Comparison of gene expression profiles in naïve WT and Asc-null bone marrow derived dendritic cells

ABSTRACT: The adaptor protein ASC contributes to innate immunity through the assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammasome complexes. We demonstrate that ASC plays an inflammasome-independent cell-intrinsic role in adaptive immune cells. Asc-/- mice displayed defective antigen presentation by dendritic cells and lymphocyte migration due to impaired Rac-mediated actin polymerization. Genome-wide analysis showed that ASC, but not Nlrp3 or caspase-1, controls mRNA stability and expression of DOCK2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that mediates Rac-dependent signaling in immune cells. DOCK2-deficient dendritic cells showed similar defective antigen uptake as Asc-/- cells. Ectopic expression of DOCK2 in ASC-deficient cells restored Rac-mediated actin polymerization, antigen uptake and chemotaxis. Thus, ASC shapes adaptive immunity independently of inflammasomes by modulating DOCK2-dependent Rac activation and F-actin polymerization in dendritic cells and lymphocytes.

ASC controls T-bet-dependent CTL differentiation and defines transplant outcome independent of the inflammasome

Project description:The adaptor protein ASC is known to facilitate caspase-1 activation essential for innate host immunity via the formation of the inflammasome complex - a multi-protein structure responsible for processing IL-1beta and IL-18 to their active moieties. Here we demonstrate that ASC-deficient CD8+ T cells fail to induce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and have impaired capacity for graft rejection and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) activity. These effects are the result of an inability to differentiate into fully cytolytic, granzyme B-expressing effector cells, with a developmental bias instead towards CD127+KLRG1- memory CD8+ T cells. These alterations in differentiation are inflammasome-independent, since GVHD lethality and CTL differentiation are not altered in recipients of caspase-1-deficient T cells. We demonstrate that ASC binds to T-bet in CD8+ T and in the absence of ASC, the binding of T-bet to the granzyme B promoter is impaired. Thus, the inhibition of ASC represents an attractive therapeutic target to manipulate transplant outcomes. Single colour, Illumina MouseRef-8 v2.0 Beadarrays.

Gene expression profiling of interferon-beta stimulated cells

Project description:Cytoplasmic DNA triggers the activation of the innate immune system. While downstream signaling components have been characterized, the DNA sensing components remain largely elusive. We performed a systematic proteomics screen for proteins that associate with DNA, traversed to a screen for IFN-β-induced transcripts. We identified DSIRE (DNA sensor for the IL-1β response, previously called AIM2) as a candidate cytoplasmic sensor. DSIRE showed a marked selectivity for double-stranded DNA. DSIRE can recruit the inflammasome adaptor ASC and gets redistributed to ASC speckles upon coexpression of ASC. RNAi-mediated reduction of DSIRE expression led to an impairment in IL-1β maturation. Reconstitution of unresponsive cells with DSIRE, ASC, caspase 1 and IL-1β showed that DSIRE is sufficient for inflammasome activation. Overall, our data strongly suggest that DSIRE is a cytoplasmic DNA sensor for the inflammasome. In a genomic screen, we used NIH3T3, L929 and RAW264.7 cells to identify genes that were transcriptionally regulated by IFN-β. We stimulated the cells with IFN-β for 4h, isolated the RNA and analyzed global changes in gene expression by microarray analysis. Overall, 225 genes were upregulated at least 3fold, among which numerous well-known interferon-induced genes were found

The inflammasome is a central player in the induction of obesity and insulin resistance

