The multifunctional sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid signaling molecule and central
regulator in the development of several cancer types. In recent years, intriguing information has
become available regarding the role of S1P in the progression of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM),
the most aggressive and common brain tumor in adults. S1P modulates numerous cellular processes
in GBM, such as oncogenesis, proliferation and survival, invasion, migration, metastasis and stem cell
behavior. These processes are regulated via a family of five G-protein-coupled S1P receptors (S1PR1-5)
and may involve mainly unknown intracellular targets. Distinct expression patterns and multiple
intracellular signaling pathways of each S1PR subtype enable S1P to exert its pleiotropic cellular
actions. Several studies have demonstrated alterations in S1P levels, the involvement of S1PRs
and S1P metabolizing enzymes in GBM pathophysiology. While the tumorigenic actions of S1P
involve the activation of several kinases and transcription factors, the specific G-protein (Gi, Gq,
and G12/13)-coupled signaling pathways and downstream mediated effects in GBM remain to be
elucidated in detail. This review summarizes the recent findings concerning the role of S1P and its
receptors in GBM. We further highlight the current insights into the signaling pathways considered
fundamental for regulating the cellular processes in GMB and ultimately patient prognosis.
Salivary glands provide secretory functions, including secretion of xenobiotics and among
them drugs. However, there is no published information about protein abundance of drug transporters
measured using reliable protein quantification methods. Therefore, mRNA expression and absolute
protein content of clinically relevant ABC (n = 6) and SLC (n = 15) family member transporters in the
human parotid gland, using the qRT-PCR and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(LC−MS/MS) method, were studied. The abundance of nearly all measured proteins ranged between
0.04 and 0.45 pmol/mg (OCT3 > MRP1 > PEPT2 > MRP4 > MATE1 > BCRP). mRNAs of ABCB1,
ABCC2, ABCC3, SLC10A1, SLC10A2, SLC22A1, SLC22A5, SLC22A6, SLC22A7, SLC22A8, SLCO1A2,
SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3 and SLCO2B1 were not detected. The present study provides, for the first time,
information about the protein abundance of membrane transporters in the human parotid gland,
which could further be used to define salivary bidirectional transport (absorption and secretion)
mechanisms of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics.
Exogenous glucocorticoids increase the risk for osteoporosis, but the role of endogenous glucocorticoids remains elusive. Here, we describe the generation and validation of a loss- and a gain-of-function model of the cortisol producing enzyme 11β-HSD1 (HSD11B1) to modulate the endogenous glucocorticoid conversion in SCP-1 cells — a model for human mesenchymal stem cells capable of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. CRISPR-Cas9 was successfully used to generate a cell line carrying a single base duplication and a 5 bp deletion in exon 5, leading to missense amino acid sequences after codon 146. These inactivating genomic alterations were validated by deep sequencing and by cloning with subsequent capillary sequencing. 11β-HSD1 protein levels were reduced by 70% in the knockout cells and cortisol production was not detectable. Targeted chromosomal integration was used to stably overexpress HSD11B1. Compared to wildtype cells, HSD11B1 overexpression resulted in a 7.9-fold increase in HSD11B1 mRNA expression, a 5-fold increase in 11β-HSD1 protein expression and 3.3-fold increase in extracellular cortisol levels under adipogenic differentiation. The generated cells were used to address the effects of 11β-HSD1 expression on adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. Compared to the wildtype, HSD11B1 overexpression led to a 3.7-fold increase in mRNA expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and 2.5-fold increase in lipid production under adipogenic differentiation. Under osteogenic differentiation, HSD11B1 knockout led to enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA expression, and HSD11B1 overexpression resulted in a 4.6-fold and 11.7-fold increase in mRNA expression of Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) and LPL, respectively. Here we describe a HSD11B1 loss- and gain-of-function model in SCP-1 cells at genetic, molecular and functional levels. We used these models to study the effects of endogenous cortisol production on mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and demonstrate an 11β-HSD1 dependent switch from osteogenic to adipogenic differentiation. These results might help to better understand the role of endogenous cortisol production in osteoporosis on a molecular and cellular level.
