Project description:We have developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) C7 that reacts with Als3p and enolase present in Candida albicans cell wall and exerts three anti-Candida activities: candidacidal activity and inhibition of both adhesion and filamentation. To investigate the mode of action of mAb C7 on fungal viability, we examined changes in the genome-wide gene expression profile of C. albicans grown in presence of a subinhibitory concentration of mAb C7 (12.5 µg/ml) by using microarrays. A total of 49 genes were found to be differentially expressed upon treatment with mAb C7. Of these, 28 were found to be up-regulated and 21 down-regulated. The categories of up-regulated genes with the largest number of variations were those involved in iron uptake or related to iron homeostasis (42.86%), while the energy-related group accounted for 38.10% of the down-regulated genes (8/21). Results were validated by real Time PCR. Since these effects resembled those found under iron-limited conditions, the activity of mAb C7 on C. albicans mutants with deletions in key genes implicated in the three iron acquisition systems described in this yeast was also assessed. Only mutants lacking TPK1 and TPK2 genes were less sensitive to the candidacidal effect of mAb C7. FeCl3 or hemin at concentrations ≥ 7.8µM reversed the candidacidal effect of mAb C7 on C. albicans, on a concentration dependent manner. The results presented in this study provide evidence that the candidacidal effect of mAb C7 is related to the blockage of the reductive iron uptake pathway of C. albicans. A saturated culture of C. albicans grown overnight was diluted to an optical density at 600 nm of approximately 0.1 and divided in two aliquots. One of them was used untreated as control and the second one was treated with a subinhibitory concentration (12.5 µg/ml) of monoclonal antibody C7 . Both cultures were incubated for 18 h at 37ºC before harvesting cells. Antibody added and control samples were obtained each time. The experiment was repeated once. Dye-swap technique was used for hybridization and four arrays were analyzed to compare the expresion of over six thousands genes in response to antibody C7.

Project description:Kallenberger2014 - CD95L induced apoptosis initiated by caspase-8, CD95 HeLa cells (cis/trans variant) The paper describes a new approach that combines single cell and population data in the same model. The model consists of a large number of single cell models, which are fitted to single cell data. Simultaneously, ensemble averages are fitted to population data. It is assumed that the kinetics in each cell can be described with the same kinetic parameters. Therefore, cell-to-cell variability is explained by variable initial protein concentrations. There are four variants of the model (with [CD95L]=500ng/ml = 16.6nM), i) cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050000 ], ii) cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050001 ], iii) cistrans-cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050002 ], and iv) cistrans-cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050003 ]. These model contain the equations for one "average cell" with median initial concentrations for CD95, FADD, p55, BID, PrNES_mCherry and PrER_mGFP. By integrating the model, it should be possible to obtain trajectories for PrER_mGFP, PrNES_mCherry, p43 and p18 similar as in Figure 4A (CD95-HeLa cells) and Figure 4B (wild-type HeLa cells).

Kallenberger, Joël Beaudouin, Juliane Claus, Carmen Fischer, Peter K. Sorger, Stefan Legewie, and Roland Eils 11 March 2014: Vol. 7, Issue 316, p. ra23 Abstract: Apoptosis in response to the ligand CD95L (also known as Fas ligand) is initiated by caspase-8, which is activated by dimerization and self-cleavage at death-inducing signaling complexes (DISCs). Previous work indicated that the degree of substrate cleavage by caspase-8 determines whether a cell dies or survives in response to a death stimulus. To determine how a death ligand stimulus is effectively translated into caspase-8 activity, we assessed this activity over time in single cells with compartmentalized probes that are cleaved by caspase-8 and used multiscale modeling to simultaneously describe single-cell and population data with an ensemble of single-cell models. We derived and experimentally validated a minimal model in which cleavage of caspase-8 in the enzymatic domain occurs in an interdimeric manner through interaction between DISCs, whereas prodomain cleavage sites are cleaved in an intradimeric manner within DISCs. Modeling indicated that sustained membrane-bound caspase-8 activity is followed by transient cytosolic activity, which can be interpreted as a molecular timer mechanism reflected by a limited lifetime of active caspase-8. The activation of caspase-8 by combined intra- and interdimeric cleavage ensures weak signaling at low concentrations of CD95L and strongly accelerated activation at higher ligand concentrations, thereby contributing to precise control of apoptosis.
