A regulatory loop involving the cytochrome P450-soluble epoxide hydrolase axis and TGF-b signaling

ABSTRACT: Fatty acid metabolites generated by the sequential actions of cytochrome P450 enzymes and the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) regulate inflammation. Here we report that the TGF--induced polarization of macrophages to a pro-resolving phenotype requires the activation of Alk5 and Smad2 to increase sEH expression and activity. Macrophages lacking sEH failed to fully repolarize, were less efficient at phagocytosis, and retained a pro-inflammatory gene expression profile. 11,12-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) was one of the fatty acid metabolites altered in sEH-/- macrophages and was able to reproduce the effect of sEH deletion on gene expression. Importantly, 11,12-EET also attenuated the expression of Alk5 to inhibit the TGF--induced phosphorylation of Smad2 by eliciting the cytosolic translocation of the E3 ligase Smurf2. These results indicate that the expression of sEH is not only controlled by TGF- but that the activity of the enzyme, which keeps 11,12-EET levels low, actually promotes TGF- signaling by preventing the proteolytic degradation of Alk5. Thus, an autocrine loop between the sEH/11,12-EET and TGF-1 determines macrophage function.

GSDMD-mediated metabolic crosstalk licenses a pro-regenerative niche for tissue repair

Project description:The establishment of an early pro-regenerative niche is crucial for tissue regeneration. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent pyroptosis accounts for the release of inflammatory cytokines upon various insults. However, little is known about its role in tissue regeneration followed by homeostatic maintenance. Here, we show that macrophage GSDMD deficiency delayed tissue recovery, with little impact on the local inflammatory milieu or the lytic pyroptosis process. Metabolite secretome profiling of hyperactivated macrophages unveiled the non-canonical metabolite-secreting function of GSDMD. And we further identified 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12-EET) as a bioactive pro-healing oxylipin, secreted from hyperactive macrophages in a GSDMD-dependent manner. Indeed, accumulation of 11,12-EET by direct supplementation or deletion of its hydrolytic enzyme Ephx2 accelerated muscle regeneration. We further demonstrated that the Ephx2 level accumulated within aged muscle, which led to a decreased intramuscular 11,12-EET level. And consecutive 11,12-EET treatment rejuvenated aged muscle. Mechanistically, 11,12-EET amplifies fibroblast growth factor/FGF receptor (FGF-FGFR) signaling by modulating FGF liquid-liquid phase separation, hence boosting the activation and proliferation of muscle stem cells (MuSCs). These data depict a GSDMD-guided metabolite crosstalk between macrophages and MuSCs that governs the repair process, which offers new therapeutic insights for the regeneration of injured or aged tissues.

Zebrafish whole embryos at 36 hpf treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET

Project description:In our previous study, we found zebrafish embryos treated with 5uM 11,12-EET (epoxyeicosatrienoic acid) had increased stem cell marker, runx1, expression in the AGM. EET also induced ectopic runx1 expression in the tail. To systematically study how EET regulates gene expression, we performed microarray analysis on EET-treated embryos. Zebrafish whole embryos were synchronized at fertilization. Embryos were grown at 28 degree overnight. 25 embryos per group were treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET starting from 24 hpf (hour post fertilization) until 36 hpf at 28 degree. The triplicates were from three different clutches of embryos, and split into DMSO v.s. EET for each clutch. EET vs. DMSO

Time-resolved Phosphoproteomic Analysis Elucidates Hepatic 11,12-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid Signaling Pathways

Project description:Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are potent lipid mediators with well-established effects in vascular tissues. Recent studies indicated an emerging role of these eicosanoids in metabolic diseases and the EET signaling pathway was shown to be involved in hepatic insulin sensitivity. However, compared to vascular tissues, there is only limited knowledge about the underlying signaling pathways in the liver. Therefore, we employed an LC-MS/MS-based time-resolved phosphoproteomics approach to characterize 11,12-EET-mediated signaling events in the liver cell line Hepa 1-6. 11,12-EET treatment resulted in the time-dependent regulation of phosphopeptides involved in processes as yet unknown to be affected by EETs, including RNA processing, splicing and translation regulation. Pathway analysis combined with western blot-based validation revealed enhanced AKT/mTOR/p70S6K signaling as demonstrated by increased acute phosphorylation of AKT (Ser473) and p70S6K (Thr389). In addition, 11,12-EET treatment led to differential regulation of phosphopeptides including important mediators of the DNA damage response and we observed a prolonged induction of the etoposide-induced DNA damage marker γH2AX in response to 11,12-EET. In summary, our findings extend current knowledge of 11,12-EET signaling events and emphasize the importance of the AKT/mTOR/p70S6K pathway in hepatic 11,12-EET signaling. Based on the results presented in this study, we furthermore propose a novel role of EET signaling in the regulation of the DNA damage response.