Previous studies have reported the fundamental role of immunoregulatory
proteins in the clinical phenotype and outcome of sepsis. This study investigated two functional single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3
(TIM-3), which has a negative stimulatory function in the T cell immune response. Methods: Patients
with sepsis (n = 712) were prospectively enrolled from three intensive care units (ICUs) at the University
Medical Center Goettingen since 2012. All patients were genotyped for the TIM-3 SNPs rs1036199 and
rs10515746. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Disease severity and microbiological findings
were secondary endpoints. Results: Kaplan–Meier survival analysis demonstrated a significantly
lower 28-day mortality for TIM-3 rs1036199 AA homozygous patients compared to C-allele carriers
(18% vs. 27%, p = 0.0099) and TIM-3 rs10515746 CC homozygous patients compared to A-allele
carriers (18% vs. 26%, p = 0.0202). The TIM-3 rs1036199 AA genotype and rs10515746 CC genotype
remained significant predictors for 28-day mortality in the multivariate Cox regression analysis after
adjustment for relevant confounders (adjusted hazard ratios: 0.67 and 0.70). Additionally, patients
carrying the rs1036199 AA genotype presented more Gram-positive and Staphylococcus epidermidis
infections, and rs10515746 CC homozygotes presented more Staphylococcus epidermidis infections.
Conclusion: The studied TIM-3 genetic variants are associated with altered 28-day mortality and
susceptibility to Gram-positive infections in sepsis.
Membrane monocarboxylate transporter 1 (SLC16A1/MCT1) plays an important role in
hepatocyte homeostasis, as well as drug handling. However, there is no available information
about the impact of liver pathology on the transporter levels and function. The study was aimed to
quantify SLC16A1 mRNA (qRT-PCR) and MCT1 protein abundance (liquid chromatography–tandem
mass spectrometry (LC¬¬–MS/MS)) in the livers of patients diagnosed, according to the standard
clinical criteria, with hepatitis C, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing hepatitis, alcoholic liver
disease (ALD), and autoimmune hepatitis. The stage of liver dysfunction was classified according to
Child–Pugh score. Downregulation of SLC16A1/MCT1 levels was observed in all liver pathology
states, significantly for ALD. The progression of liver dysfunction, from Child–Pugh class A to C,
involved the gradual decline in SLC16A1 mRNA and MCT1 protein abundance, reaching a clinically
significant decrease in class C livers. Reduced levels of MCT1 were associated with significant
intracellular lactate accumulation. The MCT1 transcript and protein did not demonstrate significant
correlations regardless of the liver pathology analyzed, as well as the disease stage, suggesting
posttranscriptional regulation, and several microRNAs were found as potential regulators of MCT1
abundance. MCT1 membrane immunolocalization without cytoplasmic retention was observed in all
studied liver pathologies. Overall, the study demonstrates that SLC16A1/MCT1 is involved in liver
pathology, especially in ALD
Die Sicherheit und Wirksamkeit der Arzneimitteltherapie wird maßgeblich von Transportproteinen beeinflusst. Die zelluläre Lokalisation von Transportern hat hierbei wesentlichen Einfluss darauf, ob diese als funktionelle Aufnahme- oder Effluxtransporter fungieren. Für den menschlichen Darm ist die Lokalisation einiger Transporter noch unklar. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist der organic cation transporter (OCT1), welcher für die intestinale Aufnahme zahlreicher kationischer Arzneistoffe, wie beispielsweise Morphin verantwortlich gemacht wird. Bisher gibt es allerdings widersprüchliche Aussagen über die exakte Lokalisation dieses Transporters in der Zellmembran von Enterozyten. Folglich ist die tatsächliche Bedeutung dieses Proteins für die Absorption von Arzneistoffen bis heute ungeklärt.
Daher war das Ziel dieser Arbeit die Expression, Lokalisation und Funktion von OCT1 in Enterozyten anhand verschiedener labortechnischer Methoden näher zu charakterisieren.
