Membrane-Interacting DNA Nanotubes Induce Cancer Cell Death

<p>This dataset contains the raw data that were used for the publication entitled, &quot;Membrane-Interacting DNA Nanotubes Induce Cancer Cell Death&quot; published in Nanomaterials on 4 August 2021.</p> <p>Abstract:</p> <p>DNA nanotechnology offers to build nanoscale structures with defined chemistries to precisely position biomolecules or drugs for selective cell targeting and drug delivery. Owing to the negatively charged nature of DNA, for delivery purposes DNA is frequently conjugated with hydrophobic moieties, positively charged polymers/peptides, cell surface receptor recognizing molecules or antibodies. Here, we designed and assembled cholesterol-modified DNA nanotubes to interact with cancer cells and conjugated them with cytochrome c to induce cancer cell apoptosis. By flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, we observed that DNA nanotubes efficiently bound to the plasma membrane as a function of the number of conjugated cholesterol moieties. The complex was taken up by the cells and localized to the endosomal compartment. Cholesterol-modified DNA nanotubes, but not unmodified ones, induced increased membrane permeability, caspase activation and cell death. Irreversible inhibition of caspase activity, with Z-VAD-FMK, however, only partially prevented cell death. Cytochrome c conjugated DNA nanotubes were also efficiently taken up but did not increased the rate of cell death. These results demonstrate that cholesterol-modified DNA nanotubes induce cancer cell death associated with increased cell membrane permeability and only partially dependent on caspase activity, consistent with a combined form of apoptotic and necrotic cell death. DNA nanotubes may be further developed as primary cytotoxic agents, or drug delivery vehicles, through cholesterol mediated cellular membrane interactions and uptake.</p>

[Data from:] Genetic Analysis Reveals Three Novel QTLs Underpinning a Butterfly Egg-Induced Hypersensitive Response-Like Cell Death in Brassica Rapa

<p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>Cabbage white butterflies (<em>Pieris</em>&nbsp;spp.) can be severe pests of&nbsp;<em>Brassica</em>&nbsp;crops such as Chinese cabbage, Pak choi (<em>Brassica rapa</em>) or cabbages (<em>B. oleracea</em>). Eggs of&nbsp;<em>Pieris</em>&nbsp;spp. can induce a hypersensitive response-like (HR-like) cell death which reduces egg survival in the wild black mustard (<em>B. nigra</em>). Unravelling the genetic basis of this egg-killing trait in&nbsp;<em>Brassica</em>&nbsp;crops could improve crop resistance to herbivory, reducing major crop losses and pesticides use. Here we investigated the genetic architecture of a HR-like cell death induced by&nbsp;<em>P. brassicae</em>&nbsp;eggs in&nbsp;<em>B. rapa.</em></p> <p><strong>Results</strong></p> <p>A germplasm screening of&nbsp;<em>B. rapa</em>&nbsp;56 accessions, representing the genetic and geographical diversity of a&nbsp;<em>B. rapa</em>&nbsp;core collection, showed phenotypic variation for cell death. An image-based phenotyping protocol was developed to accurately measure size of HR-like cell death and was then used to identify two accessions that consistently showed weak (R-o-18) or strong cell death response (L58). Screening of 160 RILs derived from these two accessions resulted in three novel QTLs for&nbsp;P<em>ieris</em>&nbsp;b<em>rassicae-</em>induced&nbsp;cell death on chromosomes A02 (<em>Pbc1</em>), A03 (<em>Pbc2</em>), and A06 (<em>Pbc3</em>). The three QTLs&nbsp;<em>Pbc1-3</em>&nbsp;contain cell surface receptors, intracellular receptors and other genes involved in plant immunity processes, such as ROS accumulation and cell death formation. Synteny analysis with&nbsp;<em>A. thaliana</em>&nbsp;suggested that&nbsp;<em>Pbc1</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Pbc2</em>&nbsp;are novel QTLs associated with this trait, while&nbsp;<em>Pbc3</em>&nbsp;contains also LecRK-I.1, a gene of&nbsp;<em>A. thaliana</em>&nbsp;previously associated with cell death induced by a&nbsp;<em>P. brassicae</em>&nbsp;egg extract.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p> <p>This study provides the first genomic regions associated with the&nbsp;<em>Pieris</em>&nbsp;egg-induced HR-like cell death in a&nbsp;<em>Brassica</em>&nbsp;crop species. It is a step closer towards unravelling the genetic basis of an egg-killing crop resistance trait, paving the way for breeders to further fine-map and validate candidate genes.</p>