An epoxide hydrolase inhibitor reduces neuroinflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Neuroinflammation has been increasingly recognized to play a critical role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The epoxy fatty acids (EpFAs) are derivatives of the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway and have anti-inflammatory activities. However, their efficacy is limited due to their rapid hydrolysis by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). We report that sEH is predominantly expressed in astrocytes and its concentrations are elevated in postmortem brain tissue from AD patients and in the 5xFAD -amyloid mouse model of AD. The amount of sEH expressed in AD mouse brains correlated with a reduction in brain EpFA concentrations. Using a specific small molecule sEH inhibitor, 1-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl) urea (TPPU), we report that TPPU treatment protected AD mice against LPS-induced inflammation in vivo. Long-term administration of TPPU to the 5xFAD mouse model via drinking water reversed microglia and astrocyte reactivity and immune pathway dysregulation. This was associated with reduced β-amyloid pathology and improved synaptic integrity and cognitive function on two behavioral tests. Importantly, TPPU treatment correlated with an increase in EpFA concentrations in the brains of 5xFAD mice, demonstrating brain penetration and target engagement. These findings support further investigation of TPPU as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of AD.

Differential effects of Smad2 and Smad3 in regulation of macrophage phenotype and function in the infarcted myocardium

Project description:TGF-βs regulate macrophage responses, by activating Smad2/3. We have previously demonstrated that macrophage-specific Smad3 stimulates phagocytosis and mediates anti-inflammatory macrophage transition in the infarcted heart. However, the role of macrophage Smad2 signaling in myocardial infarction remains unknown. We studied the role of macrophage-specific Smad2 signaling in the healing infarct, and we explored the basis for the distinct effects of Smad2 and Smad3. Infarct macrophages exhibited both Smad2 and Smad3 activation. In contrast to the effects of Smad3 loss, myeloid cell-specific Smad2 disruption had no effects on mortality, ventricular dysfunction and adverse remodeling, after myocardial infarction. Phagocytic removal of dead cells, macrophage and myofibroblast infiltration, collagen deposition, angiogenesis and scar remodeling were not affected by macrophage Smad2 loss. In isolated macrophages, TGF-β1, -β2 and -β3, activated both Smad2 and Smad3, whereas BMP6 triggered only Smad3 activation. Smad2 and Smad3 had similar patterns of nuclear translocation in response to TGF-β1. Smad3, and not Smad2, was the main mediator of transcriptional effects of TGF-β on macrophages and Smad3 loss resulted in enrichment of genes associated with RAR/RXR signaling, cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, the in vivo and in vitro effects of TGF-β on macrophage function involve Smad3, and not Smad2.

Specific Oxylipins Enhance Vertebrate Hematopoiesis via the Receptor GPR132

Project description:Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are endogenous lipid signaling molecules with cardioprotective and vasodilatory actions. We recently showed that exogenous addition of 11,12-EET enhances hematopoietic induction and engraftment in mice and zebrafish. EETs are known to signal via a G-protein coupled receptor(s), but no specific EET receptor has been identified. Identification of an EET receptor would enable genetic interrogation of the EET signaling pathway and perhaps clinical use of this molecule. We developed a bioinformatic approach to identify the EET receptor based on the expression of GPCRs in cell lines with differential responses to EETs. We found 10 candidate EET receptors that are commonly expressed in three EET-responsive human cell lines, but not expressed in an EET-unresponsive line. Of these candidates, only GPR132 showed EET-responsiveness in vitro using a luminescence-based assay for β-arrestin recruitment. Knockdown of zebrafish gpr132b prevented EET-induced hematopoiesis, and marrow from GPR132 knockout mice showed decreased long-term engraftment capability. GPR132 has affinity for certain fatty acids in vitro, and we found that these same fatty acids enhance hematopoietic stem cell specification in the zebrafish. We conducted structure-activity relationship analyses using both in vitro and in vivo assays on diverse medium chain fatty acids. Certain oxygenated, unsaturated free fatty acids showed high activation of GPR132, while unoxygenated or saturated fatty acids had lower activity. Absence of the carboxylic acid moiety prevented activity, suggesting that this moiety is required for receptor activation. GPR132 responds to a select panel of polyunsaturated, oxygenated fatty acids to enhance both embryonic and adult hematopoiesis.

The phosphorylation of the Smad2/3 linker region by Nemo-like kinase regulates TGF-β signaling

Project description:Smad2 and Smad3 (Smad2/3) primarily mediates the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling that drives cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The dynamics of the Smad2/3 phosphorylation provides the key mechanism for regulating the TGF-β signaling pathway. Here we identified NLK as a novel regulator of TGF-β signaling pathway via modulating the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 in the linker region.

Gene expression profiling of the tongue bud from Alk5 mutant mouse models

Project description:The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in tissue-tissue interactions between myogenic precursors of craniofacial muscles and cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs). Here, we conducted gene expression profiling of the tongue bud from mice at embryonic day E13.5 with a CNCC-specific conditional inactivation of the TGF-beta receptor type 1 gene Alk5. These mice provide a model of microglossia as well as disrupted extraocular and masticatory muscle development, which are congenital birth defects commonly observed in several syndromic conditions. To investigate the adverse effects of dysfunctional TGF-beta signaling on tissue-tissue interactions between CNCCs and myogenic precursors of craniofacial muscles, we analyzed tongue bud tissue of mice with a CNCC-specific conditional inactivation of Alk5 (Wnt1-Cre; Alk5 fl/fl). We performed microarray analyses of the tongue bud of Alk5 fl/fl control mice and Wnt1-Cre; Alk5 fl/fl mutant mice, collected at embryonic day E13.5 (n=4 per group).
