Interleukin-1? drives NEDD8 nuclear-to-cytoplasmic translocation, fostering parkin activation via NEDD8 binding to the P-ubiquitin activating site.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Neuroinflammation, typified by elevated levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1) ? and ?, and deficits in proteostasis, characterized by accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins and other aggregates, are associated with neurodegenerative disease independently and through interactions of the two phenomena. We investigated the influence of IL-1? on ubiquitination via its impact on activation of the E3 ligase parkin by either phosphorylated ubiquitin (P-Ub) or NEDD8. METHODS:Immunohistochemistry and Proximity Ligation Assay were used to assess colocalization of parkin with P-tau or NEDD8 in hippocampus from Alzheimer patients (AD) and controls. IL-1? effects on PINK1, P-Ub, parkin, P-parkin, and GSK3?-as well as phosphorylation of parkin by GSK3?-were assessed in cell cultures by western immunoblot, using two inhibitors and siRNA knockdown to suppress GSK3?. Computer modeling characterized the binding and the effects of P-Ub and NEDD8 on parkin. IL-1?, IL-1?, and parkin gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR in brains of 2- and 17-month-old PD-APP mice and wild-type littermates. RESULTS:IL-1?, IL-1?, and parkin mRNA levels were higher in PD-APP mice compared with wild-type littermates, and IL-1?-laden glia surrounded parkin- and P-tau-laden neurons in human AD. Such neurons showed a nuclear-to-cytoplasmic translocation of NEDD8 that was mimicked in IL-1?-treated primary neuronal cultures. These cultures also showed higher parkin levels and GSK3?-induced parkin phosphorylation; PINK1 levels were suppressed. In silico simulation predicted that binding of either P-Ub or NEDD8 at a singular position on parkin opens the UBL domain, exposing Ser65 for parkin activation. CONCLUSIONS:The promotion of parkin- and NEDD8-mediated ubiquitination by IL-1? is consistent with an acute neuroprotective role. However, accumulations of P-tau and P-Ub and other elements of proteostasis, such as translocated NEDD8, in AD and in response to IL-1? suggest either over-stimulation or a proteostatic failure that may result from chronic IL-1? elevation, easily envisioned considering its early induction in Down's syndrome and mild cognitive impairment. The findings further link autophagy and neuroinflammation, two important aspects of AD pathogenesis, which have previously been only loosely related.

Project description:BackgroundCancer-endothelial interplay is crucial for tumor behavior, yet the molecular mechanisms involved are largely unknown. Interleukin(IL)-30, which is expressed as a membrane-anchored cytokine by human prostate cancer (PC) cells, promotes PC vascularization and progression, but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully explored.MethodsPC-endothelial cell (EC) interactions were investigated, after coculture, by flow cytometry, transcriptional profiling, western blot, and ELISA assays. Proteome profiler phospho-kinase array unveiled the molecular pathways involved. The role of tumor-derived IL30 on the endothelium's capacity to generate autocrine circuits and vascular budding was determined following IL30 overexpression, by gene transfection, or its deletion by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Clinical value of the experimental findings was determined through immunopathological study of experimental and patient-derived PC samples, and bioinformatics of gene expression profiles from PC patients.ResultsContact with PC cells favors EC proliferation and production of angiogenic and angiocrine factors, which are boosted by PC expression of IL30, that feeds autocrine loops, mediated by IGF1, EDN1, ANG and CXCL10, and promotes vascular budding and inflammation, via phosphorylation of multiple signaling proteins, such as Src, Yes, STAT3, STAT6, RSK1/2, c-Jun, AKT and, primarily CREB, GSK-3α/β, HSP60 and p53. Deletion of the IL30 gene in PC cells inhibits endothelial expression of IGF1, EDN1, ANG and CXCL10 and substantially impairs tumor angiogenesis. In its interaction with IL30-overexpressing PC cells the endothelium boosts their expression of a wide range of immunity regulatory genes, including CCL28, CCL4, CCL5, CCR2, CCR7, CXCR4, IL10, IL13, IL17A, FASLG, IDO1, KITLG, TNFA, TNFSF10 and PDCD1, and cancer driver genes, including BCL2, CCND2, EGR3, IL6, VEGFA, KLK3, PTGS1, LGALS4, GNRH1 and SHBG. Immunopathological analyses of PC xenografts and in silico investigation of 1116 PC cases, from the Prostate Cancer Transcriptome Atlas, confirmed the correlation between the expression of IL30 and that of both pro-inflammatory genes, NOS2, TNFA, CXCR5 and IL12B, and cancer driver genes, LGALS4, GNRH1 and SHBG, which was validated in a cohort of 80 PC patients.ConclusionsIL30 regulates the crosstalk between PC and EC and reshapes their transcriptional profiles, triggering angiogenic, immunoregulatory and oncogenic gene expression programs. These findings highlight the angiostatic and oncostatic efficacy of targeting IL30 to fight PC.

