From the Cover: Arsenite Uncouples Mitochondrial Respiration and Induces a Warburg-like Effect in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Millions of people worldwide are chronically exposed to arsenic through contaminated drinking water. Despite decades of research studying the carcinogenic potential of arsenic, the mechanisms by which arsenic causes cancer and other diseases remain poorly understood. Mitochondria appear to be an important target of arsenic toxicity. The trivalent arsenical, arsenite, can induce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, inhibit enzymes involved in energy metabolism, and induce aerobic glycolysis in vitro, suggesting that metabolic dysfunction may be important in arsenic-induced disease. Here, using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and a novel metabolic inhibition assay, we report an in vivo induction of aerobic glycolysis following arsenite exposure. Furthermore, arsenite exposure induced severe mitochondrial dysfunction, including altered pyruvate metabolism; reduced steady-state ATP levels, ATP-linked respiration and spare respiratory capacity; and increased proton leak. We also found evidence that induction of autophagy is an important protective response to arsenite exposure. Because these results demonstrate that mitochondria are an important in vivo target of arsenite toxicity, we hypothesized that deficiencies in mitochondrial electron transport chain genes, which cause mitochondrial disease in humans, would sensitize nematodes to arsenite. In agreement with this, nematodes deficient in electron transport chain complexes I, II, and III, but not ATP synthase, were sensitive to arsenite exposure, thus identifying a novel class of gene-environment interactions that warrant further investigation in the human populace.

Epigenetic regulation of glucose transporters in non-small cell lung cancer

Due to their inherently hypoxic environment, cancer cells often resort to glycolysis, or the anaerobic breakdown of glucose to form ATP to provide for their energy needs, known as the Warburg effect. At the same time, overexpression of the insulin receptor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with an increased risk of metastasis and decreased survival. The uptake of glucose into cells is carried out via glucose transporters or GLUTs. Of these, GLUT-4 is essential for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Following treatment with the epigenetic targeting agents histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), GLUT-3 and GLUT-4 expression were found to be induced in NSCLC cell lines, with minimal responses in transformed normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). Similar results for GLUT-4 were observed in cells derived from liver, muscle, kidney and pre-adipocytes. Bioinformatic analysis of the promoter for GLUT-4 indicates that it may also be regulated by several chromatin binding factors or complexes including CTCF, SP1 and SMYD3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that the promoter for GLUT-4 is dynamically remodeled in response to HDACi. Overall, these results may have value within the clinical setting as (a) it may be possible to use this to enhance fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging sensitivity; (b) it may be possible to target NSCLC through the use of HDACi and insulin mediated uptake of the metabolic targeting drugs such as 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG); or (c) enhance or sensitize NSCLC to chemotherapy. © 2011 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

Identyfikacja blednych podpisow w kolekcjach

Weryfikacja poprawnosci podpisów cyfrowych jest obliczeniowo kosztowna. Aby ja zwiekszyc, zamiast pojedynczych podpisów weryfikacji poddaje sie kolekcje. Jezeli wszystkie podpisy w kolekcji sa poprawne, to cała kolekcja jest akceptowana. Pojawienie sie błednych podpisów w kolekcji powoduje, ze weryfikacja jest błedna. Nie mozna odrzucic całej kolekcji, zachodzi wiec koniecznosc identyfikacji błednych podpisów w kolekcji. W artykule zdefiniowano metody identyfikacji błednych podpisów. W szczególnosci okreslono weryfikacje typu „dziel i rzadz”, w których wejsciowe kolekcje sa dzielone na podkolekcje tak długo, az koncowe błedne kolekcje zawieraja pojedyncze podpisy. Opisano równiez weryfikator Hamminga identyfikujacy jeden błedny podpis w kolekcji oraz uogólniono ten weryfikator do postaci dwupoziomowego weryfikatora, umozliwiajacego identyfikacje dwóch błednych podpisów. Podano tez definicje ogólnego weryfikatora zdolnego do identyfikacji dowolnej liczby błednych podpisów w kolekcjach.
