Project description:Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), unlike conventional nanoparticles, possess molecular characteristics besides ultrasmall nano-features. Recently, we and others showed that AuNCs are promising in treatments of various major diseases. However, the AuNCs used were usually mixtures, and the specific target and their relationship with AuNC structures are unclear, which largely restrict their druggability. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease (AID) implicating central nervous system (CNS), in which drug discovery is challenging. Here we used Au18(L-N-isobutyryl-L-cysteine)14 (Au18(L-NIBC)14) and Au25(L-NIBC)18, two AuNCs with the same ligand, to report their much different therapeutic effects in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We show that, Au18(L-NIBC)14, but not Au25(L-NIBC)18, specifically targets apoptosis_x0002_associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) oligomerization, thus inhibit the activation of ASC-dependent inflammasomes, resulting in comprehensive restoration of cytokine homeostasis in the CNS of EAE mice. Au18(L-NIBC)14 significantly prevents axon demyelination, protects blood-brain barrier, blocks immune cell infiltration into CNS, and completely prevents motor deficits and relieve the early-cognitive impairments of EAE mice. Remarkable efficacies were also observed in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, indicating a broad prospect in AIDs treatments. Especially, definite molecular structure, specific target, clear mechanism, and exact therapeutic effects imply a good druggability of Au18(L-NIBC)14.

Project description:Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) is silenced by promoter methylation in many types of tumors, yet ASC’s role in most cancers remains unknown. Here, we show that ASC is highly expressed in a model of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain cancer. Importantly, while ASC deficiency did not affect normal cerebellar development, ASC knock-out mice in the Smoothened (ND2:SmoA1) transgenic model of medulloblastoma exhibited a profound reduction in medulloblastoma incidence and delayed tumor onset. Premalignant lesions in cerebella of ASC-/-;ND2:SmoA1 mice displayed a striking decrease in number of ectopic progenitors. While proliferation rates decreased with ASC deletion, apoptosis and differentiation markers remained unchanged. Interestingly, ASC deficiency disrupted expression of genes in the TGF-ß pathway and increased the level of nuclear Smad3 in this medulloblastoma model. Together, these results demonstrate an unexpected requirement for ASC in Sonic hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma tumorigenesis, thus identifying ASC as a promising novel target for anti-tumor therapy. reference x sample

Project description:To explore the spatiotemporal regulation of ASC speck formation and inflammasome activation, we infected primary WT and Asc–/– bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with the bacterium Francisella novicida to induce AIM2 inflammasome activation and then performed ASC IP-MS to identify proteins that interacted with ASC. We compared the IP products between WT BMDMs and Asc–/– BMDMs, and found that many proteins specifically interacted with ASC.

Project description:Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) is silenced by promoter methylation in many types of tumors, yet ASC's role in most cancers remains unknown. Here, we show that ASC is highly expressed in a model of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain cancer; ASC is also expressed in human medulloblastomas. Importantly, while ASC deficiency did not affect normal cerebellar development, ASC knockout mice on the Smoothened (ND2:SmoA1) transgenic model of medulloblastoma exhibited a profound reduction in medulloblastoma incidence and a delayed tumor onset. A similar decrease in tumorigenesis with ASC deficiency was also seen in the hGFAP-Cre:SmoM2 mouse model of medulloblastoma. Interestingly, hyperproliferation of the external granule layer (EGL) was comparable at P20 in both wild-type and ASC-deficient SmoA1 mice. However, while the apoptosis and differentiation markers remained unchanged at this age, proliferation makers were decreased, and the EGL was reduced in thickness and area by P60. This reduction in proliferation with ASC deficiency was also seen in isolated SmoA1 cerebellar granule precursor cells in vitro, indicating that the effect of ASC deletion on proliferation was cell autonomous. Interestingly, ASC-deficient SmoA1 cerebella exhibited disrupted expression of genes in the transforming growth factor-β pathway and increased level of nuclear Smad3. Taken together, these results demonstrate an unexpected role for ASC in Sonic hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma tumorigenesis, thus identifying ASC as a promising novel target for antitumor therapy.

Project description:The adaptor protein ASC contributes to innate immunity through the assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammasome complexes. We demonstrate that ASC plays an inflammasome-independent cell-intrinsic role in adaptive immune cells. Asc-/- mice displayed defective antigen presentation by dendritic cells and lymphocyte migration due to impaired Rac-mediated actin polymerization. Genome-wide analysis showed that ASC, but not Nlrp3 or caspase-1, controls mRNA stability and expression of DOCK2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that mediates Rac-dependent signaling in immune cells. DOCK2-deficient dendritic cells showed similar defective antigen uptake as Asc-/- cells. Ectopic expression of DOCK2 in ASC-deficient cells restored Rac-mediated actin polymerization, antigen uptake and chemotaxis. Thus, ASC shapes adaptive immunity independently of inflammasomes by modulating DOCK2-dependent Rac activation and F-actin polymerization in dendritic cells and lymphocytes. Three replicates of naïve WT and three replicates of Asc-/- bone marrow derived dendritic cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix HT MG-430 PM plate array.

Project description:The adaptor protein ASC is known to facilitate caspase-1 activation essential for innate host immunity via the formation of the inflammasome complex - a multi-protein structure responsible for processing IL-1beta and IL-18 to their active moieties. Here we demonstrate that ASC-deficient CD8+ T cells fail to induce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and have impaired capacity for graft rejection and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) activity. These effects are the result of an inability to differentiate into fully cytolytic, granzyme B-expressing effector cells, with a developmental bias instead towards CD127+KLRG1- memory CD8+ T cells. These alterations in differentiation are inflammasome-independent, since GVHD lethality and CTL differentiation are not altered in recipients of caspase-1-deficient T cells. We demonstrate that ASC binds to T-bet in CD8+ T and in the absence of ASC, the binding of T-bet to the granzyme B promoter is impaired. Thus, the inhibition of ASC represents an attractive therapeutic target to manipulate transplant outcomes. Single colour, Illumina MouseRef-8 v2.0 Beadarrays.

Project description:Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae is the most frequently isolated causative pathogen community-acquired pneumonia, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. We investigated the role of the inflammasome sensor NLRP3 and the inflammasome adapter ASC during S. pneumoniae pneumonia. Detailed analysis of the early inflammatory response in the lung by whole genome transcriptional profiling, we identified several mediators that were differentially expressed between Nlrp3-/- and Asc-/ - mice. WT, Nlrp3- and Asc-deficient mice were intranasally inocculated with Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 and ATCC6303 both at high and low dose. Lung homogenates were harvested and gene expression profiling was performed.
