The main function of the 3′–5′ DNA exonuclease TREX1 is to digest cytosolic single-stranded DNA to prevent activation of cell-intrinsic responses to immunostimulatory DNA. TREX1 translocates to the nucleus following DNA damage with its nuclear activities being less well defined. Although mutations in human TREX1 have been linked to autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, the mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of these diseases remain incompletely understood. Here, using mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation assays and in vivo overexpression models, we show that TREX1 interacts with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), a nuclear enzyme involved in the DNA damage response. Two zinc finger domains at the amino terminus of PARP1 were required for the interaction with TREX1 that occurs after nuclear translocation of TREX1 in response to DNA damage. Functional studies suggested that TREX1 may contribute to stabilization of PARP1 levels in the DNA damage response and its activity. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms of single-stranded DNA repair following DNA damage and alterations induced by gene mutations. 相似文献

It is important to understand the mechanisms that control muscle precursor cell (MPC) proliferation for the development of countermeasures to offset the deleterious effects of the aging-related loss of skeletal muscle mass (and myonuclei) and the impaired ability of old muscle to regrow and regenerate. Over-expression of the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Sirt1 increased MPC proliferation and cell cycle progression as evidenced by increased 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation, an increase in cell number, proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression, and the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein. Associated with the Sirt1-mediated increase in MPC cycle progression were the bidirectional decreases and increases in the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21(Waf/Cip1) and p27(Kip1), respectively. Based upon our recent observation that lowering oxygen (O2) in culture from ambient (20%) to estimated physiological levels (5%) increased MPC proliferation, we next measured Sirt1 protein at 5% and 20% O2. Interestingly, in addition to increased proliferation in MPCs cultured at 5% O2, Sirt1 expression increased, compared to 20% O2. Using O2 levels as a platform to modulate basal Sirt1 protein, activation of Sirt1 activity with resveratrol in 20% O2 increased MPC proliferation while inhibition of Sirt1 with nicotinamide in 5% O2 lowered proliferation. For the first time, Sirt1 has been shown to increase MPC proliferation. These findings could have clinical significance since MPC proliferation has important implications in regulating skeletal muscle growth, maintenance, and repair, and the aging-related loss of skeletal muscle mass. 相似文献

Aggrecan is a critical component of the extracellular matrix of all cartilages. One of the early hallmarks of osteoarthritis (OA) is the loss of aggrecan from articular cartilage followed by degeneration of the tissue. Mesenchymal progenitor cell (MPC) populations in joints, including those in the synovium, have been hypothesized to play a role in the maintenance and/or repair of cartilage, however, the mechanism by which this may occur is unknown. In the current study, we have uncovered that aggrecan is secreted by synovial MPCs from healthy joints yet accumulates inside synovial MPCs within OA joints. Using human synovial biopsies and a rat model of OA, we established that this observation in aggrecan metabolism also occurs in vivo. Moreover, the loss of the “anti-proteinase” molecule alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M) inhibits aggrecan secretion in OA synovial MPCs, whereas overexpressing A2M rescues the normal secretion of aggrecan. Using mice models of OA and cartilage repair, we have demonstrated that intra-articular injection of aggrecan into OA joints inhibits cartilage degeneration and stimulates cartilage repair respectively. Furthermore, when synovial MPCs overexpressing aggrecan were transplanted into injured joints, increased cartilage regeneration was observed vs. wild-type MPCs or MPCs with diminished aggrecan expression. Overall, these results suggest that aggrecan secreted from joint-associated MPCs may play a role in tissue homeostasis and repair of synovial joints.Subject terms: Mesenchymal stem cells, Cartilage, Experimental models of disease 相似文献

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of chronic interstitial pneumonia limited to the lung and characterized by a fibroproliferative response with only minor signs of inflammation, which almost always causes rapid fibrotic destruction of the lung. In this study, we investigated genomic instability in IPF, using microsatellite DNA analysis, aiming to detect any specific genetic alterations for this disease. We used 40 highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers, in multiplex PCR assays, to examine 52 sputum specimens from IPF patients versus correspondent venous blood. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was found in 20 (38.5%) patients in at least one locus. These alterations were found on markers previously associated with lung cancer located on 1p34.3, 3p21.32-p21.1, 5q32-q33.1, 9p21 and 17p13.1 where MYCL1, FHIT, SPARC, p16Ink4 and TP53 genes have been mapped respectively. These data provide new insights into IPF pathogenesis and a new perspective for its correlation with lung cancer. 相似文献

