Repeats Mimic Pathogen-Associated Patterns Across a Vast Evolutionary Landscape [RIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: An emerging hallmark of many human diseases is transcription of typically silenced repetitive DNA containing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). These PAMPs engage the innate immune system via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – a phenomenon known as “viral mimicry.” We propose a statistical physics framework to quantify viral mimicry by measuring “selective forces” that enrich PAMPs compared to a genome-wide reference distribution. We validate our predictions by identifying repeats that bind different PRRs and show viral mimicry in different repeat families across eukaryotic genomes, suggesting shared mechanisms drive emergence and retention. We propose two non-exclusive evolutionary hypotheses. The first ‘repeat-centric’ hypothesis posits PAMPs are integral to the repeat lifecycle and are therefore enriched as they mediate repeat expansion. The second ‘organism-centric’ hypothesis proposes viral mimicry functions as a cell-intrinsic feedback mechanism for sensing and reacting to transcriptional dysregulation, which provides a selective pressure to maintain PAMPs in genomes.

LINE-1 ORF1p immune evasion mechanisms in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Repeat element viral mimicry is a common feature in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that require mechanisms to manage this repeat “viral” load and attenuate innate immune responses. Here, we show that the LINE-1 ORF1 protein (ORF1p) in PDAC cells plays a role in shielding repeat RNAs from activating a pathogen recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated antiviral response that is independent of retrotransposition. Suppression of ORF1p using short hairpin RNA induces innate immune responses through the dsRNA sensors RIG-I and MAVS. Low ORF1p PDAC cell lines have suppressed expression of PRRs demonstrating convergent mechanisms to suppress innate immune signaling. Localization of ORF1p in processing bodies (P-bodies) with the dsRNA helicase MOV10 were found important for these antiviral responses. Loss of ORF1p resulted in significant growth reduction in tumorspheres and mouse xenografts with an enriched epithelial cell state, and high ORF1p expression was associated with worsened survival in a cohort of human PDAC patients.

Genome-wide analysis of poly(I:C)-responsive gene expression by primary human keratinocytes with and without episomal human papillomavirus

Project description:Analysis of the effect of high-risk human papillomaviruses HPV16 and HPV18 in keratinocytes at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that HPVs inhibit the function of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), thereby evading the immune system. Results show that HPV-positive keratinocytes have a weaker response to poly(I:C), a synthetic double strand RNA agonist of viral PRRs, with IL1B as a central hub in a gene expression network of relative downregulation. Total RNA from eight primary undifferentiated keratinocyte cultures, four uninfected and four HPV-positive, that were either left unstimulated, or stimulated for 4 or 24 hrs with 25 ug/ml poly(I:C).

Function of Arabidopsis PUB2 and PUB4 in plant immunity

Project description:Plants recognize and respond to pathogens relying on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which usually are receptor like kinases (RLKs) or receptor like proteins (RLPs). Upon binding to conserved structures or molecules, the so-called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), in pathogens, PRRs form complex with coreceptors and activate pattern triggered immunity (PTI). Here, we show that two U-box type E3 ligases (PUBs), PUB2 and PUB4, play important roles in PTI responses and disease resistance in Arabidopsis.

Proteome and secretome analysis reveals differential post-transcriptional regulation of Toll-like receptor responses

Project description:The innate immune system is the organism’s first line of defense against pathogens. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are responsible for sensing the presence of pathogen-associated molecules. The prototypic PRRs, the membrane-bound receptors of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate an innate immune response through signaling pathways that depend on the adaptor molecules MyD88 and TRIF. Deciphering the differences in the complex signaling events that lead to pathogen recognition and initiation of the correct response remains challenging. Here we report the discovery of temporal changes in the protein signaling components involved in innate immunity. Using an integrated strategy combining unbiased proteomics, transcriptomics and macrophage stimulations with three different PAMPs, we identified differences in signaling between individual TLRs and revealed specifics of pathway regulation at the protein level.

