▼ The project aimed to provide a mechanistic understanding of the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on the differentiation of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), placental development, and subsequent pregnancy outcome.
To address this question, I first used an in vitro mouse TSC model. Morphological observations suggest that upon ER stress, TSCs lose stemness by differentiating into specialized trophoblast cell subtypes. Second, I used an in vivo Eif2s1tm1RjK mouse model that exhibits chronic ER stress.Third, I induced ER stress using a more physiological stress inducer in pre-implantation wild-type embryos for 48h in vitro, which results in a significantly smaller TE stem cell pool, and increased expression of Grp78, Atf4 and Atf6a UPR markers. The phenotype was partially rescued by addition of a chaperone to the culture medium.
In conclusion, both the in vitro and in vivo models demonstrate that ER stress perturbs differentiation of TS cells at the blastocyst stage, with consequences for placental morphogenesis and fetal development. Pilot studies using a stress-relieving chaperone indicate that therapeutic interventions may be possible.

▼ Le Réticulum endoplasmique (RE) est le premier compartiment intracellulaire traversé par les protéines sécrétées. Au sein de cet organite, les protéines acquièrent une conformation native, et subissent de nombreuses modifications post-traductionnelles telles que la N-glycosylation ou la formation de ponts disulfures. Dans certaines conditions (stress réducteurs, hypoxie, privation en glucose…) des protéines anormalement conformées s’accumulent au sein du RE ce qui conduit à l’induction de l'Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). Cette réponse va alors tout d’abord induire l’inhibition de la traduction, ce qui limite l’entrée de nouvelles protéines dans le RE. En parallèle, un programme transcriptionnel spécifique conduit à l’augmentation de l’expression de protéines impliquées dans le repliement et la dégradation des protéines accumulées dans la lumière du RE. Cette réponse adaptative intégrée est contrôlée principalement par 3 protéines transmembranaires du RE : PERK (PKR-related ER kinase), ATF6 (Activating transcription factor) et enfin IRE1 (Inositol requiring kinase 1) sur laquelle porte notre étude. Au cours de ma thèse, j’ai tout d’abord participé à une étude démontrant que l’activation des voies de signalisation dépendantes d’IRE1 contribuait à la surexpression du VEGF-A in vitro et régulait l’angiogenèse et la croissance tumorale in vivo dans un modèle de greffe orthotopique de cellules U87 dérivées de gliomes humains. Cette protéine pourrait donc constituer une cible thérapeutique potentielle. Ces résultats nous ont par conséquent amenés à identifier des modulateurs de l’activité de la protéine IRE1. Pour cela nous avons développé un test in vitro permettant d’évaluer l’étape essentielle dans l’activation de la protéine IRE1, sa dimérisation. Ce test nous a permis d’identifier un peptide capable d’interférer dans la formation des dimères de la protéine IRE1, mais aussi et de façon inattendue, d’accroître son activité endoribonucléase in vitro et in vivo. Ainsi, nous proposons que ce peptide interfacial issu du domaine kinase de la protéine IRE1 pourrait promouvoir un changement conformationnel du domaine cytosolique de la protéine entière et par conséquent, potentialiserait de façon significative son activité endoribonucléasique. Ce modulateur identifié pourrait donc représenter un nouvel outil à potentiel thérapeutique utilisable par exemple dans des maladies conformationnelles.
The endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is the first intracellular compartment encountered by secretory proteins. In this organelle proteins acquire their correct conformation and undergo many post-translational modifications such as N-glycosylation or disulphide bond formation. Under specific environmental conditions (reductive stress, hypoxia, glucose deprivation …), protein folding is perturbed and uncorrectly folded proteins accumulate in the lumen of the ER. This leads to the activation of an adaptive response named the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). The UPR consists in an attenuation of protein translation and an activation of a…

▼ Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently a significant health concern in both adults and children. NAFLD is a disease characterized by accumulation of fat in the liver (steatosis) in the absence of chronic alcohol consumption. In some individuals, steatosis progresses to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is characterized by steatosis, inflammation, apoptosis and fibrosis, and can ultimately lead to end-stage liver disease. The underlying causes of NAFLD are unclear, although recent evidence has implicated the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in both the development of steatosis and progression to NASH. Disruption of ER homeostasis or "ER
stress" has been observed in the livers and adipose tissue of humans with NAFLD and/or obesity. Downstream signaling events that arise from ER
stress include lipid biogenesis, insulin resistance, inflammation, fibrosis and apoptosis, all of which are hallmark features of NAFLD and NASH. Elevated circulating free fatty acids are a characteristic feature of humans with NAFLD and are positively correlated with disease severity. Our laboratory has demonstrated that in rodents, selective elevation of circulating free fatty acids induces ER
stress in liver and adipose tissue. In addition, ER
stress is exacerbated when the composition of fatty acids includes levels of saturated fats comparable to what is encountered in the typical western diet. We, and others, have also demonstrated that saturated fatty acids provoke ER
stress in cultured hepatocytes, pancreatic beta cells, and various other cell types. These data have led to the hypothesis that the composition of fatty acids presented to and stored within the liver is an important determinant of ER homeostasis. ER
stress is characterized by an accumulation of unfolded proteins within the lumen of the ER. Therefore, the presence of ER
stress in NAFLD implies that there is an imbalance between the protein load presented to the ER, and the ability of the ER to process, degrade and/or remove these proteins. The overall aim of this thesis was to examine how saturated fatty acids disrupt ER homeostasis in the liver. We explored in vivo hepatic protein synthesis in response to acute dietary intervention, namely using diets high saturated fat and sucrose, which promote hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in rats. We utilized the saturated fat, palmitate in controlled delivery to H4IIE liver hepatocytes in order to assess protein synthesis and components of protein degradation. Lastly, we examined the roles of calcium homeostasis and protein palmitoylation in response to palmitate treatment in H4IIE liver hepatocytes. We found that diets high in saturated fat did not affect hepatic protein synthesis in rats. In agreement with this observation, H4IIE hepatocyte treatment with palmitate did not selectively stimulate cellular protein synthesis. Provision of palmitate increased protein ubiquitination, this result was observed independent of proteasome activity or total cellular protein degradation. Lastly, we found that…