The BRCA1 associated C-terminal helicase (BACH1) associated with breast cancer has been implicated in double strand break (DSB) repair. More recently, BACH1 (FANCJ) has been genetically linked to the chromosomal instability disorder Fanconi Anemia (FA). Understanding the roles of BACH1 in cellular DNA metabolism and how BACH1 dysfunction leads to tumorigenesis requires a comprehensive investigation of its catalytic mechanism and molecular functions in DNA repair. In this study, we have determined that BACH1 helicase contacts with both the translocating and the non-translocating strands of the duplex are critical for its ability to track along the sugar phosphate backbone and unwind dsDNA. An increased motor ATPase of a BACH1 helicase domain variant (M299I) enabled the helicase to unwind the backbone-modified DNA substrate in a more proficient manner. Alternatively, increasing the length of the 5′ tail of the DNA substrate allowed BACH1 to overcome the backbone discontinuity, suggesting that BACH1 loading mechanism is critical for its ability to unwind damaged DNA molecules. 相似文献

Background
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating interstitial pneumonia causing a loss of respiratory surface area due to a proliferative fibrotic response involving hyperplastic, hypertrophic, and metaplastic epithelium, cystic honeycomb change, septal expansion, and variable inflammation. Wnt (wingless) signaling glycoproteins are known to be involved in lung development and tissue repair, and are up-regulated in patients with IPF. Based on previous qRT-PCR data showing increased Wnt7B in lungs of IPF patients, a systematic, quantitative examination of its tissue site distribution was undertaken.Methods
Tissue samples from the Lung Tissue Research Consortium (LTRC) of 39 patients diagnosed with mild to severe IPF/usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and 19 normal patients were examined for the immunolocalization of Wnt7B.Results
In normal lung, moderate Wnt7B reactivity was confined to airway epithelium, smooth muscle of airways and vasculature, and macrophages. IPF lung showed strong Wnt7B reactivity in fibroblastic foci, dysplastic airway and alveolar epithelium, and in highly discrete subepithelial, basement membrane-associated regions. All reactive sites were sized and counted relative to specific microscopic regions. Those in the subepithelial sites were found in significantly greater numbers and larger relative area compared with the others. No reactive sites were present in normal patient controls.Conclusions
The results demonstrate Wnt7B to be expressed at high concentrations in regions of active hyperplasia, metaplasia, and fibrotic change in IPF patients. In this context and its previously established biologic activities, Wnt7B would be expected to be of potential importance in the pathogenesis of IPF. 相似文献11.

The multilineage differentiation potential of adult tissue-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), such as those from bone marrow and trabecular bone, makes them a useful model to investigate mechanisms regulating tissue development and regeneration, such as cartilage. Treatment with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily members is a key requirement for the in vitro chondrogenic differentiation of MPCs. Intracellular signaling cascades, particularly those involving the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, p38, ERK-1, and JNK, have been shown to be activated by TGF-betas in promoting cartilage-specific gene expression. MPC chondrogenesis in vitro also requires high cell seeding density, reminiscent of the cellular condensation requirements for embryonic mesenchymal chondrogenesis, suggesting common chondro-regulatory mechanisms. Prompted by recent findings of the crucial role of the cell adhesion protein, N-cadherin, and Wnt signaling in condensation and chondrogenesis, we have examined here their involvement, as well as MAP kinase signaling, in TGF-beta1-induced chondrogenesis of trabecular bone-derived MPCs. Our results showed that TGF-beta1 treatment initiates and maintains chondrogenesis of MPCs through the differential chondro-stimulatory activities of p38, ERK-1, and to a lesser extent, JNK. This regulation of MPC chondrogenic differentiation by the MAP kinases involves the modulation of N-cadherin expression levels, thereby likely controlling condensation-like cell-cell interaction and progression to chondrogenic differentiation, by the sequential up-regulation and progressive down-regulation of N-cadherin. TGF-beta1-mediated MAP kinase activation also controls WNT-7A gene expression and Wnt-mediated signaling through the intracellular beta-catenin-TCF pathway, which likely regulates N-cadherin expression and subsequent N-cadherin-mediated cell-adhesion complexes during the early steps of MPC chondrogenesis. 相似文献

