Project description:By binding to specific DNA elements, known collectively as “κB sites”, contained within the promoters/enhancers of target genes, NF-κB regulates gene expression. We found that the identity of the central base pair (bp) of κB sites profoundly impacts the transcriptional activity of NF-κB dimers. RelA dimers prefer an A/T bp at this position for optimum transcriptional activation (A/T-centric) and discriminate against G/C-centric κB sites. The p52 homodimer, in contrast, activates transcription from G/C-centric κB sites in complex with Bcl3 but represses transcription from the A/T-centric sites. The p52:Bcl3 complex binds to these two classes of κB sites in distinct modes permitting recruitment of coactivator, corepressor, or both coactivator and corepressor complexes in promoters containing G/C, A/T or both G/C and A/T-centric sites. Therefore, through sensing of bp differences within κB sites, NF-κB dimers modulate biological programs by activating, repressing and altering expression of effector genes. Total RNA extracted from bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) with Bcl3 siRNA knockdown or mouse scramble siRNA knockdown were subjected to LPS stimulation.

Project description:Background
This work focuses on the computational modelling of osteomyelitis, a bone pathology caused by bacteria infection (mostly Staphylococcus aureus). The infection alters the RANK/RANKL/OPG signalling dynamics that regulates osteoblasts and osteoclasts behaviour in bone remodelling, i.e. the resorption and mineralization activity. The infection rapidly leads to severe bone loss, necrosis of the affected portion, and it may even spread to other parts of the body. On the other hand, osteoporosis is not a bacterial infection but similarly is a defective bone pathology arising due to imbalances in the RANK/RANKL/OPG molecular pathway, and due to the progressive weakening of bone structure.
Results
Since both osteoporosis and osteomyelitis cause loss of bone mass, we focused on comparing the dynamics of these diseases by means of computational models. Firstly, we performed meta-analysis on a gene expression data of normal, osteoporotic and osteomyelitis bone conditions. We mainly focused on RANKL/OPG signalling, the TNF and TNF receptor superfamilies and the NF-kB pathway. Using information from the gene expression data we estimated parameters for a novel model of osteoporosis and of osteomyelitis. Our models could be seen as a hybrid ODE and probabilistic verification modelling framework which aims at investigating the dynamics of the effects of the infection in bone remodelling. Finally we discuss different diagnostic estimators defined by formal verification techniques, in order to assess different bone pathologies (osteopenia, osteoporosis and osteomyelitis) in an effective way.
Conclusions
We present a modeling framework able to reproduce aspects of the different bone remodeling defective dynamics of osteomyelitis and osteoporosis. We report that the verification-based estimators are meaningful in the light of a feed forward between computational medicine and clinical bioinformatics

Project description:Peripherally induced regulatory T cells (pTregs) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan-receptor gamma t (RORγt) are indispensable for intestinal immune homeostasis. Previous studies have determined the role of the atypical NFκB inhibitor Bcl3 in the development of colitis. In this study we analyzed the influence of Bcl3 on pTreg development and functionality in healthy mice and under colitogenic conditions. Our findings reveal that expression of Bcl3, in health, limits not just the development of pTregs in a T cell intrinsic manner but also the formation of a RORγt+Helios+ double positive subset (DPTreg) expressing an activated transcriptional profile. Consequently, loss of Bcl3 in Tregs does not impede their suppressive capacity in a model of T cell transfer colitis but moreover leads to increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGFβ. We further demonstrate that lack of Bcl3 in Tregs results in trans-differentiation towards Th17-like cells. Finally, we provide a Bcl3 dependent gene signature in pTregs including altered signaling of the cytokines IL-2, IL-6 and TNFα. We therefore conclude that expression of Bcl3 regulates the sensitivity of Tregs towards homeostatic cytokines and consequently limits the formation of an unphysiological number of RORγt+ Tregs.

Project description:Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells generated by the fusion of precursors in response to stimulation with macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF) and receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL). These cells are the only cells capable of resorbing bone. Tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase is an enzyme secreted by osteoclasts that acts in bone resorption. Mice that are deficient for TRAP have shorter bones and their osteoclasts have decreased resorption capacity. In this project, we will isolate bone marrow macrophages from wild type and TRAP deficient mice, and differentiate the cells in osteoclasts in vitro. RNA will be extracted from macrophages and from macrophages stimulated with RANKL for both mouse lines (n=3/group) yielding 4 groups: Group 1 – macrophages from wild type mice, Group 2 – osteoclasts from wild type mice, Group 3 – macrophages from TRAP deficient mice, Group 4 – osteoclasts from TRAP deficient mice. The differential gene expression will be analyzed by RNAseq.

Project description:We identify the atypical inhibitor-κB protein, Bcl3, as a novel biomarker in gliomas whose expression level predicts response to therapy. Bcl3 is found at 19q13 and its expression level in glioma is regulated by copy number alteration. Mechanistically, Bcl3 mediates mesenchymal differentiation and its presence promotes resistance to cytotoxic DNA damage.

Mathematical model of paracrine interactions between osteoclasts and osteoblasts predicts anabolic action of parathyroid hormone on bone.

Abstract:
To restore falling plasma calcium levels, PTH promotes calcium liberation from bone. PTH targets bone-forming cells, osteoblasts, to increase expression of the cytokine receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL), which then stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption. Intriguingly, whereas continuous administration of PTH decreases bone mass, intermittent PTH has an anabolic effect on bone, which was proposed to arise from direct effects of PTH on osteoblastic bone formation. However, antiresorptive therapies impair the ability of PTH to increase bone mass, indicating a complex role for osteoclasts in the process. We developed a mathematical model that describes the actions of PTH at a single site of bone remodeling, where osteoclasts and osteoblasts are regulated by local autocrine and paracrine factors. It was assumed that PTH acts only to increase the production of RANKL by osteoblasts. As a result, PTH stimulated osteoclasts upon application, followed by compensatory osteoblast activation due to the coupling of osteoblasts to osteoclasts through local paracrine factors. Continuous PTH administration resulted in net bone loss, because bone resorption preceded bone formation at all times. In contrast, over a wide range of model parameters, short application of PTH resulted in a net increase in bone mass, because osteoclasts were rapidly removed upon PTH withdrawal, enabling osteoblasts to rebuild the bone. In excellent agreement with experimental findings, increase in the rate of osteoclast death abolished the anabolic effect of PTH on bone. This study presents an original concept for the regulation of bone remodeling by PTH, currently the only approved anabolic treatment for osteoporosis.

Project description:Osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation/replenishment are closely coupled in bone metabolism. Anabolic parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is commonly used for treating osteoporosis, shifts the balance from osteoclastic to osteoblastic, although the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unclear. Here we identified a serine protease inhibitor, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a novel coupling factor that is involved in the PTH-mediated shift to the osteoblastic phase. SLPI was highly upregulated in osteoblasts by PTH, and genetic ablation of SLPI severely impaired PTH-induced bone formation. SLPI induction in osteoblasts enhanced osteoblast differentiation intracellularly and was also secreted extracellularly, attracting neighboring osteoclasts to suppress osteoclastic function. Intravital bone imaging revealed that the PTH-mediated association between osteoblasts and osteoclasts was disrupted in the absence of SLPI. Collectively, these results demonstrate that SLPI, a previously unrecognized bone-coupling factor, mediates the communication of osteoblasts with osteoclasts to promote PTH-induced bone formation.
