MTOR-dependent translation amplifies microglia priming in ageing

ABSTRACT: Microglia maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, with age, they become primed and respond more strongly to inflammatory stimuli. We show here that microglia from aged mice upregulated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 signaling regulating translation, as well as cytokine protein levels. Genetic ablation of mTOR signaling showed a dual, yet contrasting effect on microglia priming: it caused an NF-kB-dependent upregulation of priming genes at mRNA level; however, mice displayed reduced cytokine protein levels, diminished microglia activation and milder sickness behavior. The effect on translation was dependent on reduced phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and increased 4EBP1 expression, resulting in decreased binding of EIF4E to EIF4G. Similar changes were present in aged human microglia and in damage-associated microglia, indicating upregulation of mTOR-dependent translation is an essential step licensing microglia priming in ageing and neurodegeneration.

Project description:Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)–binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) inhibits cap-dependent translation in eukaryotes by competing with eIF4G for an interaction with eIF4E. Phos-phorylation at Ser-83 of 4E-BP1 occurs during mitosis through the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1)/cyclin B rather than through canonical mTOR kinase activity. Here, we investi-gated the interaction of eIF4E with 4E-BP1 or eIF4G during interphase and mitosis. We observed that 4E-BP1 and eIF4G bind eIF4E at similar levels during interphase and mitosis. The most highly phosphorylated mitotic 4E-BP1 isoform (δ) did not interact with eIF4E, whereas a distinct 4E-BP1 phospho-isoform, EB-γ—phosphorylated at Thr-70, Ser-83, and Ser-101—bound to eIF4E during mitosis. Two-dimensional gel electropho-retic analysis corroborated the identity of the phosphorylation marks on the eIF4E-bound 4E-BP1 isoforms and uncovered a population of phosphorylated 4E-BP1 molecules lacking Thr-37/Thr-46–priming phosphorylation. Moreover, proximity ligation assays for phospho–4E-BP1 and eIF4E revealed different in situ interactions during interphase and mitosis. The eIF4E:eIF4G interaction was not inhibited, but rather increased in mitotic cells, consistent with active translation initiation during mitosis. Phospho-defective substitution of 4E-BP1 at Ser-83 did not change global translation or individual mRNA translation profiles as measured by single-cell nascent protein synthesis and eIF4G RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing. Mitotic 5’-terminal oligopyrimidine RNA translation was active and, unlike interphase translation, resistant to mTOR inhibition. Our findings reveal the phosphorylation profiles of 4E-BP1 isoforms and their interactions with eIF4E throughout the cell cycle and indicate that 4E-BP1 does not specifically inhibit translation initiation during mitosis.

Targeted profiling of RNA translation reveals mTOR-4EBP1/2-independent translational regulation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins

Project description:The PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway is a master regulator of RNA translation. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway preferentially and coordinately suppresses, in a 4EBP1/2-dependent manner, translation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins. However, it remains unclear whether mTOR-4EBP1/2 is the exclusive translational regulator of this group of genes, and furthermore, systematic searches for novel translational modulators have been immensely challenging due to difficulties in scaling existing RNA translation profiling assays. Here, we developed a rapid and highly scalable approach for gene-specific quantitation of RNA translation, termed Targeted Profiling of RNA Translation (TPRT). We applied this technique in a chemical screen for novel translational modulators, and identified numerous preclinical and clinical therapeutic compounds, with diverse nominal targets, that preferentially suppress translation of ribosomal proteins. Surprisingly, some of these compounds act in a manner that bypasses canonical regulation by mTOR-4EBP1/2. Instead, these compounds exert their translational effects in a manner that is dependent upon GCN2-eIF2α, a central signaling axis within the integrated stress response. Furthermore, we were also able to identify metabolic perturbations that also suppress ribosomal protein translation in an mTOR-independent manner. Together, we describe a novel translational assay that is directly applicable to large-scale RNA translation studies, and that enabled us to identify a non-canonical, mTOR-independent mode for translational regulation of ribosomal proteins.

