Abstract
Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a pulmonary malignant disease that poses a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Previous study indicated that ORC1 plays an oncogenic function. However, the precise regulatory function that ORC1 serves in the progression of LUAD is still not clearly known. Methods Bioinformatics analyses were performed using TCGA and GEO datasets. The human LUAD cell line NCIH1355, NCIH1568 as well as BEAS-2B cell line (human normal lung epithelial cell) were utilized for in vitro study. LUAD cell proliferation were determined via CCK-8 assays and RT-qPCR for ki-67. The relation of ORC1 and SLC7A11 was detected by Western blot and qPCR with or without sh-RNA. The expression level ACSL4, the biomarker of ferroptosis, were detected using RT-qPCR. Results ORC1 and SLC7A11 exhibit high expression levels in both LUAD patients and cell lines, and are strongly associated with poor prognosis. In vitro experiments demonstrate that ORC1 and SLC7A11 promote proliferation of LUAD cell lines while inhibiting gefitinib-induced ferroptosis. Additionally, the function of ORC1 in LUAD cells is dependent on SLC7A11. Conclusion ORC1 promotes LUAD cell proliferation and inhibits ferroptosis in a SLC7A11-dependent manner. This implies that ORC1 could potentially serve as a useful diagnosis biomarker and treatment target.

Systemic analysis of the DNA replication regulator origin recognition complex in lung adenocarcinomas identifies prognostic and expression significance. Cancer Med 2023; 12:5035-5054. [PMID: 36205357 PMCID: PMC9972100 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.5238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA replication alteration is a hallmark of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and is frequently observed in LUAD progression. Origin recognition complex (ORC) 1, ORC2, ORC3, ORC4, ORC5, and ORC6 form a replication-initiator complex to mediate DNA replication, which plays a key role in carcinogenesis, while their roles in LUAD remain poorly understood. METHODS The mRNA and protein expression of ORCs was confirmed by the GEPIA, HPA, CPTAC, and TCGA databases. The protein-protein interaction network was analyzed by the GeneMANIA database. Functional enrichment was confirmed by the Metascape database. The effects of ORCs on immune infiltration were validated by the TIMER database. The prognostic significance of ORCs in LUAD was confirmed by the KM-plot and GENT2 databases. DNA alteration and protein structure were determined in the cBioProtal and PDB databases. Moreover, the protein expression and prognostic value of ORCs were confirmed in our LUAD data sets by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. RESULTS ORC mRNA and protein were significantly increased in patients with LUAD compared with corresponding normal tissue samples. The results of IHC staining analysis were similar result to those of the above bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, ORC1 and ORC6 had significant prognostic values for LUAD patients. Furthermore, the ORC cooperatively promoted LUAD development by driving DNA replication, cellular senescence, and metabolic processes. CONCLUSION The ORC, especially ORC1/6, has important prognostic and expression significance for LUAD patients.

Melatonin improves the first cleavage of parthenogenetic embryos from vitrified-warmed mouse oocytes potentially by promoting cell cycle progression. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2021; 12:84.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the effect of melatonin (MT) on cell cycle (G1/S/G2/M) of parthenogenetic zygotes developed from vitrified-warmed mouse metaphase II (MII) oocytes and elucidated the potential mechanism of MT action in the first cleavage of embryos. Results After vitrification and warming, oocytes were parthenogenetically activated (PA) and in vitro cultured (IVC). Then the spindle morphology and chromosome segregation in oocytes, the maternal mRNA levels of genes including Miss, Doc1r, Setd2 and Ythdf2 in activated oocytes, pronuclear formation, the S phase duration in zygotes, mitochondrial function at G1 phase, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level at S phase, DNA damage at G2 phase, early apoptosis in 2-cell embryos, cleavage and blastocyst formation rates were evaluated. The results indicated that the vitrification/warming procedures led to following perturbations 1) spindle abnormalities and chromosome misalignment, alteration of maternal mRNAs and delay in pronucleus formation, 2) decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and lower adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, increased ROS production and DNA damage, G1/S and S/G2 phase transition delay, and delayed first cleavage, and 3) increased early apoptosis and lower levels of cleavage and blastocyst formation. Our results further revealed that such negative impacts of oocyte cryopreservation could be alleviated by supplementation of warming, recovery, PA and IVC media with 10− 9 mol/L MT before the embryos moved into the 2-cell stage of development. Conclusions MT might promote cell cycle progression via regulation of MMP, ATP, ROS and maternal mRNA levels, potentially increasing the first cleavage of parthenogenetic zygotes developed from vitrified–warmed mouse oocytes and their subsequent development.

