Activating mutations in codon D816 of the tyrosine kinase receptor, KIT, are found in the majority of patients with systemic mastocytosis. We found that the transcription factor, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), is highly expressed in bone marrow biopsies from 9 of 10 patients with systemic mastocytosis and activating c-KIT mutations. In primary and transformed mast cells, we show that KIT signaling markedly up-regulates MITF protein. We demonstrate that MITF is required fo ...[more]

Project description:Global phosphoproteomics can reveal signaling cascades in unprecedented detail. The SCF/KIT axis represents a vital hematopoietic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) system with gain-of-function mutations prompting the development of mastocytosis and leukemia. Here, we employed a label-free phosphoproteomics profiling strategy to provide the first comprehensive portrayal of SCF-triggered phosphosignaling. Employing untransformed skin-derived mast cells expressing vast amounts of KIT, we uncover around 10,500 class-I-phosphosites following ligand-induced KIT dimerization. Apart from STAT5, the MEK/ERK cascade (including upstream and downstream events) stood out as highly stimulatable by SCF compared to less impacted PI3K/Akt>p38>JNK, a pattern validated by time-resolved immunoblotting. Direct comparison between MEK/ERKÕs and PI3KÕs support of basic programs (anti-apoptosis, cell cycle progression) revealed equipotency with substantial redundancy between the modules. In functional outputs, ERK showed dominance over PI3K regarding cytokine stimulation (TNF-a, IL-8, LIF, OSM) and was the only contributor in the induction of immediate early genes (Fos, JunB, Egr1). Our proteome-wide screen also found Å1,000 phosphosites currently undescribed in databases, pertaining to multiple protein classes. Among candidates, capicua (and components of its network) experienced massive phosphorylation by SCF. Perturbation with capicua by RNA interference unveiled its function as a potent KIT repressor, whose deregulation may contribute to the development of mastocytosis. We demonstrate the utility of an unbiased approach to uncover single protein entities and entire networks activated by RTKs, that can be surveyed experimentally. This rich resource enhances our understanding of RTK-elicited signaling networks and can serve as a benchmark to identify pathological processes, e.g. under circumstances of KIT deregulation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate microRNA expression pattern and its functional relevance on the commitment toward mucosal differentiation and on IgE-mediated activation of mast cells. To identify microRNA genes the expression of which change during the differentiation and activation of murine primary mast cells in vitro, the putative committed progenitors (c-kit+ cells isolated on day 6 from differentiating cultures), immature mast cells (BMMC), mucosal-type mast cells (MMC), and IgE-activated mast cells were compared by Agilent microRNA array. RNA was isolated by miRNeasy (Qiagen) from: 1) c-kit+ cells, isolated from differentiating cultures (in the presence of IL3 and SCF) derived from the bone marrow using MACS column purification, 2) immature BMMCs obtained by cultivation of bone marrow cells in the presence of IL3 and SCF for 4 weeks, 3) mucosal-type mast cells by additional differentiation of immature BMMCs for 5 days by supplementation of IL9 and TGFbeta, and 4) activated mast cells by presensitization with anti-DNP IgE followed by IgE-crosslinking by DNP-antigen challenge for 2 hours. Agilent microRNA microarray was run on these experimental groups. Four biological replicates were included in every experimental group.

Project description:Mast cells, activated by antigen via the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), release an array of pro-inflammatory mediators that contribute to allergic disorders such as asthma and anaphylaxis. The KIT ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), is critical for mast cell expansion, differentiation and survival, and, under acute conditions, enhances mast cell activation. However, extended SCF exposure in vivo conversely protects against fatal antigen-mediated anaphylaxis. In investigating this dichotomy, we identified a novel mode of regulation of the mast cell activation phenotype through SCF-mediated programming. We found that mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells chronically exposed to SCF displayed a marked attenuation of FcεRI-mediated degranulation and cytokine production. The hypo-responsive phenotype was not a consequence of altered signals regulating calcium flux or protein kinase C, but of ineffective cytoskeletal reorganization, with evidence implicating a down-regulation of expression of the Src kinase Hck. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a major role for SCF in the homeostatic control of mast cell activation with potential relevance to mast cell-driven disease and the development of novel approaches for the treatment of allergic disorders. Mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells were treated with IL3, IL3+IL33, or IL3+SCF. Six replicates each.

