Full textType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance, which can be modulated by estrogen in both females and males. In this process, the glucose transporter GLUT4 (solute carrier family 2 member 4 gene - Slc2a4) plays an important role, since increasing GLUT4 expression improves glycemic control. Estradiol (E2) regulates the expression of Slc2a4, by a mechanism in which estrogen receptors (ERs) play opposite effects: ER-alpha stimulates, whereas ER-beta inhibits the expression. Transcriptional effects of ERs involve co-regulators, notably the transcription factor SP1, a powerful enhancer of Slc2a4. However, the role of SP1 in the ERs-mediated regulation of Slc2a4 is unknown; and that was the aim of the present study. Differentiated adipocytes 3T3-L1 were treated (24 hours) with E2, ER-alpha agonist (PPT) or ER-beta agonist (DPN). It was analyzed: gene expression (RT-qPCR) of Slc2a4 and Sp1; total content o GLUT4 and nuclear content of ER-alpha/beta and SP1 (Western blotting); binding activity of SP1 into Slc2a4 promoter (electrophoretic mobility shift assay); and content of nuclear SP1/ER-alpha complexes (immunoprecipitation). Results confirmed that E2 increases the expression of Slc2a4/GLUT4, by the dominant effect of ER-alpha. The ER-alpha agonist PPT increased the nuclear content of SP1, the interaction of SP1/ER-alpha, and the binding activity of SP1 into the Slc2a4. The agonist DPN evinced that ER-beta activity does not involve the SP1. In conclusion, the enhancer effect of ER-alpha upon Slc2a4 gene expression involves a transactivation mechanism via SP1. This observation point outs the cooperation of ER-alpha/SP1 as a new target for the development of approaches to treat insulin resistance and T2DM

Full textSp1 is a eukaryotic transcription factor which specifically binds to GC boxes on DNA via its zinc finger domain. Its selective activity on a large panel of genes is ensured by multiple posttranslational modifications and selective interactions with other regulating proteins. Among these genes are those implicated in cell division and apoptosis. My PhD focused on the role of Sp1 in these two processes. We first analyzed the mechanism and function of the phosphatase 2Ameditated dephosphorylation of Sp1 which occurs in proliferating cells. We showed that PP2A simultaneously targets several serines and threonines and that the Sp1 dephosphorylated form is preferentially recruited by chromatin in vivo. In addition, we sought to specify the role of Sp1 in the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities of histone deacetylases inhibitors in various tumoral cell types. We have shown that trichostatin A induces the cleavage of Sp1 by caspases and identified the corresponding target sites. Preliminary results indicate that the released Cterminal fragment is more recruited onto chromatin than the whole Sp1 protein and that it exerts an increased transcriptional activity. In conclusion, we have described two mechanisms of posttranslational regulation of Sp1 (dephosphorylation and cleavage) which both lead to an increase of its in vivo DNA binding during cell division and apoptosis. We propose that Sp1 recruitment is pre required for the expression of a large number of genes induced in these two processes, while their selective transcription is triggered by complementary regulatory mechanisms

Full textL’infection par le virus HTLV-1 se caractérise par l’absence de virémie due à la latence du virus dans la majorité des cellules infectées suite à la répression transcriptionnelle de l’expression virale in vivo. Cette latence favorise très probablement le développement tumoral en permettant aux cellules infectées d’échapper à la réponse immunitaire médiée par l’hôte infecté.
Au cours de ce travail, nous avons tout d’abord identifié deux nouveaux sites de liaison pour le facteur de transcription Sp1, localisés dans la région R du promoteur LTR du HTLV-1. Nous les avons caractérisés physiquement par des expériences de retard de migration sur gel et avons mis en évidence la liaison de Sp1 au niveau de ces deux sites. Nous avons ensuite déterminé l’affinité de Sp1 pour les différents sites du promoteur du HTLV-1 et avons montré que les sites Sp11 (localisé dans la région U3) et Sp15 (localisé dans la région U5) sont les plus forts. Nous avons étudié l’impact de mutations de tous les sites Sp1 du LTRHTLV-1 sur son activité promotrice en conditions basales et transactivées par Tax dans le contexte d’un vecteur rapporteur épisomal. Nous avons mis en évidence que les sites Sp1 de la région R du LTRHTLV-1 agissent comme répresseurs de la transcription du LTR5’ mais n’ont aucun effet sur l’activité promotrice du LTR3’.
