Project description:Oral transmission of T. cruzi is probably the most frequent mechanism among animals in the wild. In this context, there is a high prevalence of human infections in regions where triatomine infection with T. cruzi is low. This led to the hypothesis that the consumption of raw or undercooked meat from animals infected with T. cruzi could be responsible for the transmission of the infection. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to demonstrate the role of meat consumption from infected animals in the oral transmission of T. cruzi infection. Groups of five female mice Balb/c were fed with muscles obtained from mice in the acute phase of infection by the clone H510 C8C3hvir of T. cruzi, and the infection of the fed mice was monitored by a parasitemia curve. Similarly, we assessed the infective capacity of T. cruzi trypomastigotes and amastigotes by infecting groups of five mice Balb/c females, which were infected orally using a nasogastric probe, and the infection was monitored by parasitemia curve. Finally, different trypomastigote and amastigote inoculums were used to determine their infective capacity. Adhesion assays of T. cruzi proteins to AGS stomach cells were performed and the adhered proteins were detected by western blotting using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. In all cases, 60–100% of animals were fed meat from mice infected in the acute phase or infected by means of a nasogastric probe with trypomastigotes or amastigotes. These animals developed high parasitemia, and 80% died around day 40 post-infection. The adhesion tests showed that cruzipain is a molecule of trypomastigotes and amastigotes that binds to AGS cells. LC-MS/MS also confirmed that transialidase may be involved in TCT attachment of TCT or invasion of stomach cells. It was concluded that the consumption of meat from infected animals in the acute phase of T. cruzi infection allows transmission of the infection. Similarly, trypomastigotes and amastigotes were able to infect mice when administered orally, while cruzipain was a relevant molecule in this infective process.

Project description:Calpains are a class of non-lysosomal cysteine proteases that exert their regulatory functions via limited proteolysis of their substrates. Similar to the lysosomal and proteasomal systems, calpain dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Despite intensive efforts placed on the identification of mechanisms that regulate calpains, however, global regulators of calpains activity have remained elusive. Here we show that calpains are regulated by KCTD7, a cytosolic protein of previously uncharacterized function whose pathogenic mutations result in epilepsy, progressive ataxia, and severe neurocognitive deterioration. We show that KCTD7 works in complex with Cullin-3 and Rbx1 to execute atypical, non-degradative ubiquitination of calpains at specific sites (K398 of calpain 1, and K280 and K674 of calpain 2). Experiments based on single-lysine mutants of ubiquitin determined that KCTD7 mediates ubiquitination of calpain 1 via K6-, K27-, K29-, and K63-linked chains, whereas it uses K6- mediated ubiquitination to modify calpain 2. Loss of KCTD7-mediated ubiquitination of calpains led to calpain hyperactivation, aberrant cleavage of downstream targets, and caspase-3 activation. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of Kctd7 in mice phenotypically recapitulated human KCTD7 deficiency and resulted in calpain hyperactivation, behavioral impairments, and neurodegeneration. These phenotypes were largely prevented by pharmacological inhibition of calpains, thus demonstrating a major role of calpain dysregulation in KCTD7-associated disease. Finally, we determined that Cullin-3–KCTD7 mediates ubiquitination of all ubiquitous calpains. These results unveil a global mechanism and potential target to restrain calpain activity in human disease and shed light on the molecular pathogenesis of KCTD7-associated disease.

Project description:Human betacoronaviruses encode an Internal (I) protein via an alternative reading frame within the nucleocapsid (N) gene, namely ORF8b for Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and ORF9b for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2. Previous reports suggested that ORF8b and ORF9b are involved in evading innate immune responses, but their roles in mediating pathogenesis in infected animals has not been determined. In this study, we abrogated the expression of ORF8b in MERS-CoV (rMERS-Δ8b) and ORF9b in SARS-CoV-2 (rSARS2-Δ9b) and found that rMERS-Δ8b was more virulent while rSARS2-Δ9b was attenuated compared to their respective wild-type (WT) viruses in mice. Upon further analysis, we detected high levels of IFN-I expression and enhanced infiltration of immune cells to the lungs of rMERS-Δ8b-infected mice. In addition, mutations identified in previously circulating SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) that were proposed to enhance ORF9b expression did not lead to significant changes in virulence. These data suggest the disparate and virus-specific functions of ORF8b and ORF9b which potentially explain the different changes in virulence.

