  • A key role of microRNA-29b in suppression of osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration via modulation of VEGF. 25337211

    MicroRNA (miRNA) is a small, non-coding RNAs and it could post-transcriptionally related gene expression by negatively regulating the stability or translational efficiency of their target genes. Previous studies have reported the antineoplastic effect of microRNA-29b (miR-29b) in several kinds of cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of miR-29b in human osteosarcoma pathogenesis. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine the expression level of miR-29b in 20 osteosarcoma specimens and adjacent normal bone tissues. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were employed to detect the effect of miR-29b on the osteosarcoma cell line MG63. The results showed that miR-29b expression was relatively decreased in osteosarcoma specimens compared with adjacent normal tissues. Overexpression of miR-29b suppressed MG63 cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Meanwhile miR-29b could induce apoptosis of MG63. Besides, miR-29b directly targets VEGF and over-expression of miR-29b led to down-regulation of VEGF protein level, In conclusions, miR-29b may play an important role in osteosarcoma progression, which might negatively regulate the expression of VEGF and suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of MG63 cell line.

  • A key role for calpains in retinal ganglion cell death. 18055788

    The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of calpains in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis and the protection afforded by calpain inhibitors against cell death.Two different models of RGC apoptosis were used, namely the RGC-5 cell line after either intracellular calcium influx or serum withdrawal and retinal explant culture involving optic nerve axotomy. Flow cytometry analysis with Annexin V/PI staining was used to identify RGC-5 cells undergoing apoptosis after treatment. TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to identify cells undergoing apoptosis in retinal explant sections under various conditions. Serial sectioning was used to isolate the cell population of the ganglion cell layer (GCL). Western blotting was used to demonstrate calpain cleavage and activity by detecting cleaved substrates.In the RGC-5 cell line, the authors reported the activation of mu-calpain and m-calpain after serum starvation and calcium ionophore treatment, with concurrent cleavage of known calpain substrates. They found that the inhibition of calpains leads to the protection of cells from apoptosis. In the second model, after a serial sectioning method to isolate the cells of the ganglion cell layer (GCL) on a retinal explant paradigm, protein analysis indicated the activation of calpains after axotomy, with concomitant cleavage of calpain substrates. The authors found that inhibition of calpains significantly protected cells in the GCL from cell death.These results suggest that calpains are crucial for apoptosis in RGCs after calcium influx, serum starvation, and optic nerve injury.

  • Role of key aromatic residues in the ligand-binding domain of alpha7 nicotinic receptors in the agonist action of beta-amyloid. 21828053

    Soluble β-amyloid (Aβ) resides in certain regions of the brain at or near picomolar concentration, rising in level during the prodromic stage of Alzheimer disease. Recently, we identified the homomeric α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) as one possible functional target for picomolar Aβ. This study was aimed at addressing which residues in α7-nAChRs potentially interact with Aβ to regulate the presynaptic function of this receptor. Site-directed mutagenesis was carried out to study the key aromatic residues in the mouse α7-nAChR agonist-binding pocket. Mutations of tyrosine188 resulted in a decrease in activation of presynaptic α7-nAChRs by ACh and Aβ but with no change in response to nicotine, indicating the critical role of Tyr-188 in presynaptic regulation by Aβ. Coimmunoprecipitation additionally revealed direct binding of Aβ to α7-nAChRs and to the Tyr-188 mutant receptor. In contrast, mutations of Tyr-195 in α7-nAChR led to decreased activation by nicotine without apparent effects on ACh- or Aβ-induced responses. Agonist-induced responses of Tyr-93 mutant α7-nAChRs indicated possible interactions of nicotine and Aβ with its hydroxyl group, but there was no change in presynaptic responses after mutation of Trp-149. All of the mutants were shown to be expressed on the plasma membrane using cell surface labeling. Together, these results directly demonstrate an essential role for the aromatic residue Tyr-188 as a key component in the agonist binding domain for the activation of α7-nAChRs by Aβ.

