▼ Le facteur de transcription NF-KB joue un rôle essentiel dans le développement, l’homéostasie, la survie du système immunitaire, mais également dans la propagation de certains lymphomes. L’activation optimale de NF-ΚB en réponse à l’engagement de nombreux immunorécepteurs repose sur la mise en place de larges signalosomes dans lesquels des adaptateurs spécifiques sont recrutés et poly-Ubiquitinylés de façon non-Dégradative. En réponse à des cytokines pro-Inflammatoires ou à l’activation des récepteurs antigéniques, ces adaptateurs ubiquitinylés s’accumulent sur la face cytoplasmique du réticulum endoplasmique (RE) via la protéine du RE metadherine (MTDH) qui assure la propagation du signal NF-KB. Toutefois, la nature des E3 ligases en charge de relayer NF-KB au niveau des organites intracellulaires reste méconnue. C’est pourquoi j’ai réalisé le crible par bioluminescence d’une librairie de siRNA dirigée contre les 46 E3 ubiquitine ligases humaines pourvues d’un domaine transmembranaire qui les ancrent au niveau de différents compartiments cellulaires afin d’étudier leur impact sur l’activation de NF-KB en réponse à une stimulation antigénique dans un modèle de lymphocytes T immortalisés Jurkat. Nous avons identifié la protéine du RE TRIM13 comme un régulateur positif de la signalisation NF-ΚB. Nos données suggèrent un modèle dans lequel TRIM13 régule l’activation de NF-KB en modulant indépendamment l’activation de deux membres clés de la famille NF-KB au cours de l’activation lymphocytaire, RelA (p65) et c-Rel.Lors de cette thèse, j’ai également participé au crible d’une librairie de siRNA ciblant les 96 déubiquitinases (DUBs) codées par le génome humain afin d’identifier celles en charge de ramener les cellules vers leur état basal. Ceci a permis la caractérisation de la protéase spécifique de l’ubiquitine USP34 (Ubiquitin specific protease 34). La réduction des niveaux endogènes de USP34 potentialise l’activation de NF-KB en réponse à l’engagement du récepteur antigénique T ou du récepteur au TNFa et la liaison de NF-KB à l’ADN est accrue. Collectivement, ces résultats suggèrent que USP34 est un nouvel acteur impliqué dans la régulation négative de NF-KB.Ces résultats illustrent l’importance des processus d’ubiquitination réversibles dans la régulation de la signalisation NF-ΚB et introduisent les cribles génétiques comme un outil efficace pour l’identification de régulateurs de processus biologiques divers.
The transcription factor NF-KappaB plays a critical role in the development, homeostasis, the survival of the immune system, but also in the propagation of certain lymphomas. The optimal activation of NF-KappaB in response to the engagement of many immunoreceptors rely on the implementation of large signalosomes where specific adaptors are recruited and poly-Ubiquitinylated in a non-Degradative manner. In response to proinflammatory cytokines or activation of antigen receptors, these Ubiquitinylated adaptors accumulate on the cytoplasmic leaflet of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the ER protein metadherin…

▼ Cellular response to inflammatory cytokines involves concerted changes in gene expression. Cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, regulate gene expression through multiple intracellular signaling pathways. The activation of transcription factors is one of the important mechanisms through which these cytokines regulate gene expression, and
NF-κB is a key transcription factor that is activated by TNF-α during inflammation. In this study, we have utilized green fluorescent protein reporter cells along with fluorescence microscopy, image analysis and mechanistic modeling to determine the activation dynamics of
NF-κB in H35 rat hepatoma cells upon TNF-α stimulation.
