Transcriptional suppression of sphingolipid catabolism controls pathogen resistance in C. elegans [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Sphingolipids are required for diverse biological functions and are degraded by specific catabolic enzymes. However, the mechanisms that regulate sphingolipid catabolism are not known. Here we characterize a transcriptional axis that regulates sphingolipid breakdown to control resistance against bacterial infection. From an RNAi screen for transcriptional regulators of pathogen resistance in the nematode C. elegans, we identified the nuclear hormone receptor nhr-66, a ligand-gated transcription factor homologous to human hepatocyte nuclear factor 4. Tandem chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments revealed that NHR-66 is a transcriptional repressor, which directly targets sphingolipid catabolism genes. Transcriptional de-repression of two sphingolipid catabolic enzymes in nhr-66 loss-of-function mutants drives the breakdown of sphingolipids, which enhances host susceptibility to infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These data define transcriptional control of sphingolipid catabolism in the regulation of cellular sphingolipids, a process that is necessary for pathogen resistance.

HELA cells Sphingolipid pulldown (Cers6 and Cers5)

Project description:Ectopic lipid deposition and altered mitochondrial dynamics contribute to the development of obesity and insulin resistance. However, the mechanistic link between both processes remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that abrogation of ceramide synthase (CerS)6, which generates C16:0-sphingolipids, but not of the alternative C16:0-sphingolipid synthetizing CerS5 protects from obesity and insulin resistance, and both enzymes regulate C16:0-sphingolipid synthesis in distinct intracellular compartments. Moreover, we identify proteins, which specifically interact with C16:0-sphingolipids derived from CerS5 or CerS6. Here, only CerS6-derived C16:0-sphingolipids bind the mitochondrial fission factor (Mff). CerS6- and Mff-deficiency protects from fatty acid-induced mitochondrial fragmentation in vitro, and both proteins genetically interact in vivo in obesity-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and development of insulin resistance. Our experiments reveal an unprecedented specificity of sphingolipid-signaling depending on specific synthetizing enzymes, provide a mechanistic link between lipid deposition and mitochondrial dynamics in obesity, and define the CerS6/sphingolid/Mff interaction as a therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes.

Polyketide synthase-derived sphingolipids determine microbiota-mediated protection against pathogens inC. elegans

Project description:Protection against pathogens is a major function of the gut microbiota. Although bacterial natural products have emerged as crucial components of host-microbiota interactions, their exact role in microbiota-mediated protection is largely unexplored. We addressed this knowledge gap with the nematodeCaenorhabditis elegansand its microbiota isolatePseudomonas fluorescensMYb115 that is known to protect againstBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) infection. We find that MYb115-mediated protection depends on sphingolipids that are derived from an iterative type I polyketide synthase (PKS), thereby describing a noncanonical pathway of bacterial sphingolipid production. We provide evidence that MYb115-derived sphingolipids affectC. eleganstolerance to Bt infection by altering host sphingolipid metabolism. This work establishes sphingolipids as structural outputs of bacterial PKS and highlights the role of microbiota-derived sphingolipids in host protection against pathogens.

sphingo-1-Identification of Sphingolipid regulated genes in cold stress response. Sphingolipids regulated genes.

Project description:rs07-05_sphingolipids-cold - sphingo-1 - The cold choc response seems to be partly triggered by Sphingolipid species. To date no gene response as been associated to sphingolipid signaling pathway in plant. Our aim is to identify among the cold induced genes the ones regulated by sphingolipids and to try to define a sphingolipid pathway specific group of genes. - 7ml of 5 days-old cells suspensions were incubated in presence of different sphingolipid pathway inhibitors, 30 min to 2 hours depending in the coumpound (all were resuspended in DMSO and control were done with DMSO). Then a 30 min cold choc was applied before cells were harvested and frozen in cold nitrogen. RNA were then extracted. FB1 and DMS were from Alexis , Myr from Cayman, TSP from matreya. 6 dye-swap - treated vs untreated comparison

RNA-Sequencing used to identify the targets of NHR-49, a transcription factor that acts in distinct tissues to promote longevity versus immunity

Project description:Previously, we identified NHR-49, functional homolog of the key vertebrate lipid metabolism regulator HNF4/PPARa, as essential for the longevity of Germiline Strem Cell (GSC)-less animals. Since longevity and stress resistance have been reported to be strongly linked, we examined the role of NHR-49 in resistance against the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain PA14. As a part of this effort we employed RNA-Sequencing to determine the downstream targets of NHR-49 in GSC-less animals.
