Project description:The transcription factor NF-κB is the master regulator of the immune response but also regulates gene expression to influences cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. Inducible site-specific phosphorylation of NF-κB is critical for its activity and appears to be important in gene specific transcriptional control. Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) is a nuclear protein that forms sub-nuclear structures termed nuclear bodies associated with transcriptionally active genomic regions. We demonstrate that PML promotes NF-κB- induced transcriptional responses by promoting the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 at key regulatory sites. Our findings demonstrate a critical role for PML in promoting NF-κB transcriptional activity through signal induced post-translational modifications.

Project description:The interaction of lung epithelial and lung mesenchymal cells was investigated in a novel co-culture model of human pulmonary fibrosis. Remarkably, co-culturing both cell types induced cell-type-specific responses, including fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which were fully dependent on direct epithelial / fibroblast contact. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to evaluate the transcriptional fate of the normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLF) and normal human bronchiolar epithelial cells (NHBE) during the course of co-cultivation, and compare the single cell profiles with their counterpart isolated from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). NHLF and normal NHBE cells were grown as co-cultures, cell suspensions were collected at the time points t = 0h, 3h and 18h and analyzed by single-cell RNA-seq on a Chromium Platform. Eight samples were sequenced, resulting in a total of xx single cell transcription profiles.

Project description:Post-translational modification of NF-κB subunits provides a mechanism to differentially regulate their activity in response to the many stimuli that can induce this pathway. However, the physiological significance of these modifications is largely unknown and it remains unclear if these have a critical role in the normal and pathological functions of NF-κB in vivo. Among these, phosphorylation of the RelA(p65) Thr505 residue has been described as an important regulator of NF-κB activity in cell lines but its physiological significance was not known. Therefore, to learn more about the role of this pathway in vivo, we generated a knockin mouse with a RelA T505A mutation. Unlike RelA knockout mice, the RelA T505A mice develop normally but exhibit aberrant hepatocyte proliferation following liver partial hepatectomy or damage resulting from carbon tetrachloride treatment. Consistent with these effects, RelA T505A mice exhibit earlier onset of cancer in the N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) model of hepatocellular carcinoma. This data reveals a critical pathway controlling NF-κB function in the liver that acts to suppress tumour-promoting activities of RelA.

Project description:NF-κB has an essential role in innate immune response and inflammation and is involved in cancer development and progression. We apply the SEC-PCP-SILAC method incorporating metabolic labeling, size exclusion chromatography and protein correlation profiling to construct a complex network of interactome rearrangement in response to NF-κB modulation in breast cancer cells. Our interaction network represents a complex insight into the dynamics of MCF-7 protein interactome associated with NF-κB pathway. Our dataset could serve as a basis for future studies characterizing role of NF-κB in breast cancer cellular pathways. This PRIDE project includes results from SILAC labeled and label-free replicates from the SEC-PCP-SILAC analysis of protein complexes in MCF-7 cells with inhibited and uninhibited NF-κB pathway, results from the immunoprecipitation experiment aimed at interaction partners of NF-κB factor RELA, analysis of total proteome after NF-κB inhibition, and results from SEC fractionation of untreated and unlabeled MCF-7 cells.

Project description:Lysine or histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl groups from lysine residues of numerous proteins, thereby regulating their function, activity and localization. Putative HDAC6 substrate sites, uncovered in the acetylome of HDAC6 knockdown cells, served as basis for the design of an HDAC6-trapping peptide library containing hydroxamic acids. Most probes enriched HDAC6 stronger from cell lysates than HDAC1. Probe sequences derived from α-tubulin, CRTC3, HSP90 and PPIA were confirmed as HDAC6 substrates and proteomics profiling of the corresponding trapping probes revealed preferential enrichment of HDAC6 together with known and previously unknown binding proteins. These included proteins of the NF-κB signaling complex which were independently confirmed as HDAC6 binders. NF-κB protein p50 was deacetylated by HDAC6 counteracting enhanced transcription of NF-κB target genes induced by p50 acetylation. These findings indicate a potential anti-inflammatory function of HDAC6 in NF-κB signaling.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human control and Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS) fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Somatic cell reprogramming involves rejuvenation of adult cells and relies on the ability to erase age-associated molecular marks. Accordingly, reprogramming efficiency declines with ageing, and age-associated features such as genetic instability, cell senescence or telomere shortening negatively affect this process. However, the regulatory mechanisms that constitute age-associated barriers for cell reprogramming remain largely unknown. Here, by using cells from patients with premature ageing, we demonstrate that NF-κB activation is a critical barrier for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in ageing. We show that NF-κB repression occurs during cell reprogramming towards a pluripotent state. Conversely, ageing-associated NF-κB hyperactivation impairs generation of iPSCs by eliciting reprogramming repressors DOT1L and YY1, reinforcing cell senescence signals and down-regulating pluripotency genes. We also show that genetic and pharmacological NF-κB inhibitory strategies significantly increase the reprogramming efficiency of fibroblasts from Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS) and Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) patients, as well as from normal aged donors. Finally, we demonstrate that DOT1L inhibition in vivo ameliorates the accelerated ageing phenotype and extends lifespan in a progeroid animal model. Collectively, our results provide evidence for a novel role of NF-κB in the control of cell fate transitions and reinforce the interest of studying age-associated molecular impairments to implement cell reprogramming methodologies, and to identify new targets of rejuvenation strategies. Control and NGPS fibroblasts were reprogrammed. RNA was extracted and transcriptional profiling was obtained with GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays.

Project description:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.

Project description:Over activation of NF-κB has close relationship with hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, by manipulating NF-κB activity with its recognized activator TNFα and using ChIP-seq and RNA-seq techniques, we identified 699 NF-κB direct target genes (DTGs) in a widely used HCC cell line, HepG2, including 399 activated and 300 repressed genes. In these NF-κB DTGs, 216 genes (126 activated and 90 repressed genes) are among the current HCC gene signature. Functional annotation revealed that NF-κB DTGs in HepG2 cell are mainly related with many typical NF-κB-related biological processes, such as immune system process, response to stress, response to stimulus, defense response and signaling pathways of NF-kappa B. Some NF-κB DTGs are also involved in Hepatitis C and B pathways. The NF-κB DTGs were further confirmed by detecting the NF-κB binding and expression of 14 genes with ChIP-PCR and RT-PCR.