NF-κB reporter cells were monitored for induction of GFP expression for 24 hours following continuous stimulation with 2.5ng/mL, 10ng/mL and 25ng/mL TNF-α. As expected, TNF-α addition resulted in a significant increase in fluorescence. Relative fluorescence profiles were generated from the fluorescence intensity data, and indicated that fluorescence increases up to 24 hours after an initial delay of approximately four hours. The fluorescence data was also used to develop a model describing significant events leading to
NF-κB activation and GFP expression. In addition, a model describing regulatable expression of GFP upon stable integration into the genome was also developed. Comparing these two models led to the construction of a third model depicting
NF-κB activation dynamics. Simulation of the model representing
NF-κB activation dynamics yielded an
NF- κB activation profile, which demonstrated that in the presence of constant TNF-α stimulation, there is an approximate 90 minute hour time delay followed by a rapid increase in nuclear
NF-κB, that reaches a steady state value at approximately two hours. This study establishes a method to derive
NF-κB activation from reporter cell fluorescence data, and can be used to infer dynamics of activation of other transcription factors using GFP reporter cell lines.

▼ The IkappaB kinase epsilon (IKKepsilon, IKKi, IKBKE) is both a regulator of innate immunity and a breast cancer oncogene that is amplified and overexpressed in ~30% of breast cancers. IKKepsilon promotes malignant transformation through the activation of
NF-
kappaB signaling. In addition, breast cancers that harbor amplifications in the IKBKE gene are dependent on IKKepsilon protein expression for survival. IKKepsilon has been characterized as a non-canonical inhibitor of
kappaB kinase (IKK) that activates both the interferon response pathway and
NF-
kappaB signaling in innate immunity. In this dissertation, I explore both the regulation and effectors of the IKKepsilon kinase in the context of malignant transformation. I found that IKKepsilon is modified and regulated by K63-linked polyubiquitination, a proteasome- and degradation-independent form of ubiquitination, at Lysine 30 and Lysine 401. This modification is essential for IKKepsilon-induced kinase function and IKKepsilon-mediated
NF-
kappaB activation and malignant transformation. Furthermore, I identified TRAF2 as the K63 ubiquitin E3 ligase that associates with and modifies IKKepsilon. I also found that TBK1, a close family member of IKKepsilon, is also regulated by K63-linked ubiquitination. In collaborative work, we used an unbiased positional scanning peptide library screen to identify two novel downstream targets of IKKepsilon phosphorylation in the context of cancer. Specifically, we found IKKepsilon phosphorylates the tumor suppressor CYLD at Serine 418. CYLD phosphorylation at Ser418 downregulates its deubiquitinase activity and is necessary for IKKepsilon-driven transformation. IKKepsilon also phosphorylates TRAF2 at Serine 11. This activity promotes K63-linked TRAF2 ubiquitination,
NF-
kappaB activation and is also essential for IKKepsilon-transformation. In addition, breast cancer cells that depend on IKKepsilon expression for survival are also dependent on TRAF2. Together, these observations define an oncogenic network that promotes
NF-
kappaB-mediated cell transformation through the K63-linked ubiquitination of IKKepsilon and subsequent phosphorylation of two novel substrates, TRAF2 and CYLD.

▼ The interaction between neutrophils and activated endothelial cells (ECs) is critical for the pathogenesis of vascular inflammation. However, it remains poorly understood how neutrophil-EC interactions are regulated. Using intravital microscopy with mice lacking downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM), a transcriptional repressor, we demonstrated that intravascular cell DREAM was important for neutrophil adhesion to TNF-α-activated ECs during vascular inflammation. Studies with bone marrow chimeras revealed that both hematopoietic and EC DREAM were required for neutrophil-EC interactions. DREAM-null neutrophils showed reduced membrane translocation and ligand-binding activity of αMβ2 integrin and β2-talin1 binding following stimulation with TNF-α, but not fMLF. Deletion of neutrophil DREAM resulted in upregulated expression of A20, a negative regulator of
NF-κB signaling and downregulated expression of p65, a critical subunit of the
NF-κB complex. Further, we found that neutrophil DREAM was required for gene transcription of TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6, and phosphorylation of IκB kinase (IKK) following TNF- stimulation. Inhibition of IKK activity reduced the membrane translocation of αMβ2 integrin and degranulation in TNF-α-stimulated WT, but not DREAM-null, neutrophils. Thus, our results suggest that neutrophil DREAM plays an important role in both
NF-κB-dependent gene transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines and
NF-κB-independent IKK activation during vascular inflammation. Since αMβ2 integrin and neutrophil-derived cytokines are important for the interaction of neutrophils with platelets, we further determined whether DREAM regulates platelet-neutrophil interaction during vascular inflammation. Our fluorescence intravital microscopy demonstrated that both hematopoietic and EC DREAM are crucial for regulating the interaction of platelets with adherent neutrophils in TNFα-inflamed venules in live mice. Additionally, using an in vitro heterotypic cell-cell aggregation assay, we found that both neutrophil and platelet DREAM are important in regulation neutrophil-platelet interactions under stirring conditions mimicking venous shear. Compared with WT platelets, DREAM KO platelets exhibited a significant reduction in P-selectin exposure on activated platelets which is required for platelet-neutrophil interaction. Taken together, these results provide important evidence that intravascular cell DREAM could be a novel therapeutic target for treatment of inflammatory diseases.

