1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) exerts antiproliferative effects via cell cycle regulation in a variety of tumor cells, including prostate. We have previously shown that in the human prostate cancer cell line LN-CaP, 1,25-(OH)2D3 mediates an increase in cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 levels, inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) activity, hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein, and accumulation of cells in G1. In this study, we investigated the mechanism whereby 1,25-(OH)2D3 increases p27 levels. 1,25-(OH)2D3 had no effect on p27 mRNA levels or on the regulation of a 3.5-kb fragment of the p27 promoter. The rate of p27 protein synthesis was not affected by 1,25-(OH)2D3 as measured by luciferase activity driven by the 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions of p27 that regulate p27 protein synthesis. Pulse-chase analysis of 35S-labeled p27 revealed an increased p27 protein half-life with 1,25-(OH)2D3 treatment. Because Cdk2-mediated phosphorylation of p27 at Thr187 targets p27 for Skp2-mediated degradation, we examined the phosphorylation status of p27 in 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated cells. 1,25-(OH)2D3 decreased levels of Thr187 phosphorylated p27, consistent with inhibition of Thr187 phosphorylation-dependent p27 degradation. In addition, 1,25-(OH)2D3 reduced Skp2 protein levels in LNCaP cells. Cdk2 is activated in the nucleus by Cdk-activating kinase through Thr160 phosphorylation and by cdc25A phosphatase via Thr14 and Tyr15 dephosphorylation. Interestingly, 1,25-(OH)2D3 decreased nuclear Cdk2 levels as assessed by subcellular fractionation and confocal microscopy. Inhibition of Cdk2 by 1,25-(OH)2D3 may thus involve two mechanisms: 1) reduced nuclear Cdk2 available for cyclin binding and activation and 2) impairment of cyclin E-Cdk2-dependent p27 degradation through cytoplasmic mislocalization of Cdk2. These data suggest that Cdk2 mislocalization is central to the antiproliferative effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3. 相似文献

p27(Kip1) (p27) is a tumor suppressor whose stability is controlled by proteasome-mediated degradation, a process directed in part by cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)-mediated phosphorylation of p27 at Thr(187) and its subsequent interaction with the Skp1-Cullin-F-box protein/Skp2 (Skp2) ubiquitin ligase. The present study shows that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) arrests ovarian cancer cells in G(1) by stabilizing the p27 protein. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) initiates a chain of events by decreasing the amounts of cyclin E and cyclin E-associated CDK2 activity. As a result, p27 phosphorylation at Thr(187) and consequently the interaction with Skp2 are decreased. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) also increases p27 stability by decreasing the abundance of Skp2. It is the combined effect of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on both the CDK2-dependent phosphorylation of p27, and thus its affinity for Skp2, and Skp2 expression that dramatically increases the stability of the p27 protein. Similar to its effects in ovarian cancer cells, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) induces p27 accumulation in wild type mouse embryo fibroblasts and arrests wild type but not p27-null mouse embryo fibroblasts in G(1). Stable expression of Skp2 in OVCAR3 cells diminishes the G(1) arrest and decreases the growth response to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Taken together, the results of this study identify p27 as the key mediator of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced growth suppression in G(1) and show that the hormone achieves this by decreasing the activity of CDK2 and reducing the abundance of Skp2, which act together to degrade p27. 相似文献

