Cholesterol sensing by CD81 is important for hepatitis C virus entry

ABSTRACT: CD81 is a protein found in the cells of all vertebrates, including humans. CD81 performs an important role in the natural biology of a cell: it organises collections of proteins at the cell surface, allowing them to function together. Through this role, CD81 facilitates the activation of immune cells and the fusion of sperm and egg cells during fertilisation. As well these normal functions, CD81 is a receptor for hepatitis C virus, and malaria, to gain entry to liver cells. It was recently suggested that CD81 may be able to sense cholesterol at the cell surface, resulting in a switch-like movement in CD81, however, it is unknown whether this feature affects CD81 function. In this study, we generated variants of CD81 with disruptions in cholesterol sensing, and its associated switching mechanism. Our experiments suggest that HCV entry is dependent on the cholesterol-bound form of CD81, in which the switch is in a closed position. Our study provides evidence that cholesterol sensing is important for CD81 function; this work paves the way for future investigations into the role of CD81 in both health and disease.

Compare of differential expression profiles of PEDV-susceptible and non-susceptible cell lines at the transcriptome level to identify key molecules associated with PEDV entry

Project description:Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly contagious virus that poses a serious threat to the global pig industry. Despite extensive research efforts, the functional receptor for PEDV remains unclear. In this study, we identified susceptible and non-susceptible cell lines to PEDV infection, and performed RNA-seq analysis on these cell lines. Using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we have identified the key pathways that correlated with the PEDV entry pathway. We found that cholesterol, sterols, and lipid transport and homeostasis were strongly correlated with PEDV entry, suggesting a potential role for cholesterol in PEDV entry. We then treated susceptible cell lines with a cholesterol transport inhibitor and found that inhibition of cholesterol transport could significantly inhibit PEDV entry in these cells. Together, our results suggest that cholesterol transport may play a critical role in the entry of PEDV into susceptible cells, and that targeting cholesterol transport may represent a potential strategy for controlling PEDV transmission. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanism of PEDV entry and may pave the way for the development of new therapeutic strategies against this economically important virus. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the detailed mechanism of PEDV entry, and to explore the potential of cholesterol transport inhibitors as a means of controlling PEDV transmission.

RNA-seq comparison of CD81 positive and negative cells in subcutaneous and visceral white fat and brown fat tissues in mouse

Project description:Subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) is known to undergo browning in response to cold exposure. The goal of this study is to identify elusive precursors found within scWAT that possess the ability to differentiate into beige adipocytes. A single cell transcriptomics experiment conducted by us identified the tetraspanin CD81 as a marker of adipose precursor cells (APC) that can convert to beige upon cold exposure. However, what distinguishes a CD81 positive APC from its CD81 negative counterpart in the same tissue, or in a different tissue remains unknown. Therefore, we applied bulk RNA-seq to sorted populations of Lineage negative Sca1+, CD81+/ CD81- cells from subcutaneous and visceral WAT, and brown adipose tissue to decipher the molecular underpinnings that render a CD81+ APC residing in scWAT, beige in response to browning.

Multifaceted disruption to cholesterol homeostasis upon loss of the mEMC

Project description:The mammalian Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane protein Complex (mEMC) is an evolutionarily conserved hetero-oligomer whose function and mechanism of action remain elusive. Here we identify a multi-layered contribution of the mEMC to post-translational regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. Mammalian cells employ elaborate sensing and feedback mechanisms to balance free and stored cholesterol through biosynthesis, uptake, efflux and storage. We show that mEMC biogenesis is a prerequisite for optimal maturation of at least two key ER-resident sterol regulatory enzymes: squalene synthase (SQS) and sterol-O-acyltransferase (SOAT1). Without sufficient SQS, mEMC-deficient cells have attenuated cholesterol biosynthetic capability, and loss of SOAT1 significantly reduces the amount of stored cholesteryl esters (CEs). mEMC-deficient cells remain viable, maintaining free cholesterol levels with minimal transcriptional activation of cholesterogenic and uptake pathways by the sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-2. Consequently, cells lacking the mEMC were susceptible to changes in extracellular cholesterol availability and effectively were transformed into cholesterol auxotrophs. Supplementing mEMC-deficient cells with cholesterol or lanosterol failed to restore SQS or SOAT1. These data are consistent with a direct role for the mEMC in the biogenesis of SQS and SOAT1. The range of phenotypes observed previously with mEMC subunit depletion may result from its impact on fundamental cholesterol homeostatic mechanisms.

