The gene expression effects of DSG2 knockout in A431 epidermoid cell line

ABSTRACT: Desmogleins are transmembrane cadherin proteins and obligate members of the desmosome, a cell-cell adhesion complex which connects adjacent cells and provides structural integrity to tissues. While Desmogleins are well-known for their importance in maintenance of cell-cell junctions, several studies have also highlighted their role in signaling crosstalk with cell-matrix adhesions and the extracellular matrix (ECM). We have recently shown that Desmoglein-2 (Dsg2) controls cell spreading on ECM substrates (fibronectin and collagen) and phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins via Rap1 GTPase signaling. In our current study, we show that loss of Dsg2 in keratinocytes enhances the expression of ECM proteins and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), an effect that was not recapitulated upon loss of Desmocollin-2 (Dsc2) or loss of Dsg2 in other epithelial cell types. Signaling pathways well-known to control ECM function (TGF-B and Rho) were shown to have no effect on Dsg2-mediated changes in ECM and MMP gene expression, but an analysis of global transcriptome changes by RNA sequencing identified major changes in NF-kappaB (NF-KB)-mediated signaling in Dsg2-deficient cells. Interestingly, NF-KB (RelA) activation is elevated in Dsg2-deficient cells, and knockdown of RelA rescued both the enhanced expression of ECM/MMP genes and the enhanced migratory ability of Dsg2-deficient cells. Taken together, this study has identified an important link between Dsg2 and NF-KB signaling involved in controlling matrix production and remodeling, which has relevance for multiple processes in the epidermis such as wound healing and psoriasis.

AhmedMobeen2021 - NF-kB Activation Model

Project description:NF-kappaB Activation Model includes the activation of both NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB for Canonical and Non-Canonical Pathway respectively. The model includes the pathway model integrated with post-translational modifications of NF-kB subunits that regulate the NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB activity. The processes that are regulated by NF-kB pathway can be monitored through following readouts NFKB1:RELA Activity, NFKB2:RELB Activity, Degraded RelA, Degraded RelB, Degraded IkB, Degraded NIK, Apoptosis, Tumour, Antiviral Activity, B Cell Growth and Cell Migration. However, last 5 processes above are also influenced by other pathways too, therefore while making predictions, caution has to be exercised.

An epithelial Nfkb2 pathway exacerbates intestinal inflammation by supplementing latent RelA complexes to the canonical NF-kB module

Project description:The canonical NF-kB module induces nuclear translocation of RelA heterodimers from the latent cytoplasmic complexes. RelA directs inflammatory immune responses against microbial entities. However, aberrant RelA activity also triggers destructive inflammation, including those associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). What provokes this pathological RelA activity remains unclear. As such, the noncanonical NF-kB pathway activates RelB heterodimers and mediates immune organogenesis. Because NF-kB-activating pathways are interlinked, we asked if noncanonical NF-kB signaling exacerbated intestinal inflammation. Our investigation revealed recurrent engagement of the noncanonical pathway in human IBD. In a mouse model of chemical colitis, the noncanonical NF-kB signaling gene Nfkb2 aggravated inflammation by amplifying the RelA activity induced in intestinal epithelial cells. Our mechanistic studies clarified that noncanonical signaling augmented the abundance of latent RelA complexes leading to hyperactive canonical NF-kB response in the colitogenic gut. In sum, latent dimer homeostasis appears to link noncanonical NF-kB signaling to RelA-driven inflammatory pathologies.

Immune differentiation regulator p100 tunes NF-kB responses to TNF

Project description:Stringent regulation of TNF signaling prevents aberrant inflammation. TNF engages the canonical NF-kB pathway for activating the RelA:p50 heterodimer, which mediates specific expressions of pro-inflammatory and immune response genes. Importantly, the NF-kB system discriminates between time-varied TNF inputs. Negative feedback regulators of the canonical pathway, including IkBa, thought to ensure transient RelA:p50 responses to brief TNF stimulations. The noncanonical NF-kB pathway controls a separate RelB activity associated with immune differentiation. In a systems modeling approach, we uncovered an unexpected role of p100, a constituent of the noncanonical pathway, in TNF signaling. Brief TNF stimulation of p100-deficient cells produced an additional late NF-kB activity composed of the RelB:p50 heterodimer, which distorted the TNF-induced gene-expression program. Periodic TNF pulses augmented this RelB:p50 activity, which was reinforced by NF-kB-dependent RelB synthesis. In sum, the NF-kB system seems to engage distantly related molecular species for enforcing dynamical and gene controls of immune-activating TNF signaling.