We have studied mechanisms of Akt-mediated phosphorylation and regulation of cellular localization of p27. Akt phosphorylates Thr-157 in p27 and retains it in the cytosol. In cells arrested in G(1) and then synchronized to enter into S phase, Akt-mediated phosphorylation of Thr-157 p27 occurred in the cytosol during G(1) phase of the cell cycle. Both T157A and S10A p27 mutants localized in the nucleus in all phases of the cell cycle regardless of the expression of active Akt. Thr-157 phosphorylation was undetectable in S10A-p27, suggesting that Ser-10 phosphorylation is required for p27 localization in the cytosol and subsequent phosphorylation at Thr-157. Phosphorylation at Thr-157 interrupted the association of p27 with importin alpha. A T157A-p27 mutant protein exhibited higher association with importin alpha than wild-type-p27. Treatment of transfected and endogenous p27 with alkaline phosphatase rescued its association with importin alpha. Leptomycin B inhibited cytosolic Thr-157 P-p27 staining, implying that CRM1-dependent nuclear export is required for Akt-mediated Thr-157 phosphorylation. Heterokaryon shuttling assays with NIH3T3 (mouse) cells transfected with FLAG-p27 and HeLa (human) cells revealed that both wild type and T157A-p27 shuttled from NIH3T3 to HeLa cell nuclei with similar frequencies. However, S10A-p27 was found only in the NIH3T3 nuclei of NIH3T3-HeLa cell fusions. These results suggest that 1) Ser-10 phosphorylation is required for nuclear export of p27, 2) subsequent Akt-mediated phosphorylation at Thr-157 during G(1) phase corrals p27 in the cytosol, and 3) Thr-157 phosphorylation inhibits the association of p27 with importin alpha thus preventing its re-entry into the nucleus. 相似文献

Sterol 27-hydroxylase acts on 7-ketocholesterol in human atherosclerotic lesions and macrophages in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Brown AJ Watts GF Burnett JR Dean RT Jessup W 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2000,275(36):27627-27633
27-Hydroxycholesterol (27OH) is the major oxysterol in human atherosclerotic lesions, followed by 7-ketocholesterol (7K). Whereas 7K probably originates nonenzymically, 27OH arises by the action of sterol 27-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450 enzyme expressed at particularly high levels in the macrophage and proposed to represent an important pathway by which macrophages eliminate excess cholesterol. We hypothesized and here show that 27-hydroxylated 7-ketocholesterol (270H-7K) is present in human lesions, probably generated by the action of sterol 27-hydroxylase on 7K. Moreover, [(3)H]27OH-7K was produced by human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDMs) supplied with [(3)H]7K but not in HMDMs from a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) shown to have a splice-junction mutation of sterol 27-hydroxylase. Whereas [(3)H]27OH-7K was predominantly secreted into the medium, [(3)H]-27OH formed from [(3)H]-cholesterol was mostly cell-associated. The majority of supplied [(3)H]7K was metabolized beyond 27OH-7K to aqueous-soluble products (apparently bile acids derived from the sterol 27-hydroxylase pathway). Metabolism to aqueous-soluble products was ablated by a sterol 27-hydroxylase inhibitor and absent in CTX cells. Sterol 27-hydroxylase therefore appears to represent an important pathway by which macrophages eliminate not only cholesterol but also oxysterols such as 7K. The fact that 7K (and cholesterol) still accumulates in lesions and foam cells indicates that this pathway may be perturbed in atherosclerosis and affords a new opportunity for the development of therapeutic strategies to regress atherosclerotic lesions. 相似文献

Post-translational modifications of histones play key roles in the regulation of gene expression and chromatin structure in eukaryotes. Methylation of histone 3 on lysine 27 (H3K27) is one of the most common and well-studied histone post-translational modifications. The vast majority of research on this histone residue, however, has focused on the trimethylated form (H3K27me3). Despite occurring at higher levels than H3K27me3 in animals and plants, the monomethylated form of H3K27 (H3K27me1) remains relatively poorly characterized. The absence of information concerning H3K27me1 is due in large part to the fact that the enzymes catalyzing this epigenetic mark were only recently identified. In this article, we highlight new findings concerning H3K27me1, including the identification of two plant-specific H3K27 monomethyltransferases that are required for gene silencing and heterochromatin condensation. We also discuss the emerging similarities and differences in H3K27 methylation in plant and animal systems. 相似文献

