A mouse model for functional dissection of TAB1 O-GlcNAcylation.

ABSTRACT: Background: O-GlcNAcylation is a posttranslational modification associated with various physiological and pathophysiological processes including diabetes, cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the role of specific O-GlcNAc sites and their link to phenotypes remain largely unexplored due to lack of suitable in vivo models. TGF-? activated kinase-1 binding protein-1 (TAB1) is a scaffolding protein required for TGF-? activated kinase-1 (TAK1) mediated signalling. A single O-GlcNAc site has been identified on human TAB1 that modulates TAK1-mediated cytokine release in cells. Methods: Here, we report the generation of the Tab1 S393A mouse model using a constitutive knock-in strategy. The Tab1 S393A mice carry a Ser393Ala (S393A) mutation that leads to loss of O-GlcNAcylation site on TAB1. Results: We did not observe any obvious phenotype in Tab1 S393A mice. Loss of O-GlcNAcylation on TAB1 has no consequences on TAB1 protein level or on TAB1-TAK1 interaction. Conclusions: The homozygous Tab1 S393A mice are viable and develop with no obvious abnormalities, providing a powerful tool to further investigate the role of O-GlcNAc on TAB1 in the inflammatory response in the context of a whole organism.

Project description:Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening disease and the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Thus, proper animal models are urgently required to better understand its pathogenesis. Our current study aims to establish a reliable, time and cost-effective mouse AD model. To conduct the meta-analysis, we searched PubMed for related studies up to 2021 and statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4. For the animal experiment, 6-week-old male ApoE-/- mice were given β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) at a concentration of 1 g/L for 3 weeks before being infused with saline, 1000 ng/kg/min or 2500 ng/kg/min angiotensin II (AngII) via osmotic mini pumps for 2 or 4 weeks. To determine the presence of AD, we performed B-ultrasonography, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and van Gieson staining. The result of the meta-analysis showed that the use of BAPN and more than 2000 ng/kg/min AngII can increase the rate of AD formation, whereas administrating Ang II for more than 28 days has no significant effect on the rate of AD formation when compared with the less than 14 days group. In the present study, mice treated with BAPN combined with 2500 ng/kg/min AngII for 2 weeks (12/20) had a significantly higher AD formation rate than mice treated with BAPN combined with 1000 ng/kg/min Ang II for 4 weeks (2/10), and had a similar model formation rate compared with the mice treated withβ-aminopropionitrile combined with 2500 ng/kg/min AngII for 4 weeks (6/10). There were 3 mice (3/10) and 6 mice (6/20) who died in the group treated with β-aminopropionitrile combined with 2500 ng/kg/min AngII for 4 weeks and 2 weeks respectively, and only one mouse (1/10) died in the group treated with β-aminopropionitrile combined with 1000 ng/kg/min AngII for 4 weeks. In 6-week-old male ApoE-/- mice that received with 1 g/L BAPN in the drinking water for 3 weeks along with 2500 ng/kg/min AngII infusion via osmotic mini pumps for 2 weeks, the highest model formation rate and relative lower cumulative mortality were noted.
