Full textThe photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis synthesizes a storage carbohydrate named paramylon, a glucan consisting only of β-(1-3)-glycosidic linkages. The enzyme that produces paramylon is a glycosyltransferase commonly known as paramylon synthase (EC 2.4.1.34; UDP-glucose: 1,3-β-D-glucan 3-β-D-glucosyl transferase). This enzyme uses UDP-glucose as its main substrate. In 2001, Bäumer et al. isolated and partially purified paramylon synthase, but never presented any sequence information. Hence, the main aim of this project was to isolate and characterize the gene(s) coding for the paramylon synthase. Different approaches were taken in order to isolate and characterize the gene(s). In the first part of the study molecular techniques were used to try and identify the gene. The two methods used were library screening and PCR amplification. Different libraries were screened using either functional staining or an affinity probe. The second method concentrated on the use of degenerate oligonucleotides, based on the amino acid sequences of conserved regions from known β-(1-3)-glucan synthase genes from various organisms, to PCR amplify the gene sequence from Euglena. These approaches were not successful in the isolation of the gene(s). In the second part of the study protein purification techniques were used in an attempt to obtain de novo protein sequence from the purified paramylon synthase enzyme. Several protein purification techniques were tried with the most successful being preparative ultra centrifugation followed either by sucrose density centrifugation or product entrapment (a type of affinity purification). These resulted in partial purification of the paramylon synthase protein. The partially purified proteins were separated using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the polypeptides able to bind the precursor, UDP-glucose, were identified using a radiolabeled isotope of UDP-glucose. These polypeptides were subjected to LC-MS-MS in order to obtain sequence information from them. One tryptic fragment showed high homology to β-(1,3)-glucan synthase genes from different yeasts.

Full textNew UDP-glucuronosyltransferases inhibitors have been designed, synthetized and tested in order to probe the active sites of these proteins which are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics, such as drugs, and endobiotics such as bilirubin, retinois acids,. . . The synthetized molecules, whose stucture is analogous to the donor substrate UDP-glucuronic acid, allowed us to characterize more specifically the peptidic domain interacting with this substrate. The maiIÏ results are gathered in three different parts, according to the group of inhibitors considered. 1- Uridine being the mother compound, a chemical series of about fifty molecules has been synthetized by varying the nature of the chemical groups placed successively on the base moiety or on the 2', 3' and 5' positions of the sugar. The inhibitory effect has frrst been estimated in terms of IC50. For the most powerful inhibitors, a detailed kinetic study gave us the inhibition constant and the type of inhibition. 2- These inhibitors have been compared to those previously obtained in the laboratory, such as arylalkyl carboxylic acids (competitive inhibitors) and N-acyl-phenylamino alcohols attached to a uridine molecule by a spacer (transition-state analogs). They have been used to characterize binding site of 4-methylumbelliferone of the UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 1. 6 after mutation of amino-acids His54 and Arg52 (mutants H54A, H54Q and R52A). 3- A series of inhibitors derived from triphenylalkyl carboxylic acids containing a primary alcohol group instead of the carboxylic acid group and with various carbon chain length has been tested on rats hepatic microsomes. They show a strong inhibitory effect on bilirubin glucuronidation. The results obtained allowed us to better understand the molecular and electronic basis of substrates interaction with UDP-glucuronosyl transferases

