Critical role for very-long chain sphingolipids in invariant natural killer T cell development and homeostasis

ABSTRACT: The role of sphingolipids (SLs) in the immune system has come under increasing scrutiny recently due to the emerging contributions that these important membrane components play in regulating a variety of immunological processes. The acyl chain length of SLs appears particularly critical in determining SL function. Here we show a role for very-long acyl chain SLs (VLC-SLs) in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell maturation in the thymus and homeostasis in the liver. Ceramide synthase 2 (CerS2) null mice, which lack VLC-SLs, were susceptible to a hepatotropic strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, which is due to a reduction in the number of iNKT cells. Bone marrow chimera experiments indicated that hematopoietic-derived VLC-SLs are essential for maturation of iNKT cells in the thymus, whereas parenchymal-derived VLC-SLs are crucial for iNKT cell survival and maintenance in the liver. Our findings suggest a critical role for VLC-SL in iNKT cell physiology.

Catabolism of strigolactones by a carboxylesterase

Project description:Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones that control shoot branching and communications between host plants and symbiotic fungi or root parasitic plants. Extensive studies have identified the key components participating in SL biosynthesis and signaling, whereas the catabolism or deactivation of endogenous SLs in planta remains largely unknown. Here we report that the Arabidopsis carboxylesterase 15 (AtCXE15) and its orthologues function as efficient hydrolases of SLs. We show that overexpression of AtCXE15 promotes shoot branching by dampening SL-inhibited axillary bud outgrowth. We further demonstrate that AtCXE15 could bind and efficiently hydrolyze SLs both in vitro and in planta. We also provide evidence that AtCXE15 is capable to catalyze hydrolysis of diverse SL analogues and that such CXE15-dependent catabolism of SLs is evolutionarily conserved in seed plants. These results disclose a catalytic mechanism underlying homeostatic regulation of SLs in plants, which also provides a rational approach to spatial-temporally manipulate the endogenous SLs and thus architecture of crops and ornamental plants.

The effect of exogenous strigolactone on gene expression in Arabidopsis seedlings

Project description:Strigolactones (SLs) have recently been found to regulate shoot branching, but the functions of SLs at other stages of development and the regulation of SL-related gene expression are mostly unknown in Arabidopsis. In this study, we performed microarray analysis to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying SL signaling.

Transcriptome and proteome analyses and the role of atypical calpain protein and autophagy in the spliced leader silencing pathway in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Under persistent ER stress, Trypanosoma brucei parasites induce the spliced leader silencing (SLS) pathway. In SLS, transcription of the SL RNA gene, the SL donor to all mRNAs, is extinguished, arresting transsplicing and leading to programmed cell death(PCD). In this study, we investigated the transcriptome following silencing of SEC63, a factor essential for protein translocation across the ER membrane, and whose silencing induces SLS. The proteome of SEC63-silenced cells was analyzed with an emphasis on SLS-specific alterations in protein expression, and modifications that do not directly result from perturbations in trans-splicing. One such protein identified is an atypical calpain SKCRP7.1/7.2. Cosilencing of SKCRP7.1/7.2 and SEC63 eliminated SLS induction due its role in translocating the PK3 kinase. This kinase initiates SLS by migrating to the nucleus and phosphorylating TRF4 leading to shut-off of SL RNA transcription. Thus, SKCRP7.1 is involved in SLS signaling and the accompanying PCD. The role of autophagy in SLS was also investigated; eliminating autophagy through VPS34 or ATG7 silencing demonstrated that autophagy is not essential for SLS induction, but is associated with PCD. Thus, this study identified factors that are used by the parasite to cope with ER stress and to induce SLS and PCD.

Essential functions for ID proteins at multiple checkpoints in natural killer T cell development

Project description:Thymic iNKT cell development is divided into four stages (stage 0-3) that are characterised, in C57BL/6 mouse strain, by the differential expression of surface markers, such as CD24, CD44 and NK1.1. During transition from immature to mature iNKT cell subsets, gene expression is tightly regulated. Here, we used microarray analysis to detail the influence of the transcriptional regulator ID3 during iNKT cell maturation in the thymus. Stage 1 (Tet+CD24-CD44-NK1.1-) and Stage 2 (Tet+CD24-CD44+NK1.1-) iNKT cells from WT and Id3KO thymi were FACS sorted for RNA extraction and Affymetrix hybridisation.

