    Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive type of lung cancer driven by combined loss of the tumor suppressors RB1 and TP53. SCLC is highly metastatic and despite good initial response to chemotherapy patients usually relapse, resulting in poor survival. Therefore, better understanding of the mechanisms driving SCLC pathogenesis is required to identify new therapeutic targets. Here we identified a critical role of the IKK/NF-κB signaling pathway in SCLC development. Using a relevant mouse model of SCLC, we found that ablation of NEMO/IKKγ, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex that is essential for activation of canonical NF-κB signaling, strongly delayed the onset and growth of SCLC resulting in considerably prolonged survival. In addition, ablation of the main NF-κB family member p65/RelA also delayed the onset and growth of SCLC and prolonged survival, albeit to a lesser extent than NEMO. Interestingly, constitutive activation of IKK/NF-κB signaling within the tumor cells did not exacerbate the pathogenesis of SCLC, suggesting that endogenous NF-κB levels are sufficient to fully support tumor development. Moreover, TNFR1 deficiency did not affect the development of SCLC, showing that TNF signaling does not play an important role in this tumor type. Taken together, our results revealed that IKK/NF-κB signaling plays an important role in promoting SCLC, identifying the IKK/NF-κB pathway as a promising therapeutic target.

    Abstract Organismal physiology and survival are influenced by environmental conditions and linked to protein quality control. Proteome integrity is achieved by maintaining an intricate balance between protein folding and degradation. In Caenorhabditis elegans, acute heat stress determines cell non-autonomous regulation of chaperone levels. However, how the perception of environmental changes, including physiological temperature, affects protein degradation remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that loss-of-function of dyf-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans associated with dysfunctional sensory neurons leads to defects in both temperature perception and thermal adaptation of the ubiquitin/proteasome system centered on thermosensory AFD neurons. Impaired perception of moderate temperature changes worsens ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in intestinal cells. Brain-gut communication regulating protein turnover is mediated by upregulation of the insulin-like peptide INS-5 and inhibition of the calcineurin-regulated forkhead-box transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO. Our data indicate that perception of ambient temperature and its neuronal integration is important for the control of proteome integrity in complex organisms.

    Abstract Histones are the major proteinaceous component of chromatin in eukaryotic cells and an important part of the epigenome, affecting most DNA-related events, including transcription, DNA replication, and chromosome segregation. The properties of histones are greatly influenced by their post-translational modifications (PTMs), over 200 of which are known today. Given this large number, researchers need sophisticated methods to study histone PTMs comprehensively. In particular, mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches have gained popularity, allowing for the quantification of dozens of histone PTMs at once. Using these approaches, even the study of co-occurring PTMs and the discovery of novel PTMs become feasible. The success of MS-based approaches relies substantially on obtaining pure and well-preserved histones for analysis, which can be difficult depending on the source material. Caenorhabditis elegans has been a popular model organism to study the epigenome, but isolation of pure histones from these animals has been challenging. Here, we address this issue, presenting a method for efficient isolation of pure histone proteins from C. elegans at good yield. Further, we describe an MS pipeline optimized for accurate relative quantification of histone PTMs from C. elegans. We alkylate and tryptically digest the histones, analyze them by bottom-up MS, and then evaluate the resulting data by a C. elegans-adapted version of the software EpiProfile 2.0. Finally, we show the utility of this pipeline by determining differences in histone PTMs between C. elegans strains that age at different rates and thereby achieve very different lifespans. © 2020 The Authors.
