Desmoglein 2 is a crucial receptor for adenovirus infection of epithelial cells

ABSTRACT: We have identified desmoglein 2 (DSG2) as the primary high-affinity receptor used by adenovirus (Ad) serotypes Ad3, Ad7, and Ad14. These serotypes represent important human pathogens causing respiratory tract infections. In epithelial cells, adenovirus binding to DSG2 triggers events reminiscent of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, leading to transient opening of intercellular junctions. This improves access to receptors, e.g. CD46 and Her2/neu, that are trapped in intercellular junctions. In addition to complete virions, dodecahedral particles (PtDd) formed by viral penton and fiber in excess during viral replication, can trigger DSG2-mediated opening of intercellular junctions as shown by studies with recombinant Ad3 PtDd. Our findings shed light on adenovirus biology and pathogenesis and have implications for cancer therapy.

Electrophysiological defects in a novel patient-derived stem cell model of desmoglein-2 mutant ARVC

Project description:Here we developed a novel human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model of ARVC to gain insight into the electrical and biomolecular effects of desmoglein-2 (DSG2) mutation in cardiomyocytes. hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells donated by an ARVC patient with a pathogenic variant in DSG2, c.2358delA.

RNA-Sequencing of heart tissue obtained from cardiac specific-Dsg2-/- and wild-type (Dsg2+/+) mice at 2-weeks and 10-weeks of age

Project description:We studied how loss of the desmosome associated protein, desmoglein-2 (Dsg2), in the heart leads to Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy with particular interest in the early stages of disease progression. Mice expressing the cardiac αMHC-Cre promoter were crossed with Dsg2 floxed mice in which exon 4-5 of the Dsg2 gene was flanked by loxP sites, resulting in Cre-mediated excision of Dsg2 in cardiac myocytes. Wild type Dsg2+/+ (Cre-, Dsg2flx/flx) and knockout Dsg2-/- (Cre+, Dsg2flx/flx) mice were generated. RNA-seq was performed on heart tissue obtained from wild-type and Dsg2-/- mice at 2-weeks and 10-weeks of age.

Transcriptomic analysis of DSG2-W2A mouse heart tissue

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of DSG2-W2A mouse heart tissue. In DSG2-W2A mice, adhesion of the desmosomal molecule desmoglein-2 (DSG2) is abrogated via mutation of its’ major interaction mechanism (so-called "tryptophan swap" (Harrison, Brasch et al. 2016)). Adult DSG2-W2A mut/mut mice resemble the phenotype of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM or ARVC) with biventricular fibrosis, impaired systolic output function and arrhythmia. This phenotype was present in mutant mice analysed at the age of 9 weeks compared to 5-days old hearts, which showed no morphological alterations.

Melanoma cells repress Desmoglein 1 in keratinocytes to promote tumor cell migration

Project description:Melanoma is an aggressive cancer typically arising from transformation of melanocytes residing in the basal layer of the epidermis, where they are in direct contact with surrounding keratinocytes. The role of keratinocytes in shaping the melanoma tumor microenvironment remains understudied. We previously showed that temporary loss of the keratinocyte-specific cadherin, Desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) controls paracrine signaling between normal melanocytes and keratinocytes to stimulate the protective tanning response. Here, we provide evidence that melanoma cells hijack this intercellular communication by secreting factors that keep Dsg1 expression low in surrounding keratinocytes, which in turn generate their own paracrine signals that enhance melanoma spread through CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling. Evidence suggests a model whereby paracrine signaling from melanoma cells increases levels of the transcriptional repressor Slug, and consequently decreases expression of the Dsg1 transcriptional activator Grhl1. Together, these data support the idea that paracrine crosstalk between melanoma cells and keratinocytes resulting in chronic keratinocyte Dsg1 reduction contributes to melanoma cell movement associated with tumor progression.

Novel splicing and open reading frames revealed by long-read direct RNA sequencing of adenovirus transcripts

Project description:Adenovirus is a common human pathogen that relies on host cell processes for transcription and processing of viral RNA and protein production. Although adenoviral promoters, splice junctions, and cleavage and polyadenylation sites have been characterized using low-throughput biochemical techniques or short read cDNA-based sequencing, these technologies do not fully capture the complexity of the adenoviral transcriptome. By combining Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing approaches, we mapped transcription start sites and cleavage and polyadenylation sites across the adenovirus genome. In addition to confirming the known canonical viral early and late RNA cassettes, our analysis of splice junctions within long RNA reads revealed an additional 35 novel viral transcripts. These RNAs include fourteen new splice junctions which lead to expression of canonical open reading frames (ORF), six novel ORF-containing transcripts, and fifteen transcripts encoding for messages that potentially alter protein functions through truncations or fusion of canonical ORFs. In addition, we also detect RNAs that bypass canonical cleavage sites and generate potential chimeric proteins by linking separate gene transcription units. Of these, an evolutionary conserved protein was detected containing the N-terminus of E4orf6 fused to the downstream DBP/E2A ORF. Loss of this novel protein, E4orf6/DBP, was associated with aberrant viral replication center morphology and poor viral spread. Our work highlights how long-read sequencing technologies can reveal further complexity within viral transcriptomes.

Epidermal Stratification Requires Retromer-Mediated Desmoglein-1 Recycling

Project description:Sorting transmembrane cargo is essential for tissue development and homeostasis. However, mechanisms of intracellular trafficking in stratified epidermis are poorly understood. Here we identify an interaction between the retromer endosomal trafficking component, VPS35, and the desmosomal cadherin, Desmoglein-1 (Dsg1). Dsg1 is specifically expressed in stratified epidermis and when properly localized on the plasma membrane of basal keratinocytes, promotes stratification. We show that the retromer drives Dsg1 recycling from the endo-lysosomal system to the plasma membrane to support stratification. The retromer-enhancing chaperone, R55, promotes the membrane localization of Dsg1 and a trafficking-deficient mutant associated with a severe inflammatory skin disorder, enhancing its ability to promote stratification. In the absence of Dsg1, retromer association with and expression of the glucose transporter GLUT1 increases, exposing a potential link between Dsg1 deficiency and epidermal metabolism. Our work provides the first evidence for retromer function in epidermal regeneration, identifying it as a potential therapeutic target.