▼ The
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle of great importance. It represents the intracellular site for protein synthesis, folding, and post-translational modification. Intricately related processes that oversee the proper folding of newly synthesized polypeptides, secretion of native proteins and degradation of those species that have failed to achieve correct conformations for export, collectively govern the homeostasis of the ER. ER
stress reflects the state where there is an imbalance between the influx of polypeptides and the net efflux of proteins from the ER. This may result from an increase in the demand for protein synthesis and resulting cellular indigestion. Accumulation of mutated or unfolded proteins may also cause this phenomenon.
The human unfolded protein response (UPR) is induced by ER
stress. The UPR comprises three pathways that initiate mechanisms to overcome the ER
stress. Upon detection of
stress stimuli, various molecular chaperones and folding enzymes are induced to facilitate and accelerate protein folding. At the same time, global translational attenuation may result in decreasing the protein load into the ER. Some pathways also activate transcriptional factors to up-regulate genes involved in the
endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) and
endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) processes. Ultimately, the cell may recover from
stress, or apoptosis may be induced where the
stress is irrevocable.
Russell bodies (RB) are round eosinophilic intracellular structures that represent distended ER cisternae. They are composed of mutated immunoglobulins, and are commonly observed associated with plasma cells. RBs have been documented in neurodegenerative diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as in lymphoproliferative conditions. The accumulation of transport-incompetent proteins in the ER has been theorized as the usual cause for this morphological phenomenon. To that end, it had been suggested that RBs originate as a SOS compartment, where abnormal proteins, which cannot be secreted, but have escaped intracellular degradation, can be accumulated without blocking the normal secretory pathway. However, to date, it is not clear precisely which part of the UPR processes are involved in this phenomenon leading to the biogenesis of RB.
In order to elucidate the relationship between inflamed tissues containing RB and ER
stress, three hypotheses were addressed in this research; firstly, that ‘RB will be present in association with periodontal inflammation’, secondly that ‘the pattern of GRP-78 expression will differ based on the presence of RB’, and finally, that ‘gene expression patterns of UPR will differ based on the presence of RB’.
To address these hypotheses, chronically inflamed human periodontal tissues were used to identify and quantify RB. RB were identified microscopically and quantified in terms of RB per 1mm2 of a specimen. Histochemical techniques known to stain RB (Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), periodic-acid Schiff (PAS), and methyl green pyronin…

▼ Upon
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR) triggers cellular mechanisms to restore ER homeostasis. Aberrancies in lipid homeostasis can cause alterations in biochemical and biophysical properties of the ER membrane, which impair ER function and induce UPR signaling. The UPR is also involved in regulation of lipid metabolism and membrane biogenesis, indicating a link between ER-
stress and lipid homeostasis. In this review, we will discuss how alterations in lipid metabolism can activate the UPR, as well as how the UPR alters lipid metabolism to relieve
stress from the ER.

▼ Vision loss in glaucoma is characterized by the
stereotypical death of retinal ganglion
cells (RGCs). Ocular
hypertension is a major risk factor for glaucoma and is thought to
trigger glaucomatous neurodegeneration through injury to RGC axons.
The cellular
signaling pathway leading from ocular hypertension to
RGC degeneration, however, is
not well defined. Understanding the
molecular pathways that contribute to glaucomatous
neurodegeneration will inform the rational design of new
pharmacologic interventions.
The focus of these studies was to
identify the molecular signaling pathway(s) critical for
RGC death
in glaucoma. JNK-JUN signaling, a component of the
mitogen-activated
protein kinase (MAPK) family, is a regulator of
neurodegeneration in many different
systems. After mechanical axon
injury, an injury thought to mimic glaucomatous damage
to RGC
axons, JNK-JUN signaling has been shown to be important in RGC
death. To
determine if JNK-JUN signaling is active in RGCs after
an ocular hypertensive insult, the
expression of JUN and JNK were
tested in the DBA/2J mouse, a mouse model of ocular
hypertension.
JUN and JNK were found to be activated in a temporal and spatial
pattern
consistent with regulating glaucomatous neurodegeneration.
To assess the importance of
this pathway after an ocular
hypertensive injury, optic nerves from Jun deficient and wild
type
aged DBA/2J mice were scored for optic nerve damage. No difference
was observed
in the severity of optic nerve damage between
genotypes, with both groups having
significant axonal
degeneration. Jun deficiency did significantly protect RGC bodies
(somas) as compared to control eyes. Despite the protection to RGC
somas conferred by
Jun deficiency after ocular hypertensive
injury, Jun deficiency did not provide complete
protection to RGC
somas. Furthermore, after mechanical optic nerve crush Jun
deficiency did not protect all RGCs at extended time points after
injury. Together these
data suggest another pro-death signaling
pathway is critical for RGC somal degeneration
after axonal
injury. Another major regulator of axon injury induced RGC death
is
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, specifically its target
gene, Ddit3. JUN and DDIT3
expression were found to be
independently regulated in RGCs after axonal injury,
suggesting
each can independently control axonal injury induced RGC death. To
test the
possibility that JUN and DDIT3 together control RGC fate
after injury, Jun and Ddit3
deficient mice were generated and
subjected to optic nerve injury. Inhibiting these two
pathways
together appears to have an additive effect on RGC survival,
providing
profound/near complete protection even at extended time
points after optic nerve crush.
These results suggest JUN and
DDIT3 are independently regulated pro-death signaling
molecules in
RGCs and together control apoptotic signaling in RGCs after axonal
injury.
Preventing glaucomatous neurodegeneration will likely
require the inhibition of several
pro-death signaling pathways as
both MAPK and ER…

▼ Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
is a prevalent genetic disorder where multiple fluid-filled cysts
destroy kidney architecture, eventually requiring hemodialysis or
kidney transplant. Approximately 15% of cases of ADPKD cases are
caused by defects in TRPP2, a calcium permeable, non-selective
cation channel protein in the ER and plasma membrane. Studies by
our lab indicate that TRPP2 immunoprecipitates with ER
stress-regulated proteins Herp and HRD1. Herp is an endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) integral membrane protein involved in the
ubiquitylation and degradation of substrates by ER associated
degradation (ERAD). HRD1 functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and is
important in retrotranslocation of ERAD substrates. This study
sought to examine the interaction between TRPP2 and Herp/HRD1. Our
findings suggest that Herp cleavage affects its TRPP2 binding
affinity, but not ubiquitylation. We also confirmed that HRD1
interacts with TRPP2, and may be involved in its
ubiquitylation.

▼ Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a homeostatic
mechanism, which is utilized by cells to adapt to inter- and
intra-cellular changes. There is a burgeoning literature showing
that the human endogenous retroviral envelope glycoprotein,
Syncyin-1, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species participate
in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). I investigated the
contribution of Syncytin-1-induced ER stress in MS and its animal
model, experiment autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The
prototypic ER stress biomarker, XBP-1 spliced variant (XBP-1/S),
was increased in cerebral white matter of MS patients compared to
non-MS controls and was correlated with Syncytin-1 expression.
Syncytin-1 over-expression caused glia cytotoxicity but was
mitigated by the ROS scavenger, crocin. Treatment with crocin on
day 7 post-EAE induction ameliorated EAE disease severity in mice
by reducing EAE pathology. Herein, I demonstrate that crocin
attenuates Syncytin-1-induced ER stress in astrocytes while also
diminishing disease severity in EAE in conjunction with suppression
of neuroinflammation.

