Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infections are a worldwide health concern, and new treatment strategies are needed for decreasing virus-induced inflammatory tissue damage. Targeting inflammatory innate immunity pathways holds therapeutic promise, but effective molecular targets remain elusive. Here, we show that the innate immunity proteins, human caspase-4 (CASP4), and its mouse homologue, caspase-11 (CASP11), are upregulated in SARS-CoV-2 infections, and that CASP4 expression correlates with severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans. SARS-CoV-2-infected Casp11-/- mice experienced less severe infections in terms of weight loss and lung damage than WT mice. Notably, these phenotypes were not recapitulated in mice lacking the CASP11 downstream effector gasdermin D (Gsdmd-/-), though viral titers were similar in all groups. Global transcriptomics of infected WT and Casp11-/- lungs identified decreased inflammation and neutrophil gene signatures. We confirmed that protein levels of inflammatory mediators IL-1β and CXCL1, and neutrophil infiltration, were decreased in Casp11-/- lungs. Additionally, Casp11-/- lungs expressed less von Willebrand factor, a marker for endothelial dysfunction and more Kruppel-Like Factor 2 (KLF2), a transcription factor with anti-thrombotic functions. Thus, CASP11 is established as an upstream regulator of blood coagulopathy in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overall, our results demonstrate that CASP11, promotes detrimental SARS-CoV-2-associated inflammation and coagulopathy, identifying CASP11 as a promising drug target for treatment and prevention of tissue damage in COVID-19.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are using RNA sequencing analysis to test the effects of overexpressing caspase-8 mutants or wild-type caspase-8 on the mRNA of KYSE150 cells. Methods: KYSE150 cells were transfected with caspase-8 mutants or wild-type caspase-8 for 48 hours in 1640 medium plus 10% serum. Two independent replicates were plated, transfected in parallel for each caspase-8 mutants or wild-type caspase-8. Results: Log-fold changes of mRNAs between caspase-8 mutants and wild-type caspase-8 group were selected with a significance threshod of p<0.05. There are 3974 overlapping differentially expressed genes in the caspase-8 mutant cells compared to the wild-type caspase-8 cells. Conclusions: Our study determined the mRNA changes of caspase-8 mutant KYSE150 cells compared to the wild-type caspase-8 cells.

Project description:Background and Aims: Inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activity regulates the maturation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1M-CM-^_ and IL-18. Recently, we showed that caspase-1 deficiency strongly reduces high fat diet-induced adiposity although the mechanism is still unclear. We now aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which caspase-1 deficiency reduces modulates resistance to high fat diet-feeding fat accumulation in adipose tissue by focusing on the role of caspase-1 in the regulation of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein metabolism. Methods: Caspase-1 deficient and wild-type mice (both C57Bl/6 background) were used to determine postprandial TG kinetics, intestinal TG absorption, VLDL-TG production as well as TG clearance, all of which strongly contribute to the supply of TG for storage in adipose tissue. Micro-array and qPCR analysis were used to unravel intestinal and hepatic metabolic pathways involved. Results: Caspase-1 deficiency reduced the postprandial response to an oral lipid load, while tissue specific clearance of TG-rich lipoproteins was not changed. Indeed, an oral olive oil gavage containing [3H]TG revealed that caspase-1 deficiency significantly decreased intestinal chylomicron-TG production and reduced the uptake of [3H]TG-derived FA by liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Similarly, caspase-1 deficiency reduced the hepatic VLDL-TG production without reducing VLDL-apoB production, despite an elevated hepatic TG content. Pathway analysis revealed that caspase-1 deficiency reduces intestinal and hepatic expression of genes involved in lipogenesis. Conclusions: Absence of caspase-1 reduces assembly and secretion of TG-rich lipoproteins, thereby reducing the availability of TG-derived FA for uptake by peripheral organs including adipose tissue. We anticipate that caspase-1 represents a novel link between innate immunity and lipid metabolism. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Wild-type (WT) and Casp1-null mice were maintained at lab chow. Animals, aged between 14 and 16 weeks (n=3 per genotype), were killed and liver and intestinal segments were removed. Livers were isolated from mice that were fasted over night, whereas intesines were removed from mice 2 hrs after they received an oral lipid load.Total RNA was isolated and subjected to gene expression profiling.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia, is more prevalent in patients with elevated interleukin (IL)-1β levels. Our study shows that 15-day IL-1β injections sensitize mice to AF, inducing fibrosis, β-pleated protein accumulation in the atria, and systemic inflammation resembling AF patients. Increased caspase-1 and IL-1β maturation in the left atrium and elevated Il1b and Casp1 transcription in resident macrophages—dependent on IL-1 receptor (IL-1R)—indicate a positive feedback loop. IL-1β shortened action potentials (APs), accelerating AP and Ca2+ transient restitution, and AF sensitivity required shortened APs, caspase-1, and IL-1R. Cre-Lox knockout models revealed IL-1β signaling relies on IL-1R in macrophages, not cardiomyocytes. While Ccr2-/- mice, lacking recruited macrophages, remained AF-susceptible, mice with IL-1R deletion in cardiac resident macrophages were protected. We present a novel IL-1β-driven AF etiology mediated by IL-1R in cardiac resident macrophages and caspase-1, offering insights into therapeutic targets and distinct AF etiologies.

