Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein phosphorylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications involved in molecular control of cellular processes, and is mediated by over 520 protein kinases in humans and other mammals. Identification of the protein kinases responsible for phosphorylation events is key to understanding signaling pathways. Unbiased phosphoproteomics experiments have generated a wealth of data that can be used to identify protein kinase targets and their preferred substrate sequences. METHODS This study utilized prior data from mass spectrometry-based studies identifying sites of protein phosphorylation after in vitro incubation of protein mixtures with recombinant protein kinases. PTM-Logo software was used with these data to generate position-dependent Shannon information matrices and sequence motif 'logos'. Webpages were constructed for facile access to logos for each kinase and a new stand-alone application was written in Python that uses the position-dependent Shannon information matrices to identify kinases most likely to phosphorylate a particular phosphorylation site. RESULTS A database of kinase substrate target preference logos allows browsing, searching, or downloading target motif data for each protein kinase ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/ ). These logos were combined with phylogenetic analysis of protein kinase catalytic sequences to reveal substrate preference patterns specific to particular groups of kinases ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/KinaseTree.html ). A stand-alone program, KinasePredictor, is provided ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/KinasePredictor.html ). It takes as input, amino-acid sequences surrounding a given phosphorylation site and generates a ranked list of protein kinases most likely to phosphorylate that site. CONCLUSIONS This study provides three new resources for protein kinase characterization. It provides a tool for prediction of kinase-substrate interactions, which in combination with other types of data (co-localization, etc.), can predict which kinases are likely responsible for a given phosphorylation event in a given tissue.

Abstract
Tolvaptan, a vasopressin antagonist selective for the V2-subtype vasopressin receptor (V2R), is widely used in the treatment of hyponatremia and autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Its effects on signaling in collecting duct cells have not been fully characterized. Here, we perform RNA-seq in a collecting duct cell line (mpkCCD). The data show that tolvaptan inhibits the expression of mRNAs that were previously shown to be increased in response to vasopressin including aquaporin-2, but also reveals mRNA changes that were not readily predictable and suggest off-target actions of tolvaptan. One such action is activation of the MAPK kinase (ERK1/ERK2) pathway. Prior studies have shown that ERK1/ERK2 activation is essential in the regulation of a variety of cellular and physiological processes and can be associated with cell proliferation. In immunoblotting experiments, we demonstrated that ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in mpkCCD cells was significantly reduced by vasopressin, in contrast to the increases seen in non-collecting-duct cells overexpressing V2R in prior studies. We also found that tolvaptan has a strong effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in the presence of vasopressin and that tolvaptan's effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation is absent in mpkCCD cells in which both protein kinase A (PKA)-catalytic subunits have been deleted. Thus, it appears that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK activation is PKA-dependent and is not due to an off-target effect of tolvaptan. We conclude that in cells expressing V2R at endogenous levels: 1) vasopressin decreases ERK1/ERK2 activation; 2) in the presence of vasopressin, tolvaptan increases ERK1/ERK2 activation; and 3) these effects are PKA-dependent.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin is a key hormone that regulates the function of the collecting duct of the kidney. ERK1 and ERK2 are enzymes that play key roles in physiological regulation in all cells. The authors used collecting duct cell cultures to investigate the effects of vasopressin and the vasopressin receptor antagonist tolvaptan on ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation and activation.

Abstract
Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CAMK2) family proteins are involved in the regulation of cellular processes in a variety of tissues including brain, heart, liver, and kidney. One member, CAMK2δ (CAMK2D), has been proposed to be involved in vasopressin signaling in the renal collecting duct, which controls water excretion through regulation of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). To identify CAMK2D target proteins in renal collecting duct cells (mpkCCD), we deleted Camk2d and carried out LC-MS/MS-based quantitative phosphoproteomics. Specifically, we used CRISPR/Cas9 with two different guide RNAs targeting the CAMK2D catalytic domain to create multiple CAMK2D KO cell lines. AQP2 protein abundance was lower in the CAMK2D KO cells than in CAMK2D-intact controls. AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser256 and Ser269 (normalized for total AQP2) was decreased. However, trafficking of AQP2 to and from the apical plasma membrane was sustained. Large-scale quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis (TMT-labeling) in the presence of the vasopressin analog dDAVP (0.1 nM, 30 min) allowed quantification of 11,570 phosphosites of which 169 were significantly decreased, while 206 were increased in abundance in CAMK2D KO clones. These data are available for browsing or download at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CAMK2D-proteome/. Motif analysis of the decreased phosphorylation sites revealed a target preference of -(R/K)-X-X-p(S/T)-X-(D/E), matching the motif identified in previous in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant CAMK2D. Thirty five of the significantly downregulated phosphorylation sites in CAMK2D KO cells had exactly this motif and are judged to be likely direct CAMK2D targets. This adds to the list of known CAMK2D target proteins found in prior reductionist studies.

Abstract
Loss of a kidney results in compensatory growth of the remaining kidney, a phenomenon of considerable clinical importance. However, the mechanisms involved are largely unknown. Here, we use a multi-omic approach in a unilateral nephrectomy model in male mice to identify signaling processes associated with renal compensatory hypertrophy, demonstrating that the lipid-activated transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is an important determinant of proximal tubule cell size and is a likely mediator of compensatory proximal tubule hypertrophy.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Sex-dependent differences in kidney function are recognized but the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unexplored. Advances in genomics and proteomic technologies now allow extensive characterization of differences between the same cell types of males and females. Multiomics integrating RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and proteomics data to investigate differences in gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and protein expression in proximal tubules of male and female mice identified many sex-biased genes and proteins associated with kidney functions, including metabolic and transport processes. Sex differences may also arise from variations of the interaction between transcription factors and accessible chromatin regions. A comprehensive web resource is provided to advance understanding of sex differences in cells of the proximal tubule. BACKGROUND Sex differences have been increasingly recognized as important in kidney physiology and pathophysiology, but limited resources are available for comprehensive interrogation of sex differences. METHODS RNA-seq and ATAC-seq of microdissected mouse proximal tubules and protein mass spectrometry of homogenized perfused mouse kidneys reveal differences in proximal tubule cells of males and females. RESULTS The transcriptomic data indicated that the major differences in the proximal tubules between the sexes were in the S2/S3 segments, and most of the sex-biased transcripts mapped to autosomes rather than to the sex chromosomes. Many of the transcripts exhibiting sex-biased expression are involved in monocarboxylic acid metabolic processes, organic anion transport, and organic acid transport. The ATAC-seq method on microdissected tubules captured chromatin accessibility. Many of the more than 7000 differentially accessible DNA regions identified were in distal regions. Motif analyses revealed a lack of direct involvement of estrogen receptors or the androgen receptor (absence of canonical hormone response elements), suggesting an indirect regulatory role of sex hormones. Instead, analyses identified several transcription factors (TFs) ( Tead1 , Nfia/b , and Pou3f3 ) whose interplay with proximal tubule-specific TFs ( e.g. , Hnf1b , Hnf4a ) may contribute to sex differences. Finally, the whole-kidney proteome was correlated with the transcriptome, and many sex-biased proteins ( e.g. , Cyp2e1, Acsm2/3) were identified. CONCLUSIONS Sex-dependent cis-regulatory elements interact with TFs in ways that lead to sex-biased gene expression in proximal tubule cells. These data are provided as a user-friendly web page at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/MRECA/PT/ .

