RNAseq data for FACS sorted glial cells KPNA4 KO mice for Importin α4 deficiency induces psychiatric disorder-related behavioral deficits and neuroinflammation in mice.

ABSTRACT: Importin α4, which is encoded by the Kpna4 gene, is a well characterized nuclear-cytoplasmic transport factor known to mediate transport of transcription factors including NF-κB. Here, we report that Kpna4 knock-out (KO) mice exhibit psychiatric disorder-related behavioral abnormalities such as anxiety-related behaviors, deceased social interaction and sensorimotor gating deficits. Contrary to a previous study predicting attenuated NF-κB activity as a result of Kpna4 deficiency, we observed a significant increase in expression levels of NF-κB genes and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, Il1β or Il-6 in the Prefrontal Cortex or Basolateral Amygdala of the KO mice. Moreover, examination of inflammatory responses in primary cells revealed that Kpna4 deficient cells have an increased inflammatory response, which was rescued by addition of not only full-length, but also a nuclear transport deficient truncation mutant of importin α4, suggesting contribution of its non-transport functions. Furthermore, RNAseq of sorted adult Microglia and Astrocytes and subsequent transcription factor analysis suggested increases in Polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) activity in Kpna4 KO cells. Taken together, importin α4 deficiency induces psychiatric disorder-related behavioral deficits in mice, along with an increased inflammatory response and possible alteration of PRC2 activity in glial cells.

Superoxide dismutase-3 downmodulates laminin α5 expression in endothelial cells via Nuclear Factor kappa B signaling inhibition

Project description:The balance between laminins containing the α5 (LAMA5) or the α4 (LAMA4) subunits is determinant for the diapedesis of different leukocyte subtypes in inflammatory conditions. We have shown that the extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) is a positive regulator of LAMA4, and this was associated with enhanced intratumor T cell infiltration in experimental and primary human cancers. Here we show that SOD3 overexpression in neoplastic or endothelial cells (ECs) downmodulates LAMA5 levels in implanted tumors. The inhibitory effect of SOD3 on LAMA5 expression occurs at the transcriptional level and is specific for SOD3, since LAMA5 levels are not changed by in SOD1-overexpressing cells. Global transcriptomic analyses revealed that SOD3 overexpression changes the transcription of 1,682 genes in ECs exposed to tumor secreted factors, being the canonical and non-canonical Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways major SOD3 targets. Indeed, SOD3 reduced the transcription of well-known NF-κB target genes as well as the NF-κB-driven promoter activity in endothelial cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, an inducer of NF-κB signaling

A pseudogene lncRNA at the interface of inflammation and anti-inflammatory therapeutics

Project description:Pseudogenes are thought to be inactive gene sequences, but recent evidence of extensive pseudogene transcription raised the question of potential function. Here we discover and characterize the sets of lncRNAs induced by inflammatory signaling via TNFα. TNFα regulates hundreds of lncRNAs, including 54 pseudogene lncRNAs, several of which show exquisitely selective expression in response to specific cytokines and microbial components in a NF-κB-dependent manner. Lethe, a pseudogene lncRNA, is selectively induced by proinflammatory cytokines via NF-κB or glucocorticoid receptor agonist, and functions in negative feedback signaling to NF-κB. Lethe interacts with NF-κB subunit RelA to inhibit RelA DNA binding and target gene activation. Lethe level decreases with organismal age, a physiological state associated with increased NF-κB activity. These findings suggest that expression of pseudogenes lncRNAs are actively regulated and constitute functional regulators of inflammatory signaling. RNA profiles of wild type (WT) MEFs treated with TNF-alpha were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Examination of H3K4me3 histome modification in MEF.

A Novel, Dynamic Pattern-based Analysis of NF-kappaB Binding During the Priming Phase of Liver Regeneration Reveals Switch-Like Functional Regulation

Project description:Following partial hepatectomy, a coordinated series of molecular events occurs to regulate hepatocyte entry into the cell cycle to recover lost mass. In rats during the first six hours following resection, hepatocytes are primed by a tightly controlled cytokine response to prepare hepatocytes to begin replication. Although it appears to be a critical element driving regeneration, the cytokine response to resection has not yet been fully characterized. Specifically, the role of one of the key response elements to cytokine signaling (NF-κB) remains incompletely characterized. In this study, we present a novel, genome-wide, pattern-based analysis characterizing NF-κB binding during the priming phase of liver regeneration. We interrogated the dynamic regulation of priming by NF-κB through categorizing NF-κB binding in different temporal profiles: immediate sustained response, early transient response, and delayed response to partial hepatectomy. We then identified functional regulation of NF-κB binding by relating the temporal response profile to differential gene expression. We found that NF-κB bound genes govern negative regulation of cell growth and inflammatory response immediately following hepatectomy. NF-κB also transiently regulates genes responsible for lipid biosynthesis and transport as well as induction of apoptosis following hepatectomy. By the end of the priming phase, NF-κB regulation of genes involved in inflammatory response, negative regulation of cell death, and extracellular structure organization became prominent. These results suggest that the immediate, transient, and delayed NF-κB signaling serve different functional transitions that drive the onset of regeneration.

