  • Small Cell Ovarian Carcinoma: Genomic Stability and Responsiveness to Therapeutics
    Gamwell et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2013, 8:33 http://www.ojrd.com/content/8/1/33 RESEARCH Open Access Small cell ovarian carcinoma: genomic stability and responsiveness to therapeutics Lisa F Gamwell1,2, Karen Gambaro3, Maria Merziotis2, Colleen Crane2, Suzanna L Arcand4, Valerie Bourada1,2, Christopher Davis2, Jeremy A Squire6, David G Huntsman7,8, Patricia N Tonin3,4,5 and Barbara C Vanderhyden1,2* Abstract Background: The biology of small cell ovarian carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, is poorly understood. Tumourigenicity, in vitro growth characteristics, genetic and genomic anomalies, and sensitivity to standard and novel chemotherapeutic treatments were investigated in the unique SCCOHT cell line, BIN-67, to provide further insight in the biology of this rare type of ovarian cancer. Method: The tumourigenic potential of BIN-67 cells was determined and the tumours formed in a xenograft model was compared to human SCCOHT. DNA sequencing, spectral karyotyping and high density SNP array analysis was performed. The sensitivity of the BIN-67 cells to standard chemotherapeutic agents and to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and the JX-594 vaccinia virus was tested. Results: BIN-67 cells were capable of forming spheroids in hanging drop cultures. When xenografted into immunodeficient mice, BIN-67 cells developed into tumours that reflected the hypercalcemia and histology of human SCCOHT, notably intense expression of WT-1 and vimentin, and lack of expression of inhibin. Somatic mutations in TP53 and the most common activating mutations in KRAS and BRAF were not found in BIN-67 cells by DNA sequencing.

Binds numerous imidazoline ligands that induces initiation of cell-signaling cascades triggering to cell survival, growth and migration. Its activation by the agonist rilmenidine induces an increase in phosphorylation of mitogen- activated protein kinases MAPK1 and MAPK3 in rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) neurons that exhibited rilmenidine-evoked hypotension (By similarity). Blocking its activation with efaroxan abolished rilmenidine-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in RVLM neurons (By similarity). Acts as a modulator of Rac-regulated signal transduction pathways (By similarity). Suppresses Rac1-stimulated cell migration by interacting with PAK1 and inhibiting its kinase activity (By similarity). Also blocks Pak- independent Rac signaling by interacting with RAC1 and inhibiting Rac1-stimulated NF-kB response element and cyclin D1 promoter activation (By similarity). Inhibits also LIMK1 kinase activity by reducing LIMK1 'Tyr-508' phosphorylation (By similarity). Inhibits Rac- induced cell migration and invasion in breast and colon epithelial cells (By similarity). Inhibits lamellipodia formation, when overexpressed (By similarity). Plays a role in protection against apoptosis. Involved in association with IRS4 in the enhancement

  • Allantoin Activates Imidazoline I-3 Receptors to Enhance Insulin
    Tsai et al. Nutrition & Metabolism 2014, 11:41 http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/11/1/41 RESEARCH Open Access Allantoin activates imidazoline I-3 receptors to enhance insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells Cheng-Chia Tsai1, Li-Jen Chen2,3, Ho-Shan Niu3, Kun-Ming Chung4, Juei-Tang Cheng5* and Kao-Chang Lin4,6 Abstract Background: Imidazoline I3 receptors (I-3R) can regulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. It has been indicated that allantoin ameliorates hyperglycemia by activating imidazoline I2 receptors (I-2R). Thus, the effect of allantoin on I-3R is identified in the present study. Methods: We used male Wistar rats to screen allantoin’s ability for lowering of blood glucose and stimulation of insulin secretion. Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells transfected with imidazoline receptors (NISCH-CHO-K1 cells) were also applied to characterize the direct effect of allantoin on this receptor. Additionally, KU14R as specific antagonist was treated to block I-3R in rats and in the cultured pancreatic β-cells named Min 6 cells. Results: In rats, allantoin decreased blood sugar with an increase in plasma insulin. Also, allantoin enhanced calcium influx into NISCH-CHO-K1 cells in a way similar to agmatine, an I-R agonist. Moreover, KU14R dose-dependently blocked allantoin-induced insulin secretion both in Min 6 cells and in Wistar rats. Conclusion: Allantoin can activate I-3R to enhance insulin secretion for lowering of blood sugar in Wistar rats. Thus, allantoin may provide beneficial effects as a supplement for diabetic patients after clinical trials. Keywords: Allantoin, Insulin secretion, Imidazoline I3 receptor, CHO-K1, NISCH Background is mentioned to reduce blood glucose [11,12].

