Project description:Epidemics of influenza virus are of great challenges to the public concern. The lung inflammation and injury caused by excessive inflammatory cell infiltration into the lungs and overproduction of inflammatory mediators are major consequences during influenza virus infection. Neutrophils are vital for anti-microbial defense. However, the roles of neutrophils during viral infections are less clear. Furthermore, the molecular regulation of neutrophil fate and function at the viral infected sites is largely elusive. We found that BCL6 deficiency in neutrophils, but not in monocytes nor lung macrophages, attenuated host inflammation and morbidity following influenza infection. Mechanistically, BCL6 bound to the neutrophil gene loci involved in cellular apoptosis specifically at the site of infection. As such, BCL6 disruption resulted in increased expression of apoptotic genes in neutrophils in the respiratory tract, but not in the circulation nor bone marrow. Consequently, BCL6 deficiency promoted tissue neutrophil apoptosis. Our results have revealed a previously unappreciated role of BCL6 in modulating neutrophil apoptosis at the site of infection for the regulation of host disease development following viral infection.

Project description:Neutrophils are vital for antimicrobial defense; however, their role during viral infection is less clear. Furthermore, the molecular regulation of neutrophil fate and function at the viral infected sites is largely elusive. Here we report that BCL6 deficiency in myeloid cells exhibited drastically enhanced host resistance to severe influenza A virus (IAV) infection. In contrast to the notion that BCL6 functions to suppress innate inflammation, we find that myeloid BCL6 deficiency diminished lung inflammation without affecting viral loads. Using a series of Cre-transgenic, reporter, and knockout mouse lines, we demonstrate that BCL6 deficiency in neutrophils, but not in monocytes or lung macrophages, attenuated host inflammation and morbidity following IAV infection. Mechanistically, BCL6 bound to the neutrophil gene loci involved in cellular apoptosis in cells specifically at the site of infection. As such, BCL6 disruption resulted in increased expression of apoptotic genes in neutrophils in the respiratory tract, but not in the circulation or bone marrow. Consequently, BCL6 deficiency promoted tissue neutrophil apoptosis. Partial neutrophil depletion led to diminished pulmonary inflammation and decreased host morbidity. Our results reveal a previously unappreciated role of BCL6 in modulating neutrophil apoptosis at the site of infection for the regulation of host disease development following viral infection. Furthermore, our studies indicate that tissue-specific regulation of neutrophil survival modulates host inflammation and tissue immunopathology during acute respiratory viral infection.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental fungus that can cause invasive pulmonary aspergillosis when spores are inhaled into the respiratory tract and invade airway or lung tissue. Influenza is a common respiratory virus that can cause severe respiratory disease, and postinfluenza invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, which is becoming a well-recognized clinical problem, typically occurs in critically ill patients. Mice challenged with influenza A PR/8/34 H1N1 and subsequently challenged with A. fumigatus had increased fungal burden, viral burden, inflammation, and mortality compared with single infected mice. Neutrophil recruitment in the lung of superinfected mice was decreased; however, mice were not neutropenic, and there was no difference in absolute blood neutrophils between groups. Additionally, CXCL1 and CXCL2 were decreased in lungs of superinfected mice compared with controls. IFN levels were increased in mice that received influenza, and deletion of STAT1 resulted in decreased fungal burden, increased airway and lung neutrophils, and increased CXCL1 compared with wild-type mice, whereas deletion of STAT2 did not change fungal burden or airway neutrophilia compared with wild-type mice. These data demonstrate a mechanism by which influenza A-induced STAT1 signaling inhibits neutrophil recruitment and increases susceptibility to postinfluenza invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

Project description:Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is the leading cause of vascular dementia among the elderly. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are commonly manifested in CAA patients but are usually considered as consequences of CAA pathology. Here, we report that chronic stress promotes CAA progression, which enhances deposition of amyloid protein beta (Aβ) in brain blood vessels and exacerbates subsequent brain injury. Mechanistically, neutrophil is implicated in CAA development. Aβ that accumulated in brain vasculature induces neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by activating STAT6 signaling, which inhibits neutrophil apoptosis and switches the programmed cell death toward NETosis. During chronic stress, circulatory Norepinephrine (NE) strengthens STAT6 activation in neutrophil and promotes NET formation, thus exacerbates the NET-dependent angiopathy. We demonstrate that inhibiting neutrophil chemotaxis towards brain or suppressing NET formation both ameliorate CAA severity in the context of chronic stress. Therefore, we propose that stress-associated psychological disorders and NETs are promising therapeutic targets in CAA.

Project description:Most small-molecule protein degraders act as interface stabilizers ‘molecular glues’ between E3 ubiquitin ligases and target proteins to induce ternary complex formation and ubiquitin-dependent target protein degradation. Here we report polymerization as a novel mechanism for small molecule-induced degradation. Using functional screens in combination with molecular and biochemical assays, we found that BI-3802, which binds to the BTB domain of the oncogenic transcription factor BCL6, induces polymerization of BCL6 into regular helical structures in vitro and foci in vivo. Polymerization precedes degradation by the SIAH1 E3 ubiquitin ligase. Hereby, a VxP amino acid motif on BCL6, distal from the drug-binding BTB domain, is required for SIAH1 binding, ubiquitination and BI-3802-induced degradation. Our findings propose that small molecule-induced polymerization is not only a new modality for targeted protein degradation, but also provides synthetic biology with a tool for tunable protein polymerization and opens new avenues for future drug design.

Project description:Injury to the epithelium is integral to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory lung diseases, and epithelial repair is a critical determinant of clinical outcome. However, the signaling pathways regulating such repair are incompletely understood. Herein, we used in vitro and in vivo models to define these pathways. Human neutrophils were induced to transmigrate across monolayers of human lung epithelial cells in the physiologic basolateral-to-apical direction to a gradient of fMLP. Control wells were treated with fMLP alone. Indicated wells were pretreated with an anti-CD47 blocking antibody, which exacerbates epithelial injury. This allowed study of the neutrophil contribution not only to the initial epithelial injury, but also to its repair, as manifest by restoration of transepithelial resistance (TER) and re-epithelialization of the denuded epithelium. Microarray analysis of epithelial gene expression revealed that neutrophil transmigration activated β-catenin signaling, and this was verified by real time PCR, nuclear translocation of β-catenin, and TOPFlash reporter activity. This pathway represents a potential therapeutic target to accelerate physiologic recovery in inflammatory lung diseases. Total of 20 samples: Calu-3 cells that were untreated, treated with fMLP, treated with fMLP and neutrophil transmigration, and treated with anti-CD47 antibodies, fMLP, and neutrophil transmigration; cDNA was pooled from n=3 experiments; No biological replicates