Abstract
Circadian variability in kidney function is well recognized but is often ignored as a potential confounding variable in physiological experiments. Here, we have created a data resource consisting of expression levels for mRNA transcripts in microdissected proximal tubule segments from mice as a function of the time of day. Small-sample RNA sequencing was applied to microdissected S1 proximal convoluted tubules and S2 proximal straight tubules. After stringent filtering, the data were analyzed using JTK-Cycle to detect periodicity. The data set is provided as a user-friendly webpage at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Circadian-Prox2/. In proximal convoluted tubules, 234 transcripts varied in a circadian manner (4.0% of the total). In proximal straight tubules, 334 transcripts varied in a circadian manner (5.3%). Transcripts previously known to be associated with corticosteroid action and with increased flow were found to be overrepresented among circadian transcripts peaking during the "dark" portion of the day [zeitgeber time (ZT)14-22], corresponding to peak levels of corticosterone and glomerular filtration rate in mice. To ask whether there is a time-of-day dependence of protein abundances in the kidney, we carried out LC-MS/MS-based proteomics in whole mouse kidneys at ZT12 and ZT0. The full data set (n = 6,546 proteins) is available at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Circadian-Proteome/. Overall, 293 proteins were differentially expressed between ZT12 and ZT0 (197 proteins greater at ZT12 and 96 proteins greater at ZT0). Among the regulated proteins, only nine proteins were found to be periodic in the RNA-sequencing analysis, suggesting a high level of posttranscriptional regulation of protein abundances.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Circadian variation in gene expression can be an important determinant in the regulation of kidney function. The authors used RNA-sequencing transcriptomics and LC-MS/MS-based proteomics to identify gene products expressed in a periodic manner. The data were used to construct user-friendly web resources.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls renal water excretion through actions to regulate aquaporin-2 (AQP2) trafficking, transcription, and degradation. These actions are in part dependent on vasopressin-induced phosphorylation changes in collecting duct cells. Although most efforts have focused on the phosphorylation of AQP2 itself, phosphoproteomic studies have identified many vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in proteins other than AQP2. The goal of this bioinformatics-based review is to create a compendium of vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites with a focus on those that are seen in both native rat inner medullary collecting ducts and cultured collecting duct cells from the mouse (mpkCCD), arguing that these sites are the best candidates for roles in AQP2 regulation. This analysis identified 51 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in 45 proteins. We provide resource web pages at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/AVP-Phos/ and https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/AVP-Network/, listing the phosphorylation sites and describing annotated functions of each of the vasopressin-targeted phosphoproteins. Among these sites are 23 consensus protein kinase A (PKA) sites that are increased in response to vasopressin, consistent with a central role for PKA in vasopressin signaling. The remaining sites are predicted to be phosphorylated by other kinases, most notably ERK1/2, which accounts for decreased phosphorylation at sites with a X-p(S/T)-P-X motif. Additional protein kinases that undergo vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation are Camkk2, Cdk18, Erbb3, Mink1, and Src, which also may be activated directly or indirectly by PKA. The regulated phosphoproteins are mapped to processes that hypothetically can account for vasopressin-mediated control of AQP2 trafficking, cytoskeletal alterations, and Aqp2 gene expression, providing grist for future studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin regulates renal water excretion through control of the aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct cells. Studies of vasopressin-induced protein phosphorylation have focused mainly on the phosphorylation of aquaporin-2. This study describes 44 phosphoproteins other than aquaporin-2 that undergo vasopressin-mediated phosphorylation changes and summarizes potential physiological roles of each.

Abstract
The advent of modern quantitative protein mass spectrometry techniques around the turn of the 21st century has contributed to a revolution in biology referred to as 'systems biology'. These methods allow identification and quantification of thousands of proteins in a biological specimen, as well as detection and quantification of post-translational protein modifications including phosphorylation. Here, we discuss these methodologies and show how they can be applied to understand the effects of the peptide hormone vasopressin to regulate the molecular water channel aquaporin-2. The emerging picture provides a detailed framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in water balance disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ureteral obstruction is marked by disappearance of the vasopressin-dependent water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the renal collecting duct and polyuria upon reversal. Most studies of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) models have examined late time points, obscuring the early signals that trigger loss of AQP2. METHODS We performed RNA-Seq on microdissected rat cortical collecting ducts (CCDs) to identify early signaling pathways after establishment of UUO. RESULTS Vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2) mRNA was decreased 3 hours after UUO, identifying one cause of AQP2 loss. Collecting duct principal cell differentiation markers were lost, including many not regulated by vasopressin. Immediate early genes in CCDs were widely induced 3 hours after UUO, including Myc, Atf3, and Fos (confirmed at the protein level). Simultaneously, expression of NF-κB signaling response genes known to repress Aqp2 increased. RNA-Seq for CCDs at an even earlier time point (30 minutes) showed widespread mRNA loss, indicating a "stunned" profile. Immunocytochemical labeling of markers of mRNA-degrading P-bodies DDX6 and 4E-T indicated an increase in P-body formation within 30 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Immediately after establishment of UUO, collecting ducts manifest a stunned state with broad disappearance of mRNAs. Within 3 hours, there is upregulation of immediate early and inflammatory genes and disappearance of the V2 vasopressin receptor, resulting in loss of AQP2 (confirmed by lipopolysaccharide administration). The inflammatory response seen rapidly after UUO establishment may be relevant to both UUO-induced polyuria and long-term development of fibrosis in UUO kidneys.

Abstract
Background A major goal in the discovery of cellular signaling networks is to identify regulated phosphorylation sites (“phosphosites”) and map them to the responsible protein kinases. The V2 vasopressin receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that is responsible for regulation of renal water excretion through control of aquaporin-2-mediated osmotic water transport in kidney collecting duct cells. Genome editing experiments have demonstrated that virtually all vasopressin-triggered phosphorylation changes are dependent on protein kinase A (PKA), but events downstream from PKA are still obscure. Methods Here, we used: 1) Tandem mass tag-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to experimentally track phosphorylation changes over time in native collecting ducts isolated from rat kidneys; 2) a clustering algorithm to classify time course data based on abundance changes and the amino acid sequences surrounding the phosphosites; and 3) Bayes’ Theorem to integrate the dynamic phosphorylation data with multiple prior “omic” data sets covering expression, subcellular location, known kinase activity, and characteristic surrounding sequences to identify a set of protein kinases that are regulated secondary to PKA activation. Results Phosphoproteomic studies revealed 185 phosphosites regulated by vasopressin over 15 min. The resulting groups from the cluster algorithm were integrated with Bayes’ Theorem to produce corresponding ranked lists of kinases likely responsible for each group. The top kinases establish three PKA-dependent protein kinase modules whose regulation mediate the physiological effects of vasopressin at a cellular level. The three modules are 1) a pathway involving several Rho/Rac/Cdc42-dependent protein kinases that control actin cytoskeleton dynamics; 2) mitogen-activated protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase pathways that control cell proliferation; and 3) calcium/calmodulin-dependent signaling. Conclusions Our findings identify a novel set of downstream small GTPase effectors and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases with potential roles in the regulation of water permeability through actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and aquaporin-2 trafficking. The proposed signaling network provides a stronger hypothesis for the kinases mediating V2 vasopressin receptor responses, encouraging future targeted examination via reductionist approaches. Furthermore, the Bayesian analysis described here provides a template for investigating signaling via other biological systems and GPCRs. Video abstract

Abstract
Systems biology can be defined as the study of a biological process in which all of the relevant components are investigated together in parallel to discover the mechanism. Although the approach is not new, it has come to the forefront as a result of genome sequencing projects completed in the first few years of the current century. It has elements of large-scale data acquisition (chiefly next-generation sequencing-based methods and protein mass spectrometry) and large-scale data analysis (big data integration and Bayesian modeling). Here we discuss these methodologies and show how they can be applied to understand the downstream effects of GPCR signaling, specifically looking at how the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin, working through the V2 receptor and PKA activation, regulates the water channel aquaporin-2. The emerging picture provides a detailedframework for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in water balance disorders, pointing the way to improved treatment of both polyuric disorders and water-retention disorders causing dilutional hyponatremia.

