We have studied the expression of genes encoding proliferation related factors and enzymes such as IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM, and MTIF2 in U87 glioma cells upon glucose and glutamine deprivation in relation to inhibition of inositol requiring enzyme 1, a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress. It was shown that glutamine deprivation leads to up-regulation of the expression of BET1, MYL9, and MTIF2 genes and down-regulation of CD24, ING2, ENDOG, POLG, and TSFM genes in control (with native IRE1) glioma cells. At the same time, glucose deprivation enhances the expression of MYL9 gene only and decreases - ING1, ING2, and MTIF2 genes in control glioma cells. Thus, effect of glucose and glutamine deprivation on gene expressions in glioma cells is gene-specific. Inhibition of inositol requiring enzyme 1 by dnIRE1 significantly modifies the effect of both glutamine and glucose deprivation on the expression of most studied genes with different direction and magnitude, especially for ING2, CD24, and MTIF2 genes. Present study demonstrates that IRE1 knockdown modifies glucose and glutamine deprivation effects on the expression of proliferation related genes and possibly contributes to slower tumor growth of these glioma cells after inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme.
Key words: proliferation related genes expression, IRE1 inhibition, glucose and glutamine deprivation, glioma cells.
Plentiful studies have proven the connection between endoplasmic reticulum stress and malignant growth [1-4]. Neoplasms use signaling pathways of endoplasmic reticulum stress response to adapt and to enhance tumor cells proliferation under unfavorable environmental conditions [5-7]. It is well known that activation of IRE1/ERN1 (inositol requiring enzyme 1/endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1) branch of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response under certain circumstances may lead to apoptosis and to cell death, and suppression of its function significantly inhibits glioma growth [8-11]. Glucose and glutamine are substrates for glycolysis and glutaminolysis. These key metabolic pathways participate in cell cycle control at multiple points and thus are of
importance for tumor progression [12, 13]. The activation of glycolysis and glutaminolysis in cancer cells depends on two ubiquitin ligases, which control the transient appearance and metabolic activity of the glycolysis-promoting enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/ fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-3 (PFKFB3) and glutaminase 1 (GLS1), the first enzyme of glutaminolysis pathway [12].
Gliomas constitute one of the most aggressive groups of malignant neoplasms with poor survival prognosis and scarce therapeutic options. Aberrant vascularization, common in expanding solid tumors, results in deficiency of oxygen and nutrients. Glucose shortage associated with malignant progression triggers apoptosis through the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response [14].
To some extend, a reduced glucose flux may be causative to endoplasmic reticulum stress [14]. Thus, a better understanding of effects of glucose and glutamine deprivations on genes expression especially in relation to endoplasmic reticulum stress is required to elaborate therapeutical strategies of cell sensibilization, based on the blockade of survival mechanisms [4, 14-18].
The endoplasmic reticulum is a key cellular compartment, extremely sensitive to perturbations of its homeostasis. Such perturbations, which affect the ER folding capacity, activate a set of signaling pathways, named the unfolded protein response. The latter plays an important role in metabolic integration [5, 6, 19]. In mammals this adaptive response is mediated by three membrane-spanning sensory proteins, among which IRE1 is the most evolutionary conversed and an indispensable [1, 6, 7, 11]. The IRE1 enzyme possesses two enzymatic activities: protein kinase and endoribonuclease. Recently it was demonstrated, that protein kinase of IRE1 is responsible not only for autophosphorylation but also indirectly controls expression of certain genes through phosphorylation of heterologous substrates [7, 20]. The IRE1 endoribonuclease performs a unique cytosolic splicing of the pre-XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1) mRNA whose mature transcript encodes a transcription factor, which stimulates the expression of numerous unfolded protein response specific genes, and also is involved in the degradation of a specific subset of mRNA and miRNA [21-26].
Tumor growth is tightly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum stress response signaling pathways, which are linked to the cell proliferation and death processes [2, 3, 8]. It is well known that IL13RA2 (interleukin 13 receptor, alpha 2), CD24 (signal transducer CD24 molecule), KRT18 (keratin 18), ING1 (inhibitor of growth family, member 1), ING2, ENDOG (endonuclease G) and many other genes play an important role in the regulation of numerous metabolic and proliferative processes as well as control of tumorigenesis [27-31]. The IL13RA2 gene is often overexpressed in glioma and other tumors [27]. CD24 encodes a sialoglycoprotein that modulates growth and differentiation signals [29]. The ING1 and ING2 genes encode tumor suppressor proteins that can induce cell growth arrest and apoptosis [30, 32]. Furthermore, the ING1 is a nuclear protein that physically interacts with the tumor suppressor protein TP53 and is a component
of its signaling pathway. Reduced expression and rearrangement of this gene have been detected in various cancers [33, 34]. Moreover, ING1 protein stabilizes TP53 by inhibiting its polyubiquitination [35].