Mittels Immunfluoreszenzfärbung wurde versucht die Lokalisation von OCT1 im Zellmodell zu bestimmen. Ebenfalls im Zellmodell erfolgte die Untersuchung des vektoriellen Transportes von Morphin mittels Transwellassay. Diese, sowie entsprechende Analysen vitalen intestinalen Gewebes in der Ussing-Kammer, wurden genutzt, um indirekt Rückschlüsse auf die Transporterlokalisation zu ziehen.
Trotz eindeutiger und der Hypothese entsprechender Expression und Funktion in MDCKII-OCT1/P-gp-Zellen, konnten im Rahmen dieser Arbeit keine eindeutigen Ergebnisse bezüglich der Lokalisation von OCT1 in Caco-2-Zellen generiert werden.
Caco-2-Zellen sollten als Zellmodell für Enterozyten, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Charakterisierung von OCT1, neu bewertet werden, da aktuellen Erkenntnissen entsprechend möglicherweise keine signifikante Expression von OCT1 in diesen Zellen vorliegt. Auch das genutzte OCT1-Modellsubstrat Morphin ist möglicherweise problematisch. Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass es sich bei den vorliegenden Daten aufgrund der geringen Versuchszahl nur um vorläufige Ergebnisse handeln kann, welche in zukünftigen Arbeiten verifiziert werden sollten.
Zusammenfassend kann festgehalten werden, dass die vorliegende Arbeit zwar keine neuen Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Lokalisation von OCT1 in Enterozyten erbringen konnte, jedoch die Bedeutung eines kritischen Umgangs mit etablierten Methoden und deren Ergebnissen unterstreicht.
PIM1 Inhibition Affects Glioblastoma Stem Cell Behavior and Kills Glioblastoma Stem-like Cells
(2021)
Despite comprehensive therapy and extensive research, glioblastoma (GBM) still represents the most aggressive brain tumor in adults. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are thought to play a major role in tumor progression and resistance of GBM cells to radiochemotherapy. The PIM1 kinase has become a focus in cancer research. We have previously demonstrated that PIM1 is involved in survival of GBM cells and in GBM growth in a mouse model. However, little is known about the importance of PIM1 in cancer stem cells. Here, we report on the role of PIM1 in GBM stem cell behavior and killing. PIM1 inhibition negatively regulates the protein expression of the stem cell markers CD133 and Nestin in GBM cells (LN-18, U-87 MG). In contrast, CD44 and the astrocytic differentiation marker GFAP were up-regulated. Furthermore, PIM1 expression was increased in neurospheres as a model of GBM stem-like cells. Treatment of neurospheres with PIM1 inhibitors (TCS PIM1-1, Quercetagetin, and LY294002) diminished the cell viability associated with reduced DNA synthesis rate, increased caspase 3 activity, decreased PCNA protein expression, and reduced neurosphere formation. Our results indicate that PIM1 affects the glioblastoma stem cell behavior, and its inhibition kills glioblastoma stem-like cells, pointing to PIM1 targeting as a potential anti-glioblastoma therapy.