▼ Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a public health burden. Steatosis as the “first hit”, and oxidative
stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and
endoplasmic reticulum stress as the “second hits” are the main contributors of the progression of fatty liver to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Dietary polyphenols have shown promise in protecting the liver against NAFLD. The relative effectiveness and mechanisms of different polyphenols however is mostly unknown.
In this thesis HepG2 hepatocytes exposed to oleic or palmitic acid were used as a model system to explore the ability of selected polyphenols (resveratrol, quercetin, catechin, cyanidin, cyanidin-3-glucoside, berberine) from different classes to protect against molecular aspects of NAFLD and NASH. In an investigation of the “first hit” (Chapter 3), different polyphenols protected similarly against oleic acid-induced intracellular lipid accumulation, but differed in their effects on the expression of genes and proteins involved in lipogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and bioenergetics. In an investigation of “second hits” (Chapter 4), most of the polyphenols decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS), prevented the decrease in uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) mRNA, prevented the increase in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) mRNA, reversed decreases in mitochondrial biogenesis and increased expression of mitochondrial respiratory complexes and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). The anthocyanins were unique in decreasing ROS without inducing mitochondrial biogenesis or Mn-SOD mRNA expression.
In investigations with palmitic acid (Chapter 5), exposure of HepG2 cells to palmitic acid induced
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
stress evidenced by upregulated mRNA for the ER chaperones glucose-regulated protein 94 and 78 (GRP94, GRP78) and oxygen-regulated protein 150 (ORP150), cochaperone
endoplasmic reticulum-localized DnaJ homologue 4 (ERdj4), and proapoptotic CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP). A few of the polyphenols (quercetin, catechin, cyanidin) protected against these changes.
In a comparison of flavonoids with their phenolic breakdown/digestion products (Chapter 6), the polyphenols 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, protocatechuic acid, and caffeic acid protected similarly to quercetin and cyanidin against oleic and palmitic acid-induced steatosis and ROS generation. Moreover, in a short-term 1 h exposure (to limit spontaneous degradation in the medium), only breakdown/digestion products prevented an oleic acid-induced decrease of mitochondrial biogenesis.
In conclusion, different classes of dietary polyphenols were all able to protect against steatosis and ROS generation in this in vitro model of NAFLD. Part of the mechanism for some polyphenols was through effects on mitochondrial biogenesis and function, bioenergetics, and ER
stress. Phenolic breakdown/digestion products of flavonoids were shown to contribute to the protective effects of parent polyphenols.

▼ Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is abundantly expressed by odontoblasts, and transiently expressed by ameloblasts. The mutations in DSPP gene can cause dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) type II (DGI-II) and III (DGI-III), as well as dentin dysplasia (DD) type II (DD-II). To date, 42 DSPP mutations in humans have been identified. However, the molecular pathogenesis has not been determined.
We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate a Dspp-KI (knock-in) mouse model, carrying P19L mutation equivalent to the c.50C>T, p.P17L mutation in humans. Compared with wild-type control, the Dsppᴾ¹⁹ᴸ/+ and Dsppᴾ¹⁹ᴸ/ᴾ¹⁹ᴸ (mutant) mice displayed enlarged dental pulp and thinner pulp chamber roof dentin at an early stage, representing DGI-III in humans. With age, the mutant mice showed partial pulp obliteration and thickened pulp chamber floor dentin, resembling DGI-II in humans. The mutant mice also exhibited lower dentin density, defective enamel quality, and compromised dentinoenamel junction. The pathological morphology of odontoblasts and ameloblasts, and the impaired odontoblast processes were observed. Hence, the Dspp-KI mice recapitulated the dentin and enamel phenotypes in human DGI patients.
In addition, we discovered reduced DSPP mRNA and accumulated DSPP protein in the odontoblasts and ameloblasts of the mutant mice. The intracellularly accumulated DSPP retained in the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and activated unfolded protein response (UPR). A UPR branch, inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1) pathway, was highly activated in the pulp cells of the mutant mice. The activation of IRE1 specifically inhibited the synthesis of DSPP protein during the accumulation of DSPP. Thus, UPR, especially IRE1, may play a major role in DGI associated with DSPP mutations.
In summary, we generated a Dspp-KI mouse model recapitulating human DGI, and showed that UPR elicited by the DSPP mutation played a major role in DGI. Further elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis may offer insights for potential treatment plans for DGI.

▼ Background: Vascular stiffening develops with both hypertension and aging, and is a strong predictor of end-organ damage. Excessive deposition of collagen by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) can lead to decreased compliance of vessels such as the aorta. The IRE1α arm of the unfolded protein response is activated in cells with a secretory phenotype due to its role in augmenting protein folding capacity. We hypothesize that by a similar mechanism, VSMCs transitioning to a collagen-secreting phenotype in response to TGF-β1 require the activation of IRE1. Inhibition of this pathway is hypothesized to reduce collagen secretion and hence prevent the development of fibrosis in the aorta.
Methods: Collagen deposition by VSMCs in vitro was measured using immunoblotting and a Picrosirius Red-based colorimetric assay. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to assess the expression of ER stress markers. Ex vivo culture of aortic rings was also performed to determine the effect of 4µ8c on TGF-β1-induced vascular stiffening. 12-14 week old male spontaneously hypertensive rats were divided into three treatment groups: 1) No treatment, 2) L-NAME (50 mg/L), and 3) L-NAME and the IRE1α inhibitor 4µ8c (2.5 mg/kg/day i.p.). Aortic compliance after 18 days of treatment was measured ex vivo using a wire myograph to construct tension-diameter curves.
Results: Inhibition of IRE1α endonuclease activity by 4µ8c reduced collagen production in VSMCs stimulated with TGF-β1 or Ang II. A decrease in the expression of the collagen-associated chaperones PDI, GRP78 and GRP94 was observed. Aortic rings treated with TGF-β1 developed vascular stiffening, which was improved by co-treatment with 4µ8c. SHRs treated with L-NAME for 18 days developed aortic stiffening, which was prevented by daily injections of 4µ8c.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that inhibition of the IRE1α pathway can reduce vascular stiffening and fibrosis by disrupting the collagen biosynthesis pathway in VSMCs.