▼ Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a multifunctional cytokine produced primarily by activated monocytes/macrophages and by a variety of other cell types. IL-1 plays an integral role in the immuno-inflammatory response of the body to a variety of stimuli including infection, trauma and other bodily injuries. Once IL-1 is released from the synthesizing cell, it acts as a hormone, initializing a variety of responses in different cells and tissues. These responses are believed to be crucial to survival and are termed acute-phase responses.
NF-κB is a family of dimeric transcription factors that control the expression of hundreds of genes which regulate cellular stress responses, cell division, apoptosis, and inflammation.
NF-κB dwells in the cytoplasm of the cell until activation in response to a wide range of extracellular stimuli including signaling molecules such as cytokines.
NF-κB regulates transcription and gene expression through nucleocytoplasmic transport. Most previous studies on
NF-κB activation have been performed using bulk assays to look at populations of cells. Determining cell variance at a single-cell level is crucial in understanding the full mechanisms of drug response. The goal of this study is to analyze the effects of variant concentrations of IL-1β on the activation of
NF-κB in individual cells through use of a microfluidic gradient generator.
The gradient generator was adopted from Jeon et al and used principles of diffusive mixing and splitting of flows in order create a solute concentration gradient. A soft lithography procedure was used. Briefly, the design was printed on a transparency using a high resolution printer. A master of the design is then created using an SU-8 photoresist and UV light to imprint the design on a silicon wafer. The master is then used to create a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold of the design which can be irreversibly attached to a glass slide through oxidation in order to close off the microfluidic channels.
FITC-conjugated β-Casein (a protein with similar molecular weight to IL-1β) was used in order to verify the gradient generated by the design. The concentration gradient was analyzed by measuring fluorescent intensity of images taken under a UV light microscope and found to agree with microfluidic simulations run on COMSOL. A procedure for culturing cells in a microfluidic device was then adapted from Jeon that is explained in detail in Chapter 3.