Abstract
The regulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in kidney epithelial cells is important in at least 2 groups of disorders, namely water balance disorders and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Focusing on the latter, we review genes that code for proteins that are determinants of cAMP levels in cells. We identify which of these determinants are expressed in the 14 kidney tubule segments using recently published RNA-sequencing and protein mass spectrometry data ("autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-omics"). This includes G protein-coupled receptors, adenylyl cyclases, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, cAMP transporters, cAMP-binding proteins, regulator of G protein-signaling proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases, arrestins, calcium transporters, and calcium-binding proteins. In addition, compartmentalized cAMP signaling in the primary cilium is discussed, and a specialized database of the proteome of the primary cilium of cultured "IMCD3" cells is provided as an online resource (https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CiliumProteome/). Overall, this article provides a general resource in the form of a curated list of proteins likely to play roles in determination of cAMP levels in kidney epithelial cells and, therefore, likely to be determinants of progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Aquaporin-2 (Aqp2) gene transcription is strongly regulated by vasopressin in the renal collecting duct. However, the transcription factors (TFs) responsible for the regulation of expression of Aqp2 remain largely unknown. We used Bayes' theorem to integrate several -omics data sets to stratify the 1,344 TFs present in the mouse genome with regard to probabilities of regulating Aqp2 gene transcription. Also, we carried out new RNA sequencing experiments mapping the time course of vasopressin-induced changes in the transcriptome of mpkCCD cells to identify TFs that change in tandem with Aqp2. The analysis identified 17 of 1,344 TFs that are most likely to be involved in the regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription. These TFs included eight that have been proposed in prior studies to play a role in Aqp2 regulation, viz., Cebpb, Elf1, Elf3, Ets1, Jun, Junb, Nfkb1, and Sp1. The remaining nine represent new candidates for future studies (Atf1, Irf3, Klf5, Klf6, Mef2d, Nfyb, Nr2f6, Stat3, and Nr4a1). Conspicuously absent is CREB (Creb1), which has been widely proposed to mediate vasopressin-induced regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription (Nielsen S, Frokiaer J, Marples D, Kwon TH, Agre P, Knepper MA. Physiol Rev 82: 205-244, 2002; Kortenoeven ML, Fenton RA. Biochim Biophys Acta 1840: 1533-1549, 2014; Bockenhauer D, Bichet DG. Nat Rev Nephrol 11: 576-588, 2015; Pearce D, Soundararajan R, Trimpert C, Kashlan OB, Deen PM, Kohan DE. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 10: 135-146, 2015). Instead, another CREB-like TF, Atf1, ranked fourth among all TFs. RNA sequencing time-course experiments showed a rapid increase in Aqp2 mRNA, within 3 h of vasopressin exposure. This response was matched by an equally rapid increase in the abundance of the mRNA coding for Cebpb, which we have shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing studies to bind downstream from the Aqp2 gene. The identified TFs provide a roadmap for future studies to understand regulation of Aqp2 gene expression.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Abetted by the advent of systems biology-based ("-omics") techniques in the 21st century, there has been a massive expansion of published data relevant to virtually every physiological question. The authors have developed a large-scale data integration approach based on the application of Bayes'' theorem. In the current work, they integrated 12 different -omics data sets to identify the transcription factors most likely to mediate vasopressin-dependent regulation of transcription of the aquaporin-2 gene.

Abstract
The fluid in the 14 distinct segments of the renal tubule undergoes sequential transport processes that gradually convert the glomerular filtrate into the final urine. The solute carrier (SLC) family of proteins is responsible for much of the transport of ions and organic molecules along the renal tubule. In addition, some SLC family proteins mediate housekeeping functions by transporting substrates for metabolism. Here, we have developed a curated list of SLC family proteins. We used the list to produce resource webpages that map these proteins and their transcripts to specific segments along the renal tubule. The data were used to highlight some interesting features of expression along the renal tubule including sex-specific expression in the proximal tubule and the role of accessory proteins (β-subunit proteins) that are thought to be important for polarized targeting in renal tubule epithelia. Also, as an example of application of the data resource, we describe the patterns of acid-base transporter expression along the renal tubule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The peptide hormone vasopressin regulates water transport in the renal collecting duct largely via the V2 receptor, which triggers a cAMP-mediated activation of a PKA-dependent signalling network. The protein kinases downstream from PKA have not been fully identified or mapped to regulated phosphoproteins. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We carried out systems-level analysis of large-scale phosphoproteomic data quantifying vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation in aquaporin-2-expressing cultured collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells. Quantification was done using stable isotope labelling (SILAC method). KEY RESULTS Six hundred forty phosphopeptides were quantified. Stringent statistical analysis identified significant changes in response to vasopressin in 429 of these phosphopeptides. The corresponding phosphoproteins were mapped to known vasopressin-regulated cellular processes. The vasopressin-regulated sites were classified according to the sequences surrounding the phosphorylated amino acids giving 11 groups. Among the vasopressin-regulated phosphoproteins were 25 distinct protein kinases. Among these, six plus PKA appeared to account for phosphorylation of about 81% of the 313 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites. The six downstream kinases were salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2), cyclin-dependent kinase 18 (Cdk18), calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (Camkk2), protein kinase D2 (Prkd2), mitogen-activated kinase 3 (Mapk3) and myosin light chain kinase (Mylk). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS In V2 receptor-mediated signalling, PKA is at the head of a complex network that includes at least six downstream vasopressin-regulated protein kinases that are prime targets for future study. The extensive phosphoproteomic data reported in this study are provided as a web-based data resource for future studies of GPCRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cultured cell lines are widely used for research in the physiology, pathophysiology, toxicology, and pharmacology of the renal proximal tubule. The lines that are most appropriate for a given use depend upon the genes expressed. New tools for transcriptomic profiling using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) make it possible to catalog expressed genes in each cell line. METHODS Fourteen different proximal tubule cell lines, representing six species, were grown on permeable supports under conditions specific for the respective lines. RNA-Seq followed standard procedures. RESULTS Transcripts expressed in cell lines variably matched transcripts selectively expressed in native proximal tubule. Opossum kidney (OK) cells displayed the highest percentage match (45% of proximal marker genes [TPM threshold =15]), with pig kidney cells (LLC-PK1) close behind (39%). Lower-percentage matches were seen for various human lines, including HK-2 (26%), and lines from rodent kidneys, such as NRK-52E (23%). Nominally, identical OK cells from different sources differed substantially in expression of proximal tubule markers. Mapping cell line transcriptomes to gene sets for various proximal tubule functions (sodium and water transport, protein transport, metabolic functions, endocrine functions) showed that different lines may be optimal for experimentally modeling each function. An online resource (https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/JBrowse/KCT/) has been created to interrogate cell line transcriptome data. Proteomic analysis of NRK-52E cells confirmed low expression of many proximal tubule marker proteins. CONCLUSIONS No cell line fully matched the transcriptome of native proximal tubule cells. However, some of the lines tested are suitable for the study of particular metabolic and transport processes seen in the proximal tubule.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated control of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Collecting duct principal cells express two seemingly redundant PKA catalytic subunits, PKA catalytic α (PKA-Cα) and PKA catalytic β (PKA-Cβ). To identify the roles of these two protein kinases, we carried out deep phosphoproteomic analysis in cultured mpkCCD cells in which either PKA-Cα or PKA-Cβ was deleted using CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing. Controls were cells carried through the genome editing procedure but without deletion of PKA. TMT mass tagging was used for protein mass spectrometric quantification. Of the 4,635 phosphopeptides that were quantified, 67 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cα deletion, whereas 21 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cβ deletion. However, only four sites were changed in both. The target proteins identified in PKA-Cα-null cells were largely associated with cell membranes and membrane vesicles, whereas target proteins in PKA-Cβ-null cells were largely associated with the actin cytoskeleton and cell junctions. In contrast, in vitro incubation of mpkCCD proteins with recombinant PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ resulted in virtually identical phosphorylation changes. In addition, analysis of total protein abundances in in vivo samples showed that PKA-Cα deletion resulted in a near disappearance of AQP2 protein, whereas PKA-Cβ deletion did not decrease AQP2 abundance. We conclude that PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ serve substantially different regulatory functions in renal collecting duct cells and that differences in phosphorylation targets may be due to differences in protein interactions, e.g., mediated by A-kinase anchor proteins, C-kinase anchoring proteins, or PDZ binding.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are intracellular transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides and lack protein-coding information. A subclass of lncRNA known as long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are transcribed from genomic regions that share no overlap with annotated protein-coding genes. Increasing evidence has shown that some annotated lincRNA transcripts do in fact contain open reading frames (ORFs) encoding functional short peptides in the cell. Few robust methods for lincRNA-encoded peptide identification have been reported, and the tissue-specific expression of these peptides has been largely unexplored. Here we propose an integrative workflow for lincRNA-encoded peptide discovery and test it on the mouse kidney inner medulla (IM). In brief, low molecular weight protein fractions were enriched from homogenate of IMs and trypsinized into shorter peptides, which were sequenced by high resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). To curate a hypothetical lincRNA-encoded peptide database for peptide-spectrum matching following LC-MS/MS, we performed RNA-Seq on IMs, computationally removed reads overlapping with annotated protein-coding genes, and remapped the remaining reads to a database of mouse noncoding transcripts to infer lincRNA expression. Expressed lincRNAs were searched for ORFs by an existing rule-based algorithm, and translated ORFs were used for peptide-spectrum matching. Peptides identified by LC-MS/MS were further evaluated by using several quality control criteria and bioinformatics methods. We discovered three novel lincRNA-encoded peptides, which are conserved in mouse, rat, and human. The workflow can be adapted for discovery of small protein-coding genes in any species or tissue where noncoding transcriptome information is available.

