Project description:DICER has a well-characterized role in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNA) that are important for post-transcriptional gene regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that DICER also has several non-canonical functions beyond miRNA/siRNA biogenesis, for example in transcriptional gene silencing at the chromatin level, as well as in RNA degradation and maintenance of genomic integrity. We have shown that the function of DICER in germ cells is essential for normal spermatogenesis; male mice lacking DICER in postnatal male germ cells are infertile due to severe defects in haploid differentiation. To better understand the function of DICER in male germ cells, we immunoprecipitated DICER from juvenile mouse testes and performed mass spectrometric analysis to identify DICER-interacting proteins.

Project description:The adipose tissue plays an important role in controlling whole-body energy balance, and proper regulation of adipose tissue function is essential for metabolic health. In response to energy surplus, the adipose tissue needs to expand, which may lead to local areas of hypoxia within the tissue. This is thought to promote whole-body insulin resistance. Here we report that DICER, a key enzyme in the maturation of miRNAs and a potential marker of adipocyte health, is profoundly downregulated in mouse adipose tissue within the first week of high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, and this effect is sustained in response to long-term HFD feeding. The downregulation of DICER protein occurs in both mature adipocytes and in the stromal vascular cells. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF1α) facilitate ubiquitination of DICER to target it for autophagy-mediated degradation, and we show that DICER and HIF1α interact in adipose tissue after HFD feeding, which may signal for DICER degradation. Finally, despite reductions in DICER protein, we were not able to detect any differences in global miRNA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue of mice after one or three weeks of HFD-feeding. In conclusion, the nutritional challenge of HFD feeding in mice leads to a large reduction in adipose tissue DICER protein, which is induced by hypoxia during tissue expansion and mediated through an interaction with HIF1α.

Project description:Insulin resistance drives the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In liver, diacylglycerol (DAG) is a key mediator of lipid-induced insulin resistance. DAG activates protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε), which phosphorylates and inhibits the insulin receptor. In rats, a 3-day high fat diet produces hepatic insulin resistance through this mechanism, and knockdown of hepatic PKCε protects against high fat diet-induced hepatic insulin resistance. Here we employ a systems level approach to uncover additional signaling pathways involved in high fat diet-induced hepatic insulin resistance. We used quantitative phosphoproteomics to map global in vivo changes in hepatic protein phosphorylation in chow-fed, high fat-fed, and high fat-fed with PKCε knockdown rats to distinguish the impact of lipid- and PKCε-induced protein phosphorylation.

Project description:Dicer is an essential ribonuclease involved in the biogenesis of miRNA. Previous studies have reported that Dicer is dysregulated in multiple types of cancers. To investigate the downstream phosphoproteome of Dicer, we carried out phosphotyrosine profiling of the liver of Dicer knockout of mice. We employed antibody-based enrichment of phosphotyrosine containing peptides coupled with spike-in SILAC-based quantitation. Over 400 phosphoisites were identified in each condition while 290 phosphosites were quantitated in common. Amongst these, several key signaling molecules like receptor tyrosine kinase MET, MET, PDGFR, EPHA2, EPHB4 and IGF1R/INSR were hyperphosphorylated. Also, non-receptor tyrosine kinases of Src family and their downstream effector signaling partners including IRS2 and STAT3were found to be hyperphosphorylated. Our study indicates that there is significant alteration in the signaling pathways upon ablation of Dicer.

Project description:Although many in vitro studies have helped us understand how Dicer-2 is able to discriminate between different dsRNA substrate termini, much less is known about how this translates to the in vivo recognition of viral dsRNA. Indeed, Dicer-2 associates with several dsRNA-binding proteins (dsRBPs), which can modify its specificity for a substrate, however it remains unknown how Dicer-2 is able to recognize the protected termini of viral dsRNAs. Therefore, in order to study how the ribonucleoprotein network of Dicer-2 impacts antiviral immunity, we used an IP-MS approach to identify interactants of several fly lines expressing different versions of GFP:Dicer-2. By combining the global analysis of the Dicer-2 interactome with different line-specific analyses, we were able to both obtain a global overview of the partners of Dicer-2 in vivo, and study how this interactome was modulated by different factors such as the infection and/or the presence of different point mutations on the helicase or RNase III domains of GFP:Dicer-2. This allowed the identification of several new Dicer-2 interactants as well as new pro- and antiviral factors that had an impact on DCV infection. In addition, this work provides a resource composed of several candidates, available to the scientific community that can now be investigated further to gain a better understanding of the proteins involved in Dicer-2-mediated antiviral RNAi.