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Taiwan. The carcinogenesis process involves activated carcinogens which lead to mutations of crucial oncogenes resulting in tumor development. UGT1A7 (UDP-glucuronosyltransferases1A7) is an important extrahepatic enzyme that detoxifies a variety of lung carcinogens. Genetic polymorphisms in UGT1A7 were shown to have decreased catalytic activity when compared to the wild-type protein and therefore implicated as a cancer risk factor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms of UGT1A7 gene and lung cancer in the Taiwanese population. In addition, since KRAS mutation is highly associated with tobacco smoking, we further hypothesized that UGT1A7 polymorphisms might be correlated with the risk of developing this mutation. The 210 lung cancer patients and 210 healthy individuals enrolled in this matched case-control study were genotyped for UGT1A7 polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP method. Tumor tissues available from 150 patients were also tested for KRAS codon 12 and 13 mutations. Predicted intermediate-activity UGT1A7 genotypes (UGT1A7*1/*2, UGT1A7*1/*3, UGT1A7*1/*4, UGT1A7*2/*2, UGT1A7*2/*3) and low-activity UGT1A7 genotypes (UGT1A7*3/*3, UGT1A7*4/*4) were both significantly correlated with lung cancer risk (p=0.006, odds ratio (OR): 1.799, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.178-2.748 and p=0.032, OR: 3.333, 95% CI: 1.192-9.322, respectively). Interestingly, the risks were significant in males but not in females. Besides, those lower-activity UGT1A7 genotypes were significantly associated with lung cancer with wild-type EGFR but not with those with EGFR mutations. Of the 150 patients screened for KRAS mutations, 26 (17.3%) patients were identified. However, no association was found between UGT1A7 polymorphisms and the incidence of KRAS mutation. These results suggest that there is a potential role of UGT1A7 polymorphisms as a potential risk factor for lung cancer. Further studies are warranted to find out specific clinical characteristics and tumor biomarkers on these susceptible indivisuals. Moreover, it is also important to discover other risk factors that predispose patients to form lung cancer-related oncogenic mutations.

Chapter I. The Study of Cellular MicroRNA Expression Regulated by Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein in Human Hepatoma Cell Lines Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection contributes to chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, but the molecular pathogenesis is still unclear. HCV infection has been reported to modulate cellular microRNA (miRNA) expression. HCV core protein is believed to be involved in hepatocarcinogenesis by directly and indirectly regulating gene transcription, interfering with cellular signaling pathways, and affecting cell cycle and apoptosis. The full-length core protein is mainly found within the membranes of cytoplasmic organelles, whereas the mature form is trafficked to the nucleus. In this study, we examined miRNA expression profile in Huh7 cells transiently expressing full-length and mature HCV core protein using TaqMan low density array. Array data were further determined in Huh7 and HepG2 cells overexpressing full-length and mature core protein and in Huh7 cells expressing full-length HCV replicon. We demonstrate that the mature core protein modulates miR-345,miR-93,miR-138及miR-192 expression, and the full-length core protein modulates miR-192 expression. MiR-345 down-regulates p21Waf1/Cip1 gene expression by directly targeting its 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR). MiR-138 and miR-192 down-regulate telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and SIP1 gene expressions through directly targeting on their 3’ untranslated regions respectively. HCV core-induced miR-345 inhibits apoptosis through down-regulation of p21Waf1/Cip1 gene expression. Furthermore, the core protein regulates miR-138 and miR-192 expression to suppress cell proliferation by directly and indirectly inhibiting hTERT gene expression. This study may explain, in part, the molecular pathogenesis of multistep hepatocarcinogenesis during chronic HCV infection. Chapter II. The Investigation of the Effect of Inflammation on the Expression of Human UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 Gene Jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia is a common complication of sepsis. However, the molecular pathogenesis of hyperbilirubinemia during inflammation needs to be further clarified. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is a key enzyme for bilirubin metabolism. In this study, C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS suppresses mouse hepatic UGT1A1 gene expression, leading to the increases of total bilirubin and unconjugated bilirubin. Furthermore, human hepatic UGT1A1 gene expression is inhibited in Huh7 and HepG2 cells in response to LPS stimulation. We analyzed the upstream promiter region of human UGT1A1 gene using Transcriptional Regulatory Element Database. A novel NF-κB-binding site (-725/-716) in human UGT1A1 promoter region was determined using electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation. We showed that NF-κB activation is associated with down-regulation of UGT1A1 gene expression in Huh7 and HepG2 cells in response to LPS stimulation. Moreover, we further demonstrate that LPS suppresses human hepatic UGT1A1 gene expression through directly binding of NF-κB to this novel identified NF-κB-binding site (-725/-716) in the upstream promoter region of human UGT1A1 gene. This study may partly explain the molecular pathogenesis of inflammation-associated hyperbilirubinemia.
