Despite the high binding specificity of ICG- 001 for the N-terminus of CBP, this β-catenin/CBP antagonist exhibits pleiotropic effects. Our recent studies found global changes in three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture in response to disruption of the β-catenin/CBP interaction in pancreatic cancer cells. However, an understanding of the functional crosstalk between antagonizing the β-catenin/CBP interaction effect changes in 3D chromatin architecture and thereby gene expression and downstream effects remains to be elucidated. Here we perform Hi-C analyses on canonical and patient-derived pancreatic cancer cells before and after the treatment with ICG-001. In addition to global alteration of 3D chromatin domains, we unexpectedly identify insulin signaling genes enriched in the altered chromatin domains. We further demonstrate the chromatin loops associated with insulin signaling genes are significantly weakened after ICG-001 treatment. We finally elicit the deletion of a looping of IRS1, a key insulin signaling gene, significantly impede pancreatic cancer cell growth, indicating that looping-mediated insulin signaling might act as an oncogenic pathway to promote pancreatic cancer progression. Our work shows that targeting aberrant insulin chromatin looping in pancreatic cancer might provide a therapeutic benefit.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"29 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a murine model of P. aeruginosa CAUTI, we previously demonstrated that urea within urine suppresses quorum sensing and induces the Entner-Douderoff (E-D) pathway. The E-D pathway consists of the genes zwf , pgl , edd , and eda . Zwf and Pgl convert glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconate. Edd hydrolyzes 6-phosphogluconate to 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG). Finally, Eda cleaves KDPG to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and pyruvate, which enters the citric acid cycle. Here, we generated in-frame E-D mutants in strain PA14 and assessed their growth phenotypes on chemically defined media. These E-D mutants have a growth defect when grown on glucose or gluconate as sole carbon source which are similar to results previously reported for PAO1 mutants lacking E-D genes. RNA-sequencing following short exposure to urine revealed minimal gene regulation differences compared to the wild type. In a murine CAUTI model, virulence testing of E-D mutants revealed that two mutants lacking zwf and pgl showed minor fitness defects. Infection with the pgl strain exhibited a 20% increase in host survival, and the zwf strain displayed decreased colonization of the catheter and kidneys. Consequently, our findings suggest that the E-D pathway in P. aeruginosa is dispensable in this model of CAUTI.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"48 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Catalytic PARP inhibitors are used as anticancer drugs especially in the case of tumors arising from sensitizing mutations. Recently, a study showed that Histone PARylation Factor (HPF1) forms a joint active site with PARP1/2. The interaction of HPF1 with PARP1/2 alters the automodification site from Aspartate, Glutamate to Serine, which has been shown to be a key ADP-ribosylation event in the context of DNA damage. Therefore disruption of PARP1/2-HPF1 interaction could be an alternative strategy for drug development to block the PARP1/2 activity. In this study, we describe a FRET based high-throughput screening assay to screen inhibitor libraries against PARP-HPF1 interaction. We optimized the conditions for FRET signal and verified the interaction by competing the FRET pair in multiple ways. The assay is robust and easy to automate. Validatory screening showed the robust performance of the assay, and we discovered two compounds, Dimethylacrylshikonin and Alkannin, with μM inhibition potency against PARP1/2-HPF1 interaction. The assay will facilitate the discovery of inhibitors against HPF1-PARP1/2 complex and to develop potentially new effective anticancer agents.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"46 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dorsolateral striatum (DLS) integrates sensorimotor cortical input, and is necessary for accurate timing and structuring behavior in general. However, if DLS provides the basis for mapping temporal features in the environment to behavior, its activity should predict variation in that mapping. A reanalysis of DLS population activity in rats comparing the duration of two sequentially presented vibratory stimuli revealed a striking correspondence between neural activity and behavior. Varying vibration intensity of the second stimulus induced systematic biases in temporal judgments, and corresponding biases in multiple features of DLS activity, including population coding of time. In contrast, the same intensity manipulations applied to the first stimulus affected neither behavior nor neural activity. Furthermore, neuronal response profiles were best described as a continuum, arguing against hypotheses where categories of responses, e.g., ramping activity, selectively underpin temporal processing. These data represent important additional evidence that striatal population dynamics support the organization of behavior by mapping temporal information to action.