (C) motif and act as an energy source by binding of ATP.6-8 As ABC transporters play a role in lipid transport and a vast majority is highly expressed in macrophages9, 10, it was evident that more ABC transporters are involved in macrophage lipid homeostasis and play critical roles in foam cell formation and atherogenesis. The aim of this study was to identify new ABC transporters that are differentially expressed during macrophage foam cell formation and atherosclerotic lesion development. Microarray analyses were performed to assess the regulation of ABC transporters in atherosclerotic lesions in carotid arteries in vivo and in lipid-loaded macrophages in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chapter 6 Chapter Animals Microarray analysis was performed on atherosclerotic lesions induced in the carotid artery of LDL receptor knockout (LDLr KO, 12 weeks of age) by perivascular collar placement. Briefly, after 2 weeks of run-in Western-type diet (WTD) feeding, atherosclerosis was induced by bilateral perivascular collar placement (2mm long, diameter 0.3 mm) around both carotid arteries in female LDLr KO mice. Subsequently, these LDLr KO mice were fed WTD for 2 weeks to induce the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Control arteries were isolated from LDLr KO mice which only received 2 weeks of run-in WTD feeding. After the indicated feeding period, mice were anaesthetized, perfused with PBS via the left ventricle of the heart, and the carotid arteries were prepared free of fat tissue and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC until total RNA (tRNA) analysis. Furthermore, for microarray analysis of cultured macrophages, 7 female C57Bl/6 mice, 10 weeks of age and maintained on sterilized regular chow diet containing 4.3% (w/w) fat and no cholesterol (RM3, Special Diet Services, Witham, UK), were used. Animal experiments were performed at the Gorlaeus Laboratories of the Leiden/Amsterdam Center for Drug Research in accordance with the National Laws. All experimental protocols were approved by the Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments of Leiden University. Isolation of lipoproteins Beta-migrating very-low-density lipoprotein (βVLDL) was obtained from rats fed a RMH-B diet, containing 2% cholesterol, 5% olive oil, and 0.5% cholic acid for 2 weeks (Abdiets). The rats were fasted overnight and anesthetized after which blood was collected by puncture of 167 Chapter 6 the abdominal aorta. Serum was centrifuged at 40,000 rpm in a discontinuous KBr gradient for 18 hours as reported earlier.11 βVLDL (density <1.019 g/mL) was collected and dialysed against phosphate buffered saline, containing 1 mM EDTA (PBS/1mM EDTA). Isolated βVLDL was characterized as described previously.12 Furthermore, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (density 1.063 to 1.019 g/mL) was isolated from plasma of healthy human volunteers by ultracentrifugation in a KBr discontinuous gradient and dialysed against PBS/1mM EDTA according to Redgrave et al.11. For generation of oxidized-LDL (oxLDL), LDL was oxidatively modified by incubation of 200 µg/mL of LDL with 10 µM CuSO4 (subscript) at 37°C for 20 h. Oxidation was terminated by dialysis against PBS containing 0.5 mM EDTA for at least 24h. Macrophage culture Peritoneal macrophages (PM) and bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) were used for analysis. PM were harvested by lavage of the peritoneal cavity of C57Bl/6 mice with 10ml of PBS at 5 days after intraperitoneal injection of 1mL of 3% Brewer thioglycollate medium (Difco, Detroit, MI). After three washing steps, the cells were plated in multi well culture dishes with DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). After 4 hours the non adherent cells were removed by washing and the adherent macrophage were cultured overnight in DMEM containing 10% FCS until start of the experiment. For generation of BMDM, bone marrow cells, isolated from female C57/Bl6 mice, were cultured for 7 days in complete RPMI medium supplemented with 20% FCS and 30% L929 cell-conditioned medium, as the source of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). After 7 days of culture, the BMDM were harvested using 4mM EDTA, washed three times and plated in multi well culture dishes with DMEM containing 10% FCS until start of the experiment. Macrophage lipid loading PM or BMDM were incubated with βVLDL (50 µg/mL), or oxLDL (20 µg/mL) in DMEM containing 0.2% BSA for 48 hours at 37°C. Subsequently, the cells were washed three times with PBS, lysed in lysis buffer (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA) and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC until tRNA isolation. Microarray protocol tRNA was isolated from PM or BMDM

Hassan1,2* , Raquel Duarte3, Victor O. Mabayoje4, Caroline Dickens3, Akeem O. Lasisi5 and Saraladevi Naicker6 Abstract Background: Individuals of African descent are at higher risk of developing kidney disease than their European counterparts, and HIV infection is associated with increased risk of nephropathy. Despite a safe renal profile in the clinical trials, long-term use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with proximal renal tubulopathy although the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined. We aim to establish the prevalence of and risk factors for TDF-induced kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD) among HIV-I and II individuals treated with TDF in south-west Nigeria. Association between TDF-induced KTD and genetic polymorphisms in renal drug transporter genes and the APOL1 (Apolipoprotein L1) gene will be examined. Methods: This study has two phases. An initial cross-sectional study will screen 3000 individuals attending the HIV clinics in south-west Nigeria for KTD to determine the prevalence and risk factors. This will be followed by a case- control study of 400 KTD cases and 400 matched controls to evaluate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations. Data on socio-demographics, risk factors for kidney dysfunction and HIV history will be collected by questionnaire. Blood and urine samples for measurements of severity of HIV disease (CD4 count, viral load) and renal function (creatinine, eGFR, phosphate, uric acid, glucose) will also be collected.

