Cell-Type-Specific Transcriptome of CD4+, CD8+ T cells and CD14+ monocytes in multiple sclerosis

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in which both genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved. Genome-wide association studies revealed more than 200 risk loci, most of which harbor genes primarily expressed in immune cells. However, whether genetic differences are translated into cell-specific gene expression profiles and to what extent these are altered in MS are not well understood. To assess cell-type-specific gene expression in a large cohort of MS patients, we sequenced the whole transcriptome of sorted T cells (CD4+ and CD8+) and CD14+ monocytes from treatment-naive MS patients (n=122) and healthy subjects (n=22). Next, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the RNA sequencing dataset and identified 612 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CD14+ monocytes, 464 in CD4+ T cells, and 93 in CD8+ T cells. Notably, about one third (36.6%) of DEGs were non-coding RNAs, the majority of which (88.2%) were down-regulated in MS. We identified large co-expressed gene modules and cis-eQTLs with key MS genes in each cell subset. Importantly, we discovered dysregulation of NAE1, a subunit of NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE), in CD4+ T cells which activates the neddylation pathway. Finally, we demonstrated that NAE inhibition using Pevonedistat (MLN4924) dampened disease severity in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Our findings provide novel insights into MS-associated gene regulation unraveling neddylation as a crucial pathway in MS pathogenesis with implications for the development of tailored disease-modifying agents.

Expression profiling of CLL derived T Cells treated with pevonedistat

Project description:Novel targeted agents used in therapy of lymphoid malignancies, such as inhibitors of B-cell receptor-associated kinases, are recognized to have complex immune-mediated effects. NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) has been identified as a tractable target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We and others have shown that pevonedistat (TAK-924), a small molecule inhibitor of NAE, abrogates NF-κB signaling in malignant B cells. However, NF-κB pathway activity is indispensable in immune response, and T-cell function is altered in patients with CLL. Using T cells derived from patients with CLL, we demonstrate that while targeting NAE results in markedly differential expression of NF-κB-regulated genes and downregulation of IL-2 signaling during T-cell activation, T cells evade apoptosis. Meanwhile, NAE inhibition favorably modulates polarization of T cells in vitro, with decreased Treg differentiation and a shift towards TH1 phenotype, accompanied by increased interferon-γ production. These findings were recapitulated in vivo in immunocompetent mouse models. T cells exposed to pevonedistat in washout experiments, informed by its human pharmacokinetic profile, recover NAE activity and maintain their response to T-cell receptor stimulation and cytotoxic potential. Our data shed light on the potential immune implications of targeting neddylation in CLL and lymphoid malignancies.

Targeting neddylation and sumoylation in chemoresistant triple negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15-20% of breast cancer cases in the United States. Systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), with or without immunotherapy, is the current standard of care for patients with early-stage TNBC. However, up to 70% of TNBC patients have significant residual disease once NACT is completed, which is associated with a high risk of developing recurrence within two to three years of surgical resection. To identify targetable vulnerabilities in chemoresistant TNBC, we generated longitudinal patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from TNBC tumors before and after patients received NACT. We then compiled transcriptomes and drug response profiles for all models. Transcriptomic analysis identified the enrichment of aberrant protein homeostasis pathways in models from post-NACT tumors relative to pre-NACT tumors. This observation correlated with increased sensitivity in vitro to inhibitors targeting the proteasome, heat shock proteins, and neddylation pathways. Pevonedistat, a drug annotated as a NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor, was prioritized for validation in vivo and demonstrated efficacy as a single agent in multiple PDX models of TNBC. Pharmacotranscriptomic analysis identified a pathway-level correlation between pevonedistat activity and post-translational modification (PTM) machinery, particularly involving neddylation and sumoylation targets. Elevated levels of both NEDD8 and SUMO1 were observed in models exhibiting a favorable response to pevonedistat compared to those with a less favorable response in vivo. Moreover, a correlation emerged between the expression of neddylation-regulated pathways and tumor response to pevonedistat, indicating that targeting these PTM pathways may prove effective in combating chemoresistant TNBC.

