View SamplesWe hypothesize that gene expression in the cigarette smoke (CS) exposed neonatal lung and age-matched controls will be divergent. CS exposed lung will have divergence of immune response genes and structural genes. The lungs of (6) 2 week old neonatal mice exposed to 2 weeks of CS were compared to the lung of (4) 2 week old age-matched control mice. We utilized microarray analysis to examine transcriptional differences between smoke exposed neonatal lung and age-matched controls.

View SamplesHmt1p is the predominant arginine methyltransferase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its substrate proteins are involved in transcription, transcriptional regulation, nucleocytoplasmic transport and RNA splicing. Functionally, Hmt1p-catalysed methylation can also modulate protein-protein interactions. Despite Hmt1p being well-characterised, the effects of its knockout on the proteome and transcriptome have not been reported. SILAC-based analyses of the hmt1 proteome, in mid-log exponential growth, revealed a decreased abundance of phosphate-associated proteins including Pho84p (phosphate transporter), Pho8p (vacuolar alkaline phosphatase), Pho3p (acid phosphatase) along with Vtc1p, Vtc3p and Vtc4p (subunits of the vacuolar transporter chaperone complex). RNA-Seq and microarray analysis revealed a downregulation of phosphate-responsive genes in hmt1, including PHO5, PHO11 and PHO12 (acid phosphatases), PHO84 and PHO89 (phosphate transporters) and VTC3 (vacuolar transporter chaperone). Consistent with these observations, we observed a dysregulation of phosphate homeostasis in hmt1, with a general decrease in extracellular phosphatase production and a decrease in total Pi in phosphate replete medium. We show that the transcription factor Pho4p, responsible for activation of the PHO pathway, can be methylated by Hmt1p at Arg-241 and is the likely cause of phosphate dysregulation in hmt1. However, the methylation of Pho4p does not affect its nucleocytoplasmic localisation. We propose that the methylation of Pho4p may affect either its capacity to multimerise, its capacity to interact with Pho2p or target DNA, or may affect Pho4p phosphorylation at Ser-242 and/or Ser 243. Our study highlights a previously unknown function of Hmt1p in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis and suggests a means by which sensing of AdoMet may affect intracellular phosphate concentration.

View SamplesThe difference in X chromosome copy number creates a potential difference in X chromosomal gene expression between males and females. In many animals, dosage compensation mechanisms equalize X chromosome expression between sexes. Yet, X chromosome is also enriched for sex-biased genes due to differences in the evolutionary history of the X and autosomes. The manner in which dosage compensation and sex-biased gene expression exist on the X chromosome remains an open question. Most studies compare gene expression between two sexes, which combines expression differences due to X chromosome number (dose) and sex. Here, we uncoupled the effects of sex and X dose in C. elegans and determined how each process affects expression of the X chromosome compared to autosomes. We found that in the soma, sex-biased expression on the X chromosome is almost entirely due to sex because the dosage compensation complex (DCC) effectively compensates for the X dose difference between sexes. In the germline where the DCC is not present, X chromosome copy number contributes to hermaphrodite-biased gene expression. These results suggest that X dose contributes to sex-biased gene expression based on the level of dosage compensation in different tissues and developmental stages.

View SamplesThe clinical efficacy of EGFR kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib is limited by the development of drug resistance. The most common mechanism of drug resistance is the secondary EGFR T790M mutation. Strategies to overcome EGFR T790M mediated drug resistance include the use of mutant selective EGFR inhibitors, including WZ4002, or by the use of high concentrations of irreversible quinazoline EGFR inhibitors such as PF299804. In the current study we develop drug resistant versions of the EGFR mutant PC9 cell line which reproducibly develops EGFR T790M as a mechanism of drug resistance to gefitinib. Neither PF299804 resistant (PFR) or WZ4002 resistant (WZR) clones of PC9 harbor EGFR T790M. Instead, they demonstrate activated IGF1R signaling as a result of loss of expression of IGFBP3 and the IGF1R inhibitor, BMS 536924, restores EGFR inhibitor sensitivity. Intriguingly, prolonged exposure to either PF299804 or WZ4002 results in the emergence of a more drug resistant subclone which contains ERK activation. A MEK inhibitor, CI-1040, partially restores sensitivity to EGFR/IGF1R inhibitor combination. Moreover, an IGF1R or MEK inhibitor used in combination with either PF299804 or WZ4002 completely prevents the emergence of drug resistant clones in this model system. Our studies suggest that more effective means of inhibiting EGFR T790M will prevent the emergence of this common drug resistance mechanism in EGFR mutant NSCLC. However, multiple drug resistance mechanisms can still emerge. Preventing the emergence of drug resistance, by targeting pathways activated in resistant cancers before they emerge, may be a more effective clinical strategy.
