Project description:The NF-κB pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome. While canonical NF-κB signaling is well studied, there is little information on the divergent non-canonical NF-κB pathway in the context of pancreatic islet dysfunction in diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that pharmacological activation of the non-canonical NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo. Further, we identify NIK as a critical negative regulator of beta cell function as pharmacological NIK activation results in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets. NIK levels are elevated in pancreatic islets isolated from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, which exhibit increased processing of non-canonical NF-κB components p100 to p52, and accumulation of RelB. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), two ligands associated with diabetes, induce NIK in islets. Mice with constitutive beta cell intrinsic NIK activation present impaired insulin secretion with DIO. NIK activation triggers the non-canonical NF-κB transcriptional network to induce genes identified in human type 2 diabetes genome-wide association studies linked to beta cell failure. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in diet-induced obesity. We identify a role for Nuclear Factor inducing κB (NIK) in pancreatic beta cell failure. NIK activation disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo and impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets in vitro. NIK activation also perturbs beta cell insulin secretion in a diet-induced obesity mouse model. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in obesity. To uncover the role of NIK in pancreatic beta cells, we performed a gene expression microarray analysis comparing pancreatic islets with constitutive beta cell intrinsicNIK activation from the 16 week old mice (beta cell specific TRAF2 and TRAF2 knockout mice) to their controls (n=3 per group).

Project description:NF-κB-Inducing Kinase (NIK), which is essential for the activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway, regulates diverse processes in immunity, development, and disease. While recent studies have elucidated important functions of NIK in adaptive immune cells and cancer cell metabolism, the role of NIK in metabolic-driven inflammatory responses in innate immune cells remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that NIK-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages exhibit defects in mitochondrial-dependent metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) functions that impair acquisition of a pro-repair, anti-inflammatory phenotype. Subsequently, NIK-deficient mice exhibit skewing of myeloid cells characterized by aberrant eosinophil, monocyte, and macrophage cell populations in the blood, bone marrow, and adipose tissue. Furthermore, NIK-deficient blood monocytes display hyperresponsiveness to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and elevated TNFα production ex vivo, indicative of systemic inflammation. These findings suggest that NIK is required for the metabolic rewiring of mitochondrial respiration that is critical for balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory myeloid immune cell functions. Overall, our work highlights a previously unrecognized role for NIK as a molecular rheostat that fine-tunes immunometabolism in innate immunity and suggests that metabolic dysfunction may be an important driver of inflammatory diseases caused by aberrant NIK expression or activity.

Project description:Breast cancers with HER2 overexpression are sensitive to drugs targeting the receptor or its kinase activity. HER2-targeting drugs are initially effective against HER2- positive breast cancer, but resistance inevitably occurs. We previously found that nuclear factor kappa B is hyper-activated in the subset of HER-2 positive breast cancer cells and tissue specimens. In this study, we report that constitutively active NF-κB rendered HER2-positive cancer cells resistant to anti-HER2 drugs, and cells selected for Lapatinib resistance up-regulated NF-κB. In both circumstances, cells were anti-apoptotic and grew rapidly as xenografts. Lapatinib-resistant cells were refractory to HER2 and NF-κB inhibitors alone but were sensitive to their combination, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy. A subset of NF-κB-responsive genes was overexpressed in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, and patients with this NF-κB signature had poor clinical outcome. Anti-HER2 drug resistance may be a consequence of NF-κB activation, and selection for resistance results in NF-κB activation, suggesting this transcription factor is central to oncogenesis and drug resistance. Clinically, the combined targeting of HER2 and NF-κB suggests a potential treatment paradigm for patients who relapse after anti-HER2 therapy. Patients with these cancers may be treated by simultaneously suppressing HER2 signaling and NF-κB activation. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression differences underlying the characterictic survival differences between the SKR6, SKR6-Vector, SKR6CA, and SKR6LR cell lines, which are defined as follows: SKR6: A clonal derivative of SKBR3 cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enrich for elevated HER2 levels, SKR6CA: SKR6 cells retrovirally transduced with constitutively active NF-κB relA/p65 (CAp65) and selected with puromycin, SKR6 vector: SKR6 cells transduced with the pQCXIP empty retroviral vector and selected with puromycin, and SKR6LR: SKR6 cells treated with increasing lapatinib concentrations (0.2 to 5 μM) for several months. We sorted SKBR-3 cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enriched for cell population with elevated HER2 expression, which we termed SKR6. The following cell lines were then created from SKR6 cells: SKR6CA: SKR6 cells retrovirally transduced with constitutively active NF-κB relA/p65 (CAp65), SKR6 vector: SKR6 cells transduced with the pQCXIP empty retroviral vector and selected with puromycin, and SKR6LR: SKR6 cells treated with increasing lapatinib concentrations (0.2 to 5 μM) for several months.

