Effect of SPNS1 on lipid metabolism in mice

ABSTRACT: Accumulation of sphingolipids, especially sphingosines, in the lysosomes is attributed to the pathogenesis of several lysosomal storage diseases. In searching for a lysosomal protein that mediates the release of sphingosines, we identified SPNS1 which shares the highest homology to SPNS2, a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) transporter. We generated knockout cells and mice for Spns1 and employed lipidomics and metabolomics to identify SPNS1 ligands. We found that knockouts of Spns1 resulted in the accumulation of sphingolipids including sphingosines in embryonic brains and cell lines. These results suggest that deficiency of SPNS1 affects the clearance of sphingolipids in lysosomes. Biochemical assays demonstrated that sphingosines released from lysosomes required SPNS1. Postnatal deletion of Spns1 in mice causes lipid accumulation in the lysosomes and pathological conditions that are reminiscent of sphingolipid lysosomal storage diseases. These results reveal a critical molecular role of SPNS1 as a transporter for lysosphingolipids and lysoglyerophospholipids from the lysosomes and link its physiological roles with lysosomal storage diseases.

Spns1 controls megalin dependent endocytosis via iron misregulation

Project description:Proximal tubule endocytosis is essential for protecting the kidney from potentially damaging proteinuria and for mediating metabolic pathways, such as the activation of Vitamin D. We have identified the lysosomal membrane protein, Spns1, as a novel iron conductance that is indispensable for the normal endocytic function of the proximal tubule. Conditional knockout of Spns1 with a Cre-lox system in megalin-expressing cells in mice leads to arrest of both pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis in the proximal tubule. This endocytic defect is associated with iron overload in proximal tubules as measured by immunofluorescence of ferritin abundance and by a reduction in nascent TfRc mRNA transcripts. We have recapitulated previous findings in drosophila and zebrafish that Spns1 knockout causes endolysosomal dysfunction including abnormally enlarged lysosomes. The endocytic defect resulting from conditional Spns1 knockout can be rescued nutritionally with an iron deficient diet or genetically through double knockout of both Spns1 and the Fe2+ transporter, DMT1. Surprisingly, the endocytic defect in mice with Spns1 conditional knockout occurs despite normal megalin expression at the proximal tubule apical membrane. This data raises the possibilty that post-translational regulation of megalin activation may be nutrient-responsive.

The Expression profile of splenic Ly6C low/Ly6C high macrophages in SLC29A3 deficient mice

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in the lysosomal nucleoside transporter SLC29A3 lead to the accumulation of nucleosides in lysosomes and result in histiocytosis, characterized by the excessive accumulation of phagocytes in multiple organs. However, the underlying mechanism by which lysosomal nucleoside storage drives histiocytosis remains poorly understood. Herein, we provide evidence that histiocytosis in Slc29a3–/– mice is dependent on Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), which senses a combination of guanosines and oligoribonucleotides. TLR7 increased phagocyte populations by driving the proliferation of immature Ly6C high splenic macrophages and their subsequent maturation into Ly6C low phagocytes in Slc29a3–/– mice. Interestingly, TLR7 activation in nucleoside-laden splenic macrophages failed to induce inflammatory responses. Our data demonstrate that TLR7 responses to lysosomal nucleoside stress drive unique immune responses distinct from inflammation in SLC29A3-related disorders.

Spinster homolog 1 (spns1)-dependent endocardial autophagy-lysosomal pathway drives valve morphogenesis through the control of Notch1 signaling.