BACKGROUND Introduction Sorting nexin-18 (UniProt Q96RF0; also known as SH3 and PX domain-containing protein 3B, Sorting nexin-associated Golgi protein 1) is encoded by the SNX18 (also known as SNAG1, SH3PX2, SH3PXD3B) gene (Gene ID 112574) in human. SNX18, SNX33, and SNX9 constitute a subfamily of sorting nexin (SNX) proteins characterized by a Bin–Amphiphysin–Rvs (BAR) domain that allows dimerization. It also contributes to modulation and shaping of membrane curvature. It also has a Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain that allows interaction with a wide range of proline-rich PXXP motif containing proteins.

Cooper2* 1Department of Molecular Biology, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Rowan University, Stratford, NJ, 08084, USA 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] * [email protected] Tel: +1 (856)-566-2887 1Department of Molecular Biology, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Rowan University, Stratford, NJ, 08084, USA Abstract: Sorting nexins (SNXs) are a highly conserved membrane-associated protein family that plays a role in regulating protein homeostasis. This family of proteins is unified by their characteristic phox (PX) phosphoinositides binding domain. Along with binding to membranes, this family of SNXs also comprises a diverse array of protein-protein interaction motifs that are required for cellular sorting and protein trafficking. SNXs play a role in maintaining the integrity of the proteome which is essential for regulating multiple fundamental processes such as cell cycle progression, transcription, metabolism, and stress response. To tightly regulate these processes proteins must be expressed and degraded in the correct location and at the correct time. The cell employs several proteolysis mechanisms to ensure that proteins are selectively degraded at the appropriate spatiotemporal conditions. SNXs play a role in ubiquitin-mediated protein homeostasis at multiple levels including cargo localization, recycling, degradation, and function. In this review, we will discuss the role of SNXs in three different protein homeostasis systems: endocytosis lysosomal, the ubiquitin-proteasomal, and the autophagy-lysosomal system. The highly conserved nature of this protein family by beginning with the early research on SNXs and protein trafficking in yeast and lead into their important roles in mammalian systems.

  • Structural and Functional Insights Into Sorting Nexin 5/6 Interaction with Bacterial Effector Ince
    OPEN Citation: Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (2017) 2, e17030; doi:10.1038/sigtrans.2017.30 www.nature.com/sigtrans ARTICLE Structural and functional insights into sorting nexin 5/6 interaction with bacterial effector IncE Qingxiang Sun1,5, Xin Yong1,2,5, Xiaodong Sun3,5, Fan Yang1,2,5, Zhonghua Dai4, Yanqiu Gong1, Liming Zhou3, Xia Zhang1, Dawen Niu1, Lunzhi Dai1, Jia-Jia Liu4 and Da Jia1,2 The endosomal trafficking pathways are essential for many cellular activities. They are also important targets by many intracellular pathogens. Key regulators of the endosomal trafficking include the retromer complex and sorting nexins (SNXs). Chlamydia trachomatis effector protein IncE directly targets the retromer components SNX5 and SNX6 and suppresses retromer-mediated transport, but the exact mechanism has remained unclear. We present the crystal structure of the PX domain of SNX5 in complex with IncE, showing that IncE binds to a highly conserved hydrophobic groove of SNX5. The unique helical hairpin of SNX5/6 is essential for binding, explaining the specificity of SNX5/6 for IncE. The SNX5/6–IncE interaction is required for cellular localization of IncE and its inhibitory function. Mechanistically, IncE inhibits the association of CI-MPR cargo with retromer-containing endosomal subdomains. Our study provides new insights into the regulation of retromer-mediated transport and illustrates the intricate competition between host and pathogens in controlling cellular trafficking.