Project description:Proper regulation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcriptional activity is required for normal lymphocyte function, and deregulated NF-κB signaling can facilitate lymphomagenesis. We demonstrate that the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein created by the recurrent t(11;18)(q21;q21) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma induces proteolytic cleavage of NF-κB–inducing kinase (NIK) at arginine 325. NIK cleavage requires the concerted actions of both fusion partners and generates a C-terminal NIK fragment that retains kinase activity and is resistant to proteasomal degradation. The resulting deregulated NIK activity is associated with constitutive noncanonical NF-κB signaling, enhanced B cell adhesion, and apoptosis resistance. Our study reveals the gain-of-function proteolytic activity of a fusion oncoprotein and highlights the importance of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in B lymphoproliferative disease.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often considered a disease driven by autoreactive B cells and anti-nuclear antibodies. However, therapeutic targeting of B cells, for example through BAFF blockade, has been only partially effective in SLE. NF-κB Inducing Kinase (NIK) mediates non-canonical NF-κB signaling downstream of disease relevant TNF family members, such as BAFF, TWEAK, CD40, and OX40. We hypothesized that NIK inhibition might be more efficacious than BAFF blockade in lupus, and therefore generated highly selective and potent small molecule inhibitors (SMI) of NIK to test this hypothesis. RNASeq was used to investigate the effects of one of these SMIs of NIK, NIK SMI1, on TWEAK-stimulated Mouse renal proximal tubule-interstitial epithelial cells (RPTEC).

Project description:The inhibitor of kB kinase (IKK) is the master regulator of the nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) pathway, involved in inflammatory, immune and apoptotic responses. In the ‘canonical’ NF-kB pathway, IKK phosphorylates inhibitor of kB (IkB) proteins and this triggers ubiquitin-mediated degradation of IkB, leading to release and nuclear translocation of NF-B transcription factors.
The data presented show that the IKK and IKK subunits recognize a YDDX docking site located within the disordered C-terminal region of IkBa. Our results also suggest that IKK contributes to the docking interaction with higher affinity as compared to IKK.

This study compares nine t(11;18)-positive MALT lymphomas (8 from the stomach and 1 from lung) and eight translocation negative MALT lymphomas (all from the stomach) using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). All cases were subjected to Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarray analysis. The cases used in this study are the same cases used for the study by Hamoudi et al. (2010) entitled "Differential expression of NF-kB target genes in MALT lymphoma with and without chromosome translocation: insights into molecular mechanism" with GEO reference number: GSE18736 and PubMed ID: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20520640 All cases were subjected to non-specific filtering to eliminate non-variant probes, then the U133A and U133B probes were collapsed and the collapsed set was subjected to GSEA using the NF-kB target gene set as described in Hamoudi et al. (2010) study mentioned above. The 34 samples in this study are identical to the ones done in the previous series except that the gene set enrichment was done on just those 34 samples and not the complete set.

Project description:Metabolic reprograming towards aerobic glycolysis is a pivotal mechanism that shapes immune responses. While deregulated T cell metabolism is associated with autoimmune diseases, metabolic deficiency contributes to T cell exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Here we describe a posttranslational mechanism of glycolysis regulation mediated by the NF-kB-inducing kinase (NIK). NIK deficiency impairs glycolysis induction, rendering CD8 effector T cells hypofunctional with features of exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Conversely, ectopic expression of NIK promotes CD8 T cell metabolism and prevents exhaustion, thereby profoundly enhancing antitumor immunity and improving the efficacy of T cell adoptive therapy. Interestingly, although NIK is known as a kinase mediating activation of noncanonical NF-kB, NIK regulates T cell metabolism via an NF-kB-independent mechanism that involves stabilization of hexokinase 2 (HK2), a rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. NIK deficiency causes autophagic degradation of HK2, at least in part due to aberrant ROS accumulation. NIK phosphorylates, and maintains the activity of, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), an enzyme mediating production of the antioxidant NADPH required for preventing ROS accumulation and oxidative stress. We provide genetic evidence that the G6PD-NADPH redox system has a vital role in regulating HK2 stability and metabolism in activated T cells. These findings establish NIK as a pivotal regulator of T cell metabolism and highlight a posttranslational mechanism of metabolic regulation involving the G6PD-NADPH redox system.
