Project description:While mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the precise underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we identify the SIRT3-DsbA-L-TFAM axis as a crucial suppressor for mitochondrial stress-induced cGAS activation in the hepatocytes, thereby alleviating MASH in mice. SIRT3 facilitates the deacetylation of Disulfide-bond-A oxidoreductase-like protein (DsbA-L) at lysine residues (Lys165, Lys167, and Lys177), which promotes the interaction between DsbA-L and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), essential for the preservation of mitochondrial integrity and function. Hepatocyte-specific knockout of SIRT3 or DsbA-L in male mice promoted mitochondrial DNA release into the cytosol, resulting in activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and exacerbation of MASH characteristics. Conversely, hepatocyte-specific knockout of cGAS or overexpression of DsbA-L mitigated diet- and SIRT3 deficiency-induced MASH progression. Our study underscores the clinical significance of targeting SIRT3 and cGAS as pivotal therapeutic avenues to inhibit the progression of MASH.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a common complication in critically ill patients that is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, no effective treatment options are available. Here, we show that glutamine significantly attenuates leukocyte recruitment and inflammatory signaling in human and murine tubular epithelial cells (TECs). In a murine AKI model induced by ischemia-reperfusion-injury (IRI) we show that glutamine causes transcriptomic and proteomic reprogramming in renal TECs and neutrophils, resulting in decreased epithelial apoptosis, neutrophil recruitment and improved mitochondrial functionality and respiration provoked by an ameliorated oxidative phosphorylation. We identify the proteins glutamine gamma glutamyltransferase 2 (Tgm2) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (Ask1) as the major targets of glutamine in apoptotic signaling. Increased Tgm2 expression and reduced Ask1 activation result in decreased JNK activation leading to a diminished mitochondrial intrinsic apoptosis in kidneys upon IRI-induced AKI and under hypoxia or following TNFα-treatment of TECs. Consequently, glutamine administration attenuated kidney injury in vivo during AKI progression as well as TEC viability in vitro under inflammatory and hypoxic conditions.

Project description:Microarray analysis of human kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) has been limited because such kidneys are seldom biopsied. However, all kidney transplants experience AKI, and early kidney transplants without rejection are an excellent model for human AKI: they are screened to exclude chronic kidney disease, frequently biopsied, and have extensive follow-up. We used histopathology and microarrays to compare indication biopsies from 28 transplants with AKI to 11 pristine protocol biopsies of stable transplants. Kidneys with AKI showed increased expression of 394 injury-repair response associated transcripts, including many known epithelial injury molecules (e.g. ITGB6, LCN2), tissue remodeling molecules (e.g. VCAN), and inflammation molecules (S100A8, ITGB3). Many other genes also predict the phenotype, depending on statistical filtering rules, including AKI biomarkers as HAVCR1 and IL18. Most mouse orthologs of the top injury-repair transcripts were increased in published mouse AKI models. Pathway analysis of the injury-repair transcripts revealed similarities to cancer, development, and cell movement. The injury-repair transcript score AKI kidneys correlated with reduced function, future recovery, brain death, and need for dialysis, but not future graft loss. In contrast, histologic features of "acute tubular injury" did not correlate with function or with the molecular changes. Thus the injury-repair associated transcripts represent a massive coordinate injury-repair response of kidney parenchyma to AKI, similar to mouse AKI models, and provide an objective measure for assessing the severity of AKI in kidney biopsies and validation for the use of many AKI biomarkers. AKI biopsies sample names and CEL files are from GSE21374. All consenting renal transplant patients undergoing biopsies for cause as standard of care between 09/2004 and 10/2007 at the university of Alberta or between 11/2006 and 02/2007 at the University of Illinois were included in the analysis. In addition to the cores required for standard histopathology, we collected one core for gene expression studies. the relationship between gene expression in the biopsy and subsequent graft loss was analyzed. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in several clinical conditions accompanied by inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The Wnt inhibitor Tiki2 is highly expressed in the kidney with unknown function. Here, we demonstrated that Tiki2 is highly expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) and is dynamically regulated in AKI. Tubular epithelial cell-specific ablation of Tiki2 aggravated immune cell infiltration and tubular injury in IR-induced AKI. Mechanistically, Tiki2 ablation increased the activity of Wnt5a/Ror signaling, which is activated in PTECs in IR-induced AKI, leading to increased active JNK/ERK signaling and the secretion of chemokines and cytokines to promote the infiltration of immune cells. Furthermore, the increased severity of injury and inflammation caused by Tiki2 ablation could be relieved by knocking down Ror2 in PTECs. Our study reveals the critical roles of Wnt5a/Ror signaling and its negative regulator Tiki2 in IR-induced AKI, which are potential therapeutic targets for treating AKI

