Project description:Organelle crosstalk plays important functions in metabolic processes and is relevant to immunity, neurodegeneration, and cancer. The permeabilisation and rupture of endolysosomes during stress can induce inflammation and cell death. There is growing evidence that endomembrane damage does not always result in cell death and that important cellular functions can be regulated by limited endolysosomal damage. However, the effect of limited cytosolic leakage of endolysosomal contents on the function of other cytoplasmic organelles is poorly understood. Here, we show that sterile and non-sterile endolysosomal damage triggers remodelling of the mitochondrial proteome and metabolic reprogramming of human macrophages. Mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming was associated with endolysosomal leakage independently of proteasome degradation and mitophagy. Furthermore, single-cell RNA-sequencing and metabolic analysis of lung macrophages undergoing endomembrane damage showed altered mitochondrial metabolism in mice. We, therefore, uncover an inter-organelle communication mechanism between mitochondria and endolysosomes with limited proteolytic leakage, providing a general mechanism by which macrophages undergo mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming in response to infection or injury.

Project description:Angiogenesis is an essential process in human physiology and disease pathology. Particularly, in ischemic disease condition, the proper induction of angiogenesis without vascular leakage will be crucial for its effective therapy. Ginsenosides, triterpenoid saponins from a well-known medicinal plant ginseng, have been considered as a strong candidate for modulating angiogenesis. However, the biologic activity of individual gensenoside compounds and their target pathway have not been elucidated systematically. To find the candidates of vascular-related therapeutic agents, we evaluated in vitro angiogenic efficacy of 10 ginsenosides using tube formation assay with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among them, F1 and Rh1 showed strong in vitro angiogenic properties including EC tube formation, proliferation, and migration similar to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, RNA transcriptome analysis showed that F1 and Rh1 differentially regulate gene expressions in HUVECs compared to VEGF. Not only that, F1 and Rh1 significantly inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced vascular leakage both in vitro and in vivo. From RNA transcriptome analysis, we identified that nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) is regulated by F1 and Rh1 for suppression of VEGF-induced vascular leakage. By suppressing the expression and transcriptional activity of NR4A1, F1 and Rh1 could stabilize the expression and localization of junctional vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin. These findings demonstrate that F1 and Rh1 could be potential compounds in the development of vascular pharmaceuticals.

Project description:Soil microbial communities host a large number of microbial species that support important ecological functions such as biogeochemical cycling and plant nutrition. The extent and stability of these functions are affected by inter-species interactions among soil microorganisms, yet the different mechanisms underpinning microbial interactions in the soil are not fully understood. Here, we study the extent of nutrient-based interactions among two model, plant-supporting soil microorganisms, the fungi Serendipita indica, and the bacteria Bacillus subtilis. We found that S. indica is unable to grow with nitrate - a common nitrogen source in the soil - but this inability could be rescued, and growth restored in the presence of B. subtilis. We demonstrate that this effect is due to B. subtilis utilising nitrate and releasing ammonia, which can be used by S. indica. We refer to this type of mechanism as ammonia mediated nitrogen sharing (N-sharing). Using a mathematical model, we demonstrated that the pH dependent equilibrium between ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH+4) results in an inherent cellular leakiness, and that reduced amonnium uptake or assimilation rates could result in higher levels of leaked ammonia. In line with this model, a mutant B. subtilis - devoid of ammonia uptake - showed higher S. indica growth support in nitrate media. These findings highlight that ammonia based N-sharing can be a previously under-appreciated mechanism underpinning interaction among soil microorganisms and could be influenced by microbial or abiotic alteration of pH in microenvironments.

Project description:According to the WHO 2009 classification, dengue with warning signs (D+W) is at the risk of developing severe form of dengue disease. One of the most important warning signs is plasma leakage, which is a serious complication associated with higher morbidity and mortality. We report that the frequency of CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) T cells is significantly increased in patients at risk of developing plasma leakage. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that CD4+CD8+ DP cells were distinct from CD4+ Single Positive (SP) T cells, but co-clustered with CD8+ SP cells indicating a largely similar transcriptional profile. 20 significant differentially expressed (DE) genes were identified between CD4+CD8+ DP and CD8+ SP cells. These genes encode OX40 and CCR4 (TNFRSF4 and CCR4), as well as other molecules associated with cell signaling on the cell surface (NT5E, MXRA8, PTPRK). While 5 significant DE genes were identified, the profile of gene expression in CD4+CD8+ DP cells was mostly similar between patients with and without warning signs of plasma leakage, implying a role of CD4+CD8+ DP cells in plasma leakage through a quantitative increase rather than functional alteration. The differentially expressed genes identified could have diagnostic utility, perhaps as PCR-based diagnostic markers.

