Ayobahan SU, Alvincz J, Reinwald H, Strompen J, Salinas G, Schäfers C, Eilebrecht E, Eilebrecht S. Comprehensive identification of gene expression fingerprints and biomarkers of sexual endocrine disruption in zebrafish embryo. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 250:114514. [PMID: 36608563 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Endocrine disruptors (EDs), capable of modulating the sex hormone system of an organism, can exert long-lasting negative effects on reproduction in both humans and the environment. For these reasons, the properties of EDs prevent a substance from being approved for marketing. However, regulatory testing to evaluate endocrine disruption is time-consuming, costly, and animal-intensive. Here, we combined sublethal zebrafish embryo assays with transcriptomics and proteomics for well-characterized endocrine disrupting reference compounds to identify predictive biomarkers for sexual endocrine disruption in this model. Using RNA and protein gene expression fingerprints from two different sublethal exposure concentrations, we identified specific signatures and impaired biological processes induced by ethinylestradiol, tamoxifen, methyltestosterone and flutamide 96 h post fertilization (hpf). Our study promotes vtg1 as well as cyp19a1b, fam20cl, lhb, lpin1, nr1d1, fbp1b, and agxtb as promising biomarker candidates for identifying and differentiating estrogen and androgen receptor agonism and antagonism. Evaluation of these biomarkers for pre-regulatory zebrafish embryo-based bioassays will help identify endocrine disrupting hazards of compounds at the molecular level. Such approaches additionally provide weight-of-evidence for the identification of putative EDs and may contribute significantly to a reduction in animal testing in higher tier studies.

Abstract
Myc is a powerful transcription factor implicated in epigenetic reprogramming, cellular plasticity, and rapid growth as well as tumorigenesis. Cancer in skeletal muscle is extremely rare despite marked and sustained Myc induction during loading-induced hypertrophy. Here, we investigated global, actively transcribed, stable, and myonucleus-specific transcriptomes following an acute hypertrophic stimulus in mouse plantaris. With these datasets, we define global and Myc-specific dynamics at the onset of mechanical overload-induced muscle fiber growth. Data collation across analyses reveals an under-appreciated role for the muscle fiber in extracellular matrix remodeling during adaptation, along with the contribution of mRNA stability to epigenetic-related transcript levels in muscle. We also identify Runx1 and Ankrd1 (Marp1) as abundant myonucleus-enriched loading-induced genes. We observed that a strong induction of cell cycle regulators including Myc occurs with mechanical overload in myonuclei. Additionally, in vivo Myc-controlled gene expression in the plantaris was defined using a genetic muscle fiber-specific doxycycline-inducible Myc-overexpression model. We determined Myc is implicated in numerous aspects of gene expression during early-phase muscle fiber growth. Specifically, brief induction of Myc protein in muscle represses Reverbα, Reverbβ, and Myh2 while increasing Rpl3, recapitulating gene expression in myonuclei during acute overload. Experimental, comparative, and in silico analyses place Myc at the center of a stable and actively transcribed, loading-responsive, muscle fiber-localized regulatory hub. Collectively, our experiments are a roadmap for understanding global and Myc-mediated transcriptional networks that regulate rapid remodeling in postmitotic cells. We provide open webtools for exploring the five RNA-seq datasets as a resource to the field.

Estrogen Regulates the Expression and Localization of YAP in the Uterus of Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179772. [PMID: 36077170 PMCID: PMC9456404 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23179772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The dynamics of uterine endometrium is important for successful establishment and maintenance of embryonic implantation and development, along with extensive cell differentiation and proliferation. The tissue event is precisely and complicatedly regulated as several signaling pathways are involved including two main hormones, estrogen and progesterone signaling. We previously showed a novel signaling molecule, Serine/threonine protein kinase 3/4 (STK3/4), which is responded to hormone in the mouse uterine epithelium. However, the role and regulation of its target, YES-associated protein (YAP) remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the expression and regulation of YAP in mouse endometrium. We found that YAP was periodically expressed in the endometrium during the estrous cycle. Furthermore, periodic expression of YAP was shown to be related to the pathway under hormone treatment. Interestingly, estrogen was shown to positively modulate YAP via endometrial epithelial receptors. In addition, the knockdown of YAP showed that YAP regulated various target genes in endometrial cells. The knockdown of YAP down-regulated numerous targets including ADAMTS1, AMOT, AMOTL1, ANKRD1, CTNNA1, MCL1. On the other hand, the expressions of AREG and AXL were increased by its knockdown. These findings imply that YAP responds via Hippo signaling under various intrauterine signals and is considered to play a role in the expression of factors important for uterine endometrium dynamic regulation.