Discovery of a small molecule inhibitor of the UBE2F-CRL5 axis that induces apoptosis and G2/M arrest and confers radiosensitization

Project description:Protein neddylation modification is catalyzed by a neddylation activating enzyme (NAE, E1), an E2 conjugating enzyme and an E3 ligase. In various types of human cancers, the neddylation pathway was abnormally activated. Our previous study validated that neddylation E2 UBE2F is a promising lung cancer target. However, although NAE inhibitor MLN4924/pevonedistat is currently in few clinical trials for anticancer application, no small molecule was reported that targets UBE2F. Here, we report, for the first time, the discovery, via structure-based virtual screen and chemical optimization, of such a small molecule, designated as HA-9104. HA-9104 binds to UBE2F, reduces its protein levels, and consequently inhibits cullin-5 neddylation to inactivate CRL5 (cullin-RING ligase-5) ligase, leading to accumulation of CRL5 substrate, NOXA, to induce apoptosis. Moreover, HA-9104 appears to form the DNA adduct via its 7-azaindole group to induce DNA damage and G2/M arrest. Biologically, HA-9104 effectively suppresses the growth and survival of lung cancer cells and confers radiosensitization in both in vitro cell culture and in vivo xenograft tumor models. Taken together, our study discovered a small molecule HA-9104 that targets the UBE2F-CRL5 axis with anticancer activity alone or in combination with radiation.

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of multiple sclerosis patients in relapse [CD4]

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune and degenerative disease of the central nervous system, which develops in genetically predisposed individuals upon exposure to environmental influences. Environmental triggers of MS, such as viral infections or smoking, were demonstrated to affect DNA methylation, and thus to involve this important epigenetic mechanism in the development of pathological processes. To identify DNA methylation hallmarks, associated with relapse of MS, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of two cell populations (CD4+ T-lymphocytes and CD14+ monocytes), collected from the same individuals, using Illumina 450K methylation arrays. We revealed changes in DNA methylation for both cell populations of MS patients in relapse when compared wih remission. In CD4+ cells the absolute majority of differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were hypermethylated. In CD4+, but not in CD14+ cells, we found a differentially methylated region within the GNAS complex locus and showed significant differences in the ammount of its transcripts between patients in relapse and remission.

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling identifies epigenetic changes in CD4+ and CD14+ cells of multiple sclerosis patients [CD14]

Environmental triggers of MS, such as viral infections or smoking, were demonstrated to affect DNA methylation, and thus to involve this important epigenetic mechanism in the development of pathological processes. To identify DNA methylation hallmarks, associated with MS, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of two cell populations (CD4+ T-lymphocytes and CD14+ monocytes), collected from the same individuals (relapsing-remitting MS patients and healthy subjects), using Illumina 450K methylation arrays. We revealed significant changes in DNA methylation for both cell populations of studied groups. In CD4+ cells the majority of differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were shown to be hypomethylated, while in CD14+ cells – hypermethylated in MS patients. Noteworthy, in CD4+, but not in CD14+ cells, we found differential methylation of HLA-DRB6 gene from HLA locus, which is known to have the strongest genetic association with MS. Besides, about 20% of DMPs identified in studied cells were identical; they all had the same direction of methylation changes in both cell populations and may be involved in basic epigenetic processes occuring in MS. These findings suggest that the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation in immune cells contributes to MS; further studies are now required to validate these results and understand their functional significance.

Pevonedistat inhibits aberrant protein NEDDylation in Polycystic Liver Diseases.

Project description:Background: Polycystic liver diseases (PLD) are genetic disorders characterized by progressive growth of numerous liver cysts, causing significant morbidity. Previous studies revealed genes affecting protein biogenesis and more recently, protein SUMOylation, a posttranslational modification (PTM), has been implicated in PLD pathobiology. On the other hand, protein NEDDylation is a newly-characterized PTM, modulating a plethora of biological processes and its dysregulation is associated with development and progression of several human diseases. In this regard, the role of NEDDylation in PLD remains elusive and unraveling its role in the pathogenesis of these genetic disorders could open new avenues for the development of novel treatments in the future. Objective: To explore the role of protein NEDDylation in PLD and its potential therapeutic regulatory value. Methods: Expression and function of NEDDylation, including response to Pevonedistat (first-in-class selective inhibitor of the NEDDylation E1 enzyme NAE1), were assessed in vitro. Proteomic analyses of immunoprecipitated NEDDylated proteins were performed by mass spectrometry.
