Project description:Colonic goblet cells respond to invading enteropathogens by secreting Muc2 mucin and other specific goblet cell proteins that physically entrap and expel microbes away from the epithelium. At present, it is unclear how innate effectors in the gut, including small cationic cathelicidin peptides secreted by the intestinal epithelium and leukocytes, contribute to mucus barrier defense during infections. In this study, we used cathelicidin-deficient (Camp-/-) mice, colonoids, and human colonic LS174T goblet cells to elucidate the mechanisms by which cathelicidin regulates goblet cell secretions in innate host defense against attaching/effacing Citrobacter rodentium. We showed that even though Camp-/- littermates infected with C. rodentium displayed increased fecal shedding and epithelial colonization, Muc2 mucin granules were retained in bloated colonic goblet cells that impaired mucus secretion and expressed less mucus-associated proteins, as quantified by proteomic analysis. C. rodentium infected Camp-/- littermates showed impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and transcriptomic profiling associated with decreased ROS biosynthesis and an increase in ROS negative regulators. Camp-/- bone marrow derived macrophages produced less ROS than their wild-type counterparts. In LS174T goblet cells, human cathelicidin LL-37 promptly induced the secretion of goblet cell-associated TFF3 and RELMβ, which was dependent on ROS production. These findings demonstrate that cathelicidin signaling in colonic goblet cells regulates mucus and mucin-associated protein secretion via an ROS-dependent mechanism to clear bacterial infections and restore gut homeostasis.

Project description:Appropriate glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells in response to hypoglycemia is an important component of maintaining glucose homeostasis. Dysregulated glucagon secretion leads to the delayed recovery from a hypoglycemic attack in type 1 diabetes patients which can be lethal. Although elucidating the precise mechanism of glucagon secretion in hypoglycemia is warranted, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.The present study provides evidence of the role of autophagy in glucagon secretion in hypoglycemia by demonstrating that autophagy regulates adrenergic stimulation of glucagon secretion downstream of beta2 adrenergic receptor. First, from the analyses of T1D human islets and the published database of scRNA-seq of T1D human alpha cells, we described autophagy pathways altered in T1D alpha cells. Second, we generated alpha cell-specific Atg7KO mice (alphaAtg7KO) and clarified that the lack of autophagy in alpha cells impairs the reactive glucagon secretion in acute hypoglycemia. Third, to interrogate the molecular mechanism of autophagy-mediated glucagon regulation, we analyzed top genes downregulated inT1D and T2D alpha cells and found the expression of beta2 adrenergic receptor showed significant down-regulation in T1D alpha cells. We confirmed the decreased expression of beta2 adrenergic receptor in alpha cells of the T1D pancreas section, the islets of alphaAtg7KO mice, and a murine alpha cell line with stable knockdown of Atg7. Furthermore, in vivo and ex vivo studies of alphaAtg7KO mice exhibited that lack of autophagy led to the loss of stimulatory effect of beta2-adrenergic signaling on glucagon secretion. Finally, we established the Atg7 knockdown model in sorted human alpha cells and confirmed the effect of autophagy on the expression of the beta2 adrenergic receptor. Together, our study provides novel insights into the regulatory role of autophagy in glucagon secretion in response to hypoglycemia and provides therapeutic options to achieve stable glycemic control in T1D patients.

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved process in eukaryotes that contributes to cell survival in response to stress. Previously, we found that ER stress induces autophagy in a manner dependent upon IRE1b, an ER membrane-associated factor involved in the splicing of bZIP60 mRNA. IRE1 is a dual protein kinase and ribonuclease, and here we studied the involvement of the protein kinase catalytic domain, nucleotide binding and RNase domains of IRE1b in activating autophagy. Autophagy was assessed by quantifying the numbers of autophagosomes in transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings bearing mutations in the various IRE1b domains. The results showed that nucleotide binding and RNase activity of IRE1b are required for ER stress-mediated autophagy. The RNase activity is involved in IRE1b’s mRNA splicing function, but its principal splicing target, bZIP60, is not involved in IRE1b’s activation of autophagy. We therefore considered other roles for IRE1b in the activation of autophagy. Clustering of ER localized IRE1b-YFP was observed when seedlings were subjected to ER stress, and so we investigated whether IRE1b clustering induced autophagy. However, the RNase knockout mutation in IRE1b still undergoes clustering, suggesting that IRE1b clustering does not induce autophagy. In response to ER stress, the RNase of IRE1 has been found to engage in another activity called Regulated Ire1-Dependent Decay of Messenger RNA (RIDD), which is the promiscuous degradation of other mRNA in response to ER stress. By analyzing the RNA-seq data, 12 RIDD target genes were picked up for testing their role in inhibiting autophagy, and glucosidase 21 and peroxidase 14 are proved to be degraded to support the induction of autophagy by ER stress.

Project description:Autophagy is an essential cellular process that is deeply integrated with innate immune signaling; however, studies that examine autophagy in the context of inflammatory conditions are lacking. Here, using mouse models with a constitutively active variant of the autophagy gene Beclin1, we show that increased autophagy dampens cytokine production in models of inflammation and adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) infection. We further analyzed primary macrophages from these animals with a combination of transcriptomics and proteomics to identify novel mechanistic targets downstream of autophagy. Our study reveals glutamine metabolism and the RNF128/TBK1 axis as independent regulators of inflammation. Altogether, our work highlights increased autophagic flux as a potential approach to reduce inflammation and defines independent mechanistic cascades involved in this control.

Project description:The intestinal epithelium is continuously renewed by a pool of intestinal stem cells expressing Lgr5. We show that deletion of the key autophagy gene Atg7 affects the survival of Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells. Mechanistically, this involves defective DNA repair, oxidative stress, and altered interactions with the microbiota. This study highlights the importance of autophagy in maintaining the integrity of intestinal stem cells.
