Project description:Programmed death-ligand 1, PD-L1 (CD274) facilitates immune evasion and exerts pro-survival functions in cancer cells. Here, we report a new mechanism whereby internalization of PD-L1 in response to alterations of bioactive lipid/ceramide metabolism by ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) induces sonic-hedgehog (Shh) and TGF- receptor signaling to enhance tumor metastasis in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), exhibiting immunotherapy resistance. Mechanistically, data showed that internalized PD-L1 interacts with an RNA-binding protein Caprin-1 to stabilize Shh/TGFBR1/Wnt mRNAs to induce -catenin signaling and TNBC growth/metastasis, consistent with increased infiltration of FoxP3+ T regs and resistance to immunotherapy. While mammary tumors developed in MMTV-PyMT/CerS4-/- were highly metastatic, targeting the Shh/PD-L1 axis using Sonidegib and anti-PD-L1 antibody vastly decreased tumor growth and metastasis, consistent with the inhibition of PD-L1 internalization and Shh/Wnt signaling, restoring anti-tumor immune response. These data, validated in clinical samples and databases, provide a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy to improve immunotherapy responses in metastatic TNBCs.

Project description:The N-terminal three zinc finger motifs of PARP1 are evolutionarily conserved in multicellular organism。However, during apoptosis, human PARP1 is mainly cleaved by caspase 3 at D214. As a result, the truncated PARP1 loses two N-terminal zinc finger motifs and only contains the third zinc finger motif, the BRCT domain, the WGR domain and the C-terminal catalytic domain. Interestingly, when we explored the domain architecture of PARP1 in other organisms, we found that similar to human tPARP1, PARP1 orthologs in several lower organisms do not have the N-terminal two zinc fingers or even they lack the third zinc finger motif. It indicates that even without the first two zinc finger motifs, tPARP1 may still catalyze ADP-ribosylation and play an important role in certain biological processes. To reveal the biological function of tPARP1, we performed tandem affinity purification and searched for the possible substrates.

Project description:In eukaryotes, trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9) is associated with transcriptional silencing of transposable elements (TEs). In drosophila ovaries, this heterochromatic repressive mark is thought to be deposited by SetDB1 on TE genomic loci after the initial recognition of nascent transcripts by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) loaded on the Piwi protein. Here, we show that the nucleosome remodeler Mi-2, in complex with its partner MEP-1, forms a subunit that is transiently associated, in a MEP-1 C-terminus-dependent manner, with known Piwi interactors, including a recently reported SUMO ligase Su(var)2-10. Together with the histone deacetylase Rpd3, this module is involved in the piRNA-dependent TE silencing, correlated with H3K9 deacetylation and trimethylation. Therefore. drosophila piRNA-mediated transcriptional silencing involves three epigenetic effectors, a remodeler, Mi-2, an eraser, Rpd3 and a writer, SetDB1, in addition to the Su(var)2-10 SUMO ligase.

Project description:The formation of elastic fibers is active only in the perinatal period. How elastogenesis is developmentally regulated is not fully understood. Citrullination is a unique form of post-translational modification catalyzed by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADIPADs), including PADIPAD1-4. Its physiological role is largely unknown. By using an unbiased proteomic approach of lung tissues, we discovered that FBLN5 and LTBP4, two key elastogenic proteins, were temporally modified in mouse and human lungs. We further demonstrated that PADIPAD2 citrullinated FBLN5 preferentially in young lungs compared to adult lungs. Genetic ablation of PADIPAD2 resulted in attenuated elastogenesis in vitro and age-dependent emphysema in vivo. Mechanistically, citrullination protected FBLN5 from proteolysis and subsequent inactivation of its elastogenic activity. Furthermore, citrullinated but not native FBLN5 partially rescued in vitro elastogenesis in the absence of PADIPAD activity. Our data uncover a novel function of citrullination, namely promoting elastogenesis, and provide additional insights to how elastogenesis is regulated.

Project description:Citrullination is the conversion of arginine-to-citrulline by protein arginine deiminases (PADs), whose dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of cancers and autoimmune diseases. Consistent with the ability of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to induce post-translational modifications of cellular proteins to gain a survival advantage, we show that HCMV infection of primary human fibroblasts triggers PAD-mediated citrullination of several host proteins, and that this activity promotes viral fitness. Citrullinome analysis reveals significant changes in deimination levels of both cellular and viral proteins, with interferon (IFN)-inducible protein IFIT1 being the most heavily deiminated one. As genetic depletion of IFIT1 strongly enhances HCMV growth, and in vitro IFIT1 citrullination impairs its ability to bind to 5’-pppRNA, we propose that viral-induced IFIT1 citrullination is a novel mechanism of HCMV evasion from host antiviral resistance. Overall, our findings point to a crucial role of citrullination in subverting cellular responses to viral infection.

Project description:Controlling fatty acid uptake, lipid production and storage, and metabolism of lipid droplets (LDs), is closely related to lipid homeostasis, adipocyte hypertrophy and obesity. We report here that stomatin, a major constituent of lipid rafts, participates in adipogenesis and adipocyte maturation by modulating related signaling pathways. In adipocyte-like cells, increased stomatin promotes LD growth or enlargements by facilitating LD-LD fusion, as well as fatty acid uptake from extracellular environment by recruiting effector molecules, such as FAT/CD36 translocase, to lipid rafts to promote internalization of fatty acids. Stomatin transgenic mice fed with high-fat diets exhibit obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic impairments; however, such phenotypes are not seen if feeding the transgenic animals with regular diets. Inhibitions of stomatin by gene knockdown or OB-1 pharmacological treatments inhibit adipogenic differentiation and LD growth through downregulation of PPARγ pathway. Effects of stomatin on PPARγ involve ERK signaling; however, an alternate pathway may also exist.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging and a high risk of cardiovascular complications. However, the underlying mechanisms of cardiac complications of this syndrome are not fully understood. This study modeled HGPS using cardiomyocytes (CM) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from a patient with HGPS and characterized the biophysical, morphological, and molecular changes found in these CM compared to CM derived from a healthy donor. Electrophysiological recordings revealed that the HGPS CM was functional and had normal electrophysiological properties. Electron tomography showed nuclear morphology alteration and 3D reconstruction of electron tomography images indicated structural abnormalities in HGPS CM mitochondria. High-resolution respirometry with isolated CM derived from three distinct cellular differentiations suggests that HGPS-CM had a tendency of lower oxygen consumption capacity. However, there was no difference in mitochondrial content as measured by Mitotracker. Telomere length was measured using qRT-PCR, and no difference was found in either the iPSCs or the CM from HGPS when compared to the control. Proteomic analysis was carried out in a high-resolution system using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The proteomics data show distinct group separations and protein expression differences between HGPS and control-CM, highlighting changes in ribosomal, TCA cycle, and amino acid biosynthesis, among other modifications. Our findings show that iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from a Progeria Syndrome patient have significant changes in mitochondrial morphology and protein expression, implying novel mechanisms underlying premature cardiac aging
