Trained to respond: Signal-level modifications of endosomal TLRs

ABSTRACT: Cells can modify their future behavior based on prior exposures, a phenomenon known as cellular adaptation. In innate immunity, such adaptive responses are critical for fine-tuning host defense, enabling trained immunity or tolerance. These states have been largely attributed to long-lasting epigenetic or metabolic reprogramming. Whether prior microbial encounters can rapidly lower receptor signaling thresholds to selectively enhance responsiveness of individual innate immune receptors remains unknown.Here, we identify a previously unrecognized, non-genetic form of cellular adaptation. We show that TLR4 activation by LPS, while inducing classical endotoxin tolerance, simultaneously primes macrophages for enhanced responses to subsequent activation of the RNA sensor TLR7. Because TLR4 and TLR7 use the same signaling machinery, this indicates that they are selectively reprogrammed in this process. TLR7 training requires type I interferons and is marked by a strong increase in Myddosome assemblies at endosomal membranes, without changes in TLR7 abundance or ligand uptake. These findings reveal that innate immune training can be rapidly encoded at the level of receptor-proximal signaling, linking microbial priming to enhanced nucleic acid immunity and potentially to TLR7-driven autoimmunity in genetically predisposed individuals.

Mutant Huntingtin impairs neurodevelopment in human brain organoids through CHCHD2-mediated neurometabolic failure

Project description:Expansion of the poly-glutamine (Q) tract in the protein Huntingtin (HTT) causes the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington’s disease (HD). Emerging evidence suggests that mutant HTT (mHTT) disrupts brain development. To gain mechanistic insights into the neurodevelopmental impact of human mHTT, we engineered induced pluripotent stem cells to introduce a 70Q expansion or remove the poly-Q tract. mHTT introduction caused aberrant development of cerebral organoids with loss of neural progenitor organization. The early neurodevelopmental signature of mHTT highlighted the dysregulation of coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2), which is involved in mitochondrial integrated stress response. CHCHD2 repression was associated with abnormal mitochondrial morpho-dynamics and elevated resting energy expenditure. Elimination of the poly-Q tract reverted CHCHD2 expression and mitochondrial defects. Hence, mHTT-mediated disruption of human neurodevelopment is paralleled by aberrant neurometabolic programming mediated by dysregulation of CHCHD2, which could then represent a target of early intervention for HD.

Species-specific metabolic reprogramming in human and mouse microglia during inflammatory pathway induction

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of the immune cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. This metabolic process involves a switch from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)to glycolysis, or alterations in other metabolic pathways. However, most of the experimental findings have been acquired in murine immune cells and little is known about the metabolic reprogramming of human microglia. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic and metabolic profiles of mouse and iPSC-derived human microglia challenged with the TLR4 agonist LPS. We found that both species displayed a metabolic shift and an overall increased glycolytic gene signature in response to LPS treatment. The metabolic reprogramming was characterized by the upregulation of hexokinases in mouse microglia and phosphofructokinases in human microglia. This study provides the first direct comparison of energy metabolism between mouse and human microglia, highlighting the species-specific pathways involved in immunometabolism and the importance of considering these differences in translational research.

Identification of potential interactors of NKS1 and QUA1

Project description:Adjacent plant cells are connected by specialized cell wall regions, called middle lamellae, which influence critical agricultural characteristics, including fruit ripening and organ abscission. Middle lamellae are enriched in pectin polysaccharides, specifically homogalacturonan (HG). Pectins are made in the Golgi apparatus by the coordinated action of transporters and enzymes. Here, in this project, we identify a plant-specific Arabidopsis DUF1068 protein, called NKS1/ELMO4, that is required for middle lamellae integrity and cell adhesion. We did an immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) analysis to identify potential interactors of NKS1. And we also performed an IP-MS analysis of QUA1, which is one of the interactors of NKS1.

TamL is a key player of the outer membrane homeostasis in Bacteroidetes.

