Published OnlineFirst June 15, 2017; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-16-2885 Abstract Activation of IGF signaling is a major oncogenic event in diverse cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this setting, the insulin-like growth factor binding protein IGFBP7 inhibits IGF signaling by binding the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R), functioning as a candidate tumor suppressor. IGFBP7 abrogates tumors by inhibiting angiogenesis and inducing cancer-specific senescence and apoptosis. Here we report that Igfbp7-deficient mice exhibit constitutively active IGF signaling, presenting with pro- inflammatory and immunosuppressive microenvironments and spontaneous liver and lung tumors occurring with increased incidence in carcinogen-treated subjects. Igfbp7 deletion increased proliferation and decreased senescence of hepatocytes and mouse embryonic fibroblasts, effects that were blocked by treatment with IGF-1 receptor inhibitor. Significant inhibition of genes regulating immune surveillance was observed in Igfbp7-/- murine livers, which was associated with a marked inhibition in antigen cross- presentation by Igfbp7-/- dendritic cells. Conversely, IGFBP7 overexpression inhibited growth of HCC cells in syngeneic immunocompetent mice. Depletion of CD4+ or CD8+ T lymphocytes abolished this growth inhibition, identifying it as an immune-mediated response. Our findings define an immune component of the pleiotropic mechanisms through which IGFBP7 suppresses HCC. Furthermore, they offer a genetically based preclinical proof of concept for IGFBP7 as a therapeutic target for immune management of HCC. 4 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research. Published OnlineFirst June 15, 2017; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-16-2885 Introduction Evasion from immune surveillance is an important mechanism facilitating tumor development and progression (1). Three equally important events are necessary for immune evasion, the masking of neo-antigens, downregulation of antigen presentation machinery, and irresponsiveness to Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-mediated killing by immune cells (2). Tumor antigenic peptides are generally produced in the cytosol via processing by proteasomes that contain interferon-γ-inducible subunits LMP-2, LMP-7 and LMP-10 (3). The 8-9 amino acids antigen peptides thus produced are translocated by transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP-1 and TAP-2) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where the peptides are assembled with MHC class I heavy chain and β2- microglobulin light chain and are transported to the cell surface to be presented to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The components of the antigen presentation pathway, such as TAP1/2 and LMP2/7, are downregulated in cancers, including HCC, resulting in a loss of immune-surveillance and initiation and progression of the disease (4). Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling plays an important oncogenic role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (5). Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7) is a secreted protein that binds to IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and blocks activation by IGFs (6). IGFBP7 functions as a tumor suppressor in a variety of cancers, including HCC, where its expression is markedly downregulated (7-9). Genomic deletion and promoter hypermethylation cause downregulation of IGFBP7 in HCC (7,10). Recombinant IGFBP7 (rIGFBP7) protein induces senescence and/or apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis in diverse cancers either in vitro or in nude mice xenograft models (8,9,11). Stable overexpression of IGFBP7 in aggressive human HCC cells led to inhibition in IGF signaling, induced senescence, inhibited proliferation and resulted in profound inhibition in xenograft growth in nude mice which was accompanied by marked 5 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research. Published OnlineFirst June 15, 2017; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-16-2885 inhibition in angiogenesis (7). Intratumoral injection of an adenovirus expressing IGFBP7 (Ad.IGFBP7) eradicated both injected tumors as well as non-injected tumors established in the other flank of nude mice indicating that IGFBP7 not only has direct effect on primary cancer but also exerts a ‘by-stander’ anti-tumor effect (12). However, the mechanism by which IGFBP7 exerts this ‘by-stander’ effect remains to be determined. In this manuscript we describe the generation and characterization of an Igfbp7 knockout (Igfbp7-/-) mouse which establishes the tumor suppressor functions of IGFBP7 and unravels a novel role of IGFBP7 in regulating an anti-tumor immune response. These studies indicate that IGFBP7 inhibits cancer by pleiotropic mechanisms and might be an effective therapeutic for HCC and other cancers. Materials and methods Generation of Igfbp7-/- mouse: Igfbp-7-/- mouse was created in a pure C57BL/6 background using a Cre-loxP strategy (Fig. S1). All animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Virginia Commonwealth University, and were performed in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act, the PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and the U.S. Government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals Used in Testing, Research, and Training. Primary cells isolation and culture conditions: All primary cells were used immediately after isolation and were mycoplasma free. Primary mouse hepatocytes were isolated and cultured in Williams E Medium containing NaHCO3, L-glutamine, insulin (1.5 mmol/L), and dexamethasone (0.1 mmol/L) as described (13). Kupffer cells were isolated from liver homogenates by centrifuging at 500 RPM for 10 min (14). The supernatant containing immune cells was sorted for CD11b+F4/80+ cells using FACSAria II (BD Biosciences). Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated as described 6 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2017 American Association for Cancer Research.