▼ Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which results from the aggregation of misfolded proteins in the ER, has been implicated in many forms of kidney injury, including hypertensive nephrosclerosis. ER stress induction increases levels of active TGFβ1, a pro-fibrotic cytokine, which can lead to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in renal proximal tubular cells. EMT occurs when epithelial cells undergo phenotypic changes, which can be prevented by inhibiting ER stress. Further, the ER stress protein TDAG51 is essential for the development of TGFβ1-mediated fibrosis. The low molecular weight chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) can protect against ER stress-mediated kidney injury. It acts directly on the kidney, and can prevent ER stress, renal tubular damage, and acute tubular necrosis. In a tunicamycin-mediated model of kidney injury, this damage is prevented primarily through repression of the pro-apoptotic ER stress protein CHOP. Along with providing renoprotective effects, 4-PBA can inhibit endothelial dysfunction and elevated blood pressure in a rat model of essential hypertension. In addition to lowering blood pressure, 4-PBA reduces contractility, augments endothelial-dependent vasodilation, and normalizes media-to-lumen ratio in mesenteric arteries from spontaneously hypertensive rats. Further, ER stress leads to reactive oxygen species generation, which is reduced with 4-PBA. Dahl salt-sensitive rats given 4-PBA are protected from hypertension, proteinuria, albuminuria, and renal pathology. Rats provided with vasodilatory medications demonstrate that lowering blood pressure alone is not renoprotective. In fact, endothelial dysfunction, as demonstrated by an impaired myogenic response, is culpable in the breakdown of the glomerular filtration barrier and subsequent renal damage. As such, alleviating ER stress using 4-PBA serves as a viable therapeutic strategy to preserve renal function and prevent ER stress-mediated endothelial dysfunction, renal fibrosis, glomerular filtration barrier destruction, and progression of hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Chronic kidney disease is characterized by progressive loss of kidney function, and is a major public health problem. Kidney cells make proteins that help the kidney function properly. However, if the proteins are made improperly, the kidney does not function as well. This can lead to poor filtration and protein in the urine, damage to important kidney structures, and kidney scarring. High blood pressure, a risk factor for kidney disease, is often accused of causing kidney damage. This thesis shows that malfunctioning blood vessels can cause kidney injury, and lowering blood pressure may not prevent this. However, there are pharmacological molecules that can protect the kidney from damage. These molecules help the cells make proteins properly, preventing blood vessel malfunction and kidney damage. Our findings suggest that helping blood vessels and kidney cells create properly functioning proteins is more…

▼ Cultured soft coral Sinularia sandensis has led to the isolation of elenven natural compounds, including two new cembranoids, 4-carbomethoxyl-10-epigyrosanoldie E (1) and 7-acetylsinumaximol B (2); four known cembranoids, sinumaximol B (3), sinulacembranolide A (4), pukalide (5) and 10-epigyrosanolide E (6); two known furanosesquiterpene compounds, methyl (1â²E, 5â²E)-5-(2â²,6â²-dimethylocta-1â²,5â²,7â²-trienyl) furan-3-carboxylate (7) and (1â²E,5â²E)-5-(2â²,6â²-dimethylocta-1â²,5â²,7â²-trienyl)furan-3- carboxylic acid (8); three known steroids, 24-methylenecholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (9), 11α-acetoxy-24-methylenecholesta-3β,5α,6β-triol (10) and 11α-acetoxy-24- methylenecholesta-1α,3β,5α,6β-tetraol (11). The structures of compounds 1â11 were elucidated by means of IR, MS and NMR techniques, and the absolute configurations of 1 and 5 were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
7-Acetylsinumaximol B (2) exerted a concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effect on human gastric cancer cells NCI-N87. Activation of mitochondria-related apoptosis was associated with the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, activation of pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax and Bad) and inhibition of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1). Compound 2 triggered
endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to activation of the PERK/elF2α/ATF4/CHOP signal pathway. Compound 2 initiated autophagic apoptosis and induced the expression of autophagy-related proteins (Atg3, Atg5, Atg7, Atg12, LC3-I and LC3-II). Our results suggested that compound 2 has the potential to be developed as a useful anti-cancer drug for the treatment of human gastric cancer.
Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol (12) provided a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the invasion and migration of human renal cancer cells. The expressions of MMP-2ãMMP-9 and uPA were decreased and TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were increased. Compound 12 suppressed FAK/PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPKs (JNK/p38MAPK/ERK) signal pathway. We concluded that compound 12 has anti-invasion and anti-migration activity of human renal cancer cells 780-O and might be applied to clinical treatment for metastasis of human renal cell carcinoma.

▼ In eukaryotic cells, secreted and membrane proteins fold within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Various physiological or pathophysiological conditions can disrupt ER protein folding homeostasis and cause unfolded proteins to accumulate within the ER. Unfolded proteins activate a conserved intracellular signaling pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR) that increases the ER's protein-folding capacity in order to restore protein folding homeostasis. However, because it is infeasible to directly measure the concentration of unfolded proteins within the ER, any UPR-activated cell is generically described as experiencing "ER stress." To address this problem, I utilized an ER-targeted green fluorescent protein whose fluorescent output is responsive to its oxidation state (called eroGFP). I found that many stressors to ER protein folding homeostasis – both experimental and physiological – compromise oxidation of eroGFP in S. cerevisiae . By combining eroGFP with an additional fluorescent protein reporter to follow changes in UPR activity I was able to determine conditions in which the UPR is capable of promoting adaptation. Additionally, using high-throughput flow cytometry, I measured eroGFP oxidation in approximately 6000 yeast strains each with a deletion or hypomorphic allele of a single gene. Through this analysis, I was able to identify genes important for maintaining oxidative protein folding during normal growth conditions and during protein folding stress. The strategy of utilizing eroGFP as a proximal reporter for ER stress proved to be complimentary to UPR-based metrics to provide a more comprehensive understanding of ER protein folding. The tools and concepts developed here should be broadly applicable to other biological processes and should aid investigations of how ER stress affects human disease.

▼ Diabetes mellitus is a disease caused by a combination of insulin resistance and decline of &beta-cell function. There is a high demand on the pancreatic &beta-cell to synthesize and secrete appropriate amounts of insulin in response to glucose levels. When the protein folding demand exceeds the folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), this results in a condition known as ER stress. The cell responds to ER stress by activating an adaptive signaling pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR first tries to restore homeostasis to the cell by reducing the load of proteins to be folded as well as by increasing the folding capacity of the cell. However, if ER stress is chronic, the UPR switches from a homeostatic pathway to an apoptotic pathway. The molecular mechanisms that guide this switch from adaptation to death remain unclear. Elucidating the underlying mechanism of ER stress induced apoptosis would allow better insight for future development of drugs that could prevent cell death and treat diseases such as diabetes. By utilizing mutations in different domains of the ER stress sensor IRE1&alpha, we were able to induce expression of IRE1&alpha mutants in &beta-cells and look at effects on cell fate. By using flow cytometry and microarray analysis we found that chronic IRE1&alpha overexpression resulted in downregulation of hundreds of mRNAs that localize to the ER or secretory pathway, which we hypothesize destabilizes the ER and mediates apoptosis. We also found that IRE1&alpha overexpression alone results in apoptosis, but expression of either kinase dead or RNase dead mutants of IRE1&alpha did not result in downregulation of mRNAs nor apoptosis. These findings uncovered a novel mechanism whereby IRE1&alpha has not only a cytoprotective function, but a proapoptotic arm as well, which requires both its kinase and RNase activity. Continuing this work, we found that TXNIP is a downstream proapoptotic mediator of ER stress apoptosis induced by IRE1&alpha that promotes oxidative stress and cell death. Through these novel findings, we have gained further insight on the mechanism of ER stress mediated apoptosis and also found a convergence of the oxidative stress and ER stress pathways.

