Blockade of IL-22 signaling reverses erythroid dysfunction in stress-induced anemias.

ABSTRACT: Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) display severe anemia but the mechanisms underlying this phenotype are incompletely understood. Right open-reading-frame kinase 2 (RIOK2) encodes a protein kinase located at 5q15, a region frequently lost in patients with MDS del(5q). Here we show that hematopoietic cell-specific haploinsufficient deletion of Riok2 (Riok2^f/+Vav1^cre) led to reduced erythroid precursor frequency leading to anemia. Proteomic analysis of Riok2^f/+Vav1^cre erythroid precursors suggested immune system activation, and transcriptomic analysis revealed an increase in p53-dependent interleukin (IL)-22 in Riok2^f/+Vav1^cre CD4⁺ T cells (T_H22). Further, we discovered that the IL-22 receptor, IL-22RA1, was unexpectedly present on erythroid precursors. Blockade of IL-22 signaling alleviated anemia not only in Riok2^f/+Vav1^cre mice but also in wild-type mice. Serum concentrations of IL-22 were increased in the subset of patients with del(5q) MDS as well as patients with anemia secondary to chronic kidney disease. This work reveals a possible therapeutic opportunity for reversing many stress-induced anemias by targeting IL-22 signaling.

Blockade of IL-17 signaling reverses alcohol-induced liver injury and excessive alcohol drinking in mice.

Project description:Chronic alcohol abuse has a detrimental effect on the brain and liver. There is no effective treatment for these patients, and the mechanism underlying alcohol addiction and consequent alcohol-induced damage of the liver/brain axis remains unresolved. We compared experimental models of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and alcohol dependence in mice and demonstrated that genetic ablation of IL-17 receptor A (IL-17ra-/-) or pharmacological blockade of IL-17 signaling effectively suppressed the increased voluntary alcohol drinking in alcohol-dependent mice and blocked alcohol-induced hepatocellular and neurological damage. The level of circulating IL-17A positively correlated with the alcohol use in excessive drinkers and was further increased in patients with ALD as compared with healthy individuals. Our data suggest that IL-17A is a common mediator of excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol-induced liver/brain injury, and targeting IL-17A may provide a novel strategy for treatment of alcohol-induced pathology.

IL-22 Prevents Epithelial Dysfunction During Citrobacter rodentium-induced Infectious Colitis

Project description:IBD is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulated interactions between host immune responses and microbiome at the intestinal epithelium interface. Here we identified shared protein alterations in intestinal epithelial differentiation and function between IBD and Citrobacter rodentium infected FVB mice. We discovered that prophylactic treatment with the mucosal healing therapy IL-22.Fc in the infected FVB mice reduced disease severity and rescued the mice from lethality. Notably, we observed an emergence of intermediate undifferentiated intestinal epithelial cells upon infection, with disrupted expression of the solute transporter machinery as well as components critical for intestinal barrier integrity. Multi-omics analyses revealed that with IL-22.Fc treatment several disease associated changes were prevented (including disruption of the solute transporter machinery), and proper physiological homeostatic functions of the intestine was restored. Taken together, we unveiled the disease relevance of the C. rodentium induced colitis model to IBD and demonstrated the protective role of the mucosal healing therapy IL-22.Fc in ameliorating the epithelial dysfunction.

IL-6 blockade reverses bone marrow failure induced by human acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) die from complications arising from cytopenias resulting from bone marrow (BM) failure. The common presumption among physicians is that AML-induced BM failure is primarily due to overcrowding, yet BM failure is observed even with low burden of disease. Here, we use large clinical datasets to show the lack of correlation between BM blast burden and degree of cytopenias at the time of diagnosis. We develop a splenectomized xenograft model to demonstrate that transplantation of human primary AML into immunocompromised mice recapitulates the human disease course by induction of BM failure via depletion of mouse hematopoietic stem and progenitor populations. Using unbiased approaches, we show that AML-elaborated IL-6 acts to block erythroid differentiation at the proerythroblast stage and that blocking antibodies against human IL-6 can improve AML-induced anemia and prolong overall survival, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach.

Autonomic Blockade Reverses Endothelial Dysfunction in Obesity-Associated Hypertension.

