They have been described in yeast and human cells for the proteasome subunit Rpt1, and the disordered N-terminal part of the nascent chain was found to be indispensable for the accumulation of the Rpt1-RNP into assemblysomes. Motivated by this, to find other assemblysome-associated RNPs we used bioinformatics to rank subunits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein complexes according to their N-terminal disorder propensity. The results revealed that gene products involved in DNA repair are enriched among the top candidates. The Sgs1 DNA helicase was chosen for experimental validation. We found that indeed nascent chains of Sgs1 form EDTA-resistant RNP condensates, assemblysomes by definition. Moreover, upon exposure to UV, SGS1 mRNA shifted from assemblysomes to polysomes, suggesting that external stimuli are regulators of assemblysome dynamics. We extended our studies to human cell lines. The BLM helicase, ortholog of yeast Sgs1, was identified upon sequencing assemblysome-associated RNAs from the MCF7 human breast cancer cell line, and mRNAs encoding DNA repair proteins were overall enriched. Using the radiation-resistant A549 cell line, we observed by transmission electron microscopy that 1,6-hexanediol, an agent known to disrupt phase-separated condensates, depletes ring ribosome structures compatible with assemblysomes from the cytoplasm of cells and makes the cells more sensitive to X-ray treatment. Taken together these findings suggest that assemblysomes may be a component of the DNA damage response from yeast to human.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1469-9001}, pages = {1557-1574}, orcid-numbers = {Varga, Dániel/0000-0003-0391-5057; Igaz, Nóra/0000-0003-1580-4397; Rázga, Zsolt/0000-0003-4717-8482; Nagy, Gábor/0000-0001-5464-1135; Zsindely, Nóra/0000-0002-6189-3100; Bodai, László/0000-0001-8411-626X; Erdélyi, Miklós/0000-0002-9501-5752; Csontné Kiricsi, Mónika/0000-0002-8416-2052; Boros, Imre Miklós/0000-0001-8504-9687} } @article{MTMT:33634274, title = {Semi-Synthetic Dihydrotestosterone Derivatives Modulate Inherent Multidrug Resistance and Sensitize Colon Cancer Cells to Chemotherapy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33634274}, author = {Nagy, Ferenc István and Adamecz, Dóra Izabella and Baji, Ádám and Kiricsi, Ágnes and Huliák, Ildikó and Rónavári, Andrea and Kónya, Zoltán and Nagyné Frank, Éva and Gopisetty, Mohana Krishna and Csontné Kiricsi, Mónika}, doi = {10.3390/pharmaceutics15020584}, journal-iso = {PHARMACEUTICS}, journal = {PHARMACEUTICS}, volume = {15}, unique-id = {33634274}, issn = {1999-4923}, abstract = {Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious hurdle to successful cancer therapy. Here, we examined the efficiency of novel semi-synthetic dihydrotestosterone derivatives, more specifically androstano-arylpyrimidines in inhibiting the efflux activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and sensitizing inherently MDR colon cancer cells to various chemotherapy drugs. Using the Rhodamine123 accumulation assay, we evaluated the efflux activity of cancer cells following treatments with androstano-arylpyrimidines. We found that acetylated compounds were capable of attenuating the membrane efflux of inherently MDR cells; however, deacetylated counterparts were ineffective. To delineate the possible molecular mechanisms underlying these unique activities of androstano-arylpyrimidines, the degree of apoptosis induction was assessed by AnnexinV-based assays, both upon the individual as well as by steroid and chemotherapy agent combination treatments. Five dihydrotestosterone derivatives applied in combination with Doxorubicin or Epirubicin triggered massive apoptosis in MDR cells, and these combinations were more efficient than chemotherapy drugs together with Verapamil. Furthermore, our results revealed that androstano-arylpyrimidines induced significant endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) but did not notably modulate ABC transporter expression. Therefore, ER stress triggered by acetylated androstano-arylpyrimidines is probably involved in the mechanism of efflux pump inhibition and drug sensitization which can be targeted in future drug developments to defeat inherently multidrug-resistant cancer.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1999-4923}, orcid-numbers = {Adamecz, Dóra Izabella/0000-0002-1883-9600; Rónavári, Andrea/0000-0001-7054-0975; Kónya, Zoltán/0000-0002-9406-8596; Nagyné Frank, Éva/0000-0002-1332-0551; Gopisetty, Mohana Krishna/0000-0002-4310-3478; Csontné Kiricsi, Mónika/0000-0002-8416-2052} } @article{MTMT:33632436, title = {Multi-round recycling of green waste for the production of iron nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and prospects in remediation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33632436}, author = {Rónavári, Andrea and Balázs, Margit and Szilágyi, Árpád and Molnár, Csaba and Kotormán, Márta and Ilisz, István and Csontné Kiricsi, Mónika and Kónya, Zoltán}, doi = {10.1186/s11671-023-03784-x}, journal-iso = {DISCOVER NANO}, journal = {DISCOVER NANO}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {33632436}, abstract = {Due to the widespread applications of metal nanoparticles (NPs), green synthesis strategies have recently advanced, e.g., methods that utilize extracts made from different plant wastes. A particularly innovative approach to reducing large amounts of available household/agricultural green wastes is their application in nanoparticle generation. Regarding this, the aim of our work was to examine the possibility of upgrading green nanoparticle syntheses from an innovative economic and environmental point of view, namely by investigating the multiple recyclabilities of green tea (GT), coffee arabica (CA), and Virginia creeper ( Parthenocissus quinquefolia ) (VC) waste residues for iron nanoparticle (FeNPs) synthesis. The plant extracts obtained by each extraction round were analyzed individually to determine the amount of main components anticipated to be involved in NPs synthesis. The synthesized FeNPs were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The activity of the generated FeNPs in degrading chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOC) and thus their future applicability for remediation purposes were also assessed. We have found that VC and especially GT residues could be reutilized in multiple extraction rounds; however, only the first extract of CA was suitable for FeNPs’ generation. All of the obtained FeNPs could degrade VOC with efficiencies GT1-Fe 91.0%, GT2-Fe 83.2%, GT3-Fe 68.5%; CA1-Fe 76.2%; VC1-Fe 88.2%, VC2-Fe 79.7%, respectively, where the number (as in GT3) marked the extraction round.
