Project description:The alternative (non-canonical) nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway predominantly regulates the function of the p52/RelB heterodimer. Germline Nfkb2 deficiency in mice leads to loss of p100/p52 protein and offers protection against a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, such as azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis-associated cancer and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced small intestinal epithelial apoptosis. However, the common underlying protective mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here we applied RNA sequencing and identified a B-lymphocyte defect as the major signature in the small intestinal mucosa of naïve adult Nfkb2-/- mice. Proteomics analysis also revealed a dramatic decrease in small intestinal immunoglobulin A levels, and this was validated by quantitative ELISA in both small intestinal lysates and serum. Moreover, the numbers of IgA-producing, CD138+ve plasma cells were also reduced in the lamina propria of the small intestinal villi of Nfkb2-/- mice. This phenotype was even more striking in the small intestinal mucosa of RelB-/- mice, although these mice were equally sensitive to LPS-induced intestinal apoptosis as their RelB+/+ wild-type counterparts. Therefore, p52 deficiency offers resistance to LPS-induced intestinal apoptosis and appears to regulate the plasma cell population within the gut.

Project description:As such, TNF triggers the canonical NF-?B pathway to induce a nuclear NF-?B activity composed of the RelA:p50 dimer in WT cells. Nfkb2 encodes p100, which regulates the activity of the RelB NF-?B heterodimers during immune cell-differentiation via the noncanonical pathway. Our biochemical analyses revealed that an absence of p100 instead repositions RelB under the control of the TNF-activated canonical pathway. Indeed, chronic TNF treatment of Nfkb2-/- cells activates the RelA:p50 dimer and an additional RelB:p50 dimer. On the other hand, TNF stimulation of Relb-/-Nfkb2-/- and Rela-/-Nfkb2-/- MEFs exclusively activated the RelA:p50 dimer and the RelB:p50 dimer, respectively. We treated this panel of knockout MEFs with TNF for 6h before being subjected to microarray mRNA analysis. We also included in our analysis WT MEFs and Rela-/-Relb-/-Rel-/- MEFs, which served as a negative control. Our analyses revealed overlapping and distinct gene-expression specificities of RelA:p50 and RelB:p50 dimers activated in mutant cells in response to TNF.

Project description:The malignant cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma are characterized by a constitutive activation of the canonical as well as the non-canonical NF-κB signaling cascades. We carried out genome-wide localization and expression profiling experiments in the Hodgkin lymphoma cell line L1236 for the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathway components p65, p50 and p52, RelB, respectively. We found that the single NF-κB subunits bind to overlapping, but distinct cistromes by using consensus motifs of high similarity.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to induce the conversion of activated T-cells into regulatory T-cells in vitro. The marker CD69 is a target of canonical NF-κB signaling and is transiently expressed upon activation; however, stable CD69 expression defines cells with immunoregulatory properties. Given its enormous therapeutic potential, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of regulatory cells by MSCs. Peripheral blood CD3+ T-cells were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. CD4+ cell mRNA expression was then characterized by microarray analysis. The drug BAY11-7082 and a siRNA against RELB were used to explore the differential roles of canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling, respectively. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were used for analyses. Genes with immunoregulatory functions, CD69 and non-canonical NF-κB subunits (RELB and NFKB2) were all expressed at higher levels in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. The frequency of CD69+ cells among lymphocytes cultured alone progressively decreased after activation. In contrast, the frequency of CD69+ cells increased significantly following activation in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. Inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling by BAY immediately following activation blocked the induction of CD69; however, inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling on the 3rd day further induced the expression of CD69. Furthermore, late expression of CD69 was inhibited by RELB siRNA. These results indicate that the canonical NF-κB pathway controls the early expression of CD69 after activation; however, in an immunoregulatory context, late and sustained CD69 expression is promoted by the non-canonical pathway and is inhibited by canonical NF-κB signaling. In order to study the molecular basis by which Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) exert their immune regulatory function, immunomagnetically purified CD3+ T-cells from the peripheral blood of 3 individuals were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. Following 5 days, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were further immunomagnetically selected and their gene expression profiles were obtained by microarrays and compared. Paired samples from 3 individuals were used for this analysis.

