Project description:Background: PIM1 is a constitutively active serine-threonine kinase regulating cell survival and proliferation. Increased PIM1 expression has been correlated with cancer metastasis by facilitating migration and anti-adhesion. Endothelial cells play a pivotal role in these processes by contributing a barrier to the blood stream. Here, we investigated whether PIM1 regulates mouse aortic endothelial cell (MAEC) monolayer integrity. Methods: Pim1-/-MAEC were isolated from Pim1 knockout mice and used in trypsinization-, wound closure assays, electrical cell-substrate sensing, immunostaining, cDNA transfection and as RNA source for microarray analysis. Results: Pim1-/-MAEC displayed decreased migration, slowed cell detachment and increased electrical resistance across the endothelial monolayer. Reintroduction of Pim1- cDNA into Pim1-/-MAEC significantly restored wildtype adhesive characteristics. Pim1-/--MAEC displayed enhanced focal adhesion and adherens junction structures containing vinculin and M-NM-2-catenin, respectively. Junctional molecules such as Cadherin 13 and matrix components such as Collagen 6a3 were highly upregulated in Pim1-/- cells. Intriguingly, extracellular matrix deposited by Pim1-/- cells alone was sufficient to induce the hyperadhesive phenotype in wildtype endothelial cells. Conclusion: Loss of Pim1 induces a strong adhesive phenotype by enhancing endothelial cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion by the deposition of a specific extracellular matrix. Targeting PIM1 function therefore might be important to promote endothelial barrier integrity. Pim-1-/- mouse aortic endothelial cells were compared to wildtype cells

Project description:The Pim (proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus) proteins form a serine threonine kinase family that regulates cell proliferation, migration and cell survival. Here we demonstrate for the first time that a Pim1 kinase plays an essential role in antiviral innate immune responses. Specifically, our in vivo, in vitro and RNA-sequencing analyses showed that Pim1 was quickly upregulated after Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation in a NF-kB-dependent manner and then promoted IFN-b production by forming a cell-surface complex composed of TRIF-signaling molecules and IRF3 that promoted IRF3 phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and IFN-b production. As shown by Pim1 knockdown and knockout, Pim1 was essential for this role but its kinase activity was not involved. Pim1-deficiency increased the susceptibility of mice to poly I:C-induced sepsis. Our study uncovers a previously unrecognized role for Pim1 in antiviral innate immune responses, thus providing a new target for controlling viral infection.

Project description:Analysis of mouse thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages incubated in presence of acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) (120 μg/ml) for 24 h vs. mock-treated controls. Lipid accumulation in macrophages has profound effects on macrophage gene expression and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is the most up-regulated gene in foamy macrophages and its absence in hematopoietic cells results in larger atherosclerotic plaques, characterized by bigger necrotic core areas and increased macrophage apoptosis.

Project description:It has been estimated that about 11% of cellular genes present a functional E box to which MYC can associate on the genome. MYC silencing demonstrated that MYC recruits PIM1 at specific MYC binding sites and confocal microscopy following growth factor treatment, showed an elevated degree of nuclear co-localization of PIM1 with nascent transcripts and with MYC suggesting that PIM1 is recruited by MYC to a large number of sites. To understand the actual extension of PIM1 and MYC co-operation in gene transcription we performed expression profile analysis of 293 cells silenced either for MYC or PIM1 at 120 minutes after serum treatment. MYC silencing affected the expression of 1026 genes of which 818 were up-regulated and 208 were down-regulated. Comparison of genes regulated by MYC with those regulated by PIM1, by RNAi silencing, showed that PIM1 contributes to the regulation of 207 genes out of the 1026 MYC-regulated genes. Thus, a subset of 20% of MYC-regulated genes, are also regulated by PIM1. The co-regulated includes genes involved in cell metabolism, protein synthesis, cycle progression, and oncogenesis. Interestingly, a large number of genes are transcriptional factors, which suggests that PIM1 participates in MYC-dependent regulatory networks. Experiment Overall Design: The gene expression analysis was performed by hybridizing RNA samples to the Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray from Agilent Technologies. Samples were obtained from 293 cells, treated with serum for 120 minutes, expressing either two independent MYC shRNA (shMYC#1 and shMYC#2) or their relative scrambled shRNA (shsM#1 and shsM#2) for MYC expression analysis; two independent PIM1 shRNA (shPIM1#1 and shPIM1#2) or their relative scrambled shRNA (shsP#1 and shsP#2) for PIM1 expression analysis.

Project description:PIM1 is an oncogenic serine/threonine kinase that promotes and maintains prostate
tumorigenesis. To more fully understand the mechanism by which PIM1 promotes oncogenesis,
we performed a chemical genetic screen to identify direct PIM1 substrates in prostate cancer
cells. To identify PIM1 substrates and their phosphorylation sites in LNCaP cells, we coupled a
chemical genetic screen with a peptide capture, mass spectrometry (MS)-based approach. We
mutated the PIM1 gatekeeper residue in the ATP binding site to accept a bulky ATP analog. By
using an ATP analog labeled with a thiol group on the gamma-phosphate, we were able specifically
label PIM1 substrates even in the presence of other cellular kinases.

Project description:T cell antigen-receptor (TCR) and cytokine receptor engagement trigger large changes in Serine/Threonine kinase signalling networks to drive T cell activation and differentiation. The role of only few kinase signalling pathways have been studied in detail, and in this context, Pim kinases are an interesting, yet understudied, family of Serine/Threonine kinases, with reported roles in key processes including survival, proliferation, metabolism across a range of cell types. T lymphocytes predominantly express PIM1 and PIM2, which are rapidly induced by TCR, costimulation and cytokine signalling. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry and RNAseq we systematically examine the impact of Pim1/Pim2 double deficiency on in vitro differentiated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) expanded in the cytokines IL-2 and IL-15 to generate effector or memory T cells respectively. We find that Pim kinases are dispensable for IL-15-driven memory cell differentiation, but that Pim1/2-deficiency has a selective impact on the transcriptome and proteome of IL-2 driven effector CD8 T cells. ~75% of Pim kinase-regulated proteins were not predicted by differences in mRNA in IL-2 expanded CTL. These included proteins that are key for effector cell function: glucose transporters Slc2a1 and Slc2a3 and key effector molecules Granzyme A and B. We find that Pim kinases have this effect via control of protein translation. Another key finding was that the mRNA for key T cell homing receptors Ccr7, S1pr1 and CD62L was increased in Pim1/2-deficienct T cells and that this functionally enhancing homing to secondary lymphoid organs.

Project description:There is a strong correlation between myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), but the detailed underlying this correlation are largely unknown. Using single-cell RNA-seq analysis in a bilateral tumor model, we found that immunosuppressive myeloid cells with characteristics of fatty acid oxidative metabolism dominate the immune-cell landscape in ICB-resistant subjects. In addition, we uncovered a previously underappreciated role of a serine/threonine kinase, PIM1, in regulating lipid oxidative metabolism via PPARγ-mediated activities. Enforced PPARγ expression sufficiently rescued metabolic and functional defects of Pim1-/- MDSCs. Consistent with this, pharmacological inhibition of PIM kinase by AZD1208 treatment significantly disrupted myeloid cell–mediated immunosuppression microenvironment and unleashed CD8+ T cell–mediated antitumor immunity, which enhanced PD-L1 blockade in preclinical cancer models. PIM kinase inhibition also sensitized non-responders to PD-L1 blockade by selectively targeting suppressive myeloid cells. Overall, we have identified PIM1 as a metabolic modulator in MDSCs that is associated with ICB resistance and can be therapeutically targeted to overcome ICB resistance.
