B cell αv integrin regulates tissue specialization and clonal expansion of lung germinal center and memory B cells after viral infection

ABSTRACT: Lung-resident B cells are increasingly recognized as key contributors to protective immunity against respiratory viruses, yet the mechanisms that govern their generation and specialization remain poorly understood. Here, we identify B cell-intrinsic αv integrin as a critical negative regulator of germinal center (GC) dynamics and memory B cell formation in the lung following influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Using B cell-specific αv knockout mice, we show that loss of B cell αv integrin leads to persistent GC activity within the inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue and expansion of lung-resident memory B cells, including IgA+ and cross-reactive B cells capable of recognizing heterologous influenza variants. Single-cell transcriptomic and B cell receptor (BCR) sequence analyses reveal that αv restricts clonal expansion and antigenic diversification of GC and memory B cells in the lung, but not in draining lymph nodes, indicating a spatially restricted mechanism of mucosal B cell regulation. These findings position αv integrin as a key checkpoint that constrains local mucosal B cell evolution and suggest new strategies to improve mucosal vaccine efficacy by enhancing GC activity directly in the lung.

Control of basal-type prostate cancers with a bispecific integrin α5β1/αv antibody

Project description:Integrin α5β1 and αv crosstalk in chemotaxis and clonogenic survival of prostate cancer cells is abrogated by a bispecific α5β1/αv antibody (BsAbα5β1/αv), which uniquely induces internalization and lysosomal degradation of target integrins. We hypothesized that the BsAbα5β1/αv inactivates pathological mechanosignaling pathways that correlate with integrin expression from patient samples. Mechanistic studies indicate that the BsAbα5β1/αv uniquely reverses YAP, beta-catenin and FAK nuclear localization compared to monospecific integrin α5β1 and αv antibody controls in basal-type androgen-receptor negative prostate cancer cells. Dual integrin αv and α5 knockdown alone phenocopied the BsAbα5β1/αv effect. Following BsAbα5β1/αv treatment, ATAC-seq studies indicated the chromatin accessibility to TEAD and AP-1 family members was markedly reduced. In vitro and in vivo RNA-seq indicated down-regulation of Myc/E2F, TGF-beta and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and upregulation of Type I and II interferon transcriptomic pathways. The BsAbα5β1/αv induced CXCL10 and CCL5 cytokine secretion, immune-infiltration of tumors, and natural-killer cell-mediated elimination of the basal-type prostate cancer xenografts in nude mice. αv integrin was highly expressed and principally correlated with the Myc signaling pathway in rapid autopsy tissue microarrays, consistent with correlative data from the SU2C metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and DKFZ early-onset prostate cancer cohorts. These studies connect integrin signaling with the central biology of basal-type and castration-resistant prostate cancer and define a novel therapeutic strategy that controls critical immunosuppressive pathways.

Integrin αV as a potential target in aortic aneurysm and dissection

Project description:Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a perilous disease that can lead to aortic dissection (AD), the pathophysiological mechanisms of which remain largely elusive. To improve our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying TAA, we conducted a tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics analysis and identified two down-regulated proteins, integrin αV, and integrin αL, in serum samples from patients with type A aortic dissection. We confirmed that integrin αV is extensively expressed in the aortic media, and its expression decreases after dissection, whereas the expression of integrin αL showed no significant alteration. Subsequently, by employing a mouse model of TAA induced by β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN), we discovered that the mice treated with integrin αV inhibitors Cilengitide or SB273005 developed dramatically expansive ascending TAA, accompanied by exacerbated disorganization or loss of elastic fibers. Bulk RNA sequencing results further indicated that the treatment with integrin αV inhibitors exacerbates the pro-inflammatory response in mouse TAA development. These data suggest that integrin αV may be a novel target for TAA intervention. However, it also raises concerns about exposure to integrin αV inhibitors, which are conducted in serious cancer clinical trials, may pose a potential risk of developing aortic aneurysm (AA)/AD.

scRNA-seq analysis of the livers from the mice treated with a pan-integrin αV inhibitor after pIVCL

Project description:We performed scRNA-seq analysis on the livers from the mice treated with a pan-integrin αV inhibitor, CWHM-12, after partial inferior vena cava ligation (pIVCL), a mouse model of congestive hepatopathy. The scRNA-seq analysis showed that integrin αV inhibition decreased the expression of YAP/TAZ target genes in pericentral LSECs and collagen expression in HSCs, caused by hepatic congestion.