Project description:NF-kappaB Activation Model includes the activation of both NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB for Canonical and Non-Canonical Pathway respectively.
The model includes the pathway model integrated with post-translational modifications of NF-kB subunits that regulate the NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB activity. The processes that are regulated by NF-kB pathway can be monitored through following readouts NFKB1:RELA Activity, NFKB2:RELB Activity, Degraded RelA, Degraded RelB, Degraded IkB, Degraded NIK, Apoptosis, Tumour, Antiviral Activity, B Cell Growth and Cell Migration. However, last 5 processes above are also influenced by other pathways too, therefore while making predictions, caution has to be exercised.

Project description:The canonical NF-kB module induces nuclear translocation of RelA heterodimers from the latent cytoplasmic complexes. RelA directs inflammatory immune responses against microbial entities. However, aberrant RelA activity also triggers destructive inflammation, including those associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). What provokes this pathological RelA activity remains unclear. As such, the noncanonical NF-kB pathway activates RelB heterodimers and mediates immune organogenesis. Because NF-kB-activating pathways are interlinked, we asked if noncanonical NF-kB signaling exacerbated intestinal inflammation. Our investigation revealed recurrent engagement of the noncanonical pathway in human IBD. In a mouse model of chemical colitis, the noncanonical NF-kB signaling gene Nfkb2 aggravated inflammation by amplifying the RelA activity induced in intestinal epithelial cells. Our mechanistic studies clarified that noncanonical signaling augmented the abundance of latent RelA complexes leading to hyperactive canonical NF-kB response in the colitogenic gut. In sum, latent dimer homeostasis appears to link noncanonical NF-kB signaling to RelA-driven inflammatory pathologies.

Project description:To elucidate the mechanisms responsible for cytoprotective effects of tumor necrosis factor receptor activated factor 2 (TRAF2) in the heart, we employed genetic gain and loss of function studies ex vivo and in vivo in mice with cardiac restricted overexpression of TRAF2 (Myh6-TRAF2LC). Crossing Myh6-TRAF2LC mice with mice lacking canonical signaling (Myh6-TRAF2LC/Myh6-IκBαΔN) abrogated the cytoprotective effects of TRAF2 ex vivo. In contrast, inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway did not abrogate the cytoprotective effects of TRAF2. Transcriptional profiling of wild-type, Myh6-TRAF2LC, Myh6-TRAF2LC/Myh6-IκBαΔN hearts suggested that the non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathway was upregulated in the Myh6-TRAF2LC hearts. Western blotting and ELISA for the NF-κB family proteins p50, p65, p52 and RelB on nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts from naïve 12 week old wild-type, Myh6-TRAF2LC and Myh6-TRAF2LC/Myh6-IκBαΔN mouse hearts showed increased expression levels and increased DNA binding of p52 and RelB, which are NF-κB family members, whereas there was no increase in expression nor DNA binding of the p50 and p65 subunits. Crossing Myh6-TRAF2LCmice with RelB-/+mice (Myh6-TRAF2LC/RelB-/+) attenuated the cytoprotective effects of TRAF2 ex vivo and in vivo. Viewed together, these results suggest that cross-talk between the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways is required for mediating the cytoprotective effects of TRAF2.

Project description:Malignant Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) cells are characterized by constitutive activation of the canonical as well as the non-canonical NF-κB signaling cascades. We depleted subunit combinations corresponding to either canonical (p50/RelA) or non-canonical (p52/RelB) dimers in the HL cell line L-1236 and performed Affymetrix microarray analysis. Knockdown of p52/RelB affected the expression of a significantly higher number of genes than the knockdown of p50/RelA. The two sets of target genes presented a partial overlap, however they also revealed specific genes that are involved in distinct aspects of tumor biology.

Project description:Malignant cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) cells are characterized by constitutive activation of the canonical as well as the non-canonical NF-κB signaling cascades. Knockdown of a subunit combination corresponding to the non-canonical NF-κB dimer (p52/RelB) in the HL cell line L-1236 caused up-regulation of a set of genes that are associated with hematopoietic and lymphoid organ development. As p52 can form homodimeric complexes, which can repress transcription either alone or in association with transcriptional repressors such as HDAC1, we knocked down p52 alone to analyze its role in gene repression in HL cells. We found that the single knockdown of p52 is indeed sufficient to up-regulate an interesting set of genes that may play a role in B-cell and/or HL development.

The knockdown of subunit combinations corresponding to either canonical (p50/RelA, experimental group 1) or non-canonical (p52/RelB, experimental group 2) NF-κB heterodimers were carried out in L-1236 cells. Two distinct siRNA sequences for every NF-κB subunit and two non-targeting siRNA sequences (control) were used for each experimental group. Experiments were performed in biological triplicates.