Two main trends were revealed; firstly, as IL-1β concentration decreased, the percent of cells activated also decreased. Secondly, as IL-1β concentration decreased, the activation time of the responding cells increased. Cells were observed to act in a single-cell manner; in which multiple cells subjected to the same concentration would not all respond in the same fashion. No major activation threshold was observed but two minor thresholds were; the first at 0.02 ng/mL IL-1β where activation levels drop from 20% to around 5%. The second around 1 ng/mL, in which all greater concentrations show nearly complete…

▼ Nuclear factor-[kappa]B (
NF-[kappa]B) signaling is critical for the proper function of the immune system, and when deregulated, promotes the development of immune disorders and cancer. It is important to understand the complex regulatory mechanisms that govern
NF-[kappa]B activity so that we can improve therapies for cancer and immune diseases. Notably, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) has been shown to regulate the chromatin binding activity of the
NF-[kappa]B subunit RelB, in turn promoting RelB-p50 DNA binding, a process that inhibits canonical
NF-[kappa]B signaling. However, ARNT is expressed as two alternatively spliced isoforms, isoforms 1 and 3. Whether each isoform has a specific role in
NF-κB signaling is unclear. In the first project, ARNT isoforms 1 and 3 are shown to contribute in distinctive ways to lymphoid cancer cell growth through regulating RelB and p53. Importantly, suppression of isoform 1 in lymphoid cancer cell lines triggered S-phase cell cycle arrest, spontaneous apoptosis, and sensitized cells to doxorubicin treatment. Furthermore, co-suppression of RelB or p53 with ARNT isoform 1 prevented cell cycle arrest and blocked doxorubicin-induced cell death. Together these findings reveal that certain hematological malignancies rely on ARNT isoform 1 to potentiate proliferation by antagonizing RelB and p53-dependent cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In Chapter 4, the individual functions of ARNT isoforms 1 and 3 in
NF-[kappa]B signaling were investigated. The results from this study point to ARNT as a regulator of RelB-p52/p100 nuclear import in a cell-type specific manner. Furthermore, while both ARNT isoform 1 and 3 were necessary for regulating RelB-p52/p100 nuclear import in Karpas 299 cells, isoform 3 was found to be a negative regulator of
NF-[kappa]B target gene expression, whereas ARNT isoform 1 neither promoted nor inhibited
NF-[kappa]B signaling. While in HEK 293T cells, the presence of both ARNT isoform 1 and 3 promoted p100 nuclear translocation and co-localization with RelB. Together, these data indicate that ARNT isoform 1 and 3 form a complex with RelB and p52/p100 to fine-tune
NF-[kappa]B nuclear translocation and activity. Significantly, our results give insight into a novel regulatory mechanism of
NF-[kappa]B activity and identify ARNT as a potential target for anticancer therapies.

The deubiquitinase CYLD acts as a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling. To analyse the function of CYLD in vivo we used the CYLDex7/8 mice, which are characterized by loss of the full-length transcript and overexpression of a short splice variant of CYLD (sCYLD). In CYLDex7/8 mice the overexpression of sCYLD results in splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Additionally, the B cell population in spleen and lymph nodes is increased at the expense of T cells. Analysis of CYLDex7/8 T cells showed a significant reduction of CD4 single positive (SP) and CD8 SP T cells in the thymus and in the periphery. By investigating the impact of sCYLD in TCR signaling in thymocytes, we could demonstrate that sCYLD partially inhibited the activation of Zap70 and thereby negatively regulated TCR signaling. In vitro as well as in vivo we could show that CD4+ T cells displayed a hyperactive phenotype, proliferated to a better extent than WT cells and expressed high amounts of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-17A. Western Blots of steady state thymocytes and peripheral CD4+ T cells were performed, showing that the noncanonical pathway was highly upregulated visualized by the expression levels of RelB and p100 leading to a hyperactive phenotype of CD4+ T cells. In order to investigate the contribution of sCYLD in positive and negative selection in the thymus in vivo, the HY-TCR transgene (HYtg) was crossed to CYLDex7/8 mice. The analysis of CYLDex7/8 HYtg males revealed an increase in CD4+CD8+ DP as well as in CD8+ SP thymocytes, suggesting a less pronounced negative selection in CYLD mutant mice compared to HYtg control mice. Interestingly, the impaired negative selection in the thymus was accompanied by a strong colitis phenotype at early ages (4 weeks). Since medullary TECs (mTECs) play an important role in the late stage of T cell development by negatively selecting autoreactive thymocytes, the levels of mTECs in the medullary compartment was investigated. Of note, low numbers of mTECs were observed, combined with decreased expression levels of the mTEC markers UEA-1, keratin-5, claudin-3 and claudin-4. The reduction of mTECs in the medullary compartment could explain the inflammatory phenotype of CD4+ T cells in CYLDex7/8 mice leading to the severe intestinal pathology observed in these mice. Taken together, these results show an important role of sCYLD in T cell development and function as well as in NF-кB signaling of T cells.