Species-specific effects and the ecological role of Programmed cell Death in the microalgae Ankistrodesmus (Sphaeropleales, Selenastraceae)

<p>Reports of programmed cell death (PCD) in phytoplankton raise questions about the ecological evolutionary role of cell death in these organisms. We induced PCD by nitrogen deprivation and unregulated cell death (non-PCD) in one strain of the green microalga <em>Ankistrodesmus densus</em> and investigated the effects of the cell death supernatants on phylogenetically related co-occurring organisms using growth rates and maximum biomass as proxies of fitness. PCD-released materials from <em>A. densus</em> CCMA-UFSCar-3 significantly increased growth rates of two conspecific strains compared to healthy culture (HC) supernatants and improved the maximum biomass of all <em>A. densus</em> strains compared to related species. Although growth rates of non-<em>A. densus</em> with PCD supernatants were not statistically different from HC treatment, biomass gain was significantly reduced. Thus, the organic substances released by PCD, possibly nitrogenous compounds, could promote conspecific growth. These results support the argument that PCD may differentiate species or subtypes and increases inclusive fitness in this model unicellular chlorophyte. Further research, however, is needed to identify the responsible molecules and how they interact with cells to provide the PCD benefits.</p>

This mutation creates a promiscuous AR that can bind to different types of steroids. LNCaP cells are AR-positive, PSA-positive, PTEN-negative and harbor wild-type p53 {Skjoth, 2006 #150; Mitchell, 2000 #149}. PNT1A is immortalized non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line. PNT1A cells harbour wild-type p53. However, SV40 induced T-antigen expression inhibits the activity of p53. This cell line had lost the expression of androgen receptor (AR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (Raudenska, 2019). DU-145 cell line is derived from the metastatic site in the brain and contains P223L and V274F mutations in p53. This cell line is PSA and AR-negative and androgen independent (Chappell, 2012). All cell lines used in this study were purchased from HPA Culture Collections (Salisbury, UK). and were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10 % FBS. The medium was supplemented with antibiotics (penicillin 100 U/ml and streptomycin 0.1 mg/ml).

To detect the cells with a loss of plasma membrane integrity, cells were stained with 1 ug/ml propidium iodide (Sigma Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and visualized using TRITC 542 nm filter. Nuclear morphology and chromatin condensation were analyzed using Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining (ENZO, Lausen, Switzerland) and visualized using DAPI 461 nm filter.

To maintain standard cultivation conditions (37&deg;C, humidified air (60%) with 5% CO2) during time-lapse experiments, cells were placed in the gas chamber H201 - for Mad City Labs Z100/Z500 piezo Z-stages (Okolab, Ottaviano NA, Italy). To image enough cells in one field of view, lens Nikon Plan 10/0.30 were chosen. For each cell line and each treatment, seven fields of view were observed with the frame rate 3 mins/frame for 24 or 48 h respectively. Holograms were captured by CCD camera (XIMEA MR4021 MC-VELETA), fluorescence images were captured using ANDOR Zyla 5.5 sCMOS camera.

Acceptable loss: Fitness consequences of salinity-induced cell death in a halotolerant microalga

