Project description:NF-κB-mediated signaling is maintained silent by the action of IκB proteins, whose canonical role is to sequester NF-κB in the cytoplasm. An alternative chromatin role for IκB members have been shown to affect stemness and cell differentiation but the involvement of NF-κB in this function has not been excluded. NFKI-1 and IKB-1 are IκB homologs in Caenorhabditis elegans, which lacks NF-κB nuclear effectors. nfki-1 and ikb-1 mutants present developmental defects that phenocopy mutations in Polycomb genes and demethylases as utx-1. suggesting a role for C. elegans IKB proteins in chromatin regulation, which is supported by various lines of evidence:(i) we detected NFKI-1 in the nucleus; (ii) NFKI-1 and IKB-1 bind to histones and Polycomb proteins, (iii) NFKI-1 and IKB-1 bind to chromatin in vivo, and (iv) mutations in nfki-1 and ikb-1 alter chromatin marks . Thus, ancestral IκB inhibitors may exert nuclear functions regulating of gene expression and development.

Project description:Previous studies linked mac activation with the ubiquitination (ub) status of key proteins in inflammatory signal pathways. Lysine-48 ub (K48-ub) of the NF-κB inhibitor (IκB), the final checkpoint of the NFκB pathway, leads to IκB degradation and consequent NF-κB-associated inflammation. In contrast, TRAF6, an upstream positive regulator of the NF-κB pathway, is modulated by K63-ub, leading to its conformational change and activation. However, a comprehensive analysis of ub profiles of polarized macs has not been reported. If a unique ub signature is associated with individual mac subsets is not known.

Project description:Gastric mucosa responds to the pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) by producing and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that activate the innate immune system mainly through activation of the transcription factor NF-κB. Although NF-κB signaling is well studied for many possible inducers, induction by H. pylori remains poorly understood. Here, we performed a high-throughput genome-wide RNAi screen for genes influencing H. pylori-induced NF-κB activation. In comparison to TNFα or IL‐1β NF‐κB signaling, we identified 21 proteins unique necessary for H. pylori NF-κB pathway and 24 factors that inhibited the activation. Furthermore, we present here the R/Bioconductor package Nested Effect Model for systematic use in high-throughput screens to classify newly identified factors. We identified alpha kinase 1 (ALPK1) as particular important for the H. pylori NF‐κB pathway without affecting TNFα or IL‐1β signaling. ALPK1 silencing inhibits activity of TAK1 and the IκB kinases (IKKs), degradation of the NF‐κB inhibitor IκBα, nuclear translocation of the NF‐κB subunit p65, and transcription of the NF‐κB target genes, e.g. IL‐8. Thus, we identify ALPK1 as a novel inflammatory regulator functioning particularly in the NF‐κB signaling network activated by H. pylori.

Project description:The model was constructed to describe TLR4 induced NF-κB activation in native bone marrow-derived macrophages. It included processes of ligand (lipopolysaccharide) recognition, formation of dimer receptor complex and further signal transduction through TRAF6/TAK1 complex that leads to the activation of IKKα/β kinase, which in turn enables the NF-κB transcription factor phosphorylation and translocation in the cell nucleus, and induction of IkB and WIP1 (as an example of induced protein that promotes NF-κB dephosphorylation 2) gene transcription. Models were based on the current knowledge of TLR signaling framework, protein interactions within the TLR4 pathway, and up-to-date mathematical models describing Toll receptor activation.
The major important additions were made to TLR4 signaling description:
1) Receptor dimerization process
2) The existence of a basal nuclear NF-κB level (translocation)
3) NF-κB phosphorylation by IKK complex

