Project description:We examine the global effect of hBD3 on transcription in TLR4-stimulated macrophages and for the first time show that hBD3 inhibits the transcription of critical pro-inflammatory genes. Among the repressed genes we detect significant enrichment of groups involved in the positive regulation of NFkappaB including components of Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Total RNA obtained from bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) that have been subjected to 6 hour treatment with KLA, KLA&hBD3, hBD3 or untreated. There are 3 biological replicates per group.

Among the repressed genes we detect significant enrichment of groups involved in the positive regulation of NFkappaB including components of Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Bone marrow derived macrophages from 3 separate mice were used for each treatment condition. ie macrophages from 3 mice were left untreated, macrophages from 3 mice were treated with LPS, macrophages from 3 mice were treated with LPS and hBD3, macrophages from 3 mice were treated with hBD3. We examined the differences in gene expression between each treatment group.

Project description:The model was constructed to describe TLR4 induced NF-κB activation in native bone marrow-derived macrophages. It included processes of ligand (lipopolysaccharide) recognition, formation of dimer receptor complex and further signal transduction through TRAF6/TAK1 complex that leads to the activation of IKKα/β kinase, which in turn enables the NF-κB transcription factor phosphorylation and translocation in the cell nucleus, and induction of IkB and WIP1 (as an example of induced protein that promotes NF-κB dephosphorylation 2) gene transcription. Models were based on the current knowledge of TLR signaling framework, protein interactions within the TLR4 pathway, and up-to-date mathematical models describing Toll receptor activation.
The major important additions were made to TLR4 signaling description:
1) Receptor dimerization process
2) The existence of a basal nuclear NF-κB level (translocation)
3) NF-κB phosphorylation by IKK complex

Project description:Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of obesity and is linked to the development of numerous diseases. The activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by long-chain saturated fatty acids (lcSFAs) is an important process in understanding how obesity initiates inflammation. While experimental evidence supports an important role for TLR4 in obesity-induced inflammation in vivo, via a mechanism thought to involve direct binding to and activation of TLR4 by lcSFAs, several lines of evidence argue against lcSFAs being direct TLR4 agonists. Using multiple orthogonal approaches, we herein provide evidence that while loss-of-function models confirm that TLR4 does, indeed, regulate lcSFA-induced inflammation, TLR4 is not a receptor for lcSFAs. Rather, we show that TLR4-dependent priming alters gene expression, lipid metabolic pathways, and membrane lipid composition, which are necessary for lcSFA-induced inflammation. These results reconcile previous discordant observations and challenge the prevailing view of TLR4's role in initiating obesity-induced inflammation.

Project description:The antimicrobial peptide human Beta Defensin 3 (hBD3) is an essential part of the innate immune system and involved in protection against respiratory pathogens by specifically permeabilizing bacterial membranes. The Gram-positive bacterium S. pneumoniae causes serious diseases including pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia despite being frequently exposed to human defense molecules including hBD3 during colonization and infection. Thus, the question arises how pneumococci adapt to stress caused by antimicrobial peptides. We addressed this subject by analyzing the proteome of S. pneumoniae after treatment with hBD3 and compared our data with the proteomic changes induced by LL-37, another crucial antimicrobial peptide present in the human respiratory tract. As antimicrobial peptides usually cause membrane perturbations, the response to the membrane active cationic detergent cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was examined to assess the specificity of the pneumococcal response to antimicrobial peptides. In brief, hBD3 and LL-37 induce a similar response in pneumococci especially in changes of proteins with annotated transporter and virulence function. However, LL-37 causes changes in abundance of cell surface modification proteins that cannot be observed after treatment with hBD3. Interestingly, CTAB induces unique proteomic changes in S. pneumoniae. Though, the detergent seems to activate a two-component system that is also activated in response to antimicrobial peptide stress (TCS 05). Overall, our publicly available data represent a novel resource on pneumococcal adaptation to specific cell surface stresses on a functional level. This knowledge can potentially be used to develop strategies to circumvent pneumococcal resistance to antimicrobial peptides.

Project description:Regulation of genes that initiate and amplify inflammatory programs of gene expression is achieved by signal-dependent exchange of co-regulator complexes that function to read, write and erase specific histone modifications linked to transcriptional activation or repression. Here, we provide evidence for an unexpected role of trimethylated histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me3) as a repression checkpoint that restricts expression of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) target genes in macrophages. H4K20me3 is deposited at the promoters of a subset of these genes by the SMYD5 histone methyltransferase through its association with NCoR co-repressor complexes. Signal-dependent erasure of H4K20me3 is required for effective gene activation and is achieved by NF-KB-dependent delivery of the histone demethylase PHF2. Liver X receptors antagonize TLR4-dependent gene activation by maintaining NCoR/SMYD5-mediated repression. These findings reveal a histone H4K20 tri-methylation/de-methylation strategy that integrates positive and negative signaling inputs that control immunity and homeostasis. mRNA profiling from thioglycollate-elicited mouse macrophages treated with siRNA for Control, Smyd5 and Phf2 for 48 hours followed by 4 hours of LPS treatment.

Project description:Building an integrated view of cellular responses to environmental cues remains a fundamental challenge due to the complexity of intracellular networks in mammalian cells. Here we introduce an integrative biochemical and genetic framework to dissect signal transduction events using multiple data types, and in particular, to unify signaling and transcriptional networks. Using the Toll-like receptor (TLR) system as a model cellular response, we generate comprehensive datasets of physical, enzymatic, and functional interactions, and integrate these data to reveal biochemical paths that connect TLR4 signaling to transcription. We define the roles of proximal TLR4 kinases, identify and functionally test two dozen candidate regulators, and demonstrate a role for Ap1ar (encoding the Gadkin protein) and its binding partner Picalm, potentially linking vesicle transport with pro-inflammatory responses. Our study thus demonstrates how deciphering dynamic cellular responses by integrating datasets on various regulatory layers defines key components and higher-order logic underlying signaling-to-transcription pathways.

Project description:The toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a central regulator of innate immune signaling that primarily recognizes bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) cell wall constituents to trigger cytokine secretion. We identify the intramembrane protease RHBDL4 as a negative regulator of TLR4 signaling. We show that RHBDL4-triggers the degradation of TLR4’s trafficking factor TMED7, a member of the p24 family of COPII adaptor proteins, which counteracts the transport of TLR4 to the cell surface. Besides TMED7, RHBDL4 cleaves a subset of related p24 cargo receptors, suggesting that this is a general protein abundance control mechanism to regulate the loading of specific secretory proteins into COPII vesicles. Notably, TLR4 activation by LPS mediates transcriptional upregulation of RHBDL4. Hence, TLR4 activation triggers an RHBDL4-dependent negative feedback loop to reduce the export of newly synthesized TLR4 molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum into COPII-coated vesicles. This secretory cargo tuning mechanism prevents the over-activation of TLR4-dependent signaling and consequently alleviates septic shock in a mouse model.