Switching of the Relative Dominance Between Feedback Mechanisms in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced NF-kB Signaling

Project description:The bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) signaling, which results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), as part of the immune response. NF-kB target genes also include those encoding proteins that inhibit NF-kB signaling through negative feedback loops. By simultaneously studying the dynamics of the nuclear translocation of the NF-kB subunit RelA and the activity of a Tnf-driven reporter in a mouse macrophage cell line, Sung et al. found that the gene encoding RelA was also a target of NF-kB. Synthesis of RelA occurred only at higher concentrations of LPS and constituted a positive feedback loop that dominated over existing negative feedback mechanisms. Genes expressed in response to a high concentration of LPS were enriched for those involved in innate immune responses. Together, these data suggest that the RelA-dependent positive feedback loop enables macrophages to mount an effective immune only above a critical concentration of LPS. Bone-marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) cells were stimulated with zero, low, and high concentration of LPS separately for 4hrs. Two replicates for each condition.

Collagenolysis dependent DDR1 signaling dictates pancreatic cancer outcome

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly desmoplastic, aggressive cancer, frequently progressing and spreading by liver metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), extracellular matrix (ECM), and type I collagen (Col I) support or restrain PDAC progression and may impede blood supply and nutrient availability. The dichotomous role of the stroma in PDAC, and the mechanisms through which it influences patient survival and enables desmoplastic cancers to escape nutrient limitation remain poorly understood. Here we show that matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-cleaved or intact Col I (cCol I and iCol I, respectively) exert opposing effects on PDAC bioenergetics, macropinocytosis (MP), tumor growth and metastasis. While cCol I activates DDR1 (discoidin domain receptor-1)-NF-kB-p62-NRF2 signaling to promote PDAC growth, iCol I triggers DDR1 degradation and restrains PDAC growth. Patients whose tumors are iCol I enriched and DDR1 and NRF2 low have improved median survival compared to those with high cCol I, DDR1 and NRF2. Inhibition of DDR1-stimulated NF-kB or mitochondrial biogenesis blocked tumorigenesis in wildtype mice but not in mice expressing MMP-resistant Col I. The diverse effects of the tumor stroma on PDAC growth, metastasis, and patient survival are mediated through the Col I-DDR1-NF-kB-NRF2-mitochondrial biogenesis pathway, presenting new therapeutic opportunities.

Myeloid cell RelA/p65 promotes lung cancer proliferation

Project description:Smoking is the most important risk factor for both lung cancer (LC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of myeloid cell NF-kB in the regulation of tumor cell growth signaling. We subjected mice lacking myeloid RelA/p65 to a metastatic LC model. Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure significantly increased the proliferation of Lewis lung carcinoma cell (LLC) tumors in wild type mice. In CS exposed mice lacking myeloid RelA/p65, the tumor growth was largely inhibited. Transcriptome and pathway analysis of cancer tissue revealed a fundamental impact of myeloid cells on various growth signaling pathways. Myeloid RelA/p65 is necessary to link smoke-induced inflammation with LC growth. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Analysis of gene expression in lewis lung carcinoma cells resected from lungs of WT and RelA/p65 deficient mice exposed to smoke or air. Four different samples were analyzed (3 replicates each).

Microarray data of human leukemia cells MV4;11 with or without IKK inhibitor treatment.

Project description:MLL fusion proteins in leukemia induce aberrant transcriptional elongation and associated chromatin perturbations, however the upstream signaling pathways and activators that recruit or retain MLL oncoproteins at initiated promoters are unknown. Through functional and comparative genomic studies, we identified an essential role for NF-kB signaling in MLL leukemia. Suppression of NF-kB led to robust anti-leukemia effects that phenocopied loss of functional MLL oncoprotein or associated epigenetic cofactors. The NF-kB subunit RELA occupies promoter regions of crucial MLL target genes and sustains the MLL-dependent leukemia stem cell program. IKK/NF-kB signaling is required for wild-type MLL and fusion protein retention and maintenance of associated histone modifications providing a molecular rationale for enhanced efficacy in therapeutic targeting of this pathway in MLL leukemias. MV4;11 cells were treated with 1ÂµM IKK inhibitor or vehicle. Each group contains triplicate samples

NF-kB subunits direct kinetically distinct transcriptional cascades in antigen receptor-activated B cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:The NF-kB family of transcription factors orchestrates signal-induced gene expression in a diversity of cell types. Cellular responses to NF-kB activation are regulated at the level of cell- and signal-specificity, as well as differential use of family members (subunit specificity). Here we used time-dependent multi-omics to investigate selective functions of Rel and RelA, two closely related NF-kB proteins, in primary B lymphocytes activated via the B cell receptor. Despite large numbers of shared binding sites genome wide, Rel and RelA directed kinetically distinct cascades of gene expression in activated B cells. Single-cell RNA-Seq revealed marked heterogeneity of Rel- and RelA-specific responses and sequential binding of these factors was not a major mechanism of protracted transcription. Moreover, nuclear co-expression of Rel and RelA led to functional antagonism between the two factors. By rigorously identifying target genes of each NF-kB subunit, these studies provide insights into exclusive functions of Rel and RelA in immunity and cancer.
