Project description:The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is spatiotemporally orchestrated by various organelles, but the precise roles of lysosomes are still unclear. Here we show the vital role of the Ragulator complex, a lysosomal protein, in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Deficiency of Lamtor1, an essential component of the Ragulator complex, abrogated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in murine macrophage and human monocytic cells. Myeloid-specific Lamtor1-deficient mice showed remarkable attenuation of the severity of NLRP3-associated inflammatory diseases, including LPS-induced sepsis, alum-induced peritonitis, and monosodium urate (MSU)-induced arthritis. Mechanistically, Lamtor1 interacted with histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) during NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and this interaction augmented the interaction between the Ragulator complex and NLRP3. Lack of HDAC6 attenuated the interaction between Lamtor1 and NLRP3, resulting in insufficient NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, DL-all-rac-α-tocopherol inhibited Lamtor1–HDAC6 interaction, resulting in diminished NLRP3 inflammasome activation. DL-all-rac-α-tocopherol alleviated acute gouty arthritis and MSU-induced peritonitis. Our results provide insight into the role of lysosomes in providing a platform for the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes by the Ragulator complex.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are myeloid precursors which exert potent immunosuppressive properties in cancer. Despite the extensive knowledge on mechanisms implicated in mobilization, recruitment and function of MDSCs, still their therapeutic targeting remains an unmet need in cancer immunotherapy suggesting that unappreciated mechanisms of MDSC-mediated suppression exist. Herein, we demonstrate an important role of NLRP3 inflammasome in the functional properties of MDSCs in tumor-bearing hosts. Specifically, Nlrp3-deficient mice exhibited reduced tumor growth compared to wild-type animals and induction of robust anti-tumor immunity, accompanied by re-wiring of the MDSC compartment. Interestingly, both monocytic (M-MDSCs) and granulocytic (G-MDSCs) subsets from Nlrp3-/- mice displayed impaired suppressive activity and demonstrated significant transcriptomic alterations supporting the loss-of-function and associated with metabolic re-programming. Finally, therapeutic targeting of NLRP3 inhibited tumor development and re-programmed the MDSC compartment. These findings propose that targeting NLRP3 in MDSCs could overcome tumor-induced tolerance and may provide new checkpoints of cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Inflammasome, activated by pathogen-derived and host-derived danger signals, constitutes a multimolecular signaling complex that serves as a platform for caspase-1 (CASP1) activation and interleukin-1beta (IL1B) maturation. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome requires two-step signals. The first “priming” signal (Signal 1) enhances gene expression of inflammasome components. The second “activation” signal (Signal 2) promotes the assembly of inflammasome components. Deregulated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the pathological processes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, at present, the precise mechanism regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation and deactivation remains largely unknown. By genome-wide gene expression profiling, we studied the molecular network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes in a human monocyte cell line THP-1 sequentially given two-step signals. We identified the set of 83 NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes. Among them, we found the NR4A nuclear receptor family NR4A1, NR4A2, and NR4A3, the EGR family EGR1, EGR2, and EGR3, the IkappaB family NFKBIZ, NFKBID, and NFKBIA as a key group of the genes that possibly constitute a negative feedback loop for shutting down inflammation following NLRP3 inflammasome activation. By molecular network analysis, we identified a complex network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes involved in cellular development and death, and immune and inflammatory responses, where transcription factors AP-1, NR4A, and EGR serve as a hub. Thus, NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes constitute the molecular network composed of a set of negative feedback regulators for prompt resolution of inflammation. To load the Signal 1 (S1), THP-1 cells were incubated for 3 hours in the culture medium with or without inclusion of 0.2 microgram/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To load the Signal 2 (S2), they were incubated further for 2 hours in the culture medium with inclusion of 10 microM nigericin sodium salt dissolved in ethanol or the equal v/v% concentration of ethanol (vehicle), followed by processing for microarray analysis on Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix).

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-protein complex that triggers the activation of the inflammatory protein caspase-1 and the maturation of the cytokine IL-1 in response to microbes and other danger signals in host cells. Here, we sought a deeper understanding of how the NLRP3 inflammasome is regulated. We found that inflammasome activation induced the Src family kinase Lyn to phosphorylate NLRP3 at Tyr918, and that this phosphorylation of NLRP3 correlated with a subsequent increase in its ubiquitination, which facilitated its proteasome-mediated degradation. NLRP3 tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitination was abrogated in Lyn-deficient macrophages, which produced increased amounts of IL-1. Furthermore, mice lacking Lyn were highly susceptible to LPS-induced septic shock in an NLRP3-dependent manner. Our data demonstrate that Lyn-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of NLRP3 is a prerequisite for its ubiquitination, thus dampening NLRP3 inflammasome activity.

