H3 citrullination cross-talk within the histone code

ABSTRACT: Post translational modifications (PTMs) alter protein structure and function, thus impacting cellular dynamics. As an understudied protein post translational modification (PTM), positively charged arginine is converted to neutral citrulline (Rcit) by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes, with no known means of reversal. The PTM is particularly extensive in NETosis, a form of neutrophil programmed cell death with an extensive citrullinome characterized by Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). Here the Citrullinome is extensive and includes the citrullination of histone tails neutralizes arginine charge and is linked to chromatin de-condensation during extracellular release. Given its assumed irreversibility, any role for histone citrullination outside of terminal NETosis is controversial. However, any investigation of site-specific histone Rcit(s) in combinatorial chromatin regulation is severely hindered by the lack of reliable detection reagents. To address, we used nucleosome-based screening to develop recombinant monoclonal antibodies that individually recognize histone H3R2cit, H3R8cit or H3R17cit independent of the cis PTM context. These show PAD4 citrullinates nucleosomal H3R17 and H3R8 more efficiently than H3R2; is inhibited at each position by pre-existing arginine methylation; but strikingly unaffected by neighboring lysine methylations or acetylations. As expected, each citrullination occurs in mouse primary neutrophils upon calcium ionophore induced NETosis. However, H3R8cit and H3R17cit also show broad genomic enrichment patterns in multiple cell lines, suggesting potential roles in epigenetic regulation.

Inhibition of netosis with PAD inhibitor attenuates endotoxin shock induced systemic inflammation

Project description:Neutrophils play a pivotal role in innate immunity and participate in a range of immunological disorders. Excessive neutrophil extracellular traps formed at infection and tissue damage sites are detrimental to the local tissue and further exacerbate inflammation. Protein arginine deiminases mediate histone citrullination and NET formation thereby regulating endotoxin shock response. However, the molecular mechanisms are less known. Here we report that inhibition of netosis attenuates inflammation in a LPS induced lethal endotoxic shock model in mice. Albeit a higher number of neutrophils are accumulated in peritoneal cavity the primary inflammatory site, the level of inflammatory signals is greatly reduced after netosis inhibition with a PAD inhibitor. In lungs under endotoxic stress, gene expression analyses indicate that LPS induced a drastic increase in inflammatory gene expression. In contrast, lung tissue damage and inflammation were much reduced after PAD inhibition to reduce netosis. In summary, we found NET formation inhibition as a new avenue to manage inflammatory damages under endotoxic stress.

Neutrophil-derived PAD4 induces citrullination of CKMT1 in epithelial cells to exacerbate mucosal inflammation

Project description:Objective Increased neutrophil extracellular trap-osis (NETosis) is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms of NETosis formation and its detrimental effect on the intestinal epithelium remain poorly understood. Design Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induce colitis in peptidyl-arginine deiminase-4 deficient (PAD4-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. PAD4, NETosis and citrullination levels were detected in mice and human volunteers. Citrullination analysis and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) were performed to explore the target of PAD4 during NETosis formation. The effect of this citrullinated target in the intestinal epithelium during the pathogenesis of IBD was validated both in vivo and in vitro. Results The levels of NETosis and citrullination were improved in IBD patients, which was positively associated with endoscopic inflammation scores. Deleting PAD4 alleviated colonic inflammation and intestinal barrier dysfunctions. In citrullination analysis, R243 of mitochondrial creatine kinase 1 (CKMT1) was identified as the potential target of PAD4 during NETosis. The scRNA-seq data further indicated that PAD4 in neutrophils contributed to the increase of epithelia (Nos2+ Clca3b+) and the decrease of distal immature epithelia. PAD4-mediated NETosis contributed to the destruction of intestinal barriers and increase of apoptosis as well as lower level of CKMT1 protein in vitro. Finally, mice with intestinal epithelial-specific ablation of CKMT1 were used to verify its detrimental role in the development of IBD, which was also validated by the moderate correlation between CKMT1 and endoscopic scores in IBD patients.

A quantitative and site-specific atlas of the PADI4-induced citrullinome reveals widespread existence of citrullination

Project description:Citrullination refers to the conversion of arginine into the non-essential amino acid citrulline. Despite its importance in physiology and disease, global identification of citrullinated proteins and modification sites has remained challenging. Here, we combined quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics with differentiation of a leukemia cell line into neutrophil-like cells to reveal a comprehensive atlas of citrullination sites. Collectively, we identified 14.056 citrullination sites within 4.008 proteins and quantified their regulation in response to PADI4-specific inhibitor GSK484. Hereby we uncovered general principles about the mechanistic and biological aspects of citrullination function, while providing site-specific and quantitative regulation of thousands of PADI4 substrates, including signature histone marks and numerous non-histone events on transcriptional regulators and chromatin-related signaling effectors. Collectively, we describe systems attributes of the human citrullinome, reveal the existence of thousands citrullinated autoantigens in neutrophil cells, and provide a resource framework for investigating PADI4-specific functions and substrates for years to come.