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an allohexaploid that was formed via two allopolyploidization events. Growing evidence suggests histone modifications are involved in the response to ‘genomic shock’ and environmental adaptation during polyploid formation and evolution. However, the role of histone modifications, especially histone H3 lysine-27 dimethylation (H3K27me2), in genome evolution remains elusive. Here we analyzed H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 profiles in hexaploid wheat and its tetraploid and diploid relatives. Although H3K27me3 levels were relatively stable among wheat species with different ploidy levels, H3K27me2 intensities increased concurrent with increased ploidy levels, and H3K27me2 peaks were colocalized with massively amplified DTC transposons (CACTA family) in euchromatin, which may silence euchromatic transposons to maintain genome stability during polyploid wheat evolution. Consistently, the distribution of H3K27me2 is mutually exclusive with another repressive histone mark, H3K9me2, that mainly silences transposons in heterochromatic regions. Remarkably, the regions with low H3K27me2 levels (named H3K27me2 valleys) were associated with the formation of DNA double-strand breaks in genomes of wheat, maize (Zea mays) and Arabidopsis. Our results provide a comprehensive view of H3K27me2 and H3K27me3 distributions during wheat evolution, which support roles for H3K27me2 in silencing euchromatic transposons to maintain genome stability and in modifying genetic recombination landscapes. These genomic insights may empower breeding improvement of crops. 相似文献

Akt-dependent phosphorylation of p27Kip1 promotes binding to 14-3-3 and cytoplasmic localization 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
In many human cancers, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) is expressed at low or undetectable levels. The decreased p27(Kip1) expression allows cyclin-dependent kinase activity to cause cells to enter into S phase and correlates with poor patient survival. Inhibition of serine/threonine kinase Akt signaling by some pharmacological agents or by PTEN induces G(1) arrest, in part by up-regulating p27(Kip1). However, the role of Akt-dependent phosphorylation in p27(Kip1) regulation is not clear. Here, we show that Akt bound directly to and phosphorylated p27(Kip1). Screening p27(Kip1) phosphorylation sites identified the COOH-terminal Thr(198) residue as a novel site. Further analysis revealed that 14-3-3 proteins bound to p27(Kip1) through Thr(198) only when it was phosphorylated by Akt. Although Akt also phosphorylated p27(Kip1) at Ser(10) and Thr(187), these two sites were not involved in the binding to 14-3-3 proteins. p27(Kip1) phosphorylated at Thr(198) exists only in the cytoplasm. Therefore, Akt promotes cell-cycle progression through the mechanisms of phosphorylation-dependent 14-3-3 binding to p27(Kip1) and cytoplasmic localization. 相似文献

We analysed the distribution of histone H3 modifications in the nucleus of the vegetative cell (the vegetative nucleus) during pollen development in lily (Lilium longiflorum). Among the modifications specifically and/or abundantly present in the vegetative nucleus, dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2) and lysine 27 (H3K27me2) were found in heterochromatin, whereas trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) was localized in euchromatin in the vegetative nucleus. Such unique localization of the histone H3 methylation marks, particularly of H3K27me3, within a nucleus was not observed in lily nuclei other than the vegetative nucleus. The level of H3K27me3 increased in the euchromatic region of the vegetative nucleus during pollen maturation. The results suggest that H3K27me3 controls the gene expression of the vegetative cell during pollen maturation. 相似文献

Our studies examined the effects of p27(kip1) and p21(cip1) on the assembly and activity of cyclin D3-cdk4 complexes and determined the composition of the cyclin D3 pool in cells containing and lacking these cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. We found that catalytically active cyclin D3-cdk4 complexes were present in fibroblasts derived from p27(kip1)-p21(cip1)-null mice and that immunodepletion of extracts of wild-type cells with antibody to p27(kip1) and/or p21(cip1) removed cyclin D3 protein but not cyclin D3-associated activity. Similar results were observed in experiments assaying cyclin D1-cdk4 activity. Data obtained using mixed cell extracts demonstrated that p27(kip1) interacted with cyclin D3-cdk4 complexes in vitro and that this interaction was paralleled by a loss of cyclin D3-cdk4 activity. In p27(kip1)-p21(cip1)-deficient cells, the cyclin D3 pool consisted primarily of cyclin D3 monomers, whereas in wild-type cells, the majority of cyclin D3 molecules were complexed to cdk4 and either p27(kip1) or p21(cip1) or were monomeric. We conclude that neither p27(kip1) nor p21(cip1) is required for the formation of cyclin D3-cdk4 complexes and that cyclin D3-cdk4 complexes containing p27(kip1) or p21(cip1) are inactive. We suggest that only a minor portion of the total cyclin D3 pool accounts for all of the cyclin D3-cdk4 activity in the cell regardless of whether the cell contains p27(kip1) and p21(cip1). 相似文献