Abstract
Water excretion by the kidney is regulated by the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin through actions in renal collecting duct cells to regulate the water channel protein aquaporin-2. Vasopressin signaling is initiated by binding to a G-protein-coupled receptor called V2R, which signals through heterotrimeric G-protein subunit Gs α, adenylyl cyclase 6, and activation of the cAMP-regulated protein kinase (PKA). Signaling events coupling PKA activation and aquaporin-2 regulation were largely unknown until the advent of modern protein mass spectrometry techniques that allow proteome-wide quantification of protein phosphorylation changes (phosphoproteomics). This short review documents phosphoproteomic findings in collecting duct cells describing the response to V2R-selective vasopressin agonists and antagonists, the response to CRISPR-mediated deletion of PKA, results from in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant PKA, the response to the broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor H89 (N-[2-p-bromocinnamylamino-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide), and the responses underlying lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. These phosphoproteomic data sets have been made available online for modeling vasopressin signaling and signaling downstream from other G-protein-coupled receptors. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: New developments in protein mass spectrometry are facilitating progress in identification of signaling networks. Using mass spectrometry, it is now possible to identify and quantify thousands of phosphorylation sites in a given cell type (phosphoproteomics). The authors describe the use of phosphoproteomics technology to identify signaling mechanisms downstream from a G-protein-coupled receptor, the vasopressin V2 subtype receptor, and its role of the regulation and dysregulation of water excretion in the kidney. Data from multiple phosphoproteomic data sets are provided as web-based resources.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates renal water excretion by binding to a Gα s-coupled receptor (V2R) in collecting duct cells, resulting in increased water permeability through regulation of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel. This action is widely accepted to be associated with cAMP-mediated activation of protein kinase A (PKA). Here, we use phosphoproteomics in collecting duct cells in which PKA has been deleted (CRISPR-Cas9) to identify PKA-independent responses to vasopressin. The results show that V2R-mediated vasopressin signaling is predominantly, but not entirely, PKA-dependent. Upregulated sites in PKA-null cells include Ser256 of AQP2, which is critical to regulation of AQP2 trafficking. In addition, phosphorylation changes in the protein kinases Stk39 (SPAK) and Prkci (an atypical PKC) are consistent with PKA-independent regulation of these protein kinases. Target motif analysis of the phosphopeptides increased in PKA-null cells indicates that vasopressin activates one or more members of the AMPK/SNF1-subfamily of basophilic protein kinases. In vitro phosphorylation assays using recombinant, purified SNF1-subfamily kinases confirmed postulated target specificities. Of interest, measured IBMX-dependent cAMP levels were an order of magnitude higher in PKA-null than in PKA-intact cells, indicative of a PKA-dependent feedback mechanism. Overall, the findings support the conclusion that V2-receptor mediated signaling in collecting duct cells is in part PKA-independent.

Abstract
Prior studies have implicated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in the regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the renal collecting duct. To discover signaling targets of MLCK, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to delete the MLCK gene (Mylk) to obtain MLCK-null mpkCCD cells and carried out comprehensive phosphoproteomics using stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture for quantification. Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy demonstrated a defect in the processing of AQP2-containing early endosomes to late endosomes. The phosphoproteomics experiments revealed that, of the 1,743 phosphopeptides quantified over multiple replicates, 107 were changed in abundance by MLCK deletion (29 decreased and 78 increased). One of the decreased phosphopeptides corresponded to the canonical target site in myosin regulatory light chain. Network analysis indicated that targeted phosphoproteins clustered into distinct structural/functional groups: actomyosin, signaling, nuclear envelope, gene transcription, mRNA processing, energy metabolism, intermediate filaments, adherens junctions, and tight junctions. There was significant overlap between the derived MLCK signaling network and a previously determined PKA signaling network. The presence of multiple proteins in the actomyosin category prompted experiments showing that MLCK deletion inhibits the normal effect of vasopressin to depolymerize F-actin, providing a potential explanation for the AQP2 trafficking defect. Changes in phosphorylation of multiple proteins in the nuclear envelope prompted measurement of nuclear size, showing a significant increase in average nuclear volume. We conclude that MLCK is part of a multicomponent signaling pathway in both the cytoplasm and nucleus that includes much more than simple regulation of conventional nonmuscle myosins through myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation.

Abstract
Depression is a worldwide problem with a great social and economic burden in many countries. In our previous research, we found that the expression of proBDNF/p75NTR/sortilin is upregulated in patients with major depressive disorder. In addition, the treatment of proBDNF antibodies reversed both the depressive behaviors and the reduced BDNF mRNA detected in our rodent chronic stress models. Antidepressant drugs are usually only effective in a subpopulation of patients with major depression with a delayed time window of 2-4 weeks to exert their efficacy. The mechanism underlying such delayed response is not known. In this study, we hypothesize that antidepressant drugs exert their therapeutic effect by modulating proBDNF/p75NTR and mature BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways. To test the hypothesis, C57 mice were randomly divided into normal control, chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), vehicle (VEH), fluoxetine (FLU), and clozapine (CLO) groups. Behavioral tests (sucrose preference, open field, and tail suspension tests) were performed before and after 4 weeks of CUMS. The gene and protein expression of proBDNF, the neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), sortilin, and TrkB in the cortex and hippocampus were examined. At the protein level, CUMS induced a significant increase in proBDNF, p75NTR, and sortilin production while the TrkB protein level was found to be lower in the cortex and hippocampus compared with the control group. Consistently, at the mRNA level, p75NTR expression increased with reduced BDNF/TrkB mRNA in both cortex and hippocampus, while sortilin increased only in the hippocampus after CUMS. FLU and CLO treatments of CUMS mice reversed all protein and mRNA expression of the biomarkers in both cortex and hippocampus, except for sortilin mRNA in the cortex and proBDNF in the hippocampus, respectively. This study further confirms that the imbalance between proBDNF/p75NTR/sortilin and mBDNF/TrkB production is important in the pathogenesis of depression. It is likely that antidepressant FLU and antipsychotic CLO exert their antidepressant-like effect correcting the imbalance between proBDNF/p75NTR/sortilin and mBDNF/TrkB.

