IRhom2 Promotes Lupus Nephritis through ADAM17-Dependent TNF-α and EGFR Signaling

ABSTRACT: Lupus nephritis (LN) often results in progressive renal dysfunction. The inactive Rhomboid 2 (iRhom2) is a newly identified key regulator of A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), whose substrates, such as TNF-α and heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. Here we demonstrate that deficiency of iRhom2 protects the lupus-prone Fcgr2b-/- mice from developing severe kidney damage without altering anti-double stranded (ds) DNA Ab production, by simultaneously blocking the HB-EGF/EGFR and the TNF-α signaling in the kidney tissues. Unbiased transcriptome profiling of kidneys and kidney macrophages revealed that TNF-α and HB-EGF/EGFR signaling pathways are highly upregulated in Fcgr2b-/- mice; alterations that were diminished in the absence of iRhom2. Pharmacological blockade of either TNF-α or EGFR signaling protected Fcgr2b-/- mice from severe renal damage. Finally, kidneys from LN patients showed increased iRhom2 and HB-EGF expression, with interstitial HB-EGF expression significantly associated with chronicity indices. Our data suggest that activation of iRhom2/ADAM17-dependent TNF-α and EGFR signaling plays a crucial role in mediating irreversible kidney damage in LN, thereby uncovering a novel target for selective and simultaneous dual inhibition of two major pathological pathways in the effector arm of the disease.

ADAM17-mediated EGFR ligand shedding directs macrophage-promoted cancer cell invasion

Project description:Macrophages in the tumor microenvironment have a substantial impact on tumor progression. Depending on the signaling environment in the tumor, macrophages can either support or constrain tumor progression. It is therefore of therapeutic interest to identify the tumor-derived factors that control macrophage education. With this aim, we correlated the expression of A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM) proteases, which are key mediators of cell-cell signaling, to the expression of protumorigenic macrophage markers in human cancer cohorts. We identified ADAM17, a sheddase upregulated in many cancer types, as a protein of interest. Depletion of ADAM17 in cancer cell lines reduced the expression of several protumorigenic markers in neighboring macrophages in vitro as well as in mouse models. Moreover, ADAM17–/– educated macrophages demonstrated a reduced ability to induce cancer cell invasion. Using mass spectrometry–based proteomics and ELISA, we identified HB-EGF and AREG, shed by ADAM17 in the cancer cells, as the implicated molecular mediators of macrophage education. Additionally, RNA-Seq and ELISA experiments revealed that ADAM17-dependent HB-EGF ligand release induced the expression and secretion of CXCL chemokines in macrophages, which in turn stimulated cancer cell invasion. In conclusion, we provide evidence that ADAM17 mediates a paracrine EGFR-ligand-chemokine feedback loop, whereby cancer cells hijack macrophages to promote tumor progression.

Epidermal growth factor shedding directs macrophage education in cancer

Project description:Macrophages in the tumor microenvironment have a significant impact on tumor progression. Depending on the signaling environment in the tumor, macrophages can either support or constrain tumor growth and metastasis. It is therefore of therapeutic interest to identify the tumor-derived factors that control macrophage education. With this aim, we correlated the expression of ADAM proteases, which are key mediators of cell-cell signaling, to the expression of pro-tumorigenic macrophage markers in human cancer cohorts. We identified ADAM17, a sheddase upregulated in many cancer types, as a protein of interest. Depletion of ADAM17 in cancer cell lines reduced the expression of several pro-tumorigenic markers in neighboring macrophages in vitro as well as in mouse tumor models. Accordingly, ADAM17-/- educated macrophages demonstrated a reduced ability to induce cancer cell invasion. Using quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we identified HB-EGF, shed by ADAM17 in the cancer cells, as the implicated molecular mediator of macrophage education. Additionally, RNA-seq and ELISA experiments revealed that ADAM17-dependent HB-EGF release induces the expression and secretion of CXCL chemokines in macrophages, which in turn stimulates cancer cell invasion. In conclusion, we provide evidence that ADAM17 mediates a paracrine HB-EGF-chemokine feedback loop, whereby cancer cells hijack macrophages to promote tumor progression.

A highly conserved luminal ER exit motif in the pseudoproteases iRhom1 and iRhom2 is indispensable for TNF�� and EGF receptor ligand release

Project description:Membrane-tethered signalling proteins such as TNF�� and many EGF receptor ligands undergo shedding by the metalloproteinase ADAM17 to get released. The pseudoproteases iRhom1 and iRhom2 are important for the ER exit and activity of ADAM17. Yet, their structural requirements to promote ER exit remained unexplored. Utilising in silico and in vitro methods, we here map the conserved iRhom homology domain (IRHD) and provide insights into its structure and function. We identified a highly conserved motif within the IRHD, which is indispensable for the ER exit of iRhoms and termed it CERES (conserved ER exit sequence). Strikingly, single point mutations in CERES abrogate the ER exit without disrupting other iRhom functions. We confirmed the physiological significance of CERES by inactivating it in mice which abrogates ADAM17-mediated shedding ex vivo and in vivo. This demonstrates a crucial role of CERES in the ADAM17-dependent release of various growth factor and cytokine signals.