▼ La mucoviscidose (Cystic Fibrosis, CF) est caractérisée par une symptomatologie variée, dominée par la gravité de l'atteinte pulmonaire et une réponse inflammatoire inadaptée. Elle est due à des mutations du gène CFTR codant un canal chlorure AMPc-dépendant à la surface des cellules épithéliales. L'inflammation des voies aériennes de type neutrophilique est caractérisée au niveau cellulaire par une surproduction de cytokines pro-inflammatoires telles que l'interleukine-8 (IL-8) et une activation anormale des facteurs de transcription impliqués dans les voies de signalisation de l'inflammation comme NF-κB, AP-1 et PPARγ.Notre projet est d'identifier des agents à effet anti-inflammatoire dans le contexte de la mucoviscidose et d'en décrypter les mécanismes d'action. Nous avons pour cela étudié l'effet de molécules anti-inflammatoires avec une autorisation de mise sur le marché mais jamais testées pour la mucoviscidose et l'effet de COMMD1 une protéine pléïotropique impliquée dans l'inhibition de l'inflammation et identifiée au laboratoire pour interagir avec CFTR.Dans un premier temps nous avons montré l'activité anti-inflammatoire de COMMD1 dans le contexte de la mucoviscidose via son action anti-NF-κB. Dans un second temps nous avons montré que le sulindac et l'amlexanox permettent de moduler des facteurs dérégulés dans des cellules CF. Ces molécules inhibent l'activité de NF-κB et activent PPARγ. Le sulindac permet de diminuer la sécrétion d'IL-8 in vitro sur des cellules épithéliales bronchiques et in vivo sur modèles d'inflammation pulmonaire murin. De plus nous avons montré que le sulindac augmente le transport des ions chlorures via CFTR sur des cellules épithéliales nasales humaines non CF suggérant que le sulindac a un double effet anti-inflammatoire et potentiateur.Ce projet de recherche nous a permis de proposer de nouveaux candidats pour les thérapies anti-inflammatoires dans la mucoviscidose et d'initier l'étude de leur mécanisme d'action.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by a varied symptomatology dominated by the lung injury severity and inappropriate inflammatory response. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene that encodes a cAMP-dependent chloride channel on the surface of epithelial cells. Airway inflammation with neutrphilic profil is characterised by increased Interleukine-8 (IL-8) secretion with dysregulation of transcription factors implicated in the inflammatory pathway such as NF-κB, AP-1 and PPARγ.Our aim is to evaluate agents with anti-inflammatory effect in CF context and to decrypt their mechanisms of action. We have study the effect of anti-inflammatory FDA approved drugs having a yet undefined effect in CF airway epithelial cells and the effect of COMMD1 a pleiotropic protein involved in the inhibition of inflammation and identified in the laboratory to interact with CFTR.In a first time we have shown the anti-inflammatory activity of COMMD1 mediated by its anti-NF-kB activity in the CF context. In a second time we have shown that sulindac and amlexanox can modulate factors…

▼ Le lymphome diffus à grandes cellules B (DLBCL, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma) constitue le lymphome non Hodgkinien le plus fréquemment diagnostiqué. Les DLBCL sont composés principalement de deux sous groupes : l’entité nommée ABC (Activated B Cell-like) qui est la plus agressive, avec un taux de survie de 30% après traitement, et l’entité GCB (Germinal-Center B Cell). Contrairement aux GCB DLBCL, les ABC DLBCL se caractérisent par une signature génique similaire aux lymphocytes B activés par leur récepteur antigénique (BCR, B Cell Receptor) à cause de l'accumulation de mutations génétiques. Ceci a pour conséquence une activation constitutive du facteur de transcription NF-κB pour laquelle les lymphomes ABC DLBCL ont développé une profonde addiction. Toutefois, la nature pléiotrope de NF-κB rend son ciblage thérapeutique inenvisageable. Mon projet de thèse visait à caractériser de nouveaux régulateurs de la voie d’activation du facteur NF-κB par les récepteurs antigéniques en condition physiologique et pathologique. Dans un premier temps, grâce à un crible protéomique par spectrométrie de masse, nous avons identifié un complexe ternaire nommé LUBAC (Linear Ubiquitin Chain Assembly Complex) comme un acteur majeur de l’activation de NF-κB par le TCR et le BCR, et de la survie des lymphomes ABC DLBCL. Dans un second temps, le crible d’une librairie de mille deux cents molécules chimiques nous a permis d’isoler un composé sélectivement toxique in vitro pour les lymphomes ABC DLBCL. Nous montrons que ce composé entraine la mort apoptotique des ABC DLBCL sans toutefois affecter la signalisation NF-κB. Un tel composé pourrait, dans le futur, être utilisé comme une nouvelle molécule thérapeutique pour le traitement du lymphome ABC DLBCL.
The diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non Hodgkinien lymphoma. Two main different entities composed the DLBCL : the Activated B Cell-like subtype (ABC DLBCL) witch is the most aggressive and associated with a poor survival prognostic, and the Germinal-Center B Cell subtype (GCB DLBCL). Unlike the GCB DLBCL, ABC DLBCL are characterized by a genetic signature similar to activated B lymphocytes stimulated by their antigen receptor (BCR, B cell receptor) which results from mutations accumulation. As a consequence, ABC DLBCL survival and proliferation requires the constitutive activation of NF-κB transcription factors. Because NF-κB has pleiotropic effect on different tissues, strategies aiming at targeting NF-κB heterodimers might have deleterious consequences on an organism.My project focuses on identifying new modulators involved in antigen receptor mediated NF-κB activation in physiological and pathological condition.We first performed a mass spectrometry analysis and identified the LUBAC (Linear Ubiquitin Chain Assembly Complex) as a new regulator of antigen receptor mediated a NF-κB ctivation and ABC DLBCL survival. Then, we screened a library of one thousand two hundred chemical compounds on DLBCL viability and identified one compound selectively toxic in vitro…

▼ La survie des êtres vivants repose sur leur capacité d'adaptation à leur environnement et au maintien de l'homéostasie cellulaire. Au cours de mon doctorat, je me suis intéressée à deux de ces aspects : d'abord à la réponse immunitaire innée et inflammatoire par l'étude des voies associées aux facteurs de transcription NF-kB et ensuite à l'autophagie, qui consiste en la capacité d'une cellule à dégrader certains composants cellulaires ou des pathogènes intracellulaires. La rapidité d'activation/inactivation de ces processus cellulaires est permise par des modifications post-traductionnelles de certains acteurs parmi lesquelles l'ubiquitination des protéines, qui consiste en la liaison covalente de mono- ou polymères d'ubiquitines sur des protéines, et qui apparaît désormais comme un mécanisme majeur. Dans ce contexte, mes travaux ont consisté d'une part, en la mise en évidence de la fonction de la déubiquitinase USP36 dans la régulation de la voie immunitaire NF-B associée au récepteur 1 au TNFa (TNF-R1) en cellules humaines en culture. J'ai montré par des approches de biologie cellulaire et de biochimie qu'USP36 est un régulateur négatif spécifique de cette voie et est constitutivement associée au récepteur, contribuant ainsi à la régulation de l'ubiquitination de RIP1, un composant essentiel de la voie du TNF-R1. De cette étude, nous avons conclu qu'USP36 est un acteur clé de la voie du TNF-R1 permettant la répression de la voie en absence d'activation et favorisant un retour à l'état stationnaire en réponse à une stimulation au TNFa. D'autre part, mes travaux ont consisté en la réalisation d'un crible génétique in vivo chez la Drosophile pour l'identification de déubiquitinases impliquées dans la régulation de l'autophagie. J'ai identifié UBPY et USP12 dont la perte de fonction affecte à la fois la progression de l'autophagie et de l'endocytose. A partir de l'étude de ces enzymes, nous avons pu établir qu'une voie endocytaire intacte est requise pour le bon fonctionnement de l'autophagie.
