Project description:Mechanotransduction leads to a variety of biological responses including changes in cell shape, migration, tissue development, immune responses, and gene expression. Dysregulation of mechanotransduction is implicated in the progression of various diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The actin cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in transmitting mechanical stimuli. Actin filaments, essential for cell motility and shape changes, respond to mechanical cues by remodeling, influencing gene expression via the LINC complex and mechanosensitive transcription factors. This study employs the DSP-MNase DNA-seq method to explore the relationship between cellular mechanosensing and chromatin architecture.

Project description:Megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) promotes the regulation of essential cell processes, including actin cytoskeletal dynamics by co-activating serum response factor. Recently, the first human case with MKL1 deficiency, leading to a novel primary immunodeficiency, was identified. We report a second family with two siblings with a homozygous frameshift mutation in MKL1. The index case deceased as an infant from progressive and severe pneumonia by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and poor wound healing. The younger sib was preemptively transplanted shortly after birth. The immunodeficiency was marked by a pronounced actin polymerization defect and a strongly reduced motility and chemotactic response by MKL1-deficient neutrophils. Apart from the lack of MKL1, subsequent proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of patient neutrophils revealed actin and several actin-related proteins to be downregulated, confirming a role for MKL1 as transcriptional co-regulator. Degranulation was enhanced upon suboptimal neutrophil activation, while production of reactive oxygen species was normal. Neutrophil adhesion was intact but without proper spreading. The latter could explain the observed failure in firm adherence and transendothelial migration under flow conditions. No apparent defect in phagocytosis and bacterial killing was found. Also monocyte-derived macrophages showed intact phagocytosis; lymphocyte counts and proliferative capacity were normal. Non-hematopoietic primary patient fibroblasts demonstrated defective differentiation into myofibroblasts but normal migration and filamentous actin (F-actin) content, most probably due to compensatory mechanisms of MKL2, which is not expressed in neutrophils. Our findings extend current insight into the severe immune dysfunction in MKL1 deficiency, with cytoskeletal dysfunction and defective extravasation of neutrophils as most prominent features.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis remain poorly understood. Here, we report that TFAM deficiency rapidly and stably induced spontaneous lung metastasis in mice with liver cancer. Interestingly, unexpected polymerization of nuclear actin was observed in TFAM-knockdown HCC cells when cytoskeleton was examined. Polymerization of nuclear actin is causally linked to the high-metastatic ability of HCC cells by modulating chromatin accessibility and coordinating the expression of genes associated with extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and cell migration. Mechanistically, TFAM deficiency blocked the TCA cycle and increased the intracellular malonyl-CoA levels. Malonylation of mDia2, which drives actin assembly, promotes its nuclear translocation. Importantly, inhibition of malonyl-CoA production or nuclear actin polymerization significantly impeded the spread of HCC cells in mice. Moreover, TFAM was significantly downregulated in metastatic HCC tissues and was associated with overall survival and time to tumor recurrence of HCC patients. Taken together, our study connects mitochondria to the metastasis of human cancer via uncovered mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde signaling, indicating that TFAM may serve as an effective target to block HCC metastasis.

Project description:CD4 T helper cells can differentiate to several types of cells like Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg. This process is directed by cytokines and activation of T cells by specific antigens. This process has its own plasticity and it is directed by epigenetic changes allowing cells to develop and differentiate. In this experiment, we wanted to explore the binding pattern of EZH2 in the first 24 hours of Th cells activation and differentiation side by side with VAV1 binding pattern to understand the importance of actin polymerization factors in this process.

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is primarily used as an industrial degreasing agent and has been in use since the 1940s. TCE is released into the soil, surface, and groundwater. From an environmental and regulatory standpoint more than half of Superfund hazardous waste sites on the National Priority List are contaminated with TCE. Occupational exposure to TCE occurs primarily via inhalation, while environmental TCE exposure also occurs through ingestion of contaminated drinking water. Current literature links TCE exposure to various adverse health effects including cardiovascular toxicity. Current studies aiming to address developmental cardiovascular toxicity utilized rodent and avian models with the majority of studies using relatively higher parts per million (ppm; mg/L) doses. In this study to further investigate developmental cardiotoxicity of TCE, zebrafish embryos were treated with 0, 10, 100, or 500 parts per billion (ppb; μg/L) TCE during embryogenesis and/or through early larval stages. After the appropriate exposure period, angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function were assessed. A significant dose response decrease in angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function was observed. To further complement this data, a transcriptomic profile of zebrafish larvae was completed to identify gene alterations associated with the 10 ppb TCE exposure. Results from the transcriptomic data revealed that an embryonic TCE exposure caused significant changes in genes associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, and organismal injury and abnormalities with a number of targets in the FAK signaling pathway. Overall, results from our study further support TCE as a developmental cardiovascular toxicant and continued priority for environmental regulation.

Project description:Mitochondrial damage (MtD) represents a dramatic change in cellular homeostasis, necessitating metabolic changes and stimulating mitophagy. One rapid response to MtD is rapid peri-mitochondrial actin polymerization, termed ADA (acute damage-induced actin). The activation mechanism for ADA is unknown. Here, we use mitochondrial depolarization or the complex I inhibitor metformin to induce ADA. We show that two parallel signaling pathways are required for ADA. In one pathway, increased cytosolic calcium activates in turn PKC-β, Rac, WAVE regulatory complex, and Arp2/3 complex. In the other pathway, a drop in cellular ATP activates in turn AMPK (through LKB1), Cdc42, and FMNL formins. We also identify putative guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rac and Cdc42, Trio and Fgd1 respectively, whose phosphorylation states increase upon mitochondrial depolarization and whose suppression inhibits ADA. The depolarization-induced calcium increase is dependent on the mitochondrial sodium-calcium exchanger NCLX, suggesting initial mitochondrial calcium efflux. We also show that ADA inhibition results in enhanced mitochondrial shape changes upon mitochondrial depolarization, suggesting that ADA inhibits these shape changes. These depolarization-induced shape changes are not fragmentation but a circularization of the inner mitochondrial membrane, dependent on the inner mitochondrial membrane protease Oma1. ADA inhibition increases proteolytic processing of an Oma1 substrate, the dynamin GTPase Opa1. These results show that ADA requires the combined action of Arp2/3 complex and formin proteins to polymerize a network of actin filaments around mitochondria, and that the ADA network inhibits the rapid mitochondrial shape changes that occur upon mitochondrial depolarization.
