BBSome-deficient cells activate intraciliary CDC42 to trigger actin-dependent ciliary ectocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a pleiotropic ciliopathy caused by dysfunction of the BBSome, a cargo adaptor essential for export of transmembrane receptors from cilia. Although actin-dependent ectocytosis has been proposed to compensate defective cargo retrieval, its molecular basis remains unclear, especially in relation to BBS pathology. In this study, we investigated how actin polymerization and ectocytosis are regulated within the cilium. Our findings reveal that ciliary CDC42, a RHO-family GTPase triggers in situ actin polymerization, ciliary ectocytosis, and cilia shortening in BBSome-deficient cells. Activation of the Sonic Hedgehog pathway further enhances CDC42 activity specifically in BBSome-deficient cilia. Inhibition of CDC42 in BBSome-deficient cells decreases the frequency and duration of ciliary actin polymerization events, causing buildup of G protein coupled receptor 161 (GPR161) in bulges along the axoneme during Sonic Hedgehog signaling. Overall, our study identifies CDC42 as a key trigger of ciliary ectocytosis. Hyperactive ciliary CDC42 and ectocytosis and the resulting loss of ciliary material might contribute to BBS disease severity.

CLN3 deficient cells display defects in the ARF1-Cdc42 pathway and actin-dependent events.

Project description:Juvenile Batten disease (juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, JNCL) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in CLN3, a protein of undefined function. Cell lines derived from patients or mice with CLN3 deficiency have impairments in actin-regulated processes such as endocytosis, autophagy, vesicular trafficking, and cell migration. Here we demonstrate the small GTPase Cdc42 is misregulated in the absence of CLN3, and thus may be a common link to multiple cellular defects. We discover that active Cdc42 (Cdc42-GTP) is elevated in endothelial cells from CLN3 deficient mouse brain, and correlates with enhanced PAK-1 phosphorylation, LIMK membrane recruitment, and altered actin-driven events. We also demonstrate dramatically reduced plasma membrane recruitment of the Cdc42 GTPase activating protein, ARHGAP21. In line with this, GTP-loaded ARF1, an effector of ARHGAP21 recruitment, is depressed. Together these data implicate misregulated ARF1-Cdc42 signaling as a central defect in JNCL cells, which in-turn impairs various cell functions. Furthermore our findings support concerted action of ARF1, ARHGAP21, and Cdc42 to regulate fluid phase endocytosis in mammalian cells. The ARF1-Cdc42 pathway presents a promising new avenue for JNCL therapeutic development.

Cdc42-dependent actin dynamics controls maturation and secretory activity of dendritic cells.

Project description:Cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) is a member of the Rho guanosine triphosphatase family and has pivotal functions in actin organization, cell migration, and proliferation. To further study the molecular mechanisms of dendritic cell (DC) regulation by Cdc42, we used Cdc42-deficient DCs. Cdc42 deficiency renders DCs phenotypically mature as they up-regulate the co-stimulatory molecule CD86 from intracellular storages to the cell surface. Cdc42 knockout DCs also accumulate high amounts of invariant chain-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II complexes at the cell surface, which cannot efficiently present peptide antigens (Ag's) for priming of Ag-specific CD4 T cells. Proteome analyses showed a significant reduction in lysosomal MHC class II-processing proteins, such as cathepsins, which are lost from DCs by enhanced secretion. As these effects on DCs can be mimicked by chemical actin disruption, our results propose that Cdc42 control of actin dynamics keeps DCs in an immature state, and cessation of Cdc42 activity during DC maturation facilitates secretion as well as rapid up-regulation of intracellular molecules to the cell surface.

Th1 Cells Rolling on Selectins Trigger DAP12-Dependent Signals That Activate Integrin ?L?2.

Project description:During inflammation, both neutrophils and effector T cells use selectins to roll and integrins to arrest in postcapillary venules. In both cell types, chemokines can transduce signals that convert integrin ?L?2 to a high-affinity conformation, which interacts with ICAM-1 to mediate arrest. In neutrophils, selectins also trigger an immunoreceptor-like signaling cascade that converts integrin ?L?2 to an intermediate-affinity conformation, which interacts with ICAM-1 to slow rolling. It is not known whether selectins induce similar signaling events in T cells. Ag engagement causes phosphorylation of ITAMs on the TCR; these motifs recruit kinases and adaptors that lead to the activation of ?L?2. We found that mouse Th1 cells rolling on P- or E-selectin triggered signals that promoted ?L?2-dependent slow rolling on ICAM-1 in vitro and in vivo. The selectin signaling cascade resembled that used by the TCR, except that unexpectedly, Th1 cells employed the ITAM-bearing protein DAP12, which was not known to be expressed in these cells. Importantly, outside-in signaling through ligand-occupied ?L?2 also required DAP12. Cooperative selectin and chemokine signaling in Th1 cells promoted ?L?2-dependent slow rolling and arrest in vitro and in vivo and migration into Ag-challenged tissues in vivo. Our findings reveal an important function for DAP12 in Th1 cells and a new mechanism to recruit effector T cells to sites of inflammation.