Recently was shown that KRT18 (keratin 18) also contributes to decreased malignancy of non-small cell lung carcinoma and is directly regulated by EGR1 (early growth response
1) [36]. There is data that the decreased expression of MYL9 (myosin, light chain 9, regulatory) may play an important role in tumor progression of prostate cancer [31]. It is possible that membrane trafficking proteins BET1 (Bet1 Golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein) and BET3/TRAPPC3 (trafficking protein particle complex 3), which participate in vesicular transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex, also involved in the endoplasmic reticulum stress responsible transport of unfolded proteins and tumorigenesis [37]. The ENDOG, POLG (DNA directed polymerase gamma), TSFM (Ts mitochondrial translational elongation factor), and MTIF2 (mitochondrial translational initiation factor
2) genes encode mitochondrial proteins, which are related to the control of mitochondrial genome function as well as to cell proliferation [38-42]. Moreover, ENDOG regulates an integral network of apoptotic endonucleases, which appear to act simultaneously before and after cell death by destroying the host cell DNA [38, 43].
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of glucose and glutamine deprivation on the expression of a subset of genes encoding factors and enzymes (IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, BET3/TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM, and MTIF2), which participate in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, in U87 glioma cell line and its subline with IRE1 loss of function for evaluation of possible significance of these genes in the control of tumor growth through IRE1-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling.
Materials and Methods
Cell Lines and Culture Conditions
The glioma cell line U87 (HTB-14) was obtained from ATCC (USA) and grown in high glucose (4.5 g/l) Dulbecco's modified Eagle's minimum essential medium (DMEM; Gibco, Invitrogen, USA) supplemented with glutamine (2 mM), 10% fetal bovine serum (Equitech-Bio, Inc., USA), penicillin (100 units/ml; Gibco,
USA) and streptomycin (0.1 mg/ml; Gibco) at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Glucose and glutamine deprivation conditions were created by exchanging the complete DMEM medium in culture plates with DMEM medium lacking glucose or glutamine. Plates were exposed to these conditions for 16 h.
In this work we used two sublines of U87 glioma cells. One subline was obtained by selection of stable transfected clones with overexpression of vector (pcDNA3.1), which was used for creation of dominant-negative construct (dnIRE1). This untreated subline of glioma cells was used as control (control glioma cells) in the study of the effects of glutamine and glucose deprivations on the expression level of IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, BET3/TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM, and MTIF2 genes. Second subline was obtained by selection of stable transfected clones with overexpression of dnIRE1 and has suppressed both protein kinase and endoribonuclease activities of this bifunctional signaling enzyme of endoplasmic reticulum stress [20]. Previously was shown that these cells have low proliferation rate and do not express XBP1 alternative splice variant, a key transcription factor in IRE1 signaling, after induction endoplasmic reticulum stress by tunicamycin [20, 44]. The expression levels of the studied genes in these cells upon glutamine and glucose deprivations were compared with cells, transfected with vector (control glioma cells).

Results and Discussion
To test the effect of glutamine and glucose deprivations on expression levels of different genes, strongly related to both positive and negative control of cell proliferation in relation to IRE1 signaling enzyme function, we used the U87 glioma cell sublines, which constitutively express vector pcDNA3.1 (control cells) or dnIRE1 [10, 20]. Fig. 1 demonstrates that glutamine deprivation affects the expression of studied genes at mRNA level: up-regulates the expression of BET1 (+30%), MYL9 (+13%), and MTIF2 (+18%) genes and down-regulates of CD24 (-39%), ING2 (-35%), ENDOG (-36%), POLG (-24%), and TSFM (-18%) gene expressions as compared to control glioma cells growing with glutamine. It is interesting to note that more prominent changes in the expression levels were shown for CD24, ING2, and ENDOG genes as compared to other studied genes. At the same time, the expression of IL13RA2, KRT18, ING1, and BET3/TRAPPC3 genes at mRNA level was resistant to glutamine deprivation in control glioma cells.
We also analyzed the expression levels of genes encoded different proliferation
and apoptosis related factors and enzymes in glioma cells upon glucose deprivation. As shown in Fig. 2, glucose deprivation up-regulates the expression level of MYL9 (+55%) gene only and down-regulates of ING1 (-14%), ING2 (-20%), and MTIF2 (-13%) gene expressions in control glioma cells as compared to cells growing with glucose. More significant changes in the expression level of studied genes were shown for MYL9 gene only. At the same time, the expression of IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, BET1, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, and TSFM genes at mRNA level was resistant to glucose deprivation in control glioma cells.
