Effect of depletion of p38α and p38β on gene expression in naïve CD8+ T cells

ABSTRACT: p38 MAPK is activated during CD8+ T cell primary response. p38 activation promotes effector CD8+ T cell terminal differentiation but represses MPEC formation. p38α/β-deficient mice possess a similar number of virus-specific effector CD8+ T cells as wildtype counterparts. Meanwhile p38α/β deletion doesn’t influence the clearance of LCMV although it impairs the cytolytic activity of CD8+ T cells. Loss of p38α/β significantly enhances IL-2-producing Tcm accumulation in mouse spleen with no impact on total memory CD8+ T cell numbers yet. And in line with this, more robust proliferation of memory CD8+ T cells in the secondary response and stronger antigen-specific killing ability in rechallenged mice are resulted from p38α/β deficiency. These results establish a pivotal role for p38α/β in skewing MPEC formation toward SLEC differentiation, as well as in suppressing Tcm formation, and thus affecting the recall response. p38α was reported to be essential in CD8+ T cell maturation, and our mice were observed to be at loss of p38α/β expression in thymic T cells during development. So it's important to see the influence of p38α/β deletion on peripheral naive CD8+ T cells and its potential inborn impact on later events. This would help determining the exact role of p38 signaling in CD8+ T cell immune responses.

CHD7 promotes anti-viral short-lived effector CD8+ T cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:CD8+ T cells differentiate into two subpopulations in response to acute viral infection: memory precursor effector cells (MPECs) and short-lived effector cells (SLECs). MPECs and SLECs are epigenetically distinct; however, the epigenetic regulators required for formation of these subpopulations are mostly unknown. Here we performed an in vivo CRISPR screen in murine naive CD8+ T cells to identify the epigenetic regulators required for MPEC and SLEC formation, using the acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) Armstrong infection model. We identified the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding-protein-7 (CHD7) as a positive regulator of SLEC formation, as knockout (KO) of Chd7 reduced SLECs numerically. In contrast, KO of Chd7 increased the formation of central memory T cells following pathogen clearance yet attenuated memory cell expansion following a rechallenge. These findings establish CHD7 as a novel positive regulator of SLEC and negative regulator of central memory T cell formation.

P38α Regulates Expression of DUX4 in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Project description:Here, we describe the identification and characterization of p38α as a novel regulator of DUX4 expression in FSHD myotubes. By using multiple highly characterized, potent and specific inhibitors of p38α/β, we show a robust reduction of DUX4 expression, activity and cell death across FSHD1 and FSHD2 patient-derived lines. RNA-seq profiling reveals that a small number of genes are differentially expressed upon p38α/β inhibition, the vast majority of which are DUX4 target genes. Our results reveal a novel and apparently critical role for p38α in the aberrant activation of DUX4 in FSHD and support the potential of p38α/β inhibitors as effective therapeutics to treat FSHD at its root cause.

Regulation of tumor angiogenesis and mesenchymal–endothelial transition by p38α through TGF-β and JNK signaling

Project description:The formation of new blood vessels is essential for normal development, tissue repair and tumor growth. Here we show that inhibition of the kinase p38α enhances angiogenesis in human and mouse colon tumors. Mesenchymal cells can contribute to tumor angiogenesis by regulating proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. We show that p38α negatively regulates an angiogenic program in mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), multipotent progenitors found in perivascular locations. This program includes the acquisition of an endothelial phenotype by MSCs mediated by both TGF-β and JNK, and negatively regulated by p38α. Abrogation of p38α in mesenchymal cells increases tumorigenesis, which correlates with enhanced angiogenesis. Using genetic models, we show that p38α regulates the acquisition of an endothelial-like phenotype by mesenchymal cells in colon tumors and damage tissue. Taken together, our results indicate that p38α in mesenchymal cells restrains a TGF-β-induced angiogenesis program including their ability to transdifferentiate into endothelial cells.

Expression and functional validation of new p38α transcriptional targets in tumorigenesis

Project description:p38α MAP kinase plays an important tumor suppressor role, which is mediated by both its negative effect on cell proliferation and its pro-apoptotic activity. Surprisingly, most tumor suppressor mechanisms coordinated by p38α have been reported to occur at the post- translational level. This contrasts with the important role of p38α in the regulation of transcription and the profound changes in gene expression that normally occur during tumorigenesis. We have analyzed whole genome expression profiles of Ras-transformed wild- type and p38α-deficient cells and have identified 202 genes that are potentially regulated by p38α in transformed cells. Expression analysis has confirmed the regulation of these genes by p38α in tumors, and functional validation has identified several of them as likely mediators of the tumor suppressor effect of p38α on Ras-induced transformation. Interestingly, about 10% of the genes that are negatively regulated by p38α in transformed cells contribute to EGF receptor signalling. Our results suggest that inhibition of EGF receptor signalling by transcriptional targets of p38α is an important function of this signalling pathway in the context of tumor suppression. We have investigated how transcriptional regulation contributes to the tumor suppressor effect of p38α, by comparing whole-genome expression profiles of wild-type (WT) and p38α- deficient (p38α-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) expressing oncogenic H-RasG12V