Project description:Impaired nitric oxide (NO) vasodilation (endothelial dysfunction) is associated with obesity and thought to be a factor in the development of hypertension. We previously found that NO synthesis inhibition had similar pressor effects in obese hypertensives compared with healthy control during autonomic blockade, suggesting that impaired NO vasodilation is secondary to sympathetic activation. We tested this hypothesis by determining the effect of autonomic blockade (trimethaphan 4 mg/min IV) on NO-mediated vasodilation (increase in forearm blood flow to intrabrachial acetylcholine) compared with endothelial-independent vasodilation (intrabrachial sodium nitroprusside) in obese hypertensive subjects (30<body mass index<40 kg/m(2)). Acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside were given at equipotent doses (10, 30, and 50 μg/min and 1, 2, and 3 μg/min, respectively) to 14 obese subjects (49±3.6 years, 34±1 kg/m(2), 165/94±7/6 mm Hg), on separate occasions 1 month apart, randomly assigned. Autonomic blockade increased basal forearm blood flow (from 3.9±0.7 to 5.2±1.2 mL/100 mL per minute, P=0.078). As expected, NO-mediated vasodilation was blunted on the intact day compared with NO-independent vasodilation; forearm blood flow increased from 3.6±0.6 to 10.1±1.1 with the highest dose of nitroprusside, but only from 3.7±0.4 to 7.2±0.8 mL/100 mL per minute with the highest dose of acetylcholine, P<0.05. In contrast, forearm blood flow responses to acetylcholine were restored by autonomic blockade and were no longer different to nitroprusside (from 6.2±1.1 to 11.4±1.6 mL/100 mL per minute and from 5.2±0.9 to 12.5±0.9, respectively, P=0.58). Our results support the concept that sympathetic activation contributes to the impairment in NO-mediated vasodilation seen in obesity-associated hypertension and provides further rationale to explore it as a therapeutic target.

Inhibition of the integrated stress response reverses oxidative stress damage-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Project description:Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication following anesthesia and surgery that might lead to a decline in learning and memory. Oxidative stress damage is one of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying POCD. Recent studies had shown that the integrated stress response (ISR) is closely related to oxidative stress. The core response of the ISR is phosphorylation of eIF2α. Various cellular stress stimuli trigger activation of eIF2α kinases, thus causing phosphorylation of eIF2α. ISR is associated with many neurodegenerative diseases; however, the relationship between POCD and ISR has not been defined. In the present study, the tibias in 4-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were fractured under isoflurane anesthesia to establish the POCD animal model. Cognitive function was assessed by fear conditioning tests and the Y-maze from 3 to 14 days post-surgery. Western blot was used to determine the levels of PeIF2α, eIF2α, ATF4, GADD34, CHOP, BDNF, proBDNF, and p-NR2B expression. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured to determine oxidative stress in hippocampal tissues. After tibial fracture surgery in mice, the hippocampus had increased levels of PeIF2α, ATF4, GADD34, and CHOP protein, ROS-positive cells, and average fluorescence intensity, SOD activity was decreased, and the MDA level was increased. The ISR inhibitor, ISRIB, reduced the levels of PeIF2α, ATF4, GADD34, and CHOP protein, and alleviated oxidative stress in the hippocampus of POCD mice. Moreover, ISRIB ameliorated cognitive dysfunction in POCD mice. Our findings suggested that targeting ISR may represent an effective approach to combat POCD.

Local blockade of glucocorticoid activation reverses stress- and glucocorticoid-induced delays in cutaneous wound healing.

Project description:Stress slows cutaneous wound healing (WH) in an endogenous glucocorticoid (GC)-dependent fashion. We investigated whether stress/GC-induced delays in WH require further intracutaneous activation of endogenous GC; and whether blockade or down-regulation of peripheral activation normalizes WH in the face of stress. Delayed WH in our motion-restricted murine model of stress could be attributed to elevated systemic GC, because blockade of GC production (using corticotropin-releasing factor inhibitor, antalarmin), or of peripheral binding to the GC receptor [GCr], with an antagonist, Ru-486, normalized WH. We next investigated whether local blockade or down-regulation of the peripheral GC-activating enzyme, 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11?-HSD1), accelerates cutaneous WH. Topical applications of nonspecific (carbenoxolone) as well as an isoform-specific 11?-HSD1 inhibitor overcame stress and exogenous GC-induced delays in WH. Moreover, two liver X receptor ligands, TO901317 and GW3695, down-regulated expression of 11?-HSD1, attenuating stress-induced delays in WH. Combined inhibitor and liver X receptor ligand applications accelerated WH in the face of stress/systemic GC. Thus: (1) intracutaneous conversion of inactive-to-active GC accounts for stress (GC)-induced delays in WH; and (2) blockade or down-regulation of 11?-HSD1 and/or GCr normalize cutaneous WH in the face of stress/GC. Local blockade or down-regulation of cutaneous GC activation could help enhance WH in various clinical settings.