  • Key pathways regulated by HoxA9,10,11/HoxD9,10,11 during limb development. 26186931

    The 39 mammalian Hox genes show problematic patterns of functional overlap. In order to more fully define the developmental roles of Hox genes it is necessary to remove multiple combinations of paralogous and flanking genes. In addition, the downstream molecular pathways regulated by Hox genes during limb development remain incompletely delineated.In this report we examine limb development in mice with frameshift mutations in six Hox genes, Hoxa9,10,11 and Hoxd9,10,11. The mice were made with a novel recombineering method that allows the simultaneous targeting of frameshift mutations into multiple flanking genes. The Hoxa9,10,11 (-/-) /Hoxd9,10,11 (-/-) mutant mice show a reduced ulna and radius that is more severe than seen in Hoxa11 (-/-)/Hoxd11 (-/-) mice, indicating a minor role for the flanking Hox9,10 genes in zeugopod development, as well as their primary function in stylopod development. The mutant mice also show severe reduction of Shh expression in the zone of polarizing activity, and decreased Fgf8 expression in the apical ectodermal ridge, thereby better defining the roles of these specific Hox genes in the regulation of critical signaling centers during limb development. Importantly, we also used laser capture microdissection coupled with RNA-Seq to characterize the gene expression programs in wild type and mutant limbs. Resting, proliferative and hypertrophic compartments of E15.5 forelimb zeugopods were examined. The results provide an RNA-Seq characterization of the progression of gene expression patterns during normal endochondral bone formation. In addition of the Hox mutants showed strongly altered expression of Pknox2, Zfp467, Gdf5, Bmpr1b, Dkk3, Igf1, Hand2, Shox2, Runx3, Bmp7 and Lef1, all of which have been previously shown to play important roles in bone formation.The recombineering based frameshift mutation of the six flanking and paralogous Hoxa9,10,11 and Hoxd9,10,11 genes provides a resource for the analysis of their overlapping functions. Analysis of the Hoxa9,10,11 (-/-) /Hoxd9,10,11 (-/-) mutant limbs confirms and extends the results of previous studies using mice with Hox mutations in single paralogous groups or with entire Hox cluster deletions. The RNA-Seq analysis of specific compartments of the normal and mutant limbs defines the multiple key perturbed pathways downstream of these Hox genes.

  • Gain of DNA methylation is enhanced in the absence of CTCF at the human retinoblastoma gene promoter. 21663659

    Long-term gene silencing throughout cell division is generally achieved by DNA methylation and other epigenetic processes. Aberrant DNA methylation is now widely recognized to be associated with cancer and other human diseases. Here we addressed the contribution of the multifunctional nuclear factor CTCF to the epigenetic regulation of the human retinoblastoma (Rb) gene promoter in different tumoral cell lines.To assess the DNA methylation status of the Rb promoter, genomic DNA from stably transfected human erythroleukemic K562 cells expressing a GFP reporter transgene was transformed with sodium bisulfite, and then PCR-amplified with modified primers and sequenced. Single- and multi-copy integrants with the CTCF binding site mutated were isolated and characterized by Southern blotting. Silenced transgenes were reactivated using 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine and Trichostatin-A, and their expression was monitored by fluorescent cytometry. Rb gene expression and protein abundance were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting in three different glioma cell lines, and DNA methylation of the promoter region was determined by sodium bisulfite sequencing, together with CTCF dissociation and methyl-CpG-binding protein incorporation by chromatin immunoprecipitation assays.We found that the inability of CTCF to bind to the Rb promoter causes a dramatic loss of gene expression and a progressive gain of DNA methylation.This study indicates that CTCF plays an important role in maintaining the Rb promoter in an optimal chromatin configuration. The absence of CTCF induces a rapid epigenetic silencing through a progressive gain of DNA methylation. Consequently, CTCF can now be seen as one of the epigenetic components that allows the proper configuration of tumor suppressor gene promoters. Its aberrant dissociation can then predispose key genes in cancer cells to acquire DNA methylation and epigenetic silencing.

  • Changes in key hypothalamic neuropeptide populations in Huntington disease revealed by neuropathological analyses. 20821223

    Huntington disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the HD gene. Degeneration concentrating in the basal ganglia has been thought to account for the characteristic psychiatric symptoms, cognitive decline and motor dysfunction. However, the homeostatic control of emotions and metabolism are disturbed early in HD, and focused studies have identified a loss of orexin (hypocretin) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus in HD patients. There has been limited assessment of other hypothalamic cell populations that may be involved. In this study, we quantified the neuropeptide-expressing hypothalamic neurons known to regulate metabolism and emotion in patients with HD compared to healthy controls using unbiased stereological methods. We confirmed the loss of orexin-expressing neurons in HD and revealed substantial differences in the peptide expression of other neuronal populations in the same patients. Both oxytocin- and vasopressin-expressing neurons were decreased by 45 and 24%, respectively, while the number of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART)-expressing neurons was increased by 30%. The increased expression of CART in the hypothalamus is consistent with a previous study showing increased CART levels in cerebrospinal fluid from HD patients. There was no difference in the numbers of neuropeptide Y-expressing neurons. These results show significant and specific alterations in the peptide expression of hypothalamic neurons known to regulate metabolism and emotion. They may be important in the development of psychiatric symptoms and metabolic disturbances in HD, and may provide potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

