Nod1, a CARD protein,enhances pro-interleukin-1beta processing through the interaction with pro-caspase-1

The production of bioactive interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is mediated by activated caspase-1. One of the known molecular mechanisms underlying pro-caspase-1 processing and activation involves interaction between the caspase recruit domains (CARDs) of caspase-1 and a serine/threonine kinase RIP2. While the association of Nod1 with both caspase-1 and RIP2 is already known, the consequences of these interactions are poorly understood. Because Nod1 also binds to RIP2, we hypothesized that Nod1 plays a role in pro-caspase-1 activation and IL-1beta processing. We show here that Nod1 binds to both RIP2 and caspase-1 by CARD interactions. Nod1 enhances pro-caspase-1 oligomerization and pro-caspase-1 processing. Nod1 enhances caspase-1-induced IL-1beta secretion, as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-1beta secretion in transfected cells. Moreover, HT1080 cells stably transfected with Nod1 showed higher LPS-induced IL-1beta secretion than non-transfected cells, suggesting a role of Nod1 in LPS-induced responses. Our data indicate that Nod1 can regulate IL-1beta secretion, implying that Nod1 may play a role in inflammatory responses to bacterial LPS.     

An interluekin 1B allele, which correlates with a high secretor phenotype, is associated with diabetic nephropathy

Induction of interleukin 1 activates vascular endothelial and kidney mesangial cells, and increases production of type IV (basement membrane) collagen. Hence, genes within the interleukin 1 gene cluster are potential candidates in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. In a previously validated case-control study from Northern Ireland, consisting of 95 patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes and nephropathy (cases) and 96 patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes without nephropathy (controls), the authors performed PCR-based genotyping of specific DNA polymorphisms within the interleukin 1A, interleukin 1B, interleukin 1 (type 1) receptor and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist genes. The groups were matched for age at onset and duration of diabetes. A statistically significant increase was found in the allele frequency of the interleukin 1B*2 allele in cases compared to controls (chi2=7. 19, df.=1; P=0.007, Pcorr=0.028). The results of this study suggest that the interleukin 1B*2 allele, or a susceptibility factor in linkage disequilibrium with this allele, is associated with diabetic nephropathy in the Northern Ireland population.     

Interaction of myelin basic protein, melittin and bovine serum albumin with gangliosides, sulphatide and neutral glycosphingolipids in mixed monolayers

Some parameters that may regulate the miscibility and stability of mixed lipid-protein monolayers at the air-145 mM NaCl interface were studied employing six glycosphingolipids (acidic or neutral), three different types of proteins (soluble, extrinsic or highly amphipathic) and some phospholipids. The results obtained show that the percentage of the total area occupied by the protein at the interface is an important parameter leading to lateral phase separations; the amount and area contribution of the protein accepted in the film before the components become immiscible increase with the complexity of the polar head group of the glycosphingolipids. The interactions occur with progressive reductions of the intermolecular packing as the polar head group of the glycosphingolipid becomes more complex and this is accompanied by more negative values of the excess free energy of mixing. The lipid component seems to be the major responsible for the reduction in mean molecular area.     

Interaction of the Bioactive Flavonol,Icariin, with the Essential Human Solute Carrier Transporters

Solute carrier transporters (SLCs), in particular the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) and organic anion/cation transporters (OATs/OCTs), are responsible for the cellular entry of many clinically important drugs in body. They largely influence drug safety and efficacy. Icariin is a flavonol widely present in many herbal preparations, which is used to improve sexual function and prevent osteogenesis. However, precautions are necessary in therapies containing icariin due to its involvement in drug–drug/herb interactions, possibly mediated through competing drug uptake via membrane‐transporter proteins. This study is the first to comprehensively evaluate the interactions between icariin and a range of essential SLCs. Our data demonstrated that icariin can significantly inhibit OATP1B3‐ and OATP2B1‐mediated cellular uptake of specific substrates (IC₅₀ of 3.0 ± 1.3 and 6.4 ± 1.9 μM, respectively). Our study revealed that icariin can potentially compete with coadministrated drugs for particular SLCs, which may impact the therapeutic outcome of regimens.     

