Stepwise Neofunctionalization of c-Rel during Vertebrate Evolution (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Adaptive immunity and the five vertebrate NF-kB/Rel family members first appeared in cartilaginous fish, suggesting that NF-kB family expansion allowed the acquisition of new functions to regulate adaptive immune responses. Transcriptome profiling revealed that, even in macrophages, the NF-kB family member, c-Rel, most potently regulates a cytokine gene linked to adaptive immunity, Il12b, with limiting roles at key regulators of innate immunity. Neofunctionalization of c-Rel to regulate Il12b depends on its unique DNA-binding properties, which we examined using structural, biochemical, functional, and genomic approaches. Among our findings was functional c-Rel homodimer binding to motifs with little resemblance to canonical NF-kB motifs. To determine whether c-Rel’s unique binding properties drove c-Rel-RelA divergence, we compared binding properties in various vertebrate species. c-Rel-RelA binding properties diverged in mammals and amphibians but were comparable in earlier vertebrates, suggesting that divergent DNA binding emerged relatively late during vertebrate evolution to support increasing complexity of adaptive immune regulation.

NF-kB subunits direct kinetically distinct transcriptional cascades in antigen receptor-activated B cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The NF-kB family of transcription factors orchestrates signal-induced gene expression in a diversity of cell types. Cellular responses to NF-kB activation are regulated at the level of cell- and signal-specificity, as well as differential use of family members (subunit specificity). Here we used time-dependent multi-omics to investigate selective functions of Rel and RelA, two closely related NF-kB proteins, in primary B lymphocytes activated via the B cell receptor. Despite large numbers of shared binding sites genome wide, Rel and RelA directed kinetically distinct cascades of gene expression in activated B cells. Single-cell RNA-Seq revealed marked heterogeneity of Rel- and RelA-specific responses and sequential binding of these factors was not a major mechanism of protracted transcription. Moreover, nuclear co-expression of Rel and RelA led to functional antagonism between the two factors. By rigorously identifying target genes of each NF-kB subunit, these studies provide insights into exclusive functions of Rel and RelA in immunity and cancer.

The NF-kB genomic landscape in lymphoblastoid B-cells

Project description:The nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) subunits RelA, RelB, c-Rel, p50 and p52 are each critical for B-cell development and function. To systematically characterize their responses to canonical and non-canonical NF-kB pathways activity, we performed ChIP-seq analysis in lymphoblastoid B-cells. We found a surprisingly complex NF-kB binding landscape, which did not readily reflect the two NF-kB pathway paradigm. Instead, ten subunit binding patterns were observed at promoters and eleven at enhancers. Surprisingly, nearly one-third of NF-kB binding sites lacked kB motifs. De novo motif finding uncovered distinct modes of NF-kB recruitment at these sites. The oncogenic forkhead box protein FOXM1 and NF-kB co-occupied many kB sites despite the absence of a FOXM1 DNA motif. FoxM1 knockdown decreased expression of key NF-kB targets and caused apoptosis. Our study highlights opportunities for selective therapeutic NF-kB blockade. ChIP-seq was used to define the genomic landscape of NF-kB DNA binding in lymphoblastoid cells.

AhmedMobeen2021 - NF-kB Activation Model

Project description:NF-kappaB Activation Model includes the activation of both NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB for Canonical and Non-Canonical Pathway respectively. The model includes the pathway model integrated with post-translational modifications of NF-kB subunits that regulate the NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB activity. The processes that are regulated by NF-kB pathway can be monitored through following readouts NFKB1:RELA Activity, NFKB2:RELB Activity, Degraded RelA, Degraded RelB, Degraded IkB, Degraded NIK, Apoptosis, Tumour, Antiviral Activity, B Cell Growth and Cell Migration. However, last 5 processes above are also influenced by other pathways too, therefore while making predictions, caution has to be exercised.

cRel sang

Project description:NF-kB is a transcriptional factor that consists in homo and heterodimers of the large family of Rel subunits. Among the most important functions for NF-kB, initiation of immunological/inflammatory responses and regulation of cell proliferation/apoptosis which are the major features of severe infections. Although the role of NF-kB is crucial in host defense against pathogens, mice deficient for individual subunits of NF-kB have not been explored in murine models of polymicrobial infection. In this report, we have investigated in vivo the consequences of cRel subunit deficiency in the survival to polymicrobial infection. We have also approached the underlying mechanisms of the host defense by analyzing cytokine production, bacterial clearance and the distribution of innate and adaptive immune cells. Absence of cRel enhances mice mortality to polymicrobial sepsis. The decreased survival of cRel-/- animals upon infection is not related to altered local mechanisms of innate defense such as the peritoneal recruitment of the Gr.1+CD11b+ phagocytic cells and the bacterial clearance. However, cRel deficiency allows to altered systemic cytokine response associated to sustained loss of the lymphoïd subset CD8a+ of spleen dendritic cells, key antigen-presenting cells for the initiation of the adaptive immunity. Genome-wide analysis of the systemic host response to polymicrobial sepsis reveals inflammatory/immune and apoptotic gene signatures associated to cRel subunit. In this study we identified the NF-kB member cRel, as a key factor which plays a critical role in survival to polymicrobial sepsis and also as a regulatory transcription subunit controlling the inflammatory and the adaptive immune responses in severe infection.
