  • The Mineralocorticoid Receptor Leads to Increased Expression of EGFR
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mineralocorticoid receptor leads to increased expression of EGFR and T‑type calcium channels that support HL‑1 cell hypertrophy Katharina Stroedecke1,2, Sandra Meinel1,2, Fritz Markwardt1, Udo Kloeckner1, Nicole Straetz1, Katja Quarch1, Barbara Schreier1, Michael Kopf1, Michael Gekle1 & Claudia Grossmann1* The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in tumor biology and recently a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology was suggested. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is an important efector of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone‑system and elicits pathophysiological efects in the cardiovascular system; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the importance of EGFR for MR‑mediated cardiovascular pathophysiology because MR is known to induce EGFR expression. We identifed a SNP within the EGFR promoter that modulates MR‑induced EGFR expression. In RNA‑sequencing and qPCR experiments in heart tissue of EGFR KO and WT mice, changes in EGFR abundance led to diferential expression of cardiac ion channels, especially of the T‑type calcium channel CACNA1H. Accordingly, CACNA1H expression was increased in WT mice after in vivo MR activation by aldosterone but not in respective EGFR KO mice. Aldosterone‑ and EGF‑responsiveness of CACNA1H expression was confrmed in HL‑1 cells by Western blot and by measuring peak current density of T‑type calcium channels. Aldosterone‑induced CACNA1H protein expression could be abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478. Furthermore, inhibition of T‑type calcium channels with mibefradil or ML218 reduced diameter, volume and BNP levels in HL‑1 cells. In conclusion the MR regulates EGFR and CACNA1H expression, which has an efect on HL‑1 cell diameter, and the extent of this regulation seems to depend on the SNP‑216 (G/T) genotype.

  • Potassium Channels in Epilepsy

Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel family. In these genetic studies, a demonstrated functional link to hyperexcitability often remains elusive. However, their role can also be defined from a functional perspective, based on dy- namic, aggravating, or adaptive transcriptional and posttranslational alterations. In these cases, it often remains elusive whether the alteration is causal or merely incidental. With 80 potassium channel types, of which 10% are known to be associated with epilepsies (in humans) or a seizure phenotype (in animals), if genetically mutated, a comprehensive review is a challenging endeavor. This goal may seem all the more ambitious once the data on posttranslational alterations, found both in human tissue from epilepsy patients and in chronic or acute animal models, are included. We therefore summarize the literature, and expand only on key findings, particularly regarding functional alterations found in patient brain tissue and chronic animal models.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma Displays Higher Mutation Rate and Tumor Heterogeneity Than Primary Tumors
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06366-z OPEN Metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma displays higher mutation rate and tumor heterogeneity than primary tumors Sudheer Kumar Gara1, Justin Lack2, Lisa Zhang1, Emerson Harris1, Margaret Cam2 & Electron Kebebew1,3 Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare cancer with poor prognosis and high mortality due to metastatic disease. All reported genetic alterations have been in primary ACC, and it is 1234567890():,; unknown if there is molecular heterogeneity in ACC. Here, we report the genetic changes associated with metastatic ACC compared to primary ACCs and tumor heterogeneity. We performed whole-exome sequencing of 33 metastatic tumors. The overall mutation rate (per megabase) in metastatic tumors was 2.8-fold higher than primary ACC tumor samples. We found tumor heterogeneity among different metastatic sites in ACC and discovered recurrent mutations in several novel genes. We observed 37–57% overlap in genes that are mutated among different metastatic sites within the same patient. We also identified new therapeutic targets in recurrent and metastatic ACC not previously described in primary ACCs. 1 Endocrine Oncology Branch, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. 2 Center for Cancer Research, Collaborative Bioinformatics Resource, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. 3 Department of Surgery and Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA.

  • Ion Channels 3 1
    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia.

  • Identifying Genes in Monoamine Nuclei That May Determine Stress Vulnerability and Depressive Behavior in Wistar–Kyoto Rats
    Neuropsychopharmacology (2006) 31, 2449–2461 & 2006 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0893-133X/06 $30.00 www.neuropsychopharmacology.org Identifying Genes in Monoamine Nuclei that may Determine Stress Vulnerability and Depressive Behavior in Wistar–Kyoto Rats 1 2 2 ,1 Kimberly A Pearson , Alisson Stephen , Sheryl G Beck and Rita J Valentino* 1Department of Pediatrics, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA; 2Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA The Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) rat is stress sensitive and exhibits depressive-like behavior. The locus coeruleus (LC)–norepinephrine and dorsal raphe (DR)–serotonin systems mediate certain aspects of the stress response and have been implicated in depression. Microarray technology was used to identify gene expression differences in the LC and DR between WKY vs Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats that might account for the WKY phenotype. RNA was isolated from microdissected LC and DR, amplified, and hybridized to microarrays (1 array/ subject, n ¼ 4/group). Significance of microarray (SAM) analysis revealed increased expression of 66 genes in the LC and 19 genes in the DR and decreased expression of 33 genes in the DR of WKY rats. Hierarchical clustering identified differences in gene expression profiles of WKY vs SD rats that generally concurred with SAM. Notably, genes that encoded for enzymes involved in norepinephrine turnover, amino-acid receptors, and certain G-protein-coupled receptors were elevated in the LC of WKY rats. The DR of WKY rats showed decreased expression of genes encoding several potassium channels and neurofilament genes. The chromosomal locations of 15 genes that were differentially expressed in WKY rats were near loci identified as contributing to depressive-like behaviors in the rat.

  • Transcriptomic Sex Differences in Sensory Neuronal Populations of Mice
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptomic sex diferences in sensory neuronal populations of mice Jennifer Mecklenburg1, Yi Zou2, Andi Wangzhou4, Dawn Garcia2, Zhao Lai2,3, Alexei V. Tumanov5, Gregory Dussor4, Theodore J. Price 4 & Armen N. Akopian1,6* Many chronic pain conditions show sex diferences in their epidemiology. This could be attributed to sex-dependent diferential expression of genes (DEGs) involved in nociceptive pathways, including sensory neurons. This study aimed to identify sex-dependent DEGs in estrous female versus male sensory neurons, which were prepared by using diferent approaches and ganglion types. RNA-seq on non-purifed sensory neuronal preparations, such as whole dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and hindpaw tissues, revealed only a few sex-dependent DEGs. Sensory neuron purifcation increased numbers of sex-dependent DEGs. These DEG sets were substantially infuenced by preparation approaches and ganglion types [DRG vs trigeminal ganglia (TG)]. Percoll-gradient enriched DRG and TG neuronal fractions produced distinct sex-dependent DEG groups. We next isolated a subset of sensory neurons by sorting DRG neurons back-labeled from paw and thigh muscle. These neurons have a unique sex- dependent DEG set, yet there is similarity in biological processes linked to these diferent groups of sex-dependent DEGs. Female-predominant DEGs in sensory neurons relate to infammatory, synaptic transmission and extracellular matrix reorganization processes that could exacerbate neuro- infammation severity, especially in TG. Male-selective DEGs were linked to oxidative phosphorylation and protein/molecule metabolism and production. Our fndings catalog preparation-dependent sex diferences in neuronal gene expressions in sensory ganglia. Many infammatory, neuropathic and idiopathic chronic pain conditions, such as migraine, fbromyalgia, tem- poromandibular disorder (TMD/TMJ), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathies, have greater prevalence and/or symptom severity in women as compared to men 1–4.
