Anti-inflammatory Chromatinscape Associated with Clinically Relevant Timing of Glucocorticoid Treatment [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Despite the widespread use of glucocorticoids (GCs) for treating inflammatory conditions, the underlying mechanisms of their anti-inflammatory effects are not understood. Moreover, the majority of molecular investigations have examined the effects of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation prior to inflammatory challenges. However, clinically relevant situations are emulated by a GC intervention initiated in the midst of rampant inflammatory responses. To characterize the effects of a late GC treatment, we performed systematic profiling of macrophage transcriptional and regulatory landscapes with Dexamethasone (Dex) treatment either before or after stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). GR activation by Dex following LPS stimulation had a similar anti-inflammatory profile in comparison to GR pre-activation, while ameliorating the disruption of metabolic genes. Unexpectedly, the chromatin occupancy pattern of GR is not predictive of the Dex-regulated expression changes and shows little evidence for the widely accepted ‘trans-repression by tethering’ model. Rather, we find that GR activation results in global blockade of NF-κB binding to chromatin. Integrative analyses of gene expression, transcription factor occupancy, and chromatin accessibility data highlight distinct mechanisms through which GR controls inflammatory macrophages: prevention of NF-κB chromatin occupancy and activation of negative regulators such as Nfkbia, Dusp1, Tnfaip3, and Tsc22d3. Our investigation with differentially timed GC treatments reveals molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic actions of GR for modulating the ‘inflamed epigenome’.

Individual-specific functional epigenomics reveals genetic determinants of adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used as anti-inflammatory drugs, but their long-term use has severe metabolic side effects. Here, by treating multiple patient-derived adipose stem cell-derived adipocytes and iPSC-derived hepatocytes with the potent GC dexamethasone (Dex), we uncovered cell type-specific and individual-specific GC-dependent transcriptomes and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) cistromes. Patient-specific GR binding could be traced to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that altered the binding motifs of GR or its cooperating factors. We also discovered another set of genetic variants that modulated Dex response through affecting chromatin accessibility or chromatin architecture. Several SNPs that altered Dex-regulated GR binding and gene expression controlled Dex-driven metabolic perturbations and, remarkably, predicted metabolic side-effects of GC-treated patients. These data validate a patient stem cell-based experimental framework to discover genetic variants that impact GR function and individual responses to GC drugs, with implications for developing personalized therapies.

Crosstalk between the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor boosts glucocorticoid-induced killing of multiple myeloma cells

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.

Genipin inhibits LPS-induced acute systemic inflammation in mice

Project description:Genipin is a natural blue colorant in food industry. Inflammation is correlated with human disorders, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is the critical molecule involved in inflammation. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of genipin on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute systemic inflammation in mice was evaluated by NF-κB bioluminescence-guided transcriptomic analysis. Transgenic mice carrying the NF-κB-driven luciferase genes were administered intraperitoneally with LPS and various amounts of genipin. Bioluminescent imaging showed that genipin significantly suppressed LPS-induced NF-κB-dependent luminescence in vivo. The suppression of LPS-induced acute inflammation by genipin was further evidenced by the reductions of cytokine levels in sera and organs. Microarray analysis of these organs showed that the transcripts of 79 genes were differentially expressed in both LPS and LPS/genipin groups, and one third of these genes belonged to chemokine ligand, chemokine receptor, and interferon (IFN)-induced protein genes. Moreover, network analysis showed that NF-κB played a critical role in the regulation of genipin-affected gene expression. In conclusion, we newly identified that genipin exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in a model of LPSinduced acute systemic inflammation via downregulation of chemokine ligand, chemokine receptor, and IFN-induced protein productions. A total of 25 transgenic mice (female, 6 to 8 weeks old) were randomly divided into five groups of five mice: (1) mock, no treatment; (2) LPS (4 mg/kg), (3) LPS plus genipin (1 mg/kg), (4) LPS plus genipin (10 mg/kg), and (5) LPS plus genipin (100 mg/kg). Mice were challenged intraperitoneally with LPS and then with genipin 10 min later. Four hours later, mice were imaged for the luciferase activity, and subsequently sacrificed for ex vivo imaging, RNA extraction, and immunohistochemical staining.

Exploring the effect and mechanism of roselle drink on the urinary tract infection in clinics and the lipopolysaccharide-induced renal inflammation in mice

Project description:Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common problem in long-term care facilities. Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn.) has been used in fold medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent. In this study, we surveyed the effect of roselle drink on the prevention of UTI in long-term care facilities and analyzed the anti-inflammatory potential of roselle on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced renal inflammation. By survey questionnaires, we found that roselle drink was the most commonly used treatment for the routine care of residents. In addition, taking roselle drink in residents with urinary catheters reduced the incidence of UTI by 36%. Roselle suppressed LPS-induced nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the maximal inhibition (73.75±4.11%) was observed at 100 μg/ml roselle drink. Roselle also suppressed LPS-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production in mice. Gene expression profile of roselle in kidney showed that roselle downregulated the expression of inflammatory genes, and NF-κB was the main transcription factor involved in the regulation of roselle-regulated gene expression. Immunohistochemical staining further showed that roselle inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB activation and inflammatory cell infiltration in kidney. In conclusion, our findings suggested that roselle drink might be a potent benefit herbal supplement for UTI. Moreover, roselle ameliorated LPS-induced renal inflammation via regulating inflammatory gene expression and NF-κB pathway.

PKCα-LSD1-NF-κB Signaling Cascade Is Crucial for Epigenetic Control of the Inflammatory Response [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The inflammatory response mediated by NF-κB signaling is essential for host defense against pathogens. Although the components and regulatory mechanism of NF-κB signaling have been well-studied, molecular basis for the epigenetic regulation of the inflammatory response is poorly understood. Here, we identify a new signaling axis of PKCα- LSD1-NF-κB p65 which is critical for activation and amplification of the inflammatory response and triggering systemic inflammatory diseases. In response to excessive inflammatory stimuli, PKCα translocates to the nucleus and phosphorylates LSD1. Phosphorylation of LSD1 is required for its interaction with p65 and facilitates demethylation of p65 leading to enhanced protein stability. Genome-wide analysis reveals a critical role of LPS-induced LSD1 phosphorylation in the transcriptional activation of NF-κB target genes. Together, we demonstrate that PKCα-LSD1-NF-κB signaling cascade is crucial for epigenetic control of the inflammatory response.