The survival of living organisms is based on their ability to adapt to their environment and to maintain their cellular integrity. During my PhD, I was interested in two of these aspects: first, the innate immunity and inflammatory response through the study of the NF-kB-associated pathways, and then in autophagy, consisting in the ability of a cell to degrade some cellular components or intracellular pathogens. The rapid activation/inactivation of these cellular processes is permitted by the post-translational modifications of some components. Among these changes, protein ubiquitination, consisting in the covalent binding of ubiquitin mono- or polymers on target proteins, appears to be an essential mechanism. In this context, my work consisted on one hand, in showing the function of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP36 in the regulation of the immune pathway depending on the TNFa-associated receptor 1 (TNF -R1) pathway in cultured human cells. Using cellular and biochemical approaches, I showed that USP36 is a specific negative…

▼ The NFκB signaling pathway is a central regulator of inflammatory and immune responses in virtually all human cell and tissue types, and aberrant signaling by NFκB has been implicated in a wide array of disease states including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer’s disease among others. Inhibition of NFκB by binding of IκB proteins represents the most robust regulatory mechanism for controlling the initiation and duration of the NFκB signaling event. NFκB and IκB both denote families of dimeric transcription factors and their inhibitor proteins, respectively. NFκB transcription factors self associate to form functionally active dimers which then bind in a specific manner to different IκB family members.Here I present an extensive review of transcription factors and the NFκB pathway (Chapter I) to provide context for my work. I then describe a detailed analysis using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDXMS) to probe the impact of IκBα binding on the internal dynamics of the p50/RelA NFκB heterodimer and demonstrate that long-range conformational changes induced by IκBα binding are of central importance to the inhibitory nature of the IκBα binding event (Chapter II).Chapter III describes the first detailed biophysical analysis of the most recently discovered IκB protein, IκBε. I combined homology modeling and HDXMS to establish the presence of a seventh ankyrin repeat (AR) in IκBε and further provide a framework for utilizing HDXMS as a tool to complement homology modeling of proteins with no known structures. After identifying the seventh AR in IκBε, I performed the first comprehensive examination of IκBε’s ability to bind all NFκB dimers and the biophysical consequences on IκBε’s internal dynamics upon binding to its preferred NFκB dimers (Chapter IV). Finally, to further probe the interaction of IκBε with its preferred NFκB binding partners, I describe the impact of IκBε binding on the dynamics of the cRel heterodimers which are the NFκB proteins which bind IκBε with the highest affinity and discover the importance of entropic forces in driving these high affinity interactions (Chapter V).

▼ Pneumocystis (Pc) is an atypical fungal pathogen
which causes severe, often fatal, pneumonia (PcP) in
immunocompromised patients and remains a hallmark opportunistic
infection in AIDS and other immunodeficient persons. Healthy human
populations also encounter this pathogen and are able to clear
infection without symptoms in a CD4+ T cell dependent mechanism
which results in the generation of a protective antibody response.
A widely described characteristic of Pneumocystis pneumonia in both
humans and animal models is the tight attachment Pneumocystis
organisms to alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). In vitro stimulation
of AECs with Pneumocystis activates the NF-κB pathway resulting in
AEC production of chemokines and cytokines. However, the
consequences of this interaction for the in vivo host response to
Pneumocystis are unclear. To test the hypothesis that
NF-B-dependent AEC responses play a critical role in initiating the
anti-Pneumocystis immune response in vivo, we developed transgenic
mice with AEC-specific deletion of Inhibitor of B Kinase 2
(IKK2AEC), the upstream kinase that is critical for inducible NF-B
activation. Loss of epithelial IKK2 resulted in delayed onset of
Th17 pulmonary immune responses, delayed B cell responses, and
delayed fungal clearance compared to wild type mice. Importantly,
the clearance of Pneumocystis infection from the lungs of IKK2AEC
mice was associated with an exacerbated immune response, impaired
pulmonary function, and histological evidence of fibrosis. These
data demonstrate an in vivo role for AECs and IKK2-dependent AEC
responses in the immune response to Pneumocystis, and suggest that
AECs may set the threshold for initiation of the immune response to
respiratory fungal infection.