Project description:The DsbA oxidoreductase is a crucial factor responsible for introduction of disulfide bonds to the extracytoplasmic proteins in bacteria. A lack of the proper disulfides frequently leads to instability and/or loss of protein function. In pathogens, numerous envelope and extracellular proteins play important roles in pathogenesis; therefore, their improper disulfide bonding may lead to avirulent phenotypes. The importance of the DsbA function in phytopathogens has not been extensively studied yet. Dickeya solani is a bacterium from the Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae group which is responsible for very high economic losses mainly on potato. In recent years, D. solani became the most abundant potato pathogen among Dickeya species in Europe. In this work, using the D. solani dsbA mutant, we demonstrated that a lack of the DsbA function caused loss of virulence. Mutant bacteria were deficient in most secreted virulence determinants and were not able to develop disease symptoms in the natural host, the potato plant. The SWATH-MS-based proteomic analysis revealed that the dbsA mutation led to multifaceted effects in the D. solani cells. First of all, the levels of the majority of plant cell wall degrading enzymes and proteins related to motility and chemotaxis were severely reduced. Furthermore, the protein profiles suggested induction of the envelope and cytoplasm stress responses in the mutant cells. Finally, the outer membrane barrier seemed to be disturbed by the mutation. Our results clearly demonstrate that the function played by the DsbA oxidoreductase is indispensable for D. solani virulence and a lack of DsbA significantly disturbs cellular physiology. A thorough analysis of proteomic research suggests that a lack of virulence may result from both, abnormalities of the disulfide deprived virulence determinants and the envelope stress-dependent repression of the virulence genes in the dsbA mutant.

Project description:Acute kidney injury and nephrotoxicity are important clinical side effects of cisplatin. Thus, the mechanisms of this disease, and potential treatment options are important to understand in their entity. Here, we analyzed the proteome of cisplatin induced acute kidney injury in a mouse model. Functionally we found that calorie restriction was able to completely blunt Cisplatin induced AKI, and hypoxia ameliorated cCisplatin induced AKI. To investigate the mechanism for this in high throughput, we performed label-free single-shot proteomic analyses of these kidneys.Acute kidney injury and nephrotoxicity are important clinical side effects of cisplatin.

Project description:Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel isoforms (VDAC1, VDAC2, VDAC3) are relevant component of the outer mitochondrial membrane and play crucial role in cellular processes, in regulation of metabolism and in survival pathways. Recently, we reported the characterization of the oxidation pattern of cysteines in rat and human VDACs and highlighted the key role of these residues in protein function. However, the presence and localization of disulfide bonds in VDACs, a key point for their structural characterization, has so far remained undetermined. Herein we have investigated by nanoUHPLC/High Resolution nanoESI-MS/MS. the position of intramolecular disulfide bonds in the rat VDAC2 (rVDAC2), a protein that contains 11 cysteines. To this purpose, extraction, purification, and enzymatic digestions were carried out at slightly acidic or neutral pH in order to avoid disulfide bond interchange. The presence of six disulfide bridges was unequivocally determined, including a disulfide bridge linking the two adjacent cysteines 4 and 5, a disulfide bridge linking cysteines 9 and 14 and the alternative disulfide bridges between cysteines 48, 77 and 104. A disulfide bond, very resistant to reduction, between cysteines 134 and 139 was also detected. In addition to the previous findings, these results significantly extend the characterization of the oxidation state of cysteines in rVDAC2 and show that it is highly complex and presents unusual features.
