It was shown that treatment of cells with the specific inhibitors of PI3K/mTOR pathway leads to changes of PBs’ number and size within cells as well as proteasomal degradation of their scaffold protein RCD-8. Conclusions. We speculate that mTOR/PI3K pathway may regulate in part the dynamic of PB formation in the cell by affec- ting the stability of RCD-8 protein and therefore controle mRNA metabolism. Keywords: processing bodies, immunocytochemistry, mRNA degradation, mTOR, signaling pathway. Introduction. It is well known that phosphorylation of S6Ks and 4E-BPs by mTOR regulates the rate of trans- lation initiation in response to diverse extracellular sti- muli, such as growth factors, mitogenes and nutrients [1–3]. According to the model of steric competition for binding of protein complexes to the cap on mRNA it has been proposed that initial formation of the cap-de-pen- dent translation initiation complex may affect in part the total rate of mRNA translation via preventing the de- capping of these targets. However there is no evidence that PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway may directly affect the activity of decaping machinery and as a consequen- ce RNA degradation that occurs in specific sites within the cell. Recently it was shown that non translating mRNAs can be accumulated in cytoplasmic RNP gra- nules [4–8]. At present the best-characterized mRNP granules in the somatic cell cytoplasm are processing bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs) [5]. They are ubiquitotus highly dynamic membraneless structures, which contain pool of untranslated mRNAs. PBs conta- in enzymes and their co-activators for mRNA degrada- tion and translational repression [6, 8], whereas SGs re- present mRNPs with number of proteins involved in the translation initiation including 40S ribosomal subu- nit [4, 5]. RCD-8 is known as one of scaffold proteins of PBs, which is crucial for their assembly [9, 10]. Previously, we have generated mouse polyclonal antibodies against bacterially expressed recombinant N- terminal region of RCD-8 [11]. The specificity of anti- bodies was analyzed by immunofluorescence approach. We have detected some specific foci in the cytoplasm of HEK293 cells. To check whether these structures cor- respond to PBs or SGs (another related kind of mRNP granules) we overexpressed the markers of PBs and SGs fused with fluorescent proteins in HEK293 cells. Using IF microscopy we confirmed the specificity of pu- rified antibodies with respect to PB. In view of the absence of published data regarding regulation of PB assembly in mammalian cells by sig- naling pathways we decided to investigate the role of known mTOR/PI3K signaling pathway inhibitors in dy- namic of PB formation.

Secondary HRP-labelled anti-mouse and anti-rabbit antibodies were from «Cell Signaling» (USA). Cell culture and immunocytochemistry. HEK293 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Col- lection and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum («HyClone», UK), penicillin (200 U/ml) and streptomycin (200 mg/ml). To induce PB assembly/disassembly HEK293 cells were expo- sed to sodium arsenite (III) (0.5 mM), cycloheximide (CHX, 50 mg/ml), LY294008 (50 µM), rapamycin (200 nM) and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG, 25 mM) for 30 min at 37 oC. All reagents were obtained from «Sig- ma» (USA). For inhibition of proteasomal degradation MG132 («Merck», Germany) was added to cells for 6 h at final concentration 10 µM. For immunofluorescent staining HEK293 cells were grown in tissue culture chambers («Nunc», Denmark), fixed with 3.7 % para- formaldehyde in PBS, and permeabilized with PBS-T (0.2 % Tween-20) three times for 5 min. Unspecific binding was blocked by 45 min incubation with 5 % FBS diluted in PBS-T. Afterwards staining with prima- ry and secondary antisera was performed as described previously [12, 13]. Cell nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33258 dye («Invitrogen», USA). Fluorescently labelled cells were analyzed with a Zeiss LSM Meta 510 confocal micro- scope, and the images were edited using the LSM510 image browser software. All pictures were acquired and processed using the same settings. SDS-PAGE, Western blotting. HEK293 cell protein extracts were resolved in SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to PVDF membrane («Millipore»). Memb- ranes were incubated in blocking solution and probed with primary rabbit antibodies, diluted in TBST (25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.8 % NaCl, 0.02 % KCl, and 0.05 % Tween). After washing three times with TBST the mem- brane was incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti- rabbit IgG («Promega», USA). Finally, the membrane was developed using an ECL kit («GE Healthcare», UK) and then exposed to Agfa X-ray film. Results and discussion. In the beginning we loo- ked for possible changes in PBs’ number and/or size un- der different experimental conditions. For this purpose we treated cells with signal transduction and metabolic inhibitors, targeting the mTOR/PI3K pathway, namely LY294002 (an inhibitor of PI-3 kinase), rapamycin (an inhibitor of mTORC1) and 2-DG (an inhibitor of gly- colysis, which activates AMPK and therefore leads to mTORC1 inactivation) [14]. After the treatment for 30 min cells were stained with anti-RCD-8 affinity pu- rified antibodies. As shown on Fig. 1 (see inset) we ob- served that treatment of HEK293 cells with LY294002 and 2-DG leads to the enrichment of PBs within the cytoplasm. Moreover, we could observe changes not on- ly in number of PBs but in their