Acquisition of resistance to therapies such as platinum salts, the gold standard chemotherapy in NSCLC, is one of the major trick supporting patients’ poor prognosis. Deregulation of splicing patterns as well as of some splicing factors and/or their regulators participate in the process of carcinogenesis and lung tumor progression. However, less is known regarding the contribution of RNA splicing defects to lung tumor escape from therapies.

Then, RNA-seq analysis was performed to predict the potential signaling pathway by which SRPK1 inhibition induces cell death.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>In this study, we demonstrated that SPHINX31 inhibits ATR signaling, the main pathway involved in the management of replicative stress, notably in NSCLC cells with acquired resistance to platinum salts. This leads to cell growth inhibition and enhanced genomic instability. At the molecular level, we demonstrated that SRPK1 is recruited at stalled replication forks upon replicative stress, co-immunoprecipitates with the ATR/ATRIP/TOPBP1 complex and is required for TOPBP1/ATRIP recruitment to chromatin and TOPBP1 nuclear foci formation which contribute to ATR full activation. We further provided evidence that SPHINX31 and SRPK1 regulate the splicing of WIZ, in favor of splice variants involved in ATR activation, thereby identifying both splicing-dependent and -independent functions of SRPK1 by which it controls ATR signaling pathway. Last, we showed that the inhibitory effects of SPHINX31 on ATR are counterbalanced by the activation of DNA-PKcs and we identified a strong synergistic cytotoxic effect of the combination SPHINX31 and DNA-PKcs inhibitor in vitro. We propose that SPHINX31, alone or combined with DNA-PKcs inhibitor, could be benefit for NSCLC patients who relapse after platinum based-chemotherapy (<span>Fig. 1</span>).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusio","PeriodicalId":21548,"journal":{"name":"Revue des maladies respiratoires","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140159988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"MicroRNA-155 differentially regulates IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 expression and signaling that drives abnormal epithelial cells functions in severe asthma","authors":"M. Klein , P.A. Gagnon , M. Salem , M. Rouabhia , J. Chakir","doi":"10.1016/j.rmr.2024.01.015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmr.2024.01.015","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Rationale</h3><p>Asthma is a chronic airway disease characterized by a prevailing type 2 inflammation and airway remodeling. In asthma, microRNA-155 (miR-155) is known to increase in innate and adaptive immune cells and is associated with disease severity. However, little is known about its role in lung structural cells.</p></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><p>This study investigated the expression of miR-155 and its regulatory role on IL-13 receptors and function in bronchial epithelial cells (BEC) isolated from healthy and severe asthmatic donors.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>BECs isolated from healthy donors and severe asthma patients were stimulated with IL-13. MiR-155 expression and release were measured by RT-PCR in BECs and in their derived exosomes. Modulation of miR-155 in BECs was performed using transfection of miR-155 inhibitor and miR-155 mimic. MUC5AC, IL-8 and EOTAXIN-1 expression were measured by RT-PCR and BECs repair process was assessed by wound healing assay. IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 expression and downstream pathways were evaluated by western blot.</p></div><div><h3>Main results</h3><p>Severe asthma BECs showed an increased expression and exosomal release of miR-155 at baseline and amplified following IL-13 stimulation. Additionally, they expressed more IL-13Rα1 and less IL-13Rα2 than healthy BECs. IL-13Rα1 but not IL-13Rα2 induced miR-155 expression. Following miR-155 overexpression, BECs expressed more MUC5AC, IL-8 and EOTAXIN-1 through IL-13Rα1/SOCS1/STAT6 pathway and harbored a delayed repair process with a downregulated IL-13α2/ERK1/2/c-Jun signaling.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>MiR-155 is overexpressed in severe asthma BECs and contributes to modulate IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 expression favoring mucin and eosinophils recruitment to detriment of airway repair. These results contribute to a better understanding of miR-155 role in the abnormal behavior of severe asthma BECs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21548,"journal":{"name":"Revue des maladies respiratoires","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140160087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
