Identification of cytokine signals regulated by Caspase-9

Project description:Genome-wide transcriptional profiles of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPCs)-enriched population derived from bone marrow chimeras reconstituted with Caspase-9 or Bak and Bax deficient fetal liver cells. Gene ontology analysis revealed changes in the expression of genes associated with interferon responses. HSPCs (Lineage-Kit+CD45.2+) were flow sorted from the femur and tibia of bone marrow chimeras 12-16 weeks post transplant of 2 million embryonic day (E) 13.5 fetal liver cells. Total RNA was isolated and up to 250 ng of total RNA per sample was labelled and hybridized to Illumina Mouse WG6V2 expression BeadChip platform. Three independent samples were used for each population.

IFNγ sensitizes macrophages to pathogen ligand killing via a unique caspase-8 and mitochondrial cell death pathway licensed by nitric oxide

Project description:Caspase-8 modulates TLR-induced gene transcription, which is only partially dependent on caspase-8 catalytic activity. Moreover, The slow kinetics of IFNγ and LPS-induced BMDM killing offers the possibility that transcriptional responses may contribute to cell death activation. We performed 3' mRNA-sequencing to examine whether caspase-8 might contribute, at least in part, to IFNγ and LPS-triggered macrophage death via its transcriptional role. We found that caspase-8-mediated transcriptional re-programming of BMDMs. Importantly, caspase-8 modulates expression of Bcl-2 family members and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to promote activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic effectors, BAX and BAK.

Paraoxonase 2 Serves a Proapopotic Function in Mouse and Human Cells in Response to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum-Sensing Molecule N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-Homoserine Lactone.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa use quorum-sensing molecules, including N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-homoserine lactone (C12), for intercellular communication. C12 activated apoptosis in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) from both wild type (WT) and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (WT MEF and DKO MEF that were responsive to C12, DKORM-BM- MEF): nuclei fragmented; mitochondrial membrane potential (M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^Hmito) depolarized; Ca2+M-BM- was released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), increasing cytosolic [Ca2+] (Cacyto); caspase 3/7 was activated. DKORM-BM- MEF had been isolated from a nonclonal pool of DKO MEF that were non-responsive to C12 (DKONRM-BM- MEF). RNAseq analysis, qPCR and western blots showed that WT and DKORM-BM- MEF both expressed genes associated with cancer, including paraoxonase 2 (PON2), while DKONRM-BM- MEF expressed little PON2. Adenovirus-mediated expression of human PON2 in DKONRM-BM- MEF rendered them responsive to C12: M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^HmitoM-BM- depolarized, CacytoM-BM- increased and caspase 3/7 activated. Human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells expressed low levels of endogenous PON2, and these cells were also less responsive to C12. Overexpression of PON2, but not PON2-H114Q (no lactonase activity) in HEK293T cells caused them to become sensitive to C12. Because [C12] may reach high levels in biofilms in lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, PON2 lactonase activity may control M-bM-^HM-^FM-OM-^Hmito, Ca2+M-BM- release from the ER and apoptosis in CF airway epithelia. Coupled with previous data, these results also indicate that PON2 uses its lactonase activity to prevent Bax- and Bak-dependent apoptosis in response to common proapoptotic drugs like doxorubicin, staurosporine but activates Bax- and Bak-independent apoptosis in response to C12. Gene expression profiling of mouse embryo fibroblasts from WT and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (C12 responsive and non-reponsive cell lines).

Computational design of potent and selective BAK and BAX binders

Project description:There are numerous binders of the pro-survival BCL2 family proteins such as BCL2, MCL1, and BCL-XL, but development of potent and selective binders of their pro-apoptotic counterparts BAK and BAX has remained a major unsolved challenge. We use computational protein design to generate 13 kDa binders of BAK and BAX with 400 pM and 3 nM affinity, orders of magnitude higher than any existing native or designed binder, and with greater than 100-fold specificity against pro-survival BCL2 family members. The crystal structure of the BAKᐧɑBAK2 complex is very close to the computational design model, with the binder making specific interactions extending out from the canonical BH3-binding groove. Liposome- and cell-based analyses reveal that ɑBAK2 inhibits membrane permeabilization when in excess of BAK, but activates BAK when BAK is in excess. Structural analyses indicate that binding of ɑBAK2 results in partial unfolding and exposure of BAK’s BH3 domain. Similar to ɑBAK2, ɑBAX2 activates BAX at low concentrations and does not activate BAX at high concentrations. This work provides valuable insight into design of small molecule or protein inhibitors of BAK and BAX; inhibition requires high affinity binding as well as a saturating concentration of binder at the site of action. Our designs are the first binders with the high specificity required for efficient modulation of apoptosis via direct interaction with BAK and BAX and they provide highly selective molecular probes for addressing outstanding cell biological questions about cell death.

C12 activated apoptosis in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) from both wild type (WT) and Bax/Bak double knock-out mice (WT MEF and DKO MEF that were responsive to C12, DKOR MEF): nuclei fragmented; mitochondrial membrane potential (∆ψmito) depolarized; Ca2+ was released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), increasing cytosolic [Ca2+] (Cacyto); caspase 3/7 was activated. DKOR MEF had been isolated from a nonclonal pool of DKO MEF that were non-responsive to C12 (DKONR MEF).

Caspase-8 promotes c-Rel-dependent inflammatory cytokine expression and resistance against Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:Caspase-8 is a critical regulator of apoptosis, programmed necrosis, and inflammatory gene expression. Caspase-8 is necessary for optimal transcription of inflammatory and antimicrobial host defense genes, including Il12 and Il1b. While the mechanisms of caspase-8-mediated control of apoptosis and programmed necrosis are well-described, how caspase-8 controls inflammatory gene expression is less clear. We show that caspase-8 is necessary for optimal nuclear translocation of the NF-κB family member c-Rel, and consequently, for recruitment of c-Rel to caspase-8-dependent gene promoters. Furthermore, caspase-8 deficiency led to an inability to control acute Toxoplasma gondii infection. These findings provide new insight into how caspase-8 contributes to inflammatory gene expression and host defense.

VDAC2 promotes BAX apoptotic activity

Project description:Intrinsic apoptosis is critical for normal physiology including the prevention of tumor formation. BAX and BAK, which are essential for mediating this process and for the cytotoxic action of many anti-cancer drugs, are thought to be regulated through similar mechanisms and act redundantly to drive apoptosis. Here we have established the various mitochondrial complexes that contain VDAC1, VDAC2, VDAC3 and BAX or BAK.