Targeted deletion of microRNA-22 promotes stress-induced cardiac dilation and contractile dysfunction.

Project description:BackgroundDelineating the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the posttranscriptional gene regulation offers new insights into how the heart adapts to pathological stress. We developed a knockout of miR-22 in mice and investigated its function in the heart.Methods and resultsHere, we show that miR-22-deficient mice are impaired in inotropic and lusitropic response to acute stress by dobutamine. Furthermore, the absence of miR-22 sensitized mice to cardiac decompensation and left ventricular dilation after long-term stimulation by pressure overload. Calcium transient analysis revealed reduced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) load in association with repressed sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase activity in mutant myocytes. Genetic ablation of miR-22 also led to a decrease in cardiac expression levels for Serca2a and muscle-restricted genes encoding proteins in the vicinity of the cardiac Z disk/titin cytoskeleton. These phenotypes were attributed in part to inappropriate repression of serum response factor activity in stressed hearts. Global analysis revealed increased expression of the transcriptional/translational repressor purine-rich element binding protein B, a highly conserved miR-22 target implicated in the negative control of muscle expression.ConclusionThese data indicate that miR-22 functions as an integrator of Ca(2+) homeostasis and myofibrillar protein content during stress in the heart and shed light on the mechanisms that enhance propensity toward heart failure.

Ibrutinib reverses IL-6-induced osimertinib resistance through inhibition of Laminin α5/FAK signaling.

Project description:Osimertinib, a 3rd generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is the first-line standard-of-care for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, while acquired drug resistance will inevitably occur. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a keystone cytokine in inflammation and cancer, while its role in osimertinib efficacy was unknown. Here we show that clinically, plasma IL-6 level predicts osimertinib efficacy in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients. Highly increased IL-6 levels are found in patients with acquired resistance to osimertinib. Addition of IL-6 or exogenous overexpression of IL-6 directly induces osimertinib resistance. Proteomics reveals LAMA5 (Laminin α5) and PTK2, protein tyrosine kinase 2, also called focal adhesion kinase (FAK), are activated in osimertinib-resistant cells, and siRNA knockdown of LAMA5 or PTK2 reverses IL-6-mediated osimertinib resistance. Next, using a large-scale compound screening, we identify ibrutinib as a potent inhibitor of IL-6 and Laminin α5/FAK signaling, which shows synergy with osimertinib in osimertinib-resistant cells with high IL-6 levels, but not in those with low IL-6 levels. In vivo, this combination inhibits tumor growth of xenografts bearing osimertinib-resistant tumors. Taken together, we conclude that Laminin α5/FAK signaling is responsible for IL-6-induced osimertinib resistance, which could be reversed by combination of ibrutinib and osimertinib.

Dichloroacetate reverses sepsis-induced hepatic metabolic dysfunction.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming between resistance and tolerance occurs within the immune system in response to sepsis. While metabolic tissues such as the liver are subjected to damage during sepsis, how their metabolic and energy reprogramming ensures survival is unclear. Employing comprehensive metabolomic, lipidomic, and transcriptional profiling in a mouse model of sepsis, we show that hepatocyte lipid metabolism, mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) energetics, and redox balance are significantly reprogrammed after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). We identify increases in TCA cycle metabolites citrate, cis-aconitate, and itaconate with reduced fumarate and triglyceride accumulation in septic hepatocytes. Transcriptomic analysis of liver tissue supports and extends the hepatocyte findings. Strikingly, the administration of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor dichloroacetate reverses dysregulated hepatocyte metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. In summary, our data indicate that sepsis promotes hepatic metabolic dysfunction and that targeting the mitochondrial PDC/PDK energy homeostat rebalances transcriptional and metabolic manifestations of sepsis within the liver.
