Description
Scope: As a result of population ageing, the number of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients has rapidly increased. There are many hypothesises on the pathogenesis of AD, but its detailed molecular mechanism is still unknown, and so no effective preventive or therapeutic measures have been established. Some reports showed a decrease in levels of norepinephrine (NE) has been suspected to be involved in the decline of cognitive function in AD patients and NE concentrations were decreased in postmortem AD patient brains. Tyr-Trp was identified as being the most effective dipeptide in enhancing norepinephrine (NE) synthesis and metabolism. And Tyr-Trp treatment ameliorated the short-term memory dysfunction in AD model mice caused by amyloid beta (Aβ) 25-35. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive or/and protective effects of Tyr-Trp administration in AD model mice.

Description
Dietary restriction extends lifespan and delays the age-related physiological decline in many species. Intermittent fasting (IF) is one of the most effective dietary restriction regimens that extends lifespan in C. elegans and mammals1,2. In C. elegans, the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16 is implicated in fasting-induced gene expression changes and the longevity response to IF3; however, the mechanisms that sense and transduce fasting-stress stimuli have remained largely unknown. Here we show that a KGB-1/AP1 (activator protein 1) module is a key signalling pathway that mediates fasting-induced transcriptional changes and IF-induced longevity. Our promoter analysis coupled to genome-wide microarray results has shown that the AP-1-binding site, together with the FOXO-binding site, is highly over-represented in the promoter regions of fasting-induced genes. We find that JUN-1 (C. elegans c-Jun) and FOS-1 (C. elegans c-Fos), which constitute the AP-1 transcription factor complex, are required for IF-induced longevity. We also find that KGB-1 acts as a direct activator of JUN-1 and FOS-1, is activated in response to fasting, and, among the three C. elegans JNKs, is specifically required for IF-induced longevity. Our results demonstrate that most fasting-induced upregulated genes, including almost all of the DAF-16-dependent genes, require KGB-1 and JUN-1 function for their induction, and that the loss of kgb-1 suppresses the fasting-induced upregulation of DAF-16 target genes without affecting fasting-induced DAF-16 nuclear translocation. These findings identify the evolutionarily conserved JNK/AP-1 module as a key mediator of fasting-stress responses, and suggest a model in which two fasting-induced signalling pathways leading to DAF-16 nuclear translocation and KGB-1/AP-1 activation, respectively, integrate in the nucleus to coordinately mediate fasting-induced transcriptional changes and IF-induced longevity.

Description
Intermittent fasting is one of the most effective dietary restriction regimens that extend life-span in C. elegans and mammals. Fasting-stimulus responses are key to the longevity response; however, the mechanisms that sense and transduce fasting-stimulus have remained largely unknown. Through a comprehensive transcriptome analysis in C. elegans, we have found that along with the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, AP-1 (JUN-1/FOS-1) plays a central role in fasting-induced transcriptional changes. KGB-1, one of the C. elegans JNKs, acted as an activator of AP-1, and was activated in response to fasting. KGB-1 and AP-1 were involved in intermittent fasting-induced longevity. Fasting-induced upregulation of the components of the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex via AP-1 and DAF-16 enhanced protein ubiquitination, and reduced protein carbonylation. Our results have thus identified a fasting-responsive KGB-1/AP-1 signaling pathway, which, together with DAF-16, causes transcriptional changes that mediate longevity partly through regulating proteostasis.

Description
C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) plays pivotal roles in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis. Although CCL2 expression has been found to be dependent on the nuclear factor (NF)B signaling pathway, the regulation of CCL2 production in tumor cells has remained unclear. We have identified a noncanonical pathway for regulation of CCL2 production that is mediated by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) but independent of NF-B. Multiple phosphoproteomics approaches identified the transcription factor forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) as a downstream target of mTORC1. Activation of mTORC1 induces dephosphorylation of FOXK1 resulting in transactivation of the CCL2 gene. Inhibition of the mTORC1-FOXK1 axis attenuated insulin-induced CCL2 production as well as the accumulation of tumor-associated monocytes-macrophages and tumor progression in mice. Our results suggest that FOXK1 directly links mTORC1 signaling and CCL2 expression in a manner independent of NF-B, and that CCL2 produced by this pathway contributes to tumor progression.

Description
Although EWS/FLI-1 fusion protein is responsible for most Ewings sarcoma family tumors (ESFT), the function of native EWS remains largely unknown. Here, we first showed that EWS repressed protein expression in a tethering assay. mRNAs bound to EWS were determined by RNA-immunoprecipitation Chip assay, and one of them, proline-rich Akt substrate of 40 kDa (PRAS40) mRNA, directly interacted with EWS. The inhibitor of AKT, API-2, repressed ESFT cell proliferation. We demonstrate that EWS negatively regulated PRAS40 protein expression through binding to PRAS40 3UTR. Furthermore, PRAS40 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and metastatic potential of ESFT cells.