▼ Secreted and transmembrane proteins enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as unfolded, nascent polypeptides. Before they continue along the secretory pathway to their final destination, these proteins must fold into their proper structure. The ER is the primary site of quality control for these proteins; terminally misfolded proteins are degraded, while properly folded proteins are packaged into vesicles. This quality control ensures proper folding, and thus proper function, for all of the proteins that mediate cell-environment interactions. However, the mechanisms required for quality control can also cause an accumulation of unfolded proteins when environmental stresses, developmental programs, or drug treatments disrupt protein folding. Cells facing such ER stress activate a signaling pathway, the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), designed to restore protein folding homeostasis.In S. cerevisiae, the UPR is activated by the transmembrane protein, Ire1, which initiates a transcriptional program to increase the size and capacity of the ER. Ire1 consists of a stress-sensing lumenal domain that oligomerizes in response to ER stress and cytoplasmic domains that transmit signals to the nucleus and cytoplasm. Ire1 and its activation by oligomerization are conserved throughout the Metazoa. Despite the ubiquity of the UPR pathway and its relevance to human disease, the mechanism of Ire1 stress-sensing and subsequent oligomerization were largely unknown. In Chapter Two, we provide biochemical evidence that unfolded proteins are ligands for Ire1 activation by showing that Ire1 forms a complex in vivo with a model misfolded protein, binds short peptide proxies in vitro, and that peptide binding causes Ire1 oligomerization. Chapter Three extends our findings with Ire1 cLD from S. cerevisiae to the Ire1 lumenal domain from Mus musculus. Although the crystal structure of MmIre1 LD revealed a narrower binding groove, we found that MmIre1 LD can also bind peptides in vitro, but with a different binding preference than ScIre1 cLD. In Chapter Four, we crystallized the lumenal domain of the Ire1 homolog from a thermophilic yeast, Chaetomium thermophilum. This structure reveals several intriguing new interactions within the crystal lattice, which may be important for Ire1 activation.

▼ Apoptosis is a highly conserved form of programmed cell death in multicellular organisms where a cell activates caspase proteases to trigger its own demise. It has critical functions under physiological conditions in removing superfluous or damaged cells from a healthy organism. However, dysregulated apoptosis plays an important role in diseases: improper or elevated apoptosis leads to diseases of cell loss, such as diabetes or neurodegeneration, while deficiencies in apoptosis can contribute to tumor cell growth and survival.While the importance of apoptosis during late embryogenesis is well-established, its function during the earliest stages of development, namely the exit of embryonic stem cells (ESC) from the pluripotent state, is unclear. Here, I discovered that apoptosis plays a critical role in removing slow-differentiating murine ESC from the total cell population. This is initiated by p53-dependent upregulation of the Fas death receptor on straggling ESCs, which then triggers apoptosis specifically in these cells. An inability to initiate apoptosis, by transient knockdown or genetic deletion of components of this pathway, causes retention of slow-differentiating ESCs and a global delay in differentiation, both in vitro and in an in vivo teratoma model. Thus, apoptosis is crucial in promoting the efficient differentiation of ESCs.While apoptosis is important for normal development, elevated levels due to cellular stress can cause inappropriate cell loss and degeneration, leading to disease. One such example is retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease where rod photoreceptors are progressively lost from the neural retina, eventually leading to blindness. There is increasing evidence that accumulation of unfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of rod photoreceptors causes ER stress and subsequent cell death. Here, I utilize a novel small molecule inhibitor to show that inhibition of IRE1α, an ER transmembrane kinase/endoribonuclease that can signal both adaptation and apoptosis in response to ER stress, preserves rod photoreceptor viability and function in two rodent models of ER stress-induced photoreceptor degeneration.These findings reveal new insights into the role of apoptosis under both normal and stressed conditions, and may have implications for human diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

▼ This PhD thesis describes cellular responses to the induction of
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
stress, focusing on the role of autophagy and cell death. Pro-survival role of unfolded protein response (UPR) is analysed by looking at the regulation of SESN2, protein responsible for the activation of pro-survival autophagy during ER
stress. I show that two distinct arms of the UPR, IRE1 and PERK, can be involved in upregulation of SESN2. Next, the role of autophagy in the induction of cell death is examined, applying cellular models deficient in mitochondrial cell death pathway, a primary mode of cell death upon unresolved UPR. Our data shows that autophagy turns into a toxic mechanism in the absence of functional apoptotic machinery, and facilitates assembly of a novel cell death inducing complex. CASP8, a component of this complex, serves as an initiator caspase in the apoptotic cascade, providing efficient elimination of the affected cells. Finally, in this work I explore the possibility of ER
stress to induce caspase-independent mode of cell death ¿ necroptosis. Necroptosis has not been previously associated with unresolved UPR. We discovered that ER
stress-induced necroptosis depends on RIPK1, RIPK3 and TNFRSF1A. Intriguingly, TNFRSF1A was involved independently of either of its ligands, TNF or LTA. Therefore I provided a new role for TNFRSF1A in modulating ER
stress-induced cell death. Finally, we conclude that necroptosis during induction of ER
stress is executed by the same mechanism as upon TNF stimulation ¿ through MLKL-mediated plasma membrane permeabilization. This thesis provides a comprehensive overview on both pro-survival and pro-death mechanisms upon induction of ER
stress, highlighting the importance of precise evaluation of different cellular systems in order to completely understand the mechanism behind the this type of
stress response.

