G-protein beta 3 subunit polymorphisms and essential hypertension： a case-control association study in northern Han Chinese

Objective To explore the association between the three polymorphisms [ C825T, C1429T and G（-350）A] of the gene encoding the G protein beta 3 subunit （GNB3） and hypertension by performing a case-control study in the northern Han Chinese population. Methods We recnaited 731 hypertensive patients and 673 control subjects （the calculated power value was 〉 0.8）. Genotyping was performed to identify C825T, C1429T and G（-350）A polymorphisms using the TaqMan assay. Comparisons of allelic and genotypic frequencies between cases and controls were made by using the chi-square test. Logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the relationships between the three polymorphisms of GNB3 gene under different genetic models （additive, dominant and recessive models）. Results The genotype dis- tribution and allele frequencies of C825T, C1429T and G（-350）A polymorphisms did not differ significantly between hypertensive patients and control subjects, either when the full sample was assessed, or when the sample was stratified by gender. No significant association was observed between C825T, C 1429T and G（-350）A polymorphisms and the risk of essential hypertension in any genetic model. Linkage dis- equilibrium was only detected between C825T and C 1429T polymorphisms. Haplotype analyses observed that none of the three estimated haplotypes significantly increased the risk of hypertension. Conclusions Our study suggested that the GNB3 gene polymorphisms [C825T, C 1429T and G（-350）A] were not significantly associated with essential hypertension in northern Han Chinese population.

Association between G-protein β3 subunit gene and isolated systolic blood pressure elevation of greater than 130 mmHg: A large-scale cross-sectional study in the Japanese population

AIM To investigate whether GNB3 C825 T single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) contributes to systolic blood pressure(SBP) ≥ 130 mmH g in a large-scale cross-sectional study among the Japanese population with diastolic blood pressure(DBP) < 85 mmH g. METHODS We analyzed 11008 Japanese subjects, including 2797 cases(SBP ≥ 130 and DBP < 85 mmH g) who were not taking anti-hypertensive medication and 8211 controls(SBP < 130 and DBP < 85 mmH g), all of whom enrolled in the genome banking project of the 21 st Century COE(Center of Excellence) Program at Jichi Medical University. Subjects were divided into four groups according to gender(male and female) and age(≤ 49 years and ≥ 50 years). GNB3 gene polymorphism was determined using the TaqM an probe method. We compared the frequencies of alleles and genotypes between cases and controls by chi-squared test. The strength of the associations was estimated by odds ratios(ORs) and 95%CI by using logistic regression analysis. The ORs were adjusted for age and body mass index. RESULTS Allele and genotype distributions significantly differed between cases and controls only in males aged ≤ 49 years. Compared to the CC genotype, a significant OR was obtained in the TT genotype among males aged ≤ 49 years.CONCLUSION This study indicates that the TT genotype of the GNB3 C825 T SNP may contribute to SBP elevation of greater than 130 mmH g compared to the CC genotype in Japanese males aged ≤ 49 years.

Frequency of C825T G protein β3 subunit gene polymorphism and its association with obesity in the Kyrgyz population

Objective:To examine the frequency of C825T G protein β3 subunit gene polymorphism and its association with obesity of ethnic Kyrgyz.Methods:The study enrolled 210 people,89 patients(35 females,54 males)with obesity(BMI≥30 kg/m2)and 121 practically healthy patients(38 females,83 males)with normal body weight and no signs of type 2 diabetes(group of control),who were not observed before by a cardiologist.The blood pressure,anthropometry,glucose and lipid profile were examined among all subjects.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells.G proteinβ3 subunit C825T polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results:TT and CT genotypes carriers were grouped together in one group because the TT genotype was rare.CT+TT genotype frequency in the group with obesity made 0.72 and was significantly higher than that in the control group-0.52(χ2-8.44;P=0.004;odds ratio-2.55;95%CI 1.31-4.23).The statistical analysis revealed that hypertension(45%vs.31.3%,P=0.049)and obesity(51.2%vs.30%,P<0.01)occurred significantly more often in CT+TT genotype carriers than in the CC homozygotes.The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of 825T allele(exp β-2.89;95%CI 1.25-6.7;P=0.013),along with the occasional consumption of vegetables(exp β-3.47;95%CI 1.52-7.94;P=0.003)was the significant risk factor for obesity,regardless of gender,age and level of physical activity.In the construction of the similar regression model for hypertension,the statistically significant role of 825T allele was lost after adjustment for obesity as an independent variable.Conclusion:G protein β3 subunit gene C825T allele in the Kyrgyz ethnic group has an association with obesity.

