- Three human cell types respond to multi-walled carbon nanotubes and titanium dioxide nanobelts with cell-specific transcriptomic and proteomic expression patterns.
- Tilton SC1, Karin NJ, Tolic A, Xie Y, Lai X, Hamilton RF Jr, Waters KM, Holian A, Witzmann FA, Orr G.Author information 1Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, and Fundamental & Computational Sciences Directorate, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory , Richland, WA , USA.AbstractThe growing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in commercial and medical applications raises the urgent need for tools that can predict NP toxicity. Global transcriptome and proteome analyses were conducted on three human cell types, exposed to two high aspect ratio NP types, to identify patterns of expression that might indicate high versus low NP toxicity. Three cell types representing the most common routes of human exposure to NPs, including macrophage-like (THP-1), small airway epithelial and intestinal (Caco-2/HT29-MTX) cells, were exposed to TiO2 nanobelts (TiO2-NB; high toxicity) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT; low toxicity) at low (10 µg/mL) and high (100 µg/mL) concentrations for 1 and 24 h. Unique patterns of gene and protein expressions were identified for each cell type, with no differentially expressed (p < 0.05, 1.5-fold change) genes or proteins overlapping across all three cell types. While unique to each cell type, the early response was primarily independent of NP type, showing similar expression patterns in response to both TiO2-NB and MWCNT. The early response might, therefore, indicate a general response to insult. In contrast, the 24 h response was unique to each NP type. The most significantly (p < 0.05) enriched biological processes in THP-1 cells indicated TiO2-NB regulation of pathways associated with inflammation, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, DNA replication stress and genomic instability, while MWCNT-regulated pathways indicated increased cell proliferation, DNA repair and anti-apoptosis. These two distinct sets of biological pathways might, therefore, underlie cellular responses to high and low NP toxicity, respectively.

- Endocan elicits severe vascular inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo.
- Lee W1, Ku SK, Kim SW, Bae JS.Author information 1College of Pharmacy, CMRI, Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Republic of Korea; Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Republic of Korea.AbstractEndocan is a proteoglycan secreted by endothelial cells under the control of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of endocan on proinflammatory responses and on septic mice and underlying mechanisms. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) or mice were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endocan with or without neutralizing endocan antibody. Mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery with or without neutralizing endocan antibody. Endocan was highly released by LPS and it enhanced proinflammatory responses. In a CLP-induced sepsis model, endocan was also highly released, but this release was prevented by administration of neutralizing endocan antibody. Circulating levels of endocan measured in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis were significantly elevated compared with control donors. Furthermore, the administration of endocan antibody reduced CLP-induced sepsis mortality. This study shows endocan can elicit severe inflammatory responses and inhibiting endocan release offers a potential strategy for treating sepsis.

- Nonredundant function of two highly homologous octopamine receptors in food-deprivation-mediated signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans.
- Yoshida M1, Oami E, Wang M, Ishiura S, Suo S.Author information 1Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.AbstractIt is common for neurotransmitters to possess multiple receptors that couple to the same intracellular signaling molecules. This study analyzes two highly homologous G-protein-coupled octopamine receptors using the model animal Caenorhabditis elegans. In C. elegans, the amine neurotransmitter octopamine induces activation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in the cholinergic SIA neurons in the absence of food through activation of the Gq-coupled octopamine receptor SER-3 in these neurons. We also analyzed another Gq-coupled octopamine receptor, SER-6, that is highly homologous to SER-3. As seen in ser-3 deletion mutants, octopamine- and food-deprivation-mediated CREB activation was decreased in ser-6 deletion mutants compared with wild-type animals, suggesting that both SER-3 and SER-6 are required for signal transduction. Cell-specific expression of SER-6 in the SIA neurons was sufficient to restore CREB activation in the ser-6 mutants, indicating that SER-6, like SER-3, functions in these neurons. Taken together, these results demonstrate that two similar G-protein-coupled receptors, SER-3 and SER-6, function in the same cells in a nonredundant manner. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