▼ Purpose: One of the leading causes of death reported in women worldwide is breast cancer. Manytumours, including breast cancer, associated with poor prognosis, have received a renewed focus and increased perspective with regard to drug discovery and innovation towards developing rational combination regimens of first-line anticancer drugs with novel compounds that target diverse hallmarks of the cancer phenotype. Multidrug resistance (MDR), which has been found to significantly decrease the efficacy of anticancer drugs and causes tumor recurrence, has been a major challenge in clinical cancer treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs for decades. Several mechanisms of overcoming drug resistance have been postulated and the well known P-glycoprotein (P-gp) including other drug efflux transporters are considered to be critical in pumping anticancer drugs out of cells which in turn results in unsuccessful chemotherapy treatments. The
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an interconnecting organelle which synthesizes proteins and its quality control processes ensures the proper protein folding, post-translational modifications and conformation of secretory and trans-membrane proteins. Previous studies demonstrated that geldanamycin (GA), a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, the antibiotic, tunicamycin (TM) and the sesquiterpene lactone, thapsigargin (TG) have been found to cause ER
stress and consequently, cellular arrest. GA is known to manifest anti-cancer activity through the inhibition of Hsp90-chaperone, TM interferes with N-glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins triggering the unfolded protein response, while TG inhibits intracellular Ca2+ ATPases resulting in increased cytosolic Ca2+. Cellular
stress conditions, lead to accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the
endoplasmic reticulum lumen which results in a unfolded protein response (UPR) to maintain cell survival in cancer cells. ERS has been previously reported to enhance MDR1 transcriptional induction and P-gp transport function in cancer cells, however, prolonged
endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions and inadequate unfolded protein response force cells undergo apoptosis. In this study, we examined the effects of GA, TG and TM alone and in combination to determine the cellular response of the MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell line with regard to proliferation and P-gp-mediated drug efflux activity and apoptosis. Methods: Analyses of MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells exposed to
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) inducers geldanamycin, thapsigargin and tunicamycin, alone and in combination, included growth curves alone and in the presence of 24 hour IC50 inhibitory concentrations of the 3 ERS inducers alone, dose-response curves (MTT cytotoxicity assays) of the ERS alone and in combination, analysis of P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux pump activity in the presence of the ERS inducers alone and in combination (Calcein-AM efflux assays), analysis of viability, cytotoxicity and early apoptosis via caspase-3/7 expression (Triplex assay) and morphological staining of…

▼ Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) ranks among the poorest prognoses for cancer patients, with an estimated 5-year survival of just 8%. The stagnant survival rates are a result of late detection, chemoresistance, and an aggressive tumor phenotype. Too few patients are eligible for surgery, which results in an urgent need for more effective chemotherapeutic treatment options. One promising pharmacological advancement is currently undergoing a Phase II clinical trial and has been studied by our laboratory. Triptolide is a Chinese herb, which has shown to be very effective in eliminating pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. In conjunction with the Medicinal Chemistry Department at the University of Minnesota, a prodrug of triptolide, named Minnelide™, has been synthesized. Our laboratory has since studied triptolide and Minnelide™ extensively, in order to determine the mechanisms of action. The initial study in this dissertation precipitated based on an earlier finding in the Saluja laboratory that triptolide not only downregulates heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and specificity protein 1 (SP1), but also causes chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and cell death. Our study shows that downregulating SP1, a transcription factor that is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer, activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) and results in chronic ER stress. We further show that inhibition of SP1, as well as inducing ER stress, leads to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), a sustained accumulation of cytosolic calcium, and eventually cell death in pancreatic cancer. Even though ER stress can result in cell death, it is initially a homeostatic mechanism, which aims to protect cells. This led us to ask what role acute ER stress and UPR plays in pancreatic cancer. We show that modulating glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78), the master regulator of the UPR, can have a profound effect on multiple pathways that mediate chemoresistance. Our study showed for the first time that knockdown of GRP78 can diminish efflux activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and it can decrease the antioxidant response resulting in an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We also show that these effects can be mediated by the activity of SP1. Our investigation into acute ER stress led to further studies to characterize the UPR signaling in pancreatic cancer. We show that shGRP78 dysregulates multiple transcriptomic and proteomic pathways important in cancer (proliferation, survival, fatty acid metabolism). GRP78 downregulation decreases stemness and self-renewal properties in vitro. In vivo studies demonstrate that GRP78 knockdown results in delayed tumor initiation, and decreased tumor growth. Further, downregulation of GRP78 results in fatty acid metabolism dysregulation. The last study in this dissertation focuses on the tumor microenvironment and SP1 oncogenic signaling. We evaluated the transcriptomic profiling conducted after treatment with triptolide revealed deregulation of the transforming growth…

▼ Proteasome inhibitors are widely used today as an
important tool for anti-cancer treatment, which has led to a wide
search of novel proteasome inhibitors. Proteasome inhibitors tested
in this study are analogues of glidobactin, which are a new class
of proteasome inhibitors. Similarly, these compounds effectively
inhibit the 26S proteasome activity. In this study, we investigated
the cytotoxic effect of these compounds on human multiple myeloma
(MM), human Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (BCWM1), and human
lymphocytic leukemia cells (REH). Of the four compounds we tested,
T-02 and T-04 were most potent ones and their proteasome inhibitory
effect directly correlates with their cell cytotoxicity. Induction
of mild ER
stress provides a survival benefit to cells, however
severe ER
stress is known to inhibit proliferation of cells leading
to apoptosis. Since a number of proteasome inhibitors have been
shown to trigger ER
stress induced apoptosis, we investigated
whether these novel proteasome inhibitors have this anti-cancer
efficacy. Our results suggest that it is indeed the case. We
further explored whether the combination of these compounds with
other known ER
stress inducers leads to aggravated ER
stress and
enhancement of their anti-cancer efficacy. T-02 or T-04 in
combination with thapsigargin (a known inhibitor of
sarco/
endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase) and dimethyl celecoxib
(DMC), an analogue of celecoxib demonstrate enhanced cytotoxic
effect with more severe ER
stress induction and apoptosis mediated
cell death. Taken together, our findings suggest these novel
compounds are very effective proteasome inhibitors and trigger the
ER
stress response with enhanced apoptosis mediated cell death. In
addition, in combination with other ER inducer(s), cytotoxic
effects of these compounds are highly potentiated.

