Dıaz´ ([email protected])orA.Garcıa´ de Herreros ([email protected]) Cell migration is a multifactorial/multistep process that requires the concerted action of growth and transcriptional factors, motor proteins, extracellular matrix remodeling and proteases. In this review, we focus on the role of transcription factors modulat- ing Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT-TFs), a fundamental process supporting both physiological and pathological cell migration. These EMT-TFs (Snail1/2, Twist1/2 and Zeb1/2) are labile proteins which should be stabilized to initiate EMT and provide full mi- gratory and invasive properties. We present here a family of enzymes, the deubiquitinases (DUBs) which have a crucial role in counteracting polyubiquitination and proteasomal degra- dation of EMT-TFs after their induction by TGFβ, inflammatory cytokines and hypoxia. We also describe the DUBs promoting the stabilization of Smads, TGFβ receptors and other key proteins involved in transduction pathways controlling EMT. Introduction Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cell process allowing epithelial cells to adopt mesenchy- mal properties and enhance their migratory capability [1]. Although some other types of migration have been described [3,4], in this review, we will focus on that related with EMT and describe how it is modu- lated by a myriad of labile proteins that need to be stabilized. In particular, we will analyze the role of an emergent class of enzymes called deubiquitinases (DUBs) in several aspects of cell migration. Typesofcellmigration Physiological cell migration during embryonic development and wound healing EMT is particularly relevant during embryonic development since it allows cells to migrate over extremely long distances in the embryo, giving rise to the formation of the three-dimensional structures and orig- ination of the different organs in the final organism. EMT happens early in embryonic development, in the generation of parietal endoderm and in the mesoderm and neural crest formation [2–4]. For instance, neural crest arises from a population of precursor cells that escape from the neural tube and migrate a long distance in the embryo, promoting the formation of different subtypes of cells [5]. Upon migra- tion of neural crest cells to the different locations, cells become again epithelial undergoing the opposite Received: 21 June 2019 process, the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition, performing transient epithelial structures such as the Revised: 30 September 2019 somites, the precursors of the urogenital system and the splachnopleure. These structures again undergo Accepted: 01 October 2019 EMT to promote mesenchymal cells with a more restricted differentiation potential [5].