Abstract
The uterus is essential for embryo implantation and fetal development. During the estrous cycle, the uterine endometrium undergoes dramatic remodeling to prepare for pregnancy. Angiogenesis is an essential biological process in endometrial remodeling. Steroid hormones regulate the series of events that occur during such remodeling. Researchers have investigated the potential factors, including angiofactors, involved in endometrial remodeling. The Hippo signaling pathway discovered in the 21st century, plays important roles in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation and cell death. However, its role in the endometrium remains unclear. In this review, we describe the female reproductive system and its association with the Hippo signaling pathway, as well as novel Hippo pathway genes and potential target genes.

Abstract
1. Chicken muscle is an important factor in meat quality and its development is controlled by a complex regulatory network.2. The following study examined the expression of miR-30a-3p in Gushi chicken breast muscle tissue and found that it was differentially expressed at different embryonic stages, reaching a peak in the 14-day-old embryo (E14).3. The effect of miR-30a-3p on chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs) was explored. Results from both cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) showed that this can inhibit the proliferation of myoblasts, and through cell cycle experiments, the inhibition of myoblast proliferation was found, which may be due to G0/G1 arrest in the cell cycle.4. The effect of miR-30a-3p on the differentiation of myoblasts was studied. The results showed that miR-30a-3p can promote the expression of MYOD, myogenin (MYOG), and myosin heavy chain (MYHC) genes to promote the differentiation of myoblasts. Through MYHC protein immunofluorescence experiments, it was found that miR-30a-3p can effectively increase the area of myotubes.5. Finally, mRNA transcriptome data was analysed, which showed that miR-30a-3p has 51 potential target genes. Among them, forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1), and insulin-induced 1 (INSIG1) genes were differentially expressed at different developmental stages and were enriched in Gene Ontology (GO) terms, such as cell differentiation and cellular developmental process. The data showed that tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein gamma (YWHAG), BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase (BUB1), and growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible 45 (GADD45) genes were enriched in the cell cycle pathway.6. It can be speculated that miR-30a-3p plays roles through these genes in myoblast development. This research provides information for further improving knowledge of the chicken muscle development regulation network.

Abstract
CONTEXT Normal-weight women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may have adipose tissue insulin resistance (adipose-IR). OBJECTIVE To examine whether adipose-IR and subcutaneous (SC) abdominal adipose stem cell (ASC) gene expression are altered in normal-weight women with PCOS and correlated with hyperandrogenemia and/or whole-body IR. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENTS Ten normal-weight women with PCOS and 18 control subjects matched for age and body mass index. INTERVENTION(S) Women underwent circulating hormone and metabolic measurements, IV glucose tolerance testing, total-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and SC abdominal fat biopsy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Adipose-IR (fasting insulin × total fatty acid levels) and SC abdominal ASC gene expression were compared between groups and correlated with clinical outcomes. RESULTS Adipose-IR was greater in women with PCOS than in control subjects (P < 0.01), with 29 pmol/L × mmol/L providing 94% specificity and 80% sensitivity in discriminating the two groups (P < 0.001). Adipose-IR positively correlated with serum androgen and log of fasting triglyceride (TG) levels, percentage of small adipocytes (P < 0.01, all correlations), and acute insulin response to glucose (P < 0.05); and negatively correlated with insulin sensitivity (Si; P < 0.025) and serum adiponectin levels (P < 0.05). Adjusting for serum androgens, adipose-IR correlations with Si and log TG levels remained significant. ASC genes were differentially expressed by the two groups. Expression of functionally critical genes was associated with serum testosterone and/or fasting insulin levels. CONCLUSION Normal-weight women with PCOS have increased adipose-IR and altered ASC gene expression related to hyperandrogenism and IR.

Abstract
One critical determinant of levels of gene expression is binding of transcription factors to cognate DNA sequences in promoter and enhancer regions of target genes. Transcription factors are DNA-binding proteins to which transcriptional co-regulators are bound, ultimately resulting in histone modifications that change chromatin structure to regulate transcription. Examples of transcription factors include hormone-activated transcription factors such as the glucocorticoid receptor, transcription factors regulated by cell surface receptors such as FOXO1 and Smad2/Smad3, and many others. Promoter regions typically contain multiple, diverse transcription factor-binding sites. Binding sites for cell-type-specific transcription factors involved in cell fate determination such as Runx2, MyoD, or myogenin are frequently observed. Promoter regions are located within ~2 kb upstream of the transcriptional start site, whereas enhancers may be located at some distance from promoter sequences and exert long-range effects. Here, we will discuss classical and emerging technologies by which one can understand the role of binding of specific transcription factors in regulation of transcription of FOXO genes.