size as well. Notably, observed changes differed from typical induction of PBs with sodium arsenite (a known inductor of PBs assemb- ly) [4, 5]. Thus, treatment with LY294002 resulted in the production of predominantly small processing bodies in contrast to 2-DG treatment, which led to the appearance of PBs similary to the effect of arsenite. It is known that PB assembly occurs through formation of small partic- les with further fusion into the larger PBs [4]. We be- lieve that LY294002 targeting PI3K signaling initiates formation of small PBs but their fusion may require additional impacts. Unexpectedly treatment of cells with direct mTOR inhibitor rapamycin (which inhibits only mTORC1 complex, but not mTORC2) (Fig. 1, b, see inset) led to the opposite effect, namely to the disap- pearance of PBs, like treatment with known inhibitor of translation – CHX [4, 5] (Fig. 1, e, see inset). This fin- ding is very intriguing, because treatment with LY294002 indirectly inhibits the activity of mTOR ki- nase in both mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes in mammalian cells. These data indicate that the inhibition of mTOR-ki- nase via different mechanisms and in different comple- xes has led to opposite effects in respect to PB assemb- ly. In addition such effect may be facilitated by additio- nal mTOR substrates other than S6K1 and 4E-BPs since the mTOR dependent phosphorylation of both of them is down regulated by LY294002 and rapamycin (Fig. 2, A). Despite the similar effect on PB disassembly in- duced by CHX and rapamycin, we show that they exhi- bit different effects on mTOR kinase substrates – S6K and 4E-BPs. As it is demonstrated on Fig. 2, A, in con- trast to rapamycin CHX treatment elevates S6K1 phos- 370 GUDKOVA D. O. ET AL. ISSN 0233–7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2011. Vol. 27.

Such effect may represent some compensato- ry mechanism after translation inhibition. Next, to determine the dependence of PB assemb- ly on the availability of growth factors, we starved HEK293 cells for 24 h and then stimulated with 20 % fetal bovine serum for 0.5 or 3 h. We observed reduc- tion in the number of processing bodies upon starva- tion, while serum stimulation induced their formation (data not shown). This observation clearly indicates that the assembly of PBs is dependent on the presence of growth factors, which can activate major signal trans- duction pathways within cell. We have also examined the level of endogenous RCD-8 in cells upon the above treatments. Unexpec- tedly, we found that the amount of RCD-8 protein was reduced in response to all tested inhibitors. The stron- gest effect was observed with 2-DG treatment (up to 50 % reduction) (Fig. 2, B). To study it in more details, we carried out a time-course treatment with 2-DG, which included 15 min and 30 min time points. Signi- ficant decrease of RCD-8 was observed after 15 min of treatment (Fig. 3, A). Introducing proteasomal inhibitor MG132 before 2-DG treatment (Fig. 3, A) we have found that the level of endogenous RCD-8 is regulated by proteasome-mediated degradation and the changes are observed even after 15 min upon treatment with 2- DG (Fig. 3, A). To study the half-life of RCD-8 in mammalian cells under normal conditions we carried out the expe- riment in the presence of CHX, which prevents bio- synthesis of novel proteins in cells. The results clearly indicated that RCD-8 is a quite stable protein with a half-life of more than 24 h (Fig. 3, B). So, decreasing of endogenous level of RCD-8 after treatment with diffe- rent reagents could be explained by degradation of RCD-8 protein via proteasomal pathway. At the same time, the decreasing in endogenous RCD-8 does not correlate with observed increasing number of proces- sing bodies within the cytoplasm after the treatment. The most reasonable explanation of observed effect co- uld be as follow. Basically, the process of mRNA degra- dation occurs in PB, but due to the presence of decap- ping machinery and co-activators in the cytoplasm it can take place there as well but significantly slowly. Number of previous work [4, 6] described the dynamic shuttling of main PBs components between PBs and cy- toplasm, and PBs represent sites with much more hi- gher concentration of those proteins than in the cyto- plasm. Therefore we assume we were able to detect RCD-8 only in PBs as intracellular sites with elevated local level of RCD-8 but not others where its content is much lower. According to our data we speculate that PI3K/ mTOR pathway may affect the processes of PB as- sembly. As mentioned above, PBs represent cellular structures for storing the whole pool of non-translating mRNAs which can undergo either degradation or stora- ge in those foci. At the same time there is no evidence about precise mechanism, which may regulate a fate of stored mRNAs. The appearance of huge PBs within cell can indicate a total increased level of mRNAs’ de- capping as well as accumulation of silenced mRNAs. Thus, we speculate that PI3K/mTOR signaling path- way can be one of possible mechanisms, which keep in balance the ratio between translated and non-translated mRNAs. Conclusions. In summary, we showed that the regu- lation of processing body assembly might be media- ted through the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway. At the same time regulation of PB assembly in part occurs through the proteasomal degradation of PBs main com- ponent – scaffold protein RCD8. 371 PI3K/mTOR-DEPENDENT SIGNALING PATHWAY As LY Rap CHX Control A $-actin p4E-BPs pS6K1 Control LY Rap 2-DG a-RCD Na3VO4 $-actin B Fig. 2.
