Project description:Proper regulation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcriptional activity is required for normal lymphocyte function, and deregulated NF-κB signaling can facilitate lymphomagenesis. We demonstrate that the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein created by the recurrent t(11;18)(q21;q21) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma induces proteolytic cleavage of NF-κB–inducing kinase (NIK) at arginine 325. NIK cleavage requires the concerted actions of both fusion partners and generates a C-terminal NIK fragment that retains kinase activity and is resistant to proteasomal degradation. The resulting deregulated NIK activity is associated with constitutive noncanonical NF-κB signaling, enhanced B cell adhesion, and apoptosis resistance. Our study reveals the gain-of-function proteolytic activity of a fusion oncoprotein and highlights the importance of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in B lymphoproliferative disease. This study compares nine t(11;18)-positive MALT lymphomas (8 from the stomach and 1 from lung) and eight translocation negative MALT lymphomas (all from the stomach) using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). All cases were subjected to Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarray analysis. The cases used in this study are the same cases used for the study by Hamoudi et al. (2010) entitled "Differential expression of NF-kB target genes in MALT lymphoma with and without chromosome translocation: insights into molecular mechanism" with GEO reference number: GSE18736 and PubMed ID: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20520640 All cases were subjected to non-specific filtering to eliminate non-variant probes, then the U133A and U133B probes were collapsed and the collapsed set was subjected to GSEA using the NF-kB target gene set as described in Hamoudi et al. (2010) study mentioned above. The 34 samples in this study are identical to the ones done in the previous series except that the gene set enrichment was done on just those 34 samples and not the complete set.

Project description:The NF-κB pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome. While canonical NF-κB signaling is well studied, there is little information on the divergent non-canonical NF-κB pathway in the context of pancreatic islet dysfunction in diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that pharmacological activation of the non-canonical NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo. Further, we identify NIK as a critical negative regulator of beta cell function as pharmacological NIK activation results in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets. NIK levels are elevated in pancreatic islets isolated from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, which exhibit increased processing of non-canonical NF-κB components p100 to p52, and accumulation of RelB. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), two ligands associated with diabetes, induce NIK in islets. Mice with constitutive beta cell intrinsic NIK activation present impaired insulin secretion with DIO. NIK activation triggers the non-canonical NF-κB transcriptional network to induce genes identified in human type 2 diabetes genome-wide association studies linked to beta cell failure. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in diet-induced obesity. We identify a role for Nuclear Factor inducing κB (NIK) in pancreatic beta cell failure. NIK activation disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo and impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets in vitro. NIK activation also perturbs beta cell insulin secretion in a diet-induced obesity mouse model. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in obesity. To uncover the role of NIK in pancreatic beta cells, we performed a gene expression microarray analysis comparing pancreatic islets with constitutive beta cell intrinsicNIK activation from the 16 week old mice (beta cell specific TRAF2 and TRAF2 knockout mice) to their controls (n=3 per group).

Project description:This study sought to evaluate the diffferential gene expression following the conditional knockout of either the canonical (p65) or non-canonical (NIK) NF-κB signaling pathway in myeloid (LysMCre) or intestinal epithelial (VillinCre) cell deletions in a murine model. Genetic susceptibility to colitis-associated colorectal cancer via the chemical induction of AOM/DSS was evaluated on colonic lesion (LT) and healthy tissue (HT) using microarray to assess implicated genes/pathways downstream of NF-kappaB. Abstract from associated publication: Dysregulation of intestinal epithelial cell proliferation is a critical feature in the development of colorectal cancer. This malignancy is typically driven by loss of stem cell regulation in the crypts. Here, we show that NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) attenuates colorectal cancer through the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell regeneration and differentiation mediated by noncanonical NF-κB signaling. We observed increased tumor burden in mice lacking NIK either systemically or specifically in intestinal epithelial cells in a model of inflammation-induced tumorigenesis in the colon. Mechanistic studies using crypts and organoids revealed that loss of NIK results in the accumulation of mature, non-dividing colonic epithelial cells, which are more susceptible to mutations and eventual transformation. These findings are consistent with our observations in human colorectal cancer patients revealing a significant decrease in NIK and noncanonical NF-κB signaling. Our work extends previous findings for NIK in attenuating sepsis and gastrointestinal inflammation and defines a critical role for this kinase in colorectal cancer.