Heterotrimeric G protein α subunit is involved in rice brassinosteroid response

Heterotrimeric G proteins are known to function as messengers in numerous signal transduction pathways.The nullmutation of RGA(rice heterotrimeric G protein α subunit),which encodes the α subunit of heterotrimeric G proteinin rice,causes severe dwarfism and reduced responsiveness to gibberellic acid in rice.However,less is known aboutheterotrimeric G protein in brassinosteroid(BR)signaling,one of the well-understood phytohormone pathways.In thepresent study,we used root elongation inhibition assay,lamina inclination assay and coleoptile elongation analysis todemonstrated reduced sensitivity of dl mutant plants(caused by the null mutation of RGA)to 24-epibrassinolide(24-epiBL),which belongs to brassinosteroids and plays a wide variety of roles in plant growth and development.Moreover,RGA transcript level was decreased in 24-epiBL-treated seedlings in a dose-dependent manner.Our results show thatRGA is involved in rice brassinosteroid response,which may be beneficial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Gprotein signaling and provide a novel perspective to understand BR signaling in higher plants.

Gene Cloning and Expression Analysis of G Protein αq Subunit from Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée)

The cDNA encoding the G protein αq subunit was isolated from the antennae of Helicoverpa assulta （Guen6e） by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and named as HassGαq. Sequencing analysis showed that the fulllength of HassGαq open reading frame （ORF） is 1 062 bp, 353 amino acid residues are encoded. The predicted molecular weights （MW） and isoelectric point （PI） are 41.5 kD and 5.15, respectively. HassGαq gene was then constructed into expression vector pGEX-4T-2 for over expression in prokaryotic cells. The SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed that induced by Isopropyl-β-D-Thiogalactoside （IPTG）, the GST-HassGαq fusion protein is expressed in Escherichia coil BL21, and its MW was found to be about 66 kD nearly equal to the predicted. In addition, RT-PCR analysis showed that the expressions of HassGαq are not tissue specific.

CARMA3: A novel scaffold protein in regulation of NF-κB activation and diseases

CARD recruited membrane associated protein 3 (CARMA3) is a novel scaffold protein. It belongs to the CARMA protein family, and is known to activate nuclear factor (NF)- κB. However, it is still unknown which receptor functions upstream of CARMA3 to trigger NF-κB activation. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that CARMA3 serves as an indispensable adaptor protein in NF-κB signaling under some G protein-coupled receptors (GP- CRs), such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor and angiotensin (Ang) Ⅱ receptor. Mechanistically, CARMA3 recruits its essential downstream molecules Bcl10 and MALT1 to form the CBM (CARMA3-Bcl10-MALT1) signalosome whereby it triggers NF-κB activation. GPCRs and NF-κB play pivotal roles in the regulation of various cellular functions, therefore, aberrant regulation of the GPCR/NF-κB signaling axis leads to the development of many types of diseases, such as cancer and atherogenesis. Recently, the GPCR/CARMA3/NF-κB signaling axis has been confirmed in these specific diseases and it plays crucial roles in the pathogenesis of disease progression. In ovarian cancer cell lines, knockdown of CARMA3 abolishes LPA receptor-induced NF-κB activation, and reduces LPA-induced ovarian cancer invasion. In vascular smooth cells, downregulation of CARMA3 substantially impairs Ang-Ⅱ-receptor-induced NF-κB activation, and in vivo studies have confirmed that Bcl10- deficient mice are protected from developing Ang-Ⅱ-receptor-induced atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms. In this review, we summarize the biology of CARMA3, describe the role of the GPCR/CARMA3/NF-κB signaling axis in ovarian cancer and atherogenesis, and speculate about the potential roles of this signaling axis in other types of cancer and diseases. With a significant increase in the identification of LPA- and Ang-Ⅱ-like ligands, such as endothelin-1, which also activates NF-κB via CARMA3 and contributes to the development of many diseases, CARMA3 is emerging as a novel therapeutic target for various types of cancer and other diseases.

