Project description:Studies from global loss-of-function mutants suggest that alternative NF-kB downstream of NF-kB inducing kinase (NIK) is a cell-intrinsic negative regulator of osteogenesis. However, the interpretation of the osteoblast and/or osteocyte contribution to the bone phenotype is complicated by simultaneous osteoclast defects in these models. Therefore, we turned to a transgenic mouse model to investigate the direct role of NIK in the osteolineage. Osx-Cre;NT3 animals (NT3-Cre+), which bear a constitutively active NIK allele (NT3) driven by Osx-Cre, were compared to their Cre-negative, Control (Ctrl) littermates. NT3-Cre+ mice had elevated serum P1NP and CTX levels. Despite this high turnover state, microCT showed that constitutive activation of NIK resulted in a net increase in basal bone mass in both cortical and cancellous compartments. Furthermore, NT3-Cre+ mice exhibited a greater anabolic response following mechanical loading compared to controls. We next performed RNA-Seq on non-loaded and loaded tibiae to elucidate possible mechanisms underlying the increased bone anabolism seen in NT3-Cre+ mice. Hierarchical clustering revealed two main transcriptional programs: one loading-responsive and the other NT3 transgene-driven. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated a distinct upregulation of receptor, kinase and growth factor activities including Wnts, as well as a calcium-response signature in NT3-Cre+ limbs. The promoters of these GO-term associated genes, including many known to be bone-anabolic, were highly enriched for multiple kB recognition elements (kB-RE) relative to the background frequency in the genome. The loading response in NT3-Cre+ mice substantially overlapped (>90%) with Ctrl. Surprisingly, control animals had 10-fold more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to loading. However, most top DEGs shared between genotypes had a high incidence of multiple kB-RE in their promoters. Therefore, both transcriptional programs (loading-responsive and NT3 transgene-driven) are modulated by NF-kB. Our studies uncover a previously unrecognized role for NF-kB in the promotion of both basal and mechanically-stimulated bone formation.

Project description:Aberrant NF-kB signaling fuels tumor growth in multiple human cancer types including both hematologic and solid malignancies. Chronic elevated alternative NF-kB signaling can be modeled in transgenic mice upon activation of a conditional NF-kB-inducing kinase (NIK) allele lacking the regulatory TRAF3 binding domain (NT3). Here, we report that expression of NT3 in the mesenchymal lineage with Osterix (Osx/Sp7)-Cre or Fibroblast Specific Protein (Fsp1)-Cre caused subcutaneous, soft tissue tumors. These tumors displayed significantly shorter latency and a greater multiple incidence rate in Fsp1-Cre;NT3 compared to Osx-Cre;NT3 mice, regardless of sex. Histological assessment revealed poorly differentiated solid tumors with some spindled patterns, as well as robust RelB (Relb) immunostaining, confirming activation of alternative NF-kB. Even though NT3 expression also occurs in the osteolineage in Osx-Cre;NT3 mice, we observed no bony lesions. The staining profiles and pattern of Cre expression in the two lines pointed to a mesenchymal tumor origin. Immunohistochemistry revealed that these tumors stain strongly for SMA (Acta2), although vimentin (Vim) staining was uniform only in Osx-Cre;NT3 tumors. Negative CD45 (Ptprc) and S100 immunostains precluded hematopoietic and melanocytic origins, respectively, while positive staining for CK19 (Krt19), typically associated with epithelia, was found in subpopulations of both tumors. Principal component, differential expression, and gene ontology analyses revealed that NT3 tumors are distinct from normal mesenchymal tissues and are enriched for NF-kB related biological processes. We conclude that constitutive activation of the alternative NF-kB pathway in the mesenchymal linage drives spontaneous sarcoma and provides a novel mouse model for NF-kB related sarcomas.

Project description:The genetic programs that maintain hematopoiesis during steady state in physiologic conditions are different from those activated during stress. Here we show that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with deficiencies in components of the alternative NFkB pathway (the NFkB inducing kinase, NIK, and the downstream molecule NFkB2) had a defect in response to stressors such as supraphysiological doses of cytokines, chemotherapy and hematopoietic transplantation. NIK-deficient mice had peripheral blood and bone marrow leukocyte numbers within normal ranges (except for the already reported defects in B-cell maturation), however, HSCs showed significantly slower expansion capacity in in vitro cultures compared to wild type HSCs. This was due to a delayed cell cycle and increased apoptosis. In vivo experiments showed that NIK-deficient HSCs did not recover at the same pace as controls when challenged with myeloablative chemotherapy. Finally, NIK-deficient HSCs showed a significantly decreased competitive repopulation capacity in vivo. Using HSCs from mice deficient in one of two downstream targets of NIK, i.e., either NFkB2 or c-Rel, only NFkB2 deficiency recapitulated the defects detected with NIK-deficient HSCs. Our results underscore the role of NIK and the alternative NFkB pathway for the recovery of normal levels of hematopoiesis after stress.