Dans une seconde partie de notre travail, nous avons étudié l’implication du cofacteur CTIP2 dans la répression transcriptionnelle du HTLV-1 et avons mis en évidence sa capacité à réprimer la transactivation médiée par Tax des promoteurs (LTR5’ et LTR3’) du HTLV-1 en cellules T-lymphoïdes Jurkat. Nous avons également montré par des expériences d’immunoprécipitation de chromatine, le recrutement de CTIP2 aux promoteurs du HTLV-1 dans une lignée infectée de manière latente par le rétrovirus et son absence dans une lignée productive. A l’inverse, Sp1 est présent dans les deux types de lignées. De plus, nous avons exclus l’implication des sites Sp1 du LTRHTLV-1 dans le recrutement du cofacteur étant donné que CTIP2 réprime toujours la transactivation Tax-dépendante du LTRHTLV-1 muté au niveau de tous les sites Sp1.
Finalement, nous avons étudié l’importance des modifications post-traductionnelles de CTIP2 dans son activité de cofacteur transcriptionnel. Nous avons montré que CTIP2 était acétylé par les HATs CBP et p300 et avons identifié 5 sites majeurs d’acétylation. Nous avons mis en évidence l’importance de l’acétylation de la lysine 604 de CTIP2 dans son activité répressive de la transactivation Tax-dépendante des LTRs du HTLV-1.
L’ensemble de ces résultats suggère un rôle du corépresseur CTIP2 dans la régulation transcriptionnelle du promoteur du HTLV-1 ainsi qu’un rôle répresseur des sites Sp1 de la région R du LTRHTLV-1 dans la transcription des gènes viraux au départ du LTR5’. La poursuite de ce travail devrait contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes moléculaires génétiques et épigénétiques impliqués dans la latence et la réactivation transcriptionnelles des promoteurs du HTLV-1.

Our previous study found that Sp1 phosphorylation at Threonine739 decreased DNA-binding activity of Sp1 during mitosis. Here, we demonstrated that Sp1 Thr739 phosphorylation alone is necessary, but not sufficient for the decrease of DNA-binding activity in mitosis stage. Further study showed that Pin1 could be recruited to phospho-Thr739-Pro740 motif of Sp1 and then regulate the interaction between phospho-Thr739-Sp1 and CDK1 during mitosis, thereby Sp1 could be further highly phosphorylated by CDK1 at Ser720, Thr723, and Thr737. The Pin1-mediated Sp1 highly phosphorylation by CDK1 can decrease DNA-binding affinity of Sp1. Loss of C-terminus (amino acid 741-785) significantly increased the phosphorylation by CDK1 without Pin1, suggesting that C-terminus of Sp1 inhibits highly phosphorylation by CDK1. The structure study by X-ray crystallography indicated that Pin1 increased the cis signal and showed that the phospho-Thr739-Sp1 peptide located in the active site of Pin1, suggesting that Pin1 alters the conformation of C-terminal Sp1. During mitosis, Sp1 highly phosphorylation by CDK1 not only stabilized protein level of Sp1 by reducing the interaction between Sp1 and its ubiquitin E3-ligase RNF4 but also made Sp1 completely leave the chromosomes by decreasing the DNA-binding activity of Sp1. This regulation of Sp1 by CDK1 phosphorylation can facilitate the cell cycle progression. Thus, Pin1-mediated conformational alteration of C-terminal Sp1 is critical for the Sp1 highly phosphorylation by CDK1 in mitosis, leading cell cycle progression. In addition to the cell cycle regulation in cancer cells, highly phosphorylation can preserve Sp1 during cell cycle and then Sp1 can rapidly start to regulate gene transcription in cancer cells after cell division. So we investigated the genes Sp1 regulated in cancer cells to clarify the function of preserved Sp1 during cell cycle. Our ChIP-seq and small RNA-seq data suggested that Sp1 can regulate lots of microRNAs in cancer cells and may affect tumor progression via miRNA regulation. Our data showed that Sp1 can exhibit positive and negative control on miRNA, so we chose the Sp1-positive regulated miR-22 and Sp1-negative regulated miR-103 for our study. In this study, we found that Sp1 can activate the promoter of miR-22 by Sp1 binding site, and Sp1 can repress miR-103 through non-canonical intronic microRNA regulation. Instead of regulating miR-103 host gene promoter, Sp1 can directly regulate miR-103 promoter. Although there is not any Sp1 binding site on miR-103 promoter, we found that Sp1 can repress miR-103 transcription by forming a repression complex with YY1 and HADC1. This study showed that Sp1 can exhibit positive and negative control on miRNA transcription in cancer cells, suggesting that Sp1 might play an important role in tumorigenesis by regulating miRNA.