Deciphering how viral epitranscriptome shapes host immune response 1

Project description:As early as 24 hours after RNA virus infection, up to 25% of all RNA molecules present in host cells are pathogenic viral RNA (vRNA), i.e. viral messenger RNA (vmRNA), viral genomic RNA (vgRNA), and double stranded replication intermediates (dsRNA). To prevent such a takeover of the host metabolism, the innate immune system of the infected organism must detect threat as soon as possible. When considering RNA viruses recognition, activation of timely proper immune response capable of sensing and neutralizing viral genetic material is crucial for cell survival. Viral nucleic acids are one of the strongest pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), molecules causing particular immune system reactions. Human cells are armed with a variety of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) responsible for PAMPs recognition. The main factors responsible for detecting foreign nucleic acids in mammalian cells have already been identified. For activation of any RNA sensor, detecting an abnormal molecular RNA pattern, not present under normal conditions, is obligatory. These patterns may be some chemical modification of RNA, or the absence of such one, specific secondary or tertiary RNA structure, particular sequence, or dsRNA that can derive from viral genome as it is in the case of dsRNA viruses or from annealed complementary RNA strands, which are generated as RNA virus replication intermediates. However, yet there is still very limited understanding of how different epitranscriptomic marks modulate host immune response. Therefore, we will attempt to comprehensively understand how chemical modifications of viral RNA influence its immunogenic potential and stability in infected cells. Moreover, we will study how epitranscriptomic marks deposited on viral RNAs shield transcripts from being recognized by host antiviral factors.

TMT-based quantitative membrane proteomics reveals in-depth investigation of PRRs involved in the perception of MSP1 in rice leaves

Project description:Pathogen secreted pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) play a key role in PAMPs triggered immunity (PTI) in plant for the recognition of pathogens. In rice, fewer PAMPs and their pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) have been characterized during rice-Magnaporthe oryzae interaction. Particularly, recent study was identified M. oryzae snodprot1 homolog known as MSP1, however, the molecular mechanism of MSP1 induced PTI is currently elusive. Therefore, we were generated the MSP1 overexpressed transgenic rice with their subcellular localization in the apoplastic (with signal sequence) and cytoplasmic (without signal sequence) regions, respectively, to examine the functional role of MSP1 in rice. Here, we employed a tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative membrane proteomic analysis to decipher the potential interaction PRRs and MSP1-induced downstream signaling. This approach led to the identification of 8,033 proteins and sequential statistical analysis were identified 2,226 differentially modulated proteins. Of these, 20 plasma membrane localized receptor like kinases (RLKs) with the increased abundance in response to MSP1. Moreover, activation of proteins related to the protein degradation and modification, calcium signaling, transcription factor, redox, and MAPK signaling were characterized. Taken together, our results indicated that potential PRR candidates involved in response to blast disease and thus suggesting the overview mechanism of the MSP1-induced signaling in rice leaves.

Inhibiting EZH2 Targets Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor by Triggering Viral Mimicry via Both RNA and DNA Sensing Pathways [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Loss of function mutations in SMARCB1 are prevalent in pediatric atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) and confer an oncogenic dependency on EZH2, providing a compelling rationale for treating these genetically defined cancers via EZH2 inhibition (EZH2i). EZH2i results in tumor regression in SMARCB1-deficient tumors in preclinical studies, but the molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here we found that the sensitivity of SMARCB1-deficient tumors to EZH2i is associated with the viral mimicry response that depends on both double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and cytoplasmic DNA sensing pathways. Unlike other epigenetic therapies targeting transcriptional repressors, viral mimicry by EZH2i in SMARCB1-deficient tumors is not triggered by crypt initiation of endogenous retroelements, but rather mediated by increased expression of genes enriched for intronic inverted-repeat Alu (IR-Alu) elements. Interestingly, we found that interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) are highly enriched for dsRNA-forming intronic IR-Alu elements, suggesting a positive feedback loop whereby interferon response leads to dsRNA formation from intronic ISGs and activation of viral mimicry. Moreover, EZH2i in ATRT cells also enhances the expression of full-length LINE-1 elements, leading to genomic instability and cGAS/STING response in a process dependent on reverse transcriptase activity. Supporting this mechanism, co-depletion of dsRNA sensing and cytoplasmic DNA sensing completely rescues the viral mimicry response to EZH2i in SMARCB1-deficient tumors.