Project description:Partial lipodystrophy is characterized by abnormal fat distribution, impaired thermogenesis, systemic inflammation, and diminished DICER expression in adipose tissue. Using adipocyte-specific DICER-deficient models to mimic lipodystrophy, we identified early metabolic and inflammatory alterations that coincide with the onset of partial lipodystrophy. DICER deficiency in adipocytes impaired lipid metabolism, leading to increased release of saturated lipids and triglycerides into the medium while reducing the biosynthesis of anti-inflammatory lipids. These changes promoted a pro-inflammatory environment by reprogramming macrophages to release IL-1beta. Lipidomic analyses revealed reduced levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in DICER-deficient adipocytes, accompanied by increased expression of CYP450 enzymes linked to lipid degradation and reduced DHA biosynthesis. DHA supplementation mitigated the pro-inflammatory response triggered by conditioned media from DICER-deficient adipocytes.

Project description:The innate immune response against viruses mainly involves type I interferon (IFN) in mammalian cells. The exact contribution of the RNA silencing machinery remains to be established, but several recent studies indicate that the type III ribonuclease DICER can generate viral siRNAs in specific conditions. In addition, it has been proposed that type I IFN and RNA silencing could be mutually exclusive responses. In order to decipher the implication of DICER during infection of human cells with the Sindbis virus, we determined its interactome by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis. Our results show that human DICER specifically interacts with several double-stranded RNA binding proteins and helicases during viral infection. In particular, proteins such as DHX9, ADAR-1 and the protein kinase PKR are enriched with DICER in virus-infected cells. We validated the importance of the helicase domain of DICER in its interaction with PKR and showed that it has functional consequences for the cellular response to viral infection.

Project description:Adipose tissue dysfunction in obese humans is associated with disrupted metabolic homeostasis, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In a mouse model that has preserved insulin sensitivity despite increased adiposity, we used unbiased three-dimensional integration of proteome profiles, metabolic profiles, and gene regulatory networks to understand adipose tissue proteome-wide changes and their metabolic implications. Multiple-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and extended multiplexing TMT labeling (24 biological samples) was used to analyze proteomes of epididymal adipose tissues isolated from wildtype (Csf2+/+) and GM-CSF driven dendritic cell deficient (Csf2-/-) mice that were fed low fat, high fat, or high fat plus cholesterol diets for 8 weeks. The peripheral metabolic health (as measured by body weight, adiposity, plasma fasting glucose, insulin, triglycerides, phospholipids, total cholesterol levels, and glucose and insulin tolerance tests) deteriorated with diet for both genotypes, while mice lacking Csf2 were protected from insulin resistance. Regardless of diet, 30, mostly mitochondrial metabolism proteins participating in amino acid and branched chain amino acid pathways were altered, between Csf2-/- and Csf2+/+ mice. Tissue DHTKD1 levels were >4-fold upregulated and plasma 2-aminoadipoate (2-AA) levels were >2 fold reduced in Csf2-/- mice. GM-CSF driven dendritic cells play a detrimental role in insulin sensitivity via lysine metabolism involving Dhtkd1/2-AA axis.

Project description:Lipid overload and adipocyte dysfunction are key to the development of insulin resistance and can be induced by a high-fat diet. CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have been proposed as mediators between lipid overload and insulin resistance, but recent studies found decreased iNKT cell numbers and marginal effects of iNKT cell depletion on insulin resistance under high-fat diet conditions. Here, we focused on the role of iNKT cells under normal conditions. We showed that iNKT cell–deficient mice on a low-fat diet, considered a normal diet for mice, displayed a distinctive insulin resistance phenotype without overt adipose tissue inflammation. Insulin resistance was characterized by adipocyte dysfunction, including adipocyte hypertrophy, increased leptin, and decreased adiponectin levels. The lack of liver abnormalities in CD1d-null mice together with the enrichment of CD1d-restricted iNKT cells in both mouse and human adipose tissue indicated a specific role for adipose tissue–resident iNKT cells in the development of insulin resistance. Strikingly, iNKT cell function was directly modulated by adipocytes, which acted as lipid antigen-presenting cells in a CD1d-mediated fashion. Based on these findings, we propose that, especially under low-fat diet conditions, adipose tissue–resident iNKT cells maintain healthy adipose tissue through direct interplay with adipocytes and prevent insulin resistance. four samples