▼ Dans les cellules eucaryotes, des altérations du microenvironnement cellulaire ou desmutations des protéines de la voie de sécrétion induisent un stress du RE et activent uneréponse adaptative nommée UPR. Les signaux intracellulaires associés à l’UPR sont transmisde la lumière du RE vers le noyau par trois protéines transmembranaires dont IRE1α aussiappelée ERN1. Lors d'un stress du RE, IRE1α s'oligomérise, activant ses domaines kinase etendoribonucléase desquelles découle une signalisation intracellulaire complexe. Denombreuses études reliant l'UPR au cancer désignent IRE1α comme un acteur majeur de latumorigenèse, en particulier dans la croissance et la vascularisation des glioblastomes (GBM),bien que les mécanismes précis mis en jeu restent à déterminer. Des études menées dans notrelaboratoire ont identifié deux cibles de l'activité endoribonucléase d'IRE1α (RIDD) : SPARCet PER1, comme effecteurs respectifs des effets pro-migratoire, pro-angiogénique et proprolifératifd'IRE1α dans les GBM. De plus, ces dernières années, le séquençage d'IRE1α apermis d'identifier environ cinquante mutations, dont quatre non silencieuses ont étéidentifiées dans des biopsies de GBM. L'expression de ces quatre mutations, dont A414Tidentifiée dans le laboratoire, dans les cellules U-87 MG, et l'implantation de ces cellules dansle cerveau de souris a permis de mettre en évidence le rôle pro tumoral de la mutation A414Tet le rôle anti-tumoral de la mutation P336L. A414T stabilise les oligomères d'IRE1α, suractivantles voies de signalisation en aval et conduisant à une croissance plus rapide et unevascularisation plus importante des tumeurs. Ainsi, nos travaux confirment qu'IRE1α est unrégulateur central du développement des GBM et pourrait constituer un marqueur pronostic etune cible thérapeutique des GBM.
In eukaryotic cells, alterations in the cellular microenvironment or mutations in the protein secretory pathway induce ER stress and activate an adaptive response termed UPR. The intracellular signals associated with UPR are transmitted from the ER lumen to the nucleus by three transmembrane proteins among which IRE1α also called ERN1. During ER stress, IRE1α oligomerizes, activating its kinase and endoribonuclease domains and a downstream complex intracellular signaling. Many studies linking the UPR to cancer point to IRE1α as a major player in tumorigenesis, particularly in the growth and vascularization of glioblastomas (GBM), although the precise mechanisms involved remain to be determined. Studies led in our laboratory have identified two targets of IRE1α endoribonuclease activity (RIDD): SPARC and PER1 as respective effectors of pro–angiogenic, pro-migratory and proproliferative effects of IRE1α in GBM. In addition, in recent years, IRE1α sequencing identified around fifty mutations, four of which have been identified in GBM biopsies. The expression of these four mutations, including A414T identified in the laboratory, in the U-87 MG cells, and implantation of these cells into mouse brain has highlighted the pro-tumoral role…

▼ Insulin resistance is one of the major defect of type 2 diabetes. Excess lipid and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress have been suggested to induce hepatic insulin resistance. However, the mechanisms of the development of insulin resistance relating to excess lipid or ER stress remain unclear. The aims of the thesis were to investigate: 1) the role of ER stress in lipogensis and development of hepatic insulin resistance and, 2) the relationship between ER stress and lipogenesis. The first study was to determine the contribution of ER stress and excess lipid on the onset of hepatic insulin resistance in high fructose (HFru)-fed mice. After feeding with HFru for one day, IRE1/XBP1 branch of the ER stress was activated. Simultaneously, lipogenic enzymes, transcription factor and triglyceride content in the liver increased. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylated Akt was suppressed. Blocking IRE1 activity by TUDCA abolished fructose-dependent increases in JNK activity and IRS serine phosphorylation, and improved Akt phosphorylation without altering hepatic steatosis or PKCϵ. The second study was to interrogate the role of excess lipid or JNK in hepatic insulin resistance in HFru-fed mice. Mice were fed with HFru for 2 weeks. Fenofibrate (FB), a PPARα agonist, was administrated to reduce lipid accumulation. FB treatment eliminated glucose intolerance, hepatic steatosis and insulin signaling transduction. Both IRE1/XBP1 and PEKR/eIF2α branches of ER stress were activated. FB administration increased fatty acid oxidation and reduced diacyglycerols levels. The results from these HFru studies suggested that: 1) ER stress and lipogenesis both contribute to HFru-induced hepatic insulin resistance; 2) activation of JNK rather than lipid accumulation is a key early trigger of ER stress related hepatic insulin resistance induced by HFru feeding and; 3) lipid accumulation, rather than JNK or IKK activation, is pivotal for ER stress to cause hepatic insulin resistance when the mice were challenged with HFru diet for a long time. To further explore the interaction between ER stress and lipogenesis, fructose was used to induce ER stress in cultured cells. Betulin was applied to cells treated with fructose. Lipogenic enzymes were significantly diminished by betulin. The magnified fructose-induced phosphorylation of IRE1 and eIF2α was not altered, suggesting that increasing lipogenesis does not contribute to the activation of IRE1 and PERK branches in context of fructose. In another study, mice were fed with a high fat (HFat) diet for one day or 2 weeks. Hepatic diacyglycerols were increased in HFat-fed mice. Interestingly, HFat-fed mice did not show activated ER stress. These results indicated that hepatic insulin resistance was induced via different mechanisms in the face of fatty acid influx. These observations also suggested that ER stress is unlikely to result from excess lipid. In summary, ER stress might be more critical at early stage of insulin resistance in the context of HFru feeding and this…

▼ The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic organelle that is responsible for the folding and quality control of proteins within the endomembrane system. Both physiological and pathological conditions can result in accumulation of misfolded proteins within the ER, a situation termed ER stress, which results in cell death if not alleviated. Perturbations in ER function result in activation of three ER transmembrane proteins (Ire1, Perk, and Atf6) that are primarily responsible for facilitating the unfolded protein response (UPR). Activation of the UPR initially increases ER capacity to offset the surge in misfolded protein; however, during irremediable stress, the UPR activates pro-apoptotic pathways presumably to prevent the cytotoxic consequences of secreting misfolded proteins. Ire1 is an endoribonuclease that is responsible for the unconventional splicing of an intron from the transcription factor, Xbp1. However, Ire1 is also responsible for the direct degradation of a number of mRNAs, a process termed regulated Ire1-dependent decay (RIDD). In mammals, long-term activation of Ire1 results in nonspecific cleavage of ER-localized mRNAs and subsequent cell death. However, at early time points a limited number of mRNAs are prioritized to the RIDD pathway and are degraded relatively rapidly. In the work presented here, I address the questions of (1) how specific mRNAs are prioritized for degradation? And (2) what is the function mRNA degradation during acute of ER stress? I have found that specific nucleotide sequence and structural motifs are used to target mRNAs to the RIDD pathway in both fly and mammalian cells. Furthermore, I show that inhibiting translation of these motifs is also essential for RIDD targeting. Lastly, I show Ire1-dependent effects on lysosome accumulation during ER stress; this may enhance prosurvival signaling of the UPR. These data provide insight into the mechanisms of Ire1 function as well as a model for how the RIDD pathway may function in both the prosurvival and pro-apoptotic pathways of the UPR.

