Transcriptional induction of ADAMTS5 protein by nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) family member RelA/p65 in chondrocytes during osteoarthritis development.

ABSTRACT: Here we sought to identify transcription factors that induce ADAMTS5, a crucial proteinase for osteoarthritis development. Exhaustive comparison of the genomic sequences of human, macaque, and mouse ADAMTS5 genes revealed that the proximal 1.4 kb of the 5'-end-flanking regions containing several consensus motifs was highly conserved. Among putative transcription factors for these motifs, NF-?B family member RelA/p65 most strongly stimulated the promoter activity. In the ADAMTS5 gene, there were three NF-?B binding motifs, in which deletion, mutagenesis, and tandem repeat analyses of the luciferase assay identified the core responsive elements of RelA/p65 to be -896/-887 and -424/-415 bp with specific bindings. The endogenous Adamts5 expression in ATDC5 cells was increased by RelA/p65 overexpression and decreased by knockdown through its siRNA. The expression was also inhibited by the Rela deletion through Cre transfection in primary articular chondrocytes from Rela(fl/fl) mice. In the ex vivo culture of femoral head cartilage from mesenchymal cell-specific Rela knock-out (Prx1-Cre;Rela(fl/fl)) mice, aggrecanolysis was significantly lower than that in the Rela(fl/fl) cartilage. Finally, in the experimental mouse osteoarthritis model, ADAMTS5 and RelA were co-localized in chondrocytes of degraded articular cartilage. We conclude that RelA/p65 is a potent transcriptional activator of ADAMTS5 in chondrocytes during osteoarthritis development.

Project description:Orientia tsutsugamushi causes scrub typhus, a potentially fatal infection that threatens over one billion people. Nuclear translocation of the transcription factor, NF-?B, is the central initiating cellular event in the antimicrobial response. Here, we report that NF-?B p65 nuclear accumulation and NF-?B-dependent transcription are inhibited in O. tsutsugamushi infected HeLa cells and/or primary macrophages, even in the presence of TNF?. The bacterium modulates p65 subcellular localization by neither degrading it nor inhibiting I?B? degradation. Rather, it exploits host exportin 1 to mediate p65 nuclear export, as this phenomenon is leptomycin B-sensitive. O. tsutsugamushi antagonizes NF-?B-activated transcription even when exportin 1 is inhibited and NF-?B consequently remains in the nucleus. Two ankyrin repeat-containing effectors (Anks), Ank1 and Ank6, each of which possess a C-terminal F-box and exhibit 58.5% amino acid identity, are linked to the pathogen's ability to modulate NF-?B. When ectopically expressed, both translocate to the nucleus, abrogate NF-?B-activated transcription in an exportin 1-independent manner, and pronouncedly reduce TNF?-induced p65 nuclear levels by exportin 1-dependent means. Flag-tagged Ank 1 and Ank6 co-immunoprecipitate p65 and exportin 1. Both also bind importin ?1, a host protein that is essential for the classical nuclear import pathway. Importazole, which blocks importin ?1 activity, abrogates Ank1 and Ank6 nuclear translocation. The Ank1 and Ank6 regions that bind importin ?1 also mediate their transport into the nucleus. Yet, these regions are distinct from those that bind p65/exportin 1. The Ank1 and Ank6 F-box and the region that lies between it and the ankyrin repeat domain are essential for blocking p65 nuclear accumulation. These data reveal a novel mechanism by which O. tsutsugamushi modulates the activity and nuclear transport of NF-?B p65 and identify the first microbial proteins that co-opt both importin ?1 and exportin 1 to antagonize a critical arm of the antimicrobial response.

Project description:The NF-κB signaling pathway is central to the innate and adaptive immune responses. Upon their detection of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, Toll-like receptors on the cell surface initiate signal transduction and activate the NF-κB pathway, leading to the production of a wide array of inflammatory cytokines, in attempt to eradicate the invaders. As a countermeasure, pathogens have evolved ways to subvert and manipulate this system to their advantage. Enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EPEC and EHEC) are closely related bacteria responsible for major food-borne diseases worldwide. Via a needle-like protein complex called the type three secretion system (T3SS), these pathogens deliver virulence factors directly to host cells and modify cellular functions, including by suppressing the inflammatory response. Using gain- and loss-of-function screenings, we identified two bacterial effectors, NleC and NleE, that down-regulate the NF-κB signal upon being injected into a host cell via the T3SS. A recent report showed that NleE inhibits NF-κB activation, although an NleE-deficient pathogen was still immune-suppressive, indicating that other anti-inflammatory effectors are involved. In agreement, our present results showed that NleC was also required to inhibit inflammation. We found that NleC is a zinc protease that disrupts NF-κB activation by the direct cleavage of NF-κB's p65 subunit in the cytoplasm, thereby decreasing the available p65 and reducing the total nuclear entry of active p65. More importantly, we showed that a mutant EPEC/EHEC lacking both NleC and NleE (ΔnleC ΔnleE) caused greater inflammatory response than bacteria carrying ΔnleC or ΔnleE alone. This effect was similar to that of a T3SS-defective mutant. In conclusion, we found that NleC is an anti-inflammatory bacterial zinc protease, and that the cooperative function of NleE and NleC disrupts the NF-κB pathway and accounts for most of the immune suppression caused by EHEC/EPEC.
