Serine protease 35 regulates the fibroblast matrisome in response to hyperosmotic stress.

ABSTRACT: Hyperosmotic stress occurs in several diseases, but its long-term effects are largely unknown. We used sorbitol-treated human fibroblasts in 3D culture to study the consequences of hyperosmotic stress in the skin. Sorbitol regulated many genes, which help cells cope with the stress condition. The most robustly regulated gene encodes serine protease 35 (PRSS35). Its regulation by hyperosmotic stress was dependent on the kinases p38 and JNK and the transcription factors NFAT5 and ATF2. We identified different collagens and collagen-associated proteins as putative PRSS35 binding partners. This is functionally important because PRSS35 affected the extracellular matrix proteome, which limited cell proliferation. The in vivo relevance of these findings is reflected by the coexpression of PRSS35 and its binding partners in human skin wounds, where hyperosmotic stress occurs as a consequence of excessive water loss. These results identify PRSS35 as a key regulator of the matrisome under hyperosmotic stress conditions.

Project description:Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen and relies on the Hog1-MAPK pathway to resist osmotic stress posed by the environment or during host invasions. Here, we investigated the role of SPT20 in response to osmotic stress. Testing a C. albicans spt20Δ/Δ mutant, we found it was sensitive to osmotic stress. Using sequence alignment, we identified the conserved functional domains between CaSpt20 and ScSpt20. Reconstitution of the Spt20 function in a spt20Δ/CaSPT20 complemented strain found CaSPT20 can suppress the high sensitivity to hyperosmotic stressors, a cell wall stress agent, and antifungal drugs in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae spt20Δ/Δ mutant background. We measured the cellular glycerol accumulation and found it was significantly lower in the C. albicans spt20Δ/Δ mutant strain, compared to the wild type strain SC5314 (P < 0.001). This result was also supported by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, which showed the expression levels of gene contributing to glycerol accumulation were reduced in Caspt20Δ/Δ compared to wild type (GPD2 and TGL1, P < 0.001), while ADH7 and AGP2, whose expression can lead to glycerol decrease, were induced when cells were exposed to high osmolarity (ADH7, P < 0.001; AGP2, P = 0.002). In addition, we tested the transcription levels of Hog1-dependent osmotic stress response genes, and found that they were significantly upregulated in wild type cells encountering hyperosmolarity, while the expression of HGT10, SKO1, CAT1, and SLP3 were not induced when SPT20 was deleted. Although the transcript of ORF19.3661 and ORF19.4370 in Caspt20Δ/Δ was induced in the presence of 1 M NaCl, the levels were less than what was observed in the wild type (ORF19.3661, P = 0.007; ORF19.4370, P = 0.011). Moreover, the deletion of CaSPT20 in C. albicans reduced phosphorylation levels of Hog1. These findings suggested that SPT20 is conserved between yeast and C. albicans and plays an important role in adapting to osmotic stress through regulating Hog1-MAPK pathway.