Project description:Autophagy-lysosomal degradation is an evolutionarily conserved process key to cellular homeostasis, differentiation, and stress survival, which is particularly important to the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. What is more, both experimental and clinical observations indicate that autophagy-lysosomal degradation affects correct cardiac morphogenesis, and in particular valve development. However, it is still unclear which cells upregulate autophagy-lysosomal degradation and for which specific cellular processes it is required. Here, we introduce novel zebrafish transgenic models to visualize autophagosomes and lysosomes in vivo and to follow their temporal and cellular localization in the larval heart. This allowed us to determine the kinetics of autophagosome and lysosome vesicle formation and to observe significant accumulation of lysosomal vesicles during the development of the atrioventricular and bulboventricular valves. We then addressed the functional role of lysosomal degradation in cardiovascular development using a spns1 mutant as a zebrafish model of lysosomal impairment. We found that spns1 mutants displayed morphologically and functionally abnormal heart development, including abnormal endocardial organization, impaired cardiac valve formation and high incidence of retrograde blood flow. Single-nuclear transcriptome analysis revealed endocardial-specific differences in the expression of lysosome-related genes and alterations of notch1 signaling in the mutant larval heart. Further, endocardial-specific overexpression of spns1 and notch1 rescued features of valve formation and function as well as overall cardiac morphogenesis. Altogether, our study provides an improved description of the autophagy and lysosomal events that take place during zebrafish heart development and reveals a cell-autonomous role of lysosomal processing during cardiac valve formation upstream of notch1 signaling.

Autophagy and lysosomal dysfunction in Tay Sachs disease are restored by mTOR modulation

Project description:Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a inherited lysosomal storage disease resulting from mutations in the α-subunits of the lysosomal enzyme, β-hexosaminidase A, and leads to excessive accumulation of GM2 ganglioside. This disease can be presented in infantil, juvenil and adult forms with rapid, progressive neurodegeneration. Although the link between mTOR and autophagy in Taysachs diseases has not been previously examined, it is reasonably to infer that reduced activity of HexA and the consequent intracellular accumulation of undegraded ganglyosides could lead accumulation of lysosomes, other substrates or dysfunctional organelles, similar to other defects detected in other LSD. In the present study, we show that skin fibroblasts derived from PLS patients presented increased p62/SQSTM1 expression levels and autophagosome accumulation suggesting an impaired autophagic flux.

Calcitonin controls bone formation by inhibiting the release of sphingosine 1-phosphate from osteoclasts

Project description:The hormone calcitonin (CT) is primarily known for its pharmacologic action as an inhibitor of bone resorption, yet CT-deficient mice display increased bone formation. These findings raised the question about the underlying cellular and molecular mechanism of CT action. Here we show that either ubiquitous or osteoclast-specific inactivation of the murine CT receptor (CTR) causes increased bone formation. CT negatively regulates the osteoclast expression of Spns2 gene, which encodes a transporter for the signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). CTR-deficient mice show increased S1P levels, and their skeletal phenotype is normalized by deletion of the S1P receptor S1P3. Finally, pharmacologic treatment with the non-selective S1P receptor agonist FTY720 causes increased bone formation in wildtype, but not in S1P3-deficient mice. This study redefines the role of CT in skeletal biology, confirms that S1P acts as an osteoanabolic molecule in vivo, and provides evidence for a pharmacologically exploitable crosstalk between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts of wildtype and Calcr-/- C57Bl/6 mice were treated with Calcitonin and compared to the non-treated osteoclasts of wildtype or Calcr-/- mice, respectively.

S1P lyase deficiency disrupts lipid homeostasis in liver

Project description:The cleavage of sphingoid base phosphates by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase to produce phosphoethanolamine and a fatty aldehyde is the final degradative step in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway. We have studied mice with an inactive S1P lyase gene and have found that, in addition to the expected increase of sphingoid base phosphates, other sphingolipids (including sphingosine, ceramide, and sphingomyelin) were substantially elevated in the serum and /or liver of these mice. This latter increase is consistent with a reutilization of the sphingosine backbone for sphingolipid synthesis due to its inability to exit the sphingolipid metabolic pathway. Furthermore, the S1P lyase deficiency resulted in changes in the levels of serum and liver lipids not directly within the sphingolipid pathway, including phospholipids, triacyglycerol, diacylglycerol, and cholesterol. Even though lipids in serum and lipid storage were elevated in liver, adiposity was reduced in the S1P lyase-deficient mice. Microarray analysis of lipid metabolism genes in liver showed that the S1P lyase deficiency caused widespread changes in their expression pattern. These results demonstrate that S1P lyase is a key regulator of the levels of multiple sphingolipid substrates and reveal functional links between the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and other lipid metabolic pathways that may be mediated by shared lipid substrates and changes in gene expression programs. The disturbance of lipid homeostasis by altered sphingolipid levels may be relevant to metabolic diseases. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from liver for three sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase knock-out and three WT mice.