Project description:In Proteobacteria, the outer membrane protein TamA and the inner membrane-anchored protein TamB form the Translocation and Assembly Module (TAM) complex, which facilitates the transport of autotransporters, virulence factors, and likely lipids across the two membranes. In Bacteroidetes, TamB co-occurs with TamL, a TamA-like lipoprotein with a lipid modification at its N-terminus that likely anchors it to the outer membrane. This structural difference suggests that TamL may have a distinct function compared to the TamA homologue in Proteobacteria. However, the role of TAM in bacterial phyla other than Proteobacteria remains unexplored. Our study aimed to elucidate the functional importance of TamL in Flavobacterium johnsoniae, an environmental Bacteroidetes. Unlike its homologues in Proteobacteria, we found that TamL and TamB are essential in F. johnsoniae. Through genetic, phenotypic, proteomic, and lipidomic analyses, we discovered that TamL depletion severely compromises outer membrane integrity, as evidenced by reduced cell viability, altered cell shape, increased susceptibility to membrane-disrupting agents, and elevated levels of outer membrane lipoproteins. Notably, we did not observe any impact on outer membrane lipid composition. Via pull-down protein assays, we confirmed that TamL interacts with TamB in F. johnsoniae, likely forming the TAM complex. Furthermore, our in silico analysis revealed that the presence of TamL and TamB monocistronic genes is a shared genetic feature among Bacteroidetes members, including the human pathogen Capnocytophaga canimorsus where we confirmed the essentiality of the TamL and TamB homologs. To our knowledge, this study is the first to provide functional insights into a TAM subunit beyond Proteobacteria.

Quantitative proteomics and RNA-sequencing of mouse liver endothelial cells identify novel regulators of BMP6 by iron

Project description:Iron induces hepcidin by activating bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)6-SMAD signaling. Liver endothelial cells (LECs) produce BMP6, but the molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. To address this, we performed proteomics and RNA-sequencing on LECs from iron-adequate and iron-loaded mice. Gene set enrichment analysis identified transcription factors activated by high iron, including Nrf-2, which was previously reported to contribute to BMP6 regulation, and proto-oncogene c-Jun (encoded by Jun). Jun knockdown blocked Bmp6, but not Nrf-2 pathway, induction by iron in LEC cultures. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation of mouse livers showed iron-dependent c-Jun binding to predicted sites in Bmp6 regulatory regions. Finally, c-Jun inhibitor blunted induction of Bmp6 and hepcidin, but not Nrf-2 activity, in iron-loaded mice. However, Bmp6 expression and iron parameters were unchanged in endothelial Jun knockout mice. Our data suggest that c-Jun participates in iron-mediated BMP6 regulation independent of Nrf-2, though the mechanisms may be redundant and/or multifactorial.

HeLa cell protein interactome of polyamine affinity-based probes.

Project description:HeLa cells were incubated with affinity-based probes designed as synthetic analogs of endogenous metabolites: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, while a monoamine compound served as a control. Probe-protein interactions were captured in situ using UV-induced crosslinking. After cell lysis, biorthogonal ligation and affinity purification of the probe-conjugated proteins were carried out. These proteins were digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were labeled with TMT. Proteins that showed enrichment in samples treated with polyamine probes, compared to those treated with the monoamine control, were identified as polyamine-binding proteins.

GCLM lactylation mediated by ACAT2 promotes ferroptosis resistance in KRASG12D-mutant cancer