Abstract
Neuromuscular impairment and reduced musculoskeletal integrity are hallmarks of spinal cord injury (SCI) that hinder locomotor recovery. These impairments are precipitated by the neurological insult and resulting disuse, which has stimulated interest in activity-based physical rehabilitation therapies (ABTs) that promote neuromuscular plasticity after SCI. However, ABT efficacy declines as SCI severity increases. Additionally, many men with SCI exhibit low testosterone, which may exacerbate neuromusculoskeletal impairment. Incorporating testosterone adjuvant to ABTs may improve musculoskeletal recovery and neuroplasticity because androgens attenuate muscle loss and the slow-to-fast muscle fiber-type transition after SCI, in a manner independent from mechanical strain, and promote motoneuron survival. These neuromusculoskeletal benefits are promising, although testosterone alone produces only limited functional improvement in rodent SCI models. In this review, we discuss the (1) molecular deficits underlying muscle loss after SCI; (2) independent influences of testosterone and locomotor training on neuromuscular function and musculoskeletal integrity post-SCI; (3) hormonal and molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of these strategies; and (4) evidence supporting a multimodal strategy involving ABT with adjuvant testosterone, as a potential means to promote more comprehensive neuromusculoskeletal recovery than either strategy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease. A subset of patients with AD are susceptible to disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, a complication termed eczema herpeticum (ADEH+). The immune mechanisms causing ADEH+ remain elusive. Using RNA sequencing, we recently found that ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1) was significantly induced in human PBMCs upon HSV-1 stimulation, and its induction in patients with ADEH+ was significantly reduced compared with that seen in AD patients without a history of eczema herpeticum (ADEH-). OBJECTIVE We sought to validate ANKRD1 gene expression in nonatopic (NA) subjects, patients with ADEH-, and patients with ADEH+ and to delineate the biological function of ANKRD1 and the signaling pathway or pathways involved. METHODS Purification of human PBMCs, monocytes, B cells, dendritic cells, T cells, and natural killer cells; RNA extraction and quantitative RT-PCR; small interfering RNA technique; co-immunoprecipitation; and Western blot assays were used. RESULTS ANKRD1 expression was significantly reduced in PBMCs from patients with ADEH+ after HSV-1 stimulation compared with PBMCs from patients with ADEH-. We found that the induction of ANKRD1 by HSV-1 and multiple pattern recognition receptor agonists are mediated by inflammatory cytokines. Silencing ANKRD1 gene expression in antigen-presenting cells led to increased viral load and reduced IFNB1 and IL29 production. Using co-immunoprecipitation methods, we demonstrated that ANKRD1 formed protein complexes with interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 3 and IRF7, which are important transcription factors regulating signaling transduction of pattern recognition receptors. Overexpression of ANKRD1 enhanced the IRF3-mediated signaling pathways. CONCLUSION ANKRD1 is involved in IRF3-mediated antiviral innate immune signaling pathways. Its reduced expression in patients with ADEH+ might contribute to the pathogenesis of ADEH+.

Abstract
The histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferase Setdb1 is essential for both stem cell pluripotency and terminal differentiation of different cell types. To shed light on the roles of Setdb1 in these mutually exclusive processes, we used mouse skeletal myoblasts as a model of terminal differentiation. Ex vivo studies on isolated single myofibres showed that Setdb1 is required for adult muscle stem cells expansion following activation. In vitro studies in skeletal myoblasts confirmed that Setdb1 suppresses terminal differentiation. Genomic binding analyses showed a release of Setdb1 from selected target genes upon myoblast terminal differentiation, concomitant to a nuclear export of Setdb1 to the cytoplasm. Both genomic release and cytoplasmic Setdb1 relocalisation during differentiation were dependent on canonical Wnt signalling. Transcriptomic assays in myoblasts unravelled a significant overlap between Setdb1 and Wnt3a regulated genetic programmes. Together, our findings revealed Wnt-dependent subcellular relocalisation of Setdb1 as a novel mechanism regulating Setdb1 functions and myogenesis.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is highly dependent on host proteins for its own propagation. By transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis, we identified 30 host genes that were significantly differentially expressed in cell culture-grown HCV (HCVcc)-infected cells. Of these candidate genes, we selected and characterized ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1). Here, we showed that protein expression of ANKRD1 was up-regulated in HCVcc-infected cells. We further showed that protein expression level of ANKRD1 was increased by nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein. ANKRD1 specifically interacted with NS5A both in vitro and coimmunoprecipitation assays. Protein interaction was mediated through the domain II of NS5A and the C-terminal region of ANKRD1. Promoter activity of ANKRD1 was also increased by NS5A protein. Moreover, up-regulation of ANKRD1 expression was mediated through alteration in intracellular calcium homeostasis and ER stress in HCVcc-infected cells. We showed that silencing of ANKRD1 impaired HCV propagation without affecting HCV replication. By using HCV-like infectious particle (HCV-LP), we demonstrated that HCV single-cycle infection was drastically impaired in ANKRD1 knockdown cells. Finally, we verified that ANKRD1 was required for HCV entry. These data suggest that HCV coopts ANKRD1 for its own propagation and up-regulation of ANKRD1 may contribute to HCV-mediated liver pathogenesis.
