Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) channel is a nonselective cation channel that mediates influx of Ca(2+) and Na(+) with relative permeability of PCa:PNa ≈0.6 in response to cellular oxidative stress. As angiogenesis and ischemic neovascularization are both significantly dependent on oxidant signaling, here we investigated the possible role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced reactive oxygen species production in activating TRPM2-dependent Ca(2+) signaling and in the mechanism of angiogenesis and ischemic neovascularization. APPROACH AND RESULTS We observed that VEGF stimulation rapidly induced the association of TRPM2 and cellular Src kinase with vascular endothelial-cadherin forming a signalplex at vascular endothelial-cadherin junctions in endothelial cells. Using endothelial cells isolated from TRPM2(-/-) mice or after small interfering RNA depletion of TRPM2, we demonstrated that TRPM2-activated Ca(2+) signaling was required for cellular Src kinase-induced phosphorylation of vascular endothelial-cadherin at Y658 and Y731, the crucial sites involved in vascular endothelial-cadherin internalization in response to VEGF. VEGF-induced reactive oxygen species generation activated TRPM2-induced Ca(2+) entry, whereas the reactive oxygen species-insensitive TRPM2 mutant (C1008→A) showed impaired Ca(2+) entry. Endothelial cells depleted of TRPM2 also displayed significantly perturbed migratory phenotype and impaired activation of cellular Src in response to VEGF. TRPM2(-/-) mice reconstituted with wild-type myeloid cells demonstrated aberrant angiogenesis and neovascularization in the hindlimb ischemia model as compared with wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS VEGF-induced angiogenesis and postischemic neovascularization in mice required reactive oxygen species generation in endothelial cells and resultant TRPM2 activation. Thus, our findings provide novel insight into the role of TRPM2 in mechanism of angiogenesis and ischemic neovascularization.

Dynamic dialog between cytokeratin 18 and annexin A1 in breast cancer: a transcriptional disequilibrium. Acta Histochem 2014; 116:1178-84. [PMID: 25028131 DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2014.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2014] [Revised: 06/19/2014] [Accepted: 06/23/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Cytokeratins (CKs) constitute the cytoskeletal network and are regulated by post-translational modifications, acting not only as a mechanical support, but also in cell signaling and regulatory processes. Signaling is mediated by CK-associated proteins, such as Annexin A1 (ANXA1), a ligand of the CK18/CK8 complex. ANXA1 has a pivotal role in cellular and immunological responses, and together with CK18 have been implicated in several processes related to malignant transformation in breast cancer (BC). Our aim was to demonstrate how their interaction might be linked to BC development. We investigated transcript levels, protein expression and distribution for both targets in breast tissues of 92 patients (42 BCs and 50 benign diseases) using qPCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. ANXA1 and CK18 mRNAs were inversely correlated, and their ratio in each TNM stage significantly differentiated BC from benign diseases (OR=5.62). These differences did not mirror tissue protein levels, but a significant dichotomous protein distribution in tumor tissues was observed, differing from the expected co-localization observed during cell homeostasis. The disequilibrium of transcriptional levels between ANXA1/CK18 and alterations in their tissue distribution are present either in initial events or tumor progression, which suggest a critical event in BC. The broken dialog between ANXA1 and CK18 in normal breast tissues may play a critical role in BC development, and together may be used as combined targets for BC diagnostics.

Increased activity of cell surface peptidases in HeLa cells undergoing UV-induced apoptosis is not mediated by caspase 3. Int J Mol Sci 2012; 13:2650-2675. [PMID: 22489116 PMCID: PMC3317679 DOI: 10.3390/ijms13032650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2011] [Revised: 02/14/2012] [Accepted: 02/22/2012] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We have previously shown that in HeLa cells treated with a variety of agents there is an increase in cell surface peptidase (CSP) activity in those cells undergoing apoptosis. The increase in CSP activity observed in UVB-irradiated cells undergoing apoptosis was unaffected when the cultures were treated with the aminopeptidase inhibitor bestatin, and matrix metalloprotease inhibitor BB3103, but greatly enhanced when treated with the caspase 3 inhibitor-DEVD, and reduced in the presence of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor-3-aminobenzamide (3AB). Neither 3AB nor DEVD had an effect on the gross morphology of the apoptotic cells observed under electron microscopy, nor did they have an effect on phosphatidylserine eversion on the cell membrane, or that of PARP cleavage. All the agents except for DEVD had no effect on the level of caspase 3 activity in the cells. The results suggest that other caspases may cleave PARP in these cells. Both 3AB and DEVD treatment reduced the level of actin cleavage seen in the apoptotic cells. The increase in CSP activity observed in cells undergoing UVB-induced apoptosis appears to involve PARP but not caspase 3.

