Project description:Autophagy is a homeostatic cellular process involved in the degradation of long-lived/damaged cellular components. The role of autophagy in adipogenesis is well recognized, but its role in mature adipocyte function is largely unknown. We show that the autophagy proteins Atg3 and Atg16L1 are required for proper mitochondrial function in mature adipocytes. In contrast to previous studies, we found that post-developmental ablation of autophagy causes peripheral insulin resistance independently of diet or adiposity. Finally, lack of adipocyte autophagy reveals a - cross talk between fat and liver mediated by lipid peroxide-induced Nrf2 signaling. Our data reveal a - role for autophagy in preventing lipid peroxide formation and their transfer in insulin-sensitive peripheral tissues

Project description:Autophagy is an essential catabolic process responsible for recycling of intracellular material and preserving cellular fidelity. Key to the autophagy pathway is the ubiquitin-like conjugation system mediating lipidation of Atg8 proteins and their anchoring to autophagosomal membranes. While regulation of autophagy has been characterized at the level of transcription, protein interactions and post-translational modifications, its translational regulation remains elusive. Here we describe a novel regulatory axis of autophagy at the translational level, guided by the conserved eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A. Identified from a high-throughput screen, we find that eIF5A is required for lipidation of LC3B and its paralogs and promotes autophagosome formation. This feature is evolutionarily conserved and results from the translation of the E2-like ATG3 protein. Mechanistically, we identify an amino acid motif in ATG3 causing eIF5A-dependency for its efficient translation. Our study identifies a key regulatory mechanism of autophagosome formation and demonstrates the impact of translation in the regulation autophagy.

Project description:Autophagy is a mechanism that regulates cellular metabolism and clearance of damaged macromolecules and organelles. Impaired degradation of modified macromolecules contributes to cellular dysfunction and is observed in aged tissue and senescent cells. We have inactivated Atg7, an essential autophagy gene, in murine keratinocytes and have found in an earlier study that this resulted in increased baseline oxidative stress and reduced capacity to degrade crosslinked proteins after oxidative ultraviolet stress. To investigate whether autophagy deficiency would promote cellular aging, we studied, how Atg7 deficient (KO) and Atg7 bearing cells (WT) would respond to stress induced by Paraquat (PQ), an oxidant drug commonly used to induce cellular senescence.

Project description:Age-related cell loss underpins many senescence-associated diseases. Senile cataract is a primary blindness-causing age-related ocular disease. Apoptosis of lens epithelial cells (LECs) is the common cellular basis of senile cataract resulted from prolonged exposure to oxidative stress, the mechanism of which remains elusive. Here we reported the concomitance of increased autophagy and apoptosis in the same LEC from senile cataract patients. Oxidative stress triggered autophagy preceded apoptosis, while blocking autophagy by ablation of Atg7 or Atg3 gene remarkably suppressed apoptosis in HLE-B3 cell line. We identified autophagy adaptor SQSTM1/p62 as the critical scaffold protein to sustain a pro-survival signaling PKCι-NF-κB cascades, which antagonized the pro-apoptotic signaling in LECs. Importantly, prolonged autophagy in human senescent LECs responding to oxidative stress induced extensive degradation of p62 protein and therefore facilitated apoptosis. Moreover, pharmacological inhibitor of autophagy, 3-MA, significantly rescued apoptosis of human senescent LECs challenged by oxidative stress. Collectively, our data demonstrated that hyperactivation of autophagy aggravates age-related apoptotic cell death via inhibiting the p62-PKCι-NF-κB pro-survival axis in human senescent LECs. This work expands the understanding of the etiology of senile cataract and provides insight for mechanisms of age-related cell death in senescence-associated diseases.

Project description:Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an enteric bacterium capable of invading a wide range of host cell types and adopting different intracellular lifestyles for survival. Host endocytic trafficking and autophagy have been implied to regulate the S. Typhimurium subcellular localization and survival. To reveal alternative host regulators on S. Typhimurium lifestyle, we combined a novel fluorescent reporter, Salmonella Intracellular Analyzer (SINA) with haploid forward genetic screening. This identified transcription factor c-MYC as a negative regulator of S. Typhimurium cytosolic lifestyle via stabilizing the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). We further confirmed that c-MYC downstream regulated LC3 acts to maintain SCV stability and limits S. Typhimurium cytosolic lifestyle. We demonstrated that LC3 is recruited to the SCV prior to the endomembrane damage marker Galectin 3, and it regulates SCV stability independent of the autophagosome adaptor NDP52. The LC3 processing enzymes ATG3 and ATG4 reciprocally act on SCV stability, where the loss of LC3-PE conjugation in the absence of ATG3 limits SCV damages. We further identified the dosage-dependent function of the S. Typhimurium effector SopF in mediating SCV stability by actively avoiding LC3 recruitment to the proximity of the SCV to reduce its catastrophic rupture and host cell death. Altogether, we offer insights on the significance of cellular transcription profile in the determination of S. Typhimurium pathophysiology as well as the underlying host-evasion strategy of S. Typhimurium.

