Project description:Fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The innate immune system senses fungal pathogens through a family of Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which signal through the conserved immune adapter Card9. Although Card9 complexes are essential for antifungal defense in humans and mice, the mechanisms that couple CLR-proximal events to Card9 control are not well defined. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identified Vav proteins as key activators of the Card9 pathway. Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3 cooperate downstream of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle to selectively engage Card9 for NF-κB control and proinflammatory gene transcription but are not involved in MAPK activation. Although Vav family members show functional redundancy, Vav1/2/3 triple-deficient cells are severely impaired for NF-κB and cytokine responses upon stimulation with CLR agonists or hyphae, and Vav1/2/3-/- mice phenocopy Card9-/- animals with extreme susceptibility to fungi and rapid mortality upon Candida albicans infection. In this context, Vav3 is the single most important Vav in mice, and a polymorphism in human VAV3 is associated with susceptibility to candidemia in patients. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism for CLR-mediated Card9 regulation that controls innate immunity to fungal infections.

Project description:Immune cell infiltration in response to myocyte death contributes to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and scar formation after myocardial infarction (MI). Caspase-recruitment domain protein 9 (CARD9) which belongs to CARD family acts as an adapter that mediate the transduction of proinflammatory signaling cascades in innate immunity. To investigate the role of CARD9 in cardiac injury and repair post ischemia, we subjected Card9 knockout mice to myocardial infarction (MI) , and then performed RNA-seq and gene expression profiling analysis using the ischemic cardiac tissues at 3 days post-MI, to identify key genes and pathways regulated by CARD9.

Project description:Pneumonia is a serious problem worldwide. We recently demonstrated that innate defense mechanisms of the lung are highly inducible against pneumococcal pneumonia. To determine the breadth of protection conferred by stimulation of lung mucosal innate immunity, and to identify cells and signaling pathways activated by this treatment, mice were treated with an aerosolized bacterial lysate, then challenged with lethal doses of bacterial and fungal pathogens. Mice were highly protected against a broad array of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and Class A bioterror bacterial pathogens, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Protection was associated with rapid pathogen killing within the lungs, and this effect was recapitulated in vitro using a respiratory epithelial cell line. Gene expression analysis of lung tissue showed marked activation of NF-kappa-B, Type I and II interferon, and antifungal Card9-Bcl10-Malt1 pathways. Cytokines were the most strongly induced genes, but the inflammatory cytokines TNF and IL-6 were not required for protection. Lung-expressed antimicrobial peptides were also highly upregulated. Taken together, stimulated innate resistance (StIR) appears to occur through the activation of multiple host defense signaling pathways in lung epithelial cells, inducing rapid pathogen killing, and conferring broad protection against virulent bacterial and fungal pathogens. Augmentation of innate antimicrobial defenses of the lungs might have therapeutic value for protection of patients with neutropenia or impaired adaptive immunity against opportunistic pneumonia, and for defense of immunocompetent subjects against a bioterror threat or epidemic respiratory infection. Keywords: Differential expression, innate immunity, pneumonia, immunocompromised host; lung epithelium, in vitro, MLE-15 cells were treated with sham (PBS), NTHi lysate (100 ug/ml) or EF2505-III (40 ug/ml). 4 unique samples per group. Treated for 2 hours. Hybridized to Illumina Sentrix Mouse-6 v1.1 Beadhips.

Project description:Although significant progress in recent years has been made in defining key innate immune receptors involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), our knowledge of the specific intracellular signaling molecules that coordinate immune responses in AD remains poorly defined. In these studies, we have identified a previously undescribed role for the innate immune signaling molecule CARD9 in an amyloid beta (Ab)-mediated mouse model of AD. We specifically demonstrate that CARD9 deletion in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD leads to impaired control of Ab, worsened cognitive decline, and aberrant microglial activation. We further show that pharmacological activation of CARD9 provides a strategy to boost Ab clearance from the hippocampus. Collectively, these findings uncover a previously uncharacterized molecular signaling molecule used by the innate immune system in Ab-mediated neurological disease, and help to establish CARD9 as a novel molecular player that can be targeted in AD.

Project description:It is crucial to decipher the host-microbiota interactions as they are involved in intestinal homeostasis and diseases. Caspase Recruitment Domain 9 (Card9) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene coding for an adapter protein for innate immunity toward many microorganisms. Card9 mediates colitis recovery via interleukin 22 pathway activation and Card9-/- mice have enhanced susceptibility to colitis. To reveal the mechanisms responsible of this defect in Card9-/-mice, we compared colon transcriptomics in WT and Card9-/- mice before and during DSS-induced colitis. Mice transcriptomes clusterized according to the genotype supporting a pattern clearly different in WT and Card9-/- mice. The number of up-regulated genes at day 7 was largely higher in Card9-/- compared to WT mice. Pathway analyses of the induced transcripts showed a dominance of immune-related pathway with a stronger signal in Card9-/- mice. Interestingly, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, in which CARD9 is involved, was an exception with weaker activation in Card9-/- than in WT mice. During the recovery period at day 12, pathways involved in cell proliferation and replication were significantly activated in WT compared to Card9-/- mice confirming the healing defect in Card9-/- mice. For the induction of colitis, mice were given drinking water supplemented with 2% (w/v) Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) for 7 days, then allowed to recover by drinking water alone for 5 additional days. 3 mice of each groups (WT and Card9-/-) were sacrified before DSS administration. 5 WT mice and 4 Card9-/- mice were sacrified 7 days after DSS administration and 5 mice of each group were sacrified at day 12.