Project description:Thousands of human genes contain introns ending in NAGNAG motifs (N any nucleotide), where both NAGs can function as 3' splice sites, yielding isoforms differing by inclusion/exclusion of just three bases. However, the functional importance of NAGNAG alternative splicing is highly controversial. Using very deep RNA-Seq data from sixteen human and eight mouse tissues, we found that approximately half of alternatively spliced NAGNAGs undergo tissue-specific regulation and that regulated events have been selectively retained: alternative splicing of strongly tissue-specific NAGNAGs was ten times as likely to be conserved between species as for non-tissue-specific events. Further, alternative splicing of human NAGNAGs was associated with an order of magnitude increase in the frequency of exon length changes at orthologous mouse/rat exon boundaries, suggesting that NAGNAGs accelerate exon evolution. Together, our analyses show that NAGNAG alternative splicing constitutes a major generator of tissue-specific proteome diversity and accelerates evolution of proteins at exon-exon boundaries. mRNA-Seq of sixteen human and eight mouse tissues. Supplementary files: human.nagnag.junctions.gff and mouse.nagnag.junctions.gff are the annotation files (in GFF3 format) corresponding to the 'bwtout' mapped reads files linked to the Sample records.

Project description:LKB1 is among the most frequently altered tumor suppressors in lung adenocarcinoma. Inactivation of Lkb1 accelerates the growth and progression of oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors in mouse models. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LKB1 constrains lung tumorigenesis and whether the aggressive cancer state that stems from Lkb1 deficiency can be reverted remains unknown. To identify the processes governed by LKB1 in vivo, we generated an allele which enables Lkb1 inactivation during tumor development and subsequent Lkb1 restoration in established tumors. Restoration of Lkb1 in oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumors suppressed proliferation and promoted tumor stasis. Lkb1 restoration activated targets of C/EBP transcription factors and drove the transition of neoplastic cells from a progenitor-like state to a less proliferative alveolar type II cell-like state. We show that C/EBP transcription factors govern a subset of genes that are induced by LKB1 and depend upon NKX2-1. We also demonstrate that a defining factor of the alveolar type II lineage, C/EBPα, constrains oncogenic KRAS-driven lung tumor growth. Thus, we uncover a role for a critical tumor suppressor in the regulation of key lineage-specific transcription factors, thereby constraining lung tumor development through the enforcement of differentiation.

Project description:Cognitive dysfunction (CD) in heart failure (HF) adversely affects treatment compliance and quality of life. Although, ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) has been linked to cardiac muscle dysfunction, its role in CD remains unclear. Here, we show in hippocampal neurons from patients and mice with HF that the ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2)/intracellular Ca 2+ release channels were post-translationally modified (PTM) and leaky. RyR2 PTM was caused by hyper-adrenergic stress and activation of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) pathway. HF mice treated with either a RyR2 stabilizer drug (S107), beta-blocker (propranolol) or TGF-β inhibitor (SD-208), or mice insensitive RyR2 Ca 2+ leak (RyR2-S2808A), were protected against HF-induced CD. Taken together, we propose that HF is a systemic illness that include cardiogenic dementia, and intracellular Ca 2+ leak is a common effector in multiple components of HF.

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a continuum that includes epithelial, partial EMT (P-EMT) and mesenchymal states, each of which are associated with cancer progression, invasive capabilities and ultimately metastasis. We have employed a lineage traced sporadic model of pancreatic cancer to generate a murine organoid biobank from primary and secondary tumors, including sublines that have undergone P-EMT and complete EMT (C-EMT). Using an unbiased quantitative proteomics approach, we found that the morphology of the organoids could predict EMT state, with solid organoids associated with a C-EMT signature. We also observed that exogenous TGFb1 could induce a solid organoid morphology that was associated with changes in the S100 family of proteins and the formation of high-grade tumors. Our work reveals that S100A4 may represent a useful biomarker to predict EMT state, disease progression and outcome.

Project description:Double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) continuously arise and are a source of mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. Here, we present DSBCapture, a sequencing-based method that captures DSBs in situ and directly maps these at single nucleotide resolution enabling the study of DSB origin. DSBCapture shows substantially increased sensitivity and data yield compared to other methods. Employing DSBCapture, we uncovered a striking relationship between DSBs and elevated transcription within nucleosome-depleted chromatin. 6 library samples, 75 base pairs (50 bp for the EcoRV library) custom protocol (DSBCapture or BLESS) sequenced as paired-end reads on Illumina NextSeq 500 (MiSeq for EcoRV library): 1 replicate for the EcoRV library, 1 replicate for the library coming from the U2OS AID-DlvA cell line with AsiSI restriction enzyme, 2 replicates for the BREAk-seq NHEK libraries and 2 replicates for the BLESS NHEK libraries. 4 RNA-Seq library samples from HEK Gibco cells, single-end sequencing on the Illumina NextSeq 500, 75 base pairs.