<p>Environmentally induced reductions in fitness components (survival, fecundity) are generally considered as passive, maladaptive responses to stress. However, there is also mounting evidence for active, programmed forms of environmentally induced cell death in unicellular organisms. While conceptual work has questioned how such programmed cell death (PCD) might be maintained by natural selection, few experimental studies have investigated how PCD influences genetic differences in longer-term fitness across environments. Here, we tracked the population dynamics of two closely related strains of the halotolerant microalga <em>Dunaliella salina</em>, following transfers across salinities. We showed that after a salinity rise, only one of these strains displayed a massive population decline (-69% in one hour), largely attenuated by exposure to a PCD inhibitor. However, this decline was followed by a rapid demographic rebound, characterized by faster growth than the non-declining strain, such that sharper decline was correlated with faster subsequent growth across experiments and conditions. Strikingly, the decline was more pronounced in conditions more favourable to growth (more light, more nutrients, less competition), further suggesting that it was not simply passive. We explored several hypotheses that could explain this decline-rebound pattern, which suggests that <span>successive stresses could select for </span>higher environmentally induced death in this system<span>.</span></p>

Data from: Response to persistent er stress in plants: a multiphasic process that transitions cells from prosurvival activities to cell death

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly conserved response that protects plants from adverse environmental conditions. The UPR is elicited by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in which unfolded and misfolded proteins accumulate within the ER. Here, we induced the UPR in maize (Zea mays) seedlings to characterize the molecular events that occur over time during persistent ER stress. We found that a multiphasic program of gene expression was interwoven among other cellular events, including the induction of autophagy. One of the earliest phases involved the degradation by regulated IRE1-dependent RNA degradation (RIDD) of RNA transcripts derived from a family of peroxidase genes. RIDD resulted from the activation of ZmIRE1 for promiscuous ribonuclease activity that attacks the mRNAs of secreted proteins. This was followed by an upsurge in expression of the canonical UPR genes indirectly driven by ZmIRE1 due to its splicing of Zmbzip60 to make an active transcription factor that directly upregulates many of the UPR genes. At the peak of UPR gene expression, a global wave of alternative RNA processing led to the production of many aberrant UPR gene transcripts, likely tempering the ER stress response. During later stages of ER stress, ZmIRE1's activity declined as did the expression of survival modulating genes, Bax inhibitor1 and Bcl-2-associated athanogene7, amidst a rising tide of cell death. Thus, in response to persistent ER stress, maize seedlings embark on a course of gene expression and cellular events progressing from adaptive responses to cell death.

Integrin restriction by miR-34 protects germline progenitors from cell death during aging

<p>During aging, regenerative tissues must dynamically balance the two opposing processes of proliferation and cell death. While many microRNAs are differentially expressed during aging, their roles as dynamic regulators of tissue regeneration have yet to be described. We show that in the highly regenerative <em>Drosophila</em> testis, <em>miR-34</em> levels are significantly elevated during aging. <em>miR-34</em> modulates germ cell death and protects the progenitor germ cells from accelerated aging. However, <em>miR-34</em> is not expressed in the progenitors themselves but rather in neighboring cyst cells that kill the progenitors. Transcriptomics followed by functional analysis revealed that during aging, <em>miR-34</em> modifies integrin signaling by limiting the levels of the heterodimeric integrin receptor αPS2 and βPS subunits. In addition, we found that in cyst cells, this heterodimer is essential for inducing phagoptosis and degradation of the progenitor germ cells. Together, these data suggest that the <em>miR-34</em> – integrin signaling axis acts as a sensor of progenitor germ cell death to extend progenitor functionality during aging.</p>

Extraembryonic gut endoderm cells undergo programmed cell death during development (source data and custom code)

<p>Despite a distinct developmental origin, extraembryonic cells in mice contribute to gut endoderm and converge to transcriptionally resemble their embryonic counterparts. Notably, extraembryonic progenitors share a non-canonical epigenome, raising several pertinent questions, including whether this landscape is reset to match the embryonic regulation and if these cells persist into later development. Here, we developed a two-color lineage tracing strategy to track and isolate extraembryonic cells over time. We find that extraembryonic gut cells display substantial memory of their developmental origin including retention of their original DNA methylation landscape and resulting transcriptional signatures. Furthermore, we show that extraembryonic gut cells undergo programmed cell death and neighboring embryonic cells clear their remnants via non-professional phagocytosis. By midgestation, we no longer detect extraembryonic cells in the wild type gut while they persist and differentiate further in p53 mutant embryos. Our study provides key insights into the molecular and developmental fate of extraembryonic cells inside the embryo.</p>