▼ The first part of this dissertation assessed factors regulating the insulin sensitizing hormone adiponectin in dairy cows. Plasma adiponectin is reduced during the transition from late pregnancy (LP) to early lactation (EL) in parallel with rapid changes in the plasma concentration of metabolic hormones [i.e. insulin, leptin, and growth hormone (GH)] and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). The first study of this dissertation showed that none of these factors contribute to the regulation of plasma adiponectin. The second study tested the possibility that altered
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone expression is involved. This was motivated by the following observations: 1) Plasma adiponectin variation in transition dairy cows occurs in absence of changes in adiponectin mRNA. 2) In rodents, the master regulator of ER homeostasis x-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1) regulates adiponectin production by increasing ER chaperone expression. We showed that Xbp1 expression decreased from LP to EL in the dairy cow. Using a primary bovine adipocyte system, overexpression of Xbp1 had no effect on adiponectin, despite increasing expression of several ER chaperone proteins. The factors regulating plasma adiponectin in the transition dairy cow remain unknown.
The second part of this dissertation addressed the role of sel-1 suppressor of lin-12-like protein (Sel1l) in lipid metabolism. Sel1l is a critical component of the
endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD) system required for translocation and degradation of misfolded or aggregated proteins. Adipose-specific deletion of Sel1l in mice has implicated an ERAD-independent role for Sel1l in lipid metabolism. To this end, we generated liver-specific Sel1l knockout mice (ΔSel1lLiver) to assess whether Sel1l plays a similar role in lipid homeostasis in liver. Lipid metabolism was nearly normal in ΔSel1lLiver mice fed chow or high fat diet. ΔSel1lLiver mice on an atherogenic diet (AD) showed increased hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, liver damage, and occasional death compared to wildtype (WT) mice. This phenotype was associated with increased 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (Hmgcr) and decreased low-density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr) in liver of ΔSel1lLiver mice. Together, our results reveal a previously unknown role for Sel1l in lipid homeostasis in liver, but further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism.

▼ The steady rise in Western obesity rates has been closely linked to significant increases in a multitude of accompanying health problems including obesity, type II diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD severity ranges from simple steatosis to acute steatohepatitis, but the molecular mechanisms controlling progression of this disease are poorly understood. The liver plays a central role in whole body homeostasis and, therefore, impairments in hepatic function are detrimental to a variety of biological processes. These hepatic dysfunctions are thought to be triggered by elevated free fatty acid flux from either dietary intake or adipose tissue efflux that results in etopic deposition of fat in the liver. It is known to be accompanied by increased signaling thorough cellular
stress pathways, oxidant
stress and eventual apoptosis. This phenotype is collectively termed hepatic lipotoxicity.
Recent literature suggests that elevated free fatty acids (FFAs), especially saturated fatty acids (SFAs), play a central role in lipotoxic mechanisms, both in experimental models and in NAFLD patients. Relevant cellular processes that have been causally linked to lipotoxicity include
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
stress, oxidative
stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. In contrast, increased triglyceride synthesis has been shown to have a protective effect against lipotoxicity, despite being one of the hallmark traits of NAFLD. The overarching theme of this dissertation is designing studies to better understand how the degree of intrahepatic lipid saturation controls cell fate in response to an elevated FFA load and the mechanisms through which these fatty acids act. Our results indicate that disordered phospholipid metabolism, specifically over saturation of membrane bilayers initiates a signaling cascade which culminates in cell death. Interventions designed to prevent saturation of the phospholipids improves hepatic cell fate when in environments of saturated fatty acid overload. Developing a more nuanced understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NAFLD progression will lead to more targeted and effective therapeutics for this increasingly prevalent disease, which to date has no proven pharmacologic treatment to prevent or reverse its course.

▼ Obezite, son zamanlardaki önemli sağlık problemlemlerinden biridir. Obezitenin tip-2 diyabet riskini arttırdığı ve tip-2 diyabetteki insülin direncinin ortaya çıkışında da endoplazmik retikulum (ER) stresinin katkısının olduğu bilinmektedir. Obez bireylerde yüksek miktarlarda bulunan glutaminin insülin direncindeki rolü ile ilgili mekanizmalar yeterince anlaşılabilmiş değildir. Tez kapsamında, insülin direnci durumunda hücre içine glikoz alınamamasının getirdiği enerji ve hammadde eksikliğini gidermede glutamin kullanılıyor olabilir mi sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Glutaminin ve glutaminin taşınmasının, insülin direnci ve ER stresi ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla bu yolaklarda yer alan belirteç proteinlerin seviyeleri ve fosforilasyon düzeyleri western blot yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Farklılaşmış 3T3-L1 adipositleriyle yapılan deneylerde, artan glutamin uygulamasının insülin hassasiyetini arttırdığı ve ER stresi azalttığı gösterilmiştir. Adipositlerde tunikamisin aracılığıyla ER stres ve insülin direnci uyarıldığında glutamin taşıyıcılarının seviyeleri azalırken, palmitat ile uyarılan ER stres ve insülin direnci durumunda ise glutamin taşıyıcılarınının seviyelerinde artış görülmüştür. Glutamin taşıyıcısı ASCT2'nin ifadesinin azaltıldığı 3T3-L1 fibroblastları adipositlere farklılaştırıldığında, hücre içi yağ birikimi ciddi oranda azalırken beraberinde insülin direnci ve ER stres de azalmaktadır. Ayrıca, hücre içi glutamin, malat ve fumarat düzeyleri kolorimetrik olarak ölçüldüğünde, adiposite farklılaşmanın etkisiyle glutamin ve malat miktarı artmaktadır. ASCT2'nin ifadesinin azaldığı adipositlerde ise glutamin düzeyi düşer iken fumarat ve malat düzeyleri değişmemektedir. Sonuç olarak, adipositlerdeki insülin direnci ile hücre için gerekli enerji ve hammaddelerin glikozdan sağlanamaması durumunda mitokondride glutaminin kullanıldığı bulunmuştur. Önemli bir enerji ve karbon kaynağı olan glutamin insülin direncine etkisini ER stres üzerinden gösterdiği ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Glutamin ve ASCT2'nin obezite ve tip 2 diayabet için geliştirilebilecek tedavi yaklaşımlarında önemli hedefler olduğu gösterilmiştir.

▼ Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infections are a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States. Shiga-like toxins are produced that can cause hemorrhagic colitis and can lead to dangerous complications, such as acute kidney injury and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). There are currently no specific treatments for HUS, and therefore more research into EHEC and HUS needs to be done.
Our study focuses on Shiga-like toxin induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in in vitro and in vivo systems, using human monocyte-like THP-1 cells and a non-human primate model of HUS. We used qPCR to determine the levels of ER stress marker expression induced by both Shiga-like toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga-like toxin 2 (Stx2) challenges. We also looked at ER stress marker expression in non-human primates that survived a lethal Stx2 challenge after being given a Stx2 binding tetravalent peptide.
We expected to see increased ER stress marker expression in THP-1 cells challenged with both Shiga-like toxins and in animals that received lethal doses of the toxins. Although results were inconclusive for THP-1 cell experiments, our preliminary non-human primate data suggest that the timing of ER stress marker production is important, and Shiga-like toxins may suppress the unfolded protein response (UPR) in some baboon tissues. We also show that the therapeutic peptide TVP may reverse this UPR suppression and relieve ER stress leading to animal survival. Our study, along with the current literature, shows that Shiga-like toxin induced ER stress is a promising area for future study.
