Project description:Lamins, the major structural proteins within the nuclear lamina, are crucial for the functionality of cellular nucleus and their alterations are involved in the so-called laminopathies. We previously found that Huntington’s disease (HD), a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of a CAG repeat in the huntingtin (htt) gene, courses with increased lamin B protein levels in specific brain regions in both mouse models and patients. We now show that these changes are mostly restricted to lamin B1, occur in striatal medium-sized spiny neurons and CA1 hippocampal neurons, and are accompanied by altered nuclear morphology, nucleocytoplasmic transport disruption and un-structuring of lamin-associated chromatin domains. Normalization of lamin B1 levels by betulinic acid administration in the R6/1 mouse model of HD results in beneficial restoring of nuclear lamina homeostasis and prevention of motor and cognitive dysfunction, opening a window for a new therapeutic approach for HD and other B1-type laminophaties.

Project description:Integrins are extracellular matrix receptors comprised of an a and b subunit that connect and mediate signaling between cells and the surrounding matrix. In organogenesis of epithelial tissues, the b1 integrin subunit regulates essential epithelial cell functions, but the role of b1 integrin in epithelial repair is poorly understood. To define the role of b1 integrin during alveolar repair, we challenged b1 integrin deficient mice with intratracheal lipopolysaccharide, resulting in increased mortality with emphysematous lungs 21 days following injury. The alveolar barrier was repopulated with an overabundance of type 2 alveolar epithelial cells, with reduced numbers of elongated alveolar type 1 cells, suggesting b1 integrin is required for type 2 to type 1 epithelial transition. Consistent with this finding, b1 deficient type 2 epithelial cells proliferated at increased rates throughout repair, lacked actin-rich cellular protrusions necessary for lateral cellular extension, and exhibited transcriptomic dysregulation of adherens junction and actin polymerization pathways. Finally, we show that b1 integrin balances actin polymerization versus stabilization through GTPase activation. Taken together, these data support a novel role for b1 integrin in re-establishing the alveolar niche after injury through modulation of type 2 epithelial cell proliferation and cytoskeletal-dependent cell shape change.

Project description:In this study, an α2(VI) deficient mouse (Col6α2-KO) model was used to examine the role of Type VI collagen in oral tissues. To examine bone properties, µCT was employed, and bone volume and bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in oral tissues. To further investigate its molecular basis, proteome analysis was performed using protein extracted from alveolar bone. In addition, alveolar bone loss progression was evaluated with a periodontitis induced model. µCT analysis showed the Col6α2- KO mice had less volume of alveolar bone, dentin and dental pulp, while the width of periodontal ligament (PDL) was greater than WT. The BMD in alveolar bone and dentin were elevated in Col6α2-KO mice compared with WT. Our proteome analysis showed significant changes in proteins related to ECM organization and elevation of proteins associated with biomineralization in the Col6α2-KO mice. In induced periodontitis, Col6α2-KO mice had greater alveolar bone loss compared to WT. In conclusion, Type VI collagen has role in controlling biomineralization in alveolar bone and that changes in the ECM of alveolar bone could be associated with greater bone loss from periodontitis.

Project description:Pandemic influenza H1N1 (pdmH1N1) virus causes mild disease in humans but occasionally leads to severe complications and even death, especially in those who are pregnant or have underlying disease. Cytokine responses induced by pdmH1N1 viruses in vitro are comparable to other seasonal influenza viruses, suggesting the cytokine dysregulation as seen in H5N1 infection is not a feature of the pdmH1N1 virus. However, a comprehensive gene expression profile of pdmH1N1 in relevant primary human cells in vitro has not been reported. Type I alveolar epithelial cells are a key target cell in pdmH1N1 pneumonia. We carried out a comprehensive gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix microarray platform to compare the transcriptomes of primary human alveolar type I-like alveolar epithelial cells infected with pdmH1N1 or seasonal H1N1 virus. Primary type II alveolar epithelial cells were isolated from human non-malignant lung tissue of three patients who underwent lung resection, and cells were differentiated to type I-like before use. Type I-like alveolar epithelial cells were mock infected, or infected with pdmH1N1 or seasonal H1N1 viruses at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of two. Total RNA was extracted from cells after 8h post-infection, and gene expression profiling was performed using an Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarray platform.

Project description:We investigated whether in vitro expansion of human alveolar epithelial type II cells is possible. We found that human endogenous human alveolar epithelial type II cells can be cultured and passaged. The culture system enabled retroviral gene transduction into human alveolar epithelial type II cells. We performed RNA sequencing of human alveolar epithelial type II cells transduced with mutant surfactant protein C or control vector.
