Pathological impact of hepatitis B virus surface proteins on the liver is associated with the host genetic background

ABSTRACT: Development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is main dangerous consequences of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Although a lot of data accumulated about host's immune response against infected hepatocytes, less is known about direct pathogenic effects of HBV proteins. Here we have investigated pathological outcomes of HBV envelope polypeptides expression in the liver of transgenic mice. Expression of HBV proteins induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response in hepatocytes. ER stress response included activation of PKR-like ER-localized eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) kinase (PERK) and eIF2α phosphorylation. In young transgenic mice on BALB/c genetic background eIF2α phosphorylation resulted in activation of GADD153/CHOP-dependent apoptosis that led to stronger liver injury and fibrosis compared to transgenic mice on C57BL/6 genetic background. Hepatic stellate cells represented the main collagen-producing cells in the liver of HBV transgenic mice. Further, key regulator of hepatocytes proliferation transcription factor c-Jun was up-regulated and this up-regulation was accompanied by c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) activation in the liver of HBV transgenic mice. Thus, HBV envelope polypeptides induced host genetic background-dependent liver injury and fibrosis, and, more important, stimulated c-Jun expression and activated PERK genetic background-independent creating conditions in the liver that promote cancer cell proliferation and tumour growth.

ISR target genes in the liver of mock-injected and AP20187-treated mice of wildtype and Atf4-/- genotype

Project description:The molecular mechanisms linking the stress of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER stress) to glucose intolerance in obese animals are poorly understood. In this study enforced expression of a translation initiation 2α (eIF2α)-specific phosphatase, GADD34, was used to selectively compromise signaling in the eIF2(αP)-dependent arm of the ER unfolded protein response in liver of transgenic mice. The transgene resulted in lower liver glycogen levels and susceptibility to fasting hypoglycemia in lean mice and glucose tolerance and diminished hepato-steatosis in animals fed a high fat diet. Attenuated eIF2(αP) correlated with lower expression of the adipogenic nuclear receptor PPARγ and its upstream regulators, the transcription factors C/EBPα and C/EBPβ, in transgenic mouse liver, whereas eIF2α phosphorylation promoted C/EBP translation in cultured cells and primary hepatocytes. These observations suggest that eIF2(αP)-mediated translation of key hepatic transcriptional regulators of intermediary metabolism contributes to the detrimental consequences of nutrient excess. Keywords: genotype comparison The low expressing Ttr::Fv2E-Perk transgene (#58) was bred into the Atf4 knockout strain and the derivative compound heterozygous mice (in the mixed FvB/n; Swiss Webster background) were backcrossed to the Atf4+/- parental stock and Ttr::Fv2E-PERK positive siblings with Atf4+/+ and Atf4-/- genetypes were analyzed.

The eIF2 kinase PERK and the integrated stress response facilitate activation of ATF6 during endoplasmic reticulum stress

Project description:Disruptions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that perturb protein folding cause ER stress and elicit an unfolded protein response (UPR) that involves translational and transcriptional changes in gene expression aimed at expanding the ER processing capacity and alleviating cellular injury. Three ER stress sensors PERK, ATF6, and IRE1 implement the UPR. PERK phosphorylation of eIF2 during ER stress represses protein synthesis, which prevents further influx of ER client proteins, along with preferential translation of ATF4, a transcription activator of the integrated stress response. In this study we show that the PERK/eIF2α~P/ATF4 pathway is required not only for translational control, but also activation of ATF6 and its target genes. The PERK pathway facilitates both the synthesis of ATF6 and trafficking of ATF6 from the ER to the Golgi for intramembrane proteolysis and activation of ATF6. As a consequence, liver-specific depletion of PERK significantly reduces both the translational and transcriptional phases of the UPR, leading to reduced protein chaperone expression, disruptions of lipid metabolism, and enhanced apoptosis. These findings show that the regulatory networks of the UPR are fully integrated, and helps explain the diverse pathologies associated with loss of PERK. 14 gene expression arrays, 3 WT control arrays; 3 lsPERK control arrays; 4 WT Treated arrays; 4 lsPERK treated arrays. Comparison of gene expression profiles for treated vs control in wildtype and knock-out.