Keratinocytes from the epidermis located at the wound border undergo a partial EMT, acquiring the capa- bilities to migrate [2]. Pathological cell migration: fibrosis and cancer metastasis Cell migration is also involved in pathological processes such as fibrosis and cancer invasion. Fibrosis involves organ degeneration and takes place following tissue injuries such as cardiac failure [6]. This results in a massive deposition of collagen fibers mediated by fibroblastic cells derived from a set of epithelial cells via an EMT process. These cells migrate to the injured tissue and secrete a huge amount of fibroblastic proteins such as Collagen I and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) [6]. The fibrotic EMT has been observed in many organs, such as liver, lung and intestine [7]. EMT also plays a crucial role in cancer. Even though EMT features had been largely observed in in vitro and in vivo cancer models, the relevance of EMT for cancer metastasis has been a matter of debate for many years [8]. This is due to the similarity between the mesenchymal cells derived from an EMT program and the stromal cells, two cell Downloaded from https://portlandpress.com/essaysbiochem/article-pdf/63/5/579/859061/ebc-2019-0022c.pdf by guest on 05 November 2019 types sharing similar markers [2]. The first relationship between EMT and cancer metastasis was observed in HER2 transgenic mice showing cancer cells with migratory features [9]. On the other hand, detection of cell aggregates detaching from the tumor into the adjacent stroma further confirmed the involvement of EMT in cancer metastasis [10]. Genetic lineage-tracing experiments have formally demonstrated the role of EMT during invasion [11], although other studies have questioned a critical role of EMT in metastasis [12,13]. In any case, besides metastasis formation, the role of EMT in chemo-resistance is beyond any doubt [14,15]. Molecular mechanisms controlling cell migration Epithelial cells maintain cell contacts between them through the arrangement of tight junctions, desmosomes and adherent junctions which are lost during EMT promotion. Occludins, claudins and Zona-Occludens 1 (components of tight junctions) or desmoplakins (of desmosomes) are down-regulated during EMT. However, the most relevant feature of EMT is the loss of the essential homotypic adherent junction E-cadherin [16], encoded by the CDH1 gene, which mediates homophilic intercellular interactions through its extracellular domain. These junctions are main- tained by anchoring its intracellular domain to actin filaments via β-catenin association [17]. This loss of the epithe- lial markers is accompanied by an up-regulation of mesenchymal proteins such as Fibronectin. Fibronectin mediates extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly through the binding to α5β1 integrins; this stimulates its self-association and organizes the actin cytoskeleton to promote cell contractility. It also allows the assembly of other fibrous proteins such as Collagen I [18]. Another relevant trait in the modulation of cell migration is the positive modulation of the Rho-GTPases, involved in lamelipodium extension at the front of the cell, formation of new adhesions of the cell to surrounding matrix proteins, cell body contraction and tail retraction [19]. Moreover, Rho is essential to mediate actin contractility to promote fibronectin-dependent ECM assembly [20]. Cell migration also requires the up-regulation of proteases that degrade basement membranes, enhancing the capability of cells to invade and migrate [21,22]. Transcription factors modulating EMT and cell migration The expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers is tightly regulated by different transcription factors collec- tively known as transcription factors modulating EMT (EMT-TFs). Snail1 is considered the main EMT-TF [16]. It binds sequences with a 5-CACCTG-3 core located in the promoters of CDH1 and other epithelial markers, such as occludins and claudins. Besides its role as a repressor, Snail1 also works as an activator, up-regulating the expression of mesenchymal markers such as fibronectin and the EMT-TFs Zeb1 and 2 [23–25]. Similar to Snail1, Zeb1 and 2 repress E-cadherin and are required for EMT [26]. Besides Snail1 and Zeb1/2, other EMT-TFs also promoting migra- tion are the basic helix–loop–helix proteins Twist1 and 2 [27]. Snail1 and EMT-TFs induce all the molecular events required for cell migration such as a high protease secretion and a stimulation of Rho-GTPase and Akt activity, a proteinkinasealsorequiredforcellinvasion[4]. Signaling pathways controlling EMT Different signaling pathways induce EMT being the most studied that are triggered by TGF-β [28]. TGF-β signals through serine/threonine kinase receptors; it binds to the TGF-β receptor type II (TβRII) that associates with the typeI(TβRI), phosphorylating its Ser/Thr kinase domain; this propagates the signal through the recruitment and phosphorylation of the Smad proteins [29]. TGF-β activates Snai1 transcription through Smad–HMGA2 complex that binds to the Snai1 promoter [30]. TGF-β pathway also cross-talks with other signaling pathways, such as Wnt and Notch. Canonical Wnt ligands interact with the transmembrane proteins LRP5/6 and Frizzled promoting the recruitment of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)/Axin/Glycogen-synthase kinase 3 complex to the membrane 580 © 2019 The Author(s).

    Wen et al. Cancer Cell Int (2018) 18:128 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12935-018-0625-9 Cancer Cell International PRIMARY RESEARCH Open Access Sulbactam‑enhanced cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in breast cancer cells Shao‑hsuan Wen1†, Shey‑chiang Su2†, Bo‑huang Liou3, Cheng‑hao Lin1 and Kuan‑rong Lee1* Abstract Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in breast cancer treatment. The predominant mecha‑ nism underlying MDR is an increase in the activity of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent drug efux trans‑ porters. Sulbactam, a β-lactamase inhibitor, is generally combined with β-lactam antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. However, sulbactam alone can be used to treat Acinetobacter baumannii infections because it inhibits the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. This is the frst study to report the efects of sulbactam on mammalian cells. Methods: We used the breast cancer cell lines as a model system to determine whether sulbactam afects cancer cells. The cell viabilities in the present of doxorubicin with or without sulbactam were measured by MTT assay. Protein identities and the changes in protein expression levels in the cells after sulbactam and doxorubicin treatment were determined using LC–MS/MS. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) was used to analyze the change in mRNA expression levels of ABC transporters after treatment of doxorubicin with or without sulbactam. The efux of doxorubicin was measures by the doxorubicin efux assay. Results: MTT assay revealed that sulbactam enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in breast cancer cells. The results of proteomics showed that ABC transporter proteins and proteins associated with the process of transcription and initiation of translation were reduced.

