DEPTOR (DEP Domain Containing MTOR Interacting Protein) is an endogenous mTOR inhibitor that participates in various physiological processes such as cell growth, apoptosis, autophagy, and ER homeostasis. However, the role of DEPTOR in the pathogenesis of asthma is still unknown. In this study, an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced mice model and IL-13 induced 16HBE cells were used to evaluate the effect of DEPTOR on asthma. A decreased DEPTOR expression was shown in the lung tissues of OVA-mice and IL-13 induced 16HBE cells. Upregulation of DEPTOR attenuated airway goblet cell hyperplasia, inhibited mucus hypersecretion, decreased the expression of mucin MUC5AC, and suppressed the level of inflammatory factors IL-4 and IL-5, which were all induced by OVA treatment. The increased protein expression of ER stress markers GRP78, CHOP, unfolded protein response (UPR) related proteins, and apoptosis markers in OVA mice were also inhibited by DEPTOR overexpression. In IL-13 induced 16HBE cells, overexpression of DEPTOR decreased IL-4, IL-5, and MUC5AC levels, preventing ER stress response and UPR process. Furthermore, from the proteomics results, we identified that SOD1 (Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase 1) may be the downstream factor of DEPTOR.

Thus, obtaining efficient gene targeting without using marker genes is instrumental in developing a pipeline for efficient engineering of strains for biotechnological applications.

Moreover, we determined the efficiency of multiplex simultaneous gene disruption by using an additional gene target whose knock-out did not lead to a visible phenotype, achieving a co-targeting efficiency of 22%. These results expand the toolset of GE techniques and, additionally, lead the way to future strategies to generate complex genotypes or to functionally investigate gene families.

The aim of this study is to investigate the regulation and underlying mechanism of NORFA to E2 synthesis in sow granulosa cells (GCs).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Through Pearson correlation analysis and comparative detection, we found that NORFA expression was positively correlated with the levels of pregnenolone (PREG) and E2 in follicles, which also exhibited similar alteration patterns during follicular atresia. ELISA was conducted and indicated for the first time that NORFA induced the synthesis of PREG and E2 in sow GCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. RNA-seq, GSEA and quantitative analyses results validated that CYP11A1, the coding gene of P450SCC which is the first step rate-limiting enzyme of E2 synthesis, was a positive functional target of NORFA. Mechanistically, NORFA promotes SF-1 expression by stabilizing NR5A1 mRNA through directly interacting with its 3'-UTR, and also tethers SF-1 to shuttle into nucleus. Additionally, SF-1 in the nucleus activates CYP11A1 transcription by directly binding to its promoter, which ultimately induces E2 synthesis and inhibits GC apoptosis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings highlight that NORFA, a multifunctional lncRNA, induces E2 synthesis and inhibits GC apoptosis through the SF-1/CYP11A1 axis in a ceRNA-independent manner, which provide valuable clues and potential targets for follicular atresia inhibition and female fertility improvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":9164,"journal":{"name":"Biology Direct","volume":"19 1","pages":"107"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11552157/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142614850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