AIM:To evaluate the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of idiopathic infant cholestasis.METHODS:We performed a case-control study,in-cluding 78 infants with idiopathic infant cholestasis and 113 healthy infants as controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood leukocytes us-ing phenol chloroform methodology.Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the multidrug resistance protein 3(MDR3)R652G fragment,and products were sequenced using the ABI 3100 Sequencer.RESULTS:The R652G single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)was significantly more frequent in healthy infants(allele frequency 8.0%)than in patients(allele frequency 2.60%)(P < 0.05),odds ratio,0.29;95% confidence interval,0.12-0.84.The conjugated bilirubin in patients with the AG genotype was significantly lower than in those with the AA genotype(44.70 ± 6.15 μmol/L vs 95.52 ± 5.93 μmol/L,P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:MDR3 R652G is negatively correlated with idiopathic infant cholestasis.Children with the R652G SNP in Guangxi of China may have reduced susceptibility to infant intrahepatic cholestasis.

Gene Cloning and Tissue-Specific Expression of G Protein β Subunit in Microplitis mediator (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

A gene encoding a novel G protein β subunit of β1 subclass, GβMmed was isolated from Microplitis mediator （Hymenoptera： Braconidae）. The full-length sequence of GβMmed is 1 119 bp, the cDNA contains a 1 023 bp open reading frame that encodes a protein with 340 amino acids, and the predicted molecular weight of GβMmed is 37.23 kDa and isoelectric point is 5.86. By the quantitative real-time RT-PCR method, the tissue-specific expression and quantitative changes in the developmental expression profile of GβMmed were detected. It was found that GβMmed was abundantly expressed in M. mediator antennae, head （without antennae）, thorax, abdomen, legs and the wings, and especially at high levels in abdomen. In antennae, expression varied through 1st day before emergence to 5-d-old adults, and had equal expression levels detected in females and males in total. In head, GβMmed expresses while initially high in females, and have another peaked in stage 4 and 1st day, in males showed a peak of GβMmed expression prior to emergence and relatively low levels after emergence. In female abdomen GβMmed expression levels have two peaks in stage 1 and the 5th d, but just have one peak in male abdomen in stage 1. In all other tissues expression was low and stable.

HIV-1 Vif Protein Mediates the Degradation of APOBEC3G in Fission Yeast When Over-expressed Using Codon Optimization

Interaction between the HIV-1 Vif protein and the cellular host APOBEC3G protein is a promising target for inhibition of HIV-1 replication. Considering that human cells are a very complicated environment for the study of protein interactions, the goal of this study was to check whether fission yeast could be used as a model cell for studying the Vif-APOBEC3G interaction. Vif and APOBEC3G were expressed in fusion with GFP protein in the S. pombe SP223 strain. Subcellular localizations of Vif and APOBEC3G were observed with fluorescent microscopy. Codon optimization was used to over express the Vif protein in S. pombe cells. The degradation of APOBEC3G mediated by Vif was tested through expressing Vif and GFP-APOBEC3G proteins in the same cell. Western Blot analysis was used to measure the corresponding protein levels under different experimental conditions. The results showed that the Vif protein was predominantly localized in the nucleus of S. pombe cells, APOBEC3G was localized in the cytoplasm and concentrated at punctate bodies that were often in close proximity to the nucleus but were not necessarily restricted from other regions in the cytoplasm. Vif protein expression levels were increased significantly by using codon optimization and APOBEC3G was degraded when Vif was over-expressed in the same S. pombe cells. These results indicate that fission yeast is a good model for studying the interaction between the Vif and APOBEC3G proteins.

Phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 4 participates in the occurrence and development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by regulating autophagy

The development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)may be related to the abnormal alterations of multiple proteins.Our previous study revealed that the expression of phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 4(PIK3R4)was decreased in ALS.However,the role of PIK3R4 in ALS pathogenesis remains unknown.This study was the first to find that transfection of PC12 cells with small interfering RNA against the PIK3R4 gene significantly decreased the expression levels of PIK3R4 and the autophagy-related proteins p62 and LC3.Additionally,in vivo experiments revealed that the PIK3R4 protein was extensively expressed in the anterior horn,posterior horn,central canal,and areas surrounding the central canal in cervical,thoracic,and lumbar segments of the spinal cord in adult mice.PIK3R4 protein was mainly expressed in the neurons within the spinal lumbar segments.PIK3R4 and p62 expression levels were significantly decreased at both the pre-onset and onset stages of ALS disease in Tg(SOD1*G93A)1 Gur mice compared with control mice,but these proteins were markedly increased at the progression stage.LC3 protein expression did not change during progression of ALS.These findings suggest that PIK3R4 likely participates in the prevention of ALS progression.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee for Animal Care and Use of Jiangxi Provincial People’s Hospital,Affiliated People’s Hospital of Nanchang University(approval No.2020025)on March 26,2020.

Long non-coding RNA CDKN2B-AS1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression via E2F transcription factor 1/G protein subunit alpha Z axis

BACKGROUND A series of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)have been reported to play a crucial role in cancer biology.Some previous studies report that lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 is involved in some human malignancies.However,its role in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)has not been fully deciphered.AIM To decipher the role of CDKN2B-AS1 in the progression of HCC.METHODS CDKN2B-AS1 expression in HCC was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.The malignant phenotypes of Li-7 and SNU-182 cells were detected by the CCK-8 method,EdU method,and flow cytometry,respectively.RNA immunoprecipitation was executed to confirm the interaction between CDKN2B-AS1 and E2F transcription factor 1(E2F1).Luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation were performed to verify the binding of E2F1 to the promoter of G protein subunit alpha Z(GNAZ).E2F1 and GNAZ were detected by western blot in HCC cells.RESULTS In HCC tissues,CDKN2B-AS1 was upregulated.Depletion of CDKN2B-AS1 inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells,and the depletion of CDKN2B-AS1 also induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.CDKN2B-AS1 could interact with E2F1.Depletion of CDKN2B-AS1 inhibited the binding of E2F1 to the GNAZ promoter region.Overexpression of E2F1 reversed the biological effects of depletion of CDKN2B-AS1 on the malignant behaviors of HCC cells.CONCLUSION CDKN2B-AS1 recruits E2F1 to facilitate GNAZ transcription to promote HCC progression.

G-protein β subunit AGB1 positively regulates salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis

The heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins（G-proteins） in eukaryotes consisted of α, β and γ subunits and are important in molecular signaling by interacting with G-protein-coupled receptors（GPCR）, on which to transduce signaling into the cytoplast through appropriate downstream effectors. However, downstream effectors regulated by the G-proteins in plants are currently not well defined. In this study, the transcripts of AGB1, a G protein β subunit gene in Arabidopsis were found to be down-regulated by cold and heat, but up-regulated by high salt stress treatment. AGB1 mutant（agb1-2） was more sensitive to high salt stress than wild-type（WT）. Compared with WT, the cotyledon greening rates, fresh weight, root length, seedling germination rates and survival rates decreased more rapidly in agb1-2 along with increasing concentrations of Na Cl in normal（MS） medium. Physiological characteristic analysis showed that compared to WT, the contents of chlorophyll, relative proline accumulation and peroxidase（POD） were reduced, whereas the malonaldehyde（MDA） content and concentration ratio of Na＋/K＋ were increased in agb1-2 under salt stress condition. Further studies on the expression of several stress inducible genes associated with above physiological processes were investigated, and the results revealed that the expressions of genes related to proline biosynthesis, oxidative stress response, Na＋ homeostasis, stress- and ABAresponses were lower in agb1-2 than in WT, suggesting that those genes are possible downstream genes of AGB1 and that their changed expression plays an important role in determining phenotypic and physiologic traits in agb1-2. Taken together, these findings indicate that AGB1 positively regulates salt tolerance in Arabidopsis through its modulation of genes transcription related to proline biosynthesis, oxidative stress, ion homeostasis, stress- and ABA-responses.