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used 24 years of available ringing and re-encounter data from the Faroe Islands, North Atlantic, to determine if patterns in survival probabilities can be explained by large scale climatic events. Having first determined the migratory phenology and wintering regions, we tested the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index during breeding and Oceanic Niño index (ONI) during the non-breeding period within a capture-mark-recapture framework to model direct and time-lagged effects of the environment on annual survival. We found differential effects in the two age-classes examined: young and adults. Overall, three models were equally supported. We found strong support for a substantial decrease in adult annual survival over the study period, from ca. 0.93 probability of survival in 1985 to ca. 0.77 in 2008, and support for a decrease in young survival over the duration of the study period. Furthermore, we found support for increased chick survival following an El Niño winter. We suggest this reflects a potential carry-over effect of El Niño conditions positively impacting the performance of the parents in the subsequent breeding season, leading to improved chick survival prospects. The negative trend of adult survival cannot be attributed to the oceanic climate oscillations tested here; however, this result may account for the substantial population declines observed during the last decades.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"39 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instances of parallelly evolving populations of the same species in a similar environment marked by strong selective pressures present opportunities to study the role of copy number variants (CNVs) in adaptation. By identifying CNVs that repeatedly occur in independent populations of the derived ecotype and are not (or are rarely) present in the populations of the ancestral ecotype, the association of such CNVs with adaptation to the novel environment can be inferred. We used this paradigm to identify CNVs associated with recurrent adaptation of the Mexican tetra (Astyanax mexicanus) to cave environment. Using a read-depth approach, we detected CNVs from previously re-sequenced genomes of 44 individuals belonging to two ancestral surface and three derived cave populations. We identified 102 genes and 292 genomic regions that repeatedly diverge in copy number between the two ecotypes and occupy 0.8% of the reference genome. Functional analysis revealed their association with processes previously recognized to be relevant for adaptation, such as vision, immunity, oxygen consumption, metabolism, and neural function and we propose that these variants have been selected for in the cave or surface waters. The majority of the ecotype-divergent CNVs are multiallelic and display copy-number increases in cave fish compared to surface fish. Our findings suggest that multiallelic CNVs - including gene duplications, and divergence in copy number provide a fast route to produce novel phenotypes associated with adaptation to subterranean life.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"40 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the role and mechanism of induction of inflammation in KS remain unclear. In a screening for inhibitors of KSHV-induced oncogenesis, over half of the identified candidates were anti-inflammatory agents including dexamethasone functions by activating glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling. Here, we examined the mechanism mediating KSHV-induced inflammation. We found that numerous inflammatory pathways were activated in KSHV-transformed cells. Particularly, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) from the IL-1 family were the most induced and suppressed cytokines, respectively. We found that KSHV miRNAs mediated IL-1α induction while both miRNAs and vFLIP mediated IL-1Ra suppression. Furthermore, GR signaling was inhibited in KSHV-transformed cells, which was mediated by vFLIP and vCyclin. Dexamethasone treatment activated GR signaling, and inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar of KSHV-transformed cells but had a minimal effect on matched primary cells. Consequently, dexamethasone suppressed the initiation and growth of KSHV-induced tumors in mice. Mechanistically, dexamethasone suppressed IL-1α but induced IL-1Ra expression. Treatment with recombinant IL-1α protein rescued the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone while overexpression of IL-1Ra caused a weak growth inhibition of KSHV-transformed cells. Furthermore, dexamethasone induced IκBα expression resulting in inhibition of NF-kB pathway and IL-1α expression. These results reveal an important role of IL-1 pathway in KSHV-induced inflammation and oncogenesis, which can be inhibited by dexamethasone-activated GR signaling, and identify IL-1-mediated inflammation as a potential therapeutic target for KSHV-induced malignancies.","PeriodicalId":486943,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","volume":"24 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our data showed that all four Pseudomonas species persisted in adults until death. The bacteria increased the likelihood that mosquitoes survived 24 hours after exposure to permethrin by up to two-fold. The impact of the bacteria depended on the bacterial species and the mosquito colony: in the resistant colony, all bacteria increased survival by about 2-fold, while in the sensitive colony, only two of the four species increased survival. The benefit with regard to insecticide resistance came with little to no impact on the other traits (i.e., larval mortality, developmental time and adult longevity).
