Abstract
The dopaminergic neurotoxin, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), has been widely utilized to establish experimental models of Parkinson disease and to reveal the critical molecules and pathway underlying neuronal death. The profile of gene expression changes following 6-OHDA treatment of MN9D dopaminergic neuronal cells was investigated using a TwinChip Mouse-7.4K microarray. Functional clustering of altered sets of genes identified RING-finger protein 166 (RNF166). RNF166 is composed of an N-terminal RING domain and C-terminal ubiquitin interaction motif. RNF166 localized in the cytosol and nucleus. At the tissue level, RNF166 was widely expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral organs. In the cerebral cortex, its expression decreased over time. In certain conditions, overexpression of RNF166 accelerates the naturally occurring neuronal death and 6-OHDA-induced MN9D cell death as determined by TUNEL and annexin-V staining, and caspase activation. Consequently, 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic cell death was attenuated in RNF166-knockdown cells. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism underlying this pro-apoptotic activity, binding protein profiles were assessed using the yeast two-hybrid system. Among several potential binding candidates, RNF166 was shown to interact with the cytoplasmic X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), inducing ubiquitin-dependent degradation of XIAP and eventually accelerating caspase activation following 6-OHDA treatment. RNF166's interaction with and resulting inhibition of the XIAP anti-caspase activity was further enhanced by XIAP-associated factor-1 (XAF-1). Consequently, depletion of RNF166 suppressed 6-OHDA-induced caspase activation and apoptotic cell death, which was reversed by XIAP knockdown. In summary, our data suggest that RNF166, a novel E3 ligase, plays a pro-apoptotic role via caspase activation in neuronal cells.

Abstract
Seminal studies by Dr. Shinya Yamanaka revealed that reprogramming technology was able to convert differentiated somatic cells to self-renewing and pluripotent stem cells. Although reprogramming process does not require changes in the genome information, cellular reprogramming elicits dynamic changes of epigenetic regulation. Therefore, reprogramming technology is a powerful tool for the modifying epigenetic regulation. Previous studies have reported that epigenetic regulation plays a critical role on both the development and maintenance of cancer cells. Taking advantage of reprogramming technology, previous studies have actively modified the epigenome of cancer cells and revealed the importance of the coordinated interactions between genetic abnormalities and epigenetic regulation in cancer cells. In this review, we describe advances and challenges in the use of reprogramming technology for studying cancer biology.

Searching for principles of microbial physiology.

FEMS Microbiol Rev. 2020 Sep 21;:

Authors: Bruggeman FJ, Planqué R, Molenaar D, Teusink B

Abstract
Why do evolutionarily distinct microorganisms display similar physiological behaviours? Why are transitions from high-ATP yield to low(er)-ATP yield metabolisms so widespread across species? Why is fast growth generally accompanied with low stress tolerance? Do these regularities occur because most microbial species are subject to the same selective pressures and physicochemical constraints? If so, a broadly-applicable theory might be developed that predicts common microbiological behaviours. Microbial systems biologists have been working out the contours of this theory for the last two decades, guided by experimental data. At its foundations lie basic principles from evolutionary biology, enzyme biochemistry, metabolism, cell composition and steady-state growth. The theory makes predictions about fitness costs and benefits of protein expression, physicochemical constraints on cell growth and characteristics of optimal metabolisms that maximise growth rate. Comparisons of the theory with experimental data indicates that microorganisms often aim for maximisation of growth rate, also in the presence of stresses; they often express optimal metabolisms and metabolic proteins at optimal concentrations. This review explains the current status of the theory for microbiologists; its roots, predictions, experimental evidence and future directions.

Endothelial cell polarization and orientation to flow in a novel microfluidic multimodal shear stress generator.

Lab Chip. 2020 Oct 25;:

Authors: Sonmez UM, Cheng YW, Watkins SC, Roman BL, Davidson LA

Abstract
Endothelial cells (EC) respond to shear stress to maintain vascular homeostasis, and a disrupted response is associated with cardiovascular diseases. To understand how different shear stress modalities affect EC morphology and behavior, we developed a microfluidic device that concurrently generates three different levels of uniform wall shear stress (WSS) and six different WSS gradients (WSSG). In this device, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exhibited a rapid and robust response to WSS, with the relative positioning of the Golgi and nucleus transitioning from a non-polarized to polarized state in a WSS magnitude- and gradient-dependent manner. By contrast, polarized HUVECs oriented their Golgi and nucleus polarity to the flow vector in a WSS magnitude-dependent manner, with positive WSSG inhibiting and negative WSSG promoting upstream orientation. Having validated this device, this chip can now be used to dissect the mechanisms underlying EC responses to different WSS modalities, including shear stress gradients, and to investigate the influence of flow on a diverse range of cells during development, homeostasis and disease.

Profiling the Non-genetic Origins of Cancer Drug Resistance with a Single-Cell Functional Genomics Approach Using Predictive Cell Dynamics.

Abstract
Non-genetic heterogeneity observed in clonal cell populations is an immediate cause of drug resistance that remains challenging to profile because of its transient nature. Here, we coupled three single-cell technologies to link the predicted drug response of a cell to its own genome-wide transcriptomic profile. As a proof of principle, we analyzed the response to tumor-necrosis-factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in HeLa cells to demonstrate that cell dynamics can discriminate the transient transcriptional states at the origin of cell decisions such as sensitivity and resistance. Our same-cell approach, named fate-seq, can reveal the molecular factors regulating the efficacy of a drug in clonal cells, providing therapeutic targets of non-genetic drug resistance otherwise confounded in gene expression noise. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the Supplemental Information.