Project description:KRAS mutation activates multiple intracellular signalling pathways, leading to tumour development and progression. However, whether KRAS mutations are involved in regulating ferroptosis in cancer and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we constructed stable KRASWT and KRASG12D-mutant cell lines by transfecting wild-type (WT) or G12D plasmids into original KRAS WT cells and detected their cell viability under the treatment of ferroptosis inducer RSL3 or erastin. We found compared with WT cells, KRASG12D-mutated pancreatic and colorectal cancer cells presented greater viability and less cell death, along with lower levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and fewer damaged mitochondria, suggesting that the G12D mutation confers resistance to ferroptosis. Moreover, we found that KRASG12D mutated cancer cells demonstrated increased glycolysis and elevated lactate production, which was dependent on MEK-ERK-mediated L-lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) phosphorylation. Importantly, lactate supplementation in WT cells also resulted in ferroptosis resistance, indicating that G12D mutation-induced resistance to ferroptosis may be linked to lactate production. Mechanistically, G12D mutation-derived lactate accumulation induces Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) lactylation, a process catalysed by Acetyl-CoA Acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2). Inhibition of GCLM lactylation either through the mutation of the lactylation site or by knockdown of ACAT2 diminished the enzymatic activity of Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) and suppressed Glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Ultimately, we found that ACAT2 knockdown can overcomes ferroptosis resistance in G12D-mutated cancer models in vivo. Thus, our study reveals a novel role for the G12D mutation in regulating GCLM lactylation and ferroptosis. Targeting GCLM lactylation may represent a promising strategy for overcoming ferroptosis resistance.

Wheat and Arabidopsis employ different strategies to optimize the adjustment of photosynthesis to fluctuating light under drought stress

Project description:Drought is a major cause of crop yield loss worldwide. Plants can adopt different mechanisms to survive under water deficit, where stomatal closure leads to CO2 limitation. This requires increased dissipation of light energy as heat by non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), changes in the structural configuration of light-harvesting complexes, or changes in the mode of photosynthetic electron flow (i.e. linear vs. cyclic). Under field conditions, where light intensity can change rapidly, this problem becomes even more challenging. Particularly the slow release from photoprotection (NPQ relaxation) was recently shown to cause significant loss of potential yield. We analyzed the acclimation of two different wheat varieties and compared their molecular acclimation strategy to Arabidopsis under moderate drought stress at a slow soil dehydration rate, mimicking realistic field conditions. We monitored their photosynthetic activity under fluctuating light intensities and integrated functional and structural data, based on a detailed analysis of photosynthetic parameters combined with biochemical analysis and unbiased shot-gun proteomics. Contrary to previous models based on the damage of photosynthetic complexes as consequence of drought, we found that plants actively preserve and fine-tune their photosynthetic machinery under drought to adjust the photosynthetic electron transfer to fast changes of light intensity. Strikingly, Arabidopsis and wheat use different molecular strategies for this acclimation. While clear differences in NPQ relaxation and phosphorylation levels of photosynthetic proteins were observed in wheat, Arabidopsis modified the light energy distribution among photosynthetic complexes without changing PSII-LHCII phosphorylation. The fine-tuning of NPQ relaxation can therefore represent a potential trait for crop breeding.

Candida albicans induces monocyte training via epigenetic programming through a dectin 1-dependent pathway

Project description:Non-specific protective effects against reinfection have been described following infection with Candida albicans. Here we show that mice defective in functional T and B lymphocytes were protected against reinfection with C. albicans in a monocyte-dependent manner. C. albicans and beta glucans induced functional programming of monocytes, leading to enhanced cytokine production in vivo and in vitro. The training required the beta glucan receptor dectin 1 and the non-canonical Raf 1 pathway. Monocyte training by beta-glucans was mediated by epigenetic mechanisms through genome-wide changes in histone trimethylation at H3K4. Pathway analysis showed specific induction of epigenetic changes in genes of innate immunity. The functional programming of monocytes, reminiscent of similar properties of NK cells, has been termed M-bM-^@M-^\trained immunityM-bM-^@M-^] and may be employed for the design of improved vaccination strategies. Chromatin-IP at day7 followed by highthroughput sequencing to look at the differences in H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 binding in Monocytes either cultured in RPMI only versus those trained for 24hrs with beta glucan. Additionally expression analysis was performed by doing strandspecific RNAseq also for both unstimulated and beta glucan trained monocytes for correlating the histone modification changes with the expression changes. Biological replicates were generated from independent samples for H3K4me3 and RNAseq. Additional H3K4me3 ChIP-seq assays were performed for day0 untreated, 24hrs control and beta glucan trained monocytes. H3K4me3 ChIP-seq was also performed for Mouse macrophages both saline(control) and low dose Candida treated.
