Project description:Aging involves morphological and functional changes across different organs, but how these changes are linked among the different organs remains to be elucidated. Here, we uncover a central role of platelets in systemic aging. In aged mice, the levels of platelet-secreted pro-inflammatory factors (PSPF) increased greatly in the serum and platelets, leading to a diffuse increase of platelet infiltration in brain, liver, lung, kidney, and aortic root. The RNA-binding protein HuR/ELAVL1, a major regulator of RNA metabolism, promoted the production of PSPF in platelets. Platelet-specific deletion of HuR reduced the expression of PSPF in platelets, alleviated platelet infiltration in brain, liver, lung, kidney, and aortic root, and delayed systemic aging. By using single-nucleus sequencing, platelet-specific HuR ablation was found to alleviate p53 and pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in liver, lung, and brain tissues in aged mice. Our findings highlight a role of platelets in coordinating aging traits across organs.

Project description:Hepatocyte-specific HuR knockout mice exhibit a lean MAFLD (metabolic-associated fatty liver disease)-like phenotype in response to high-fat diet. However, if this phenotype further impacts the development of atherosclerosis (AS) remains to be studied. Here, we report that HuR represses the production of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and taurocholic acid (TCA) in the liver through repressing the expression of CYP7A1, the rate-limiting enzyme for the central pathway of BA production. HuR destabilizes Cyp7a1 mRNA by associating with its 3’UTR. In response to high-cholesterol diet (HCD), hepatic HuR increases the expression of CYP7A1 in the liver, thereby increasing the levels of CDCA and TCA in the liver and serum, activating HuR-PSPF (platelet-secreted pro-inflammatory factors) regulatory process, and aggravating HCD-induced AS in APOE (-/-) mice. Administration of TCA and CDCA activates HuR-PSPF regulatory process and at the same time aggravates HCD-induced AS. Platelet HuR ablation mitigates the effect of hepatic HuR ablation in aggravating HCD-induced AS. In the liver tissues from patients with lean MAFLD, the reduction of HuR expression, the induction of CYP7A1 expression and the activation of HuR-PFPF regulatory process, are concurrently observed. Our findings suggest an important role of hepatic HuR-CYP7A1 regulatory process in the development of AS in lean MAFLD-like lipid dysregulation.

Project description:The limited infiltration of tumor-specific T cells into the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment (TME) is hypothesized to limit immunotherapy responses. The RNA-binding protein, HuR (ELAVL1), is over-abundant in PDAC, and its expression negatively correlates with T cell infiltration. In the immunocompetent Kras-p53-Cre (KPC) model, we found HuR depletion impairs tumor growth. To investigate the impact of the immune cells on tumor growth, we analyzed the infiltrated immune population in tumors and found that HuR-depleted tumors had increased T cell infiltration and activation. Mechanistically, HuR mediated stabilization of mTOR pathway and enhanced PDAC nutrient consumption, which impaired local T-cell antitumor function. We found that HuR suppression of antitumor immunity has profound consequences, as HuR-deficient tumors are sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade, while isogenic, wildtype tumors are resistant. These findings describe a novel role of HuR in PDAC facilitating tumor immune suppression in the PDAC TME by inhibiting T cell infiltration and function.

Project description:Background and Aims: Recent studies have implicated platelets, particularly α-granules, in the development of steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the specific mechanisms involved have yet to be determined. Notably, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a major component of the platelet α-granules released during platelet activation. The role of platelet-derived TSP1 in NASH remains unknown and was investigated in this study. Approach and Results: Platelet-specific TSP1 knockout mice (TSP1Δpf4) and their wild type littermates (TSP1F/F) were used. NASH was induced by feeding the mice a diet enriched in fat, sucrose, fructose, and cholesterol (AMLN diet). A human liver NASH organoid model was also employed. Although TSP1 deletion in platelets did not affect diet-induced steatosis, TSP1Δpf4 mice exhibited attenuated NASH and liver fibrosis, accompanied by improvements in plasma glucose and lipid homeostasis. Moreover, intrahepatic platelet accumulation, activation and chemokine production were reduced in TSP1Δpf4 mice, which was correlated with decreased immune cell infiltration into the liver. Consequently, this leads to diminished pro-inflammatory signaling in the liver and mitigated the progression of NAFLD. Moreover, in vitro data revealed that co-culturing TSP1-deficient platelets in a human liver NASH organoid model attenuated hepatic stellate cell activation and NASH progression. Additionally, TSP1 deficient platelets play a role in regulating brown fat endocrine function, specifically affecting Nrg4 production. Crosstalk between brown fat and the liver may also influence NAFLD progression. Conclusions: These data suggest that platelet α-granule-derived TSP1 is a significant contributor to diet-induced NASH and fibrosis, and may serve as a new therapeutic target for this severe liver disease.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins coordinate the fates of multiple RNAs, but the principles underlying these global interactions remain poorly understood. We elucidated regulatory mechanisms of the RNA-binding protein HuR, by integrating data from diverse high-throughput targeting technologies, specifically PAR-CLIP, RIP-chip, and whole-transcript expression profiling. The number of binding sites per transcript, degree of HuR-association, and degree of HuR-dependent RNA stabilization were positively correlated. Pre-mRNA and mature mRNA containing both intronic and 3' UTR binding sites were more highly stabilized than transcripts with only 3' UTR or only intronic binding sites, suggesting that HuR couples pre-mRNA processing with mature mRNA stability. We also observed HuR-dependent splicing changes and substantial binding of HuR in poly-pyrimidine tracts of pre-mRNAs. Comparison of the spatial patterns surrounding HuR and miRNA binding sites provided functional evidence for HuR-dependent antagonism of proximal miRNA-mediated repression. We conclude that HuR coordinates gene expression outcomes at multiple interconnected steps of RNA processing. HuR (ELAVL1) PAR-CLIP

Project description:The Human antigen R protein (HuR) is a RNA-binding protein that recognizes U/AU-rich elements in diverse RNAs through two RNA-recognition motifs, RRM1 and RRM2, and post-transcriptionally regulates the fate of target RNAs. The natural product Dihydrotanshinone-I (DHTS) prevents the association of HuR and target RNAs in vitro and in cultured cells by interfering with the binding of HuR to RNA. Here, we report the structural determinants of the interaction between DHTS and HuR and the impact of DHTS on HuR binding to target mRNAs transcriptome-wide. NMR titration and Molecular Dynamic simulation identified the residues within RRM1 and RRM2 responsible for the interaction between DHTS and HuR. RNA Electromobility Shifts and Alpha Screen Assays showed that DHTS interacts with HuR through the same binding regions as target RNAs, stabilizing HuR in a locked conformation that hampers RNAs binding competitively. HuR ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation followed by microarray (RIP-chip) analysis showed that DHTS treatment of HeLa cells paradoxically enriched HuR binding to mRNAs with longer 3’UTR and with higher density of U/AU-rich elements, suggesting that DHTS inhibits the association of HuR to weaker target mRNAs. In vivo, DHTS potently inhibited xenograft tumor growth in a HuR-dependent model without systemic toxicity.

Project description:Identify mRNA targets of the RNA-binding protein HuR in vivo during Schwann cell development using RIP-chip analysis. IP protocol of endogenous mRNA-transfected HuR complexes was performed as described in Keene et al. (2006). In brief, 500 mg of whole-cell lysate obtained from a pool of NB or P5 sciatic nerves from C57BL6J mice were incubated with a suspension of Protein Sepharose beads (Sigma-Aldrich), pre-coated with 15 mg of either IgG1 (BD Pharmingen) or anti-HuR (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. mRNAs were isolated using the phenol-chloroform method.
