Project description:Although significant progress in recent years has been made in defining key innate immune receptors involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), our knowledge of the specific intracellular signaling molecules that coordinate immune responses in AD remains poorly defined. In these studies, we have identified a previously undescribed role for the innate immune signaling molecule CARD9 in an amyloid beta (Ab)-mediated mouse model of AD. We specifically demonstrate that CARD9 deletion in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD leads to impaired control of Ab, worsened cognitive decline, and aberrant microglial activation. We further show that pharmacological activation of CARD9 provides a strategy to boost Ab clearance from the hippocampus. Collectively, these findings uncover a previously uncharacterized molecular signaling molecule used by the innate immune system in Ab-mediated neurological disease, and help to establish CARD9 as a novel molecular player that can be targeted in AD.

Project description:Recent advances have highlighted the importance of several innate immune receptors expressed by microglia in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In particular, mounting evidence from AD patients and experimental models indicates pivotal roles for TREM2, CD33, and CD22 in neurodegenerative disease progression. While there is growing interest in targeting these microglial receptors to treat AD, we still lack knowledge of the downstream signaling molecules used by these receptors to orchestrate immune responses in AD. Notably, TREM2, CD33, and CD22 have been described to influence signaling associated with the intracellular adaptor molecule CARD9 to mount downstream immune responses outside of the brain. However, the role of CARD9 in AD remains poorly understood. Here, we show that genetic ablation of CARD9 in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD results in exacerbated amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition, increased neuronal loss, worsened cognitive deficits, and alterations in microglial responses. We further show that pharmacological activation of CARD9 promotes improved clearance of Aβ deposits from the brains of 5xFAD mice. These results help to establish CARD9 as a key intracellular innate immune signaling molecule that regulates Aβ-mediated disease and microglial responses. Moreover, these findings suggest that targeting CARD9 might offer a strategy to improve Aβ clearance in AD.

Project description:CARD9 is an adapter protein, which plays a critical role in anti-fungal immunity. However, the role of CARD9 in fungal-induced autophagy remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that Card9-/- mice displayed more severe phenotype of zymosan-induced peritonitis, presenting as multiple organs injury and increased systemic inflammation. Moreover, the number of macrophage in spleen was increased in Card9-/- mice. Further studies revealed that autophagy was impaired in peritoneal macrophages of Card9-/- -peritonitis mice. Notably, the autophagy agonist, rapamycin, ameliorated peritonitis in Card9-/- mice. Moreover, Card9 mediates the interaction of Malt1 and P62 upon zymosan stimulation. Together, our results confirmed the protective role of Card9 in the development of peritonitis via regulates autophagy in macrophage cells. The study indicates Card9 may be a potential therapeutic target for peritonitis.

Project description:It is crucial to decipher the host-microbiota interactions as they are involved in intestinal homeostasis and diseases. Caspase Recruitment Domain 9 (Card9) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility gene coding for an adapter protein for innate immunity toward many microorganisms. Card9 mediates colitis recovery via interleukin 22 pathway activation and Card9-/- mice have enhanced susceptibility to colitis. To reveal the mechanisms responsible of this defect in Card9-/-mice, we compared colon transcriptomics in WT and Card9-/- mice before and during DSS-induced colitis. Mice transcriptomes clusterized according to the genotype supporting a pattern clearly different in WT and Card9-/- mice. The number of up-regulated genes at day 7 was largely higher in Card9-/- compared to WT mice. Pathway analyses of the induced transcripts showed a dominance of immune-related pathway with a stronger signal in Card9-/- mice. Interestingly, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, in which CARD9 is involved, was an exception with weaker activation in Card9-/- than in WT mice. During the recovery period at day 12, pathways involved in cell proliferation and replication were significantly activated in WT compared to Card9-/- mice confirming the healing defect in Card9-/- mice. For the induction of colitis, mice were given drinking water supplemented with 2% (w/v) Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) for 7 days, then allowed to recover by drinking water alone for 5 additional days. 3 mice of each groups (WT and Card9-/-) were sacrified before DSS administration. 5 WT mice and 4 Card9-/- mice were sacrified 7 days after DSS administration and 5 mice of each group were sacrified at day 12.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Ab) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and glial activation. Asrij/OCIAD1 (Ovarian Carcinoma Immunoreactive Antigen Domain containing protein 1) is an AD-associated factor. Increased Asrij levels in the brains of AD patients and mouse models are linked to the severity of neurodegeneration. However, the contribution of Asrij to AD progression and whether reducing Asrij levels is sufficient to mitigate Ab pathology in vivo is unclear. To explore the impact of Asrij on AD pathology, we deleted asrij in the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD and analyzed the effects on AD hallmarks. We find that Asrij depletion ameliorates cognitive impairments, Ab deposition, neuronal and synaptic damage, and reactive astrogliosis in the AD mouse. Emerging evidence indicates a critical role of microglia in influencing AD pathology. Notably, Asrij-deficient microglia exhibit reduced plaque-associated proliferation and decreased phagocytic activity. Transcriptomic analyses of AD microglia reveal upregulation of energy metabolism pathways and downregulation of innate immunity and inflammatory pathways upon Asrij depletion. Mechanistically, loss of Asrij increases mitochondrial activity and Akt/mTOR signaling and impedes the pro-inflammatory Disease-Associated Microglia (DAM) state. Reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased STAT3 and NF-kB activation indicate protective changes in AD microglia. Taken together, our results suggest that increased Asrij levels reported in AD, may suppress microglial metabolic activity and promote inflammatory microglial activation, thereby exacerbating AD pathology. Our study establishes a novel role for Asrij in regulating microglial responses to Ab pathology, and could be a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The innate immune system senses fungal pathogens through a family of Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which signal through the conserved immune adapter Card9. Although Card9 complexes are essential for antifungal defense in humans and mice, the mechanisms that couple CLR-proximal events to Card9 control are not well defined. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identified Vav proteins as key activators of the Card9 pathway. Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3 cooperate downstream of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle to selectively engage Card9 for NF-κB control and proinflammatory gene transcription but are not involved in MAPK activation. Although Vav family members show functional redundancy, Vav1/2/3 triple-deficient cells are severely impaired for NF-κB and cytokine responses upon stimulation with CLR agonists or hyphae, and Vav1/2/3-/- mice phenocopy Card9-/- animals with extreme susceptibility to fungi and rapid mortality upon Candida albicans infection. In this context, Vav3 is the single most important Vav in mice, and a polymorphism in human VAV3 is associated with susceptibility to candidemia in patients. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism for CLR-mediated Card9 regulation that controls innate immunity to fungal infections.

Project description:Purpose: To characterize Card9-dependent and Card9-independent Dectin-1 mediated gene expression changes in neutrophils and to compare response to Dectin-1 stimulation in neutrophils and macrophages. Method: BM neutrophils from WT and Card9-/- mice were isolated by MACS column purification and treated with or without the Dectin-1 agonist, curdlan for 3 hrs. WT BM-derived macrophages were also treated with or without curdlan for 3hrs before sample collection. Results: We identified both Card9-dependent and Card9-independent gene expression changes with Dectin-1 stimulation in neutrophils. We also identified cell-type specific differences in the response to Dectin-1 stimulation in neutrophils and macrophages. Conclusions: Dectin-1 stimulation induces significant gene expression changes regulated by either canonical Card9-dependent or non-canonical Card9-independent mechanisms.