There is accumulating evidence that the complement activation product, C5a, can orchestrate cellular immune functions. IL-27(p28/EBI3) is an emerging key player essential for regulating inflammatory responses and T cells. In this article, we report that C5a robustly suppressed IL-27(p28) gene expression and release in peritoneal macrophages. These cells from C57BL/6J mice abundantly produced IL-27(p28) after engagement of either the TLR3 (polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid) or TLR4 (LPS) receptor. Genetic deficiency of either TLR4 or LBP completely incapacitated the ability of macrophages to secrete IL-27(p28) in response to LPS. IL-27(p28)-producing macrophages also expressed the C5aR receptor, thus displaying an IL-27(p28)(+)F4/80(+)C5aR(+) phenotype. C5a suppressed IL-27(p28) in LPS-stimulated macrophages via interactions with the C5aR receptor rather than the C5L2 receptor. After endotoxemia, C5aR(-/-) mice displayed higher plasma levels of IL-27(p28) compared with C57BL/6J mice. C5a did not affect the release of IL-27(p28) or the frequency of IL-27(p28)(+)F4/80(+) macrophages after engagement of TLR3. Mechanistically, LPS activated both the NF-κB and the PI3K/Akt pathways, whereas C5a activated only the PI3K/Akt pathway. Engagement of PI3K/Akt was inhibitory for IL-27(p28) production, because PI3K/Akt pharmacologic blockade resulted in increased amounts of IL-27(p28) and reversed the suppressive effects of C5a. Blockade of PI3K/Akt in endotoxemic C57BL/6J mice resulted in higher generation of IL-27(p28). In contrast, the PI3K/Akt pathway was not involved in TLR3-mediated release of IL-27(p28). These data provide new evidence about how complement activation may selectively interfere with production of T cell regulatory cytokines by APCs in the varying contexts of either bacterial (TLR4 pathway) or viral (TLR3 pathway) infection. 相似文献

In an attempt to resolve conflicting reports in the literature, the effects of 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4'-hexa- and 2, 2', 3', 4, 4', 5-hexachlorobiphenyl on the hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes were evaluated in the immature male rat. By comparison with the effects of the classical enzyme inducers, phenobarbitone (PB) and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4'-hexachlorobiphenyl, irrespective of its synthetic route, exhibited PB- and MC-type characteristics; the most prominent feature of the latter being a seven-fold increase in 4-chlorobiphenyl hydroxylase activity. 2, 2', 3', 4, 4', 5-Hexachlorobiphenyl also resembled a mixed (PB + MC)-type inducer although its MC-type characteristics were more pronounced than those of 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4'-hexachlorobiphenyl. 相似文献

HSP27 expression regulates CCK-induced changes of the actin cytoskeleton in CHO-CCK-A cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We investigated how heat shock protein 27 (HSP27)and its phosphorylation are involved in the action of cholecystokinin(CCK) on the actin cytoskeleton by genetic manipulation of Chinesehamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with the CCK-A receptor. In these cells, as in rat acini, CCK activated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and increased the phosphorylation of HSP27. Thiseffect could be blocked with the p38 MAP kinase inhibitor SB-203580.Examination by confocal microscopy of cells stained with rhodaminephalloidin showed that CCK dose-dependently induced changes of theactin cytoskeleton, including cell shape changes, which were coincidentwith actin cytoskeleton fragmentation and formation of actin filamentpatches in the cells. To further evaluate the role of HSP27, CHO-CCK-Acells were transfected with expression vectors for either wild-type(wt) or mutant (3A, 3G, and 3D) human HSP27. Overexpression of wt-HSP27and 3D-HSP27 inhibited the effects on the actin cytoskeleton seen afterhigh-dose CCK stimulation. In contrast, overexpression ofnonphosphorylatable mutants, 3A- and 3G-HSP27, or inhibition ofphosphorylation of HSP27 by preincubation of wt-HSP27 transfected cellswith SB-203580 did not protect the actin cytoskeleton. These resultssuggest that phosphorylation of HSP27 is required to stabilize theactin cytoskeleton and to protect the cells from the effects of highconcentrations of CCK. 相似文献

Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is important for gene silencing and imprinting, (epi)genome organization and organismal development. In a prevalent model, the functional readout of H3K27me3 in mammalian cells is achieved through the H3K27me3-recognizing chromodomain harbored within the chromobox (CBX) component of canonical Polycomb repressive complex 1 (cPRC1), which induces chromatin compaction and gene repression. Here, we report that binding of H3K27me3 by a Bromo Adjacent Homology (BAH) domain harbored within BAH domain-containing protein 1 (BAHD1) is required for overall BAHD1 targeting to chromatin and for optimal repression of the H3K27me3-demarcated genes in mammalian cells. Disruption of direct interaction between BAHD1BAH and H3K27me3 by point mutagenesis leads to chromatin remodeling, notably, increased histone acetylation, at its Polycomb gene targets. Mice carrying an H3K27me3-interaction-defective mutation of Bahd1BAH causes marked embryonic lethality, showing a requirement of this pathway for normal development. Altogether, this work demonstrates an H3K27me3-initiated signaling cascade that operates through a conserved BAH ‘reader’ module within BAHD1 in mammals. 相似文献

Trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) is an epigenetic change which plays a critical role in tumor development and/or progression. However, the molecular status of H3K27me3 and its clinicopathologic/prognostic significance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have not been elucidated. In this study, the methods of Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were utilized to examine the expression of H3K27me3 protein in NPC tissues and nonneoplastic nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutpoint for H3K27me3 high expression. High expression of H3K27me3 could be observed in 127/209 (60.8%) of NPCs and in 8/50 (16.0%) normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues (P < 0.001). Further correlation analysis demonstrated that high expression of H3K27me3 was positively associated with tumor later T classification, tumor metastasis, advanced clinical stage and chemoradioresistance (P < 0.05). Moreover, high expression of H3K27me3 was closely associated with NPC patient shortened survival time as evidenced by univariate and multivariate analysis (P < 0.05). Consequently, a new clinicopathologic prognostic model with three poor prognostic factors (H3K27me3 expression, distant metastasis and treatment regimen) was constructed. The model could stratify risk significantly (low, intermediate and high) for overall survival and progression-free survival (P < 0.0001). These findings provide evidence that H3K27me3 expression, as examined by IHC, has the potential to be used as an immunomarker to predict NPC chemoradiotherapy response and patient prognosis. The combined clinicopathologic prognostic model may become a useful tool for identifying NPC patients with different clinical outcomes. 相似文献

Silencing by plant Polycomb-group genes requires dispersed trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The plant Polycomb-group (Pc-G) protein CURLY LEAF (CLF) is required to repress targets such as AGAMOUS (AG) and SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM). Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we identify AG and STM as direct targets for CLF and show that they carry a characteristic epigenetic signature of dispersed histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and localised H3K27me2 methylation. H3K27 methylation is present throughout leaf development and consistent with this, CLF is required persistently to silence AG. However, CLF is not itself an epigenetic mark as it is lost during mitosis. We suggest a model in which Pc-G proteins are recruited to localised regions of targets and then mediate dispersed H3K27me3. Analysis of transgenes carrying AG regulatory sequences confirms that H3K27me3 can spread to novel sequences in a CLF-dependent manner and further shows that H3K27me3 methylation is not sufficient for silencing of targets. We suggest that the spread of H3K27me3 contributes to the mitotic heritability of Pc-G silencing, and that the loss of silencing caused by transposon insertions at plant Pc-G targets reflects impaired spreading. 相似文献