Project description:Stem cell factor (SCF) mediated KIT receptor activation plays a pivotal role in mast cell growth, maturation and survival. However, the signaling events downstream from KIT are poorly understood. Mast cells express multiple regulatory subunits of class 1A PI3Kinase (PI3K) including p85α, p85β, p50α, and p55α. While it is known that PI3K plays an essential role in mast cells; the precise mechanism by which these regulatory subunits impact specific mast cell functions including growth, survival and cycling are not known. We show that loss of p85α impairs the growth, survival and cycling of mast cell progenitors (MCp). To delineate the molecular mechanism (s) by which p85α regulates mast cell growth, survival and cycling, we performed microarray analyses to compare the gene expression profile of MCps derived from WT and p85α-deficient mice in response to SCF stimulation. We identified 151 unique genes exhibiting altered expression in p85α-deficient cells in response to SCF stimulation compared to WT cells. Functional categorization based on DAVID bioinformatics tool and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software relates the altered genes due to lack of p85α to transcription, cell cycle, cell survival, cell adhesion, cell differentiation, and signal transduction. Our results suggest that p85α is involved in mast cell development through regulation of expression of growth, survival and cell cycle related genes. Two-condition experiment, wildtype vs. p85α-deficient mast cell progenitors stimulated with SCF. Biological replicates: 3 wildtype replicates, 3 p85α-deficient replicates.

Project description:MicroRNA 155 (miR-155) has been shown to regulate the gene expression of important players of physiological and pathological processes, like hematopoietic lineage differentiation, immunity and inflammation, viral infections, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, among others. Degranulation is an event in which mast cells, upon activation of the FceRI, release their granule content rich in vasoactive amines, proteases and TNFa. Additionally activation of the receptor promotes de novo synthesis of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. Analysis of bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMC) deficient in miR-155 showed a significant increase in FceRI mediated degranulation and in the release of cytokines like TNFa, IL-6 and IL-13. In addition miR 155-/- mice presented higher anaphylaxis reactions compared to WT mice. Gene expression analysis of BMMC was performed in order to identify intermediaries of FceRI mediated degranulation under the control of miR-155. The results indicate that miR-155 regulates negatively the expression of the regulatory subunits of the kinase PI3Kgamma, Pik3r5 (p101) and Pik3r6 (p84, p87PIKAP), involved in Ca+ influx and degranulation. Total RNA from 3 independent cultures of WT and miR-155-/- BMMC treated with anti-DNP IgE and 20 ng/ml DNP-HSA for 1hr were used to performed gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix GenechipM-BM-.

Project description:Microenvironment-based alterations in mast cell phenotypes influence the susceptibility to anaphylaxis, yet the mechanisms underlying proper maturation of mast cells toward an anaphylaxis-sensitive phenotype are incompletely understood. Here we report that PLA2G3, a mammalian homolog of anaphylactic bee venom phospholipase A2, regulates this process. PLA2G3 secreted from mast cells is coupled with fibroblastic lipocalin-type PGD2 synthase (L-PGDS) to provide PGD2, which facilitates mast cell maturation via PGD2 receptor (DP1). Mice lacking PLA2G3, L-PGDS or DP1, mast cell-deficient mice reconstituted with PLA2G3- or DP1-null mast cells, or mast cells cocultured with L-PGDS-ablated fibroblasts exhibited impaired mast cell maturation and anaphylaxis. Thus, we describe a lipid-driven PLA2G3-L-PGDS-DP1 loop that drives mast cell maturation. Mast cell maturation; immature and mature bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs); Four-condition experiment (mature BMMCs vs immature BMMCs, Pla2g3M-bM-^@M-^S/M-bM-^@M-^S vs Pla2g3+/+); 3 replicates of Pla2g3+/+ BMMCs, 4 replicates of Pla2g3M-bM-^@M-^S/M-bM-^@M-^S BMMCs, 4 replicates of Pla2g3+/+ cocultured BMMCs, 3 replicates of Pla2g3M-bM-^@M-^S/M-bM-^@M-^S cocultured BMMCs

Project description:Mast cells are indispensable for LPS-induced septic hypothermia, in which TNF-α plays an essential role to initiate sepsis. Tec family non-receptor tyrosine kinases ITK and BTK regulate mast cell-derived TNF-α in response to allergic antigen, but their role in LPS-induced TNF-α production by mast cells and related pathology is unclear. We sought to investigate the role(s) of ITK and BTK in mast cell response in septic condition. We found that the absence of ITK and BTK leads to enhanced TNF-α production by bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC). Itk-/-Btk-/- mast cells exhibit hyperactive preformed and LPS-induced TNF-α production, along with enhanced expression of other related genes such as NF-κB targeted genes, compared to WT cells. Bone marrow cells from 8-week old WT, Itk-/-, Btk-/- and Itk-/-Btk-/- (double knockout: DKO) C57Bl/6 mice were cultured in murine Interleukin-3/Stem cell factor (IL-3/SCF) supplemented medium for 5 weeks to derive mast cells. WT, Itk-/-, Btk-/- and DKO bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) were factor starved in medium without IL-3/SCF for 12 hours, followed by treatment with PBS (control) or 100 ng/ml LPS for 1 hour. Triplicates of each group were subjected to mouse whole genome genechip microarray analysis. Replicates were randomized on different chips to avoid systematic error.

