Dectin-1-mediated signaling leads to characteristic gene expressions and cytokine secretion via spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) in rat mast cells.

ABSTRACT: Dectin-1 recognizes ?-glucan and plays important roles for the antifungal immunity through the activation of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) in dendritic cells or macrophages. Recently, expression of Dectin-1 was also identified in human and mouse mast cells, although its physiological roles were largely unknown. In this report, rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 was analyzed to investigate the molecular mechanism of Dectin-1-mediated activation and responses of mast cells. Treatment of cells with Dectin-1-specific agonist curdlan induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins and the interaction of Dectin-1 with the Src homology 2 domain of Syk. These responses depended on tyrosine phosphorylation of the hemi-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif in the cytoplasmic tail of Dectin-1, whereas they were independent of the ?-subunit of high-affinity IgE receptor. DNA microarray and real-time PCR analyses showed that Dectin-1-mediated signaling stimulated gene expression of transcription factor Nfkbiz and inflammatory cytokines, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, IL-3, IL-4, IL-13, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?. The response was abrogated by pretreatment with Syk inhibitor R406. These results suggest that Syk is critical for Dectin-1-mediated activation of mast cells, although the signaling differs from that triggered by Fc?RI activation. In addition, these gene expressions induced by curdlan stimulation were specifically observed in mast cells, suggesting that Dectin-1-mediated signaling of mast cells offers new insight into the antifungal immunity.

Project description:Before stimulation, the cells were washed and the culture media was changed to RPMI-1640. After stimulation, cell culture media were collected, concentrated, and the proteins were precipitated with 2-D Clean-Up Kit (GE Healthcare) followed by protein alkylation, trypsin digestion and iTRAQ labelling of the resulting peptides according to manufacturer´s instructions (Applied Biosystems). Control sample was labeled with 114, LPS-stimulated with 115, Curdlan-stimulated with 116, and GBY-stimulated with 117 isobaric tag. After labelling the samples were pooled and dried, and the peptides were fractionated by strong cation exchange chromatography using an Ettan HPLC system (Amersham Biosciences) connected to a PolySULFOETHYL A column. Each SCX-fraction containing labelled peptides was analyzed twice with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using Ultimate 3000 nano-liquid chromatograph (Dionex) and QSTAR Elite hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems / MDS Sciex) with nano-ESI ionization as previously described (Lietzén et al., 2011). MS data were acquired automatically using Analyst QS 2.0 software. Protein identification and relative quantitation were performed with ParagonTM search algorithm (Shilov et al., 2007) using ProteinPilot 2.0 interface (AB Sciex). Data files from both technical replicates of an iTRAQ sample set were processed together. Database searching was done against UniProt human database (version 2008-01-28 with 20330 human sequences) and ´decoy` database (the reverse amino acid sequence for false discovery rate estimation). The search criteria were: cysteine alkylation with MMTS, trypsin digestion, biological modifications allowed, thorough search and detected protein threshold of 95% confidence (Unused ProtScore > 1.3). Importantly, automatic bias correction was not used in quantitation. The false discovery rates were calculated as previously described (Elias and Gygi, 2007) and were 1.4% and 2% for the two biological replicates.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (Dectin-1) receptor has been reported to be involved in neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury. The present study was designed to investigate the role of Dectin-1 and its downstream target spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) in early brain injury after ischemic stroke using a focal cortex ischemic stroke model. METHODS:Adult male C57BL/6 J mice were subjected to a cerebral focal ischemia model of ischemic stroke. The neurological score, adhesive removal test, and foot-fault test were evaluated on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after ischemic stroke. Dectin-1, Syk, phosphorylated (p)-Syk, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression was analyzed via western blotting in ischemic brain tissue after ischemic stroke and in BV2 microglial cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury in vitro. The brain infarct volume and Iba1-positive cells were evaluated using Nissl's and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. The Dectin-1 antagonist laminarin (LAM) and a selective inhibitor of Syk phosphorylation (piceatannol; PIC) were used for the intervention. RESULTS:Dectin-1, Syk, and p-Syk expression was significantly enhanced on days 3, 5, and 7 and peaked on day 3 after ischemic stroke. The Dectin-1 antagonist LAM or Syk inhibitor PIC decreased the number of Iba1-positive cells and TNF-α and iNOS expression, decreased the brain infarct volume, and improved neurological functions on day 3 after ischemic stroke. In addition, the in vitro data revealed that Dectin-1, Syk, and p-Syk expression was increased following the 3-h OGD and 0, 3, and 6 h of reperfusion in BV2 microglial cells. LAM and PIC also decreased TNF-α and iNOS expression 3 h after OGD/R induction. CONCLUSION:Dectin-1/Syk signaling plays a crucial role in inflammatory activation after ischemic stroke, and further investigation of Dectin-1/Syk signaling in stroke is warranted.