  • Pathway-Based Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Coronary Heart Disease Identifies Biologically Important Gene Sets
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 20, 1168–1173 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/12 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Pathway-based genome-wide association analysis of coronary heart disease identifies biologically important gene sets Lisa de las Fuentes1,4, Wei Yang2,4, Victor G Da´vila-Roma´n1 and C Charles Gu*,2,3 Genome-wide association (GWA) studies of complex diseases including coronary heart disease (CHD) challenge investigators attempting to identify relevant genetic variants among hundreds of thousands of markers being tested. A selection strategy based purely on statistical significance will result in many false negative findings after adjustment for multiple testing. Thus, an integrated analysis using information from the learned genetic pathways, molecular functions, and biological processes is desirable. In this study, we applied a customized method, variable set enrichment analysis (VSEA), to the Framingham Heart Study data (404 467 variants, n ¼ 6421) to evaluate enrichment of genetic association in 1395 gene sets for their contribution to CHD. We identified 25 gene sets with nominal Po0.01; at least four sets are previously known for their roles in CHD: vascular genesis (GO:0001570), fatty-acid biosynthetic process (GO:0006633), fatty-acid metabolic process (GO:0006631), and glycerolipid metabolic process (GO:0046486). Although the four gene sets include 170 genes, only three of the genes contain a variant ranked among the top 100 in single-variant association tests of the 404 467 variants tested. Significant enrichment for novel gene sets less known for their importance to CHD were also identified: Rac 1 cell-motility signaling pathway (h_rac1 Pathway, Po0.001) and sulfur amino-acid metabolic process (GO:0000096, Po0.001).

  • PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS of HUMAN URINARY EXOSOMES. Patricia
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF HUMAN URINARY EXOSOMES. Patricia Amalia Gonzales Mancilla, Ph.D., 2009 Directed By: Associate Professor Nam Sun Wang, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Exosomes originate as the internal vesicles of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) in cells. These small vesicles (40-100 nm) have been shown to be secreted by most cell types throughout the body. In the kidney, urinary exosomes are released to the urine by fusion of the outer membrane of the MVBs with the apical plasma membrane of renal tubular epithelia. Exosomes contain apical membrane and cytosolic proteins and can be isolated using differential centrifugation. The analysis of urinary exosomes provides a non- invasive means of acquiring information about the physiological or pathophysiological state of renal cells. The overall objective of this research was to develop methods and knowledge infrastructure for urinary proteomics. We proposed to conduct a proteomic analysis of human urinary exosomes. The first objective was to profile the proteome of human urinary exosomes using liquid chromatography-tandem spectrometry (LC- MS/MS) and specialized software for identification of peptide sequences from fragmentation spectra. We unambiguously identified 1132 proteins. In addition, the phosphoproteome of human urinary exosomes was profiled using the neutral loss scanning acquisition mode of LC-MS/MS. The phosphoproteomic profiling identified 19 phosphorylation sites corresponding to 14 phosphoproteins. The second objective was to analyze urinary exosomes samples isolated from patients with genetic mutations. Polyclonal antibodies were generated to recognize epitopes on the gene products of these genetic mutations, NKCC2 and MRP4. The potential usefulness of urinary exosome analysis was demonstrated using the well-defined renal tubulopathy, Bartter syndrome type I and using the single nucleotide polymorphism in the ABCC4 gene.
