Article Title: NPEPPS regulates intracellular import and sensitivity to cisplatin by interaction with volume regulated anion channels
doi: 10.1101/2021.03.04.433676
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Volcano plot of metabolites measured from KU1919-GemCis cells with or without NPEPPS knockdown (shN39). Time and treatment (cisplatin 10μM) were covariates in the linear model to calculate differential expression using a moderated t-test; horizontal grey line is -log10(FDR = 0.05). ( B )Taurine abundance measured in KU1919-GemCis cells with non- targeting shRNA controls or shRNA targeting NPEPPS (shN39). Cells were also measured at 48 hours treated with 10μM cisplatin or PBS. ( C ) Intracellular cisplatin levels in ( C ) KU1919 or ( D ) 5637 cells were measured after 4 hours of 10μM cisplatin treatment using CyTOF, with the number of cells analyzed as indicated. Immunoblot of LRRC8A, LRRC8D, and γH2AX in ( E ) KU1919-GemCis-shCtrl1 and KU1919- GemCis-shN39 or ( F ) 5637-GemCis-shCtrl1 and 5637-GemCis-shN39 cells treated with PBS or 10μM cisplatin for 48 hours. ( G ) Intracellular cisplatin concentrations were measured for KU1919 parental and then for untargeted knockdown (siCtrl) and targeted knockdown of NPEPPS (siNPEPPS), LRRC8A (siLRRC8A), and the combination of NPEPPS and LRRC8A (siNPEPPS+siLRRC8A). ( H ) Tumor volume of KU1919-GemCis xenografts measured over time and across 4 treatment groups considering non- targeting shRNA controls (shCtrl1), shRNA targeting NPEPPS (shN39), PBS vehicle control (PBS), or gemcitabine plus cisplatin treatment (GemCis). ( I ) Survival analysis of xenograft models with a defined endpoint of a tumor volume > 2cm 3 . Logrank test was applied to test significance. ( J ) Survival analysis of muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the TCGA stratified based on copy number amplification, gain or overexpression of LRRC8A or LRRC8D. Patients all had a record of cisplatin-based chemotherapy treatment. ( K ) Survival analysis for patients stratified by LRRC8A or LRRC8D as in ( J ), but that did not have any record of cisplatin-based treatments.
Article Snippet: NPEPPS and LRRC8A has been probed using Rabbit polyclonal NPEPPS antibody (1:1000; Origene), Rabbit IgG polyclonal LRRC8A antibody (1:1000, LSBio) and Rabbit IgG polyclonal LRRC8D antibody (1:1000, SinoBiological).