Abstract
The conservation of orthologs of most subunits of the origin recognition complex (ORC) has served to propose that the whole complex is common to all eukaryotes. However, various uncertainties have arisen concerning ORC subunit composition in a variety of lineages. Also, it is unclear whether the ancestral diversification of ORC in eukaryotes was accompanied by the neofunctionalization of some subunits, for example, role of ORC1 in centriole homeostasis. We have addressed these questions by reconstructing the distribution and evolutionary history of ORC1-5/CDC6 in a taxon-rich eukaryotic data set. First, we identified ORC subunits previously undetected in divergent lineages, which allowed us to propose a series of parsimonious scenarios for the origin of this multiprotein complex. Contrary to previous expectations, we found a global tendency in eukaryotes to increase or decrease the number of subunits as a consequence of genome duplications or streamlining, respectively. Interestingly, parasites show significantly lower number of subunits than free-living eukaryotes, especially those with the lowest genome size and gene content metrics. We also investigated the evolutionary origin of the ORC1 role in centriole homeostasis mediated by the PACT region in human cells. In particular, we tested the consequences of reducing ORC1 levels in the centriole-containing green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We found that the proportion of centrioles to flagella and nuclei was not dramatically affected. This, together with the PACT region not being significantly more conserved in centriole-bearing eukaryotes, supports the notion that this neofunctionalization of ORC1 would be a recent acquisition rather than an ancestral eukaryotic feature.

Abstract
The Origin Replication Complex (ORC), which is a multi-subunit protein complex composed of six proteins ORC1-6, is essential for initiating licensing at DNA replication origins. We have previously reported that ORC4 has an alternative function wherein it forms a cage surrounding the extruded chromatin in female meiosis and is required for polar body extrusion (PBE). As this is a highly unexpected finding for protein that normally binds DNA, we tested whether ORC4 can actually form larger, higher order structures, which would be necessary to form a cage-like structure. We generated two fluorescent constructs of mouse ORC4, mORC4-EGFP and mORC4-FlAsH, to examine its spatial dynamics during oocyte activation in live cells. We show that both constructs were primarily monomeric throughout the embryo but self-association into larger units was detected with both probes. However, mORC4-FlAsH clearly showed higher order self-association and unique spatial distribution while mORC4-EGFP failed to form large structures during Anaphase II. Interestingly, both variants were found in the pronuclei suggesting that its role in DNA licensing is still functional. Our results with both constructs support the prediction that ORC4 can form higher order structures in the cytoplasm, suggesting that it is possible to form a cage-like structure. The finding that FlAsH labeled ORC4 formed demonstrably larger higher order structures than ORC4-GFP suggests that ORC4 oligomerization is sensitive to the bulky addition of GFP at its carboxy terminus.

Abstract
Origin recognition complex (ORC), a heteromeric six-subunit complex, is the central component of the eukaryotic pre-replication complex. Recent data from yeast, frogs, flies and mammals present compelling evidence that ORC and its individual subunits have nonreplicative functions as well. The majority of these functions, such as heterochromatin formation, chromosome condensation, and segregation are dependent on ORC-DNA interactions. Furthermore, ORC is involved in the control of cell division via its participation in centrosome duplication and cytokinesis. Recent findings have also demonstrated a direct interaction between ORC and mRNPs and highlighted an essential role of ORC in mRNA nuclear export. Along with the growth of evolutionary complexity of organisms, ORC complex functions become more elaborate and new functions of the ORC sub-complexes and individual subunits have emerged.

Abstract
The B6.YTIR (XY) mouse develops bilateral ovaries despite the expression of the testis-determining gene Sry during gonadal differentiation. We reported that the oocytes of the XY female are defective in their cytoplasm, resulting in a failure in the second meiotic division after activation or fertilization in vitro. However, the mechanism of meiotic failure or the cause of infertility remained to be clarified. In the present study, we obtained mature oocytes from XY females by superovulation and confirmed that these oocytes also fail in zygotic development. By using confocal microscopy 3D-analysis, we demonstrated that meiotic spindles were properly positioned and oriented in the MII-oocytes from XY females. After parthenogenic activation, fewer oocytes from XY females extruded the second polar body, and in those oocytes, sister-chromatids were often separated but neither set entered the second polar body. ARP2, F-actin, and ORC4, known to play roles in asymmetric meiotic division, were initially localized along the ooplasmic membrane and concentrated over the MII-spindle but lost their cortical polarity after activation while the sister-chromatids moved away from the oolemma in the oocytes from XY females. Our results indicate that the second polar body extrusion is uncoupled from the sister-chromatids separation in the oocytes from XY female mouse.