Supplementary Figure 2. Evaluation of doxycycline concentration in the plasma of mice treated with doxycycline in their drinking water. Luciferase expressing CHO cells (Tet- off) (Clonethech Inc) that is responsive to doxycycline by turning off luciferase expression was treated with different concentrations of doxycycline in culture. A standard curve (blue line) correlating luciferase activity (y-axis) with treatment of doxycycline (x- axis) was generated for the CHO cell in culture. Plasma from mice treated with different concentrations of doxycycline in their drinking water was separated and added to the media of the CHO cells. Luciferase activity was measured and plotted on the standard curve (see legend box). The actual concentration of doxycycline in the plasma was extrapolated for the luciferase activity measured. The doxycycline concentration 0.2 ng/ml measured in the plasma of mice correlates with 0.05 μg/ml doxycycline treatment in the drinking water of mice, the in vivo threshold for tumor regression.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3b (GSK3b), a key serine/threonine kinase in the destruction complex, is responsible for several phosphorylation events that mark b-catenin for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Because modulation of both b-catenin and GSK3b activity may have important implications for treating disease, a complete understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the b-catenin/GSK3b interaction is warranted. We screened an arrayed lentivirus library expressing small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting 5,201 human druggable genes for silencing events that activate a b- catenin pathway reporter (BAR) in synergy with 6-bromoindirubin-39oxime (BIO), a specific inhibitor of GSK3b. Top screen hits included shRNAs targeting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), the target of the anti-inflammatory compound methotrexate. Exposure of cells to BIO plus methotrexate resulted in potent synergistic activation of BAR activity, reduction of b-catenin phosphorylation at GSK3-specific sites, and accumulation of nuclear b-catenin.

Soares, Ph.D. Date approved: 04/01/2013 ii ABSTRACT During the establishment of pregnancy, uterine stromal cells differentiate into decidual cells and recruit natural killer (NK) cells. These NK cells are characterized by low cytotoxicity and distinct cytokine production. In rodent as well as in human pregnancy, the uterine NK cells peak in number around mid-gestation after which they decline. NK cells associate with uterine spiral arteries and are implicated in pregnancy associated vascular remodeling processes and potentially in modulating trophoblast invasion. Failure of trophoblast invasion and vascular remodeling has been shown to be associated with pathological conditions like preeclampsia syndrome, hypertension in mother and/or fetal growth restriction. We hypothesize that NK cells fundamentally contribute to the organization of the placentation site. In order to study the in vivo role of NK cells during pregnancy, gestation stage- specific NK cell depletion was performed in rats using anti asialo GM1 antibodies.

Published investigations of OCCC have mainly focused only on individual genes and lack of systematic integrated research to analyze the pathogenesis of OCCC in a genome-wide perspective. Thus, we conducted an integrated analysis using transcriptome datasets from a public domain database to determine genes that may be implicated in the pathogenesis involved in OCCC carcinogenesis. We used the data obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) DataSets. We found six interactive functional gene clusters in the pathogenesis network of OCCC, including ribosomal protein, eukaryotic translation initiation factors, lactate, prostaglandin, proteasome, and insulin-like growth factor.

The laboratory mouse provides an ideal model to study aging in healthy individuals in a controlled environment. However, previous mouse studies have examined only a narrow range of the genetic variation that shapes individual differences during aging. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and proteome data from hearts of genetically diverse mice at ages 6, 12 and 18 months to characterize molecular changes that occur in the aging heart. Transcripts and proteins reveal distinct biological processes that are altered through the course of natural aging. Transcriptome analysis reveals a scenario of cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reemergence of fetal gene expression patterns.