Project description:NF-κB-Inducing Kinase (NIK), which is essential for the activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway, regulates diverse processes in immunity, development, and disease. While recent studies have elucidated important functions of NIK in adaptive immune cells and cancer cell metabolism, the role of NIK in metabolic-driven inflammatory responses in innate immune cells remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that NIK-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages exhibit defects in mitochondrial-dependent metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) functions that impair acquisition of a pro-repair, anti-inflammatory phenotype. Subsequently, NIK-deficient mice exhibit skewing of myeloid cells characterized by aberrant eosinophil, monocyte, and macrophage cell populations in the blood, bone marrow, and adipose tissue. Furthermore, NIK-deficient blood monocytes display hyperresponsiveness to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and elevated TNFα production ex vivo, indicative of systemic inflammation. These findings suggest that NIK is required for the metabolic rewiring of mitochondrial respiration that is critical for balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory myeloid immune cell functions. Overall, our work highlights a previously unrecognized role for NIK as a molecular rheostat that fine-tunes immunometabolism in innate immunity and suggests that metabolic dysfunction may be an important driver of inflammatory diseases caused by aberrant NIK expression or activity.

Project description:Metabolic reprograming towards aerobic glycolysis is a pivotal mechanism that shapes immune responses. While deregulated T cell metabolism is associated with autoimmune diseases, metabolic deficiency contributes to T cell exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Here we describe a posttranslational mechanism of glycolysis regulation mediated by the NF-kB-inducing kinase (NIK). NIK deficiency impairs glycolysis induction, rendering CD8 effector T cells hypofunctional with features of exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Conversely, ectopic expression of NIK promotes CD8 T cell metabolism and prevents exhaustion, thereby profoundly enhancing antitumor immunity and improving the efficacy of T cell adoptive therapy. Interestingly, although NIK is known as a kinase mediating activation of noncanonical NF-kB, NIK regulates T cell metabolism via an NF-kB-independent mechanism that involves stabilization of hexokinase 2 (HK2), a rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. NIK deficiency causes autophagic degradation of HK2, at least in part due to aberrant ROS accumulation. NIK phosphorylates, and maintains the activity of, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), an enzyme mediating production of the antioxidant NADPH required for preventing ROS accumulation and oxidative stress. We provide genetic evidence that the G6PD-NADPH redox system has a vital role in regulating HK2 stability and metabolism in activated T cells. These findings establish NIK as a pivotal regulator of T cell metabolism and highlight a posttranslational mechanism of metabolic regulation involving the G6PD-NADPH redox system.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often considered a disease driven by autoreactive B cells and anti-nuclear antibodies. However, therapeutic targeting of B cells, for example through BAFF blockade, has been only partially effective in SLE. NF-κB Inducing Kinase (NIK) mediates non-canonical NF-κB signaling downstream of disease relevant TNF family members, such as BAFF, TWEAK, CD40, and OX40. We hypothesized that NIK inhibition might be more efficacious than BAFF blockade in lupus, and therefore generated highly selective and potent small molecule inhibitors (SMI) of NIK to test this hypothesis. RNASeq was used to investigate the effects of one of these SMIs of NIK, NIK SMI1, on TWEAK-stimulated Mouse renal proximal tubule-interstitial epithelial cells (RPTEC).

Project description:MALT lymphoma is characterized by t(11;18)(q21;q21)/API2-MALT1, t(1;14)(p22;q32)/BCL10-IGH and t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1, which commonly activate the NF-κB pathway. Gastric MALT lymphomas harboring such translocation do not respond to H. pylori eradication, while those without translocation can be cured by antibiotics. To understand the molecular mechanism of these different MALT lymphoma subgroups, we performed gene expression profiling analysis of 24 MALT lymphomas (15 translocation-positive, 9 translocation-negative). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the NF-κB target genes and 4394 additional gene sets covering various cellular pathways, biological processes and molecular functions showed that translocation-positive MALT lymphomas are characterized by an enhanced expression of NF-κB target genes, particularly TLR6, CCR2, CD69 and BCL2, while translocation-negative cases were featured by active inflammatory and immune responses, such as IL8, CD86, CD28 and ICOS. Separate analyses of the genes differentially expressed between translocation-positive and negative cases and measurement of gene ontology term in these differentially expressed genes by hypergeometric test reinforced the above findings by GSEA. Finally, expression of TLR6, in the presence of TLR2, enhanced both API2-MALT1 and BCL10 mediated NF-κB activation in vitro. Our findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism of MALT lymphomas with and without translocation, potentially explaining their different clinical behaviors. This study compares MALT with other lymphomas namely follicular and mantle cell lymphomas, and investigates the molecular mechanisms of the lymphomagenesis between translocation positive versus negative MALT lymphoma cases in order to derive the pathways leading to MALT lymphoma pathogenesis using GSEA, GO, dynamic pathway analysis as well as other bioinformatics analysis. Samples were run on the Affymetrix HG-U133A and HG-U133 plus2 GeneChips.