Lysosome Lipid Signaling from the Periphery to Neurons Regulates Longevity

Project description:<p>Lysosomes are key cellular organelles that metabolize extra- and intra-cellular substrates. Alterations in lysosomal metabolism are implicated in aging-associated metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. However, how lysosomal metabolism actively coordinates the metabolic and nervous systems to regulate aging remains unclear. Here, we report a fat-to-neuron lipid signaling pathway induced by lysosomal metabolism and its longevity promoting role in <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>. We discovered that induced lysosomal lipolysis in peripheral fat storage tissue up-regulates the neuropeptide signaling pathway in the nervous system to promote longevity. This cell-non-autonomous regulation is mediated by a 47 specific polyunsaturated fatty acid, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) and LBP-3 lipid chaperone protein transporting from the fat storage tissue to neurons. LBP-3 binds to DGLA, and acts through NHR-49 nuclear receptor and NLP-11 neuropeptide in neurons to extend lifespan. These results reveal lysosomes as a signaling hub to coordinate metabolism and aging, and lysosomal signaling mediated inter-tissue communication in promoting longevity.</p>

Genetic and Acquired Lysosomal Disorders Drive Susceptibility to Tuberculosis by Compromising Macrophage Migration

Project description:A zebrafish forward genetic screen for determinants of susceptibility to Mycobacterium marinum identified a hypersusceptible mutant deficient in the lysosomal hydrolase Cathepsin L that manifests the hallmarks of human lysosomal storage diseases. In uninfected mutants, macrophages progressively accumulate undigested material in their lysosomes, leading to impaired migration and the accumulation of unengulfed cell debris. During mycobacterial infection, these vacuolated macrophages cannot migrate to phagocytose infected macrophages undergoing apoptosis in the tuberculous granuloma. Consequently, unengulfed apoptotic macrophages undergo secondary necrosis causing granuloma breakdown and increased mycobacterial growth. Macrophage lysosomal accumulations similarly impair migration to newly infecting mycobacteria. We find that important aspects of this phenotype are recapitulated in human smokers, who are at increased risk for tuberculosis. A majority of alveolar macrophages from smokers exhibit lysosomal accumulations and do not migrate to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This incapacitation of highly microbicidal first-responding macrophages may contribute to smokers' susceptibility to tuberculosis.

A PIKfyve Modulator Combined with an Integrated Stress Response Inhibitor to treat Lysosomal Storage Diseases

Project description:Lysosomal degradation pathways coordinate the clearance of superfluous and damaged cellular components. Compromised lysosomal degradation is a hallmark of many degenerative diseases, including lysosomal storage diseases, which are caused by loss-of-function mutations within both alleles of a lysosomal hydrolase, leading to lysosomal substrate accumulation. Gaucher’s disease, characterized by <15% of normal glucocerebrosidase function, is the most common lysosomal storage disease and is a prominent risk factor for developing Parkinson’s disease. Here, we show that either of two structurally distinct small molecules that modulate PIKfyve activity, discovered from a high-throughput cellular lipid droplet clearance screen, can improve glucocerebrosidase function in Gaucher patient–derived fibroblasts through an MiT/TFE transcription factor that promotes lysosomal gene translation. An ISR antagonist used in combination with a PIKfyve modulator further improves cellular glucocerebrosidase activity, likely because integrated stress response (ISR) signaling appears to also be slightly activated by treatment by either small molecule at the higher doses employed, This strategy of combining a PIKfyve modulator with an integrated stress response inhibitor improves mutant lysosomal hydrolase function in cellular models of additional lysosomal storage diseases.
