Transcriptome sequencing of human neutrophil

ABSTRACT: TcpC is a multifunctional virulence factor of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). Neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis) is a crucial anti-infection mechanism of neutrophils. Here we show the influence of TcpC on NETosis and related mechanisms. In situ NETosis of kidneys from pyelonephritis mouse model induced by TcpC-secreting wild-type CFT073 (CFT073wt) and LPS-induced in vitro NETosis in CFT073wt- or recombinant TcpC (rTcpC)-treated neutrophils are inhibited. rTcpC enters neutrophils through caveolin-mediated endocytosis and inhibits LPS-induced production of ROS, proinflammatory cytokines and protein but not mRNA levels of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4). rTcpC treatment enhances PAD4 ubiquitination and accumulation in proteasomes. Moreover, in vitro ubiquitination kit analyses suggest that TcpC is a PAD4-targetd E3 ubiquitin-ligase. These data suggest that TcpC inhibits NETosis primarily by serving as an E3 ligase that promotes degradation of PAD4. Our findings provide a novel mechanism underlying TcpC-mediated innate immune evasion.

NET formation is a default epigenetic program controlled by PAD4 in apoptotic neutrophils

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) counteract bacterial and fungal pathogens but can also promote thrombosis, autoimmunity, and sterile inflammation. The presence of citrullinated histones, generated by the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), is synonymous with NETosis and is considered independent of apoptosis. Mitochondrial- and death receptormediated apoptosis promote GSDME-dependent calcium mobilization and membrane permeabilization leading to histone H3 citrullination (H3Cit), nuclear DNA extrusion, and cytoplast formation. H3Cit is concentrated at the promoter in bone marrow neutrophils, and redistributes in a coordinated process from promoter to intergenic and intronic regions during apoptosis. Loss of GSDME prevents nuclear and plasma membrane disruption of apoptotic neutrophils, but prolongs early apoptosis-induced cellular changes to the chromatin and cytoplasmic granules. Apoptotic signaling engages PAD4 in neutrophils, establishing a cellular state that is primed for NETosis, but that occurs only upon membrane disruption by GSDME, thereby redefining the end-of-life for neutrophils.

Inhibition of netosis with PAD inhibitor attenuates endotoxin shock induced systemic inflammation

Project description:Neutrophils play a pivotal role in innate immunity and participate in a range of immunological disorders. Excessive neutrophil extracellular traps formed at infection and tissue damage sites are detrimental to the local tissue and further exacerbate inflammation. Protein arginine deiminases mediate histone citrullination and NET formation thereby regulating endotoxin shock response. However, the molecular mechanisms are less known. Here we report that inhibition of netosis attenuates inflammation in a LPS induced lethal endotoxic shock model in mice. Albeit a higher number of neutrophils are accumulated in peritoneal cavity the primary inflammatory site, the level of inflammatory signals is greatly reduced after netosis inhibition with a PAD inhibitor. In lungs under endotoxic stress, gene expression analyses indicate that LPS induced a drastic increase in inflammatory gene expression. In contrast, lung tissue damage and inflammation were much reduced after PAD inhibition to reduce netosis. In summary, we found NET formation inhibition as a new avenue to manage inflammatory damages under endotoxic stress.

Transcript expression analysis of the NETotic neutrphils

Project description:Neutrophils are short-lived innate immune cells. Upon encountering appropriate stimuli, neutrophils generate and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), primarily via NADPH oxidase (Nox)-dependent (~2 hours) or Nox-independent NETosis (~15-60 minutes). Ironically, DNA transcription in dying neutrophils remains an enigma. We hypothesized that transcriptional activation, regulated by NETosis-specific kinases, is important to drive the chromatin decondensation necessary for NETosis. For the first time, we show here that (i) the degree of NETosis corresponds to the degree of genome-wide transcription; (ii) kinase-specific transcriptional activation reflects transcriptional firing during different types of NETosis; and (iii) Transcriptomics suggests that NETosis could differentially regulate inflammation. Therefore, we propose that the initial steps of transcriptional firing, but neither transcription per se help to drive NETosis.

BRCT phosphoprotein recognition, but not E3 ligase activity, is essential for BRCA1 tumor suppression

Project description:It has been recognized that BRCA1, in the form of the BRCA1/BARD1 heterodimer, acting as an ubiquitin E3 ligase offered a possible mechanism to explain its pleiotrophic nature of BRCA1 activity. Our observation that mice lacking BRCA1 enzymatic activity are viable apart from male sterility was unexpected. Our results suggest that the E3 ligase activity of BRCA1 is largely dispensable for normal development and is not essential for all BRCA1 functions. Thus, many of the known and unknown functions of BRCA1 are likely to be mediated independent of its ability to catalyze ubiquitination. The genome copy number patterns were studied on the mice tumors that lacks E3 ubiqitin ligase activity of BRCA1 and were compared to copy number profile of mice lacking p53 and both brca1 and p53. Array CGH was performed using Agilent mouse CGH microarray 244K kit. Genomic DNA isolated from tumor tissue and its corresponding mouse tail were labelled with two different dyes and hybridized simultaneously on to microarray slides to perform comparitive genomic hybridization.

