Abstract Background and Object In addition to histone deacetylation, the importance of histone over-acetylation induced oncogene transcription in initiation and progression of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has been proposed recently. Our previous whole-exome sequencing identified a new somatic mutation, ANKRD11, an important factor in histone acetylation regulation. Its roles in MDS pathophysiology need to be clarified. Methods The next generation target sequencing (Including ANKRD11) was carried out in 320 patients with MDS using the MiSeq Benchtop Sequencer. ANKRD11 mRNA expression in bone marrow of MDS was measured by real-time PCR. Loss and gain of function assay were carried out in myeloid cell lines K562, MEG-01£¬or SKM-1 to observe the influence on cell proliferation and differentiation . The levels of histone acetylation at H3 and H4 were detected by Western blot. Results Target sequencing in a cohort of 320 MDS patients identified 14 of ANKRD11 mutations (4.38%, Fig.1), which were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Meanwhile, no ANKRD11 mutations in 100 normal controls were defined. ANKRD11 mutations occurred frequently in exons 10 and 9. The mRNA expression levels of ANKRD11 were significantly decreased in MDS patients, especially in ANKRD11mutant patients (Fig.2). ANKRD11 knockdown in K562 and MEG-1 resulted in growth inhibition, cell cycle arrest and erythroid/megakaryocytic differentiation retardant. In MDS cell line SKM-1, the arrested differentiation was rescued by over-expression of ANKRD11. Consistent with a role for ANKRD11 in histone acetylation, ANKRD11 KD increased acetylation of histones H3 and H4 at H3K14 and H4K5 and resulted in the upregulation of genes involved in differentiation inhibilation (SOX6, P21, et al). Finally, the ANKRD11 KD-mediated influence on cell proliferation and differentiation were reversed by inhibiting histone acetyltransferase activity. Conclusion Our assay defined that ANKRD11 was a crucial chromatin regulator that suppress histone acetylation and then decrease gene expression during myeloid differentiation, providing a likely explanation for its role in MDS pathogenesis. This study further support histone acetylase inhibitor as a potential treatment in MDS. Figure ANKRD11mutation distribution (a) and coexist with other mutations (b). Figure.

Ghrelin, a ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R 1a), is a 28-amino acid peptide with an unusual octanoyl group on Ser3, crucial for its biological activity. For the first time, ghrelin and GHS-R 1b, a truncated variant of the receptor resulting from alternative splicing, but not GHS-R 1a, mRNAs were detected in the human erythroleukemic cell line HEL. Two antibodies, used for RIA, were directed against octanoylated and total (octanoylated and desoctanoylated) ghrelin, and the recognized epitopes were characterized. Using reverse phase HPLC analysis followed by RIA, we demonstrated that octanoylated and desoctanoylated ghrelins were present in HEL cells and their culture medium, of which more than 90% was octanoylated. The ghrelin levels were not affected after 24 h treatment with sodium butyrate, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, or forskolin, but a significant 3-fold increase in desoctanoylated ghrelin was detected in the culture medium after 48 h treatment with sodium butyrate. The antighrelin SB801 and SB969 antisera inhibited HEL cell proliferation by 24% and 39%, respectively, after 72 h. Taken together, these data suggested that endogenous ghrelin stimulated HEL cell proliferation by an autocrine pathway involving an unidentified receptor, distinct from GHS-R1a, and that the HEL cell line represents a unique model to study the octanoylation of ghrelin.

Background:: Icariin (ICA), one of the main effective components isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Epimedium brevicornu Maxim., has been reported to possess extensive pharmacological actions, including enhanced sexual function, immune regulation, anti-inflammation, and antiosteoporosis. Methods:: Our study was designed to investigate the effect of ICA on cell proliferation and differentiation and the molecular mechanism of OPG/RANKL mediated by the Estrogen Receptor (ER) in hFOB1.19 human osteoblast cells. Results:: The experimental results show that ICA can stimulate cell proliferation and increase the activity of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Osteocalcin (BGP) and I Collagen (Col I) and a number of calcified nodules. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression of OPG and RANKL and the OPG/ RANKL mRNA and protein expression ratios were upregulated by ICA. The above-mentioned results indicated that the optimal concentration of ICA for stimulating osteogenesis was 50ng/mL. Subsequent mechanistic studies comparing 50ng/mL ICA with an estrogen receptor antagonist demonstrated that the effect of the upregulated expression is connected with the estrogen receptor. In conclusion, ICA can regulate bone formation by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation and upregulating the OPG/RANKL expression ratio by the ER in hFOB1.19 human osteoblast cells.

It has been proposed that some bystander T cell activation may in fact be due to T cell antigen receptor (TCR) cross-reactivity that is too low to be detected by the effector cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). However, this hypothesis is not supported by direct evidence since no TCR ligand is known to induce T cell proliferation and differentiation without being recognized by the effector CTL. Here we report that transgenic T cells expressing a T cell receptor to influenza virus A/NT/68 nucleoprotein (NP) 366-374:Db complexes clonally expand and become effector CTLs in response to homologous peptides from either A/PR8/34 (H1N1), A/AA/60 (H2N2), or A/NT/68 (H3N2). However, the effector T cells induced by each of the three peptides kill target cells pulsed with NP peptides from the H3N2 and H2N2 viruses, but not from the H1N1 virus. Thus, NP366–374 from influenza virus H1N1 is the first TCR ligand that can induce T cell proliferation and differentiation without being recognized by CTLs. Since induction of T cell proliferation was mediated by antigen-presenting cells that express costimulatory molecules such as B7, we investigated if cytolysis of H1N1 NP peptide–pulsed targets can be restored by expressing B7-1 on the target cells. Our results revealed that this is the case. These data demonstrated that costimulatory molecule B7 modulates antigen specificity of CTLs, and provides a missing link that explains some of the bystander T cell activation.