Project description:TIM-3 is known to be expressed on dendritic cells, monocytes, melanoma cells, mast cells and on activated Th1 cells. In activated Th1 cells, stimulating TIM-3 by one of its ligands, galectin-9, leads to apoptosis and thus it plays a central role in terminating Th1-type immune responses. Interestingly, in IgE/antigen-activated mast cells TIM-3 enhances the production of IL-13 and IL-4. To get a more complete picture about the gene expression changes induced by TIM-3 in mast cells, in vitro differentiated mouse immature mast cells were stimulated by an agonist anti-TIM-3 antibody and IgE-sensitized mouse immature mast cells were activated by antigen and an agonist anti-TIM-3 antibody for 2 or 16 hours (overnight). Experiment Overall Design: Bone marrow cells were differentiated in RPMI + 10% FCS + 5 ng/ml mouse IL-3 + 40 ng/ml mouse SCF for >4 weeks. The purity of the cell cultures was >90% at this time point (FcERIa+/c-kit+ cells). These in vitro-differentiated immature mast cells were then treated by either control goat IgG or an agonist anti-mouse TIM-3 antibody (RnD Systems, 15 ug/ml for 2 or 16 hours). For the IgE/antigen-activated mouse mast cells, these in vitro-differentiated immature mast cells were sensitized by 5 ug/ml anti-DNP IgE (Sigma) for 1 hour and then treated with 100 ng/ml DNP-HSA (antigen, Sigma) and either control goat IgG or an agonist anti-mouse TIM-3 antibody (RnD Systems, 15 ug/ml) for 2 or 16 hours. The anti-TIM-3 samples were labeled by Cy5 and they were compared to the Cy3-labeled, goat IgG controls in a dual-color, paired experimental setup. The Agilent Whole Mouse Genome 4x44K expression microarray kit and Dual-Color Protocol version 5.5 were used in the experiments.

Project description:Background: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a segmented negative-stranded RNA virus that brings a potentially serious threat to public health and animal husbandry. Mast cells play an important role in both the inherent and adaptive immune response. Previous studies have indicated that mast cells support the productive replication of H1N1, H5N1, and H7N2. To date, the distinct molecular mechanism behind the pathogenesis in mast cells among the three different viruses has been poorly understood. Methods: We investigated the genomic profiles in detail and the dynamic change of genomes regulated by different subtypes of IAV in mouse mast cells using microassays in order to the distinct molecular mechanism behind the pathogenesis in mast cells among the three different viruses. Mouse mast cells (P815) were infected at a multiplicity of infection of 1 (infectious viruses/cell) and incubated for 12 hr before collection of total RNA and microarray anlaysis using the Affymetrix platforms. Any two of the three IAV-infected groups were compared to detect genomic distinct. Based on the results of microassays, the further verification was performed by real-time PCR and western blotting. Here, the mRNA levels of 5-HT, PKG and HIF-1 in P815 cells following H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 infection were determined by real-time PCR. The protein levels of exosomes in P815 cells following H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 infection were detected by western blotting. Results: Compared with any two of the three IAV-infected groups, much more differentially expressed genes (DEGs), cellular functions and signaling pathways were confirmd in H1N1 or H7N2 group, and H7N2 group showed the highest levels. However, few DEGs were detected as well as various cellular functions and signaling pathways were dramatically suppressed in H5N1 group. With an in-depth study on H1N1 and H7N2 group, we demonstrated the 5-HT signaling pathway and cGMP/PKG signaling pathway terms were enriched in P815 cells infected by H1N1 while HIF-1 signaling pathway terms were enriched in P815 cells infected by H7N2 virus. Furthermore, RT-qPCR results also showed significantly increased mRNA of 5-HT and PKG in H1N1-infected P815 cells as well as HIF-1 in H7N2-infected P815 cells. Besides, exosomes were highly secreted from H1N1-infected or H7N2-infected P815 cells. Conclusions: H1N1 and H7N2 viruses could result in a variety of DEGs in mast cells and activate various cellular functions and signaling pathways while H5N1 virus cause the few DEGs in mast cells as well as suppression of cellular functions and signaling pathways. Furthermore, 5-HT signaling pathway and cGMP/PKG signaling pathway were preferentially activated in P815 cells infected by H1N1 while HIF-1 signaling pathway were preferentially activated in P815 cells infected by H7N2 virus. In addition, exosomes were also preferentially secreted from H1N1-infected or H7N2-infected P815 cells that are potentially pivotal in innate immunity to fight IAV infection. The study provides novel information and insight into the distinct of molecular mechanism of H1N1, H5N1 and H7N2 viruses in mast cells from the perspective of genomic profiles.