Peptidylarginine deiminases 2 and 4 modulate innate and adaptive immune responses in TLR-7 dependent lupus

Project description:Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) play critical roles in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. PAD4 is involved in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis while the role of PAD2 in immune dysregulation in SLE is not clear. The differential roles of PAD2 and PAD4 in the progression of murine SLE and in modulation of innate and adaptive immunity were examined. The transcriptome of lymphoid organs from imiquimod-treated PAD2/4 and control mice was characterized and elucidated using RNASeq technology.

PHF7 Modulates BRDT Stability and Histone-to-Protamine Exchange during Spermiogenesis

Project description:Spermatogenesis is a complex process of sperm generation, including mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During spermiogenesis, histones in post-meiotic spermatids are removed from chromatin and replaced by protamines. Although histone-to-protamine exchange is important for sperm nuclear condensation, the underlying regulatory mechanism is still poorly understood. Here, we identify PHD finger protein 7 (PHF7) as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for histone H3K14 in post-meiotic spermatids. Generation of Phf7-deficient mice and Phf7 C160A knockin mice with impaired E3 ubiquitin ligase activity reveals defects in histone-to-protamine exchange caused by dysregulation of histone removal factor Bromodomain, testis-specific (BRDT) in early condensing spermatids. Surprisingly, E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of PHF7 on histone ubiquitination leads to stabilization of BRDT by attenuating ubiquitination of BRDT. Collectively, our findings identify PHF7 as a critical factor for sperm chromatin condensation and contribute to mechanistic understanding of fundamental phenomenon of histone-to-protamine exchange and potential for drug development for the male reproduction system.

MDM2 induces pro-inflammatory and glycolytic responses in M1 macrophages by integrating iNOS-nitric oxide and HIF-1α pathways in mice

Project description:M1 macrophages induce protective immunity against infection, but also contribute to metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Here we show that he E3 ubiquitin ligase, MDM2, promotes the glycolytic and inflammatory activities of M1 macrophage by increasing the production of IL-1β, MCP-1 and nitric oxide (NO). Mechanistically, MDM2 triggers the ubiquitination and degradation of E3 ligase, SPSB2, to stabilize iNOS and increases production of NO, which s-nitrosylates and activates HIF-1α for triggering the glycolytic and pro-inflammatory programs in M1 macrophages. Myeloid-specific haplo-deletion of MDM2 in mice not only blunts LPS-induced endotoxemia and NO production, but also alleviates obesity-induced adipose tissue-resident macrophage inflammation. By contrast, MDM2 haplodeletion induces higher mortality, tissue damage and bacterial burden, and also suppresses M1 macrophage response, in the cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis mouse model. Our findings thus identify MDM2 as an activator of glycolytic and inflammatory responses in M1 macrophages by connecting the iNOS-NO and HIF-1α pathways.

Reduction of Neutrophil Activation by Phosphodiesterase 4 Blockade in Behçet's Disease

Project description:Objective: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis with inflammatory lesions mediated by cytotoxic T cells and neutrophils. Apremilast, an orally available small-molecule that selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), has been recently approved for the treatment of BD. We aimed to investigate the effect of PDE4 inhibition on neutrophil activation in BD. Methods: We studied surface markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) by flow cytometry, neutrophils extra cellular traps (NETs) and molecular signature of neutrophils by transcriptomic before and after PDE4 inhibition. Results: Activation surface markers (CD64, CD66b, CD11b and CD11c), ROS production and NETosis were up-regulated in BD as compared to Healthy Donors (HD) neutrophils. Transcriptome analysis showed 1021 significantly dysregulated neutrophils genes between BD and HD. Among dysregulated genes, we highlighted a great enrichment for pathways linked to innate immunity, intracellular signaling and chemotaxis in BD. Skin lesions of BD showed increased infiltration of neutrophils that co-localized with PDE4. Inhibition of PDE4 by apremilast strongly inhibited neutrophil surface activation markers as well as ROS production, NETosis, and genes and pathways related to innate immunity, intracellular signaling and chemotaxis. Conclusion: We pointed out key biological effects of apremilast on neutrophils in BD.
