Abstract. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer- altered genes may offer information to understand the related deaths and new lung cancer cases are continuously cytotoxic mechanism of this agent at the genetic level since emerging around the globe; however, treatment of lung gene alterations can be useful biomarkers or targets for the cancer remains unsatisfactory. Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) diagnosis and treatment of human lung cancer in the future. has been shown to exert cytotoxic effects in human cancer cells via induction of apoptosis. However, the effects of DMC Lung cancer, the leading cause of malignancy-related death on genetic mechanisms associated with these actions have globally and is one of the most aggressive human cancers not been yet elucidated. Human lung cancer NCI-H460 cells worldwide. Lung cancer most commonly gives rise to were incubated with or without 35 μM of DMC for 24 h and metastases in the brain (1) and peripheral tissues before total RNA was extracted for cDNA synthesis labeling and being diagnosed in many clinical cases (2). In lung cancer, microarray hybridization, followed by fluor-labeled cDNA about 80% of the cases are non-small cell lung cancer hybridization on chip. Expression Console software with (NSCLC) (3) and early detection is possible (4). The major default Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA) parameters were treatment options for lung cancer are surgical resection, used for detecting and quantitating the localized chemotherapy and radiation therapy; however, the survival concentrations of fluorescent molecules. The GeneGo rate remains very low (5) and serious side-effects impairing software was used for investigating key genes involved and quality of life have been registered (6). Currently, numerous their possible interaction pathways. Genes associated with studies have focused on personalized modes of therapy for DNA damage and repair, cell-cycle check point and assessing the efficacy and safety of agents used as molecular apoptosis could be altered by DMC; in particular, 144 genes targets (7). Thus, many investigators are searching for new were found up-regulated and 179 genes down-regulated in drugs from natural products to improve the disadvantages of NCI-H460 cells after exposure to DMC.

    Zhang et al. Oncogenesis (2020) 9:46 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41389-020-0230-3 Oncogenesis ARTICLE Open Access Acetyl-CoA synthetase 3 promotes bladder cancer cell growth under metabolic stress Jianhao Zhang1, Hongjian Duan1, Zhipeng Feng1,XinweiHan1 and Chaohui Gu2 Abstract Cancer cells adapt to nutrient-deprived tumor microenvironment during progression via regulating the level and function of metabolic enzymes. Acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) is a key metabolic intermediate that is crucial for cancer cell metabolism, especially under metabolic stress. It is of special significance to decipher the role acetyl-CoA synthetase short chain family (ACSS) in cancer cells confronting metabolic stress. Here we analyzed the generation of lipogenic AcCoA in bladder cancer cells under metabolic stress and found that in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) cells, the proportion of lipogenic AcCoA generated from glucose were largely reduced under metabolic stress. Our results revealed that ACSS3 was responsible for lipogenic AcCoA synthesis in BLCA cells under metabolic stress. Interestingly, we found that ACSS3 was required for acetate utilization and histone acetylation. Moreover, our data illustrated that ACSS3 promoted BLCA cell growth. In addition, through analyzing clinical samples, we found that both mRNA and protein levels of ACSS3 were dramatically upregulated in BLCA samples in comparison with adjacent controls and BLCA patients with lower ACSS3 expression were entitled with longer overall survival. Our data revealed an oncogenic role of ACSS3 via regulating AcCoA generation in BLCA and provided a promising target in metabolic pathway for BLCA treatment. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction acetyl-CoA synthetase short chain family (ACSS), which In cancer cells, considerable number of metabolic ligates acetate and CoA6.

