Pcyox1l controls neutrophil maturation and functionality

ABSTRACT: Little is known about how commensal colonization controls neutrophil differentiation and functions. Using system immunology approaches we discovered commensal and infection induced changes in neutrophil proteomes. The identified differentially expressed genes were CRISPRed out in immortalized neutrophil progenitor cell lines transduced with lenti-guides. Analysis of maturation and bactericidal capacity of the generated CRISPRed clones ascribed a function to a currently unknown protein-termed Prenylcysteine oxidase 1 like (Pcyox1l). Pcyox1l deficient neutrophils show dramatic defects in longevity, autophagy, and bactericidal functions associated with reductions in SerpinB1a transcripts and protein. Metabolic labeling experiments revealed that Pcyox1l controls levels of protein prenylation, highlighting its key enzymatic function. The Pcyox1l deficiency phenotype is phenocopied by SerpinB1a deficiency in neutrophils signifying linked mechanisms. Commensal colonization increases Pcyox1l and SerpinB1a levels in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in specific pathogen free (SPF) mice when compared to germ free (GF) mice and, conversely, Pcyox1l KO mice demonstrated altered commensal microbiome and elevated susceptibility to bacterial infection. Cumulatively, our data highlight a novel metabolic pathway which is controlled by commensal colonization and governs neutrophil functionality, longevity, and bactericidal properties. In lieu with the impairment of neutrophil bactericidal functions, Pcyox1l KO mice showed elevated susceptibility to infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Background Coral reefs belong to the most ecologically and economically important ecosystems on our planet. Yet, they are under steady decline worldwide due to rising sea surface temperatures, disease, and pollution. Understanding the molecular impact of these stressors on different coral species is imperative in order to predict how coral populations will respond to this continued disturbance. The use of molecular tools such as microarrays has provided deep insight into the molecular stress response of corals. Here, we have performed comparative genomic hybridizations (CGH) with different coral species to an Acropora palmata microarray platform containing 13,546 cDNA clones in order to identify potentially rapidly evolving genes and to determine the suitability of existing microarray platforms for use in gene expression studies (via heterologous hybridization). Results Our results showed that the current microarray platform for A. palmata is able to provide biological relevant information for a wide variety of coral species covering both the complex clade as well the robust clade. Analysis of the fraction of highly diverged genes showed a significantly higher amount of genes without annotation corroborating previous findings that point towards a higher rate of divergence for taxonomically restricted genes. Among the genes with annotation, we found many mitochondrial genes to be highly diverged in M. faveolata when compared to A. palmata, while the majority of nuclear encoded genes maintained an average divergence rate. Conclusions The use of present microarray platforms for transcriptional analyses in different coral species will greatly enhance the understanding of the molecular basis of stress and health and highlight evolutionary differences between scleractinian coral species. On a genomic basis, we show that cDNA arrays can be used to identify patterns of divergence. Mitochondrion-encoded genes seem to have diverged faster than nuclear encoded genes in robust corals. Accordingly, this needs to be taken into account when using mitochondrial markers for scleractinian phylogenies. Microarray experiments were performed as follows. Appropriate Cy3 and Cy5 labeled DNAs were mixed together in a hybridization buffer containing 0.25% SDS, 25 mM HEPES and 3 × SSC, resulting in a final volume of 70?l. The hybridization mixtures were boiled for 2 min at 99°C and allowed to cool at room temperature for 5 min. The cooled hybridization mixtures were pipetted under an mSeries Lifterslip (Erie Scientific), and hybridization took place in Corning hybridization chambers overnight at 55°C. Microarrays were washed once in 2 × SSC, 0.03% SDS heated to 55 °C for 5 min. followed by one wash in 1 x SSC and another wash in 0.2 x SSC for 5 min each. The slides were kept in 0.2 × SSC until analysis. Slides were dried via centrifugation and scanned using an Axon 4000B scanner. The experimental setup followed a reference design, i.e., all samples were hybridized against the same pool of labeled A. palmata DNA. For each species, a total of four hybridizations were performed, including two dye swap hybridizations in order to account for potential dye bias i.e. two hybridizations with Cy3 labeled M. faveolata DNA against a Cy5 labeled A. palmata reference and two hybridizations with Cy5 labeled M. faveolata DNA against a Cy3 labeled Cy3 A. palmata reference were performed. The same hybridization scheme was used for A. cervicornis and S. radians.