Characterization of Citrullination Sites in Neutrophils and Mast Cells Activated by Ionomycin via Integration of Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning

Project description:Citrullination is an important post-translational modification implicated in many diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Neutrophil and mast cells have different protein-arginine deiminases expression profile and ionomycin induced activation make them the ideal cellular models to study proteins susceptible to citrullination. We performed high resolution mass spectrometry and stringent data filtration to identify citrullination sites in neutrophil and mast cells treated with and without ionomycin. We identified a total of 831 validated citrullination sites on 393 proteins. Several of these citrullinated proteins are important component of pathways involved in innate immune responses. Using this benchmark primary sequence dataset, we developed machine learning models to predict citrullination in neutrophil and mast cells proteins. Our neutrophil protein citrullination prediction model achieved greater than 76% accuracy and 0.39 Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) on an independent validation set. In summary, this study provides the largest number of validated citrullination sites in neutrophil and mast cell proteins. The use of our novel motif analysis approach to predict citrullination sites will facilitate the discovery of novel protein substrates of protein-arginine deiminases (PADs), which may be key to understanding immunopathologies of various diseases.

NET formation is a default epigenetic program controlled by PAD4 in apoptotic neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) counteract bacterial and fungal pathogens but can also promote thrombosis, autoimmunity, and sterile inflammation. The presence of citrullinated histones, generated by the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), is synonymous with NETosis and is considered independent of apoptosis. Mitochondrial- and death receptormediated apoptosis promote GSDME-dependent calcium mobilization and membrane permeabilization leading to histone H3 citrullination (H3Cit), nuclear DNA extrusion, and cytoplast formation. H3Cit is concentrated at the promoter in bone marrow neutrophils, and redistributes in a coordinated process from promoter to intergenic and intronic regions during apoptosis. Loss of GSDME prevents nuclear and plasma membrane disruption of apoptotic neutrophils, but prolongs early apoptosis-induced cellular changes to the chromatin and cytoplasmic granules. Apoptotic signaling engages PAD4 in neutrophils, establishing a cellular state that is primed for NETosis, but that occurs only upon membrane disruption by GSDME, thereby redefining the end-of-life for neutrophils.

Oral Pathogen ‘Neutralizes’ the Human Innate Immune Defence

Project description:Our present findings show for the first time that the virulence factor PPAD protects the oral pathogen P. gingivalis against neutrophil insults at three distinct levels, namely phagocytosis, NETosis and CAMP activity. This identifies PPAD as a major agent in the evasion of human innate immunity, a view that is supported by studies from Potempa and co-workers showing PPAD-dependent citrullination of complement.

Early and late processes driving NET formation, and the autocrine/paracrine role of endogenous RAGE ligands

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation has emerged as an important response against various pathogens; it also plays a role in chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. Despite a growing understanding of the mechanisms underlying NET formation, much remains to be elucidated. We previously showed that in human neutrophils activated with different classes of physiological stimuli, NET formation features both early and late events that are controlled by discrete signaling pathways. However, the nature of these events has remained elusive. We now report that PAD4 inhibition only affects the early phase of NETosis, as do distinct signaling intermediates (TAK1, MEK, p38 MAPK). Accordingly, the inducible citrullination of residue R2 on histone H3 is an early neutrophil response that is regulated by these kinases; other arginine residues on histones H3 and H4 do not seem to be citrullinated. Conversely, chromatin decondensation is a belated event in NET formation, that is impaired by the inhibition of most signaling pathways known to control the phenomenon. We additionally show that neutrophils can condition themselves to be poised for rapid NET formation, and that this represents another late process. Similarly, activated neutrophils release a number of endogenous proteic factors that promote and largely mediate NET generation, and this is yet another late process. Our data shed new light on the cellular processes underlying NET formation, and unveil some unsuspected facets of the phenomenon. In view of the involvement of NETs in both homeostasis and several pathologies, our findings are of broad relevance.

Histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 Is Crucial for Epigenetic Regulation of Starvation-induced Autophagy

Project description:Autophagy is a highly conserved self-digestion process, essential to maintain homeostasis and viability in response to nutrient starvation. Although the components of autophagy in the cytoplasm have been well-studied, molecular basis for the epigenetic regulation of autophagy is poorly understood. Here, we identify histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 as a critical component of autophagy. We found that nutrient starvation increased CARM1 protein level and subsequently histone H3R17 dimethylation. Genome-wide analyses reveal that CARM1 exerts transcriptional coactivator function on autophagy-related genes and lysosomal genes through TFEB. Our findings demonstrate a previously unrecognized role of CARM1-dependent histone arginine methylation as a critical nuclear event of autophagy.

Citrullination of Histone H3 drives IL-6 production by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in MGUS and multiple myeloma

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable plasma cell malignancy, requires localisation within the bone marrow in order to survive and proliferate. Interactions between the malignant plasma cell and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSC) are thought to be a critical determinant of this requirement, and include both physical and chemical components. There is increasing evidence that the phenotype of the BMMSC is stably altered in patients with MM. More recently, it has been suggested that this phenotypic transformation is also observed in patients with the benign condition known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), which almost always precedes MM. In this study, we describe a mechanism by which the peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PADI2) enzyme plays an key role in the control of malignant plasma cell phenotype by BMMSCs. PADI enzymes deiminate (citrullinate) peptidyl arginine residues, changing the function or interactions made by the target protein. We identified PADI2 as one of the most highly upregulated transcripts in BMMSCs from both MGUS and MM patients, and that through citrullination of arginine residue 26 of histone H3, it induces the upregulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression. This directly leads to the acquisition of resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent, bortezomib, by malignant plasma cells. We therefore describe a novel mechanism by which BMMSC dysfunction in patients with MGUS and MM directly leads to pro-malignancy signalling through the citrullination of histone H3R26. 30 samples, 10 from each of three categories (control, MGUS, MM)