Project description:The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a life-threatening medical condition characterized by a severe and generalized inflammatory state that can lead to multiple organ failure and shock. The central nervous system (CNS) regulates many features of SIRS, such as fever, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine responses. <br> <br> Central and systemic manifestations of SIRS can be induced by LPS or interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) administration. The crucial role of IL-1ß in inflammation has been further highlighted by studies of mice lacking caspase 1 (casp1, also known as IL-1ß convertase), a protease that cleaves pro-IL-1ß into mature IL-1ß. Indeed, casp1 knockout (casp1-/-) mice survive lethal doses of LPS. The key role of IL-1ß in sickness behavior and its de-novo expression in the CNS during inflammation led us to test the hypothesis that IL-1ß plays a major role modulating the brain transcriptome during SIRS. <br> <br> We show here a genetic background environment effect caused by LPS administration in casp1-/- when compared to wild-type mice affecting the expression several genes, such as chemokines, GTPases, the metalloprotease ADAMTS1, IL-1RA, the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were differentially increased by. Our findings may contribute to the understanding of the molecular changes that take place within the CNS during sepsis and SIRS and the development of new therapies for these serious conditions. Our results indicate that those genes may also play a role in several neuropsychiatric conditions in which inflammation has been implicated, and indicate that casp1 might be a potential therapeutic target for such disorders.

Project description:Caspase-1 activation senses metabolic danger-associated molecular patterns and mediates the initiation of inflammation. Here, we reported that caspase-1 contributes to hyperlipidemia-induced modulation of vascular cell gene expression during early atherosclerosis in vivo. Our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of caspase-1 inhibition in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. All mice were in a C57B/L6 strain background. Male wild-type mice, Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene knockout mice, and ApoE/Caspase-1 double gene deficient mice were fed with high fat diet for 3 weeks starting from 8 weeks to induce early dyslipidemia. At 11-week of age, aortas from these mice were used for microarray analysis. 5 biological replicates in each group.

Project description:The receptor-interacting protein-associated ICH-1/CED-3 homologous protein with a death domain (Raidd) functions as a dual adaptor protein due to its bipartite nature, and is therefore thought to be a constituent of different multiprotein complexes including the PIDDosome, where it connects the cell death-related protease, Caspase-2, with the p53-induced protein with a death domain 1 (Pidd1). As such, Raidd has been implicated in DNA-damage-induced apoptosis as well as in tumor suppression, the latter based on its role as a direct activator of Caspase-2, known to delay lymphomagenesis caused by overexpression of c-Myc or loss of ATM kinase. As loss of Caspase-2 leads to an acceleration of tumor onset in the Eµ-Myc mouse model we set out to interrogate the role of Raidd in this process in more detail. Our data obtained analyzing Eµ-Myc/Raidd-/- mice indicate that Raidd is unable to protect from c-MYC-driven lymphomagenesis. Similarly, we failed to observe an effect of Raidd-deficiency on thymic lymphomagenesis induced by y-irradiation or fibrosarcoma development driven by 3-methylcholanthrene. The role of Caspase-2 as a tumor suppressor can therefore be uncoupled from its ability to interact and auto-activate upon binding to Raidd. Further, we provide supportive evidence that the tumor suppressive role of Caspase-2 is related to maintaining genomic integrity and allowing efficient p53-mediated signaling. Overall, our findings suggest that Raidd, although described to be the key-adapter allowing activation of the tumor suppressor Caspase-2, fails to suppress tumorigenesis in vivo.
