Abstract
By limiting unrestricted activation of intracellular effectors, compartmentalized signaling of cyclic nucleotides confers specificity to extracellular stimuli and is critical for the development and health of cells and organisms. Dissecting the molecular mechanisms that allow local control of cyclic nucleotide signaling is essential for our understanding of physiology and pathophysiology, but mapping the dynamics and regulation of compartmentalized signaling is a challenge. In this minireview we summarize advanced imaging and proteomics techniques that have been successfully used to probe compartmentalized cAMP signaling in eukaryotic cells. Subcellularly targeted fluorescence resonance energy transfer sensors can precisely locate and measure compartmentalized cAMP, and this allows us to estimate the range of effector activation. Because cAMP effector proteins often cluster together with their targets and cAMP regulatory proteins to form discrete cAMP signalosomes, proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis have more recently been used to identify additional players in the cAMP-signaling cascade. We propose that the synergistic use of the techniques discussed could prove fruitful in generating a detailed map of cAMP signalosomes and reveal new details of compartmentalized signaling. Compiling a dynamic map of cAMP nanodomains in defined cell types would establish a blueprint for better understanding the alteration of signaling compartments associated with disease and would provide a molecular basis for targeted therapeutic strategies. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: cAMP signaling is compartmentalized. Some functionally important cellular signaling compartments operate on a nanometer scale, and their integrity is essential to maintain cellular function and appropriate responses to extracellular stimuli. Compartmentalized signaling provides an opportunity for precision medicine interventions. Our detailed understanding of the composition, function, and regulation of cAMP-signaling nanodomains in health and disease is essential and will benefit from harnessing the right combination of advanced biochemical and imaging techniques.

Schlafen 12 Interaction with SerpinB12 and Deubiquitylases Drives Human Enterocyte Differentiation. Cell Physiol Biochem 2018; 48:1274-1290. [PMID: 30045019 DOI: 10.1159/000492019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2017] [Accepted: 05/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Human enterocytic differentiation is altered during development, fasting, adaptation, and bariatric surgery, but its intracellular control remains unclear. We hypothesized that Schlafen 12 (SLFN12) regulates enterocyte differentiation. METHODS We used laser capture dissection of epithelium, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry to evaluate SLFN12 expression in biopsies of control and fasting human duodenal mucosa, and viral overexpression and siRNA to trace the SLFN12 pathway in human Caco-2 and HIEC6 intestinal epithelial cells. RESULTS Fasting human duodenal mucosa expressed less SLFN12 mRNA and protein, accompanied by decreases in enterocytic markers like sucrase-isomaltase. SLFN12 overexpression increased Caco-2 sucrase-isomaltase promoter activity, mRNA, and protein independently of proliferation, and activated the SLFN12 putative promoter. SLFN12 coprecipitated Serpin B12 (SERPB12). An inactivating SLFN12 point mutation prevented both SERPB12 binding and sucrase-isomaltase induction. SERPB12 overexpression also induced sucrase-isomaltase, while reducing SERPB12 prevented the SLFN12 effect on sucrase-isomaltase. Sucrase-isomaltase induction by both SLFN12 and SERPB12 was attenuated by reducing UCHL5 or USP14, and blocked by reducing both. SERPB12 stimulated USP14 but not UCHL5 activity. SERPB12 coprecipitated USP14 but not UCHL5. Moreover, SLFN12 increased protein levels of the sucrase-isomaltase-promoter-binding transcription factor cdx2 without altering Cdx2 mRNA. This was prevented by reducing UCHL5 and USP14. We further validated this pathway in vitro and in vivo. SLFN12 or SERPB12 overexpression induced sucrase-isomaltase in human non-malignant HIEC-6 enterocytes. CONCLUSIONS SLFN12 regulates human enterocytic differentiation by a pathway involving SERPB12, the deubiquitylases, and Cdx2. This pathway may be targeted to manipulate human enterocytic differentiation in mucosal atrophy, short gut or obesity.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the effects of factors secreted by the lung adenocarcinoma cell line with the neuroendocrine phenotype, A549NED, on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) activity in vitro A perspective that integrates the nervous, endocrine and immune system in cancer research is essential to understand the complexity of dynamic interactions in tumours. Extensive clinical research suggests that neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) is correlated with worse patient outcomes; however, little is known regarding the effects of neuroendocrine factors on the communication between the immune system and neoplastic cells. The human lung cancer cell line A549 was induced to NED (A549NED) using cAMP-elevating agents. The A549NED cells showed changes in cell morphology, an inhibition of proliferation, an overexpression of chromogranin and a differential pattern of biogenic amine production (decreased dopamine and increased serotonin [5-HT] levels). Using co-cultures to determine the cytolytic CTLs activity on target cells, we showed that the acquisition of NED inhibits the decrease in the viability of the target cells and release of fluorescence. Additionally, the conditioned medium of A549NED and 5-HT considerably decreased the viability and proliferation of the Jurkat cells after 24 h. Thus, our study successfully generated a neuroendocrine phenotype from the A549 cell line. In co-cultures with CTLs, the pattern of secretion by A549NED impaired the proliferation and cytotoxic activity of CTLs, which might be partly explained by the increased release of 5-HT.

