Asparagine endopeptidase deficiency mitigates radiation-induced brain injury by suppressing microglia-mediated neuronal senescence

ABSTRACT: Mounting evidence supports the role of neuroinflammation in radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI), a chronic disease characterized by delayed and progressive neurological impairment. Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP), also known as legumain (LGMN), participates in multiple malignancies and neurodegenerative diseases and may potentially be involved in RIBI. Here, we found AEP expression was substantially elevated in the cortex and hippocampus of WT (Lgmn+/+) mice following whole-brain irradiation. Lgmn knockout (Lgmn-/-) alleviated neurological impairment caused by whole-brain irradiation by suppressing neuronal senescence. Bulk RNA and metabolomic sequencing revealed AEP’s involvement in the antigen processing and presentation pathway and neuroinflammation. This was further confirmed by co-culturing Lgmn+/+ primary neurons with the conditioned media derived from irradiated Lgmn+/+ or Lgmn-/- primary microglia. Furthermore, esomeprazole inhibited the enzymatic activity of AEP and RIBI. These findings identified AEP as a critical factor of neuroinflammation in RIBI, highlighting the prospect of targeting AEP as a therapeutic approach.

Regulation of Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation Post-Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Gut Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism

Project description:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) induces alterations in the gut microbiota composition, significantly impacting neuroinflammation post-ICH. However, the impact of gut microbiota absence on neuroinflammation following ICH-induced brain injury remain unexplored. Here, we observed that the gut microbiota absence was associated with reduced neuroinflammation, alleviated neurological dysfunction, and mitigated gut barrier dysfunction post-ICH. In contrast, recolonization of microbiota from ICH-induced SPF mice by transplantation of fecal microbiota (FMT) exacerbated brain injury and gut impairment post-ICH. Additionally, microglia with transcriptional changes mediated the protective effects of gut microbiota absence on brain injury, with Apoe emerging as a hub gene. Subsequently, Apoe deficiency in peri-hematomal microglia was associated with improved brain injury. Finally, we revealed that gut microbiota influence brain injury and gut impairment via gut-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).

PD-1 through asparaginyl endopeptidase regulates FoxP3 Stability in Induced Regulatory T cells

Project description:CD4+ T cell differentiation into multiple T helper lineages is critical for optimal adaptive immune responses. This report identified a novel intrinsic mechanism by which PD-1 signaling imparted regulatory phenotype to FoxP3+ Th1 cells (denoted as Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells) and iTregs. Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells were capable of preventing inflammation in murine models of experimental colitis and experimental graft versus host disease. PDL-1 binding to PD-1 imparted regulatory function to Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells and iTregs by specifically downregulating an endolysosomal protease asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) AEP regulated FoxP3 stability and blocking AEP imparted regulatory function in Tbet+iTregs cells. Also AEP-/- iTregs significantly inhibited GvHD and maintained FoxP3. Furthermore, PD-1 mediated FoxP3 maintenance in Tbet+Th1 cells occurred both in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and during chronic viral infection. Collectively, this report has identified a novel intrinsic function for PD-1 in converting Th1 cells into Tregs through an intrinsic proteolytic pathway

Understanding the physiological role of asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP)/Legumain

Project description:Understanding the regulation of lysosomal proteolytic/hidrolytic capacity has been recently advanced in a huge manner by the discovery of the lysosome-mTOR-TFEB pathway connecting nutrient sensing, autophagy and de novo lysosome generation. But, how lysosomes can adjust their proteolytic/hidrolytic capacity to meet varying conditions (more or less substrate) under normal fed conditions is not known. We have used AEP as a proxy to understand how lysosomes can compensate the lack of a key lysosomal protease to meet the requirements under physiological, fed conditions. To do this, we did compare cytoplasmic, membrane and nuclear fractions of WT and AEP MEFs that were expanded in SILAC media. AEP knock-out mice show pale kidney, with abnormal proliferation of the epithelial proximal tubular cells. In an attempt to understand the role of AEP in the kidney, we did compare kidney obtained from WT and AEP mice using kidneys from WT mice that were fed with SILAC food. Also, in an attempt to reproduce the changes observed in the absence of AEP in kidney and MEFs, we treated WT MEFs grown in SILAC media with MVO26630, specific inhibitor of AEP, for 12 and 48 hours.

Host response and dysfunction in the CNS during chronic simian immunodeficiency virus infection [human study]

Project description:Finding the differences in gene expression in three regions of the brai, basal ganglia, white matter, and frontal cortex, in normal, HIV infected, HIV inefected with neurocognitive impairment, and HIV infected with both neurocognitive impairment and encephalitis patients. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in normal, HIV infected, HIV inefected with neurocognitive impairment, and HIV infected with both neurocognitive impairment and encephalitis patients. Samples from three different brain regions from normal, HIV infected, HIV infected with neurocognitive impairment (HAD: HIV-associated dementia), and HIV infected with both neurocognitive impairment and encephalitis (HIVE: HIV encephalitis) patients were collected for RNA isolation and supsequent Affymetrix microarray analysis. We sought to obtain gene expression levels in different brain regions to find implication of HIV and the neurological impairment and inflammation associated with HIV infection.

TRIM9-mediated resolution of neuroinflammation confers neuroprotection against ischemic stroke in mice

Project description:Excessive and unresolved neuroinflammation is part of the pathological cascade in brain injuries such as acute ischemia, as well as neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Particularly, timely resolution of inflammation is critical for the recovery and repair after brain injury. The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling plays a central role in neuroinflammation through transcriptional induction of proinflammatory genes. Here, we report that TRIM9, a brain-specific member of the TRIpartite motif (TRIM) family with ubiquitin E3 ligase activity, is upregulated in the peri-infarct cortical areas of mouse brain upon ischemic stroke, and governs the resolution of NF-κB-mediated neuroinflammation. Mechanistically, neuronal TRIM9 sequestered β-TrCP, a component of the Skp-Cullin-F-box (SCF) E3 ligase complex, from ubiquitinating IκBα, thereby mitigating NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses including production of proinflammatory mediators and infiltration of immune cells. Consequently, Trim9 deficient mice were highly vulnerable to ischemia, manifesting uncontrolled neuroinflammation and exacerbated neuropathological and neurological outcomes. Systemic administration of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV)-PHP.B, allowing brain-wide enriched TRIM9 expression, effectively resolved neuroinflammation and alleviated neuronal death in aging mice. This reveals that TRIM9 is essential for fine tuning of NF-κB-dependent neuroinflammation, and TRIM9-potentiation based therapy may offer a new approach for the treatment of stroke and inflammation-related neurological disorders.

Evaluation of Transcriptomic Change in Late-Delayed Radiation following Fractionated Whole Brain Irradiation and High Dose Total Body Irradiation in Non-Human Primates

Project description:Fractionated whole-brain irradiation for the treatment of intracranial neoplasia causes progressive neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. The long-term consequences of high single dose brain irradiation are unknown. In order to assess the late effects of brain irradiation we have compared transcriptomic gene expression profiles from nonhuman primates (rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta) receiving single dose total body irradiation to those given fractionated whole brain radiotherapy and control comparators. Gene expression profiles from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 46), hippocampus, and deep white matter (centrum semiovale) were compared. The goals of this study were to identify novel potential molecular effects of radiation-induced brain injury, to evaluate regional differences in the cerebral radiation response, and to assess whether animals receiving high dose total body irradiation demonstrated similar transcriptomic patterns as those observed in animals receiving fractionated whole brain irradiation.
