Project description:Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a key contributor to the life threatening sequalae attributed to sepsis. Mechanistically, SA-AKI is a consequence of unabated myeloid cell activation and oxidative stress that induces tubular injury. Iron mediates inflammatory pathways directly and through regulating the expression of myeloid-derived ferritin, an iron storage protein comprised of ferritin light (FtL) and ferritin heavy chain (FtH) subunits. Previous work revealed myeloid FtH deletion leads to a compensatory increase in intracellular and circulating FtL and is associated with amelioration of SA-AKI. We designed this study to test the hypothesis that loss of myeloid FtL and subsequently, circulating FtL will exacerbate the sepsis-induced inflammatory response and worsen SA-AKI. We generated a novel myeloid-specific FtL knockout mouse (FtLLysM-/-) and induced sepsis via cecal ligation and puncture or lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia. As expected, serum ferritin levels were significantly lower in the knockout mice, suggesting that myeloid cells dominantly contribute to circulating ferritin. Interestingly, while sepsis induction led to a marked production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, there was no statistical difference between the genotypes. There was a similar loss of kidney function, as evident by a rise in serum creatinine and cystatin C, and renal injury identified by expression of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin. Finally, RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of pathways for cell cycle arrest and autophagy post-sepsis, but no significant differences were observed between genotypes, including in key genes associated with ferroptosis, an iron-mediated form of cell death. The loss of FtL did not impact sepsis-mediated activation of NFkB or HIF-1a signaling, key inflammatory pathways associated with dysregulated host response. Taken together, while FtL overexpression was shown to be protective against sepsis, loss of FtL did not influence sepsis pathogenesis.

Project description:Despite the prevalence and recognition of its detrimental impact, clinical complications of sepsis remain a major challenge. Here, we investigated the effects of myeloid ferritin heavy chain (FtH) in regulating the pathogenic sequelae of sepsis. We demonstrate that deletion of myeloid FtH leads to tolerance towards sepsis as evidenced by reduced serum cytokine levels, multi-organ dysfunction and subsequent mortality. We identified that such tolerance is predominantly mediated by the compensatory increase in circulating ferritin (ferritin light chain; FtL) in the absence of myeloid FtH. Our in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that prior exposure to ferritin provides significant tolerance to the septic process by restraining an otherwise dysregulated response to infection. These findings are mediated by an inhibitory action of ferritin on NF-κB activation and its downstream effects. Taken together, our findings suggest an essential immunomodulatory function for circulating ferritin and enhances our understanding of this acute phase reactant.

Project description:The developmental functions of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) 10 have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis, but SPL10's role in regulating leaf curvature has not been well characterized. In this study, we observed an upward-curling leaf phenotype upon overexpression of a miR156/157-resistant version of SPL10 (rSPL10). DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq), RNA-seq, and transient transactivation assays revealed that SPL10 binds to the promoter of REVOLUTA (REV). Consistent with binding assays, overexpression of a miR165/166-resistant version of REV (rREV) in WT plants caused an upward-curling leaf phenotype. Conversely, overexpression of rSPL10 in a rev-6 mutant couldn't rescue the downward-curling leaf phenotype of rev-6. Notably, SPL10 physically interacts with REV, attenuating the upward-curling leaf phenotype of rREV mutants, suggesting a role as a molecular rheostat to prevent overamplification of REV transcripts. Furthermore, overexpression of the BrpREV-1 gene caused rosette leaves to change from flat to upward curving and accelerated heading in Chinese cabbage. Taken together, our findings identify the role of the SPL10-REV module in regulating leaf curvature in Arabidopsis and the crucial functions of BrpREV-1 in the heading of Chinese cabbage.

Project description:Podocyte detachment due to mechanical stress is a common issue in hypertension-induced kidney disease. The present study investigated the role of zyxin in mechanically stretched podocytes, a model for glomerular hypertension. Conditionally immortalized differentiated podocytes were seeded on flexible silicon membranes of a six well plate, which was mounted on a manifold connected to a custom-built stretch apparatus (NIPOKA GmbH, Greifswald, Germany), which induced cyclic pressure variations resulting in upward and downward motion of the silicone membranes. We found that zyxin is essential for the adhesion of the postmitotic cell type, the podocytes, in vitro during mechanical stretch as well as in vivo for the maintenance of the kidney filtration.

