RESUMEN

TGF-beta1 is well known to induce Ig germ-line alpha (GLalpha) transcription and subsequent IgA isotype class switching recombination (CSR). Homeodomain protein TG-interacting factor (TGIF) and E3-ubiquitin ligases TGIF interacting ubiquitin ligase 1 (Tiul1) are implicated in the negative regulation of TGF-beta signaling. In the present study, we investigated the roles of Tiul1 and TGIF in TGFbeta1-induced IgA CSR. We found that over-expression of Tiul1 decreased TGFbeta1-induced GLalpha promoter activity and strengthened the inhibitory effect of Smad7 on the promoter activity. Likewise, overexpression of TGIF also diminished GLalpha promoter activity and further strengthened the inhibitory effect of Tiul1, suggesting that Tiul1 and TGIF can down-regulate TGFbeta1-induced GLalpha expression. In parallel, overexpression of Tiul1 decreased the expression of endogenous IgA CSR-predicitive transcripts (GLT(alpha), PST(alpha), and CT(alpha)) and TGFbeta1-induced IgA secretion, but not GLT(gamma3) and IgG3 secretion. Here, over-expressed TGIF further strengthened the inhibitory effect of Tiul1. These results suggest that Tiul1 and TGIF act as negatively regulators in TGFbeta1-induced IgA isotype expression.

RESUMEN

Differentiation of neuronal cells has been shown to accelerate stress-induced cell death, but the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we find that early and sustained increase in cytosolic ([Ca2+]c) and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]m) is essential for the increased sensitivity to staurosporine-induced cell death following neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells. Consistently, pretreatment of differentiated PC12 cells with the intracellular Ca2+-chelator EGTA-AM diminished staurosporine-induced PARP cleavage and cell death. Furthermore, Ca2+ overload and enhanced vulnerability to staurosporine in differentiated cells were prevented by Bcl-XL overexpression. Our data reveal a new regulatory role for differentiation-dependent alteration of Ca2+ signaling in cell death in response to staurosporine.
