Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR)

ABSTRACT: We are currently studying how these information-carrying oligosaccharides are involved in cellular stress responses, particularly in human genetic diseases called Congenital Disorders Of Glycosylation in which oligosaccharide assembly is defective. We are interested in endoplasmic stress responses/unfolded protein responses. ER glycans and ER lectins are intimately involved in the folding of ER proteins. Therefore, ER lectins and ER glycosyltransferases may be controlled by these stress responses, to produce and/or recognize key glycans in the stress response. Our model system is the human dermal fibroblast. We have successfully calibrated the ER stress responses in these cells by determining the magnitudes of various stress effects (such as chaperone transcription) with different forms of ER stress. We are also completing a study in which activation the signaling molecules Ire1 and ATF6 are also calibrated. We prepared multiple identical aliquots of RNA from cells stressed under several of these calibrated conditions.

The UPR response in these cells has been calibrated using various readouts in response to different stresses: 1) 40 nM L-azetidine-2-carboxylate (AZC) 1 hour, 2) 0.2 mg/ml castanospermine, 24 hours, 3) 2 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT), 20 minutes, 4) 100nm Thapsigargin (TG), 30 minutes, 5) 5 ug/ml tunicamycin, 5 hours, 6) untreated control cells

Two types of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and -negative (ER-) breast cancer will be compared with glycan structure analyses

Project description:ER+ve and ER-ve breast cancers tend to show different patterns of metastasis, with ER+ve tumours having a propensity to metastasize to the bone while ER-ve tumours tend to induce visceral metastasis. Glycans can play an important role in metastasis through their interactions with glycan binding proteins. Moreover we, and others have also shown that expression of particular tumor-associated glycoforms of the mucin MUC1, allows it to interact with lectins of the immune system. We now have data showing differences in the level of expression of some glycosyltransferases in ER+ve and ER-ve of breast cancer suggesting the expression of different O-linked glycoforms. RNA will be isolated from ER+ve and ER-ve primary breast cancers supplied by the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Research Breast Tissue Bank. Tumor tissue will be macro-dissected from thick cryostat sections by visual comparison with a representative H&E section. We will verify the level of expression of ER and document the expression of ST3Gal-I and ST6GalNAc-II by RT-qPCR. We have already isolated RNA from a number of tumours and shown we can obtain RNA of good quality with a RNA integrity number, as measured with an Agilent Bioanalyser, of >4.5 Since there is likely to be variability among primary tumors, ideally we analyzed of 10 ER negative and 9 ER positive tumours.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen for ER stress-UPR pathway

Project description:Perturbation of tissue homeostasis accompanies a diversity of inflammatory pathologies and imposes metabolic constraints at the cellular level that elicit ER stress, protein misfolding, and cell death. In response to ER stress, cells initiate the unfolded protein response (UPR), which determines divergent cell fate decisions, either promoting recovery of ER proteostasis and cell survival or triggering programmed cell death. However, the mechanisms by which the UPR transitions from the adaptive to terminal state are not fully understood. To discover novel UPR pathway regulators that influence the outcome of cellular ER stress responses, we performed genome-scale genetic perturbations. Our genome-wide screens revealed that distinct sets of genes regulate UPR activity and maintenance of ER homeostasis. This expansive dataset provides a rich resource that can be leveraged to elucidate signaling crosstalk during ER stress and discover novel UPR regulators.

Acute lung injury results from innate sensing of viruses by an ER stress pathway

Project description:Incursions of new pathogenic viruses into humans from animal reservoirs are occurring with alarming frequency. The molecular underpinnings of immune recognition, host responses, and pathogenesis in this setting arepoorly understood. We studied pandemic influenza viruses to determine the mechanism by which increasing glycosylation during evolution of surface proteins facilitates diminished pathogenicity in adapted viruses. ER stressduring infection with poorly glycosylated pandemic strains activated the unfolded protein response, leading to inflammation, acute lung injury, and mortality. Seasonal strains or viruses engineered to mimic adapted viruses displaying excess glycans on the hemagglutinin did not cause ER stress, allowing preservation of the lungs and survival. We propose that ER stress resultingfrom recognition of non-adapted viruses is utilized to discriminate “non-self” at the level of protein-processing and to activate immune responses, with unintended consequences on pathogenesis. Understanding this mechanism should improve strategies for treating acute lung injury from zoonotic viral infections. Lung transcription analysis of Influenza A virus infected mice.

Translocational attenuation regulated by PERK-SRP14 axis is a novel protective mechanism of UPR

Project description:Slowing down protein synthesis, increasing protein folding capability, and enhancing misfolded protein degradation are the main mechanisms of unfolded protein response (UPR) to lessen ER stress. It has also been shown that substrate-specific translocational attenuation may be another protective measure during ER stress. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism is still obscure. Through a multi-omics analysis, we found the protein SRP14, a subunit of SRP, was markedly decreased in ER-stressed cells. Given its critical function in the selective translocation of proteins, we investigated the mechanisms of SRP14 down-regulation and its role in ER stress. It was found that UPR, mainly the activation of PERK, induced SRP14 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, enforced expression of SRP14 in stressed cells augmented the substrate's translocation, aggravated ER stress, and reduced cell viability. Taken together, these results suggest the specific translocational attenuation regulated by the PERK-SRP14 axis is a protective measure to mitigate ER stress.

Up regulation of lactosamine containing glycans

Project description:Dr. Schwarting's research is focused on the analysis of developmentally regulated cell surface molecules and their role in axon guidance and neuronal migration, using the olfactory system as a model. The interaction of cell surface glycans with endogenous lectins in the extracellular matrix provides one mechanism by which axons can utilize specific pathways as they grow towards their targets. We have a mutant mouse (b3GNT2 KO) that up-regulates the expression of lactosamine containing glycans in a subset of olfactory neurons. Gene expression profiling was performed using control and mutant mice that up-regulate the expression of lactosamine containing glycans in a subset of olfactory neurons. Glycosyltransferase expression that differed between control and mutant mice were identified.
