Abstract
The Alternative splicing (AS) of Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1a) and their expression profiles had never been illuminated in goats until now. Herein, a novel splice transcript in the CPT1a gene that is predicted to result in the skipping of exons 6-19 (CPT1a-sv1) has been isolated in addition to the full-length transcript in goats. The result of RT-PCR showed that CPT1a-sv1 is 606 bp in length and consists of 6 exons. A novel exon 6 was consisted of partial exon 5 and partial exon 19, compared to that in CPT1a. RT-qPCR analysis showed that the expression patterns of CPT1a and CPT1a-sv1 are spatially different. In both kid and adult goats, the CPT1a transcript is strongly expressed in the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and brain tissues. However, CPT1a-sv1 has a strong tissue-specific expression pattern, with moderate RNA levels in the liver and brain of kids, while highly expressed in the liver and minimally expressed in the brain of adults. We observed two transcripts to be involved in brain development. These findings improve our understanding of the function of the CPT1a gene in goats and provide information on the molecular mechanism of AS events.

[PMID: 35672728 PMCID: PMC9175347 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09699-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Eukaryotic translation elongation factors 1 δ (EEF1D), has garnered much attention with regards to their role in the drug resistance of cancers. In this paper, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of increasing the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin or cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (DDP) by knockdown and knockout of EEF1D gene in cellular and animal models. Methods The EEF1D gene was knocked-down or -out by siRNA or CRISPR/Cas9 respectively in human ovarian cancer cell SKOV3, DDP-resistant subline SKOV3/DDP, and EEF1D gene in human primary ovarian cancer cell from 5 ovarian cancer patients with progressive disease/stable disease (PD/SD) was transiently knocked down by siRNA interference. The mice model bearing xenografted tumor was established with subcutaneous inoculation of SKOV3/DDP. Results The results show that reducing or removing EEF1D gene expression significantly increased the sensitivity of human ovarian cancer cells to DDP in inhibiting viability and inducing apoptosis in vitro and in vivo, and also boosted DDP to inhibit xenografted tumor growth. Interfering with EEF1D gene expression in mice xenografted tumor significantly affected the levels of OPTN, p-Akt, Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and ERCC1 compared to DDP treated mice alone, and had less effect on PI3K, Akt and caspase-3. Conclusions The knocking down or out EEF1D gene expression could enhance the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to DDP partially, which may be achieved via inactivating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thus inducing cell apoptosis and decreasing repairment of DNA damage. Our study provides a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Interaction of melatonin and Bmal1 in the regulation of PI3K/AKT pathway components and cellular survival. Sci Rep 2019; 9:19082. [PMID: 31836786 PMCID: PMC6910929 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55663-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The circadian rhythm is driven by a master clock within the suprachiasmatic nucleus which regulates the rhythmic secretion of melatonin. Bmal1 coordinates the rhythmic expression of transcriptome and regulates biological activities, involved in cell metabolism and aging. However, the role of Bmal1 in cellular- survival, signaling, its interaction with intracellular proteins, and how melatonin regulates its expression is largely unclear. Here we observed that melatonin increases the expression of Bmal1 and both melatonin and Bmal1 increase cellular survival after oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) while the inhibition of Bmal1 resulted in the decreased cellular survival without affecting neuroprotective effects of melatonin. By using a planar surface immunoassay for PI3K/AKT signaling pathway components, we revealed that both melatonin and Bmal1 increased phosphorylation of AKT, ERK-1/2, PDK1, mTOR, PTEN, GSK-3αβ, and p70S6K. In contrast, inhibition of Bmal1 resulted in decreased phosphorylation of these proteins, which the effect of melatonin on these signaling molecules was not affected by the absence of Bmal1. Besides, the inhibition of PI3K/AKT decreased Bmal1 expression and the effect of melatonin on Bmal1 after both OGD in vitro and focal cerebral ischemia in vivo. Our data demonstrate that melatonin controls the expression of Bmal1 via PI3K/AKT signaling, and Bmal1 plays critical roles in cellular survival via activation of survival kinases.

Abstract
Abstract. As the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the peroxisomal β-oxidation
pathway, acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1), which is regulated by peroxisome
proliferator-activated alfa (PPARα), is vital for fatty acid
oxidation and deposition, especially in the lipid metabolism of very
long-chain fatty acids. Alternative splicing events of ACOX1 have been
detected in rodents, Nile tilapia, zebra fish and humans but not in goats.
Herein, we identified a novel splice variant of the ACOX1 gene,
which was designated as ACOX1-SV1, in addition to the complete transcript,
ACOX1, in goats. The length of the ACOX1-SV1 coding sequence was 1983 bp,
which presented a novel exon 2 variation owing to alternative 5′-splice
site selection in exon 2 and partial intron 1, compared to that in ACOX1. The
protein sequence analysis indicated that ACOX1-SV1 was conserved across
different species. Reverse-transcription quantitative real-time polymerase
chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that these two isoforms were
expressed spatially and differently in different tissue types. ACOX1 and
ACOX1-SV1 were expressed at high levels in liver, spleen, brain and adipose
tissue in kid goats, and they were abundantly expressed in the fat, liver and
spleen of adults. Interestingly, whether in kids or in adults, in fat, the
mRNA level of ACOX1 was considerably higher than that of ACOX1-SV1. In
contrast, in the liver, the expression of ACOX1-SV1 was considerably higher
than that of ACOX1. This differential expression patterns showed the
existence of a tissue-dependent splice regulation. These novel findings for
ACOX1 should provide new insights for further studies on the function of
ACOX1 and its variants that should aid in the breeding of goats with improved
meat quality.