  • ABCB7 Gene ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 7
    ABCB7 gene ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 7 Normal Function The ABCB7 gene provides instructions for making a protein known as an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. ABC transporter proteins carry many types of molecules across membranes in cells. The ABCB7 protein is located in the inner membrane of cell structures called mitochondria. Mitochondria are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities, including energy production, chemical signaling, and regulation of cell growth and division. In the mitochondria of developing red blood cells (erythroblasts), the ABCB7 protein plays a critical role in the production of heme. Heme contains iron and is a component of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood. The ABCB7 protein is also involved in the formation of certain proteins containing clusters of iron and sulfur atoms (Fe-S clusters). Researchers suspect that the ABCB7 protein transports Fe-S clusters from mitochondria, where they are formed, to the surrounding cellular fluid (cytosol), where they can be incorporated into proteins. Overall, researchers believe that the ABCB7 protein helps maintain an appropriate balance of iron (iron homeostasis) in developing red blood cells. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes X-linked sideroblastic anemia and ataxia At least three mutations in the ABCB7 gene have been identified in people with X-linked sideroblastic anemia with ataxia. Each of these mutations changes a single protein building block (amino acid) in the ABCB7 protein, slightly altering its structure. These changes disrupt the protein's usual role in heme production and iron homeostasis. Anemia results when heme cannot be produced normally, and therefore not enough hemoglobin is made.

Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters. The results of mutant studies point towards involvement in iron cofactor biosynthesis. In particular, ABC subfamily B member 7 (ABCB7) and its homologues in yeast and plants are required for iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biosynthesis outside of the mitochondria, whereas ABCB10 is involved in haem biosynthesis. They also play a role in preventing oxidative stress. Mutations in ABCB6 and ABCB7 have been linked to human disease. Recent crystal structures of yeast Atm1 and human ABCB10 have been key to identifying substrate-binding sites and transport mechanisms. Combined with in vitro and in vivo studies, progress is being made to find the physiological substrates of the different mitochondrial ABC transporters. Sequence analysis of mitochondrial ABC The ABCB7 group, which includes the ABC transporters transporters of the mitochondria Atm1 in yeast and ATM3 in Arabidopsis, Mitochondria of most eukaryote species harbour 2–4 can be found in virtually all eukaryotic species.

  • Genome-Wide Identification of Whole ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC)
    Jeong et al. BMC Genomics 2014, 15:651 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/15/651 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide identification of whole ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus Chang-Bum Jeong1, Bo-Mi Kim2, Jae-Seong Lee2* and Jae-Sung Rhee3* Abstract Backgrounds: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily is one of the largest transporter gene families and is observed in all animal taxa. Although a large set of transcriptomic data was recently assembled for several species of crustaceans, identification and annotation of the large ABC transporter gene family have been very challenging. Results: In the intertidal copepod Tigriopus japonicus, 46 putative ABC transporters were identified using in silico analysis, and their full-length cDNA sequences were characterized. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 46 T. japonicus ABC transporters are classified into eight subfamilies (A-H) that include all the members of all ABC subfamilies, consisting of five ABCA, five ABCB, 17 ABCC, three ABCD, one ABCE, three ABCF, seven ABCG, and five ABCH subfamilies. Of them, unique isotypic expansion of two clades of ABCC1 proteins was observed. Real-time RT-PCR-based heatmap analysis revealed that most T. japonicus ABC genes showed temporal transcriptional expression during copepod development. The overall transcriptional profile demonstrated that half of all T. japonicus ABC genes were strongly associated with at least one developmental stage. Of them, transcripts TJ-ABCH_88708 and TJ-ABCE1 were highly expressed during all developmental stages. Conclusions: The whole set of T. japonicus ABC genes and their phylogenetic relationships will provide a better understanding of the comparative evolution of essential gene family resources in arthropods, including the crustacean copepods.

Here, we used site-directed mutagenesis to identify glibenclamide site of interaction: a positively charged residue K978, located in the cytoplasmic loop 3. Charge- neutralizing mutations K978A, K978Q, K978S abolished the inhibition of forskolin-activated CFTR chloride current by glibenclamide but not by CFTRinh-172. The charge-conservative mutation K978R did not alter glibenclamide sensitivity of CFTR current. Mutations of the neighbouring R975 (R975A, R975S, R975Q) did not affect electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of CFTR. No alteration of halide selectivity was observed with any of these CFTR mutant channels. This study identifies a novel potential inhibitor site within the CFTR molecule, and suggests a novel role of cytoplasmic loop three, within the second transmembrane domain of CFTR protein. This work is the first to report on the role of a residue in a cytoplasmic loop in the mechanism of action of the channel blocker glibenclamide.
