Project description:Tripartite resistance nodulation and cell division multidrug efflux pumps span the periplasm and are major drivers of multidrug resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. Cations, such as Mg2+, become concentrated within the periplasm and, in contrast to the cytoplasm, it’s pH is sensitive to conditions outside the cell. Here, we reveal an interplay between Mg2+ and pH in modulating the structural dynamics of the periplasmic adaptor protein, AcrA, and its function within the prototypical AcrAB-TolC multidrug pump from Escherichia coli. In the absence of Mg2+, AcrA becomes increasingly plastic within acidic conditions, but when Mg2+ is bound this is ameliorated, resulting instead in domain specific organisation. We establish a unique histidine residue directs these dynamics and is essential for sustaining pump activity across acidic, neutral, and basic regimes. Overall, we propose Mg2+ conserves AcrA structural mobility to ensure optimal AcrAB-TolC function within rapid changing environments commonly faced during bacterial infection and colonization.

Project description:TRPM7 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7) is a chanzyme with channel and kinase domains essential for embryo development. Using gamete-specific Trpm7-null lines, we report that TRPM7-mediated Mg2+ influx is indispensable for reaching the blastocyst stage. TRPM7 was expressed dynamically from gametes to blastocysts, displaying stage-specific and distinct localizations on the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and undergoes cleavage that produces C- terminal kinase fragments. TRPM7 underpinned Mg2+ homeostasis throughout this time, and excess Mg2+ but not Zn2+ or Ca2+ overcame the arrest of Trpm7-null embryos; expressing Trpm7 mRNA restored development, but mutant versions failed or were less effective. Transcriptomic analyses of embryos lacking Trpm7 revealed an abundance of oxidative stress-pathway genes, confirmed by mitochondrial dysfunction, and a reduction of transcription factor networks essential for proliferation; Mg2+ supplementation corrected these defects. Hence, TRPM7 underpins Mg2+ homeostasis in preimplantation embryos, prevents oxidative stress, and promotes gene expression patterns necessary for developmental progression and cell lineage specification.

Project description:Adipocyte hypertrophy during obesity triggers chronic inflammation, leading to metabolic disorders. However, the role of adipocyte-specific inflammatory signalling in metabolic syndrome remains unclear. The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex, LUBAC, is an E3-ligase that generates non-degradative linear ubiquitination (Lin-Ub). LUBAC regulates NF-κB/MAPK-driven inflammation and prevents cell death triggered by immune receptors like TNF-receptor-1. Here we show that mice lacking HOIP, LUBAC’s catalytic subunit, in adipocytes (HoipA-KO) display lipodystrophy and heightened susceptibility to obesity-induced metabolic syndrome, particularly Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). Mechanistically, loss of HOIP attenuates TNF-induced NF-κB activation and promotes cell death in human adipocytes. Inhibiting caspase-8-mediated cell death is sufficient to prevent lipodystrophy and MASLD in HoipA-KO obese mice. Importantly, HOIP expression in adipose tissue positively correlates with metabolic fitness in obese individuals. Overall, our findings reveal a fundamental developmental role for Lin-Ub in adipocytes by mitigating cell death-driven adipose tissue inflammation and protecting against obesity-related metabolic

Project description:Background: Lymphotoxin signaling via the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) has been implicated in several biological processes, ranging from development of secondary lymphoid organs, maintenance of splenic tissue, host defense against pathogens, autoimmunity, and lipid homeostasis. The major transcription factor that is activated by LTβR crosslinking is NF-κB. Two signaling pathways have been described that result in the activation of classical p50-RelA and alternative p52-RelB NF-κB heterodimers. Results: Using microarray analysis, we investigated the transcriptional response downstream of the LTβR in mouse embryoni fibroblasts (MEF) and its regulation by the RelA and RelB subunits of NF-κB. We describe novel LTβR-responsive genes that are regulated by RelA and/or RelB. Interestingly, we found that the majority of LTβR-regulated genes require the presence of both RelA and RelB, suggesting significant crosstalk between the two NF-κB activation pathways. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis confirmed that LTβR-NF-κB target genes are predominantly involved in the regulation of immune responses. However, other biological processes, such as apoptosis/cell death, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and taxis were also regulated by LTβR signaling. Moreover, we show that activation of the LTβR inhibits the expression of a key adipogenic transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (pparg), suggesting that LTβR signaling may interfere with adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions: Thus, microarray analysis of LTβR-stimulated fibroblasts revealed further insight into the transcriptional response of LTβR signaling and its regulation by the NF-κB family members RelA and RelB. Keywords: cell type comparison (wt vs relA-/- vs relB-/-) after genetic modification using a time course for each cell type (wt, relA-/-, relB-/-) two time points were analysed (0h as control and 10h) using 3 technical replicates resulting in 18 samples in total

