Project description:Upon antigenic stimulation, CD4+T-cells undergo clonal expansion elevating their bioenergetic demands and utilization of nutrients like glucose and glutamine The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor2 (Nrf2) is a well-known regulator of oxidative stress, but its involvement in modulating the metabolism of CD4+T-cells remain unexplored. We report that Nrf2 protein levels are temporally regulated in activated CD4+T-cells, with elevated expression during early activation followed by a decline. T-cell-specific constitutive activation of Nrf2 by deletion of its regulator Keap1, enhances early activation and IL-2 secretion, upregulates TCR-signaling, and increases activation-driven expansion of CD4+T-cells. Metabolically, high Nr2 alters glucose metabolism and promotes glutamine metabolism via glutaminolysis to support increased CD4+T-cell proliferation. Mechanistically, elevated Nrf2 activity in activated CD4+T-cells leads to increased chromatin accessibility and proliferation-associated gene expression. In summary, we elucidate the role of Nrf2 beyond traditional antioxidation in modulating the activation-driven expansion of CD4+T-cells by influencing their nutrient metabolism.

Project description:Here, through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screenings, we identified GAS41, a well-known histone reader as a major repressor for ferroptosis. GAS41 interacts with NRF2 and is critical for NRF2 to activate its targets such as SLC7A11 for modulating ferroptosis. By recognizing the H3K27-acetylation (H3K27-ac) marker, GAS41 is recruited to the SLC7A11 promoter independent of NRF2 binding. Notably, by bridging the interaction between NRF2 and the H3K27-ac marker, GAS41 acts as an anchor for NRF2 on chromatin in a promoter-specific manner for transcriptional activation. Moreover, the GAS41-mediated effect on ferroptosis contributes significantly to its oncogenic role in vivo. These data demonstrate that GAS41 is an important target for modulating tumor growth through ferroptosis. Our study reveals a previously unanticipated mechanism for GAS41-mediated regulation in transcription by anchoring NRF2 on chromatin and provides a model that the DNA binding activity on chromatin by transcriptional factors (NRF2) can be directly regulated by histone markers (H3K27-ac).

Project description:The NRF2 transcription factor is a key regulator of the cellular antioxidant response, and pharmacological NRF2 activation is a promising strategy for the prevention of age-related diseases. Here we show, however, that genetic activation of Nrf2 in skin fibroblasts leads to the production of a matrisome, which is similar to aged skin and characterized by reduced synthesis and deposition of selected matrix proteins, including the major skin collagens. Mechanistically, the production of an aging matrisome results from Nrf2-mediated overexpression of microRNAs (miRs), which directly suppress collagen expression independently of myofibroblast differentiation. This is functionally important, as Nrf2 activation in fibroblasts caused structural abnormalities of the dermal ECM and increased the susceptibility to skin tearing, similar to aged skin. Activation of endogenous NRF2 was observed in human skin from elderly individuals in vitro and in vivo. These data implicate a key role for activated NRF2 in controlling age-related molecular and biomechanical skin alterations.

Project description:Huntingtonâs disease (HD) is a devastating disease for which currently no therapy is available. It is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HD gene, resulting in an expansion of polyglutamines at the N-terminal end of the encoded protein, designated huntingtin, and the accumulation of cytoplasmic and nuclear aggregates. Not only is there a loss of normal huntingtin function, upon expansion of the CAG repeat there is also a gain of toxic function of the huntingtin protein and this affects a wide range of cellular processes. To identify groups of genes that could play a role in the pathology of Huntingtonâs disease, we studied mRNA changes in an inducible PC12 model of Huntingtonâs disease before and after aggregates became visible. This is the first study to show the involvement Nrf2-responsive genes in the oxidative stress response in HD. Oxidative stress related transcripts were altered in expression suggesting a protective response in cells expressing mutant huntingtin at an early stage of cellular pathology. Furthermore, there was a down-regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis resulting in lower dopamine levels in culture. Our results further demonstrate an early impairment of transcription, the cytoskeleton, ion channels and receptors. Given the pathogenic impact of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway is an attractive therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases. Keywords: Gene expression analysis, Huntington's disease, oxidative stress, PC12 cell model For each construct, we performed duplicate experiments with 2 independent cell lines for each construct yielding 2 biological replicates. Furthermore, from each cell line, two separate RNA isolations were performed serving as technical replicates. For PC12 cells with no construct, only a technical replicate was used. RNA was harvested prior to induction (day 0), after 24 hours of induction (day 1) and after 5 days of induction of exon 1 huntingtin fragments with normal (Q23) and extended (Q74) glutamine repeat length.

Project description:The transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) induces cytoprotective genes, but has also been linked to the regulation of hepatic energy metabolism. In order to assess the pharmacological potential of hepatic Nrf2 activation in metabolic disease, Nrf2 was activated over 8 weeks in mice on Western diet using two different siRNAs against kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), the inhibitory protein of Nrf2. Whole genome expression analysis followed by pathway analysis demonstrated that the suppression of Keap1 expression induced genes that are involved in anti-oxidative stress defense and biotransformation, pathways proving the activation of Nrf2 by the siRNAs against Keap1. The expression of neither fatty acid- nor carbohydrate-handling proteins was regulated by the suppression of Keap1. Metabolic profiling of the animals did also not show effects on plasma and hepatic lipids, energy expenditure or glucose tolerance by the activation of Nrf2. The data indicate that hepatic Nrf2 is not a major regulator of intermediary metabolism in mice.