Doxorubicin is a frequently used anticancer drug to treat many types of tumors, such as breast cancer or bronchial carcinoma. The clinical use of doxorubicin is limited by its poorly predictable cardiotoxicity, the reasons of which are so far not fully understood. The drug is a substrate of several efflux transporters such as P-gp or BCRP and was recently reported to be a substrate of cation uptake transporters. To evaluate the potential role of transporter proteins in the accumulation of doxorubicin at its site of action (e.g., mammary carcinoma cells) or adverse effects (e.g., heart muscle cells), we studied the expression of important uptake and efflux transporters in human breast cancer and cardiac tissue, and investigated the affinity of doxorubicin to the identified transporters. The cellular uptake studies on doxorubicin were performed with OATP1A2*1, OATP1A2*2, and OATP1A2*3-overexpressing HEK293 cells, as well as OCT1-, OCT2-, and OCT3- overexpressing MDCKII cells. To assess the contribution of transporters to the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, we determined the cell viability in the presence and absence of transporter inhibitors in different cell lines. Several transporters, including P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, OCT3, and OATP1A2 were expressed in human heart and/or breast cancer tissue. Doxorubicin could be identified as a substrate of OCT1, OCT2, OCT3, and OATP1A2. The cellular uptake into cells expressing genetic OATP1A2 variants was markedly reduced and correlated well with the increased cellular viability. Inhibition of OATP1A2 (naringin) and OCT transporters (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium) resulted in a significant decrease of doxorubicin-mediated cytotoxicity in cell lines expressing the respective transporters. Similarly, the excipient Cremophor EL significantly inhibited the OCT1-3- and OATP1A2-mediated cellular uptake and attenuated the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin. In conclusion, genetic and environmental-related variability in the expression and function of these transporters may contribute to the substantial variability seen in terms of doxorubicin efficacy and toxicity.
Transmembrane drug transport in hepatocytes is one of the major determinants of drug pharmacokinetics. In the present study, ABC transporters (P-gp, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, BCRP, and BSEP) and SLC transporters (MCT1, NTCP, OAT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, OCT1, and OCT3) were quantified for protein abundance (LC-MS/MS) and mRNA levels (qRT-PCR) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected liver samples from the Child–Pugh class A (n = 30), B (n = 21), and C (n = 7) patients. Protein levels of BSEP, MRP3, MCT1, OAT2, OATP1B3, and OCT3 were not significantly affected by HCV infection. P-gp, MRP1, BCRP, and OATP1B3 protein abundances were upregulated, whereas those of MRP2, MRP4, NTCP, OATP2B1, and OCT1 were downregulated in all HCV samples. The observed changes started to be seen in the Child–Pugh class A livers, i.e., upregulation of P-gp and MRP1 and downregulation of MRP2, MRP4, BCRP, and OATP1B3. In the case of NTCP, OATP2B1, and OCT1, a decrease in the protein levels was observed in the class B livers. In the class C livers, no other changes were noted than those in the class A and B patients. The results of the study demonstrate that drug transporter protein abundances are affected by the functional state of the liver in hepatitis C patients.
Background: Unwanted drug-drug interactions (DDIs), as caused by the upregulation of clinically relevant drug metabolizing enzymes and transporter proteins in intestine and liver, have the potential to threaten the therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs. The molecular mechanism of this undesired but frequently occurring scenario of polypharmacy is based on the activation of nuclear receptors such as the pregnane X receptor (PXR) or the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) by perpetrator agents such as rifampin, phenytoin or St. John’s wort. However, the expression pattern of nuclear receptors in human intestine and liver remains uncertain, which makes it difficult to predict the extent of potential DDIs. Thus, it was the aim of this study to characterize the gene expression and protein abundance of clinically relevant nuclear receptors, i.e., the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), CAR, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α), PXR and small heterodimer partner (SHP), in the aforementioned organs. Methods: Gene expression analysis was performed by quantitative real-time PCR of jejunal, ileal, colonic and liver samples from eight human subjects. In parallel, a targeted proteomic method was developed and validated in order to determine the respective protein amounts of nuclear receptors in human intestinal and liver samples. The LC-MS/MS method was validated according to the current bioanalytical guidelines and met the criteria regarding linearity (0.1–50 nmol/L), within-day and between-day accuracy and precision, as well as the stability criteria. Results: The developed method was successfully validated and applied to determine the abundance of nuclear receptors in human intestinal and liver samples. Gene expression and protein abundance data demonstrated marked differences in human intestine and liver. On the protein level, only AhR and HNF4α could be detected in gut and liver, which corresponds to their highest gene expression. In transfected cell lines, PXR and CAR could be quantified. Conclusions: The substantially different expression pattern of nuclear receptors in human intestinal and liver tissue may explain the different extent of unwanted DDIs in the dependence on the administration route of drugs.
