PARP activation promotes nuclear AID accumulation in lymphoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates immunoglobulin diversification in germinal center B cells by targeted introduction of DNA damage. As aberrant nuclear AID action contributes to the generation of B cell lymphoma, the protein's activity is tightly regulated, e.g. by nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling and nuclear degradation. In the present study, we asked whether DNA damage may affect regulation of the AID protein. We show that exogenous DNA damage that mainly activates base excision repair leads to prevention of proteasomal degradation of AID and hence its nuclear accumulation. Inhibitor as well as knockout studies indicate that activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by DNA damaging agents promotes both phenomena. These findings suggest that PARP inhibitors influence DNA damage dependent AID regulation, with interesting implications for the regulation of AID function and chemotherapy of lymphoma.

Project description:Autoreactive T cells, specifically CD138+ (syndecan-1) T cells produced in Fas-deficient systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) mouse models, were shown to significantly promote the generation of autoantibodies. In the present study, Murphy Roths Large lymphoproliferative (MRL/lpr) lupus mice were used to investigate the role of CD138 protein expression in T cells in the progression of SLE. Measurement of flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and Luminex were performed to determine the effect of CD138 on T cells in MRL/lpr mice. The results demonstrate that CD138+ T cells induce apoptosis via a Fas-dependent pathway. CD138 protein expression in T cells of MRL/lpr mice significantly reduced T cell apoptosis and contributed to the accumulation of T cells and double negative (DN) T cells, whilst simultaneously promoting T cell activation in Fas-deficient lupus mice. CD138 protein expression in DN T cells also significantly increased the protein expression of Fas ligand to enhance the cytotoxicity of DN T cells. Furthermore, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin (PI) stimulation reduced CD138 protein expression in CD3+ T cells and prevented CD138+ T cell accumulation by inducing specific apoptosis. PI stimulation also activated T cells in MRL/lpr mice to increase CD69 protein expression. CD69 protein expression in CD138+ T cells significantly increased the frequency of apoptotic CD138+ T cells. In addition, results from the present study demonstrated that CD138- T cells of MRL/lpr lupus mice had an activation defect. CD138 protein expression in T cells significantly reversed the defective activation and activating T cells could significantly reduce CD138 protein expression in CD3+ T cells of MRL/lpr mice. This suggests that CD138 protein expression in CD3+CD138- T cells of MRL/lpr mice may be a consequence of the impaired activation in autoreactive T cells prior to exposure to self-antigens by the immune system. CD138 expression in autoreactive T cells has a central role in promoting the progression and development of autoimmune response in MRL/lpr mice.