ISR target genes in the liver of either LFD and HFD-treated Alb::GC mice and AP20187-treated TTR::Fv2E-PERK mice

Project description:The molecular mechanisms linking the stress of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER stress) to glucose intolerance in obese animals are poorly understood. In this study enforced expression of a translation initiation 2alpha (eIF2a)-specific phosphatase, GADD34, was used to selectively compromise signaling in the eIF2(Î±P)-dependent arm of the ER unfolded protein response in liver of transgenic mice. The transgene resulted in lower liver glycogen levels and susceptibility to fasting hypoglycemia in lean mice and glucose tolerance and diminished hepato-steatosis in animals fed a high fat diet. Attenuated eIF2(aP) correlated with lower expression of the adipogenic nuclear receptor PPARgamma and its upstream regulators, the transcription factors C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta, in transgenic mouse liver, whereas eIF2alpha phosphorylation promoted C/EBP translation in cultured cells and primary hepatocytes. These observations suggest that eIF2(aP)-mediated translation of key hepatic transcriptional regulators of intermediary metabolism contributes to the detrimental consequences of nutrient excess. Keywords: genotype comparison The high expressing Ttr::Fv2E-Perk transgenic mice was injected by either mock or AP20187.

Neurons shift translational control to secure proteostatic resilience during ER stress

Project description:Proteostasis is essential for survival and particularly important for highly specialized post mitotic cells like neurons. Transient reduction of protein synthesis by protein kinase R–like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase (PERK)-mediated phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) is a major proteostatic survival response during ER stress. Paradoxically, neurons are remarkably tolerant to PERK dysfunction, which suggests the existence of cell type-specific mechanisms that secure proteostatic stress resilience. We employed PERK-deficient neuron and astrocyte monocultures to investigate the mechanisms underlying neuron-specific ER stress resilience in the absence of PERK.

Pharmacological induction of selective endoplasmic reticulum retention as a novel strategy for cancer therapy

Project description:We analysed the difference in the surface proteome of human cells that were either subjected to ER stress (induced by thapsigargin (Tg)) only or were additionally treated with a pharmacological inhibitor against the eIF2α kinase PERK, which is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Compared to single ER stress, several important plasma-membrane associated kinases, showed a significant downregulation under PERK inhibition.

HBV Infection and DNA Stimulation Induce a Unique Innate Immune Response in Hepatocytes

Project description:Background and Aims: Recent identification of intracellular DNA sensing pathways and involvement in numerous diverse disease processes including viral pathogenesis and autoimmunity suggests a role for these processes in liver pathology. The presence of these pathways in the liver and their role in HBV infection is unknown. Methods: In order to characterize the role of DNA sensing pathways in the liver, we utilized in vitro models. Microarray was performed on DNA treated and HBV infected hepatoma primary human hepatocytes. Results: Here we show that HBV infection and foreign DNA results in a significant innate immune response characterized by the production of inflammatory chemokines. The goal of this study is to characterize the changes in gene expression triggered by HBV and foreign DNA in primary human hepatocytes. PHHs were infected with HBV (MO.I = 50) for 40 hours. PHHs were transfected with 1Î¼g/mL of ISD/dsDNA90 for 12 or 24 hours. Three replicates were performed for each condition.

Expression data from primary mouse hepatocytes treated with Diclofenac

Project description:Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important clinical problem. Here we used a genomics approach to establish the critical drug-induced toxicity pathways that act in synergy with the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor M-oM-^AM-! (TNFM-oM-^AM-!) to cause cell death of liver HepG2 cells. Transcriptomics of the cell injury stress response pathways initiated by two hepatoxicants, diclofenac and carbamazepine, revealed the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress/translational initiation signaling and Nrf2 antioxidant signaling as two major affected pathways, which was similar to that observed for the majority of ~80 DILI compounds in primary human hepatocytes. The ER stress was primarily related to PERK and ATF4 activation and subsequent expression of CHOP, which was all independent of TNFM-NM-1 signaling. Identical ATF4 dependent transcriptional programs were observed in primary human hepatocytes as well as primary precision cut human liver slices. Targeted RNA interference studies revealed that while ER stress signaling through IRE1M-NM-1 and ATF6 acted cytoprotective, activation of the ER stress protein kinase PERK and subsequent expression of CHOP was pivotal for the onset of drug/TNF-induced apoptosis. While inhibition of the Nrf2-dependent adaptive oxidative stress response enhanced the drug/TNF cytotoxicity, Nrf2 signaling did not affect CHOP expression. Both hepatotoxic drugs enhanced expression of the translational initiation factor EIF4A1, which was essential for CHOP expression and drug/TNFM-oM-^AM-!-mediated cell killing. Our data support a model in which enhanced drug-induced translation initiates PERK-mediated CHOP signaling in an EIF4A1 dependent manner, thereby sensitizing towards caspase-8-dependent TNF induced apoptosis. 4 biological replicates of Diclofenac and 6 biological replicates of vehicle. 46 hours after isolation, cells were exposed to either 300 M-BM-5M DCF or the solvent DMSO for 24 hours.