Combining deep-sequencing, proteomics, phosphoproteomics and functional screens to discover novel regulators of sphingolipids homeostasis.

Project description:Sphingolipids (SLs) are essential components of cell membranes and broad-range bioactive signaling molecules. SL levels must be tightly regulated as imbalances affect cellular function and contribute to pathologies ranging from neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders to cancer and aging. Deciphering how SL homeostasis is maintained and uncovering new regulators are two key aspects for understanding lipid biology and defining opportunities for therapeutic interventions. Here we combine multiple systematic technologies to identify the changes of the transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon SL depletion by myriocin. Surprisingly we find that SL depletion triggers only small changes on the expression and steady-state levels of regulatory proteins of SL homeostasis. However dramatic regulation occurs at level of the phosphoproteome suggesting that maintaining SL homeostasis demands rapid responses that cannot occur at the transcriptional level. To discover which of the phosphoproteomic changes are required for the cell’s first-line response to SL depletion and which are the bi-product of the cellular changes occurring following SL alterations, we combined the results with systematic growth screens for genes required during growth in myriocin when either mutated or overexpressed. By following the rate of SL biosynthesis in those candidates that are both essential for growth during myriocin and are phosphorylated in response to the drug we uncovered new regulators of SL homeostasis.

CerS2 dependent Sphingolipid - protein interactions in rat beta cell line Ins1E

Project description:To define the beta cell Sphingolipid-protein interactome, we performed a chemoproteomic screen in which a chemically modified SL precursor (photoactivatable and clickable sphingosine, pacSph) was fed to cells and rapidly incorporated into de novo synthesized SLs. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation covalently crosslinked cellular SL-protein complexes, allowing for cell lysis under harsh conditions, pulldown and subsequent MS-based identification and quantification of SL interacting proteins. CrispR/Cas9 knockout of the SL specific catabolic enzyme Sgpl1 ensured that only SLs are labelled with pacSph. Furthermore, stable isotope labelling allowed direct comparison of SBPs in several cell lines in the same MS run.

Strigolactones negatively regulate Tobacco mosaic virus resistance in Nicotiana benthamiana

Project description:Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that regulate diverse developmental processes and environmental responses in plants. It has been discovered that SLs play an important role in regulating plant immune resistance to pathogens, but there are currently no reports on their role in the interaction between Nicotiana benthamiana and Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). In this study, the exogenous application of SLs weakened the resistance of N. benthamiana to TMV, promoting TMV infection, whereas the exogenous application of Tis108, an SL inhibitor, resulted in the opposite effect. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) inhibition of two key SL synthesis enzyme genes, NtCCD7 and NtCCD8, enhanced the resistance of N. benthamiana to TMV. Additionally, we conducted a screening of N. benthamiana related to TMV infection. TMV-infected plants treated with SLs were compared to the control by using RNA-seq. KEGG enrichment analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) suggested that plant hormone signaling transduction may play a significant role in the SL-TMV-N. benthamiana interactions. This study reveals new functions of SLs in regulating plant immunity and provides a reference for controlling TMV diseases in production.

Gene expression profiling of CD244+CXCR6+ C2 iNKT cell subet and CD244-CXCR6+ C1 iNKT cell subset

Project description:We identified a novel subset of iNKT cells, C2 iNKT cells, that circulate in the periphery. Correspondingly, we characterized the tissue-resident iNKT cell subset, C1 iNKT cells. The development and terminal maturation of C2 iNKT cells completely depended on the thymic epithelial IL-15 niche, whereas C1 iNKT cells were regulated also by local IL-15 niches in peripheral tissues. C2 iNKT cells expressed high levels of genes related to cytotoxicity and exhibited more NK cell-like features. Functionally, C2 iNKT cells regulated self-antigen expression for immune tolerance in the thymus and mediated cancer immunosurveillance in the periphery.
