Effects of pro-opiomelanocortin neuropeptides on immunological pathways mediated by the melanocortin 3 receptor revealed by label-free quantitative thermal proteome profiling

ABSTRACT: In a thermal proteome profiling experiment we have identified 300 unique proteins that become thermally stabilized or destabilized downstream of signal activation of the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) when expressed in HEK293 cells. Upon stimulation with either one of the endogenous MC3R-agonists ACTH, alpha-, or gamma-MSH, derived from the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) prohormone, we found that the majority of these thermally affected proteins is related to immunoregulatory processes including signaling cascades up- and downstream of the key transcription factors IRF, STAT and NFkappaB. Here, we have developed a computational pipeline that allows assessment of thermal melting curves from data obtained with label-free quantitation from ion-mobility enhanced LC-MS data. It enables differential expression analysis within the data obtained from a thermal proteome profiling experiment, since all relative abundance information is retained. We found with principal component analysis that the three POMC-peptides act in very distinguished ways on the expression pattern in the MC3R-expressing HEK293 cells. This is consistent with our findings from thermal proteome profiling analysis where we identified 142, 107 and 95 proteins to be thermally affected by ACTH, alpha- and gamma-MSH, respectively, with only 4 proteins identified across all three agonists, and an additional 36 proteins shared pairwise between the agonists. Interestingly, we found proteins involved in immune responses to be enriched according to gene set enrichment analysis with Reactome pathways. As a result of these findings, we inferred transcription factor activities of the involved thermally affected transcription factors using Bayesian analysis based on differential expression data. Our findings on transcription factor activity were validated with patterns of peptide phosphorylation abundance analysis. These combined efforts revealed that all three agonists act via the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway but that there are differences in the further downstream affected pathways and the identities of the thermally affected pathways proteins in particular kinases.

Thermal proteome profiling with label-free quantitation using ion-mobility-enhanced LC-MS offers versatile data sets, providing information on protein differential expression, thermal stability, and the activities of transcription factors. We developed a multidimensional data analysis workflow for label-free quantitative thermal proteome profiling (TPP) experiments that incorporates the aspects of gene set enrichment analysis, differential protein expression analysis, and inference of transcript ...[more]

Project description:We used microarrays to investigate the transcriptome of 6 days old male flies exposed to either 15 or 25 C development at either constant or fluctuating temperatures. Further, we investigated gene expression at benign (20C) and high (35C) temperatures With global climate change temperature means and variability are expected to increase. Thus, exposures to elevated temperatures are expected to become an increasing challenge for terrestrial ectotherm populations. While evolutionary adaptation seems to be constrained or proceed at an insufficient pace, many populations are expected to rely on phenotypic plasticity (thermal acclimation) for coping with the predicted changes. However, the effects of fluctuating temperature on the molecular mechanisms and the implications for heat tolerance are not well understood. To understand and predict consequences of climate change it is important to investigate how different components of the thermal environment, including fluctuating thermal conditions, contribute to changes in thermal acclimation. In this study we investigated the impact of mean and diurnal fluctuation of temperature on heat tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster and on the underlying molecular mechanisms in adult male flies. Flies from two constant and two ecologically relevant fluctuating temperature regimes were tested for their critical thermal maxima (CTmax) and associated global gene expression profiles at benign and thermally stressful conditions. Both temperature parameters contributed independently to the thermal acclimation, with regard to heat tolerance as well as the global gene expression profile. Although the independent transcriptional effects caused by fluctuations were relatively small, they are likely to be essential for our understanding of thermal adaptation. Thus, high temperature acclimation ability might not be measured correctly and might even be underestimated at constant temperatures. Our data suggests that the particular mechanisms affected by thermal fluctuations are related to phototransduction and environmental sensing. Thus genes and pathways involved in those processes are likely to be of major importance in a future warmer and more fluctuating climate.

Project description:Photosystem II (PSII) is the most thermally sensitive component of photosynthesis. Thermal acclimation of this complex activity is likely to be critically important to the ability of photosynthetic organisms to tolerate temperature changes in the environment. We have analysed gene expression using whole-genome microarrays and monitored alterations in physiology during acclimation of PSII to elevated growth temperature in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. PSII acclimation is complete within 480 minutes of exposure to elevated temperature and is associated with a highly dynamic transcriptional response. 176 genes were identified and classified into seven distinct response profile groups. Response profiles suggest the existence of an early transient phase and a sustained phase to the acclimation response. The early phase was characterised by induction of general stress response genes, including heat shock proteins, which are likely to influence PSII thermal stability. The sustained phase consisted of acclimation-specific alterations that are involved in other cellular processes. Sustained responses included genes involved in phycobillisome structure and modification, photosynthesis, respiration, lipid metabolism and motility. Approximately 60% of genes with sustained altered expression levels have no known function. The potential role of differentially expressed genes in thermotolerance and acclimation is discussed. We have characterised the acclimation physiology of selected gene ‘knockouts’ to elucidate possible gene function in the response. All mutants show lower PSII rates under normal growth conditions. Basal PSII thermotolerance was affected by mutations in clpB1, cpcC2, hspA, htpG and slr1674. Final PSII thermotolerance was affected by mutations in cpcC2, hik34, hspA and hypA1, suggesting that these gene products play roles in long-term thermal acclimation of PSII. Gene expression levels were compared during a time-course (up to 8 hours) of thermal acclimation (from 25C to 38C) of a wild-type strain grown under continuous illumination and bubbled with CO2 -enriched air. Up to four independent biological replicates were generated and analysed. Each array: replicate matched time-point vs. 0hr control.