Project description:Although therapy responsiveness to therapy in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is high, relapsed disease and and chemoresistance remain a clinical challenge, and complete mechanisms underlying BL chemoresistance and how it can be circumvented is yet to be fully elucidated. In this study we present data showing that chymotrypsin-like serine proteases inhibitor Nα-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethylketone (TPCK) and specific NF-κB inhibitor Bay-11 7082 can induce caspase-independent apoptosis in chemoresistant BL cells. We also demonstrate that both TPCK and Bay-11 7082-treatment leads to decreased NF-κB nuclear activity and that this is associated with sensitization of chemoresistant Burkitt lymphoma cells. Furthermore we investigated global transcriptional changes induced by Bay-11 7082 and TPCK in the DG-75 and Raji cell lines, respectively, by microarray analysis using Illumina BeadChips. TPCK-treatment of Raji and DG-75 cells resulted in 59 and 21 differently expressed genes, respectively, while Bay-11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells displayed 1403 and 8 differently expressed genes, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) categorization confirmed enrichment of multiple GOs in Bay 11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells. Fifty percent of the 61 categories in Raji cells were categories sorting under Biological Processes and represented mostly increased gene expression. In DG-75 cells Bay-11 7082 induced significant gene ontology enrichment in only two categories, where the increased/decreased ratio was 1:1. Further unsupervised and supervised bioinformatics processing by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated significant networks in response to TPCK and Bay 11 respectively, including association to NF-κB. Bay-11 7082 demonstrated deregulated NF-κB related members of receptor mediated cell death signaling, i.e TRAF2 and TRADD, as well as deregulated members of the NF-κB signaling pathway from the cytoplasmic compartment, i.e RELB, in Raji cells. Comparably NF-κB network analysis of Raji- and DG-75 cells treated with Bay-11 7082 and Raji cells treated with TPCK demonstrated deregulation of NF-κB target genes CD69 and IL8. These data indicates that NF-kB may play a role in overcoming chemoresistance in BL cells with defective classical apoptosis signaling.

Abstract:
This study explores the dilemma in cellular signaling that triggering of CD95 (Fas/APO-1) in some situations results in cell death and in others leads to the activation of NF-κB. We established an integrated kinetic mathematical model for CD95-mediated apoptotic and NF-κB signaling. Systematic model reduction resulted in a surprisingly simple model well approximating experimentally observed dynamics. The model postulates a new link between c-FLIPL cleavage in the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and the NF-κB pathway. We validated experimentally that CD95 stimulation resulted in an interaction of p43-FLIP with the IKK complex followed by its activation. Furthermore, we showed that the apoptotic and NF-κB pathways diverge already at the DISC. Model and experimental analysis of DISC formation showed that a subtle balance of c-FLIPL and procaspase-8 determines life/death decisions in a nonlinear manner. We present an integrated model describing the complex dynamics of CD95-mediated apoptosis and NF-κB signaling.

Project description:The intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila causes an inflammatory pneumonia called Legionnaires’ Disease. For virulence, L. pneumophila requires a Dot/Icm type IV secretion system that translocates bacterial effectors to the host cytosol. L. pneumophila lacking the Dot/Icm system is recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs), leading to a canonical NF-κB-dependent transcriptional response. In addition, L. pneumophila expressing a functional Dot/Icm system potently induces unique transcriptional targets, including proinflammatory genes such as Il23a and Csf2. Here we demonstrate that this Dot/Icm-dependent response, which we term the effector-triggered response (ETR), requires five translocated bacterial effectors that inhibit host protein synthesis. Upon infection of macrophages with virulent L. pneumophila, these five effectors caused a global decrease in host translation, thereby preventing synthesis of IκB, an inhibitor of the NF-κB transcription factor. Thus, macrophages infected with wildtype L. pneumophila exhibited prolonged activation of NF-κB, which was associated with transcription of ETR target genes such as Il23a and Csf2. L. pneumophila mutants lacking the five effectors still activated TLRs and NF-κB, but because the mutants permitted normal IκB synthesis, NF-κB activation was more transient and was not sufficient to fully induce the ETR. L. pneumophila mutants expressing enzymatically inactive effectors were also unable to fully induce the ETR, whereas multiple compounds or bacterial toxins that inhibit host protein synthesis via distinct mechanisms recapitulated the ETR when administered with TLR ligands. Previous studies have demonstrated that the host response to bacterial infection is induced primarily by specific microbial molecules that activate TLRs or cytosolic pattern recognition receptors. Our results add to this model by providing a striking illustration of how the host immune response to a virulent pathogen can also be shaped by pathogen-encoded activities, such as inhibition of host protein synthesis. Three-condition experiment: macrophages left uninfected (negative control), or infected with wildtype Legionella pneumophila, or the mutant Δ5, which lacks five bacterial effectors involved in inhibition of host protein synthesis (lgt1, lgt2, lgt3, sidI, sidL) (two experimental conditions). Biological replicates: two, independently infected, harvested, and hybridized to arrays. One technical replicate per array.
