ABSTRACT: To investigate the role of SREBP signaling in B cell activation, we stimulated SCAP+/+CD19Cre/+ (WT) and SCAPfl/fl CD19Cre/+ (KO) B cells with LPS, anti-CD40 or anti-IgM for 24 hrs and performed RNA sequencing to identifiy the differences.
Project description:Splenic B cells isolated from SCAP+/+ CD19-Cre (WT) and SCAPfl/fl CD19-Cre (KO) mice were stimulated with LPS or anti-CD40 for 24 and 48 hours. Cells were then analyzed by metabolomics. Metabolomics reveals global metabolic changes in SCAP deficient B cells.
Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is characterized by hepatic steatosis and hepatocellular injury and progresses to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are master regulators of lipogenesis. Liver-specific PTEN knockout (KO) mice show constitutive upregulation of SREBP through PI3K-Akt pathway activation, leading to spontaneous fatty liver and subsequent HCC development. SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) plays a critical role in SREBP activation. We sought to determine the impact of SREBP inhibition on NASH and HCC development. To this end, we additionally inhibited SREBP pathway in liver-specific PTEN mice by ablating SCAP and generated liver-specific PTEN/SCAP double KO (DKO) mice. However unexpectedly, inhibition of SCAP/SREBP pathway markedly exacerbated liver injury (5weeks), fibrosis (5months), and carcinogenesis (7 months) in PTEN KO mice. To elucidate the mechanisms of liver injury in liver-specific PTEN/SCAP DKO mice, we conducted transcriptome analyses of the livers.
Project description:In this study, we studied the genomic responses of the Insig and Scap deletion from perinatal lung. Through comprehensive data analysis and integration, time dependent effects of epithelial SCAP/INSIG/SREBP deletion and defined SCAP/INSIG/SREBP-associated genes, bioprocesses and downstream pathways were identified. Total lung RNA was isolated from Scapdelata/delta, Insig1/2delta/delta, and respective control littermates at E17.5, E18.5 and PN1 were used for mRNA expression profiling analysis (n=3 for each condition)
Project description:Pulmonary function after birth is dependent upon surfactant lipids that reduce surface tension in the alveoli. The sterol-responsive element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors regulating expression of genes controlling lipid homeostasis in many tissues. To identify the role of SREBPs in the lung, we conditionally deleted the SREBP cleavage-activating protein gene, Scap, in respiratory epithelial cells (Scap∆/∆) in vivo. Prior to birth (E18.5), deletion of Scap decreased the expression of both SREBPs and a number of genes regulating fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism. Nevertheless, Scap∆/∆ mice survived postnatally, surfactant and lung tissue lipids being substantially normalized in adult Scap∆/∆ mice. Although phospholipid synthesis was decreased in type II cells from adult Scap∆/∆ mice, lipid storage, synthesis, and transfer by lung lipofibroblasts were increased. mRNA microarray data indicated that SCAP influenced two major gene networks, one regulating lipid metabolism and the other stress-related responses. Deletion of the SCAP/SREBP pathway in respiratory epithelial cells altered lung lipid homeostasis and induced compensatory lipid accumulation and synthesis in lung lipofibroblasts.

Project description:To investigate the function of SREBP signaling in established germinal center B cells, we generated SCAP fl/fl AID-Cre-YFP mice. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of sorted germinal center B cells from immunized control and SCAP fl/fl AID-Cre-YFP mice
