The early macrophage response to pathogens requires dynamic regulation of the nuclear paraspeckle

ABSTRACT: To ensure a robust immune response to pathogens without risking immunopathology, the kinetics and amplitude of inflammatory gene expression in macrophages need to be exqui- sitely well controlled. There is a growing appreciation for stress-responsive membraneless organelles (MLOs) regulating various steps of eukaryotic gene expression in response to extrinsic cues. Here, we implicate the nuclear paraspeckle, a highly ordered biomolecular condensate that nucleates on the Neat1 lncRNA, in tuning innate immune gene expression in murine macrophages. In response to a variety of innate agonists, macrophage paraspeckles rapidly aggregate (0.5 h poststimulation) and disaggregate (2 h poststimulation). Paraspeckle maintenance and aggregation require active transcription and MAPK signaling, whereas paraspeckle disaggregation requires degradation of Neat1 via the nuclear RNA exosome. In response to lipopolysaccharide treatment, Neat1 KO macrophages fail to properly express a large cohort of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and antimicrobial mediators. Consequently, Neat1 KO macrophages cannot control replication of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium or vesicular stomatitis virus. These findings highlight a prominent role for MLOs in orchestrating the macrophage response to pathogens and support a model whereby dynamic assembly and disassembly of paraspeckles reorganizes the nuclear landscape to enable inflammatory gene expression following innate stimuli.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of chromatin; however, the mechanistic roles for many lncRNAs are poorly understood in part because their direct interactions with genomic loci and proteins are difficult to assess. We used CHART-seq to map the genomic binding sites for two highly expressed human lncRNAs, NEAT1 and MALAT1, which localize within the nucleus to paraspeckles and nuclear speckles, respectively. We show that NEAT1 and MALAT1 localize to hundreds of genomic sites in human cells, primarily over active genes. NEAT1 and MALAT1 exhibit colocalization to many of these loci, but display distinct gene body binding patterns at these sites, suggesting independent but complementary functions for these RNAs. Protein mass spectrometry analysis of CHART-enriched material (CHART-MS) identified numerous proteins enriched by both lncRNAs, supporting complementary binding and function, in addition to unique associated proteins. Transcriptional inhibition or stimulation affects the localization of NEAT1 to active chromatin sites, implying that DNA sequence itself does not target NEAT1 to chromatin and that localization responds to cues involved in the transcription process. Paired-end CHART-seq was performed for a single replicate of each capture oligonucleotide in untreated MCF-7 cells to establish binding sites of these RNAs, for a total of 6 samples. To investigate the effects of transcriptional inhibition and E2 stimulation on the localization of these RNAs, we performed paired-end CHART-seq with each capture oligonucleotide for two biological replicates of flavopiridol- and vehicle (DMSO)-treated MCF-7 cells and for two biological replicates of E2- and vehicle (ethanol)-treated MCF-7 cells. To establish the overlap of NEAT1 and MALAT1 binding sites with a known component of paraspeckles (NEAT1-containing subnuclear body), we performed paired-end ChIP-seq for the paraspeckle component PSF in MCF-7 cells, as well as a single-end biological replicate.