Abstract
We previously identified phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) as a marker for interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in adult mouse gut. However, PDE3A expression and function during gut development and in ICC-derived gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) remained unknown. Here we found that PDE3A was expressed throughout ICC development and that ICC density was halved in PDE3A-deficient mice. In the human imatinib-sensitive GIST882 cell line, the PDE3 inhibitor cilostazol halved cell viability (IC50 0.35 μM) and this effect synergized with imatinib (Chou-Talalay's CI50 0.15). Recently the compound 6-(4-(diethylamino)-3-nitrophenyl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one, or DNMDP was found to be cytotoxic selectively for cells expressing both PDE3A and Schlafen12 (SLFN12) (de Waal L et al. Nat Chem Bio 2016), identifying a new, non-catalytic, role for PDE3A. 108 out of 117 (92%) of our human GIST samples displayed both PDE3A and SLFN12 immunoreactivity. GIST882 cells express both PDE3A and SLFN12 and DNMDP decreased their viability by 90%. Our results suggest a role for PDE3A during ICC development and open novel perspectives for PDE3A in targeted GIST therapy, on one hand by the synergism between imatinib and cilostazol, a PDE3 inhibitor already in clinical use for other indications, and, on the other hand, by the neomorphic, druggable, PDE3A-SLFN12 cytotoxic interplay.

Abstract
Protein-metabolite interactions play a vital role in the regulation of numerous cellular processes. Consequently, identifying such interactions is a key prerequisite for understanding cellular regulation. However, the noncovalent nature of the binding between proteins and metabolites has so far hampered the development of methods for systematically mapping protein-metabolite interactions. The few available, largely mass spectrometry-based, approaches are restricted to specific metabolite classes, such as lipids. In this study, we address this issue and show the potential of ligand-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is routinely used in drug development, to systematically identify protein-metabolite interactions. As a proof of concept, we selected four well-characterized bacterial and mammalian proteins (AroG, Eno, PfkA, and bovine serum albumin) and identified metabolite binders in complex mixes of up to 33 metabolites. Ligand-detected NMR captured all of the reported protein-metabolite interactions, spanning a full range of physiologically relevant Kd values (low micromolar to low millimolar). We also detected a number of novel interactions, such as promiscuous binding of the negatively charged metabolites citrate, AMP, and ATP, as well as binding of aromatic amino acids to AroG protein. Using in vitro enzyme activity assays, we assessed the functional relevance of these novel interactions in the case of AroG and show that l-tryptophan, l-tyrosine, and l-histidine act as novel inhibitors of AroG activity. Thus, we conclude that ligand-detected NMR is suitable for the systematic identification of functionally relevant protein-metabolite interactions.