Abstract
SUMMARY Identification of the amino-acid motifs in proteins that are targeted for post-translational modifications (PTMs) is of great importance in understanding regulatory networks. Information about targeted motifs can be derived from mass spectrometry data that identify peptides containing specific PTMs such as phosphorylation, ubiquitylation and acetylation. Comparison of input data against a standardized 'background' set allows identification of over- and under-represented amino acids surrounding the modified site. Conventionally, calculation of targeted motifs assumes a random background distribution of amino acids surrounding the modified position. However, we show that probabilities of amino acids depend on (i) the type of the modification and (ii) their positions relative to the modified site. Thus, software that identifies such over- and under-represented amino acids should make appropriate adjustments for these effects. Here we present a new program, PTM-Logo, that generates representations of these amino acid preferences ('logos') based on position-specific amino-acid probability backgrounds calculated either from user-input data or curated databases. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION PTM-Logo is freely available online at http://sysbio.chula.ac.th/PTMLogo/ or https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/PTMLogo/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Lithium salts, used for treating bipolar disorder, frequently induce nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) thereby limiting therapeutic success. NDI is associated with loss of expression of the gene coding for the molecular water channel, aquaporin-2, in the renal collecting duct (CD). Here, we use systems biology methods in a well-established rat model of lithium-induced NDI to identify signaling pathways activated at the onset of polyuria. Using single-tubule RNA-Seq, full transcriptomes were determined in microdissected cortical collecting ducts (CCDs) of rats after 72 hours without or with initiation of lithium chloride administration. Transcriptome-wide changes in mRNA abundances were mapped to gene sets associated with curated canonical signaling pathways, showing evidence for activation of NF-κB signaling with induction of genes coding for multiple chemokines and most components of the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I antigen-presenting complex. Administration of anti-inflammatory doses of dexamethasone to lithium chloride-treated rats countered the loss of aquaporin-2. RNA-Seq also confirmed prior evidence of a shift from quiescence into the cell cycle with arrest. Time course studies demonstrated an early (12 hour) increase in multiple immediate early response genes including several transcription factors. Protein mass spectrometry in microdissected CCDs provided corroborative evidence and identified decreased abundance of several anti-oxidant proteins. Thus, in the context of prior observations, our study can be best explained by a model in which lithium increases ERK activation leading to induction of NF-κB signaling and an inflammatory-like response that represses Aqp2 transcription.

Abstract
IRBIT is a multifunctional protein that controls the activity of various epithelial ion transporters including NBCe1-B. Interaction with IRBIT increases NBCe1-B activity and exposes two cryptic Cl--sensing GXXXP sites that enable regulation of NBCe1-B by intracellular Cl- (Cl- in). Here, phosphoproteomic analysis revealed that IRBIT controlled five phosphorylation sites in NBCe1-B that determined both the active conformation of the transporter and its regulation by Cl- in Mutational analysis suggested that the phosphorylation status of Ser232, Ser233, and Ser235 was regulated by IRBIT and determined whether NBCe1 transporters are in active or inactive conformations. The absence of phosphorylation at Ser232, Ser233, or Ser235 produced NBCe1-B in the conformations pSer233/pSer235, pSer232/pSer235, or pSer232/pSer233, respectively. The activity of the pSer233/pSer235 form was similar to that of IRBIT-activated NBCe1-B, but it was insensitive to inhibition by Cl- in The properties of the pSer232/pSer235 form were similar to those of wild-type NBCe1-B, whereas the pSer232/pSer233 form was partially active, further activated by IRBIT, but retained inhibition by Cl- in Furthermore, IRBIT recruited the phosphatase PP1 and the kinase SPAK to control phosphorylation of Ser65, which affected Cl- in sensing by the 32GXXXP36 motif. IRBIT also recruited the phosphatase calcineurin and the kinase CaMKII to control phosphorylation of Ser12, which affected Cl- in sensing by the 194GXXXP198 motif. Ser232, Ser233, and Ser235 are conserved in all NBCe1 variants and affect their activity. These findings reveal how multiple kinase and phosphatase pathways use phosphorylation sites to fine-tune a transporter, which have important implications for epithelial fluid and HCO3 - secretion.

Abstract
Phosphorylation and lysine (K)-acetylation are dynamic posttranslational modifications of proteins. Previous proteomic studies have identified over 170,000 phosphorylation sites and 15,000 K-acetylation sites in mammals. We recently reported that the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD), which functions in the regulation of water-reabsorption, via the actions of vasopressin, expresses many of the enzymes that can modulated K-acetylation. The purpose of this study was to determine the K-acetylated or phosphorylated proteins expressed in IMCD cells. Second we questioned whether vasopressin V2 receptor activation significantly affects the IMCD acetylome or phosphoproteome? K-acetylated or serine-, threonine-, or tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides were identified from native rat IMCDs by proteomic analysis with four different enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, ASP-N, or Glu-C) to generate a high-resolution proteome. K-acetylation was identified in 431 unique proteins, and 64% of the K-acetylated sites were novel. The acetylated proteins were expressed in all compartments of the cell and were enriched in pathways including glycolysis and vasopressin-regulated water reabsorption. In the vasopressin-regulated water reabsorption pathway, eight proteins were acetylated, including the novel identification of the basolateral water channel, AQP3, acetylated at K282; 215 proteins were phosphorylated in this IMCD cohort, including AQP2 peptides that were phosphorylated at four serines: 256, 261, 264, and 269. Acute dDAVP did not significantly affect the IMCD acetylome; however, it did significantly affect previously known vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites. In conclusion, presence of K-acetylated proteins involved in metabolism, ion, and water transport in the IMCD points to multiple roles of K-acetylation beyond its canonical role in transcriptional regulation.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation (IR) causing damages to Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) constitutes a broad range of base damage and double strand break, and thereby, it induces the operation of relevant signaling pathways such as DNA repair, cell cycle control, and cell apoptosis. The goal of this paper is to study how the exposure to low dose radiation affects the human body by observing the signaling pathway associated with Ataxia Telangiectasia mutated (ATM) using Reverse-Phase Protein Array (RPPA) and isogenic human Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) cells under different amounts and durations of IR exposure. In order to verify which proteins could be involved in a DNA damage-caused pathway, only proteins that highly interact with each other under IR are selected by using correlation coefficient. The pathway inference is derived from learning Bayesian networks in combination with prior knowledge such as Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) and signaling pathways from well-known databases. Learning Bayesian networks is based on a score and search scheme that provides the highest scored network structure given a score function, and the prior knowledge is included in the score function as a prior probability by using Dempster-Shafer theory (DST). In this way, the inferred network can be more likely to be similar to already discovered pathways and consistent with confirmed PPIs for more reliable inference. The experimental results show which proteins are involved in signaling pathways under IR, how the inferred pathways are different under low and high doses of IR, and how the selected proteins regulate each other in the inferred pathways. As our main contribution, overall results confirm that low dose IR could cause DNA damage and thereby induce and affect related signaling pathways such as apoptosis, cell cycle, and DNA repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of lymph node metastasis and the influencing factors in esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS A total of 201 cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma were selected for this study, including 89 cases of pure adenocarcinoma, 57 cases of adenoacanthoma cell carcinoma, 33 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma and 22 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma. A total of 2026 lymph nodes were dissected with an average of 10 lymph nodes. The rule of lymph node metastasis in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma was analyzed, and the risk factors for lymph node metastasis were identified. RESULTS Esophageal adenocarcinoma in the middle thoracic esophagus accounted for 50.7% of all patients, and 43.8% in the lower thoracic esophagus. Ninety out of 201 cases (44.8%) had lymph node metastasis. 322 lymph nodes were positive for metastatic adenocarcioma with a metastatic ratio of 15.9% (322/2026). Among the patients with upper-thoracic esophageal carcinoma, 9.1% (1/11) of the cases had lymph node metastasis in the superior mediastinum but no lymph node metastasis was found in the middle mediastinum, lower mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes. The middle-thoracic esophageal adenocarcinoma showed more extensive lymph node metastasis. Lower mediastinal and abdominal lymph node metastases were common in lower-thoracic esophageal cancer. Multivariate analysis showed that gender, length of lesion, depth of invasion and vascular invasion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in esophageal adenocarcinoma (P=0.010, P=0.006, P=0.000, P=0.019, respectively). Male patients had more lymph node metastasis than female patients (49.1% vs 26.3%,P=0.011). The rates of lymph node metastasis in the tumor length ≤3 cm group, 3.1-5 cm group and >5 cm group were 20.4%, 42.9% and 65.7%, respectively. Lymphatic metastasis rates in the T1, T2, T3, T4 stage cancers were 7.1%, 36.8%, 38.1% and 69.4%, respectively, (P<0.001). Patients with vascular invasion had a higher rate of lymph node metastasis (73.9%) than the patients without vascular invasion (41.0%) (P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Most of the esophageal adenocarcinoma are distributed in the middle thoracic esophagus, followed by that in the lower thoracic segment. The lymph node metastasis rate, lymph node metastasis ratio and pattern of lymph node metastasis are similar to those of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Male, tumor length, depth of invasion and vascular invasion are risk factors of lymph node metastasis for patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Due to recent advances in high-throughput techniques, we and others have generated multiple proteomic and transcriptomic databases to describe and quantify gene expression, protein abundance, or cellular signaling on the scale of the whole genome/proteome in kidney cells. The existence of so much data from diverse sources raises the following question: "How can researchers find information efficiently for a given gene product over all of these data sets without searching each data set individually?" This is the type of problem that has motivated the "Big-Data" revolution in Data Science, which has driven progress in fields such as marketing. Here we present an online Big-Data tool called BIG (Biological Information Gatherer) that allows users to submit a single online query to obtain all relevant information from all indexed databases. BIG is accessible at http://big.nhlbi.nih.gov/.

