Examine how the absence of prion protein expression could affect the cellular glycosylation enzymes during development

ABSTRACT: Dr. Wong's laboratory is interested in examining if and how the absence of prion protein expression could affect the cellular glycosylation enzymes during development. Prion protein is a glycoprotein and changes in glycosylation on the protein have been implicated in the pathogenic process. Our objective is to examine if and how the absence of prion protein expression could affect the cellular glycosylation enzymes during development. To do this, we proposed to compare and contrast the expression profile of the glycosylation enzymes in control and prion protein knockout mouse brain at the age of 2 and 82 weeks (n=3). RNA preparations from control and prion protein knockout mice brain of age ~2 and 82 weeks were sent to the Microarray Core (E). The RNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to GLYCOv3 microarrays.

Efficacy and molecular mechanism of a glycoside compound inhibiting abnormal prion protein formation in prion-infected cells

Project description:This report describes our study of the efficacy and the potential mechanism underlying the anti-prion action of a new anti-prion compound having a glycoside structure in prion-infected cells. The study revealed involvements of two factors in the mechanism of the compound action: interferon and a microtubule nucleation activator, phosphodiesterase 4D interacting protein. In particular, phosphodiesterase 4D interacting protein was suggested to be important in regulating the trafficking or fusion of prion protein-containing vesicles or structures in cells. The findings of the study are expected to be useful not only for the elucidation of cellular regulatory mechanisms of prion protein, but also for the implication of new targets for therapeutic development. Prion-infected N167 cells were treated with either anti-prion glycoside compound (Gly-9) or control glycoside compound (Gly-14) at a dose of 5 M-NM-<g/mL for three days. Then, gene expression profiles were analyzed by DNA microarray analysis. Experiments were performed in quadruplicate.

Glycosylation change in mouse CD8 T cells during development

Project description:Dr. Jameson's research focus is on development and regulation of lymphocytes, especially T cells. Recent work has suggested that differential glycosylation effects the sensitivity of the T cell receptors and its coreceptors, suggesting that regulation of glycosylation may be a critical element in controlling T cell development, survival and functional activity. Determination of how glycosylation enzymes/substrates change in gene expression during development of mouse CD8 T cells. Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. The goal is to build on data suggesting that this developmental step involves regulated expression of sialyltransferases (and/or neuraminidases). Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. Pre-selection CD4+8+ (DP) thymocytes were sorted from TCRa-/- thymi. Post-selection (post-positive selection) DP thymocytes came from an OT-I TCR transgenic mouse. Naïve (CD44lo) CD8 T cells from lymph node of OT-I mice were used as naïve CD8 T cells. For activated cells, naïve OT-I T cells were activated for 48 hours in vitro with cognate antigen (SIINFEKL peptide/Kb) (displayed on cell sized latex beads) in the presence of IL-2 and IL-12.

Transcriptional signature of prion-induced neurotoxicity in a Drosophila model of transmissible mammalian prion disease

Project description:Prion diseases are fatal transmissible neurodegenerative conditions of humans and animals that arise through neurotoxicity induced by PrP misfolding. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of prion-induced neurotoxicity remain undefined. Understanding these processes will underpin therapeutic and control strategies for human and animal prion diseases, respectively. Prion diseases are difficult to study in their natural hosts and require the use of tractable animal models. Here we used RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis of prion-exposed Drosophila to probe the mechanism of prion-induced neurotoxicity. Adult Drosophila transgenic for pan neuronal expression of ovine PrP targeted to the plasma membrane exhibit a neurotoxic phenotype evidenced by decreased locomotor activity after exposure to ovine prions at the larval stage. Pathway analysis and quantitative PCR of genes differentially expressed in prion-infected Drosophila revealed up-regulation of cell cycle activity and DNA damage response, followed by down-regulation of eIF2 and mTOR signalling. Mitochondrial dysfunction was identified as the principal toxicity pathway in prion-exposed PrP transgenic Drosophila. The transcriptomic changes we observed were specific to PrP targeted to the plasma membrane since these prion-induced gene expression changes were not evident in similarly-treated Drosophila transgenic for cytosolic pan neuronal PrP expression, or in non-transgenic control flies. Collectively, our data indicate that aberrant cell cycle activity, repression of protein synthesis and altered mitochondrial function are key events involved in prion-induced neurotoxicity, and correlate with those identified in mammalian hosts undergoing prion disease. These studies highlight the use of PrP transgenic Drosophila as a genetically well-defined tractable host to study mammalian prion biology.