We next studied how inhibition of IRE1 modulates the effect of glutamine and glucose deprivation on the expression of IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM, and MTIF2 genes. As shown in Fig. 3, the expression of IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, MYL9, and POLG genes is resistant to glutamine deprivation condition in glioma cells with knockdown of signaling enzyme IRE1. However, the expression of genes encoding ING1, ING2, ENDOG, and POLG upon glutamine deprivation is significantly down-regulated in glioma cells with IRE1knockdown: for ING1 in 2.4 fold, for ING2 in 2.0 fold, and for ENDOG (-16%). At the same time, the expression of four studied genes is up-regulated in U87 glioma cells upon this experimental condition (BET1, TRAPPC3, TSFM, and MTIF2):
+60%, +23%, +26%, and +96%, respectively (Fig. 3). Therefore, inhibition of IRE1 completely abolishes the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression CD24, MYL9, and POLG genes.
Results presented in Fig. 4 demonstrate that inhibition of signaling enzyme IRE1 leads to significant up-regulation of the expression of MTIF2 (+62%), MYL9 (+27%), IL13RA2 (+24%), BET1 (+23%), and TRAPPC3 (+19%) genes in glioma cells upon glucose deprivation condition. At the same time, the expression of four other genes is down-regulated in U87 glioma cells with IRE1 knockdown upon glucose deprivation: KRT18 (-13%), CD24 (-37%), ING1 (-48%), and ING2 (-27%). However, the expression of genes encoded ENDOG, TSFM, and POLG is resistant to glucose deprivation condition in glioma cells with IRE1 knockdown (Fig. 4).
Fig. 5 contains the results of comparative study of the sensitivity of IL13RA2, CD24, ING1, BET1, MTIF2, and BET3 (TRAPPC3) gene expressions to glutamine deprivation in two types of glioma cells: control cells and cells without IRE1 signaling enzyme function. It was shown that inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme enhances the sensitivity of IL13RA2, CD24, ING1, BET1, TRAPPC3, and MTIF2 genes expression to glutamine deprivation condition in glioma cells. At the same time, the sensitivity of MYL9 gene expression is eliminated upon glucose deprivation. As shown in Fig. 6, the sensitivity of ENDOG and POLG

hereinafter — both controls is accepted as 100%; NS — no significant changes
genes expression to glutamine deprivation condition is significantly decreased upon inhibition of IRE1 enzyme function. At the same time, inhibition of IrE1 signaling enzyme significantly enhances the sensitivity of TSFM and MTIF genes expression in glioma cells to glutamine deprivation condition (Fig. 6).
We have also investigated the effect of inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme on sensitivity of IL13RA2, CD24, ING1, MYL9, BET1, and MTIF2 genes expression in glioma cells to glucose deprivation. As shown in
Fig. 7, the sensitivity of IL13RA2, CD24, ING1, BET1, and MTIF2 genes expression to glucose deprivation condition is significantly increased by inhibition of IRE1 enzyme function, but the sensitivity of MYL9 gene expression is decreased. Furthermore, inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme does not change the effect of glutamine deprivation on the expression IL13RA2 gene (Fig. 1 and 3) and the effect of glucose deprivation on the expression KRT18, ENDOG, and POLG genes (Fig. 2 and 4) in glioma cells.

IRE1 (dnIRE1) measured by quantitative PCR
Results of this study clearly demonstrated that the expression levels of almost all studied genes encoding proliferation-related factors and enzymes are affected by glutamine and glucose deprivation and inhibition of IRE1 modified sensitivity of these gene expressions to both glutamine and glucose deprivations. Our results are consistent with data that glycolysis and glutaminolysis are related to the control of cell proliferation through regulation of cell cycle and tumor suppressor
genes [12, 46, 47]. Recently, we have shown that genes encoded insulin-like growth factor binding proteins are strongly dependent on the endoplasmic reticulum stress and particularly on its IRE1 signaling pathway, because inhibition of IRE1, especially its endoribonuclease activity, significantly affects expression of these genes, and that inhibition of IRE1 modifies sensitivity of insulin-like growth factor binding protein genes expression to glucose deprivation [48, 49].

