EROS is a selective chaperone regulating the phagocyte NADPH oxidase and purinergic signalling.

ABSTRACT: The phagocyte NADPH oxidase is critical for host defence, and EROS (Essential for Reactive Oxygen Species) protein is indispensable for expression of its gp91phox-p22phox heterodimer. EROS deficiency in humans is a recently described cause of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), but its mechanism of action remains unknown. We show EROS binds the immature 58kDa gp91phox directly prior to glycosylation and heme incorporation, thus preventing its degradation. EROS interacts with the oligosaccharyl transferase complex (OST) present at the endoplasmic reticulum. Inhibition of the OST complex suppresses EROS-mediated stabilisation of the 58kDa, providing insight into the early steps of gp91phox biosynthesis. EROS also regulates the purine receptors P2X7 and P2X1 through direct interactions. Accordingly, lack of EROS results in markedly abnormal P2X7 signalling, inflammasome activation and T cell responses. The loss of both the phagocyte respiratory burst and P2X7 signalling lead to resistance to influenza infection. Our work identifies EROS as the first described highly selective chaperone controlling key proteins in innate and adaptive immunity. It has profound implications for immune physiology, immunodeficiency and gene therapy.

Project description:Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation induces recovery in animal models of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Although the replacement of lost endogenous cells was originally proposed as the primary healing mechanism of NSC grafts, it is now clear that transplanted NSCs operate via multiple mechanisms, including the horizontal exchange of therapeutic cargoes to host cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are membrane particles trafficking nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites and metabolic enzymes, lipids, and entire organelles. However, the function and the contribution of these cargoes to the broad therapeutic effects of NSCs is yet to be fully understood. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an established feature of several inflammatory and degenerative CNS disorders, most of which are potentially treatable with exogenous stem cell therapeutics. Herein we investigated the hypothesis that NSCs release and traffic functional mitochondria via EVs to restore mitochondrial function in target cells. Untargeted proteomics revealed a significant enrichment of mitochondrial proteins spontaneously released by NSCs in EVs. Morphological and functional analyses confirmed the presence of ultrastructurally intact mitochondria within EVs with conserved membrane potential and respiration. We found that the transfer of these mitochondria from EVs to mtDNA-deficient L929 Rho 0 cells rescued mitochondrial function and increased Rho 0 cell survival. Furthermore, the incorporation of mitochondria from EVs into inflammatory mononuclear phagocytes restored normal mitochondrial dynamics and cellular metabolism and reduced the expression of proinflammatory markers in target cells. When transplanted in an animal model of multiple sclerosis, exogenous NSCs actively transferred mitochondria to mononuclear phagocytes and induced a significant amelioration of clinical deficits. Our data provide the first evidence that NSCs deliver functional mitochondria to target cells via EVs, paving the way for the development of novel (a)cellular approaches aimed at restoring mitochondrial dysfunction not only in multiple sclerosis, but also in degenerative neurological diseases.
