TNF-induced gene-expressions in Nfkb2-/- MEFs and its derivatives

ABSTRACT: As such, TNF triggers the canonical NF-?B pathway to induce a nuclear NF-?B activity composed of the RelA:p50 dimer in WT cells. Nfkb2 encodes p100, which regulates the activity of the RelB NF-?B heterodimers during immune cell-differentiation via the noncanonical pathway. Our biochemical analyses revealed that an absence of p100 instead repositions RelB under the control of the TNF-activated canonical pathway. Indeed, chronic TNF treatment of Nfkb2-/- cells activates the RelA:p50 dimer and an additional RelB:p50 dimer. On the other hand, TNF stimulation of Relb-/-Nfkb2-/- and Rela-/-Nfkb2-/- MEFs exclusively activated the RelA:p50 dimer and the RelB:p50 dimer, respectively. We treated this panel of knockout MEFs with TNF for 6h before being subjected to microarray mRNA analysis. We also included in our analysis WT MEFs and Rela-/-Relb-/-Rel-/- MEFs, which served as a negative control. Our analyses revealed overlapping and distinct gene-expression specificities of RelA:p50 and RelB:p50 dimers activated in mutant cells in response to TNF.

Project description:Mouse aorta smooth muscle cells (SMCs) express TNF receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFR1) and lymphotoxin Ã receptor (LTÃR). Circumstantial evidence has linked the SMC LTÃR to tertiary lymphoid organogenesis in diseased aortae of hyperlipidemic mice. Here, we explored potential roles of TNFR1 and LTÃR activation in cultured SMCs. TNFR1 signaling by TNF activated the classical RelA NF-ÎºB pathway, whereas LTÃR signaling by agonistic anti LTÃR antibody activated both the classical RelA and alternative RelB NF-ÎºB pathways. Addition of both agonists synergized to enhance p100 inhibitor processing to the p52 subunit of NF-ÎºB and promoted its nuclear translocation suggesting RelA-RelB cross-talk in transcription regulation. Correspondingly, microarrays showed that simultaneous TNFR1 and LTÃR activation when compared to activation of single receptors was followed by markedly elevated levels of mRNAs encoding leukocyte homeostatic chemokines CCL2, CCL5, CXCL1, and CX3CL1. Furthermore, SMCs acquired prototypical features of mesenchymal cells known as lymphoid tissue organizers (LTOs), which control tertiary lymphoid organogenesis in autoimmune diseases, through hyperinduction of CCL7, CCL9, CXCL13, CCL19, CXCL16, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1. Experiments with ltbr-/- SMCs suggested that the LTÃR-RelB activation component of NF-ÎºB signaling was obligatory to generate the LTO phenotype. TNFR1-LTÃR crosstalk also resulted in augmented synthesis and prolonged secretion of lymphorganogenic chemokine proteins into the culture medium. Thus, combined TNFR1-LTÃR signaling triggers SMC transdifferentiation into a phenotype that strikingly resembles LTOs. LTO-like SMCs may adopt a thus far unrecognized role in diseased arteries, i.e. to coordinate tertiary lymphoid organogenesis in atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysm, and transplant vasculopathy. Experiment Overall Design: Smooth muscle cells in tissue culture were stimulated with agonists and subsequently microarray, RT-PCR, and protein assays / analyses were performed