  • Key basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor genes Hes1 and Ngn2 are regulated by Pax3 during mouse embryonic development. 18308300

    Pax3 is expressed early during embryonic development in spatially restricted domains including limb muscle, neural crest, and neural tube. Pax3 functions at the nodal point in melanocyte stem cell differentiation, cardiogenesis and neurogenesis. Additionally Pax3 has been implicated in migration and differentiation of precursor cell populations. Currently there are questions about how Pax3 regulates these diverse functions. In this study we found that in the absence of functional Pax3, as in Splotch embryos, the neural crest cells undergo premature neurogenesis, as evidenced by increased Brn3a positive staining in neural tube explants, in comparison with wild-type. Premature neurogenesis in the absence of functional Pax3 may be due to a change in the regulation of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors implicated in proliferation and differentiation. Using promoter-luciferase activity measurements in transient co-transfection experiments and electro-mobility shift assays, we show that Pax3 regulates Hairy and enhancer of split homolog-1 (Hes1) and Neurogenin2 (Ngn2) by directly binding to their promoters. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that Pax3 bound to cis-regulatory elements within Hes1 and Ngn2 promoters. These observations suggest that Pax3 regulates Hes1 and Ngn2 and imply that it may couple migration with neural stem cell maintenance and neurogenesis.

  • Key regulators control distinct transcriptional programmes in blood progenitor and mast cells. 24760698

    Despite major advances in the generation of genome-wide binding maps, the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TFs) regulate cell type identity have remained largely obscure. Through comparative analysis of 10 key haematopoietic TFs in both mast cells and blood progenitors, we demonstrate that the largely cell type-specific binding profiles are not opportunistic, but instead contribute to cell type-specific transcriptional control, because (i) mathematical modelling of differential binding of shared TFs can explain differential gene expression, (ii) consensus binding sites are important for cell type-specific binding and (iii) knock-down of blood stem cell regulators in mast cells reveals mast cell-specific genes as direct targets. Finally, we show that the known mast cell regulators Mitf and c-fos likely contribute to the global reorganisation of TF binding profiles. Taken together therefore, our study elucidates how key regulatory TFs contribute to transcriptional programmes in several distinct mammalian cell types.

  • MPC1, a key gene in cancer metabolism, is regulated by COUPTFII in human prostate cancer. 26895100

    Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) and MPC 2 form a transporter complex in cells to control pyruvate transportation into mitochondria. Reduced expression of MPC1 disrupts the transporter function, induces metabolic shift to increase glycolysis, and thus plays important roles in several diseases, including cancer. However, the role of MPC1 in prostate cancer and the underlying mechanism causing the down-regulation of MPC1 in tumor cells remain to be defined. Here, we show that MPC1 serves as a critical regulator of glycolysis in prostate cancer cells, which in turn controls cancer cell growth, invasion, and the tumorigenic capability. More importantly, we identified that chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor II (COUP-TFII), a steroid receptor superfamily member, transcriptionally regulates the expression of MPC1. We further demonstrate that COUP-TFII, which is upregulated in the prostate cancer patient, regulates MPC1 and glycolysis to promote tumor growth and metastasis. Our findings reveal that COUP-TFII represses MPC1 expression in prostate cancer cells to facilitate a metabolism switch to increase glycolysis and promote cancer progression. This observation raises an intriguing possibility of targeting COUP-TFII to modulate cancer cell metabolism for prostate cancer intervention.

  • Gain control by layer six in cortical circuits of vision. 22367547

    After entering the cerebral cortex, sensory information spreads through six different horizontal neuronal layers that are interconnected by vertical axonal projections. It is believed that through these projections layers can influence each other's response to sensory stimuli, but the specific role that each layer has in cortical processing is still poorly understood. Here we show that layer six in the primary visual cortex of the mouse has a crucial role in controlling the gain of visually evoked activity in neurons of the upper layers without changing their tuning to orientation. This gain modulation results from the coordinated action of layer six intracortical projections to superficial layers and deep projections to the thalamus, with a substantial role of the intracortical circuit. This study establishes layer six as a major mediator of cortical gain modulation and suggests that it could be a node through which convergent inputs from several brain areas can regulate the earliest steps of cortical visual processing.