Project description:BackgroundMembrane-anchored heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (proHB-EGF) yields soluble HB-EGF, which is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand, and a carboxy-terminal fragment of HB-EGF (HB-EGF-CTF) after ectodomain shedding. We previously reported that HB-EGF-CTF and unshed proHB-EGF which has the cytoplasmic domain of proHB-EGF (HB-EGF-C), translocate from the plasma membrane to the nucleus and regulate cell cycle after shedding stimuli. However, the significance of nuclear exported HB-EGF-C in human gastric cancer is unclear.MethodsWe investigated the relationship between intracellular localization of HB-EGF-C and clinical outcome in 96 gastric cancer patients treated with gastrectomy. Moreover, we established stable gastric cancer cell lines overexpressing wild-type HB-EGF (wt-HB-EGF) and mutated HB-EGF (HB-EGF-mC), which prevented HB-EGF-C nuclear translocation after shedding. Cell motility between these 2 gastric cancer cell lines was investigated using a transwell invasion assay and a wound healing assay.ResultsOf the 96 gastric cancer cases, HB-EGF-C immunoreactivity was detected in both the nucleus and cytoplasm in 19 cases (19.8 %) and in the cytoplasm only in 25 cases (26.0 %). The nuclear immunoreactivity of HB-EGF-C was significantly increased in stage pT3/4 tumors compared with pT1/2 tumors (T1/2 vs. T3/4: 11.1 % vs. 36.4 %, P < 0.01). The growth of wt-HB-EGF- and HB-EGF-mC-expressing cells significantly increased compared with control cells, but the growth of HB-EGF-mC-expressing cells was significantly decreased compared with wt-HB-EGF-expressing cells. Gastric cancer cell invasion obviously increased in wt-HB-EGF-expressing cells, but invasion in HB-EGF-mC-expressing cells showed a slight increase compared with control cells. Moreover, wt-HB-EGF overexpression increased the effectiveness of wound healing, but had no significant effect in HB-EGF-mC-expressing cells.ConclusionsBoth the function of HB-EGF as an EGFR ligand and a novel signal for HB-EGF-C nuclear translocation induce gastric cancer growth, whereas HB-EGF-C nuclear translocation independently plays a critical role in gastric cancer invasion. The present study demonstrated that HB-EGF-C nuclear translocation might be crucial in gastric cancer invasion. HB-EGF-C nuclear translocation may offer a prognostic marker and a new molecular target for gastric cancer therapy.

Project description:Post-translational modifications by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) have known roles in a myriad of cellular processes. Ubiquitin- and Ubl-binding domains transmit the information conferred by these post-translational modifications by recognizing functional surfaces and, when present, different chain structures. Numerous domains binding to ubiquitin have been characterized and their structures solved. Analogously, motifs selectively interacting with SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) have been identified in several proteins and their role in SUMO-dependent processes investigated. On the other hand, proteins that specifically recognize other Ubl modifications are known only in a few cases. The high sequence identity between NEDD8 and ubiquitin has made the identification of specific NEDD8-binding domains further complicated due to the promiscuity in the recognition by several ubiquitin-binding domains. Two evolutionarily related domains, called CUBAN (cullin-binding domain associating with NEDD8) and CoCUN (cousin of CUBAN), have been recently described. The CUBAN binds monomeric NEDD8 and neddylated cullins, but it also interacts with di-ubiquitin chains. Conversely, the CoCUN domain only binds ubiquitin. CUBAN and CoCUN provide an intriguing example of how nature solved the issue of promiscuity versus selectivity in the recognition of these two highly related molecules. The structural information available to date suggests that the ancestor of CUBAN and CoCUN was a three-helix bundle domain that diversified in KHNYN (KH and NYN domain-containing) and N4BP1 (NEDD4-binding protein-1) by acquiring different features. Indeed, these domains diverged towards two recognition modes, that recall respectively the electrostatic interaction utilized by the E3-ligase RBX1/2 in the interaction with NEDD8, and the hydrophobic features described in the recognition of ubiquitin by CUE (coupling ubiquitin conjugation to ER degradation) domains. Intriguingly, CUBAN and CoCUN domains are only found in KHNYN and N4BP1, respectively, both proteins belonging to the PRORP family whose members are characterized by the combination of protein modules involved in RNA metabolism with domains mediating ubiquitin/NEDD8 recognition. This review recapitulates the current knowledge and recent findings of CUBAN and CoCUN domains and the proteins containing them.