This is achieved by the recruitment of transcriptional co-factors. One of the consequences of co-factor recruitment is the control of specific properties of nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin, and their protein components, the core histones. The main principles are to regulate the position and the characteristics of nucleosomes. The latter includes modulating the composition of core histones and their variants that are integrated into nucleosomes, and the post-translational modification of these histones referred to as histone marks. One of these marks is the methylation of lysine 4 of the core histone H3 (H3K4). While mono-methylation of H3K4 (H3K4me1) is located preferentially at active enhancers, tri-methylation (H3K4me3) is a mark found at open and potentially active promoters. Thus, H3K4 methylation is typically associated with gene transcription. The class 2 lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) are the main enzymes that methylate H3K4. KMT2 enzymes function in complexes that contain a necessary core complex composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L, and DPY30, the so-called WRAD complex.

These programming effects may be mechanistically involved in mediating the effects of adverse childhood experience on disease risk in adulthood. We investigated hormonal and genome-wide mRNA = expression responses in monocytes to acute stress exposure, in a sample of healthy adults (n 30) with a history of early childhood = adversity, and a control group (n 30) without trauma experience. The early adversity group showed altered hypothalamus-pituitary- adrenal axis responses to stress, evidenced by lower ACTH and cortisol responses. Analyses of gene expression patterns showed that stress-responsive transcripts were enriched for genes involved in cytokine activity, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine activity, and G-protein coupled receptor binding.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

However, the intrinsic mechanism by which LKB1 activity is regulated in cells and how it leads to the suppression Germ-line mutations in LKB1 gene cause the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome of cell growth is still unknown. It has been proposed that growth (PJS), a genetic disease with increased risk of malignancies. Recently, suppression by LKB1 is mediated through p21 in a p53-dependent LKB1-inactivating mutations have been identified in one-third of sporadic lung adenocarcinomas, indicating that LKB1 gene inactivation is critical in mechanism (7). In addition, it has been observed that LKB1 binds to tumors other than those of the PJS syndrome. However, the in vivo brahma-related gene 1 protein (BRG1) and this interaction is required substrates of LKB1 and its role in cancer development have not been for BRG1-induced growth arrest (10). Similar to what happens in the completely elucidated. Here we show that overexpression of wild-type PJS, Lkb1 heterozygous knockout mice show gastrointestinal hamar- LKB1 protein in A549 lung adenocarcinomas cells leads to cell-growth tomatous polyposis and frequent hepatocellular carcinomas (11, 12). suppression. To examine changes in gene expression profiles subsequent to Interestingly, the hamartomas, but not the malignant tumors, arising in exogenous wild-type LKB1 in A549 cells, we used cDNA microarrays.

  • A Spontaneous Mutation in Contactin 1 in the Mouse
    A Spontaneous Mutation in Contactin 1 in the Mouse Muriel T. Davisson1*, Roderick T. Bronson1, Abigail L. D. Tadenev1, William W. Motley1, Arjun Krishnaswamy2, Kevin L. Seburn1, Robert W. Burgess1 1 The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States of America, 2 Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America Abstract Mutations in the gene encoding the immunoglobulin-superfamily member cell adhesion molecule contactin1 (CNTN1) cause lethal congenital myopathy in human patients and neurodevelopmental phenotypes in knockout mice. Whether the mutant mice provide an accurate model of the human disease is unclear; resolving this will require additional functional tests of the neuromuscular system and examination of Cntn1 mutations on different genetic backgrounds that may influence the phenotype. Toward these ends, we have analyzed a new, spontaneous mutation in the mouse Cntn1 gene that arose in a BALB/c genetic background. The overt phenotype is very similar to the knockout of Cntn1, with affected animals having reduced body weight, a failure to thrive, locomotor abnormalities, and a lifespan of 2–3 weeks. Mice homozygous for the new allele have CNTN1 protein undetectable by western blotting, suggesting that it is a null or very severe hypomorph. In an analysis of neuromuscular function, neuromuscular junctions had normal morphology, consistent with previous studies in knockout mice, and the muscles were able to generate appropriate force when normalized for their reduced size in late stage animals. Therefore, the Cntn1 mutant mice do not show evidence for a myopathy, but instead the phenotype is likely to be caused by dysfunction in the nervous system.