Project description:BackgroundSparse relative effectiveness evidence is a frequent problem in Health Technology Assessment (HTA). Where evidence directly pertaining to the decision problem is sparse, it may be feasible to expand the evidence-base to include studies that relate to the decision problem only indirectly: for instance, when there is no evidence on a comparator, evidence on other treatments of the same molecular class could be used; similarly, a decision on children may borrow-strength from evidence on adults. Usually, in HTA, such indirect evidence is either included by ignoring any differences ('lumping') or not included at all ('splitting'). However, a range of more sophisticated methods exists, primarily in the biostatistics literature. The objective of this study is to identify and classify the breadth of the available information-sharing methods.MethodsForwards and backwards citation-mining techniques were used on a set of seminal papers on the topic of information-sharing. Papers were included if they specified (network) meta-analytic methods for combining information from distinct populations, interventions, outcomes or study-designs.ResultsOverall, 89 papers were included. A plethora of evidence synthesis methods have been used for information-sharing. Most papers (n=79) described methods that shared information on relative treatment effects. Amongst these, there was a strong emphasis on methods for information-sharing across multiple outcomes (n=42) and treatments (n=25), with fewer papers focusing on study-designs (n=23) or populations (n=8). We categorise and discuss the methods under four 'core' relationships of information-sharing: functional, exchangeability-based, prior-based and multivariate relationships, and explain the assumptions made within each of these core approaches.ConclusionsThis study highlights the range of information-sharing methods available. These methods often impose more moderate assumptions than lumping or splitting. Hence, the degree of information-sharing that they impose could potentially be considered more appropriate. Our identification of four 'core' methods of information-sharing allows for an improved understanding of the assumptions underpinning the different methods. Further research is required to understand how the methods differ in terms of the strength of sharing they impose and the implications of this for health care decisions.

The choline-leakage
hypothesis for the loss of acetylcholine in Alzheimer's
disease.

Abstract:
We present a hypothesis for the loss of acetylcholine in
Alzheimer's disease that is based on two recent experimental
results: that beta-amyloid causes leakage of choline across
cell membranes and that decreased production of acetylcholine
increases the production of beta-amyloid. According to the
hypothesis, an increase in beta-amyloid concentration caused by
proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein results in an
increase in the leakage of choline out of cells. This leads to
a reduction in intracellular choline concentration and hence a
reduction in acetylcholine production. The reduction in
acetylcholine production, in turn, causes an increase in the
concentration of beta-amyloid. The resultant positive feedback
between decreased acetylcholine and increased beta-amyloid
accelerates the loss of acetylcholine. We compare the
predictions of the choline-leakage hypothesis with a number of
experimental observations. We also approximate it with a pair
of ordinary differential equations. The solutions of these
equations indicate that the loss of acetylcholine is very
sensitive to the initial rate of beta-amyloid production.

Project description:One of the most common metabolic defects of cancer cells is the deficiency in arginine synthesis due to suppressed expression of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1) which renders cancer cells auxotrophic to external arginine supply. Arginine deprivation has been effectively used as a treatment for leukemias, with several clinical trials on solid tumors underway. We previously showed that in prostate cancer arginine depletion induced mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive ROS production resulting in chromatin autophagy, nuclear DNA leakage, and cellular death, but the detailed mechanism of arginine starvation-induced cell death remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that arginine deprivation coordinately suppressed metabolic genes, including those responsible for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), nucleotide metabolism, and DNA repair. The consequent ROS production and impaired DNA damage response resulted in nuclear DNA leakage and cGAS-STING activation which is accompanied by upregulation of type I interferon response. We also showed that coordinated silencing of OXPHOS and DNA repair genes is caused in part by the depletion of α-ketoglutarate (αKG) and inactivation of histone demethylases. Supplementing cell-permeable dimethyl α-ketoglutarate (DMKG) both reduced repressive histone methylations and partially restored OXPHOS gene expressions, mitochondrial functions, and mitigated nuclear DNA leakage. Using our dietary arginine-restriction model, we demonstrate that arginine starvation slows prostate cancer growth with evidence of enhanced interferon responses and recruitment of immune cells. Our data suggests arginine starvation induces cell killing of ASS1-low cancer cells by metabolic depletion and epigenetic silencing of metabolic genes, leading to DNA damage and leakage. Resulting cGAS-STING activation may further enhance these killing effects.
