Project description:Cutaneous squamous tumors rely on autocrine/paracrine loops for proper fitness. Targeting this Achilles’ heel is therefore considered a potential avenue for patient treatment. However, the mechanisms that engage and sustain such programs during tumor ontogeny are poorly understood. Here, we show that two Rho/Rac activators, the exchange factors Vav2 and Vav3, control the expression of an epithelial autocrine/paracrine program that regulates keratinocyte survival and proliferation as well as the creation of an inflammatory microenvironment. Vav proteins are also critically involved in some of the subsequent autocrine signaling loops activated in keratinocytes. The genetic inactivation of both Vav proteins reduces tumor multiplicity without hampering skin homeostasis, thus suggesting that pan-specific Vav therapies may be useful in skin tumor prevention and treatment.

The dorsal skin of WT and DKO mice (Vav2-/-;Vav3-/-) were treated with either one or four applications of phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate (TPA) (6.8 nmol in 200 μl acetone) two days after shaving. As control, we applied 200 μl of acetone. Animals were euthanized 24 hours after treatment.

Project description:Monocytes and macrophages as components of innate immunity are critical for both homeostasis and inflammation. The scavenger receptor CD36, highly expressed in macrophages, promotes immunological responses mediated by recognition of molecular patterns on pathogens or endogenous ligands on apoptotic cells. CD36 mediated lipid uptake also allows metabolic adaptations that influence macrophage phenotype and polarization. CD36 binds diverse lipids including fatty acids and various lipoproteins, which could exert differential effects on macrophage conversion. Previous studies reported opposite outcomes due to CD36-mediated lipid uptake; macrophages converted to either an inflammatory or an alternatively activated phenotype. To determine the role of this receptor in vivo in the presence of physiological lipid sources, we created macrophage-specific CD36 knockout mice. Using zymosan-induced peritonitis to activate immune cells, we show through single cell RNA sequencing analysis that a broad variety of resident and infiltrated immune cells are present in the peritoneum 72h after the initial stimulus. CD36 deficiency did not affect the numbers of cells during the infiltration and resolution phases, but CD36 deficiency altered the macrophage transcriptome. Pathways related to innate immunity, antigen presentation and oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated in macrophages with CD36 deficiency, whereas those related to efferocytosis, adaptive immunity and B cell activation were downregulated. Despite these gene changes, neither immunoglobulin production nor peritoneal efferocytosis was altered by macrophage CD36 deficiency, nor were there changes in the numbers of circulating white blood cells. Thus, CD36 deficiency does not reduce the inflammatory phenotype of induced peritoneal macrophages.

Project description:Etv2 transgene was expressed from ROSA26 locus by removing floxed STOP cassette by Vav Cre transgene. KSL or Mac1+/Gr1+ cells were sorted from control or Vav-Etv2 bone marrow and compared for gene expression in duplicate. This study will reveal the effect of Etv2 transgene in adult hematopoietic cells. The effect of Etv2 overexpression in relevant mouse tissue will be important to understand its effect in comparison with in ES cells. Genes aberrantly regulated by Etv2 overexpression will help to understand the caveat when using Etv2 to induce endothelial and hematopoietic cells in vitro.

Project description:Here, we report that the Rho GTPase activators Vav2 and Vav3 utilize a new, miR-200c-dependent mechanism that maintains the epithelial state by limiting the abundance of the Zeb2 transcriptional repressor in breast cancer cells. In parallel, Vav proteins engage an expression program that maintains epithelial cell traits in 3D culture. Depletion of Vav proteins triggers EMT in epithelioid breast cancer cells and, conversely, expression of constitutively active Vav2 restores both miR-200c expression and epithelial traits in mesenchymal breast cancer cells. In silico analyses suggest that the negative Vav-Zeb2 axis is operative in human luminal breast tumors.

Project description:Fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The innate immune system senses fungal pathogens through a family of Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which signal through the conserved immune adapter Card9. Although Card9 complexes are essential for antifungal defense in humans and mice, the mechanisms that couple CLR-proximal events to Card9 control are not well defined. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identified Vav proteins as key activators of the Card9 pathway. Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3 cooperate downstream of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle to selectively engage Card9 for NF-κB control and proinflammatory gene transcription but are not involved in MAPK activation. Although Vav family members show functional redundancy, Vav1/2/3 triple-deficient cells are severely impaired for NF-κB and cytokine responses upon stimulation with CLR agonists or hyphae, and Vav1/2/3-/- mice phenocopy Card9-/- animals with extreme susceptibility to fungi and rapid mortality upon Candida albicans infection. In this context, Vav3 is the single most important Vav in mice, and a polymorphism in human VAV3 is associated with susceptibility to candidemia in patients. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism for CLR-mediated Card9 regulation that controls innate immunity to fungal infections.

Project description:ERBB4 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ERBB subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that regulates cellular processes including proliferation, migration and survival. ERBB4 signaling is involved in embryogenesis and homeostasis of adult tissues, but also in human pathologies such as cancer, neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. A mass spectrometry screen revealed guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) VAV3, an activator of Rho family GTPases, as a novel ERBB4-interacting protein in breast cancer cells. The ERBB4-VAV3-interaction was confirmed by targeted mass-spectrometry, coimmunoprecipitation experiments, and further defined by demonstrating that kinase activity and tyrosine residues 1022 and 1162 of ERBB4, as well as the intact phosphotyrosine-interacting SH2 domain of VAV3 were necessary for the interaction. ERBB4 was also shown to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of the VAV3 activation domain, which is required for GEF activity of VAV proteins. In addition to VAV3, also the other members of the VAV family, VAV1 and VAV2 were shown to coprecipitate with ERBB4. Analyses of the effects of overexpression of dominant-negative VAV3 constructs or downregulation of VAV3 expression by shRNAs in breast cancer cells demonstrated that active VAV3 was involved in ERBB4-stimulated migration. These findings define the VAV GTPases as novel effectors of ERBB4 activity in a signaling pathway relevant for cancer cell migration.