Abstract
The control of renal water excretion occurs in part by regulation of transcription in response to vasopressin in cells of the collecting duct. A systems biology-based approach to understanding transcriptional control in renal collecting duct cells depends on knowledge of what transcription factors and other regulatory proteins are present in the cells' nuclei. The goal of this article is to report comprehensive proteomic profiling of cellular fractions enriched in nuclear proteins from native inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells of the rat. Multidimensional separation procedures and state-of-the art protein mass spectrometry produced 18 GB of spectral data that allowed the high-stringency identification of 5,048 proteins in nuclear pellet (NP) and nuclear extract (NE) fractions of biochemically isolated rat IMCD cells (URL: https://helixweb.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/IMCD_Nucleus/). The analysis identified 369 transcription factor proteins out of the 1,371 transcription factors coded by the rat genome. The analysis added 1,511 proteins to the recognized proteome of rat IMCD cells, now amounting to 8,290 unique proteins. Analysis of samples treated with the vasopressin analog dDAVP (1 nM for 30 min) or its vehicle revealed 99 proteins in the NP fraction and 88 proteins in the NE fraction with significant changes in spectral counts (Fisher exact test, P < 0.005). Among those altered by vasopressin were seven distinct histone proteins, all of which showed decreased abundance in the NP fraction, consistent with a possible effect of vasopressin to induce chromatin remodeling. The results provide a data resource for future studies of vasopressin-mediated transcriptional regulation in the renal collecting duct.

Abstract
The mouse mpkCCD cell line is a continuous cultured epithelial cell line with characteristics of renal collecting duct principal cells. This line is widely used to study epithelial transport and its regulation. To provide a data resource useful for experimental design and interpretation in studies using mpkCCD cells, we have carried out "deep" proteomic profiling of these cells using three levels of fractionation (differential centrifugation, SDS-PAGE, and HPLC) followed by tandem mass spectrometry to identify and quantify proteins. The analysis of all resulting samples generated 34.6 gigabytes of spectral data. As a result, we identified 6,766 proteins in mpkCCD cells at a high level of stringency. These proteins are expressed over eight orders of magnitude of protein abundance. The data are provided to users as a public data base (https://helixweb.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/mpkFractions/). The mass spectrometry data were mapped back to their gel slices to generate "virtual Western blots" for each protein. For most of the 6,766 proteins, the apparent molecular weight from SDS-PAGE agreed closely with the calculated molecular weight. However, a substantial fraction (>15%) of proteins was found to run aberrantly, with much higher or much lower mobilities than predicted. These proteins were analyzed to identify mechanisms responsible for altered mobility on SDS-PAGE, including high or low isoelectric point, high or low hydrophobicity, physiological cleavage, residence in the lysosome, posttranslational modifications, and expression of alternative isoforms due to alternative exon usage. Additionally, this analysis identified a previously unrecognized isoform of aquaporin-2 with apparent molecular mass <20 kDa.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct through regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). We carried out bioinformatic analysis of quantitative proteomic data from the accompanying article to investigate the mechanisms involved. The experiments used stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture in cultured mpkCCD cells to quantify each protein species in each of five differential-centrifugation (DC) fractions with or without the vasopressin analog 1-desamino-8-d-arginine-vasopressin (dDAVP). The mass spectrometry data and parallel Western blot experiments confirmed that dDAVP addition is associated with an increase in AQP2 abundance in the 17,000-g pellet and a corresponding decrease in the 200,000-g pellet. Remarkably, all subunits of the cytoplasmic ribosome also increased in the 17,000-g pellet in response to dDAVP (P < 10(-34)), with a concomitant decrease in the 200,000-g pellet. Eukaryotic translation initiation complex 3 (eIF3) subunits underwent parallel changes (P < 10(-6)). These findings are consistent with translocation of assembled ribosomes and eIF3 complexes into the rough endoplasmic reticulum in response to dDAVP. Conversely, there was a systematic decrease in small GTPase abundances in the 17,000-g fraction. In contrast, most proteins, including protein kinases, showed no systematic redistribution among DC fractions. Of the 521 protein kinases coded by the mouse genome, 246 were identified, but many fewer were found to colocalize with AQP2 among DC fractions. Bayes' rule was used to integrate the new colocalization data with prior data to identify protein kinases most likely to phosphorylate aquaporin-2 at Ser(256) (Camk2b > Camk2d > Prkaca) and Ser(261) (Mapk1 = Mapk3 > Mapk14).