Project description:Plant shoots typically grow upward in opposition to the pull of gravity. However, exceptions exist throughout the plant kingdom. Most conspicuous are trees with weeping or pendulous branches. While such trees have long been cultivated and appreciated for their ornamental value, the molecular basis behind the weeping habit is not known. Here, we characterized a weeping tree phenotype in Prunus persica (peach) and identified the underlying genetic mutation using a genomic sequencing approach. Weeping peach tree shoots exhibited a downward elliptical growth pattern and did not exhibit an upward bending in response to 90° reorientation. The causative allele was found to be an uncharacterized gene, Ppa013325, having a 1.8-Kb deletion spanning the 5′ end. This gene, dubbed WEEP, was predominantly expressed in phloem tissues and encodes a highly conserved 129-amino acid protein containing a sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain. Silencing WEEP in the related tree species Prunus domestica (plum) resulted in more outward, downward, and wandering shoot orientations compared to standard trees, supporting a role for WEEP in directing lateral shoot growth in trees. This previously unknown regulator of branch orientation, which may also be a regulator of gravity per- ception or response, provides insights into our understanding of how tree branches grow in opposition to gravity and could serve as a critical target for manipulating tree architecture for improved tree shape in agricultural and horticulture applications.

Project description:Using the parameterized susceptible‐exposed‐infectious‐recovered model, we simulated the spread dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) outbreak and impact of different control measures, conducted the sensitivity analysis to identify the key factor, plotted the trend curve of effective reproductive number (R), and performed data fitting after the simulation. By simulation and data fitting, the model showed the peak existing confirmed cases of 59 769 arriving on 15 February 2020, with the coefficient of determination close to 1 and the fitting bias 3.02%, suggesting high precision of the datafitting results. More rigorous government control policies were associated with a slower increase in the infected population. Isolation and protective procedures would be less effective as more cases accrue, so the optimization of the treatment plan and the development of specific drugs would be of more importance. There was an upward trend of R in the beginning, followed by a downward trend, a temporary rebound, and another continuous decline. The feature of high infectiousness for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS‐CoV‐2) led to an upward trend, and government measures contributed to the temporary rebound and declines. The declines of R could be exploited as strong evidence for the effectiveness of the interventions. Evidence from the fourphase stringent measures showed that it was significant to ensure early detection, early isolation, early treatment, adequate medical supplies, patients’ being admitted to designated hospitals, and comprehensive therapeutic strategy. Collaborative efforts are required to combat the novel coronavirus, focusing on both persistent strict domestic interventions and vigilance against exogenous imported cases.

Project description:We performed label-free micro-data-independent acquisition (µDIA) to assay brain proteins from a severe model of Alexander disease (AxD, lethal at postnatal day ~35). Of the 5,005 proteins quantified, we observed upregulation of adipocytokine signaling, PPAR, insulin resistance, and glutathione pathways with concomitant downregulation of platelet activation, ether lipid synthesis, and steroid biosynthesis pathways. To validate these DIA results, we setup a targeted parallel reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry assay (PRM-MS) for selected proteins with altered relative concentrations. The PRM-MS assays confirmed the upward or downward relative concentration differences in 16/16 (100%) of the proteins targeted, with 15/16 (94%) of these proteins reaching statistical significance (P-value < 0.05).

Project description:<p>SARS-CoV-2 infection causes severe pulmonary manifestations, with poorly understood mechanisms and limited treatment options. Hyperferritinemia and disrupted lung iron homeostasis in COVID-19 patients imply that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, may occur. Immunostaining and lipidomic analysis in COVID-19 lung autopsies reveal increases in ferroptosis markers, including transferrin receptor 1 and malondialdehyde accumulation in fatal cases. COVID-19 lungs display dysregulation of lipids involved in metabolism and ferroptosis. We find increased ferritin light chain associated with severe COVID-19 lung pathology. Iron overload promotes ferroptosis in both primary cells and cancerous lung epithelial cells. In addition, ferroptosis markers strongly correlate with lung injury severity in a COVID-19 lung disease model using male Syrian hamsters. These results reveal a role for ferroptosis in COVID-19 pulmonary disease; pharmacological ferroptosis inhibition may serve as an adjuvant therapy to prevent lung damage during SARS-CoV-2 infection.</p>

Project description:Our data demonstrates enrichment of the GO term extracellular region among the decreased lung transcripts of JF1 throughout the process of lung development and maturation in consistent to the altered elastin to collagen ratio. Our microarray data showed increased ~4 fold increased elastin transcripts in JF1 lungs at P70. Specific CL‐saline/air ratio in JF1 mice compared to C3H (JF1-male: 2.68±01.10 versus C3H-male: 2.15±0.42, p<0.05; JF1-female: 3.22±0.88 versus C3H-female: 2.27±0.23, p<0.05) suggests that surface tension contributes more than the elastic recoiling properties of lung in determining the lung compliance as assessed by air filling. This observation is consistent with the smaller alveolar size of JF1 mice. The lower ratio (specific compliance) of CLAir/TLC and CLSaline/TLC in JF1 indicates that elastic recoil due to tissue properties is higher in JF1 compared to C3H. Therefore, the two phenomenon results in a less compliant lung due to higher surface tension in the alveoli and higher elastic recoil due to tissue properties in JF1 compared to C3H. Therefore, the lung architecture, lung function and molecular data of the two strains are in agreement with each other.
