Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family-mediated DNA oxidation represents a novel epigenetic modification capable of converting 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) to regulate various biological processes. However, it is unknown whether the Tet family affects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or the skeletal system. Here we show that depletion of Tet1 and Tet2 resulted in impaired self-renewal and differentiation of bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs) and a significant osteopenia phenotype. Mechanistically, Tet1 and Tet2 deficiency reduced demethylation of the P2rX7 promoter and thus downregulated exosome release, leading to intracellular accumulation of miR-297a-5p, miR-297b-5p, and miR-297c-5p. These miRNAs inhibited Runx2 signaling to impair BMMSC function. We show that overexpression of P2rX7 consistently rescued the impaired BMMSCs and osteoporotic phenotype in Tet1 and Tet2 double knockout mice. These results indicate that Tet1 and Tet2 play a critical role in maintaining BMMSC and bone homeostasis through epigenetic regulation of P2rX7 to control exosome and miRNA release. This newly identified Tet/P2rX7/Runx2 cascade may serve as a target for the development of novel therapies for osteopenia disorders.

Project description:Stressed cells release ATP, which participates in neurodegenerative processes through the specific ligation of P2RX7 purinergic receptors. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular ATP and the more specific P2RX7 agonist, 2'- and 3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP, both induce photoreceptor cell death when added to primary retinal cell cultures or when injected into the eyes from wild-type mice, but not into the eyes from P2RX7(-/-) mice. Photoreceptor cell death was accompanied by the activation of caspase-8 and -9, translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor from mitochondria to nuclei, and TUNEL-detectable chromatin fragmentation. All hallmarks of photoreceptor apoptosis were prevented by premedication or co-application of Brilliant Blue G, a selective P2RX7 antagonist that is already approved for the staining of internal limiting membranes during ocular surgery. ATP release is up-regulated by nutrient starvation in primary retinal cell cultures and seems to be an initializing event that triggers primary and/or secondary cell death via the positive feedback loop on P2RX7. Our results encourage the potential application of Brilliant Blue G as a novel neuroprotective agent in retinal diseases or similar neurodegenerative pathologies linked to excessive extracellular ATP.

Project description:Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) is a signaling molecule that affects T cell function via the ionotropic P2X7 receptor. The study of effector/memory T cells isolated from mice with deletion of P2rx7, the gene encoding for P2X7, allowed understanding the impact of P2X7 activity on T cell function in the eATP-rich tumor microenvironment. To explore the the transcriptional impact of the lack of P2rx7 in CD4+ naïve and TEM cells, we performed genome-wide expression profiling of ex vivo purified CD4+ naïve and TEM cells from WT and P2rx7-/- mice

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating and typically fatal X-linked progressive neuromuscular disorder that results in progressive muscle degeneration aggravated by sterile inflammation. The P2RX7 purinoceptor is an extracellular ATP-gated ion channel expressed in immune cells, and has been targeted in treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases. In particular, P2xr7 receptor abnormalities have been demonstrated in mdx dystrophic mice, a model for DMD lacking expression of the full length dystrophin transcript through a single point mutation in exon 23. Here, we looked at the differential effects in gene expression regulation in whole muscle in dystrophic mdx mice with or without ablation of the P2rx7 purinoceptor.

Project description:Genetic variants in the purinergic receptors P2RX4 and P2RX7 have been shown to affect susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we set out to evaluate whether rare coding variants of major effect could also be identified in these purinergic receptors. Sequencing analysis of P2RX4 and P2RX7 in 193 MS patients and 100 controls led to the identification of a rare three variant haplotype (P2RX7 rs140915863:C>T [p.T205M], P2RX7 rs201921967:A>G [p.N361S], and P2RX4 rs765866317:G>A [p.G135S]) segregating with disease in a multi-incident family with six family members diagnosed with MS (logarithm of odds = 3.07). Functional analysis of this haplotype in HEK293 cells revealed impaired P2X7 surface expression (P < 0.01), resulting in over 95% inhibition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced pore function (P < 0.001) and a marked reduction in phagocytic ability (P < 0.05). In addition, transfected cells showed 40% increased peak ATP-induced inward current (P < 0.01), and a greater Ca2+ response to the P2X4 135S variant compared with wild type (P < 0.0001). Our study nominates rare genetic variants in P2RX4 and P2RX7 as major genetic contributors to disease, further supporting a role for these purinergic receptors in MS and the disruption of transmembrane cation channels leading to impairment of phagocytosis as the pathological mechanisms of disease.

