Abstract This study compared the sensitivity of human hepatoma Hep3B, SK-HEP-1, SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402 cells to cardiac steroids including bufalin (BF), a bufalin derivative (BF211), ouabain (OUA) and digitoxin (DIG). Hep3B cells exhibited relatively low sensitivity to cardiac steroids. Expression levels of subunits of Na+/K+-ATPase were high in Hep3B cells. However, co-localization of Na+/K+-ATPase and caveolin was nearly undetectable in Hep3B cells. By using RNA-Seq technology, we found a total of 36 genes to be differentially expressed between Hep3B cells and SK-HEP-1 cells, which are highly sensitive to cardiac steroids. Our bioinformatics analysis determined that these genes were mostly comprised of extracellular space, protein binding and extracellular region. Among these 36 genes, apolipoprotein E (APOE) played a critical role, since knockdown APOE expression induced co-localization of Na+/K+-ATPase and caveolin and increased sensitivity of Hep3B cells to both proliferation-inhibiting and cytotoxic effects of BF or BF211. Also, the effects of BF on PI3K/AKT/GSK3β and apoptosis signal cascades were enhanced in APOE knockdown cells. The results of our study confirmed the role of Na+/K+-ATPase signalosome in cytotoxicity of cardiac steroids and suggested that APOE regulated the sensitivity of cells to cardiac steroids by affecting formation and function of Na+/K+-ATPase signalosome. In addition, intercellular interaction with high level of Na+/K+-ATPase β1 subunit may be also a factor in the low sensitivity of Hep3B cells to cardiac steroids. 3 Downloaded from mct.aacrjournals.org on September 24, 2021. © 2016 American Association for Cancer Research.

Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most aggressive malignancies (1, 2). The percentage of patients benefited from surgical treatment is low and the efficacy of chemotherapy agents such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil is limited (3). Huachansu injection, derived from a water-soluble extract of the traditional Chinese medicine ChanSu, is commonly used in China to treat patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (4, 5). ChanSu is obtained from skin and parotid venom secretion glands of toads (6). Cardiac steroids such as bufalin (BF) are the active components of ChanSu (7). In the last 20 years, interest of developing cardiac steroids into anti-cancer agents substantially increased (8-12). Our lab also tried to develop derivatives of BF as possible new anti-cancer agents (13). Synthesis of promising BF derivatives such as BF211 (Patent Publication Number CN 102532235 B) had been reported (14). However, the research and development of cardiac steroids as new anti-cancer agents was hindered because the mechanisms of their anti-cancer effects had not been fully understood. In the present study, we studied possible factors that contribute to the sensitivity of hepatoma cells to cardiac steroids to understand the mechanisms of cytotoxicity of cardiac steroids. We tested the cytotoxicity of representative cardiac steroids such as BF, BF211, OUA and DIG, whose structures were shown in Supplemental Figure S1, in 4 types of hepatoma cell lines and one type of embryonic liver cell line. Interestingly, one of the cell lines, Hep3B, exhibited lower sensitivity to cardiac steroids when compared to other cell lines.

Na+/K+-ATPase, the direct target of cardiac steroids, in Hep3B cells and other cells were compared. RNA-Seq technology was also used to compare the expression profiles of Hep3B cells and SK-HEP-1 cells, which is the cell line with the highest sensitivity. In total, we found 36 genes that were differentially expressed between Hep3B and SK-HEP-1 cells. APOE (apolipoprotein E) protein might be an important factor in regulating the sensitivity of cells to cardiac steroids, which was confirmed by examining the cytotoxicity of cardiac steroids and signal cascades in Hep3B cells transfected with siRNAs for the APOE gene. Finally, we also observed the role of the Na+/K+-ATPase β1 subunit in the sensitivity of Hep3B cells. Materials and methods Chemicals OUA and DIG with a purity of 98% were purchased from the Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO, U.S.A). BF with a purity of 98% was isolated from ChanSu (13) and BF211 with a purity of 98% was synthesized by a structure modification of BF (14). Stock solutions of the chemicals were prepared in DMSO to the concentration of 0.1 M as stock solution and stored at -20°C. Cell culture The human hepatoma cell lines Hep3B, SK-HEP-1, SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402 were purchased from the Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, P.R. China) in 2012.