Project description:We previously found that NF-kB inducing kinase (NIK) overexpression in T cells via CD4 promoter driven transgene induction caused lethal autoimmunity in mice. Autoimmunity was associated with increased conventional T cell effector function and decreased regulatory T cell (Foxp3+CD4+) suppression. The goal in this study was to elucidate global transcriptional changes in Foxp3+CD4+ and Foxp3-CD4+ T cells intrinsically caused by chronic NIK overexpression in these cell types.

Project description:NF-κB-Inducing Kinase (NIK), which is essential for the activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway, regulates diverse processes in immunity, development, and disease. While recent studies have elucidated important functions of NIK in adaptive immune cells and cancer cell metabolism, the role of NIK in metabolic-driven inflammatory responses in innate immune cells remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that NIK-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages exhibit defects in mitochondrial-dependent metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) functions that impair acquisition of a pro-repair, anti-inflammatory phenotype. Subsequently, NIK-deficient mice exhibit skewing of myeloid cells characterized by aberrant eosinophil, monocyte, and macrophage cell populations in the blood, bone marrow, and adipose tissue. Furthermore, NIK-deficient blood monocytes display hyperresponsiveness to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and elevated TNFα production ex vivo, indicative of systemic inflammation. These findings suggest that NIK is required for the metabolic rewiring of mitochondrial respiration that is critical for balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory myeloid immune cell functions. Overall, our work highlights a previously unrecognized role for NIK as a molecular rheostat that fine-tunes immunometabolism in innate immunity and suggests that metabolic dysfunction may be an important driver of inflammatory diseases caused by aberrant NIK expression or activity.

Project description:Metabolic reprograming towards aerobic glycolysis is a pivotal mechanism that shapes immune responses. While deregulated T cell metabolism is associated with autoimmune diseases, metabolic deficiency contributes to T cell exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Here we describe a posttranslational mechanism of glycolysis regulation mediated by the NF-kB-inducing kinase (NIK). NIK deficiency impairs glycolysis induction, rendering CD8 effector T cells hypofunctional with features of exhaustion in tumor microenvironment. Conversely, ectopic expression of NIK promotes CD8 T cell metabolism and prevents exhaustion, thereby profoundly enhancing antitumor immunity and improving the efficacy of T cell adoptive therapy. Interestingly, although NIK is known as a kinase mediating activation of noncanonical NF-kB, NIK regulates T cell metabolism via an NF-kB-independent mechanism that involves stabilization of hexokinase 2 (HK2), a rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. NIK deficiency causes autophagic degradation of HK2, at least in part due to aberrant ROS accumulation. NIK phosphorylates, and maintains the activity of, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), an enzyme mediating production of the antioxidant NADPH required for preventing ROS accumulation and oxidative stress. We provide genetic evidence that the G6PD-NADPH redox system has a vital role in regulating HK2 stability and metabolism in activated T cells. These findings establish NIK as a pivotal regulator of T cell metabolism and highlight a posttranslational mechanism of metabolic regulation involving the G6PD-NADPH redox system.

Project description:Proper regulation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcriptional activity is required for normal lymphocyte function, and deregulated NF-κB signaling can facilitate lymphomagenesis. We demonstrate that the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein created by the recurrent t(11;18)(q21;q21) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma induces proteolytic cleavage of NF-κB–inducing kinase (NIK) at arginine 325. NIK cleavage requires the concerted actions of both fusion partners and generates a C-terminal NIK fragment that retains kinase activity and is resistant to proteasomal degradation. The resulting deregulated NIK activity is associated with constitutive noncanonical NF-κB signaling, enhanced B cell adhesion, and apoptosis resistance. Our study reveals the gain-of-function proteolytic activity of a fusion oncoprotein and highlights the importance of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in B lymphoproliferative disease. This study compares nine t(11;18)-positive MALT lymphomas (8 from the stomach and 1 from lung) and eight translocation negative MALT lymphomas (all from the stomach) using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). All cases were subjected to Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarray analysis. The cases used in this study are the same cases used for the study by Hamoudi et al. (2010) entitled "Differential expression of NF-kB target genes in MALT lymphoma with and without chromosome translocation: insights into molecular mechanism" with GEO reference number: GSE18736 and PubMed ID: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20520640 All cases were subjected to non-specific filtering to eliminate non-variant probes, then the U133A and U133B probes were collapsed and the collapsed set was subjected to GSEA using the NF-kB target gene set as described in Hamoudi et al. (2010) study mentioned above. The 34 samples in this study are identical to the ones done in the previous series except that the gene set enrichment was done on just those 34 samples and not the complete set.
