BLNK negatively regulates C-type lectin receptor-mediated antifungal immunity through inhibiting macrophage migration

ABSTRACT: B cell linker protein (BLNK) is a pivotal adaptor protein that interfaces the B cell receptor (BCR)-associated spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) to regulate B cell function and development. However, it is still not well understood whether BLNK is involved in Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptor (CLR) signaling in myeloid cells, particularly in the context of antifungal immunity. Here, we show that stimulation with fungi-derived β-glucans or α-mannans induced the phosphorylation of BLNK in macrophages, which was significantly impaired due to the deficiency of CLRs including Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, as well as their downstream mediators Syk and Fc-receptor gamma-chain (FcRγ). Furthermore, BLNK is induced to be interacted with casitas B-lineage lymphoma (c-Cbl), which is completely dependent on the engagement of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2. Notably, BLNK deficiency facilitates CLR-mediated recruitment of c-Cbl/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) complex to F-actin cytoskeleton, thereby promoting macrophage migration. Consequently, mice with monocyte-specific deficiency of BLNK are highly resistant to the infection with Candida albicans, a major human fungal pathogen, through increasing the infiltration of Ly6C+macrophages into kidneys. Together, our data indicate that BLNK functions downstream of Syk-coupled CLRs to negatively regulate antifungal immunity against C. albicans infection. These findings unravel a previously unidentified role of BLNK that negatively regulates macrophage migration through inhibiting CLR-mediated recruitment of c-Cbl/PI3K complex to the cytoskeleton.

in vitro ubiquitination by E3 ligase Cbl-b

Project description:Fungal infections claim an estimated 1.5 million lives every year. Mechanisms that protect from fungal infections are still elusive. Recognition of fungal pathogens relies on C-type lectin receptors (CLR) and their downstream signaling kinase SYK. Here we report that the E3-ubiquitin-ligase CBL-B controls proximal C-type lectin receptor signaling in macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that CBL-B associates with SYK and ubiquitinates SYK, Dectin-1, and Dectin-2 upon fungal recognition. Functionally, CBL-B deficiency results in increased inflammasome activation, enhanced reactive oxygen species production, and increased fungal killing. Genetic deletion of Cblb protects mice from morbidity caused by cutaneous infection and markedly improves survival upon a lethal systemic infection with Candida albicans. Based on these findings, we engineered a cell-permeable CBL-B inhibitory peptide that protects mice from lethal C. albicans infections. We thus describe a key role for Cblb in the regulation of innate anti-fungal immunity and establish a novel paradigm for the treatment of fungal sepsis.

The protective effect of inflammatory monocytes during systemic C. albicans infection is dependent on collaboration between C-type lectin-like receptors

Project description:Invasive candidiasis, mainly caused by Candida albicans, is a serious healthcare problem with high mortality rates, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Innate immune cells express pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) including C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) that bind C. albicans to initiate an immune response. Multiple CLRs including Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle have been proposed individually to contribute to the immune response to C. albicans. However how these receptors collaborate to clear a fungal infection is unknown. Herein, we used novel multi-CLR knockout (KO) mice to decipher the individual, collaborative and collective roles of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle during systemic C. albicans infection. These studies revealed an unappreciated and profound role for CLR co-operation in anti-fungal immunity. The protective effect of multiple CLRs was markedly greater than any single receptor, and was mediated through inflammatory monocytes via recognition and phagocytosis of C. albicans, and production of C. albicans-induced cytokines and chemokines. These CLRs were dispensable for mediating similar responses from neutrophils, likely due to lower expression of these CLRs on neutrophils compared to inflammatory monocytes. Concurrent deletion of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, or all three CLRs, resulted in dramatically increased susceptibility to systemic C. albicans infection compared to mice lacking a single CLR. Multi-CLR KO mice were unable to control fungal growth due to an inadequate early inflammatory monocyte-mediated response. In response to excessive fungal growth, the multi-CLR KO mice mounted a hyper-inflammatory response, likely leading to multiple organ failure. Thus, these data reveal a critical role for CLR co-operation in the effective control of C. albicans and maintenance of organ function during infection.

Vav proteins are key regulators of Card9 signaling for innate antifungal immunity

Project description:Fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The innate immune system senses fungal pathogens through a family of Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which signal through the conserved immune adapter Card9. Although Card9 complexes are essential for antifungal defense in humans and mice, the mechanisms that couple CLR-proximal events to Card9 control are not well defined. Here, using a proteomic approach, we identified Vav proteins as key activators of the Card9 pathway. Vav1, Vav2 and Vav3 cooperate downstream of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle to selectively engage Card9 for NF-κB control and proinflammatory gene transcription but are not involved in MAPK activation. Although Vav family members show functional redundancy, Vav1/2/3 triple-deficient cells are severely impaired for NF-κB and cytokine responses upon stimulation with CLR agonists or hyphae, and Vav1/2/3-/- mice phenocopy Card9-/- animals with extreme susceptibility to fungi and rapid mortality upon Candida albicans infection. In this context, Vav3 is the single most important Vav in mice, and a polymorphism in human VAV3 is associated with susceptibility to candidemia in patients. Our results reveal a molecular mechanism for CLR-mediated Card9 regulation that controls innate immunity to fungal infections.

