Analysis of heat shock protein 30 gene expression and function in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cellsKhan, Saad 28 August 2014 (has links)
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that assist in protein synthesis, folding and degradation and prevent stress-induced protein aggregation. The present study examined the pattern of accumulation of HSP30 and HSP70 in cells recovering from heat shock as well as the effect of proteasome inhibition on cytoplasmic/nuclear and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecular chaperone accumulation, large multimeric HSP30 complexes, stress granule and aggresome formation in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells. Initial immunoblot analysis revealed the presence of elevated levels of HSP30 after 72 h of recovery. However, the relative levels of HSP70 declined to near control levels after 24 h. The relative levels of both hsp30 and hsp70 mRNA were reduced to low levels after 24 h of recovery from heat shock. Pretreatment of cells with cycloheximide, a translational inhibitor, produced a rapid decline in HSP70 but not HSP30. The cycloheximide-associated decline of HSP70 was blocked by the proteasomal inhibitor, MG132, but had little effect on the relative level of HSP30. Also, treatment of cells with the phosphorylation inhibitor, SB203580, in addition to cycloheximide treatment enhanced the stability of HSP30 compared to cycloheximide alone. Immunocytochemical studies detected the presence of HSP30 accumulation in a granular pattern in the cytoplasm of recovering cells and its association with aggresome-like structures, which was enhanced in the presence of SB203580. To verify if proteasome inhibition in A6 cells induced the formation of similar HSP30 granules, immunoblot and immunocytochemical analyses were performed. MG132, celastrol and withaferin A enhanced ubiquitinated proteins, inhibited chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome and induced the accumulation of cytoplasmic/nuclear HSPs, HSP30 and HSP70 as well as ER chaperones, BiP and GRP94 and heme oxygenase-1. Northern blot experiments determined that proteasome inhibitors induced an accumulation in hsp30, hsp70 and bip mRNA but not eIF1α. The final part of this study demonstrated that treatment of A6 cells with proteasome inhibitors or sodium arsenite or cadmium chloride induced HSP30 multimeric complex formation primarily in the cytoplasm. Moreover, these stressors also induced the formation of RNA stress granules, pre-stalled translational complexes, which were detected via TIA1 and polyA binding protein (PABP), which are known stress granule markers. These stress granules, however, did not co-localize with large HSP30 multimeric complexes. In comparison, proteasome inhibition or treatment with sodium arsenite or cadmium chloride also induced the formation of aggresome-like structures, which are proteinaceous inclusion bodies formed as a result of an abundance of aggregated protein. Aggresome formation was identified by monitoring the presence of vimentin and γ-tubulin, both of which are cytoskeletal proteins and serve as markers of aggresome detection. Aggresome formation, which was also verified using the ProteoStat assay, co-localized with large HSP30 multimeric complexes. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that HSP30 associated with γ-tubulin and β-actin in cells treated with proteasome inhibitors or sodium arsenite or cadmium chloride suggesting a possible role in aggresome formation. In conclusion, this study has shown that the relative levels of heat shock-induced HSP30 persist during recovery in contrast to HSP70. While HSP70 is degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, it is likely that the presence of HSP30 multimeric complexes that are known to associate with unfolded protein as well as its association with aggresome-like structures may delay its degradation. Finally, proteasome inhibition, sodium arsenite and cadmium chloride treatment of A6 cells induced cytoplasmic/nuclear and ER chaperones as well as resulting in the formation stress granules and aggresome-like structures which associated with large HSP30 multimeric complexes.

L’histone déacétylase HDAC6, un nouvel effecteur du suppresseur de tumeur LKB1 / Histone deacetylase HDAC6 : a new effector of tumor suppressor LKB1Aznar, Nicolas 15 March 2011 (has links)
Le gène suppresseur de tumeur LKB1 code une sérine/thréonine kinase qui régule le métabolisme énergétique et la polarité cellulaire. Son action biologique s'exerce en partie via la protéine kinase activée par l'AMP (AMPK), substrat de LKB1 dont la phosphorylation stimule l'activité catalytique. Nous avons récemment mis en évidence une interaction entre LKB1 et la déacétylase HDAC6. HDAC6 régule principalement l'état d'acétylation de protéines localisées dans le cytoplasme telles que la molécule chaperon HSP90, la tubuline α, et la cortactine. HDAC6 contrôle la stabilité des protéines liées à HSP90 mais agit aussi sur la polarité et l'adhérence des cellules. De plus, HDAC6 répond à différentes situations de stress cellulaire en favorisant le transport des protéines polyubiquitinées vers les aggrésomes, où celles ci sont dégradées, et en promouvant la formation des granules de stress, complexes ribonucléoprotéiques participant au stockage des ARNm et au blocage de la traduction. Mon projet de recherche a porté sur les conséquences fonctionnelles de l'interaction entre LKB1 et HDAC6. J'ai ainsi pu montrer que la formation de ce complexe est renforcée en condition de stress oxydatif et thermique. Dans cette situation biologique, LKB1 interfère avec la capacité de HDAC6 à fixer les protéines ubiquitinylées, et par conséquent prévient la formation des aggrésomes et des granules de stress. A l'inverse, LKB1 stimule l'activité déacétylase de HDAC6, et cette action de LKB1 est requise pour la migration orientée des cellules ainsi que pour la polarisation apico-basale dans un modèle de culture d'entérocytes. Ce travail nous a ainsi permis d'identifier un nouvel effecteur de LKB1 qui intervient dans la réponse au stress et dans la polarisation cellulaire. Il s'agit aussi de la première mise en évidence d'une régulation de l'activité de liaison à l'ubiquitine de HDAC6. Ces données suggèrent que LKB1, via son effet sur HDAC6, pourrait limiter la réponse adaptative des cellules soumises à des stress exogènes et endogènes, comme ceux que les cellules en voie de transformation rencontrent dans leur microenvironnement, une propriété qui pourrait s'avérer essentielle pour son activité de suppresseur de tumeur / The tumor suppressor LKB1 is a serine-threonine kinase that acts as a critical regulator of energy homeostasis and cell polarity 1,2. LKB1 relays its intracellular signal through the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as well as twelve additional members of the AMPK sub-family 3-5. However, despite the identification of these LKB1 effectors, the mechanisms that underlie LKB1-mediated biological effects remain incompletely understood. We now report that LKB1 interacts with and phosphorylates HDAC6, a deacetylase that protects cells against extrinsic insults through its ability to ligate polyubiquinated misfolded proteins and to dynamically associate with both the microtubule and the actin cytoskeleton networks 6. We further found that the formation of the LKB1-HDAC6 complex was promoted in response to diverse stressful stimuli. As a consequence, HDAC6 ubiquitin-binding activity was inhibited, thus impeding the formation of aggresomes and stress granules, two transient cellular structures that, respectively, prevent the accumulation of aggregated proteins 7 and remodel messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes following stresses that block translation 8. Collectively, these data identify HDAC6 as a key downstream component of the LKB1 signalling pathway. Our findings further suggest that LKB1, via its inhibitory effect on HDAC6 ubiquitin-binding activity, limits the cellular adaptive response to a protracted stress, a distinctive biological property that is likely to contribute to its tumor-suppressive function