Role of P38α in stress erythropoiesis

Project description:The P38α modulates proliferation, survival and differentiation of different kinds of celll. Here, we demonstrate that loss of P38α accelerates recovery from anemia in mice by promoting survival of erythroblasts. To identify gene expression changes in P38α+/- versus P38α-/- erythroblasts, we sorted erythroblasts from P38α+/- and P38α-/- mice during recovery from anemia and performed microarray analysis.

Expression data from LCMV-infected P14 and Akt transgenic P14 CD8 T cells

Project description:The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway impacts various aspects of CD8 T cell homeostasis, such as effect versus memory cell differentiation, during viral infection. We used microarrays to determine which downstream molecules were affected and what other signaling pathways were interconnected with the Akt pathway by constitutive activation of Akt in LCMV-infected CD8 T cells. Splenocytes from naive P14/WT or P14/Akt mice were stained with anti-CD8 and anti-Ly5.1, and CD8 T cells were sorted using a FACSAria II instrument. Purified Ly5.1+ CD8 T cells from P14/WT or P14/Akt mice were transferred into B6 mice, which were subsequently infected with LCMV Armstrong. At day 8 post infection, splenocytes were stained with anti-CD8, anti-Ly5.1, anti-KLRG1, and anti-CD127. Following staining, short-lived effector cells (SLECs) and memory precursor effector cells (MPECs) were sorted using the FACSAria II instrument; the purity of the sorted cells was >95%. A total of 5 samples were analyzed, including WT naive, WT SLEC, WT MPEC, Akt naive and Akt SLEC.

Differential modulation of the phosphoproteome by the MAP Kinases isoforms p38α and p38β

Project description:The stress-activated p38 mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) mediate responses to osmotic shock, radiation, immune stimuli, inflammatory cues, and many other stresses. These kinases are activated rapidly, within seconds of stress induction, yet, their continuous activation, as commonly happens in inflammations and cancer, induce different signaling cascades than transient activation. This study aimed to follow the specific signaling cascades induced by two of these p38 MAPKs activated by strong and rapid stress, or by continuous (chronic) activations. The analysis was based on large-scale proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses using SILAC labeling of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) deficient in each of these p38 kinases, expressing constitutively expressed wildtype p38α or p38β, or their intrinsically active variants. In addition, the effects of anisomycin, inducing strong and rapid stress response, were followed in wildtype MEF or in MEF knocked-out for these p38α or p38β. The signaling events, induced the each p38 during the chronic responses, indicated adaptations of the cells expressing the intrinsically active p38 mutants. The continuous activities of the individual p38 induced feedback loops that inactivated the other p38s. Furthermore, a number of new phosphorylation sites on proteins relevant to stress responses and cancer, such as p53 and p27, were revealed in this study.

The TAB1-p38α complex aggravates myocardial injury and can be targeted by small molecules

Project description:There is considerable evidence that inhibition of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase diminishes cardiac damage during myocardial ischemia. During myocardial ischemia p38α interacts with TAB1, a scaffold protein, which promotes p38α autoactivation; active p38α (pp38α) then trans-phosphorylates TAB1. Previously, we solved the X-ray structure of the p38α-TAB1(384-412) complex. Here we further characterize the interaction by resolving the structure of the pp38α-TAB1(1-438) complex in the active state. Based on this information we created a global knock-in mouse with substitution of four residues on TAB1 (V390A, Y392A, V408G, M409A) we show are required for docking onto p38α. Whereas ablating p38α or TAB1 results in early embryonal lethality, the TAB1 KI mice are viable, develop normally and have no appreciable alteration in their lymphocyte repertoire or myocardial transcriptional profile. Nonetheless, following in vivo regional myocardial ischemia, infarction volume is significantly reduced and the trans- phosphorylation of TAB1 is disabled. Unexpectedly, the activation of myocardial p38α during ischemia is only mildly attenuated in TAB1 KI hearts, an effect most likely due to the removal of the steric hindrance to MAP2K3 binding. We conclude that it is the phosphorylation of TAB1 by pp38α during ischemia that is associated with cardiac damage. The data reveal that it is possible to selectively inhibit signalling downstream of p38α to attenuate ischemic injury. Our findings validate the p38α-TAB1 complex as a therapeutic target that may circumvent the toxicity associated with ATP-competitive inhibitors of p38α.