Project description:Autophagy and autophagy-associated genes are closely linked to NLRP3-mediated inflammation in inflammatory disorders. This study determined that the functions of CCDC50, the novel autophagy receptor, in regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and associated inflammatory diseases. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in shCtrl and shCCDC50 cells to evaluate the inflammatory responses regulated by CCDC50. The deep sequencing results showed that CCDC50 defciency caused increased NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and upregulation of associated disease pathways.

Project description:Immune response genes are disproportionately polymorphic in humans and mice, with heterogeneity amongst loci driving strain specific host defense responses. The inadvertent retention of polymorphic loci can confound results, lead to false conclusions, and delay scientific progress. By combining RNAseq and variant calling analyses, we identify a substantial region of 129S genome, including the highly polymorphic Nlrp1 locus proximal to Nlrp3, in one of the most commonly used mouse models of NLRP3 deficiency. We show that 129S NLRP1 can be tolerated at higher expression levels at steady-state, however this sensitizes Nlrp3-/- mice to NLRP1 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, the presence of 129S genome leads to altered gene and protein regulation across multiple cell-types, including of the key tissue-resident macrophage marker, TIM4. In order to resolve NLRP3 dependent phenotypes we validate a conditional Nlrp3 allele enabling temporal and cell-type specific control of NLRP3 deletion. Our study provides an accessible strategy to identify functionally relevant SNPs and assess genomic contamination in transgenic mice, to allow for unambiguous attribution of phenotypes to the target gene.

Project description:Transcriptional coactivators regulate the rate of gene expression in the nucleus, but their role in the extranuclear sites is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that nuclear receptor coactivator 6 (NCOA6) translocated to the cytoplasm, then was incorporated to NLRP3 inflammasome complex, and acquired a new function of “activation of inflammation and innate immune response”, beyond its original function of nuclear coactivation, in monocytes and macrophages. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic NCOA6 directly interacted with NACHT domain of NLRP3 and then promoted NLRP3 activity. Genetic ablation of Ncoa6 substantially attenuated severity of mouse models of two NLRP3-dependent diseases, folic-induced acute tubular necrosis and crystal-induced arthritis in mice. Consistent with these findings, NCOA6 was highly expressed in macrophages of gout patients and its signature was significantly enriched in the gout macrophages in transcriptome profiling. Conclusively, NCOA6 is a critical regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and therefore a promising target for NLRP3-dependent diseases, including gout.

Project description:CD8+ T cells derived from mice with intact NLRP3 signaling in the tumor microenvironment showed an increased expression of coinhibitory receptors PD-1, TIM-3, 2B4 and LAG-3 compared to CD8+ T cells from PancOVA-bearing Nlrp3-/- mice, indicating that NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the tumor microenvironment mediates IL-18 receptor signaling-induced T cell exhaustion. RNAseq was used to characterised molecular pathways involved in T cell plasticity in the presence and absence of intratumoral NLRP3.

Project description:The Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenase AlkB from E. coli is a demethylase which repairs alkyl lesions in DNA, as well as RNA, through a direct reversal mechanism. Humans possess nine AlkB homologues (ALKBH1-8 and FTO). ALKBH2 and ALKBH3 display demethylase activities corresponding to that of AlkB, and both ALKBH8 and FTO are RNA modification enzymes. The biochemical functions of the rest of the homologues are still unknown. To increase our knowledge on the functions of ALKBH4 and ALKBH7 we have here performed yeast two-hybrid screens to identify interaction partners of the two proteins. While no high-confidence hits were detected in the case of ALKBH7, several proteins associated with chromatin and/or involved in transcription were found to interact with ALKBH4. For all interaction partners, the regions mediating binding to ALKBH4 comprised domains previously reported to be involved in interaction with DNA or chromatin. Furthermore, some of these partners showed nuclear co-localization with ALKBH4. However, the global gene expression pattern was only marginally altered upon ALKBH4 over-expression, and larger effects were observed in the case of ALKBH7. Although the molecular function of both proteins remains to be revealed, our findings suggest a role for ALKBH4 in regulation of gene expression or chromatin state and support the previous association of ALKBH7 with spermatogenesis.