Project description:Given the intimate link between inflammation and dysregulated cell proliferation in cancer we investigated cytokine-triggered gene expression in different cell cycle stages. High density microarray analysis revealed that G1 release primes and cooperates with the cytokine-driven gene response. This effect is transmitted through CDK6 which shares the ability to regulate expression of inflammatory genes with its functional homologue CDK4. CDK6 contributes to the regulation of inflammatory gene expression by physical and functional cooperation with the NF-κB subunit p65 in the nucleus. ChIPSeq experiments showed a tight co-recruitment of CDK6 and p65 to enhancers and promoters of many transcriptionally active NF-κB target genes. While CDK6 recruitment to distinct chromatin regions of inflammatory target genes had no effect on histone modifications, it was essential for proper loading of NF-κB p65 to its cognate binding sites and for the function of p65 coactivators such as TRIP6. Furthermore, cytokine-inducible nuclear translocation and chromatin association of CDK6 depends on the kinase activity of TAK1 and p38. These results have widespread biological implications, as aberrant CDK6 expression or activation that is frequently observed in human tumors cooperates with NF-κB to shape the cytokine- and chemokine-repertoire in chronic inflammation and cancer. Four sets of experiments were performed in total (Exp1-4). Within each of these sets biological duplicates (Rep1-2) were included and analyzed. HeLa control cells or cells with established shRNA-mediated knockdown of CDK4 or CDK6 were analyzed. Cells were subjected to cell cycle arrest or were released from the arrested state for 6h. Cells were treated for 30 minutes with Interleukin-1-alpha at the arrested state or after release or were left untreated.

Project description:The intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila causes an inflammatory pneumonia called Legionnaires’ Disease. For virulence, L. pneumophila requires a Dot/Icm type IV secretion system that translocates bacterial effectors to the host cytosol. L. pneumophila lacking the Dot/Icm system is recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs), leading to a canonical NF-κB-dependent transcriptional response. In addition, L. pneumophila expressing a functional Dot/Icm system potently induces unique transcriptional targets, including proinflammatory genes such as Il23a and Csf2. Here we demonstrate that this Dot/Icm-dependent response, which we term the effector-triggered response (ETR), requires five translocated bacterial effectors that inhibit host protein synthesis. Upon infection of macrophages with virulent L. pneumophila, these five effectors caused a global decrease in host translation, thereby preventing synthesis of IκB, an inhibitor of the NF-κB transcription factor. Thus, macrophages infected with wildtype L. pneumophila exhibited prolonged activation of NF-κB, which was associated with transcription of ETR target genes such as Il23a and Csf2. L. pneumophila mutants lacking the five effectors still activated TLRs and NF-κB, but because the mutants permitted normal IκB synthesis, NF-κB activation was more transient and was not sufficient to fully induce the ETR. L. pneumophila mutants expressing enzymatically inactive effectors were also unable to fully induce the ETR, whereas multiple compounds or bacterial toxins that inhibit host protein synthesis via distinct mechanisms recapitulated the ETR when administered with TLR ligands. Previous studies have demonstrated that the host response to bacterial infection is induced primarily by specific microbial molecules that activate TLRs or cytosolic pattern recognition receptors. Our results add to this model by providing a striking illustration of how the host immune response to a virulent pathogen can also be shaped by pathogen-encoded activities, such as inhibition of host protein synthesis. Three-condition experiment: macrophages left uninfected (negative control), or infected with wildtype Legionella pneumophila, or the mutant Δ5, which lacks five bacterial effectors involved in inhibition of host protein synthesis (lgt1, lgt2, lgt3, sidI, sidL) (two experimental conditions). Biological replicates: two, independently infected, harvested, and hybridized to arrays. One technical replicate per array.

Project description:Cordyceps participates in various pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, and is involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. However, the detailed role of cordycepin in suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway is less clear. In this study, we first analyzed the effect of cordyceps on NF-κB activity in TK-10 cells, and found that cordyceps resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Here, we show that cordyceps mediated NF-kB inhibition induces apoptosis in TK-10 cells involved the serial activation of caspases. Moreover, we demonstrate that in addition to activating caspases, the cordyceps negatively modulates TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling to promote JNK activation, which results in apoptosis, and that NF-kB regulates antiapoptotic factor GADD45b and the JNK kinase MKK7. When the TNFα cytokine binds to the TNF receptor, IκB dissociates from NF-κB. As a result, the active NF-κB translocates to the nucleus. Cordyceps clearly prevented NF-κB from mobilizing to the nucleus, resulting in downregulation of GADD45b, whereas upregulation of MKK7 and phosphorylation of JNK (p-JNK). This increased Bax activation, leading to marked cordyceps-induced apoptosis. Bax subfamily proteins induced apoptosis through caspase-3. Furthermore, siRNA mediated inhibition of MKK7 downregulated p-JNK and The JNK inhibitor SP600125 strongly inhibited Bax. Thus, these results indicate that cordyceps inhibits NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to upregulate MKK7-JNK signaling pathway to induce apoptosis in TK-10 cells and support the potential of cordyceps as a therapeutic agent for renal cancer.
