TRAF7 is an essential regulator of vascular integrity

ABSTRACT: Targeted deletion of TRAF7 revealed that it is a crucial part of shear stress-responsive MEKK3-MEK5-ERK5 signaling pathway induced in endothelial cells by blood flow. Similarly, to Mekk3-, Mek5- or Erk5-deficient mice, Traf7-deficient embryos died in utero around midgestation due to impaired endothelial cell integrity. They displayed significantly lower expression of transcription factor Klf2, an essential regulator of vascular hemodynamic forces downstream of the MEKK3-MEK-ERK5 signaling pathway. Deletion of Traf7 in endothelial cells of postnatal mice was also associated with severe cerebral hemorrhage. Here, we show that besides MEKK3 and MEK5, TRAF7 associates with a planar cell polarity protein SCRIB. SCRIB binds with an N-terminal region of TRAF7, while MEKK3 associates with the C-terminal WD40 domain. Downregulation of TRAF7 as well as SCRIB inhibited fluid shear stress-induced phosphorylation of ERK5 in cultured endothelial cells. These findings suggest that TRAF7 and SCRIB may comprise an upstream part of the MEKK3-MEK5-ERK5 signaling pathway. Objective: to present first in vivo experimental evidence of TRAF7 function by using global and endothelium-specific TRAF7 knockout mice and comparing transcriptomes of developing embryos.

MEK5-mediated gene expression changes in DU145 human prostate cancer cells

Project description:Mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase-5 (MEK5) belongs to the family of MAP kinases. It is activated by the upstream kinases MEKK2 and MEKK3. MEK5, in turn, phosphorylates and activates extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) at Thr218/Tyr220. MEK5/ERK5 pathway plays a pivotal role in tumor initiation and progression, including prostate cancer. MEK5 protein is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells compared with normal cells and MEK5 levels are correlated with prostate cancer metastasis. Global gene expression was determined in DU145 cells stably expressing a scrambled (control) shRNA or MEK5 shRNA using the Agilent Mouse Whole Genome microarrays. Gene ontology and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed MEK5 knockdown attenuates a number or critical signaling pathways required for prostate tumor growth and progression.

MEK5 is Activated by Shear Stress, Activates ERK5 And Induces KLF4 To Modulate TNF Responses in Human Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells

Project description:MEK5 is activated by shear stress in large vessel endothelial cells (ECs) and contributes to the suppression of pro-inflammatory changes in the arterial wall. We used microarray analyses of total RNA from MEK5/CA-transduced HDMECs compared to LacZ control-transduced HDMECs to identify distinct classes of several regulated genes, including KLF4, eNOS, and ICAM. We conclude that MEK5 activation by shear stress may modulate inflammatory responses in the microvasculature, and these actions are partly mediated by KLF4. Total RNA was isolated from 8 separate paired (derived from same primary isolate) MEK5/CA and LacZ transduced HDMEC lines

MEK5D-transfected HUVEC

Project description:We expressed a constitutively active mutant of MEK5 (MEK5D) in human primary endothelial cells (EC) to study the transcriptional and functional responses to Erk5 activation under static conditions. HUVEC were infected with either empty vector or constitutively active MEK5D and RNA was processed for microarray analysis 40 h post infection.

Chlamydia trachomatis effector Tri1 interacts with TRAF7 to displace native TRAF7 interactors

Project description:Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections in the US and preventable blindness worldwide. This obligate intracellular pathogen replicates within a membrane-bound inclusion, but how it acquires nutrients from the host while avoiding detection by the innate immune system is incompletely understood. Chlamydia accomplishes this in part through the translocation of a unique set of effectors into the inclusion membrane, the inclusion membrane proteins (Incs). Incs are ideally poised at the host-pathogen interface to reprogram host signaling by redirecting proteins or organelles to the inclusion. Using a combination of co-affinity purification, immunofluorescence confocal imaging, and proteomics, we characterize the interaction between an early-expressed Inc of unknown function, Tri1, and tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 7 (TRAF7). TRAF7 is a multi-domain protein with a RING finger ubiquitin ligase domain and a C-terminal WD40 domain, the latter is mutated in a subset of tumors. TRAF7 regulates several innate immune signaling pathways associated with C. trachomatis infection. We demonstrate that Tri1 and TRAF7 specifically interact during infection and that TRAF7 is recruited to the inclusion. We further show that the predicted coiled-coil domain Tri1 is necessary and sufficient to interact with the TRAF7 WD40 domain. Finally, we demonstrate that Tri1 displaces native TRAF7 binding partners, MEKK2 and MEKK3. Together, our results suggest that by displacing the TRAF7 native binding partners MEKK2 and/or MEKK3, Tri1 has the capacity to alter TRAF7 signaling during infection.

A kinome-wide high-content siRNA screen identifies MEK5-ERK5 signaling as critical for breast cancer cell EMT and metastasis

Project description:We have employed a high-content microscopy screen in combination with a kinome and phosphatome-wide siRNA library to identify signaling pathways underlying an EMT of murine mammary epithelial cells and breast cancer cells. This screen identified the MEK5-ERK5 axis as a critical player in TGFb-mediated EMT. Suppression of MEK5-ERK5 signaling completely prevented the morphological and molecular changes occurring during a TGFb-induced EMT and, conversely, forced highly metastatic breast cancer cells into a differentiated epithelial state. Inhibition of MEK5-ERK5 signaling also repressed breast cancer cell migration and invasion and substantially reduced lung metastasis without affecting primary tumor growth. The results suggest that the MEK5-ERK5 signaling axis plays an important role in the induction and maintenance of breast cancer cell migration and invasion and thus represents an exploitable target for the pharmacological inhibition of cancer cell metastasis.