China) in 2015. The suppliers declared that the cells passed the test of DNA profiling (STR) before sending to us. No authentication was done by the authors. In our lab, cells were expanded according to the supplier’s protocols and then cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. For each experiment, cells were thawed and further cultured for at least 3 passages before subjecting to treatments. Furthermore, cells were passaged for fewer than 6 months after resuscitation. Cell culture mediums used for the cell lines were MEM for Hep3B and SK-HEP-1 cells, RPMI-1640 medium for SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402 cells, DMEM (high glucose) for L-02 cells, respectively. The mediums were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. MTT Assay Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT assay (15). Briefly, the Hep3B, SK-HEP-1, SMMC-7721 , BEL-7402 and L-02 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 7 × 103, 3 × 103, 5 × 103, 5 × 103 and 4 × 103 cells/well, respectively, and allowed to grow overnight before treatment with BF, BF211, OUA or DIG at different concentrations, or 0.1% DMSO (solvent control) for 72 h. After treatment, the cell viability was evaluated by checking the absorbance at 570 nm. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay LDH release of cells was measured using the CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay (Promega). Briefly, cells were seeded into 96-well plates and incubated overnight before treatment with BF, BF211 at different concentrations, or 0.1% DMSO (solvent control) for 24 or 48 h.

    A SARS-CoV-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing Supplementary Information Supplementary Discussion All SARS-CoV-2 protein and gene functions described in the subnetwork appendices, including the text below and the text found in the individual bait subnetworks, are based on the functions of homologous genes from other coronavirus species. These are mainly from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but when available and applicable other related viruses were used to provide insight into function. The SARS-CoV-2 proteins and genes listed here were designed and researched based on the gene alignments provided by Chan et. al. 1 2020 .​ Though we are reasonably sure the genes here are well annotated, we want to note that not every ​ protein has been verified to be expressed or functional during SARS-CoV-2 infections, either in vitro or in vivo. ​ ​ In an effort to be as comprehensive and transparent as possible, we are reporting the sub-networks of these functionally unverified proteins along with the other SARS-CoV-2 proteins. In such cases, we have made notes within the text below, and on the corresponding subnetwork figures, and would advise that more caution be taken when examining these proteins and their molecular interactions. Due to practical limits in our sample preparation and data collection process, we were unable to generate data for proteins corresponding to Nsp3, Orf7b, and Nsp16. Therefore these three genes have been left out of the following literature review of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins and the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) identified in this study.

  • Transcriptomic Uniqueness and Commonality of the Ion Channels and Transporters in the Four Heart Chambers Sanda Iacobas1, Bogdan Amuzescu2 & Dumitru A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptomic uniqueness and commonality of the ion channels and transporters in the four heart chambers Sanda Iacobas1, Bogdan Amuzescu2 & Dumitru A. Iacobas3,4* Myocardium transcriptomes of left and right atria and ventricles from four adult male C57Bl/6j mice were profled with Agilent microarrays to identify the diferences responsible for the distinct functional roles of the four heart chambers. Female mice were not investigated owing to their transcriptome dependence on the estrous cycle phase. Out of the quantifed 16,886 unigenes, 15.76% on the left side and 16.5% on the right side exhibited diferential expression between the atrium and the ventricle, while 5.8% of genes were diferently expressed between the two atria and only 1.2% between the two ventricles. The study revealed also chamber diferences in gene expression control and coordination. We analyzed ion channels and transporters, and genes within the cardiac muscle contraction, oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, calcium and adrenergic signaling pathways. Interestingly, while expression of Ank2 oscillates in phase with all 27 quantifed binding partners in the left ventricle, the percentage of in-phase oscillating partners of Ank2 is 15% and 37% in the left and right atria and 74% in the right ventricle. The analysis indicated high interventricular synchrony of the ion channels expressions and the substantially lower synchrony between the two atria and between the atrium and the ventricle from the same side. Starting with crocodilians, the heart pumps the blood through the pulmonary circulation and the systemic cir- culation by the coordinated rhythmic contractions of its upper lef and right atria (LA, RA) and lower lef and right ventricles (LV, RV).