Project description:Praja2 (Pja2), a member of the growing family of mammalian RING E3 ubiquitin ligases, is reportedly involved not only in several types of cancer but also in neurological diseases and disorders. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of Pja2 regulation in the nervous system remains unclear. To study the cellular and molecular function of Pja2 in mouse hippocampal neuronal cells (MHNCs), we used gain- and loss-of-function manipulations of Pja2 in HT-22 cells and tested their regulatory effects on three Alzheimer's disease (AD) genes and cell proliferation. We found that the expression of AD markers including App, Mapt and Gsap could be inhibited by Pja2 overexpression and activated by Pja2 knockdown. In addition, HT-22 cell proliferation was enhanced by Pja2 upregulation and suppressed by its downregulation. We also applied RNA-Seq to evaluate and quantify the targets that responded to the enforced expression of Pja2. In particular, P2rx3 and P2rx7, which have different expression patterns in the critical calcium signaling pathway, were shown to mediate the regulatory effect of Pja2 in HT-22 cells. Functional studies indicated that Pja2 regulated HT-22 cell development and AD marker genes by inhibiting P2rx3 but promoting P2rx7, a gene downstream of P2rx3. In conclusion, our results provide new insights into the regulatory function of the gene Pja2 in MHNCs, underscoring the potential relevance of this molecule to the pathophysiology of AD.

Project description:Tissue-resident stem cell senescence leads to stem cell exhaustion, which is a major cause of physiological and pathological aging. Stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles(SCs-EVs) have been reported to possess therapeutic potential in preclinical studies for diverse diseases. However, whether SCs-EVs could rejuvenate senescent tissue stem cell to prevent age-related disorders still remains unknown. Here, we showed that chronic application of human embryonic stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (hESCs-sEVs) rescues senescent bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) function and prevents age-related bone loss in aging mice. Transcriptome analysis revealed that hESCs-sEVs treatment up-regulates the expression of genes involved in anti-aging, stem cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in BM-MSCs. Furthermore, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis identified 4122 proteins encapsulated in hESCs-sEVs. Bioinformatics analysis predicated that protein components in the hESCs-sEVs function in a synergistic way to induce the activation of several canonical signaling pathways, including Wnt, Sirtuin, AMPK, PTEN signaling, which results in the up-regulation of anti-aging genes in BM-MSCs and then the recovery of senescent BM-MSCs function. Collectively, our findings reveal the effect of hESCs-sEVs in reversing BM-MSCs senescence and age-related osteogenic dysfunction, and thereby preventing age-related bone loss. Given that hESCs-sEVs could alleviate senescence of tissue-resident stem cells, it might be a promising therapeutic candidate for age-related diseases.

Project description:Congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection can result in intracranial calcification, hydrocephalus and retinochoroiditis. Acquired infection is commonly associated with ocular disease. Pathology is characterized by strong proinflammatory responses. Ligation of ATP by purinergic receptor P2X(7), encoded by P2RX7, stimulates proinflammatory cytokines and can lead directly to killing of intracellular pathogens. To determine whether P2X(7) has a role in susceptibility to congenital toxoplasmosis, we examined polymorphisms at P2RX7 in 149 child/parent trios from North America. We found association (FBAT Z-scores +/-2.429; P=0.015) between the derived C(+)G(-) allele (f=0.68; OR=2.06; 95% CI: 1.14-3.75) at single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1718119 (1068T>C; Thr-348-Ala), and a second synonymous variant rs1621388 in linkage disequilibrium with it, and clinical signs of disease per se. Analysis of clinical subgroups showed no association with hydrocephalus, with effect sizes for associations with retinal disease and brain calcifications enhanced (OR=3.0-4.25; 0.004<P<0.009) when hydrocephalus was removed from the analysis. Association with toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis was replicated (FBAT Z-scores +/-3.089; P=0.002) in a small family-based study (60 families; 68 affected offspring) of acquired infection in Brazil, where the ancestral T(+) allele (f=0.296) at SNP rs1718119 was strongly protective (OR=0.27; 95% CI: 0.09-0.80).

Project description:Tissue-resident memory (Trm) CD8+ T cells mediate protective immunity in barrier tissues, but the cues promoting Trm cell generation are poorly understood. Sensing of extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) by the purinergic receptor P2RX7 is needed for recirculating CD8+ T cell memory, but its role for Trm cells is unclear. Here we showed that P2RX7 supported Trm cell generation by enhancing CD8+ T cell sensing of TGF-β, which was necessary for tissue residency. P2RX7-deficient Trm cells progressively decayed in non-lymphoid tissues and expressed dysregulated Trm-specific markers. P2RX7 was required for efficient re-expression of the receptor TGF-βRII through calcineurin signaling. Forced Tgfbr2 expression rescued P2RX7-deficient Trm cell generation, and TGF-β sensitivity was dictated by P2RX7 agonists and antagonists. Forced Tgfbr2 also rescued P2RX7-deficient Trm cell mitochondrial function. Sustained P2RX7 signaling was required for long-term Trm cell maintenance, indicating that P2RX7 signaling drives induction and CD8+ T cell durability in barrier sites.