A critical requirement for IκBα in controlling dormancy in Hematopoietic stem cells via retinoic acid during embryonic development [scRNA-seq_10x]

Project description:Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) originate from the E11.5 aorta-gonads-and mesonephros (AGM) region during development before they migrate to the foetal liver for proliferation and maturation, and finally seed the bone marrow around birth, their final site of residence. In the AGM, HSCs reside within Intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters (IAHC) along with hematopoietic progenitors (HPC). Molecular pathways that determine HSC fate instead of HPCs are still unknown, although inflammatory signalling has been implicated in the development of all blood cells, including NF-κB. Here, we describe a dormant phenotype of LT-HSCs in the IκBα KO. Although IκBα is critical for retaining inactive NF-κB complexes in the cytoplasm, it can regulate stem cell related genes by interacting with the PRC2 complex in the nucleus. Accordingly, we find decreased PRC2 dependent H3K27me3 accumulation at the promoters of PI3K and retinoic acid signalling molecules by cut and tag assay in AGM derived CD31+ cells, which includes HE/IAHC derived from IκBα KO embryos. Furthermore, this regulation of the retinoic acid signalling by IκBα is further confirmed by cut and tag assay for IκBα itself in CD31+ cells of the AGM and more specifically also in sorted LT-HSCs from the E14.5 foetal liver. Over-activation of the retinoic acid/PI3K levels in LT-HSCs of the IκBα KO is evident in their dormant molecular profile. Functionally, IκBα KO LT-HSCs are less proliferative and respond with delayed activation upon transplantation. Overall, we identify nuclear IκBα as an essential player specifically for HSC specification/proliferation from the onset of HSPC emergence in the AGM.

Multi-species RELA ChIP-seq of mammalian aortic endothelial cells before and after TNFα stimulation

Project description:TNFα has an evolutionary conserved role in mediating inflammation via activation of the transcription factor NF-κB. The functions of individual NF-κB binding sites are not well understood. To identify conserved and functionally important NF-κB binding sites in mammals, we performed ChIP-seq to map the genome-wide binding of RELA and select histone modifications in primary vascular endothelial cells (ECs) isolated from the aortas of human (HAEC), mouse (MAEC) and cow (BAEC), before and after TNFα. The conserved RELA binding sites show strong epigenetic changes in response to TNFα and enrich near genes controlling vascular development and pro-inflammatory responses. Our method identifies novel modes of RELA-chromatin interactions that are conserved in mammals and shared between multiple cell-types. Particularly, genomic regions bound by RELA prior to stimulation are important responders during TNFα stimulation. We use CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to validate the roles of the conserved RELA pre-bound sites near pro-inflammatory genes such as CCL2 and PLK2. Our evolutionary approach describes new aspects of mammalian NF-κB biology including its role within super-enhancers and relevance in inflammatory disorders.

Microglial NF-κB drives tau spreading and toxicity in a mouse model of tauopathy [snRNA-Seq]

Project description:Activation of microglia is a prominent pathological feature in tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease. How microglia activation contributes to tau toxicity remains largely unknown. Here we show that nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling, activated by tau, drives microglial-mediated tau propagation and toxicity. Constitutive activation of microglial NF-κB exacerbated, while inactivation diminished, tau seeding and spreading in young PS19 mice. Inhibition of NF-B activation enhanced the retention while reduced the release of internalized pathogenic tau fibrils from primary microglia and rescued microglial autophagy deficits. Remarkably, inhibition of microglial NF-κB in aged PS19 mice rescued tau-mediated learning and memory deficits, restored overall transcriptomic changes while increasing neuronal tau inclusions. Single cell RNA-seq revealed that tau-associated disease states in microglia were diminished by NF-B inactivation and further transformed by constitutive NF-B activation. Our study establishes a central role for microglial NF-B signaling in mediating tau spreading and toxicity in tauopathy.