Project description:Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity. Chronic overfeeding leads to macrophage infiltration in the adipose tissue, resulting in pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Both microbial and endogenous danger signals trigger assembly of the intracellular innate immune sensor Nlrp3 [NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3] resulting in caspase-1 activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18. Here, we showed that mice deficient in Nlrp3, ASC [apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD; a.k.a PYCARD (PYD and CARD domain containing)] and caspase-1 were resistant to the development of high fat diet-induced obesity, which correlated with protection from obesity-induced insulin resistance. Detailed metabolic and molecular phenotyping demonstrated that the inflammasome controls energy expenditure and adipogenic gene expression during chronic overfeeding. These findings reveal a critical function of the inflammasome in obesity and insulin resistance and suggest inhibition of the inflammasome as a potential therapeutic strategy. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Wild-type (WT), ASC-null and Casp1-null mice were subjected to high fat diet feeding for 16 weeks. After the diet intervention period, the animals were killed and epididymal white adipose tissue was removed. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Gene expression profile in the lung of mice during pneumococcal pneumonia: WT vs NLRP3 inflammasome component-deficient mice

Project description:Inflammasomes are multiprotein platforms of caspase-1 activation. The NLRP3 inflammasome is composed of NLRP3, ASC, and procaspase-1. This inflammasome is activated by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including pneumococci, and protects from a variety of microbial pathogens. In the present study, we examined the role of NLRP3 inflammasome components in gene expression in the lung during pneumococcal pneumina.

AIM2 in regulatory T (Treg) cells restrains autoimmune diseases

Project description:The inflammasome initiates innate defense and inflammatory response by activating caspase-1 and pyroptotic cell death in myeloid cells1,2. It is comprised of an innate immune receptor/effector, pro-caspase-1 and a common adaptor molecule, ASC (apoptotic speck-containing protein with a CARD). Consistent with their pro-inflammatory function, inflammasome components including caspase-1, ASC and NLRP3, are known to exacerbate autoimmunity during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by enhancing IL-1 and IL-18 secretion in myeloid cells3-6. Here we show an unexpected function of a DNA-binding inflammasome effector, AIM2 (Absent in Melanoma 2)7-10, in restraining autoimmunity by performing EAE in both whole body and Treg-specific deletion of Aim2–/– mice. AIM2 is highly expressed by human and mouse Treg cells and it is essential to attenuate EAE. RNA-seq, biochemical and metabolic analyses revealed that AIM2 attenuates mTOR, Myc and immune-metabolic functions in both Treg cells isolated in vivo and Treg cells induced in vitro with TGF-. Importantly, we found AIM2 physically interacted with RACK1 in Treg cells to facility the PP2A/RACK1/Akt-mTOR signaling, which is identified as a central component downstream of AIM2 that controls Treg cell function and stability. While AIM2 is generally accepted as an inflammasome effector in myeloid cells, this report reveals a previously unappreciated T cell-intrinsic role of AIM2 in maintaining Treg cell function to restrain autoimmunity. This is achieved by diminishing Akt-mTOR signaling to regulate Treg stability under inflammation, and altering immune-metabolism in Treg cells.

TLR4 activation primes human macrophages for non-canonical caspase-4 inflammasome-induced extracellular vesicle secretion

Project description:Human macrophages secrete extracellular vesicles loaded with numerous immunoregulatory proteins. Here we employed high throughput quantitative proteomics to characterize the modulation of vesicle-mediated protein secretion during non-canonical caspase-4/5-dependent inflammasome activation. We show that human macrophages activate robust caspase-4- dependent extracellular vesicle secretion upon transfection of LPS, and this process is also partially dependent on NLRP-3 and caspase-5. Similar effect occurs with delivery of the LPS with E. coli-derived outer membrane vesicles. Moreover, sensitization of the macrophages through TLR4 prior to LPS transfection dramatically augments the EV-mediated protein secretion. Our data demonstrate that this process differs significantly from ATP-induced vesiculation, and is dependent on autocrine interferon signal associated with TLR4 activation. TLR4 activation preceding the non-canonical inflammasome activation significantly enhances vesicle-mediated secretion of inflammasome components caspase-1, ASC and lytic cell death effectors GSDMD, MLKL and NINJ1, suggesting that inflammatory EV transfer may exert paracrine effects in recipient cells. Moreover, using bioinformatic methods, we identify 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 and parthenolide as inhibitors of caspase-4-mediated inflammation and vesicle secretion, indicating potential new therapeutic potential of these anti-inflammatory drugs.
