The Sprouty family is a highly conserved group of intracellular modulators of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-signaling pathways, which have been recently linked to primary cilia. Disruptions in the structure and function of primary cilia cause inherited disorders called ciliopathies. We aimed to evaluate Sprouty2 and Sprouty4 gene-dependent alterations of ciliary structure and to focus on the determination of its association with Hedgehog signaling defects in chondrocytes. Analysis of the transgenic mice phenotype with Sprouty2 and Sprouty4 deficiency revealed several defects, including improper endochondral bone formation and digit patterning, or craniofacial and dental abnormalities. Moreover, reduced bone thickness and trabecular bone mass, skull deformities, or chondroma-like lesions were revealed. All these pathologies might be attributed to ciliopathies. Elongation of the ciliary axonemes in embryonic and postnatal growth plate chondrocytes was observed in Sprouty2-/- and Sprouty2+/- /Sprouty4-/- mutants compared with corresponding littermate controls. Also, cilia-dependent Hedgehog signaling was upregulated in Sprouty2/4 mutant animals. Ptch1 and Ihh expression were upregulated in the autopodium and the proximal tibia of Sprouty2-/- /Sprouty4-/- mutants. Increased levels of the GLI3 repressor (GLI3R) form were detected in Sprouty2/4 mutant primary fibroblast embryonic cell cultures and tissues. These findings demonstrate that mouse lines deficient in Sprouty proteins manifest phenotypic features resembling ciliopathic phenotypes in multiple aspects and may serve as valuable models to study the association between overactivation of RTK and dysfunction of primary cilia during skeletogenesis. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as efficient mutagens and ligands of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which has been suggested to play an important role in prostate carcinogenesis. In order to evaluate the complex relationship between the genotoxicity and the AhR-mediated activity of PAHs in prostate cells, we selected benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), as model genotoxic and nongenotoxic AhR ligands, respectively, to explore global changes in gene expression in LNCaP cells by microarray analysis. We identified 112 genes that were differentially expressed in cells treated for 24h with BaP, TCDD or both compounds. Our data indicated that the impacts of BaP and TCDD on transcriptome of LNCaP cells significantly overlap, since over 64% of significantly up-regulated genes and 47% of down-regulated genes were similarly affected by both AhR ligands. This suggested that the activation of AhR played a prominent role in the nongenotoxic effects of BaP in the prostate carcinoma cell model LNCaP. Both AhR ligands suppressed expression of genes associated with cell cycle progression, DNA replication, spindle assembly checkpoint or DNA repair, which probably occurred secondary to inhibition of cell cycle progression. In contrast, we identified Wnt5a, an important regulator of prostate cancer progression, to be induced as early as 6h after exposure to both AhR ligands. The AhR ligand-induced Wnt5a upregulation, together with other observed alterations of gene expression, may further contribute to enhanced cell plasticity of prostate carcinoma cells.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been positively associated with prostate cancer, but knowledge of the formation of PAH-DNA adducts and related genotoxic events in prostatic cells is limited. In the present study, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a potent mutagenic PAH, formed significant levels of DNA adducts in cell lines derived from human prostate carcinoma. When analyzing the effect of BaP on the induction of CYP1 enzymes participating in the metabolic activation of PAHs in LNCaP cells, we found that BaP induced expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, but not CYP1B1 enzyme. Despite a significant amount of DNA adducts being formed by BaP and, to a lesser extent also by another strong genotoxin, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, neither apoptosis nor cell-cycle arrest were induced in LNCaP cells. LNCaP cells were not sensitized to the induction of apoptosis by PAHs even through inhibition of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt pro-survival pathway. The lack of apoptosis was not due a disruption of expression of pro-apoptotic and pro-survival members of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis regulators. In contrast to other genotoxic stimuli, genotoxic PAHs failed to induce DNA double-strand breaks, as illustrated by the lack of phosphorylation of histone H2AX or checkpoint kinase-2. BaP did not activate p53, as evidenced by the lack of p53 accumulation, phosphorylation at Ser15, or induction of p53 transcriptional targets. Taken together, although genotoxic PAHs produced significant levels of DNA adducts in a model of human prostate carcinoma cells, they did not activate the mechanisms leading to elimination of cells with significant damage to DNA, presumably due to their failure to activate the p53-dependent DNA damage response.