Cdc42 controls DC-maturation - Cdc42-dependent actin dynamics controls maturation and secretory activity of dendritic cells

Project description:Cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) is a member of the Rho GTPase family and has pivotal functions in actin organization, cell migration and proliferation. Cdc42 has been shown to regulate antigen (Ag)-uptake in immature dendritic cells (DC) and controls their migration from tissues to lymph nodes. Previous reports demonstrated that Cdc42 is inactivated upon DC-maturation to avoid continued Ag-acquisition. To further study the molecular mechanisms of DC-control by Cdc42, we used bone marrow-derived DCs from Cdc42-deficient mice. We show that Cdc42-deficient DCs are phenotypically mature without additional maturation stimuli, as they upregulate CD86 from intracellular storages to the cell surface. They also accumulate invariant chain (Ii)-MHC class II complexes at the cell surface, which cannot efficiently present peptide Ag for priming of Ag-specific CD4 T cells. Lack of Cdc42 in immature DCs does not allow MHC class II maturation, as lysosomal Cathepsins are lost into the supernatant and Ii-MHC class II complexes cannot mature. Therefore Cdc42-deficient DCs are "pseudomature" and lose most functional hallmarks of antigen-presenting cells. Our results propose that Cdc42 keeps DCs in an immature state, while downregulation of Cdc42-activity during maturation facilitates generation of CD86+MHCII+ mature DCs.

ERK3/MAPK6 dictates CDC42/RAC1 activity and ARP2/3-dependent actin polymerization.

Project description:The actin cytoskeleton is tightly controlled by RhoGTPases, actin binding-proteins and nucleation-promoting factors to perform fundamental cellular functions. We have previously shown that ERK3, an atypical MAPK, controls IL-8 production and chemotaxis (Bogueka et al., 2020). Here, we show in human cells that ERK3 directly acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for CDC42 and phosphorylates the ARP3 subunit of the ARP2/3 complex at S418 to promote filopodia formation and actin polymerization, respectively. Consistently, depletion of ERK3 prevented both basal and EGF-dependent RAC1 and CDC42 activation, maintenance of F-actin content, filopodia formation, and epithelial cell migration. Further, ERK3 protein bound directly to the purified ARP2/3 complex and augmented polymerization of actin in vitro. ERK3 kinase activity was required for the formation of actin-rich protrusions in mammalian cells. These findings unveil a fundamentally unique pathway employed by cells to control actin-dependent cellular functions.

R-loops and impaired autophagy trigger cGAS-dependent inflammation via micronuclei formation in Senataxin-deficient cells.

Project description:Senataxin is an evolutionarily conserved DNA/RNA helicase, whose dysfunctions are linked to neurodegeneration and cancer. A main activity of this protein is the removal of R-loops, which are nucleic acid structures capable to promote DNA damage and replication stress. Here we found that Senataxin deficiency causes the release of damaged DNA into extranuclear bodies, called micronuclei, triggering the massive recruitment of cGAS, the apical sensor of the innate immunity pathway, and the downstream stimulation of interferon genes. Such cGAS-positive micronuclei are characterized by defective membrane envelope and are particularly abundant in cycling cells lacking Senataxin, but not after exposure to a DNA breaking agent or in absence of the tumor suppressor BRCA1 protein, a partner of Senataxin in R-loop removal. Micronuclei with a discontinuous membrane are normally cleared by autophagy, a process that we show is impaired in Senataxin-deficient cells. The formation of Senataxin-dependent inflamed micronuclei is promoted by the persistence of nuclear R-loops stimulated by the DSIF transcription elongation complex and the engagement of EXO1 nuclease activity on nuclear DNA. Coherently, high levels of EXO1 result in poor prognosis in a subset of tumors lacking Senataxin expression. Hence, R-loop homeostasis impairment, together with autophagy failure and unscheduled EXO1 activity, elicits innate immune response through micronuclei formation in cells lacking Senataxin.

Arf6 Can Trigger Wave Regulatory Complex-Dependent Actin Assembly Independent of Arno.

Project description:The small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) anchors at the plasma membrane to orchestrate key functions, such as membrane trafficking and regulating cortical actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. A number of studies have identified key players that interact with Arf6 to regulate actin dynamics in diverse cell processes, yet it is still unknown whether Arf6 can directly signal to the wave regulatory complex to mediate actin assembly. By reconstituting actin dynamics on supported lipid bilayers, we found that Arf6 in co-ordination with Rac1(Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1) can directly trigger actin polymerization by recruiting wave regulatory complex components. Interestingly, we demonstrated that Arf6 triggers actin assembly at the membrane directly without recruiting the Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) ARNO (ARF nucleotide-binding site opener), which is able to activate Arf1 to enable WRC-dependent actin assembly. Furthermore, using labelled E. coli, we demonstrated that actin assembly by Arf6 also contributes towards efficient phagocytosis in THP-1 macrophages. Taken together, this study reveals a mechanism for Arf6-driven actin polymerization.

