Project description:Comparison of Tpl-2 small molecule inhibitor (SMI) versus MEK SMI activities in LPS-treated human monocytes will reveal a subset of genes that require Tpl-2 but are independent of MEK. Tpl-2 is a highly conserved (94% human versus mouse) serine-threonine kinase expressed in cells important to the inflammatory response, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B/T cells. The role of Tpl-2 in monocytes and macrophages has been especially well-studied. It has been shown in these cells that Tpl-2 is required for the expression of cytokines in response to Toll-like receptor ligands, including LPS. In resting cells, Tpl-2 forms a complex with p105 and ABIN-2. Upon stimulation, this complex dissociates. Dissociated p105 is processed to p50, which impacts transcription. Dissociated Tpl-2 phosphorylates MEK, which, in turn, phosphorylates ERK. ERK activates the transcription factor AP-1 and its downstream gene targets. An open question in the field is whether Tpl-2 acts solely through MEK to drive gene expression, or does Tpl-2 have any MEK-independent targets. Answering this question is important both for understanding basic Tpl-2 biology as well as its role in disease. Based on published data, Tpl-2 is important for inflammatory cytokine production, and in animal models where these cytokines contribute to disease (septic shock, IBD), blocking Tpl-2 ameliorates disease symptoms. We have a highly selective SMI of Tpl-2 that effectively blocks cytokine production in purified human monocytes. This SMI can block production of the same cytokines that a MEK inhibitor blocks, which is expected given that Tpl-2 lies upstream of MEK. However, the MEK SMI only partially inhibits certain cytokines, while the Tpl-2 SMI fully blocks them, suggesting there are additional factors downstream of Tpl-2 that are not MEK-dependent.

Project description:Plant Topless (TPL) and Topless-related (TPR) corepressors are important regulators of plant hormone and immunity signaling. We present here the transcriptome of tpr1 and tpr1 tpl tpr4 triple mutant lines (t3) during TNL-triggered immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana after infection with Pst avrRps4 (OD 0.005). Col-0 and eds1-2 were analysed as controls.

Project description:Tumor Progression Locus 2 (TPL-2) kinase mediates Toll-like Receptor (TLR) activation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAP kinases in myeloid cells to modulate expression of key cytokines in innate immunity. This study identified a novel MAP kinase-independent regulatory function for TPL-2 in phagosome maturation, an essential process for killing of phagocytosed microbes. TPL-2 catalytic activity was demonstrated to induce phagosome acidification and proteolysis in primary mouse and human macrophages following uptake of latex beads. Quantitative proteomics revealed that blocking TPL-2 catalytic activity significantly altered the protein composition of phagosomes, particularly reducing the abundance of V-ATPase proton pump subunits. Furthermore, TPL-2 stimulated the phosphorylation of DMXL1, a critical regulator of V-ATPases, to induce phagosome acidification. Consistent with these results, TPL-2 catalytic activity was required for phagosome maturation and the efficient killing of Staphylococcus aureus following phagocytic uptake by macrophages. These results indicate that TPL-2 controls the innate immune response of macrophages to bacteria via V-ATPase induction of phagosome maturation.

Project description:Tumor Progression Locus 2 (TPL-2) kinase mediates Toll-like Receptor (TLR) activation of ERK1/2 and p38-alpha MAP kinases in myeloid cells to modulate expression of key cytokines in innate immunity. This study identified a novel MAP kinase-independent regulatory function for TPL-2 in phagosome maturation, an essential process for killing of phagocytosed bacteria. TPL-2 catalytic activity was demonstrated to induce phagosome acidification and proteolysis in primary mouse and human macrophages following uptake of latex beads. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that blocking TPL-2 catalytic activity significantly altered the protein composition of phagosomes, particularly reducing the abundance of V-ATPase proton pump subunits. Furthermore, TPL-2 was shown to stimulate the phosphorylation of DMXL1, a critical regulator of V-ATPases, to induce phagosome acidification. Consistent with these results, TPL-2 catalytic activity was required for phagosome acidification, activation of phagosome acid-sensitive cathepsins and the efficient killing of Staphylococcus aureus following phagocytic uptake by macrophages. These results indicate that TPL-2 controls the innate immune response of macrophages to bacteria via MAP kinase regulation of gene expression and V-ATPase induction of phagosome maturation.

Project description:IL-4 drives expansion of Th2 cells that cause generation of alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs). Filarial infections are established early in life, induce increased IL-4 production are co-endemic with tuberculosis (TB). We sought to understand, therefore, how mycobacteria are handled in the context of IL-4-induced AAM. Comparing IL-4 generated in vitro monocyte derived human AAMs to LPS and IFN-γ generated classically macrophages (CAMs), both infected with mycobacteria (BCG), we demonstrated increased early BCG uptake and increased IL-10 production in AAMs compared to CAMs. We further demonstrated that increased IL-10 production is mediated by upregulation of tumor progression locus 2 (TPL-2), an upstream activator of extracellular signal related kinases (ERKs) in AAMs but not in CAMs, both at the transcript as well as the protein level. Pharmacologic inhibition of TPL-2 significantly diminished IL-10 production only in BCG-infected AAMs. Finally, we validated our findings in an in vivo C57Bl/6 model of filarial infection, where an exaggerated Th2 induced lung-specific alternative activation led to TPL-2 and IL-10 upregulation on subsequent TB infection. These data show that in response to mycobacterial infection, IL-4 generated AAMs in chronic filarial infections have impaired immune responses to TB infection by increasing IL-10 production in a TPL-2 mediated manner. Experimental rationale (microarray): To understand the effect of a pre-existing filiarial infection on the immune response of mice to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Analysis of Mtb infected murine macrophages derived from C57Bl/6 WT, TPL2KO, IFNARKO & TPL2IFNAR DKO mice [Set 1] Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, causing approximately 1.4 million deaths per year. Key immune components for host protection during tuberculosis include the cytokines IL?12, IL?1 and TNF??, as well as IFN?? and CD4+ Th1 cells. However, immune factors determining whether individuals control infection or progress to active tuberculosis are incompletely understood. Excess amounts of type I interferon have been linked to exacerbated disease during tuberculosis in mouse models and to active disease in patients, suggesting tight regulation of this family of cytokines is critical to host resistance. In addition, the immunosuppressive cytokine IL?10 is known to inhibit the immune response to Mtb in murine models through the negative regulation of key pro-inflammatory cytokines and the subsequent Th1 response. We show here, using a combination of transcriptomic analysis, genetics and pharmacological inhibitors that the TPL-2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway is important in mediating host resistance to tuberculosis through negative regulation of type I interferon production. The TPL-2-ERK1/2 signalling pathway regulated production by macrophages of several cytokines important in the immune response to Mtb as well as regulating induction of a large number of additional genes, many in a type I IFN dependent manner. In the absence of TPL-2 in vivo, excess type I interferon promoted IL-10 production and exacerbated disease. These findings describe an important regulatory mechanism for controlling tuberculosis and reveal mechanisms by which type I interferon may promote susceptibility to this important disease. Macrophages were derived from C57Bl/6 bone marrow, plated and infected with Mtb H37Rv (or not) in duplicate wells. Samples were then harvested for RNA at time 0 (uninfected only), 15m, 30m, 1hr, 3hr, 6hr and 24hr.