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related fatalities. Recent success developing genotypically targeted therapies, with potency only in well-defined subpopulations of tumors, suggests a path to improving patient survival. We used a library of oligonucleotide inhibitors of microRNAs, a class of posttranscriptional gene regulators, to identify novel synthetic lethal interactions between miRNA inhibition and molecular mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two inhibitors, those for miR-92a and miR-1226*, produced a toxicity distribution across a panel of 27 cell lines that correlated with loss of p53 protein expression. Notably, depletion of p53 was sufficient to confer sensitivity to otherwise resistant telomerase-immortalized bronchial epithelial cells. We found that both miR inhibitors cause sequence-specific downregulation of the miR-17∼92 polycistron, and this downregulation was toxic only in the context of p53 loss. Mechanistic studies indicated that the selective toxicity of miR-17∼92 polycistron inactivation was the consequence of derepression of vitamin D signaling via suppression of CYP24A1, a rate-limiting enzyme in the 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 metabolic pathway. Of note, high CYP24A1 expression significantly correlated with poor patient outcome in multiple lung cancer cohorts. Our results indicate that the screening approach used in this study can identify clinically relevant synthetic lethal interactions and that vitamin D receptor agonists may show enhanced efficacy in p53-negative lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Recent findings from our lab indicate that metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) activation elicits eating, and the goal of the current study was to specify whether the lateral hypothalamus (LH) is the actual brain site mediating this effect. To examine this issue we injected the selective mGluR group I agonist (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) unilaterally into the LH and surrounding regions (n=5-8 subjects/brain site) of satiated adult male Sprague-Dawley rats and measured elicited feeding. We determined that 1.0 nmol elicited food intake only within the LH. Increasing the dose to 10 or 25 nmol produced a more sustained effect in the LH, and also elicited eating in several other brain sites. These results, demonstrating that the LH mediates the eating elicited by low doses of DHPG, suggest that the LH may contain mGluR whose activation can produce eating behavior.

Abstract
We determined the expression and function of B cell translocation gene 1 (BTG1) in thyroid carcinoma. Thyroid samples were obtained from cancer lesions (n=83) and adjacent normal tissue (n=35) in thyroid cancer patients immediately after endoscopic biopsy. BTG1 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. The effect of BTG1 overexpression was examined in vitro utilizing the human thyroid cancer cell line FTC-133, stably transfected with a recombinant lentivirus (LeBTG1 cells) and compared to empty vector transfected controls (LeEmpty). BTG1 overexpression was verified by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. The expression of proteins involved in cell cycle regulation (cyclin D1), apoptosis (Bcl-2) and cell migration (MMP-9) in LeBTG1 cells was analyzed by western blotting. The effect of BTG1 overexpression on cell viability and proliferation was assessed by MTT assay in LeBTG1 and LeEmpty cells. Flow cytometric analyses were used to evaluate the effect of BTG1 expression on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The migration and invasion potential of LeBTG1 cells was examined by plating cells in Matrigel-coated chambers. BTG1 protein expression was significantly lower in thyroid cancer tissue biopsies compared to normal tissue as measured by immunohistochemistry (36.1 vs. 80.0% of tissues; P<0.05) and western blotting (0.251±0.021 vs. 0.651±0.065; P<0.05). Decreased expression of BTG1 was significantly correlated with thyroid cancer lymph node metastasis, clinical stage and pathological differentiation (P<0.05), as well as with reduced overall 10‑year survival rates compared to patients with higher expression levels (30.2 vs. 66.7%; P<0.05). In vitro analyses revealed that LeBTG1 cells had a reduced survival fraction compared to control LeEmpty cells, with higher rates of apoptosis (11.6±2.1 vs. 2.1±0.4%; P<0.05). The proportion of LeBTG1 cells in G0/G1 stage and S phase was also significantly different from LeEmpty cells (81.8±6.3 and 10.2±1.0%, vs. 62.4±4.9 and 25.5±2.6%, respectively; P<0.05), and the migration and invasion of LeBTG1 cells was significantly impaired with respect to LeEmpty cells (72.0±8.0 and 55.0±7.0 vs. 113.0±16.0 and 89.0±9.0, respectively; P<0.05). These effects were accompanied by decreased protein expression of cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and MMP-9 in LeBTG1 cells (0.234±0.018, 0.209±0.021, 0.155±0.017, respectively) compared to control LeEmpty cells (0.551±0.065, 0.452±0.043, 0.609±0.072, respectively; P<0.05). Reduced BTG1 expression is associated with increased disease severity, suggesting it is a negative regulator of thyroid cancer and can serve as a prognostic indicator.

Abstract
AIMS β-Lapachone (β-lap), a novel radiosensitizer with potent antitumor efficacy alone, selectively kills solid cancers that over-express NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Since breast or other solid cancers have heterogeneous NQO1 expression, therapies that reduce the resistance (e.g., NQO1(low)) of tumor cells will have significant clinical advantages. We tested whether NQO1-proficient (NQO1(+)) cells generated sufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) after β-lap treatment to elicit bystander effects, DNA damage, and cell death in neighboring NQO1(low) cells. RESULTS β-Lap showed NQO1-dependent efficacy against two triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) xenografts. NQO1 expression variations in human breast cancer patient samples were noted, where ~60% cancers over-expressed NQO1, with little or no expression in associated normal tissue. Differential DNA damage and lethality were noted in NQO1(+) versus NQO1-deficient (NQO1(-)) TNBC cells and xenografts after β-lap treatment. β-Lap-treated NQO1(+) cells died by programmed necrosis, whereas co-cultured NQO1(-) TNBC cells exhibited DNA damage and caspase-dependent apoptosis. NQO1 inhibition (dicoumarol) or H2O2 scavenging (catalase [CAT]) blocked all responses. Only NQO1(-) cells neighboring NQO1(+) TNBC cells responded to β-lap in vitro, and bystander effects correlated well with H2O2 diffusion. Bystander effects in NQO1(-) cells in vivo within mixed 50:50 co-cultured xenografts were dramatic and depended on NQO1(+) cells. However, normal human cells in vitro or in vivo did not show bystander effects, due to elevated endogenous CAT levels. Innovation and Conclusions: NQO1-dependent bystander effects elicited by NQO1 bioactivatable drugs (β-lap or deoxynyboquinone [DNQ]) likely contribute to their efficacies, killing NQO1(+) solid cancer cells and eliminating surrounding heterogeneous NQO1(low) cancer cells. Normal cells/tissue are protected by low NQO1:CAT ratios.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MiR-146a exerts negative control on inflammatory responses by suppressing cytokine-induced expression of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) by impairing NF-κB activity and inhibiting the expression of target genes. Recent study suggests that histone deacetylases (HDACs) are involved in the regulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression. Therefore, we determined whether HDAC inhibitors can increase miR-146a expression, thereby inhibiting interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced signaling in osteoarthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (OA-FLS). METHOD MiRNA expression was analyzed using real-time PCR. IL-1β-induced downstream signals and cytokine expression were evaluated using Western blotting and ELISA. Transcription factors regulating promoter activation were identified using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS IL-1β treatment of OA-FLS induced a mild (1.7-fold) increase in miR-146a expression that was unable to appropriately downregulate IRAK1 and TRAF6 expression. HDAC inhibitors, SAHA (vorinostat), and LBH589 (panobinostat) significantly (6.1- and 5.4-fold) elevated miR-146a expression by increasing the binding of the transcription factor NF-κB to the miR-146a promoter, and negatively regulated IL-1β-induced IKK/IκB/p65 phosphorylation signaling and IL-6 secretion. The increase in miR-146a expression induced by the HDAC inhibitors was prevented by transfection of miR-146a inhibitor or HDAC1 (class I HDAC), HDAC4 (class IIa HDAC), and HDAC6 (class IIb HDAC) overexpression, suggesting that they were due to inhibition of HDAC activity. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that HDAC inhibitor treatment in OA-FLS significantly increased miR-146a expression and mediated markedly negative regulation to inhibit IL-1β-induced signaling and cytokine secretion. Our results indicate the potential rationale of anti-inflammatory effects for HDAC inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of personalized medicine is to provide patients optimal drug screening and treatment based on individual genomic or proteomic profiles. Reverse-Phase Protein Array (RPPA) technology offers proteomic information of cancer patients which may be directly related to drug sensitivity. For cancer patients with different drug sensitivity, the proteomic profiling reveals important pathophysiologic information which can be used to predict chemotherapy responses. RESULTS The goal of this paper is to present a framework for personalized medicine using both RPPA and drug sensitivity (drug resistance or intolerance). In the proposed personalized medicine system, the prediction of drug sensitivity is obtained by a proposed augmented naive Bayesian classifier (ANBC) whose edges between attributes are augmented in the network structure of naive Bayesian classifier. For discriminative structure learning of ANBC, local classification rate (LCR) is used to score augmented edges, and greedy search algorithm is used to find the discriminative structure that maximizes classification rate (CR). Once a classifier is trained by RPPA and drug sensitivity using cancer patient samples, the classifier is able to predict the drug sensitivity given RPPA information from a patient. CONCLUSION In this paper we proposed a framework for personalized medicine where a patient is profiled by RPPA and drug sensitivity is predicted by ANBC and LCR. Experimental results with lung cancer data demonstrate that RPPA can be used to profile patients for drug sensitivity prediction by Bayesian network classifier, and the proposed ANBC for personalized cancer medicine achieves better prediction accuracy than naive Bayes classifier in small sample size data on average and outperforms other the state-of-the-art classifier methods in terms of classification accuracy.