  • SNORD116 and Growth Hormone Therapy Impact IGFBP7 in Praderâ
    www.nature.com/gim ARTICLE SNORD116 and growth hormone therapy impact IGFBP7 in Prader–Willi syndrome Sanaa Eddiry1,2, Gwenaelle Diene3,4, Catherine Molinas1,3,4, Juliette Salles1,5, Françoise Conte Auriol1,2, Isabelle Gennero1, Eric Bieth6, ✉ Boris V. Skryabin7, Timofey S. Rozhdestvensky7, Lisa C. Burnett8, Rudolph L. Leibel9, Maithé Tauber1,3,4 and Jean Pierre Salles 1,2,4 PURPOSE: Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with hypothalamic dysfunction due to deficiency of imprinted genes located on the 15q11-q13 chromosome. Among them, the SNORD116 gene appears critical for the expression of the PWS phenotype. We aimed to clarify the role of SNORD116 in cellular and animal models with regard to growth hormone therapy (GHT), the main approved treatment for PWS. METHODS: We collected serum and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from GH-treated PWS patients to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons, and in parallel used a Snord116 knockout mouse model. We analyzed the expression of factors potentially linked to GH responsiveness. RESULTS: We found elevated levels of circulating IGFBP7 in naive PWS patients, with IGFBP7 levels normalizing under GHT. We found elevated IGFBP7 levels in the brains of Snord116 knockout mice and in iPSC-derived neurons from a SNORD116-deleted PWS patient. High circulating levels of IGFBP7 in PWS patients may result from both increased IGFBP7 expression and decreased IGFBP7 cleavage, by downregulation of the proconvertase PC1. CONCLUSION: SNORD116 deletion affects IGFBP7 levels, while IGFBP7 decreases under GHT in PWS patients. Modulation of the 1234567890():,; IGFBP7 level, which interacts with IGF1, has implications in the pathophysiology and management of PWS under GHT.

China Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are bipotential progenitor cells that can differentiate into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes or functionally undetermined type II astrocytes. Transplantation of OPCs is an attractive therapy for demyelinating diseases. However, due to their bipotential differentiation potential, the majority of OPCs differentiate into astrocytes at transplanted sites. It is therefore important to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the transition from OPCs to oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. In this study, we isolated OPCs from the spinal cords of rat embryos (16 days old) and induced them to differentiate into oligodendrocytes or type II astrocytes in the absence or presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively. RNAs were extracted from each cell population and hybridized to GeneChip with 28,700 rat genes. Using the criterion of fold change > 4 in the expression level, we identified 83 genes that were up-regulated and 89 genes that were down-regulated in oligodendrocytes, and 92 genes that were up-regulated and 86 that were down-regulated in type II astrocytes compared with OPCs.

Nawathe1,2, Mark Christian3, Sung Hye Kim2, Mark Johnson1,2, Makrina D. Savvidou1,2 and Vasso Terzidou1,2* Abstract Background: Insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF1 and IGF2) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) are expressed in the placenta and known to regulate fetal growth. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism which involves addition of methyl group to a cytosine base in the DNA forming a methylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide which is known to silence gene expression. This silences gene expression, potentially altering the expression of IGFs and their binding proteins. This study investigates the relationship between DNA methylation of components of the IGF axis in the placenta and disorders in fetal growth. Placental samples were obtained from cord insertions immediately after delivery from appropriate, small (defined as birthweight <10th percentile for the gestation [SGA]) and macrosomic (defined as birthweight > the 90th percentile for the gestation [LGA]) neonates. Placental DNA methylation, mRNA expression and protein levels of components of the IGF axis were determined by pyrosequencing, rtPCR and Western blotting. Results: In the placenta from small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (n = 16), mRNA and protein levels of IGF1 were lower and of IGFBPs (1, 2, 3, 4 and 7) were higher (p < 0.05) compared to appropriately grown neonates (n =37).In contrast, in the placenta from large for gestational age (LGA) neonates (n = 20), mRNA and protein levels of IGF1 was not different and those of IGFBPs (1, 2, 3 and 4) were lower (p < 0.05) compared to appropriately grown neonates.

KaRBOVSKYI1 1Palladin Institute of Biochemistry, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv; e-mail: [email protected]; 2Bohomolets National Medical University, Kyiv, Ukraine We have studied gene expression of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in U87 glioma cells upon glutamine deprivation depending on the inhibition of IRE1 (inositol requiring enzyme-1), a central me- diator of endoplasmic reticulum stress. We have shown that exposure of control glioma cells upon glutamine deprivation leads to down-regulation of NOV/IGFBP9, WISP1 and WISP2 gene expressions and up-regu- lation of CYR61/IGFBP10 gene expression at the mRNA level. At the same time, the expression of IGFBP6 and IGFBP7 genes in control glioma cells was resistant to glutamine deprivation. It was also shown that the inhibition of IRE1 modifies the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of all studied genes. Thus, the inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme enhances the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression of CYR61 and WISP1 genes and suppresses effect of the deprivation on WISP2 gene expression in glioma cells. Moreo- ver, the inhibition of IRE1 introduces sensitivity of the expression of IGFBP6 and IGFBP7 genes to glutamine deprivation and removes this sensitivity to NOV gene. We have also demonstrated that the expression of all studied genes in glioma cells growing with glutamine is regulated by IRE1 signaling enzyme, because the inhibition of IRE1 significantly down-regulates IGFBP6 and NOV genes and up-regulates IGFBP7, CYR61, WISP1, and WISP2 genes as compared to control glioma cells.

Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract Background: Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), specically binding to IGF1 and IGF2, play an important role in regulating physiological functions of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). IGFBPs have been considered important candidate genes for economic traits due to their involvement in physiological processes related to growth and development. However, most of the current studies on genetic markers of IGFBPs have focused on SNPs, and large fragment insertion mutations such as retrotransposons have rarely been considered. In this paper, we screened the porcine IGFBP genes (IGFBP1-8) for retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) using bioinformatics prediction combined with the PCR-based amplication. Furthermore, for two linked RIPs their population distribution and impact on promoter activity and phenotype were further evaluated.