Research Article Pulmonology Proton secretion mediated by ATP12A protein on the surface of the airway epithelium may contribute to cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease by favoring bacterial infection and airway obstruction. We studied ATP12A in fresh bronchial samples and in cultured epithelial cells. In vivo, ATP12A expression was found almost exclusively at the apical side of nonciliated cells of airway epithelium and in submucosal glands, with much higher expression in CF samples. This could be due to bacterial infection and inflammation, since treating cultured cells with bacterial supernatants or with IL-4 (a cytokine that induces goblet cell hyperplasia) increased the expression of ATP12A in nonciliated cells. This observation was associated with upregulation and translocation of ATP1B1 protein from the basal to apical epithelial side, where it colocalizes with ATP12A. ATP12A function was evaluated by measuring the pH of the apical fluid in cultured epithelia. Under resting conditions, CF epithelia showed more acidic values. This abnormality was minimized by inhibiting ATP12A with ouabain. Following treatment with IL-4, ATP12A function was markedly increased, as indicated by strong acidification occurring under bicarbonate-free conditions.

Various animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been created to assist our appreciation of AD pathophysiology, as well as aid development of novel therapeutic strategies. Despite the discovery of mutated proteins that predict the development of AD, there are likely to be many other proteins also involved in this disorder. Complex physiological processes are mediated by coherent interactions of clusters of functionally related proteins. Synaptic dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of AD. Synaptic proteins are organized into multiprotein complexes in high-density membrane structures, known as lipid rafts. These microdomains enable coherent clustering of synergistic signaling proteins.

  • Freezability Biomarkers in Bull Epididymal Spermatozoa
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Freezability biomarkers in bull epididymal spermatozoa Do-Yeal Ryu1,2, Won-Hee Song1,2, Won-Ki Pang1,2, Sung-Jae Yoon1,2, Md Saidur Rahman1,2 & Myung-Geol Pang1,2 Received: 8 April 2019 Sperm cryopreservation is an important tool for storing genetic traits and assisted reproduction Accepted: 22 August 2019 techniques. Several studies have developed semen cryopreservation protocols. However, the sperm Published: xx xx xxxx proteome is diferent between ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa and little is known about cryopreservation efects on epididymal spermatozoa. Therefore, our study aimed to (i) investigate the diferences of sperm parameters based on the freezing tolerance of spermatozoa and (ii) identify potential markers to predict the freezability of bull epididymal spermatozoa. Our preliminary study demonstrated that spermatozoa from individual bulls difer in cryopreservation freezability. We categorized spermatozoa into high freezing-tolerant spermatozoa and low freezing-tolerant spermatozoa group based on sperm motility after freezing/thawing. We evaluated several sperm functional parameters, including sperm motility/motion kinematics, sperm speed parameters, viability, mitochondrial activity, and capacitation status. Our results demonstrated that motility, sperm speed parameters, viability, and mitochondrial membrane potential had signifcant diferences between the two groups but motion kinematics and capacitation status did not. In addition, the concentration of three proteins - glutathione s-transferase mu 5, voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 2, and ATP synthase subunit beta, difered between both groups. Thus, our research highlighted diferences in bull epididymal spermatozoa freezability upon cryopreservation and these proteins might be useful markers to select high freezing-tolerant epididymal spermatozoa. For decades, cryopreservation was considered to be a remarkable tool to preserve a variety of cell types for long-term storage1–3.