Abstract
NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) often exhibits resistance to paclitaxel treatment. Identifying the elements regulating paclitaxel response will advance efforts to overcome such resistance in NSCLC therapy. Using in vitro approaches, we demonstrated that over-expression of the microRNA miR-337-3p sensitizes NCI-H1155 cells to paclitaxel, and that miR-337-3p mimic has a general effect on paclitaxel response in NSCLC cell lines, which may provide a novel adjuvant strategy to paclitaxel in the treatment of lung cancer. By combining in vitro and in silico approaches, we identified STAT3 and RAP1A as direct targets that mediate the effect of miR-337-3p on paclitaxel sensitivity. Further investigation showed that miR-337-3p mimic also sensitizes cells to docetaxel, another member of the taxane family, and that STAT3 levels are significantly correlated with taxane resistance in lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that endogenous STAT3 expression is a determinant of intrinsic taxane resistance in lung cancer. The identification of a miR-337-3p as a modulator of cellular response to taxanes, and STAT3 and RAP1A as regulatory targets which mediate that response, defines a novel regulatory pathway modulating paclitaxel sensitivity in lung cancer cells, which may provide novel adjuvant strategies along with paclitaxel in the treatment of lung cancer and may also provide biomarkers for predicting paclitaxel response in NSCLC.

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to infer the signaling pathway related to lung cancer using Reverse Phase Protein Microarray (RPPM), which provides information on post-translational phosphorylation events. The computational inferring of pathways is obtained by performing Bayesian network in combination with prior knowledge from Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI). A clustering based Linear Programming Relaxation is developed for the searching of optimal networks. The PPI prior knowledge is incorporated into a new scoring function definition based on minimum description length (MDL). In the experiment, we first evaluate the algorithm performance with synthetic networks and associated data. Then we show our signaling network inference for lung cancer using RPPM data. Through the study, we expect to derive new signalling pathways and insight on protein regulatory relationships, which are yet to be known for lung cancer study.

Abstract
In our effort to elucidate the systems biology of the model organism, Escherichia coli, we have developed a mathematical model that simulates the allosteric regulation for threonine biosynthesis pathway starting from aspartate. To achieve this goal, we used kMech, a Cellerator language extension that describes enzyme mechanisms for the mathematical modeling of metabolic pathways. These mechanisms are converted by Cellerator into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) solvable by Mathematica™. In this paper, we describe a more flexible model in Cellerator, which generalizes the Monod, Wyman, Changeux (MWC) model for enzyme allosteric regulation to allow for multiple substrate, activator and inhibitor binding sites. Furthermore, we have developed a model that describes the behavior of the bifunctional allosteric enzyme aspartate kinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I (AKI-HDHI). This model predicts the partition of enzyme activities in the steady state which paves the way for a more generalized prediction of the behavior of bifunctional enzymes.

Abstract
An improved version of quantitative protein array platform utilizing linear Quantum dot signaling for systematically measuring protein levels and phosphorylation states is presented. The signals are amplified linearly by a confocal laser Quantum dot scanner resulting in ~1000-fold more sensitivity than traditional Western blots, but are not linear by the enzyme-based amplification. Software is developed to facilitate the quantitative readouts of signaling network activities. Kinetics of EGFRvIII mutant signaling was analyzed to quantify cross-talks between EGFR and other signaling pathways.

Abstract
Abstract
We are addressing the questions of whether microRNAs (miRNAs) play a functional role in modulating drug sensitivity of lung cancer cells, and whether miRNA expression levels can be manipulated to increase drug sensitivity in lung cancer treatment. Using a combination of in silico and in vitro approaches, we identified miR-337-3p as a modulator of paclitaxel sensitivity in NSCLC cell lines where over-expression of miR-337-3p sensitizes NSCLC NCI-H1155 cells to paclitaxel (>2 fold) and docetaxel (>10 fold) by enhancing taxane-induced mitotic arrest. Of several possible targets of miR-337-3p we found that Stat3 and Rap1A are the direct targets responsible for mediating miR-337-3p sensitization to paclitaxel. In studies of multiple NSCLC lines we found that miR-337-3p can, in general, sensitize NSCLC lines to paclitaxel, and that Stat3 expression is significantly correlated with paclitaxel resistance in NSCLC lines, suggesting that tumor Stat3 expression is an intrinsic determinant and biomarker for paclitaxel response. We conclude we have discovered a novel pathway modulating NSCLC paclitaxel sensitivity, which involves the down-regulation of Stat3 and Rap1A expression by miR-337-3p. These findings have prompted: our ongoing studies of patient samples annotated for miR-337-3p, Stat3, and Rap1A expression and response to taxane therapy; preclinical testing of a miR-337-3p mimic as an adjuvant to taxanes for NSCLC therapy; and further tests of this pathway to provide both new therapeutic targets and biomarkers predictive of response for NSCLC taxane based therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High dose radiation has been well known for increasing the risk of carcinogenesis. However, the understanding of biological effects of low dose radiation is limited. Low dose radiation is reported to affect several signaling pathways including deoxyribonucleic acid repair, survival, cell cycle, cell growth, and cell death. The goal of this study is to reveal the proteomic patterns influencing these pathways. METHODS AND MATERIALS To detect the possibly regulatory proteins/kinases, an emerging reverse-phase protein microarray (RPPM) in conjunction with quantum dots nano-crystal technology is used as a quantitative detection system. The dynamic responses are observed under different time points and radiation doses. To quantitatively determine the responsive protein/kinases and to discover the network motifs, we present a discriminative feature pattern identification system (DFPIS). Instead of simply identifying proteins contributing to the pathways, our methodology takes into consideration of protein dependencies which are represented as strong jumping emerging patterns (SJEPs). Furthermore, infrequent patterns, though occurred, will be considered irrelevant. RESULTS Computational results using DFPIS to analyze ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) cells treated under six different ionizing radiation doses (0cGy, 4cGy, 10cGy, 50cGy, 1Gy, and 5Gy) are presented. For each dose, the dynamic response was observed at different time points (1, 6, 24, 48, and 72h). The sets of different responsive proteins/kinases at different dose are reported. For each dose, the SJEPs for ATM-proficient and ATM-deficient cells are shown and compared. CONCLUSION By using the new RPPM technology and the DFPIS algorithm, we can observe the change of signaling patterns even at a very low radiation dosage where conventional technologies tend to fail.