Transcriptomic and Functional Studies Reveal Undermined Chemotactic and Angiostimulatory Properties of Aged Microglia During Stroke Recovery

Project description:Age-dependent alterations in microglia behavior have been implicated in neurodegeneration and CNS injuries. Here, we compared the transcriptional profiles of young versus aged microglia during stroke recovery. CD45intermediateCD11b+ microglia were FACS-isolated from the brains of young (10-week-old) and aged (18-month-old) male mice 14 days after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCAO) or sham operation and subjected to RNA-sequencing analysis. Functional groups enriched in young microglia are indicative of upregulation in cell movement, cell interactions, inflammatory responses and angiogenesis, while aged microglia exhibited a reduction or no change in these features. We confirmed reduced chemoattractive capacities of aged microglia toward ischemic brain tissue in organotypic slide co-cultures, and delayed accumulation of aged microglia around dead neurons injected into the striatum in vivo. In addition, aging is associated with an overall failure to increase the expression of microglial genes involved in cell-cell interactions, such as CXCL10. Finally, impaired upregulation of pro-angiogenic genes in aged microglia was associated with a decline in neovascularization in aged mice compared to young mice after dMCAO. This study provides a new resource to understand the mechanisms underlying microglial alterations in the aged brain milieu and sheds light on new strategies to improve microglial functions in aged stroke victims.

LARP1 mRNP scaffolds mTORC1 to stimulate translation initiation of an essential class of mRNAs

Project description:The RNA biding protein, LARP1, has been proposed to function downstream of mTORC1 to positively regulate the translation of 5M-bM-^@M-^YTOP mRNAs such as ribosome protein (RP) mRNAs. However, its regulatory roles in mTORC1-mediated translation remain unclear. PAR-CLIP of LARP1 revealed its direct and dynamic interactions with RP mRNAs through pyrimidine-enriched sequences in the 5M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of RP mRNAs when mTOR activity is inhibited. Importantly, this LARP1 is a direct substrate of mTORC1 and S6K1/Akt, and phosphorylated LARP1 scaffolds mTORC1 on translation-competent mRNAs to facilitate 4EBP1 and S6K1 phosphorylation. Ablation of LARP1 causes multiple defects in the processes of translation including abnormal eIF4G1 interaction with RP mRNAs and inefficient RP mRNA elongation thereby reducing ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation. These observations illustrate that LARP1 functions both an effector and a regulator for local mTORC1 activity, and acts as a molecular switch for ribosome biogenesis by sensing growth factor/nutrient signaling. LARP1-bound RNA regions were sequenced from HEK293T cells under growing or mTOR-inactive conditions. In parallel, mRNA abundance was quantified, in biological duplicate, from HEK293T cells under the same conditions.

Selective Inhibitors of mTORC1 Activate 4EBP1 and Suppress Tumor Growth

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Defining the microglia transcriptome in multifunctional protein-2 deficient mice

Project description:Purpose: We purified whole brain microglia of MFP2 knockout mice and control mice utilizing percoll gradient and FACS sorting, followed by microarray analysis to define the molecular changes in MFP2 knockout mice at the endstage of the disease. We compared the microglia transcriptome of Mfp2-/- microglia to that of SOD1-G93A microglia isolated from spinal cord to define the microglia signature associated with a non-neurodegenerative environment. Results and conclusions: Mfp2-/- microglia acquire an activation state characterized by activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In addition, activated microglia display reduced expression of genes that are normally highly expressed by surveillant microglia in steady-state conditions. The immunological profile of is heterogeneous and encompasses upregulation of both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes. In contrast to the neurodegeneration-specific microglia profile in SOD1-G93A mice, Mfp2-/- microglia do not induce genes associated with phagocytosis, lysosomal activation and neurotoxicity. 4 MFP2 knockout and 4 control samples were subjected to microarray analysis.
