IL-1Ra protects hematopoietic cells from chemotoxicity through p53-induced quiescence.

ABSTRACT: The protection of constantly proliferating gut epithelia and hematopoietic tissues from cytotoxicity could improve conventional chemotherapy efficacy and widen its therapeutic window. Previously, we reported that, in mouse models, pretreatment of recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1Ra) protected both types of vulnerable tissues from chemotherapeutics. Here, we showed that rhIL-1Ra treatment up-regulated the protein levels of phosphorylated p38, p53, and p21 and induced transient hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HS/PC) quiescence. Knockout of IL-1 receptor I (IL-1RI), p53, or p21 alleles and pharmacological inactivation of p38 mapped the rhIL-1Ra pathway in the induction of HS/PC quiescence. Therefore, rhIL-1Ra administration before but not after chemotherapy alleviated 5-fluorouracil-induced neutropenia. In addition, in vivo and in vitro cell proliferation assays revealed that the rhIL-1Ra treatment did not affect cancer cell proliferation or chemosensitivity. Lastly, we propose an IL-1/IL-1Ra pathway (IL-1RI → p38 → p53 → p21), which regulates HS/PC quiescence. The rhIL-1Ra may provide a new route for p53-based cyclotherapy, which spares normal cells but kills cancer cells during chemotherapy.-Ye, H., Qian, L., Zhu, S., Deng, S., Wang, X., Zhu, J., Chan, G.

p53 regulates hematopoietic stem cell quiescence.

Project description:The importance of the p53 protein in the cellular response to DNA damage is well known, but its function during steady-state hematopoiesis has not been established. We have defined a critical role of p53 in regulating hematopoietic stem cell quiescence, especially in promoting the enhanced quiescence seen in HSCs that lack the MEF/ELF4 transcription factor. Transcription profiling of HSCs isolated from wild-type and p53 null mice identified Gfi-1 and Necdin as p53 target genes, and using lentiviral vectors to upregulate or knockdown the expression of these genes, we show their importance in regulating HSC quiescence. Establishing the role of p53 (and its target genes) in controlling the cell-cycle entry of HSCs may lead to therapeutic strategies capable of eliminating quiescent cancer (stem) cells.

The tetraspanin CD53 protects stressed hematopoietic stem cells via promotion of DREAM complex-mediated quiescence.

Project description:The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) cycle responds to inflammatory and other proliferative stressors; however, these cells must quickly return to quiescence to avoid exhaustion and maintain their functional integrity. The mechanisms that regulate this return to quiescence are not well understood. Here, we show that tetraspanin CD53 is markedly upregulated in HSCs in response to a variety of inflammatory and proliferative stimuli and that the loss of CD53 is associated with prolonged cycling and reduced HSC function in the context of inflammatory stress. Mechanistically, CD53 promotes the activity of the dimerization partner, RB-like, E2F, and multi-vulva class B (DREAM) transcriptional repressor complex, which downregulates genes associated with cycling and division. Proximity labeling and confocal fluorescence microscopy studies showed that CD53 interacts with DREAM-associated proteins, specifically promoting the interaction between Rbl2/p130 and its phosphatase protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), effectively stabilizing p130 protein availability for DREAM binding. Together, these data identified a novel mechanism by which stressed HSCs resist cycling.

Systemic loss of Sarm1 protects Schwann cells from chemotoxicity by delaying axon degeneration.

Project description:Protecting the nervous system from chronic effects of physical and chemical stress is a pressing clinical challenge. The obligate pro-degenerative protein Sarm1 is essential for Wallerian axon degeneration. Thus, blocking Sarm1 function is emerging as a promising neuroprotective strategy with therapeutic relevance. Yet, the conditions that will most benefit from inhibiting Sarm1 remain undefined. Here we combine genome engineering, pharmacology and high-resolution intravital videmicroscopy in zebrafish to show that genetic elimination of Sarm1 increases Schwann-cell resistance to toxicity by diverse chemotherapeutic agents after axonal injury. Synthetic degradation of Sarm1-deficient axons reversed this effect, suggesting that glioprotection is a non-autonomous effect of delayed axon degeneration. Moreover, loss of Sarm1 does not affect macrophage recruitment to nerve-wound microenvironment, injury resolution, or neural-circuit repair. These findings anticipate that interventions aimed at inhibiting Sarm1 can counter heightened glial vulnerability to chemical stressors and may be an effective strategy to reduce chronic consequences of neurotrauma.

