SUMOylation of Jra regulates the immune response in the gut of Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To understand how SUMOylation of Jra regulates the gut immune response in Drosophila in a Pseudomonas infection model. To answer this, we performed 2 RNA-seq experiments one with knockdown of Jra in the gut and the other with a SUMO-conjugation resistant mutant (SCR) line generated by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Methods: 50-60 midguts from adult female flies were dissected and total RNA was extracted in trizol. The total RNA was used to generate a cDNA library using Quantseq 3' mRNA kit Fwd. Expereiments done in triplicates Results: Phenotypically, JraRNAi is protective to the host and JraSCR is detrimental to the host during infection. Transcriptional profiling revealed that genes involved in immune response are differentially regulated in JraRNAi and JraSCR. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the first detailed analysis of gut transcriptomes with varied activity of Jra using an RNAi and an allele that is resistant to SUMO conjugation. Our results show that genes important for a robust immune response are elevated in JraRNAi where as the same genes are dampened in JraSCR. This suggests that SUMO conjugation of Jra is a crucial step for robust immune activation in the gut of Drosophila.

Mechanistic characterization of a Drosophila model of paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome

Project description:Purpose: Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in cancer patients and originate from dysfunction of organs at a distance from the tumor or its metastasis. In this study, using a Drosophila gut tumor model, we characterized a mechanism of tumor-induced kidney dysfunction. Methods: snRNA-seq analysis of MT samples with and without Yki gut tumors and snRNA-seq analysis of MT samples with kidney principal cell-specific disregulation of PDGF/VEGF signaling Results: we found that Pvf1, a PDGF/VEGF signaling ligand, secreted by gut tumors activates the PvR/JNK/Jra signaling pathway in the principal cells of the kidney, leading to mis-expression of renal genes and paraneoplastic renal syndrome-like phenotypes Conclusions: Our study describes a novel mechanism by which gut tumors perturb the function of the kidney, which might be of clinical relevance for the treatment of paraneoplastic syndromes.

C. elegans mixed stage embryo total RNA levels by microarray: L4440 RNAi, smo-1 RNAi and sdc-2 (y93)+RNAi

Project description:The essential process of dosage compensation equalizes X-chromosome gene expression between C. elegans XO males and XX hermaphrodites through a dosage compensation complex (DCC) that resembles condensin. The DCC binds to both X chromosomes of hermaphrodites to repress transcription by half. Here we show that post-translational modification by the SUMO conjugation pathway is essential for sex-specific assembly of the DCC onto X. Depletion of the SUMO peptide in vivo severely disrupts binding of particular DCC subunits and causes changes in X-linked gene expression similar to those caused by disrupting genes encoding DCC subunits. Three DCC subunits are themselves SUMOylated, and depletion of SUMO preferentially reduces their binding to X, suggesting that SUMOylation of DCC subunits is essential for robust association with X. DCC SUMOylation is triggered by the signal that initiates DCC assembly onto X. The initial step of assembly--binding of X-targeting factors to recruitment sites on X (rex sites)--is independent of SUMOylation, but robust binding of the complete complex requires SUMOylation. SUMOylated DCC subunits are enriched at rex sites, and SUMOylation enhances interactions between X-targeting factors and condensin subunits that facilitate DCC binding beyond the low level achieved without SUMOylation. DCC subunits also participate in condensin complexes essential for chromosome segregation, but their SUMOylation occurs only in the context of the DCC. Our results reinforce a newly emerging theme in which multiple proteins of a complex are SUMOylated in response to a specific stimulus, leading to accelerated complex formation and enhanced function. Total RNA was extracted from mixed stage embryos.

Effect of Sumo2 deletion on gene expression in the mouse brain

Project description:Mounting evidence indicates that small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation regulates a wide range of neuronal functions and participates in learning and memory processes. Since many SUMO targets are transcription factors as well as other nuclear proteins modulating gene expression and SUMO2 is the predominant SUMO isoform, we aimed to identify how SUMO2 regualtes gene expression in the brain in order to better understand the role of SUMOylation in the brain fucntcion. In this study, we peformed RNA-Seq anaysis on hippocampus from SUMO2 conditional knockout mice.

Ubc9 overexpression and SUMO1 deficiency blunt inflammation after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion.

Project description:The intestinal epithelium constitutes a crucial defense to the potentially life-threatening effects of gut microbiota. However, due to a complex underlying vasculature, hypoperfusion and resultant tissue ischemia pose a particular risk to function and integrity of the epithelium. The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) conjugation pathway critically regulates adaptive responses to metabolic stress and is of particular significance in the gut, as inducible knockout of the SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ubc9 results in rapid intestinal epithelial disintegration. Here we analyzed the pattern of individual SUMO isoforms in intestinal epithelium and investigated their roles in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage. Immunostaining revealed that epithelial SUMO2/3 expression was almost exclusively limited to crypt epithelial nuclei in unchallenged mice. However, intestinal I/R or overexpression of Ubc9 caused a remarkable enhancement of epithelial SUMO2/3 staining along the crypt-villus axis. Unexpectedly, a similar pattern was found in SUMO1 knockout mice. Ubc9 transgenic mice, but also SUMO1 knockout mice were protected from I/R injury as evidenced by better preserved barrier function and blunted inflammatory responses. PCR array analysis of microdissected villus-tip epithelia revealed a specific epithelial contribution to reduced inflammatory responses in Ubc9 transgenic mice, as key chemotactic signaling molecules such as IL17A were significantly downregulated. Together, our data indicate a critical role particularly of the SUMO2/3 isoforms in modulating responses to I/R and provide the first evidence that SUMO1 deletion activates a compensatory process that protects from ischemic damage.

Genetic, Molecular and Physiological Basis of Variation in Gut Immunocompetence

Project description:Gut immunocompetence involves immune, stress, and regenerative processes. To investigate the determinants underlying inter-individual variation in gut immunocompetence, we perform enteric infection of 140 Drosophila lines with the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila and observe extensive variation in survival. Using genome-wide association analysis, we identify several novel immune modulators. Transcriptional profiling further shows that the intestinal molecular states of resistant and susceptible lines differ, already before infection, with one transcriptional module involving genes linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism contributing to this difference. This genetic and molecular variation is physiologically manifested in lower ROS activity, lower susceptibility to ROS-inducing agent, faster pathogen clearance and higher stem cell activity in resistant versus susceptible lines. This study provides novel insights into the determinants underlying population-level variability in gut immunocompetence, revealing how relatively minor, but systematic genetic and transcriptional variation can mediate overt physiological differences that determine enteric infection susceptibility.
