Berberine (BBR) is a natural product found in many fruits and berries and used in traditional medicine for centuries. It has many biological effects, and some are anti-proliferative in nature. BBR may activate the expression of TP53 and inhibit cell cycle progression as well as other events important in cell growth. To understand more about the potential of compounds like BBR and chemical modified BBRs (NAX compounds) to sensitize PDAC cells to MDM2 inhibitors, we introduced either WT-TP53 or the pLXSN empty vector control into two PDAC cell lines, one lacking expression of TP53 (PANC-28) and one with gain-of-function mutant TP53 on both alleles (MIA-PaCa-2). Our results indicate that nutlin-3a was able to increase the sensitivity to BBR and certain NAX compounds. The effects of nutlin-3a were usually more substantial in those cells containing an introduced WT TP53 gene.

BPNT2 is localized to the Golgi, where it metabolizes the by-products of glycosaminoglycan sulfation reactions. BPNT2-knockout mice exhibit impairments in total-body chondroitin-4-sulfation which lead to abnormal skeletal development (chondrodysplasia). These mice die in the perinatal period, which has previously prevented the investigation of BPNT2 in the adult nervous system. Previous work has demonstrated the importance of chondroitin sulfation in the brain, as chondroitin-4-sulfate is a major component of perineuronal nets (PNNs), a specialized neuronal extracellular matrix which mediates synaptic plasticity and regulates certain behaviors. We hypothesized that the loss of BPNT2 in the nervous system would decrease chondroitin-4-sulfation and PNNs in the brain, which would coincide with behavioral abnormalities. We used Cre-lox breeding to knockout <em>Bpnt2</em> specifically in the nervous system using <em>Bpnt2</em> floxed (fl/fl) animals and a Nestin-driven Cre recombinase. These mice are viable into adulthood, and do not display gross physical abnormalities. We identified decreases in total glycosaminoglycan sulfation across selected brain regions, and specifically show decreases in chondroitin-4-sulfation which correspond with increases in chondroitin-6-sulfation. Interestingly, these changes were not correlated with gross alterations in PNNs. We also subjected these mice to a selection of neurobehavioral assessments and did not identify significant behavioral abnormalities.

The biogenesis of secretory vesicles from the Golgi cisternae is followed by their transport towards the cell periphery and their docking and fusion to the exocytic sites of the plasma membrane allowing release of vesicular content. Subsequent compensatory endocytosis of the protein and lipidic constituents of the vesicles maintains cell homeostasis. Despite the fact that lipids represent the majority of membrane constituents, little is known about their contribution to these processes. Using a combination of electrochemical measurement of single chromaffin cell catecholamine secretion and electron microscopy of roof-top membrane sheets associated with genetic, silencing and pharmacological approaches, we recently reported that diverse phosphatidic acid (PA) species regulates catecholamine release efficiency by controlling granule docking and fusion kinetics. The enzyme phospholipase D1 (PLD1), producing PA from phosphatidylcholine, seems to be the major responsible of these effects in this model. Here, we extended this work using spinning disk confocal microscopy showing that inhibition of PLD activity also reduced the velocity of granules undergoing a directed motion. Furthermore, a dopamine β-hydroxylase (DβH) internalization assay revealed that PA produced by PLD is required for an optimal recovery of vesicular membrane content by compensatory endocytosis. Thus, among numerous roles that have been attributed to PA our work gives core to the key regulatory role in secretion that has been proposed in different cell models.
