Fatty Acid Binding Protein 7 May Be a Marker and Therapeutic Targets In Nagao et al. BMC Cancer (2018) 18:1114 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-018-5060-8 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Fatty acid binding protein 7 may be a marker and therapeutic targets in clear cell renal cell carcinoma Kazuhiro Nagao1,2*, Nachi Shinohara1, Frank Smit2, Mirjam de Weijert2, Sander Jannink2, Yuji Owada3, Peter Mulders2, Egbert Oosterwijk2 and Hideyasu Matsuyama1 Abstract Background: To identify potential therapeutic target in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), we performed a transcriptome analysis. Our analysis showed that fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) has the highest mean differential overexpression in ccRCC compared to normal kidney. We aimed to investigate the significance of FABP7 in ccRCC. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining for 40 advanced ccRCC cases was performed to investigate correlation between clinicopathological parameters and FABP7. They were composed of 40–83 years old cases with 33 male, 22 cases with pT ≥ 3, 19 cases with M1, and 16 cases with grade 3. The effect of gene knockdown was analysed by a cell viability assay and invasion assay in FABP7-overexpressing cell lines (SKRC7 and SKRC10). Results: Our immunohistochemical analysis showed that higher FABP7 expression significantly correlated with distant metastasis and poor cancer-specific survival (CSS; both p < 0.05). Functional suppression of FABP7 significantly inhibited SKRC10 cell growth (p < 0.05) and resulted in a significant reduction of the invasive potential (p <0.01),butdidnot cause growth inhibition of SKRC7 cells. We found that The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network (TCGA) database shows FABP6 and 7 as equally overexpressed in the FABP family. Functional suppression of fatty acid binding protein 6 (FABP6) resulted in significant growth inhibition of SKRC7 cells (p <0.005). Conclusions: Functional suppression of FABP7 significantly reduced cell viability and invasive potential in a ccRCC cell line. FABP7 may play a role in progression in some metastatic ccRCCs. The suppressed function may be compensated by another FABP family member.

    THE ROLE OF THE MTOR PATHWAY IN DEVELOPMENTAL REPROGRAMMING OF HEPATIC LIPID METABOLISM AND THE HEPATIC TRANSCRIPTOME AFTER EXPOSURE TO 2,2',4,4'- TETRABROMODIPHENYL ETHER (BDE-47) An Honors Thesis Presented By JOSEPH PAUL MCGAUNN Approved as to style and content by: ________________________________________________________** Alexander Suvorov 05/18/20 10:40 ** Chair ________________________________________________________** Laura V Danai 05/18/20 10:51 ** Committee Member ________________________________________________________** Scott C Garman 05/18/20 10:57 ** Honors Program Director ABSTRACT An emerging hypothesis links the epidemic of metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes with chemical exposures during development. Evidence from our lab and others suggests that developmental exposure to environmentally prevalent flame-retardant BDE47 may permanently reprogram hepatic lipid metabolism, resulting in an NAFLD-like phenotype. Additionally, we have demonstrated that BDE-47 alters the activity of both mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and 2) in hepatocytes. The mTOR pathway integrates environmental information from different signaling pathways, and regulates key cellular functions such as lipid metabolism, innate immunity, and ribosome biogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that the developmental effects of BDE-47 on liver lipid metabolism are mTOR-dependent. To assess this, we generated mice with liver-specific deletions of mTORC1 or mTORC2 and exposed these mice and their respective controls perinatally to

  • Deficiency in Class III PI3-Kinase Confers Postnatal Lethality with IBD

Here, we report 1234567890():,; that PIK3C3 deficiency in zebrafish results in intestinal injury and inflammation. In pik3c3 mutants, gut tube forms but fails to be maintained. Gene expression analysis reveals that barrier-function-related inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility genes (e-cadherin, hnf4a, ttc7a) are suppressed, while inflammatory response genes are stimulated in the mutants. Histological analysis shows neutrophil infiltration into mutant intestinal epithelium and the clearance of gut microbiota. Yet, gut microorganisms appear dispensable as mutants cultured under germ-free condition have similar intestinal defects. Mechanistically, we show that PIK3C3 deficiency suppresses the formation of PI3P and disrupts the polarized dis- tribution of cell-junction proteins in intestinal epithelial cells. These results not only reveal a role of PIK3C3 in gut homeostasis, but also provide a zebrafish IBD model. 1 School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, 230027 Hefei, Anhui, China. 2 CAS Key Laboratory of Regenerative Biology, Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health-Guangzhou Medical University Joint School of Biological Sciences, South China Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 510530 Guangzhou, China.

Intensive Care (2017) 7:99 DOI 10.1186/s13613-017-0323-0 RESEARCH Open Access The association between FABP7 serum levels with survival and neurological complications in acetaminophen‑induced acute liver failure: a nested case–control study Constantine J. Karvellas1* , Jaime L. Speiser2, Mélanie Tremblay3, William M. Lee4, Christopher F. Rose3 and For the US Acute Liver Failure Study Group Abstract Background: Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure (ALF) is associated with signifcant mortality due to intracranial hypertension (ICH), a result of cerebral edema (CE) and astrocyte swelling. Brain-type fatty acid-binding protein (FABP7) is a small (15 kDa) cytoplasmic protein abundantly expressed in astrocytes. The aim of this study was to determine whether serum FABP7 levels early (day 1) or late (days 3–5) level were associated with 21-day mortality and/or the presence of ICH/CE in APAP-ALF patients. Methods: Serum samples from 198 APAP-ALF patients (nested case–control study with 99 survivors and 99 non-sur- vivors) were analyzed by ELISA methods and assessed with clinical data from the US Acute Liver Failure Study Group (ALFSG) Registry (1998–2014). Results: APAP-ALF survivors had signifcantly lower serum FABP7 levels on admission (147.9 vs. 316.5 ng/ml, p 0.0002) and late (87.3 vs. 286.2 ng/ml, p < 0.0001) compared with non-survivors. However, a signifcant association between= 21-day mortality and increased serum FABP7 early [log FABP7 odds ratio (OR) 1.16, p 0.32] and late (log FABP7 ~ OR 1.34, p 0.21) was not detected after adjusting for signifcant covariates (MELD, vasopressor= use).