The anti-inflammatory IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) protects against the development of islet autoimmunity.

Project description:Through gene expression profiling in cultured lymphocytes and PBMCs from a large set of T1D patients and controls, we demonstrate that IL-1ra may protect against the development of islet autoimmunity and T1D through down-regulating a large number of inflammatory genes and pathways. Keywords: autoimmunity; IL-1Ra;Type 1 diabetes (T1D) To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the action of IL-1ra, we profiled gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultured with sera from low or high IL-1ra subjects. To avoid potential heterogeneity in responder cells from different subjects, PBMCs from one healthy donor were cultured for six hours with 20% of sera from six subjects with low IL-1ra and six subjects with high IL-1ra. Gene expression in the cultured cells was analyzed with the Illumina HumanRef-8 v3.0 beadchips

Megakaryocytes regulate hematopoietic stem cell quiescence through CXCL4 secretion.

Project description:In the bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) lodge in specialized microenvironments that tightly control the proliferative state of HSCs to adapt to the varying needs for replenishment of blood cells while also preventing HSC exhaustion. All putative niche cells suggested thus far have a nonhematopoietic origin. Thus, it remains unclear how feedback from mature cells is conveyed to HSCs to adjust their proliferation. Here we show that megakaryocytes (MKs) can directly regulate HSC pool size in mice. Three-dimensional whole-mount imaging revealed that endogenous HSCs are frequently located adjacent to MKs in a nonrandom fashion. Selective in vivo depletion of MKs resulted in specific loss of HSC quiescence and led to a marked expansion of functional HSCs. Gene expression analyses revealed that MKs are the source of chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 4 (CXCL4, also named platelet factor 4 or PF4) in the bone marrow, and we found that CXCL4 regulates HSC cell cycle activity. CXCL4 injection into mice resulted in a reduced number of HSCs because of their increased quiescence. By contrast, Cxcl4(-/-) mice exhibited an increased number of HSCs and increased HSC proliferation. Combined use of whole-mount imaging and computational modeling was highly suggestive of a megakaryocytic niche capable of independently influencing HSC maintenance by regulating quiescence. These results indicate that a terminally differentiated cell type derived from HSCs contributes to the HSC niche, directly regulating HSC behavior.

Necdin, a p53 target gene, regulates the quiescence and response to genotoxic stress of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.

Project description:We recently defined a critical role for p53 in regulating the quiescence of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and identified necdin as a candidate p53 target gene. Necdin is a growth-suppressing protein and the gene encoding it is one of several that are deleted in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. To define the intrinsic role of necdin in adult hematopoiesis, in the present study, we transplanted necdin-null fetal liver cells into lethally irradiated recipients. We show that necdin-null adult HSCs are less quiescent and more proliferative than normal HSCs, demonstrating the similar role of necdin and p53 in promoting HSC quiescence during steady-state conditions. However, wild-type recipients repopulated with necdin-null hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells show enhanced sensitivity to irradiation and chemotherapy, with increased p53-dependent apoptosis, myelosuppression, and mortality. Necdin controls the HSC response to genotoxic stress via both cell-cycle-dependent and cell-cycle-independent mechanisms, with the latter occurring in a Gas2L3-dependent manner. We conclude that necdin functions as a molecular switch in adult hematopoiesis, acting in a p53-like manner to promote HSC quiescence in the steady state, but suppressing p53-dependent apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress.

P2X receptor characterization and IL-1/IL-1Ra release from human endothelial cells.