Introduction: Since the era of Marshall, H. pylori has been to be implicated in many upper digestive tract diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa- associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and even gastric adenocarcinoma. In 1994, WHO recognized H. pylori as a definite carcinogen for gastric cancer. Many study had shown that microbial pathogens may induce oxidative stress in infected host cell. And this may also represent an important mechanism leading to epithelial injury in H. pyloric infection. Oxidative stress plays a role in altering epithelial cell turnover, accelerating apoptosis and increasing oxidative DNA damage. One of the evidences for this phenomenon is increasing level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) measured in the mucosa of infected stomach. ROS may activate HIF-11α transcription. HIF-1α overexpression had been detected in several human cancers. Furthermore its overexpression correlates significantly with highly aggressive disease, lymph node metastasis, clinicopathological status and poor prognosis in some cancer types. It may up regulate hypoxia-induced gene, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) transcription and angiogenesis. Therefore we propose Sp1-pVHL-HIF-1α pathway may play a role the carcinogenesis in Hp -associated gastric cancer. Material and methods: We took Paraffin-embedded specimens from 89patients, who had undergone UGI endoscopy and gastric mucosa biopsy. We assessed the Sp1, pVHL, HIF-1α in all cases by immunohistochemistry and then evaluated their correlation with the H pylori infection. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test was performed to determine the significance of the difference between Sp1, pVHL, HIF-1α. Results: There are not significant difference in nuclear Sp1 expression and H. pylori different (p=0.59). Sp1 expression was not significant, (p=0.91, 0.93, 0.36, 0.42, 0.51) with sex, age, location, TNM stage and cell differentiation. pVHL protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm. There are no significant difference with H. pylori infection (p=0.14). The relationship pVHL protein expression between with sex, age, lesion site, TNM stage and cell differentiation were not significant (p=0.39, 0.70, 0.69, 0.83, 0.70). HIF-1α protein was mainly expressed in the nuclei. There are not significant association with H. pylori infection (p=0.49). There were no significant differences between HIF-1α protein expression with sex, age, location, TNM stage and cell differentiation (p=0.94, 0.32, 0.75, 0.35, 0.60). Furthermore, In normal tissue the expression of HIF-1α had significant association with pVHL(p=0.0002), and the expression also had no a mariginally significant association with Sp1(p=0.096). Expression of Sp1 had significant association with pVHL(p=0.0016)in tumor tissue, Therewas a significant association between normal and tumor tissue expression of the pVHL and Sp1(p=0.038, 0.019), but the expression of HIF-1α had no significant(p=0.23). Conclusion: In this study, we attempt to determine the association between Sp1-pVHL -HIF-1α pathway and a role in the carcinogenesis in H. pylori infection. Although we didn’t confirm the hypothesis Sp1-pVHL -HIF-1α pathway playing an critical role in the mechanism of gastric cancer. We concluded that there is no significance between the expression of Sp1, pVHL and HIF-1α and gastric cancer, but the role of this pathway in the Hp infection associated carcinogenesis is still to be clarified.