In this study we have shown that glutamine deprivation down-regulates the expression level of an anti-proliferative CD24 gene and that inhibition of IRE1 signaling enzyme function in U87 glioma cells eliminates this effect and that these results correlate with a suppression of cell proliferation by IRE1 inhibition [10]. At the same time, the expression level of this gene is resistant to glucose deprivation in control glioma cells, but inhibition of IRE1 introduces sensitivity of CD24 gene expression to glucose
deprivation. Thus, our results argue with data from Colombo et al. [12], who show that glucose and glutamine are required for tumor progression through cell cycle control and that deprivation of these substrates of glycolysis and glutaminolysis have opposite effect. Moreover, effects of glucose and glutamine deprivation conditions on the expression of genes studied in this work are gene-specific and are similar for ING2 and MYL9 genes and different for many other genes (CD24, ING1, BET1, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM, and MTIF2.
In general, our results are consistent with data that glycolysis and glutaminolysis are related to the control of cell proliferation through regulation of genes controlling cell proliferation and tumor suppressor genes. Inhibition of IRE1, a central mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress response, preferentially modified sensitivity of these gene expressions to glutamine and glucose deprivations and possibly contributes to slower glioma growth. However, molecular mechanisms of the regulation of these genes by glutamine and glucose deprivation through the endoplasmic reticulum stress response pathways are complex and warrant further investigation for clarification the role of

Метою роботи було вивчення експреси ге-HiB, що кодують фактори та ензими, як стосу-ються пролiферацiï, зокрема IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM та MTIF2, у кл^инах глмми лши U87 за умов дефщиту глюкози та глутамшу залежно вiд пригнiчення IRE1 — центрального медiатора стресу ендоплазма-тичного ретикулуму. Встановлено, що за умов дефщиту глутамiну спостерiгаeться посилення експреси гешв BET1, MYL9 та MTIF i знижен-ня експресiï гешв CD24, ING2, ENDOG, POLG та TSFM у контрольних кл^инах глшми (з нативним IRE1). Водночас за умов дефщиту глюкози зростае рiвень експреси гена MYL9 i зменшуеться рiвень генiв ING1, ING2 та MTIF у контрольних клггинах глшми. Таким чином, ефект дефiциту глюкози i глутамшу на експре-ию генiв у клiтинах глiоми е геноспецифiч-ним. Пригнiчення IRE1 за допомогою dnIRE1 суттево змiнюе вплив дефщиту глюкози i глутамшу на експремю бшьшосм дослiджених гешв, однак по^зному за напрямком i величиною, особливо для гешв ING2, CD24 та MTIF. Продемонстровано, що експреия гешв, як стосуються пролiферацiï, змiнюеться за умов дефщиту глюкози та глутамшу залежно вщ функци IRE1 i, можливо, зумовлюе зниження штенсивносм росту пухлин тсля пригнiчення цього ензиму.
Ключовi слова: експремя генiв, пов'язаних з пролiферацiею, пригшчення IRE1, дефiцит глюкози та глутамшу, клггини глiоми.

Целью работы было изучение экспрессии генов, кодирующих факторы и энзимы, имеющие отношение к пролиферации, в частности IL13RA2, KRT18, CD24, ING1, ING2, MYL9, BET1, TRAPPC3, ENDOG, POLG, TSFM и MTIF2, в клетках глиомы линии U87 при дефиците глюкозы и глютамина в зависимости от угнетения IRE1 — центрального медиатора стресса эндоплазматического ретикулума. Установлено, что при дефиците глютамина отмечается усиление экспрессии генов CD24, ING2, ENDOG, POLG и TSFM и снижение экспрессии генов CD24, ING2, ENDOG, POLG и TSFM в контрольных клетках глиомы (с на-тивным IRE1). В то же время при дефиците глюкозы происходит увеличение уровня экспрессии гена MYL9 и снижается уровень экспрессии генов ING1, ING2 и MTIF в контрольных клетках глиомы. Таким образом, эффект дефицита глюкозы и глютамина на экспрессию генов в клетках глиомы является геноспеци-фическим. Угнетение IRE1 с помощью dnIRE1 существенно изменяет влияние дефицита глюкозы и глютамина на экспрессию большинства исследованных генов, но по-разному по направлению и величине, особенно для генов ING2, CD24 и MTIF. Продемонстрировано, что экспрессия генов, имеющих отношение к пролиферации, изменяется при дефиците глюкозы и глютамина в зависимости от функции IRE1 и, возможно, обусловливает в снижение интенсивности роста опухолей после угнетения IRE1.
Ключевые слова: экспрессия генов, связанных с пролиферацией, угнетение IRE1, дефицит глюкозы, дефицит глютамина, клетки глиомы.