Project description:The pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, potentially via its release from vascular endothelium. Endothelial cells (EC) synthesize IL-1beta in response to inflammatory stimuli, but the demonstration and mechanism of release of IL-1 from ECs remains unclear. In activated monocytes, efficient release of bioactive IL-1beta occurred via activation of ATP-gated P2X(7) receptors (P2X(7)Rs). Activation of P2X(7)R in ECs from human umbilical vein (HUVECs) released IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). The purpose of this study was to provide a quantitative investigation of P2XR expression and function, in parallel with IL-1beta and IL-1Ra synthesis, processing and release, in HUVECs under pro-inflammatory conditions.Quantitative RT-PCR, immunoblotting, ELISA, flow cytometry, and whole-cell patch clamp recordings were used to determine protein expression and receptor function. IL-8-luciferase-reporter was used as an IL-1 sensitive bioassay.HUVECs expressed P2X(4)R and P2X(7)R subtypes and both were significantly up-regulated under inflammatory conditions. P2X(7)R currents were increased 3-fold by inflammatory stimuli, whereas no P2X(4)R-mediated currents were detected. Caspase-1, but not IL-1beta, was present intracellularly under basal conditions; inflammatory stimuli activated the synthesis of intracellular pro-IL-1beta and increased caspase-1 levels. Activation of P2X(7)Rs resulted in low-level release of bioactive IL-1beta and simultaneous release of IL-1Ra. The net biological effect of release was anti-inflammatory.Endothelial P2X(7)Rs induced secretion of both pro- and anti-inflammatory IL-1 receptor ligands, the balance of which may provide a means for altering the inflammatory state of the arterial vessel wall.

Re-entry into quiescence protects hematopoietic stem cells from the killing effect of chronic exposure to type I interferons.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFN-1s) are antiviral cytokines that suppress blood production while paradoxically inducing hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) proliferation. Here, we clarify the relationship between the proliferative and suppressive effects of IFN-1s on HSC function during acute and chronic IFN-1 exposure. We show that IFN-1-driven HSC proliferation is a transient event resulting from a brief relaxation of quiescence-enforcing mechanisms in response to acute IFN-1 exposure, which occurs exclusively in vivo. We find that this proliferative burst fails to exhaust the HSC pool, which rapidly returns to quiescence in response to chronic IFN-1 exposure. Moreover, we demonstrate that IFN-1-exposed HSCs with reestablished quiescence are largely protected from the killing effects of IFNs unless forced back into the cell cycle due to culture, transplantation, or myeloablative treatment, at which point they activate a p53-dependent proapoptotic gene program. Collectively, our results demonstrate that quiescence acts as a safeguard mechanism to ensure survival of the HSC pool during chronic IFN-1 exposure. We show that IFN-1s can poise HSCs for apoptosis but induce direct cell killing only upon active proliferation, thereby establishing a mechanism for the suppressive effects of IFN-1s on HSC function.

Intracellular FGF1 protects cells from apoptosis through direct interaction with p53.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) acts by activating specific tyrosine kinase receptors on the cell surface. In addition to this classical mode of action, FGF1 also exhibits intracellular activity. Recently, we found that FGF1 translocated into the cell interior exhibits anti-apoptotic activity independent of receptor activation and downstream signaling. Here, we show that expression of FGF1 increases the survival of cells treated with various apoptosis inducers, but only when wild-type p53 is present. The p53-negative cells were not protected by either ectopically expressed or translocated FGF1. We also confirmed the requirement of p53 for the anti-apoptotic intracellular activity of FGF1 by silencing p53, resulting in loss of the protective effect of FGF1. In contrast, in p53-negative cells, intracellular FGF1 regained its anti-apoptotic properties after transfection with wild-type p53. We also found that FGF1 directly interacts with p53 in cells and that the binding region is located in the DBD domain of p53. We therefore postulate that intracellular FGF1 protects cells from apoptosis by directly interacting with p53.
