Der niedermolekulare Inhibitor JQ1 bindet an der Bromodomäne von BRD4, ein auf epigenetischer Ebene agierendes Protein. Der antiproliferative Effekt von JQ1 wurde bisher bei verschiedenen Tumorentitäten vor allem des lymphatischen und blutbildenden Systems gezeigt. In dieser Arbeit wurde der antiproliferative Effekt von JQ1 an fünf humanen kolorektalen Karzinomzelllinien im Vergleich zu nicht transformierten Kontrollzellen (Fibroblasten) in Normoxie, Hypoxie und in der Langzeitkultur nachgewiesen. Außerdem verringerte JQ1 die Expression von MYC auf Protein- und mRNA-Ebene und steigerte die Transkription des durch MYC negativ regulierten Zielegens p21. Diese Steigerung korrelierte mit einem Zellzyklusarrest in der G0/G1-Phase in vier von fünf kolorektalen Karzinomzelllinien.
Atherosclerosis is an important risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to increased plasma lipid concentrations, irregular/oscillatory shear stress and inflammatory processes trigger atherosclerosis. Inhibitors of the transcription modulatory bromo- and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein family (BETi) could offer a possible therapeutic approach due to their epigenetic mechanism and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, the influence of laminar shear stress, inflammation and BETi treatment on human endothelial cells was investigated using global protein expression profiling by ion mobility separation-enhanced data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (IMS-DIA-MS). For this purpose, primary human umbilical cord derived vascular endothelial cells were treated with TNFα to mimic inflammation and exposed to laminar shear stress in the presence or absence of the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1. IMS-DIA-MS detected over 4037 proteins expressed in endothelial cells. Inflammation, shear stress and BETi led to pronounced changes in protein expression patterns with JQ1 having the greatest effect. To our knowledge, this is the first proteomics study on primary endothelial cells, which provides an extensive database for the effects of shear stress, inflammation and BETi on the endothelial proteome.