Gene expression differences between prion-resistant and prion-susceptible cells

Project description:Prions consist of aggregates of abnormal conformers of cellular prion protein (PrPC). They propagate by recruiting host-encoded PrPC although the critical interacting proteins and the reasons for the differences in susceptibility of distinct cell lines and populations are unknown. We derived a lineage of cell lines with markedly differing susceptibilities, unexplained by PrPC expression differences, to identify such factors. We examined the transcriptomes of prion-resistant revertants, isolated from highly susceptible cells, and identified a gene expression signature associated with susceptibility. Several of these genes encode proteins with a role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, a compartment in which disease-related PrP deposits. Loss-of-function of nine of these genes significantly increased susceptibility. Remarkably, inhibition of fibronectin 1 binding to integrin α8 by RGD peptide inhibited metalloproteinases (MMP)-2/9 whilst increasing prion propagation rates. This indicates that prion replication may be controlled by MMPs at the ECM in an integrin-dependent manner.

A bacterial global regulator forms a prion

Project description:Prions are self-propagating protein aggregates that act as protein-based genetic elements in fungi. Although prevalent in eukaryotes, prions have not been identified in bacteria. Here we demonstrate that a bacterial protein, transcription terminator Rho of Clostridium botulinum (Cb-Rho), can form a prion. Specifically, we identify a candidate prion-forming domain (cPrD) in Cb-Rho and show that it confers amyloidogenicity on Cb-Rho and can functionally replace the PrD of a yeast prion-forming protein. Furthermore, we show that its cPrD enables Cb-Rho to access alternative conformations in bacteria, a soluble form that terminates transcription efficiently and an aggregated, self-propagating prion form that is functionally compromised, causing genome-wide changes in the transcriptome. Thus, Cb-Rho functions as a protein-based genetic element in bacteria, suggesting that the emergence of prions predates the evolutionary split between eukaryotes and bacteria.

A prion accelerates proliferation at the expense of lifespan

Project description:Organisms often commit to one of two strategies: living fast and dying young or living slow and dying old. In fluctuating environments, however, switching between these two strategies could be advantageous. Lifespan is often inversely correlated with cell size and proliferation, which are both limited by protein synthesis. Here we report that a highly conserved RNA-modifying enzyme, the pseudouridine synthase Pus4/TruB, can act as a prion, endowing yeast with greater proliferation rates at the cost of a shortened lifespan. Cells harboring the prion can grow larger and exhibit altered protein synthesis. This epigenetic state, [BIG+] (better in growth), allows cells to heritably yet reversibly alter their translational program, leading to the differential expression of hundreds of proteins, including many that regulate proliferation and aging. Our data reveal a functional role for aggregation of RNA-modifying enzymes in driving heritable epigenetic states that transform cell growth and survival.

Trans-Golgi protein TVP23B regulates host-microbe interactions via Paneth cell homeostasis and Goblet cell glycosylation

Project description:A key feature in intestinal immunity is the dynamic intestinal barrier, which separates the host from resident and pathogenic microbiota through a mucus gel impregnated with antimicrobial peptides. The mechanisms underlying the maintenance and function of this intestinal barrier are not completely understood. Using a mouse forward genetic screen for defects of intestinal homeostasis, we have found a mutation in Tvp23b, which conferred susceptibility to chemically induced and infectious colitis. Golgi apparatus membrane protein TVP23 homolog B (TVP23B) is a transmembrane protein conserved from yeast to humans. In the intestine, the protein is localized to the epithelium and its deficiency in the hematopoietic extrinsic compartment was essential to the colitis phenotype. We found that TVP23B controls the homeostasis of Paneth cells and function of goblet cells in vivo, leading to a decrease in antimicrobial peptides as well as a more penetrable mucus layer. As a result, Tvp23b-/- mice displayed decreased barrier function and a loss of host-microbe separation. TVP23B-deficient colonocytes have a loss of core-3 O-glycosylation of colonic proteins, which is the major O-glycosylation present on gel forming mucins. TVP23B binds with another Golgi protein, YIPF6, which is similarly critical for intestinal homeostasis. The Golgi proteomes of YIPF6 and TVP23B-deficent colonocytes have a common deficiency of several critical glycosylation enzymes, including those necessary for core-3 glycosylation of mucins. TVP23B is necessary for the formation of the sterile mucin layer of the intestine and its absence disturbs the balance of host and microbe in vivo.