Project description:Claudin proteins are major constituents of epithelial and endothelial tight junctions (TJ), where they serve as regulators of paracellular permeability to ions and solutes. Claudin-18, a member of the large claudin family, is highly expressed in lung epithelium. To elucidate the role of claudin-18 in alveolar epithelial barrier function and fluid homeostasis, we generated claudin-18 knockout (C18 KO) mice. Increased alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) observed in C18 KO mice may have accounted for absence of lung edema despite increased alveolar solute permeability compared to wild type (WT) controls. Higher AFC in C18 KO mice was associated with higher Na-K-ATPase activity and increased expression of the Na-K-ATPase β1 subunit compared to WT controls. Consistent with in vivo findings, alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) monolayers derived from C18 KO mice exhibited lower transepithelial electrical resistance (RT) accompanied by increased solute and ion permeability without changes in ion selectivity. Expression of claudin-3 and claudin-4 was markedly increased in whole lung and in freshly isolated AEC from C18 KO mice, while claudin-5 was unchanged. In contrast, occludin, another major component of the TJ complex, was significantly decreased in C18 KO lung. Further analysis revealed rearrangements in the F-actin cytoskeleton in C18 KO MAECM. These findings demonstrate a crucial non-redundant role for claudin-18 in regulation of alveolar epithelial tight junction composition and permeability to ions and solutes. Importantly, increased AFC in C18 KO mice identifies additional roles for claudin-18 in alveolar fluid homeostasis beyond its direct contributions to barrier properties of the alveolar epithelium. Animals with a ubiquitous knockout (C18 KO) were obtained by crossing mice harboring a conditional (floxed) allele of claudin-18 (Cldn18F/F) with CMV-cre deleter mice to delete exons 2 and 3 by Cre/loxP recombination.

Project description:The epidermis, the most superficial layer of human skin, serves a critical barrier function, protecting the body from external pathogens and allergens. Dysregulation in the epidermal differentiation process contributes to barrier dysfunction and is implicated in the pathology of various dermatological diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS) is used as a moisturizing agent for xerosis in AD patients. However, its mechanism of action on keratinocytes, the main constituent of the epidermis, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the impact of MPS on keratinocytes by subjecting adult human epidermal keratinocyte (HEKa) cells and three-dimensional cultured keratinocytes to MPS treatment, followed by transcriptome analysis. The analysis revealed that MPS treatment enhances keratinocyte differentiation and suppresses proliferation. We focused on amphiregulin (AREG), a membrane protein that belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and possesses a heparin-binding domain, as a significant target of the MPS among the genes altered by MPS. It is revealed that MPS exerts an inhibitory effect directly on AREG, rather than on the EGF receptor or other members of the EGF family. Furthermore, it is suggested that AREG leads to a reduction in epidermal barrier function, whereas MPS contributes to barrier enhancement through AREG inhibition. Collectively, these findings suggest that MPS modulates barrier function through the inhibition of AREG, offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies for skin barrier restoration.

Project description:In epidermal differentiation basal keratinocytes detach from the basement membrane, stop proliferating, and express a new set of structural proteins and enzymes, which results in an impermeable protein/lipid barrier that protects us. To define the transcriptional changes essential for this process, we purified large quantities of basal and suprabasal cells from human epidermis, using the expression of b4 integrin as the discriminating factor. The expected expression differences in cytoskeletal, cell cycle and adhesion genes confirmed the effective separation of the cell populations. Using DNA microarray chips, we comprehensively identify the differences in genes expressed in basal and differentiating layers of the epidermis, including the ECM components produced by the basal cells, the proteases in both the basal and suprabasal cells, and the lipid and steroid metabolism enzymes in suprabasal cells responsible for the permeability barrier. We identified the signaling pathways specific for the two populations, and found two previously unknown paracrine and one juxtacrine signaling pathway operating between the basal and suprabasal cells. Furthermore, using specific expression signatures, we identified a new set of late differentiation markers and mapped their chromosomal loci, as well as a new set of melanocyte-specific markers. The data represent a quantum jump in understanding the mechanisms of epidermal differentiation. Basal keratinocytes are defined as integrin b4-positive. Suprabasal sample contains all melanocytes as well. Basal (integrin b4+), suprabasal (b4-) and total epidermal keratinocytes. In duplicate, from 2 independent donors, breast reduction surgery.