EWI-2 regulates melanoma growth and lung metastasis in a TGF-M-NM-21-dependent manner

Project description:EWI-2 (IgSF8) plays a novel, bifunctional role in melanoma cells. EWI-2 inhibits migration, metastasis, EMT-like changes, and CD271-dependent invasion in multiple melanoma cell lines. On the other hand, EWI-2 supports melanoma cell proliferation, survival, and xenograft growth. Consistent with these results, EWI-2 levels were elevated in human malignant melanoma, but not in metastatic melanoma samples. Altered melanoma cell functions, caused by EWI-2 ablation, are almost entirely dependent on enhanced TRF-M-NM-21 signaling, and also require contributions from tetraspanin proteins CD9 and CD81. In melanoma cells lacking EWI-2, tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 enhance TRF-M-NM-21 signaling by facilitating TM-NM-2R-2M-bM-^HM-^RTM-NM-2R-1 receptor complex formation. When EWI-2 is present, CD9 and CD81 are diverted into EWI-2 complexes, and thus TRF-M-NM-21 signaling is inhibited. 4 samples = 2 Control + 2 EWI-2 KD.

The Greatwall-Endosulfine switch accelerates autophagic flux during the cell divisions leading to G1 arrest and quiescence in fission yeast

Project description:In fission yeast cell cycle exit, autophagy, G1 arrest and entry into quiescence are coordinated by the activity of the protein phosphatase PP2A/B55 through the Greatwall-Endosulfine switch. In order to study the role of this pathway in the transcriptional changes that occur during entry into quiescence, RNA was extracted from wild-type cells and from four mutant strains at three time points.

RNA-seq of mondoa zebrafish mutants

Project description:The glucose-sensing Mondo pathway regulates expression of metabolic genes in mammals. Here, we have revealed an unexpected role of this pathway in vertebrate embryonic development. We characterized Mondo pathway function in the zebrafish and showed that knock-down of mondoa impaired the early morphogenetic movement of epiboly in zebrafish embryos. Expression of nsdhl , an enzyme of cholesterol and pregnenolone synthesis, was strongly reduced in these embryos. Loss of Nsdhl function likewise impaired epiboly and led to microtubule cytoskeleton defects in the embryo, similar to MondoA loss of function. Both epiboly and microtubule cytoskeleton defects were partially restored by pregnenolone treatment. Gene disruption of mondoa perturbed epiboly with only partial penetrance, likely due to compensatory changes in the expression of cholesterol/steroid metabolism genes. Collectively, our results show a novel role for MondoA in the regulation of early vertebrate development, connecting glucose, cholesterol and steroid hormone metabolism with early embryonic cell movements.

p-Ezrin (Thr567) regulates Hippo pathway and Yap in liver

Project description:It has been shown that up regulation activity of CD81(TAPA-1, the portal of entry of Hepatitis C virus) by agonistic antibody results in phosphorylation of Ezrin. We have previously shown that in liver, Ezrin phosphorylation occurs via Syk kinase, causing suppression of hippo intensity, therefore increases sequential Yap activity. The opposite occurs when Glypican-3 (GPC3) or E2 protein of HCV bind to CD81. Mice over-expressing GPC3 in hepatocytes have decreased p-Ezrin(Thr567) and Yap, increased Hippo activity and suppressed liver regeneration. The role of Ezrin in these processes has been speculated, but not proven. We now provide dynamic picture of Ezrin regulates Hippo pathway and Yap. Forced expression of plasmids expressing mutant Ezrin (T567D) (which mimics p-Ezrin(Thr567)) suppressed Hippo activity and activated Yap signaling. And this mutant Ezrin drive more cell proliferation to cell division through up regulated Yap activity in vitro and in vivo. CD81 loses expression, while p-Ezrin(Thr567) increases in JM1 and JM2 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Administration with compound NSC668394, a characterized p-Ezrin(Thr567) antagonist, caused significant decrease in HCC cell proliferation. We additionally present evidence that pEzrin(T567) is also controlled by EGFR and MET. Conclusions: Ezrin phosphorylation, mediated by CD81 associated Syk kinase, is directly involved in regulation of Hippo pathway, Yap levels and growth rates of normal and neoplastic hepatocytes. The finding has mechanistic and potentially therapeutic applications in understanding and regulating growth of hepatocytes and HCC and HCV pathogenesis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in GFP positive hepatocytes of FVB mice adminstration with EzrinT567D plasmids

A Phase 1/2 Trial of TC-510 In Patients With Advanced Mesothelin-Expressing Cancer

Project description:TC-510 is a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing two synthetic constructs: first, a single-domain antibody that recognizes human Mesothelin, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex and second, a PD-1:CD28 switch receptor, which is expressed on the surface of the T cell, independently from the TCR. The PD-1:CD28 switch receptor comprises the PD-1 extracellular domain fused to the CD28 intracellular domain via a transmembrane domain. Thus, the switch is designed to produce a costimulatory signal upon engagement with PD-L1 on cancer cells.
