Article Abstract
Purpose: Increased expression of TGF-β2 in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) aqueous humor (AH) and trabecular meshwork (TM) causes deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the TM and elevated IOP. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) regulate TGF-β2-induced ECM production. The underlying mechanism for BMP4 inhibition of TGF-β2-induced fibrosis remains undetermined. Bone morphogenic protein 4 induces inhibitor of DNA binding proteins (ID1, ID3), which suppress transcription factor activities to regulate gene expression. Our study will determine whether ID1and ID3 proteins are downstream targets of BMP4, which attenuates TGF-β2 induction of ECM proteins in TM cells.
Methods: Primary human TM cells were treated with BMP4, and ID1 and ID3 mRNA, and protein expression was determined by quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) and Western immunoblotting. Intracellular ID1 and ID3 protein localization was studied by immunocytochemistry. Transformed human TM cells (GTM3 cells) were transfected with ID1 or ID3 expression vectors to determine their potential inhibitory effects on TGF-β2-induced fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-I (PAI-1) protein expression.
Results: Basal expression of ID1-3 was detected in primary human TM cells. Bone morphogenic protein 4 significantly induced early expression of ID1 and ID3 mRNA (P < 0.05) and protein in primary TM cells, and a BMP receptor inhibitor blocked this induction. Overexpression of ID1 and ID3 significantly inhibited TGF-β2-induced expression of fibronectin and PAI-1 in TM cells (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: Bone morphogenic protein 4 induced ID1 and ID3 expression suppresses TGF-β2 profibrotic activity in human TM cells. In the future, targeting specific regulators may control the TGF-β2 profibrotic effects on the TM, leading to disease modifying IOP lowering therapies.

Introduction: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in adults often presents a poor prognosis. ID1 and ID3 genes have been identified as predictors of poor response in Colombian adult B-ALL patients, contributing to cancer development. In various cancer models, these genes have been associated with immune regulatory populations within the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

Brown and beige adipocytes can be activated by β-adrenergic agonist via cAMP-dependent signaling. Performing RNA-sequencing analysis in human cervical area-derived adipocytes, we found that dibutyryl-cAMP, which can mimic in vivo stimulation of browning and thermogenesis, enhanced the expression of browning and batokine genes and upregulated several signaling pathway genes linked to thermogenesis. We observed that the expression of inhibitor of DNA binding and cell differentiation (ID) 1 and particularly ID3 was strongly induced by the adrenergic stimulation.

ID1 and ID3 are the members of the Inhibitor of DNA Binding (ID) protein family, which negatively regulates the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors by forming heterodimers, are involved in neurodevelopment, cardiovascular development, and tumor metastasis. We created twoID1/3knockout cell lines from a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line (H9) by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting. These cell lines maintain stem cell morphology, a normal karyotype, and the expression of pluripotent marker genes.

Gene expression patterns are very sensitive to external influences and are reflected in phenotypic changes. It was previously described that transferring melanoma cells from a plastic surface to Matrigel led to formation of de novo vascular networks-vasculogenic mimicry-that are characteristic to a stemness phenotype in aggressive tumors. Up to now there was no detailed data about the gene signature accompanying this process.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most deathly worldwide and third most common cancer, CRC is a very heterogeneous disease where tumors can form by both environmental and genetic risk factors and includes epigenetic and genetic alternations. Inhibitors of DNA binding proteins (ID) are a class of helix-loop-helix transcription regulatory factors; these proteins are considered a family of four highly preserved transcriptional regulators (ID1-4), shown to play significant roles in many processes that are associated with tumor development. ID family plays as negatively dominant antagonists of other essential HLH proteins, concluding the creation of non-functional heterodimers and regulation of the transcription process.