Abstract
The capability of PARP activity inhibitors to prevent DNA damage recovery suggested the use of these drugs as chemo- and radio-sensitisers for cancer therapy. Our research, carried out on cultured human M14 melanoma cells, was aimed to examine if PJ-34, a potent PARP activity inhibitor of second generation, was per se able to affect the viability of these cancer cells without any DNA damaging agents. Using time-lapse videomicroscopy, we evidenced that 10 microM PJ-34 treatment induced severe mitotic defects leading to dramatic reduction of cell proliferation and to cell death. PJ-34 cytotoxic effect was further confirmed by analysis of cell viability and clonogenic assay. Absence of canonic apoptosis markers allowed us to exclude this kind of cell death. No single and/or double stranded DNA damage was evidenced. Immunofluorescence analysis showed an aberrant mitotic scenario in several cells and subsequent multinucleation suggesting an atypical way for cells to die: the mitotic catastrophe. The detection of aberrant accumulation of polymerised actin inside the nucleolus was noteworthy. Taken together, our results demonstrate that, targeting PARP activity by PJ-34, cancer cell survival is affected independently of DNA damage repair. Two findings are remarkable: (a) cisplatin concentration can be reduced by three quarters if it is followed by treatment with 10 microM PJ-34 for 24 h to obtain the same cytotoxic effect; (b) effects dependent on PJ-34 treatment are reversible. Our data suggest that, to reduce the harm done to non-tumour cells during chemotherapy with cisplatin, the latter could be coupled with PJ-34 treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins involved in several cellular events as well as in processes that characterize the infective cycle of some viruses. In the present study, we investigated the role of poly(ADP-ribosylation) on Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) lytic cycle activation. RESULTS Inhibition of PARP-1 by 3-aminobenzamide (3-ABA) during EBV induction, diminished cell damage and apoptosis in the non-productive Raji cell line while markedly reducing the release of viral particles in the productive Jijoye cells. Furthermore, incubation with 3-ABA up-regulated the levels of LMP1 and EBNA2 latent viral proteins. At the same time, it slightly affected the expression of the immediate early BZLF1 gene, but largely down-regulated the levels of the early BFRF1 protein. The modulation of the expression of both latent and lytic EBV genes appeared to be post-transcriptionally regulated. CONCLUSION Taken together the data indicate that PARP-1 plays a role in the progression of EBV lytic cycle and therefore, PARP inhibitors might represent suitable pharmacological adjuncts to control viral spread in EBV productive infection.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases are involved in fundamental cellular events as well as they seem to be associated to some viral infection process. In this work, the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) role in the polyomavirus life cycle has been investigated. Early viral transcription was reduced by competitive inhibitors of PARPs in Swiss 3T3 cells and almost abolished in PARP-1 knockout fibroblasts and in wild-type fibroblasts when PARP-1 was silenced by RNA interference. In vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (poly(ADP-ribose)) facilitates the release of the capsid protein viral protein 1 (VP1) from the chromatin of infecting virions. In vitro experiments demonstrated that VP1 stimulates the enzymatic activity of PARP-1 and binds non-covalently both protein-free and PARP-1-bound poly(ADP-ribose). Our studies suggest that PARP-1 promotes the complete VP1 displacement from viral DNA favouring the viral early transcription.

Abstract
An affinity chromatography strategy was used to search for proteins in A549 cells which interact with the N-terminus of lipocortin 1 (annexin 1). Using the biologically active fragment Lc13-25 as the affinity ligand, two proteins of molecular weight (m.w.) 52 and 48kDa were extracted. Affinity blots of these proteins bound iodinated Lc13-25. Partial tryptic digests of these proteins were analysed by matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry and found to display fragmentation patterns with a strong similarity to those of cytokeratin 8 and 18 respectively. Subsequent blotting with a panel of specific cytokeratin antibodies strongly supported the idea that the two proteins were cytokeratin 8 and cytokeratin 18. Cytokeratin 8 was isolated from A549 cells in intermediate filament (IF) preparations which were also found to contain lipocortin 1 as a potential intermediate filament associated protein (IFAP). This association persisted throughout cycles of IF assembly and disassembly. Dual-labelling immuno-histochemistry in A549 cells showed strong co-localization of lipocortin 1 and cytokeratin 8. The implications of this finding are discussed in the light of the biological activity and possible function of lipocortin 1.