RNA sequencing of human monocytes stimulated with murine platelets from wild-type or Clec1b-/- mice

Project description:C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) recognize glycans present on the surface of pathogens or self and mediate host defense as well as homeostasis. Dectin-1 is the most well-characterized CLR which recognizes β-glucan on various pathogens and expressed on human myeloid cells. Recently, we screened various tissue-derived primary cells for Dectin-1 binding and found that human Dectin-1 selectively binds to platelets. By establishing anti-platelet monoclonal antibodies that inhibit human Dectin-1 binding, we identified that CLEC-2 is responsible for the interaction with human Dectin-1. CLEC-2 is critical for lymphangiogenesis in early embryonic stage. In this study, we evaluated the influence on CLEC-2 binding in human monocytes which highly expresses human Dectin-1 by RNA sequencing.

Transcription profiling of mouse MyD88-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages treated with Zymosan

Project description:Innate immune pattern recognition receptors play critical roles in pathogen detection and initiation of antimicrobial responses. We and others have previously demonstrated the importance of the beta-glucan receptor Dectin-1 in the recognition of pathogenic fungi by macrophages and dendritic cells, and have elucidated some of the mechanisms by which Dectin-1 signals to coordinate the antifungal response. While Dectin-1 signals alone are sufficient to trigger phagocytosis and Src-Syk-mediated induction of antimicrobial reactive oxygen species, collaboration with Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 signaling enhances NF-kB activation and regulates cytokine production. In this study we demonstrate that Dectin-1 signaling can also directly modulate gene expression via activation of nuclear transcription of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription factors. Dectin-1 ligation by zymosan particles or live Candida albicans yeast triggers NFAT activation in macrophages and dendritic cells. Dectin-1-triggered NFAT activation plays a role in the induction of Egr2 and Egr3 transcription factors, and cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2). Furthermore, we show that NFAT activation regulates IL-2, IL-10 and IL-12 p70 production by zymosan-stimulated dendritic cells. These data establish NFAT activation in myeloid cells as a novel mechanism of regulation of the innate antimicrobial response. Experiment Overall Design: Bone marrow-derived macrophages deficient in MyD88 were stimulated with zymosan, and total RNA was extracted 120 minutes after stimulation for comparison to macrophages grown under the same conditions, but not stimulated.

Dectin-1-mediated signaling leads to characteristic gene expressions in rat mast cells

Project description:Rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 was analyzed to investigate the molecular mechanism of Dectin-1-mediated activation and responses of mast cells. Dectin-1-mediated signaling stimulated characteristic gene expression, such as MCP-1, IL-4, IL-13, TNF-αand Nfkbiz. RBL-2H3 cell line stably expressing Dectin-1 was established. Non-stimulated cells (control) compared to Dectin-1-stimulated (Curdlan) cells in order to comfirm Dectin-1-mediated signaling-inducible genes. Dectin-1-stimulated cells compared to Syk inhibitor R406-pretreated cells in order to examine the importance of Syk for Dectin-1-mediated gene up-regulations.

Pathogen size alters C-type lectin receptor signaling in dendritic cells to influence CD4 Th9 cell differentiation

Project description:Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucan in fungal cell walls, and activation of Dectin-1 in dendritic cells (DCs) influences immune responses against fungi. Although many studies have shown that Dectin-1 activated DCs induce different subsets of T helper cells according to different cytokine milieus, the precise mechanisms underlying such differences remain unknown. By harnessing polymorphic Candida albicans and polystyrene beads of different sizes, we found that target size influences production of cytokine that control differentiation of T helper cell subsets. Hyphal C. albicans and large beads activate DCs but cannot be phagocytosed due to their size, which prolongs the duration of Dectin-1 signaling. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of Il33 was significantly increased by larger targets, and increased IL-33 expression promoted TH9 responses. Expression of IL-33 was regulated by Dectin-1-SYK-PLCγ-CARD9-ERK pathway. Altogether, our study demonstrates that size of fungi can be a determining factor in which DCs induce context-appropriate adaptive immune responses.

Gene expression profiling of two diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines, DHL4 and DHL6, treated with the SYK inhibitor, R406

Project description:The two DLBCL cell lines were treated with R406 to assess the signature of SYK inhibition. In previous studies, R406 decreased the proliferation and induced apoptosis of these surface Ig+ cell lines. In the previous studies, R406 inhibited the autophosphorylation of SYK 525/526 and SYK-dependent phosphorylation of BCR signaling components such as BLNK.