Dynamic Actin Reorganization and Vav/Cdc42-Dependent Actin Polymerization Promote Macrophage Aggregated LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Uptake and Catabolism.

Project description:Objective- During atherosclerosis, LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) accumulate in the arteries, where they become modified, aggregated, and retained. Such deposits of aggregated LDL (agLDL) can be recognized by macrophages, which attempt to digest and clear them. AgLDL catabolism promotes internalization of cholesterol and foam cell formation, which leads to the progression of atherosclerosis. Therapeutic blockade of this process may delay disease progression. When macrophages interact with agLDL in vitro, they form a novel extracellular, hydrolytic compartment-the lysosomal synapse (LS)-aided by local actin polymerization to digest agLDL. Here, we investigated the specific regulators involved in actin polymerization during the formation of the LS. Approach and Results- We demonstrate in vivo that atherosclerotic plaque macrophages contacting agLDL deposits polymerize actin and form a compartment strikingly similar to those made in vitro. Live cell imaging revealed that macrophage cortical F-actin depolymerization is required for actin polymerization to support the formation of the LS. This depolymerization is cofilin-1 dependent. Using siRNA-mediated silencing, pharmacological inhibition, genetic knockout, and stable overexpression, we elucidate key roles for Cdc42 Rho GTPase and GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) Vav in promoting actin polymerization during the formation of the LS and exclude a role for Rac1. Conclusions- These results highlight critical roles for dynamic macrophage F-actin rearrangement and polymerization via cofilin-1, Vav, and Cdc42 in LS formation, catabolism of agLDL, and foam cell formation. These proteins might represent therapeutic targets to treat atherosclerotic disease.

Transducer of Cdc42-dependent actin assembly promotes epidermal growth factor-induced cell motility and invasiveness.

Project description:Toca-1 (transducer of Cdc42-dependent actin assembly) interacts with the Cdc42·N-WASP and Abi1·Rac·WAVE F-actin branching pathways that function in lamellipodia formation and cell motility. However, the potential role of Toca-1 in these processes has not been reported. Here, we show that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces Toca-1 localization to lamellipodia, where it co-localizes with F-actin and Arp2/3 complex in A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells. EGF also induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Toca-1 and interactions with N-WASP and Abi1. Stable knockdown of Toca-1 expression by RNA interference has no effect on cell growth, EGF receptor expression, or internalization. However, Toca-1 knockdown cells display defects in EGF-induced filopodia and lamellipodial protrusions compared with control cells. Further analyses reveal a role for Toca-1 in localization of Arp2/3 and Abi1 to lamellipodia. Toca-1 knockdown cells also display a significant defect in EGF-induced motility and invasiveness. Taken together, these results implicate Toca-1 in coordinating actin assembly within filopodia and lamellipodia to promote EGF-induced cell migration and invasion.

Novel CTRP8-RXFP1-JAK3-STAT3 axis promotes Cdc42-dependent actin remodeling for enhanced filopodia formation and motility in human glioblastoma cells.

Project description:C1q tumor necrosis factor-related peptide 8 (CTRP8) is the least studied member of the C1Q-TNF-related peptide family. We identified CTRP8 as a ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The CTRP8-RXFP1 ligand-receptor system protects human GBM cells against the DNA-alkylating damage-inducing temozolomide (TMZ), the drug of choice for the treatment of patients with GBM. The DNA protective role of CTRP8 was dependent on a functional RXFP1-STAT3 signaling cascade and targeted the monofunctional glycosylase N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG) for more efficient base excision repair of TMZ-induced DNA-damaged sites. CTRP8 also improved the survival of GBM cells by upregulating anti-apoptotic BCl-2 and BCL-XL. Here, we have identified Janus-activated kinase 3 (JAK3) as a novel member of a novel CTRP8-RXFP1-JAK3-STAT3 signaling cascade that caused an increase in cellular protein content and activity of the small Rho GTPase Cdc42. This is associated with significant F-actin remodeling and increased GBM motility. Cdc42 was critically important for the upregulation of the actin nucleation complex N-Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein/Arp3/4 and actin elongation factor profilin-1. The activation of the RXFP1-JAK3-STAT3-Cdc42 axis by both RXFP1 agonists, CTRP8 and relaxin-2, caused extensive filopodia formation. This coincided with enhanced activity of ezrin, a key factor in tethering F-actin to the plasma membrane, and inhibition of the actin filament severing activity of cofilin. The F-actin remodeling and pro-migratory activities promoted by the novel RXFP1-JAK3-STAT3-Cdc42 axis were blocked by JAK3 inhibitor tofacitinib and STAT3 inhibitor STAT3 inhibitor VI. This provides a new rationale for the design of JAK3 and STAT3 inhibitors with better brain permeability for clinical treatment of the pervasive brain invasiveness of GBM.