Congenital iRHOM2 deficiency causes ADAM17 dysfunction and environmentally directed immunodysregulatory disease [whole blood]

Project description:We report a pleiotropic disease due to loss-of-function mutations in RHBDF2, the gene encoding iRHOM2, in 2 kindreds with recurrent infections in different organs. One patient had recurrent pneumonia but no colon involvement, another had recurrent infectious hemorrhagic colitis but no lung involvement, and the other two experienced recurrent respiratory infections. Loss of iRHOM2, a rhomboid superfamily member that regulates the ADAM17 metalloproteinase, caused defective ADAM17-dependent cleavage and release of cytokines, including TNF and amphiregulin. To understand the diverse clinical phenotypes, we challenged Rhbdf2-/- mice with Pseudomonas aeruginosa by nasal gavage and observed more severe pneumonia whereas infection with Citrobacter rodentium caused worse inflammatory colitis than wild-type mice. The fecal microbiota in the colitis patient had characteristic oral species that can predispose to colitis. Thus, a new human immunodeficiency arising from iRHOM2 deficiency causes divergent disease phenotypes that can involve the local microbial environment.

Switching mechanism from AR to EGFR signaling via 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:Expression of HS3ST1 is markedly upregulated in castration-resistant prostate cancer, which proliferates hormone-independently. In a novel mechanism, EGFR–ERK1/2 signaling is activated via 3-O-sulfated HS and EGF/HB-EGF binding in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Phosphorylation of iRhom2 controls stimulated proteolytic shedding by the metalloprotease ADAM17/TACE

Project description:TACE (TNFa Converting Enzyme), is responsible for cleavage (‘shedding’) of membrane-tethered signaling molecules such as TNF of EGFR ligands. TACE interacts with iRhom2, which mediates the exit of TACE from the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study we analyze a new role for iRHOM2, where a fraction of the protein remains in the membrane and the phosphorylation of different residues in its cytoplasmatic tail is necessary for TACE shedding function.

The pseudoprotease iRhom1 controls ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins in the nervous system

Project description:Proteolytic ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins is a fundamental mechanism to control the communication between cells and their environment. A key protease for membrane protein shedding is ADAM17, which requires a non-proteolytic subunit, either inactive Rhomboid 1 (iRhom1) or iRhom2 for its activity. While iRhom1 and iRhom2 are coexpressed in most tissues and appear to have largely redundant functions, the brain is an organ with predominant expression of iRhom1. Yet, little is known about the spatio-temporal expression of iRhom1 in mammalian brain and about its function in controlling membrane protein shedding in the nervous system. Here, we demonstrate that iRhom1 is expressed in mouse brain from the prenatal stage to adulthood with a peak in early postnatal development. In the adult mouse brain iRhom1 was widely expressed, including in cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cerebellum. Proteomic analysis of the secretome of primary neurons and of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), obtained from iRhom1-deficient and control mice, identified several membrane proteins that require iRhom1 for their shedding in vitro or in vivo. One of these proteins was the ‘multiple-EGF-like-domains protein 10’ (MEGF10), a phagocytic receptor in the brain that is linked to the removal of amyloid and apoptotic neurons. MEGF10 was further validated as an ADAM17 substrate using ADAM17-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Taken together, this study discovers a role for iRhom1 in controlling membrane protein shedding in the mouse brain, establishes MEGF10 as an iRhom1-dependent ADAM17 substrate and demonstrates that iRhom1 is widely expressed in murine brain.

Expression data from Uveal Melanoma

Project description:Despite advances in surgery and radiotherapy of uveal melanoma (UM), many patients develop distant metastases that poorly respond to therapy. Improved therapies for the metastatic disease are therefore urgently needed. Expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a target of kinase inhibitors and humanized antibodies in use for several cancers, had been reported. 48 human UMs were analyzed by expression profiling. Evidence for signaling in tumors was obtained through the application of a UM-specific EGF signature. The EGFR specific kinase inhibitor, Gefitinib, and the humanized monoclonal antibody, Cetuximab, were tested for their effect on EGFR signaling. Natural killer cell mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and TNF-alpha release was analyzed for Cetuximab. EGFR appears suited as a novel molecular drug target for therapy of uveal melanoma. Gene expression profiles of 19 unique samples from uveal melanoma patients were measured.