TACC3 was identified as a member of the transforming acidic coiled-coil (TACC) family characterized by their highly homologous carboxyl-terminal acidic coiled-coil domain. This protein has been found to be overexpressed in differentiating cells such as erythroid cells or in fast dividing cells such as cells in testis. One of its most studied biologicalfunctions so far is the stabilization of centrosomal microtubules during M phase. However the mechanism of TACC3 expression during the cell cycle is yet not well understood. Here, we used Thymidine and Nocodazole to synchronize cells at G1/S and G2/M phase respectively, to study TACC3’s gene expression. Both TACCs RNA and protein expression showed a cyclical pattern over cell cycle. The importance of the fluctuations of TACC3 mRNA in the cell cycle raised the question of how it is regulated. Since the TACC3 mRNA stability between interphase and mitosis cells did not differ significantly, thus we proceeded to study the transcriptional regulation. Therefore, about 600 base pairs upstream of the 5’ untranslated region was cloned into pGL2-luciferase reporter vector. Our luciferase activity data showed that this region portrays a cyclical pattern, thus may contain cell cycle dependent regulatory elements. The deletion fragment, we identified two regions that play important role in the basal activity and activation of TACC3 during mitosis contained Sp1 and CDE binding sites. Further experiments will need to be done to confirm whether Sp1 bind to this region and which regulatory elements bind to the CDE binding sites.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality and the prognosis for lung carcinoma patients is generally poor (5-yr survival rate 〈 15%) in Taiwan, even if diagnosed and treated successfully, patients with early stage of lung carcinoma have a 5-year survival rate of only 70% after surgical resection. Understanding of the molecular attributes of lung tumors provides clues to develop the therapy targeting defective cellular pathways for lung cancer, such as Ras proteins which activates Ras/Raf-1/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. The transcription factor, specificity protein (Sp) 1 was found to be overexpressed in several human cancers and the Sp1 levels correlated with tumor grade/stage and poor prognosis. The overall objective of this study is to identify the functional role and potential contribution of Sp1 in lung tumorigenesis. In the first section, we showed that the Sp1 level was highly increased and required for lung tumor growth in transgenic mice bearing KrasG12D-induced lung tumors under the control of doxycycline. Furthermore, the Sp1 level was highly upreguated in lung adenocarcinoma cells with low invasiveness and in patients with stage I lung cancer. We also demonstrated that Sp1 was downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cells with high invasiveness and in patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. In particular, Sp1 expression in highly invasive lung adenocarcinoma cells is still significantly higher than that in normal lung fibroblast. Moreover, Sp1 inversely regulated migration, invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells in vivo. In addition, a decrease in the Sp1 level in highly invasive lung adenocarcinoma cells resulted from instability of the Sp1 protein. Furthermore, overexpression of Sp1 in highly invasive lung adenocarcinoma cells increased expression of E-cadherin, a suppressor of metastasis, and attenuated the translocation of -catenin into the cellular nucleus which leads to tumor malignancy. Taken together, Sp1 level accumulates strongly in early stage and then declines in late stage, which are important for lung cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, respectively, during tumorigenesis. In the second section, we evaluated the effect of an anti-tumor drug, betulinic acid (BA), targeting Sp1 on lung cancer in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we found that BA treatment increased the sumoylation of Sp1 by inhibiting SENP1 expression and the recruitment of E3 ligase, RNF4, followed by resulting in ubiquitination-mediated degradation in a 26S proteosome-dependent pathway. In addition, both of BA and mithramycin A (MMA) treatment inhibited lung tumor growth, and downregulated Sp1 protein expression in KrasG12D-induced lung cancers of bitransgenic mice. In the study of gene expression profiles of KrasG12D-induced lung cancers of bitransgenic mice with and without Sp1 inhibition, 542 of genes were affected by repressing Sp1 expression. One of these important genes, cyclin A2 (CCNA2), was addressed deeply to indicate that CCNA2 expression was attenuated by BA and MMA treatments through decreasing Sp1 protein stability and DNA binding affinity, respectively. Downregulation of CCNA2 led to decrease in Rb phosphorylation and to causing cell cycle G2/M-arrest. BA-mediated cellular Sp1 degradation and antitumor effect were also further confirmed in xenograft mouse model by using H1299 cells. Knock down of Sp1 in lung cancer cells attenuated the anti-cell growth effect of BA. Taken together, this study clarified the mechanism of BA-mediated Sp1 degradation, and identified that Sp1 level plays a pivotal role in BA-induced repression of lung cancer growth.