FLCN,a novel autophagy component,interacts with GABARAP and is regulated by ULK1 phosphorylation

Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the FLCN gene and characterized by benign hair follicle tumors, pneumothorax, and renal cancer. Folliculin (FLCN), the protein product of the FLCN gene, is a poorly characterized tumor suppressor protein, currently linked to multiple cellular pathways. Autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis by removing damaged organelles and macromolecules. Although the autophagy kinase ULK1 drives autophagy, the underlying mechanisms are still being unraveled and few ULK1 substrates have been identified to date. Here, we identify that loss of FLCN moderately impairs basal autophagic flux, while re-expression of FLCN rescues autophagy. We reveal that the FLCN complex is regulated by ULK1 and elucidate 3 novel phosphorylation sites (Ser406, Ser537, and Ser542) within FLCN, which are induced by ULK1 overexpression. In addition, our findings demonstrate that FLCN interacts with a second integral component of the autophagy machinery, GABA(A) receptor-associated protein (GABARAP). The FLCN-GABARAP association is modulated by the presence of either folliculin-interacting protein (FNIP)-1 or FNIP2 and further regulated by ULK1. As observed by elevation of GABARAP, sequestome 1 (SQSTM1) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (MAP1LC3B) in chromophobe and clear cell tumors from a BHD patient, we found that autophagy is impaired in BHD-associated renal tumors. Consequently, this work reveals a novel facet of autophagy regulation by ULK1 and substantially contributes to our understanding of FLCN function by linking it directly to autophagy through GABARAP and ULK1.

Long noncoding RNA LEF1-AS1 binds with HNRNPL to boost the proliferation,migration, and invasion in osteosarcoma by enhancing the mRNA stability of LEF1

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent type of cancer that starts in the bones, with a rather high tendency to metastasize to other bones at the early stages. Although many types of research have demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs commonly take part in the development of various cancers, the modulating mechanism of LEF1-AS1 in OS was unknown yet. In this study, our results disclosed that LEF1-AS1, as well as LEF1, had higher expression levels in OS cells than that in normal bone cells. LEF1-AS1 knockdown dramatically inhibited the proliferation, migration, as well as invasion in OS, which proved that LEF1-AS1 contributed to the growth of OS. Furthermore, HNRNPL knockdown suppressed the expression of LEF1. LEF1-AS1 was confirmed to sponge HNRNPL and HNRNPL could bind with LEF1. Both LEF1-AS1 and HNRNPL could enhance the stability of LEF1 mRNA. LEF1-AS1 acted as a promoter in stimulating the Wnt signaling pathway in OS. In rescue experiments, overexpression of LEF1 partially offset the inhibition LEF1-AS1 knockdown brought in the proliferation, migration as well as invasion of OS cells. Collectively, this study had investigated that LEF1-AS1 bound with HNRNPL to promote OS cell proliferation, migration as well as invasion by enhancing the messenger RNA stability of LEF1.

Anemia of inflammation in patients with colorectal cancer: Correlation with interleukin-1, interleukin-33 and galectin-1

BackgroundPatients with colorectal cancer (CRC) have anemia often present as a consequence of chronic bleeding from tumor. The exact role of lL-33, Galectin-l and IL-l in the pathological genesis of anemia in colorectal cancer patients has not been elucidated yet. The main goal of this research was to analyze Gal-l, IL-l and lL-33 systemic values in anemic and non-anemic CRC patients.MethodsConcentrations of IL-33, Galectin-1 and IL-1 have been studied in blood samples of 55 CRC patients (27 without anemia and 28 with anemia).ResultsCRC patients with anemia had more severe and local advanced disease compared to CRC non-anemic patients. Anemia positively correlated with higher nuclear grade, lymph and blood vessel invasion, as well as with higher TNM stage, detectable metastatic lesions in lung and liver and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Significantly higher IL-33, Gal-1 and IL-1 concentration have been found in sera of patients with CRC and detected anemia. CRC patients mostly had microcytic anemia, while ferritin values were in normal range. Analysis revealed positive mutual correlation between serum values of galectin-1, IL-1 and IL-33 in CRC patients. Level of hemoglobin negatively correlated with serum IL-33, Gal-1 and IL-1. We have analyzed the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of serum IL-33, Gal-1 and IL-1 showed that these cytokines can be treated as additional markers for anemia of inflammation in CRC patients.ConclusionsPredomination of Galectin-1, IL-1 and IL-33 in anemic CRC patients implicates on their potential role in anemia genesis and further development.
