Topoisomerase 1 inhibition suppresses inflammatory genes and protects from death by inflammation (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The host innate immune response is the first line of defense against pathogens and is orchestrated by the concerted expression of genes induced by microbial stimuli. Deregulated expression of these genes is linked to the initiation and progression of numerous diseases associated with exacerbated inflammation. Here, we identify Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) as a critical positive regulator of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional activity at pathogen-induced genes. Notably, depletion or chemical inhibition of Top1 suppresses the host response against replicating Influenza and Ebola viruses as well as bacterial products. As a result, therapeutic pharmacological inhibition of Top1 protects mice from death in experimental models of chemical- and pathogen-induced lethal inflammation. Our results indicate that Top1 inhibition could be used as therapy against life threatening infections characterized by an acutely exacerbated immune response.

The plant thimet oligopeptidases TOP1 and TOP2 have divergent redox sensitivities and substrate cleavage specificity

Project description:Physiological and pathogen-induced oscillations in the plant cells' redox environment trigger response mechanisms that involve redox-sensitive cysteines and consequent changes in proteins' biochemical and functional characteristics. Arabidopsis thimet oligopeptidases (TOPs) TOP1 and TOP2 are components of the immune signaling and oxidative stress response. Here, TOP1 and TOP2 were evaluated comparatively to understand their role as redox sensors. We show that TOPs catalytic activity is augmented in plants undergoing an immune response and in mutant lines with altered expression of the chloroplastic NTRC impaired in the chloroplast thiol-disulfide regulatory system; ntrc was unable to mount a systemic immune response. Oxidation promoted TOP1 self-interaction to dimers and oligomers; Cys-to-Ala mutagenesis of multiple Cys residues inhibited TOP1 oxidative self-interaction. In contrast, TOP1 lacking the signal peptide (ΔSPTOP1) and TOP2 were detected solely as monomers. Treatment with oxidized glutathione increased the catalytic activities of TOPs; Ala substitution of the unique Cys405 of TOP2 abolished its oxidative activation. The immune regulator ROC1 was identified as a candidate TOPs substrate. TOPs cleaved a ROC1 peptide (ROC1p) at similar and unique cleavage sites; ROC1p concentration helped determine TOPs cleavage specificity. We propose that TOP1 and TOP2 form a proteolysis couple with divergent redox-sensing mechanisms and specificity.

Comparative Pathogenesis of Three Human and Zoonotic SARS-CoV Strains in Cynomolgus Macaques

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic was characterized by increased pathogenicity in the elderly due to an early exacerbated innate host response. SARS-CoV is a zoonotic pathogen that entered the human population through an intermediate host like the palm civet. To prevent future introductions of zoonotic SARS-CoV strains and subsequent transmission into the human population, heterologous disease models are needed to test the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics against both late human and zoonotic isolates. Here we show that both human and zoonotic SARS-CoV strains can infect cynomolgus macaques and resulted in radiological as well as histopathological changes similar to those seen in mild human cases. Viral replication was higher in animals infected with a late human phase isolate compared to a zoonotic isolate. Host responses to the three SARS-CoV strains were similar and only apparent early during infection with the majority of genes associated with interferon signalling pathways.This study characterizes critical disease models in the evaluation and licensure of therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV for human use 4 strains, time course, lungs

Transcriptional Profiling of the Immune Response to Ebola Infection

Project description:Ebola virus is the causative agent of a severe syndrome in humans with a fatality rate that can approach 90%. During infection, the host immune response is thought to become dysregulated, but the mechanisms through which this happens are not entire understood. In this study, we use microarrays to determine the host response to Ebola infection in the PBMCs of cynomolgus macaques.

Chemotherapeutic drugs inhibiting Topoisomerase 1 activity inhibit TNF-induced inflammatory gene expression

Project description:Inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1), an enzyme relieving torsional stress of DNA by generating transient single-strand breaks, are clinically used to treat ovarian cancer, small cell lung cancer and cervical cancer. As torsional stress is generated by replication and transcription we tested the effects of clinically used TOP1 inhibitors Topotecan and SN-38 on TNF-induced gene expression. RNA-seq experiments showed that inhibition of TOP1 activity interfered with the vast majority of TNF-triggered genes, while interference with TOP2 activity had only a minor impact. TOP1 inhibition affected the expression of early and late induced genes and the relative strength of gene induction played no role in the sensitivity to TOP1 interfering drugs. These data raise the possibility that the inhibition of inflammatory gene expression contributes to the increased risk of infection seen in some patients treated with TOP1 inhibtors.

Quantitative mRNA expression comparison of Hepatitis C Virus replicon (2a) on Huh7.5 cell lines

Project description:We developed transcriptome expression assisted non-directed proteome profiling (TEAnDPP) method to investigate host-pathogen interaction. Analysis of HCV replicon induced host-cell metabolism perturbation at gene expression level. Gene enrichment analysis on DEG revealed disulfide formation related genes were significantly enriched. Based on this observation, we addminitrated thiol reactive chemical probes to visualize reactive thiol profile in live cell, and observed unique reactivity profile. Using SILAC-based quantitative profiling method, we identified 26 proteins that are labeled by iodoacetamide probes. Among these proteins, we discovered t-plastin was upregulated in APC140 cells, and its knock-down experiment showed significant HCV replication inhibition effect. In short, TEAnDPP strategy demonstrated its usefulness in host-pathogen interaction study for HCV infection.

Dual spatially resolved transcriptomics for SARS-CoV-2 host-pathogen colocalization studies in humans

Project description:To advance our understanding of cellular host-pathogen interactions, technologies that facilitate the co-capture of both host and pathogen spatial transcriptome information are needed. Here, we present an approach to simultaneously capture host and pathogen spatial gene expression information from the same formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue section using the spatial transcriptomics technology. We applied the method to COVID-19 patient lung samples and enabled the dual detection of human and SARS-CoV-2 transcriptomes at 55 Ã‚Âµm resolution. We validated our spatial detection of SARS-CoV-2 and identified an average specificity of 94.92% in comparison to RNAScope and 82.20% in comparison to in situ sequencing (ISS). COVID-19 tissues showed an upregulation of host immune response, such as increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, lymphocyte and fibroblast markers. Our colocalization analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2+ spots presented shifts in host RNA metabolism, autophagy, NFÃŽÂºB, and interferon response pathways. Future applications of our approach will enable new insights into host response to pathogen infection through the simultaneous, unbiased detection of two transcriptomes.

Plasma proteomic, human Ebola virus disease

Project description:The 2013-2016 Ebola Zaire virus (EBV) outbreak in West Africa resulted in over 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths. Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a highly virulent systemic disease with a high case fatality rate of ~ 50%. EVD results in hemorrhagic fever marked by an exaggerated systemic inflammatory response, and impaired vascular and coagulation systems. The immune response of patients who either survived or died is characterized by strong differences. Notably, fatalities showed a diminished capacity to mount an appropriate immune response, resulting in high viremia and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In this study, we analyzed 38 sequential samples collected from 12 patients: 8 survivors and 4 fatalities. Our analytical strategy combined three protein-based platforms covering three different fractions of the plasma proteome: the undepleted classical plasma proteome, the depleted plasma proteome, and cytokines/chemokines, using LC/MS- and antibody-based assays, resulting in over 1000 quantified host and pathogen proteins. For depletion of the most abundant plasma proteins, we advanced a perchloric acid-based precipitation method. This method is low cost, high-throughput and robust.