The melanoma cell line MDA-MB-435 adhesome in long-term culture and its comparison to the adhesome upon integrin αV knockdown

Project description:Using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, we analysed the components of integrin adhesion complexes of MDA-MB-435S cells and two MDA-MB-435S-derived integrin αV-specific shRNA-expressing cell clones. Among integrins, we detected αV and β5 integrin subunits in the MDA-MB-435S adhesome, thus showing that in long term culture these cells use preferentially integrin αVβ5 for adhesion. Our data represents the first published adhesome of αVβ5 integrin heterodimer.

The melanoma cell line RPMI-7951 adhesome in long-term culture and its comparison to the adhesome upon integrin αV knockdown

Project description:Integrins are involved in the metastatic cascade and have been found to be responsible for intrinsic and acquired therapy resistance. Therefore, targeting integrins, or more specifically the signal transduction via integrin adhesion complexes (IACs), is a promising therapeutic opportunity to reduce tumor metastasis and overcome therapeutic resistance. Using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, we analysed the components of integrin adhesion complexes of RPMI-7951 cells in long term culture. The adhesome of RPMI-7951 cells contained three integrin receptor subunits: αV, β5 and β1. The most abundant integrin subunits were αV and β5, suggesting that these cells primarily use αVβ5 for adhesion in long term 2D culture. Integrin subunit α5 was detected, but at very low levels, suggesting that these cells may also express α5β1. To determine which proteins were found in αVβ5-containing adhesions, transient knockdown of integrin subunit αV was performed and IAC composition was compared to cells transfected with control siRNA.

An epithelial integrin regulates the amplitude of protective lung interferon responses

Project description:Integrins facilitate intercellular movement and communication. Unlike the promiscuous activities of many integrins, β6 integrin is restricted to epithelia and partners exclusively with integrin αV to modulate acute lung injury (ALI). Given that ALI is a complication of respiratory infection, we used mice lacking β6 integrin (β6 KO) to probe the role of the epithelial layer in controlling the lung microenvironment during infection. We found β6 KO mice were protected from disease caused by influenza and Sendai virus infections. They were also protected from disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection alone and after prior influenza virus infection, the co-infection representing an often-lethal condition in humans. Resistance in the absence of epithelial β6 integrin was caused by intrinsic priming of the lung microenvironment by type I interferons through a mechanism involving transforming growth factor-β regulation. Expression of β6 on epithelia suppresses the production of interferons, providing an advantage to the pathogen. Acute inhibition of β6 function may therefore provide a means to improve outcomes in lung microbial infections.

IGDQ motogenic peptide gradient induces directional cell migration through integrin (αv)β3 activation in metastatic breast cancer

Project description:In the context of breast cancer metastasis study, we have shown in an in vitro model of cell migration that IGDQ-exposing (IsoLeu-Gly-Asp-Glutamine type I Fibronectin motif) monolayers (SAMs) on gold sustain the adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells by triggering Focal Adhesion Kinase by activating integrins. Such tunable scaffolds are used to mimic the extracellular environment, inducing and controlling cell migration towards an anisotropic surface. The observed migratory behavior induced by the IGDQ-bearing peptide gradient along the surface suggests the presence of cell subpopulations: “stationary” or a “migratory” phenotype. We focused on the integrins α5(β1) and (αv)β3, already known to be implicated in cell migration. To this aim, a whole proteomic analysis was performed in beta 3 integrin (ITGB3) or alpha 5 integrin (ITGA5) knock-down MDA-MB-231, in order to highlight the pathways implied into the integrin-dependent cell migration. Our results showed that i) ITGB3 depletion influenced ITGA5 mRNA expression, ii) ITGB3 and ITGA5 were both necessary for IGDQ-mediated directional single cell migration, iii) integrin (αv)β3 was activated by IGDQ fibronectin type I motif and iv) co-regulation of retrograde transport of ITGB3 by ITGA5 is potentially necessary for directional IGDQ-mediated cell migration.