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and highly lethal fibrotic lung disease with poor treatment and unknown etiology. Emerging evidence suggests that epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) has an important role in repair and scar formation following epithelial injury during pulmonary fibrosis. Although some miRNAs have been shown to be dysregulated in the pathophysiological processes of IPF, limited studies have payed attention on the participation of miRNAs in EMT in lung fibrosis. In our study, we identified and constructed a regulation network of differentially expressed IPF miRNAs and EMT genes. Additionally, we found the downregulation of miR-26a in mice with experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Further studies showed that miR-26a regulated HMGA2, which is a key factor in the process of EMT and had the maximum number of regulating miRNAs in the regulation network. More importantly, inhibition of miR-26a resulted in lung epithelial cells transforming into myofibroblasts in vitro and in vivo, whereas forced expression of miR-26a alleviated TGF-β1- and BLM-induced EMT in A549 cells and in mice, respectively. Taken together, our study deciphered the essential role of miR-26a in the pathogenesis of EMT in pulmonary fibrosis, and suggests that miR-26a may be a potential therapeutic target for IPF. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that human O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a DNA repair protein that protects the genome against mutagens and accords tumor resistance to many anticancer alkylating agents, may have other roles besides repair. Therefore, we isolated MGMT-interacting proteins from extracts of HT29 human colon cancer cells using affinity chromatography on MGMT-Sepharose. Specific proteins bound to this column were identified by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and/or Western blotting. These procedures identified >60 MGMT-interacting proteins with diverse functions including those involved in DNA replication and repair (MCM2, PCNA, ORC1, DNA polymerase delta, MSH-2, and DNA-dependent protein kinase), cell cycle progression (CDK1, cyclin B, CDK2, CDC7, CDC10, 14-3-3 protein, and p21(waf1/cip1)), RNA processing and translation (poly(A)-binding protein, nucleolin, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins, A2/B1, and elongation factor-1alpha), several histones (H4, H3.4, and H2A.1), and topoisomerase I. The heat shock proteins, HSP-90alpha and beta, also bound strongly with MGMT. The DNA repair activity of MGMT was greatly enhanced in the presence of interacting proteins or histones. These data, for the first time, suggest that human MGMT is likely to have additional functions, possibly, in sensing and integrating the DNA damage/repair-related signals with replication, cell cycle progression, and genomic stability. 相似文献

To go or not to go: Migration of human mesenchymal progenitor cells stimulated by isoforms of PDGF 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The recruitment of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) and their subsequent differentiation to osteoblasts is mandatory for bone development, remodeling, and repair. To study the possible involvement of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms, primary human MPCs and osteogenic differentiated progenitor cells (dOB) were examined for chemotaxic response to homodimeric human platelet-derived growth factor AA, -BB, and heterodimeric PDGF-AB. The role of PDGF receptors was addressed by preincubation with PDGF receptor alpha and beta chain specific antibodies. Migration of MPCs, dOB, and primary osteoblasts (OB) was stimulated by the addition of rhPDGF-AA, rhPDGF-BB, and rhPDGF-AB. The effect was highest in MPCs and for rhPDGF-BB, and declining with osteogenic differentiation. Preincubation with the receptor alpha specific antibody decreased the CI to borderline values while pretreatment with the receptor beta specific antibody led to a complete loss of chemotactic response to PDGF isoforms. In control experiments, basal migration values and rhBMP-2 as well as rxBMP-4 induced chemotaxis of MPC were not influenced by the addition of receptor alpha or beta antibodies. Interestingly, without preincubation the parallel exposure of MPC to rhTGF-beta1 instantaneously leads to a selective loss of migratory stimulation by rhPDGF-AA. The chemotactic effect of PDGF isoforms for primary human MPCs and the influence of osteogenic differentiation suggest a functional role for recruitment of MPCs during bone development and remodeling. Moreover, these observations may be useful for novel approaches towards guided tissue regeneration or tissue engineering of bone. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an intracellular enzyme involved in DNA repair and in building poly-ADP-ribose polymers on nuclear proteins using NAD+. While the majority of PARP resides in the nucleus, several studies indicated that PARP may also be located in the cytosol or in the mitochondrial matrix. In this study we found several poly-ADP-ribosylated proteins in isolated rat liver mitochondria following hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or nitric oxide donor treatment. Protein poly-ADP-ribosylation was more intense in isolated mitochondria than in whole tissue homogenates and it was not associated with increased nuclear PARP activity. We identified five poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) positive mitochondrial bands by protein mass fingerprinting. All of the identified enzymes exhibited decreased activity or decreased levels following oxidative or nitrosative stress. One of the identified proteins is dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLDH), a component of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH) complex, which uses NAD+ as a substrate. This raised the possibility that KGDH may have a PARP-like enzymatic activity. The intrinsic PARP activity of KGDH and DLDH was confirmed using a colorimetric PARP assay kit and by the incubation of the recombinant enzymes with H2O2. The KGDH enzyme may, therefore, have a novel function as a PARP-like enzyme, which may play a role in regulating intramitochondrial NAD+ and poly(ADP-ribose) homeostasis, with possible roles in physiology and pathophysiology. 相似文献
