Project description:To understand the effect of MOTS-c treatment on cast immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, we injected MOTS-c into casted mice. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of three groups: non-immobilization group, immobilization control group, and immobilization and MOTS-c treated group.

Project description:Mitochondria are principal metabolic organelles that are increasingly unveiled as immune regulators. However, it is currently not known whether mitochondrial-encoded peptides modulate T cells to induce changes in phenotype and function. Here, we found that MOTS-c prevented autoimmune β-cell destruction via phenotypical and functional changes of T cells in NOD mice, a type 1 diabetes (T1D) animal model. MOTS-c ameliorated the development of hyperglycemia and reduced islet-infiltrating immune cells. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of T cells from MOTS-c-treated NOD mice significantly decreased the incidence of diabetes in NOD-SCID mice. Metabolic and genomic analysis revealed that MOTS-c modulated T cell phenotype and function by regulating TCR/mTORC1 pathway. We observed that T1D patients had a lower serum MOTS-c level than healthy controls. Furthermore, MOTS-c reduced T cell activation by alleviating T cells from the glycolytic stress in T1D patients suggesting a potential therapeutic implication. Our findings indicate that the MOTS-c acts as a regulator of T cell phenotype and function in autoimmune diabetes.

Project description:Mitochondria are known to be functional organelles, but their role as a signaling unit is increasingly being appreciated. The recent identification of a short open reading frame (sORF) in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encodes a signaling peptide, humanin, suggests the possible existence of additional sORFs in the mtDNA that yield bioactive peptides. Here we report the identification of a sORF within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA encoding a 16-amino-acid peptide named MOTS-c (mitochondrial open-reading-frame of the twelve S rRNA -c) that regulates insulin sensitivity and metabolic homeostasis. MOTS-c is detected in various tissues and in circulation in an age-dependent manner. Its primary target organ appears to be the skeletal muscle and its cellular actions inhibit the folate cycle and its tethered de novo purine biosynthesis, causing a significant accumulation of AICAR levels concomitantly with AMPK activation. MOTS-c treatment in mice prevented age-dependent and high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, as well as diet-induced obesity. These results suggest that mitochondria may be more actively engaged in regulating metabolic homeostasis than previously recognized, through the production of peptides encoded within its genome that act at the cellular and organismal level. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293 cell line) were cultured in 10-cm dishes in 7 mL of phenol-free DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and incubated with water (controls) or the 16-amino-acid peptide mitochondrial open-reading-frame of the twelve S rRNA-c (MOTS-c, 10 uM) for 4 or 72 hours prior to RNA extraction.

Project description:The flagellar motor is a powerful macromolecular machine used to propel bacteria through various environments. Flagellar motility of the alpha-proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti is nearly abolished in the absence of the transcriptional regulator LdtR, which is involved in peptidoglycan remodeling. We report that LdtR does not regulate motility gene transcription. Remarkably, the motility defects of the DldtR mutant can be restored by secondary mutations in the motility gene motA or a previously uncharacterized gene in the flagellar regulon, which we named motS. MotS is not essential for S. meliloti motility and may serve an accessory role in flagellar motor function. Structural modeling predicts that MotS is comprised of an N-terminal transmembrane segment, a long-disordered region, and a conserved β-sandwich domain. The C-terminus of MotS is localized in the periplasm. Genetics-based substitution of MotA with a MotAG12S variant protein also restored the ΔldtR motility defect. The MotAG12S variant causes a local polarity shift at the periphery of the MotAB stator units. We propose that MotS may be required for optimal alignment of stators in wild-type flagellar motors but becomes detrimental in cells with altered peptidoglycan. Similarly, the polarity shift in the stator units composed of MotB/MotAG12S might stabilize its interaction with altered peptidoglycan.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder for which a definitive cure is still missing. This is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory milieu in the colonic tract where a composite set of immune and non-immune cells orchestrate its pathogenesis. Over the last years, a growing body of evidence has been pinpointing gut virome dysbiosis as underlying its progression. Nonetheless, its role during the early phases of chronic inflammation is far from being fully defined. Here we show the gut virome-associated Hepatitis B virus protein X, most likely acquired after an event of zoonotic spillover, to be associated with the early stages of ulcerative colitis and to induce colonic inflammation in mice. It acts as a transcriptional regulator in epithelial cells, provoking barrier leakage and altering mucosal immunity at the level of both innate and adaptive immunity. This study paves the way to the comprehension of the aetiopathogenesis of intestinal inflammation and encourages further investigations of the virome as a trigger also in other scenarios. Moreover, it provides a brand-new standpoint that looks at the virome as a target for tailored treatments, blocking the early phases of chronic inflammation and possibly leading to better disease management.