▼ Ectromelia virus (ECTV) is the causative agent of
lethal mousepox, and is highly related to the human pathogen,
variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. Poxviruses contain
large dsDNA genomes that encode numerous open reading frames that
manipulate cellular signalling pathways. We used bioinformatics to
identify a family of four genes encoded by ECTV that contain
N-terminal ankyrin repeats in conjunction with a C-terminal F-box
domain. The ECTV encoded ankyrin/F-box proteins: EVM002, EVM005,
EVM154 and EVM165, all interact with the cellular SCF
(Skp1/Cul-1/F-box) ubiquitin ligase complex through an interaction
mediated by their C-terminal F-box domain. These four proteins bind
to the SCF complex in a similar manner to cellular F-box-containing
substrate adaptor proteins. We hypothesize that each of the ECTV
encoded ankyrin/F-box proteins recruits a unique family of target
proteins to the SCF complex for ubiquitylation. The NF-κB
signalling cascade is an important mediator of innate immunity, and
is tightly regulated by ubiquitylation. A critical step in the
activation of NF-κB is the ubiquitylation and degradation of the
inhibitor of kappaB (IκBα), by the cellular SCFβ-TRCP ubiquitin
ligase. Upon stimulation with TNFα or IL-1β, orthopoxvirus-infected
cells display an accumulation of phosphorylated IκBα, indicating
that NF-κB activation is inhibited during poxvirus infection at the
point of IκBα degradation. Since degradation of IκBα is catalyzed
by the SCFβ-TRCP ubiquitin ligase complex we investigated the role
of the ECTV encoded ankyrin/F-box proteins in the regulation of
NF-κB activation. Expression of Flag-EVM005 inhibited both IκBα
degradation and p65 nuclear translocation in response to TNFα or
IL-1β. Regulation of the NF-κB pathway by EVM005 was dependent on
the F-box domain, and interaction with the SCF complex.
Additionally, we created ECTV knockout viruses devoid of each of
the four ankyrin/F-box genes using a novel “Selectable and
Excisable Marker” system. The EVM005 deletion virus was shown to
inhibit NF-κB activation despite lacking the EVM005 open reading
frame; however, this virus was attenuated in two mouse strains. The
contribution of EVM005 to virulence is therefore independent from
its ability to inhibit NF-κB activation, and is potentially linked
to unique target proteins ubiquitylated through the SCF complex
during infection.

▼ Molecular Biology and Genetics
Opioid receptor modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine production is vital for host defense and the inflammatory response. Previous results have shown the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) selective agonist, DAMGO, has the capacity to increase the expression of the pro-inflammatory chemokines, CCL2/MCP-1, CCL5/RANTES and CXCL10/IP-10 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We have shown that MOR activation is able to induce the expression of TGF-β, and TGF-β appears to be required for induction of CCL5 following MOR activation. This work suggests a novel role for TGF-β in the inflammatory response. NF-κB is a transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in inflammation and the immune response. We have found that NF-kB inhibitors can prevent the MOR-induced activation of CCL2 and CCL5, and that the NF-kB subunit, p65, is phosphorylated at serine residues 311 and 536 in response to μ-opioid receptor activation. In vivo, DAMGO administration can induce binding of p. 65 to the enhancer region of the CCL2 promoter. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PKCζ is phosphorylated following DAMGO-induced MOR activation and, is essential for NF-kB activity as well as CCL2 expression and transcriptional activity. In conclusion, these data suggest a pro-inflammatory role for MOR which involves NF-κB activation and PKCζ as well as a novel role for TGF-β as a regulator of pro-inflammatory chemokines.

▼ Objective: Obesity has become a major worldwide health issue over the past few years and often leads to insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue (AT) during obesity contributes to inflammation and IR. In the decade since macrophages were shown to accumulate in AT, the majority of studies have focused on recruitment-dependent mechanisms for their accrual. However, recent evidence suggests that recruitment-independent mechanisms, including increased proliferation and decreased egress, may also regulate pro-inflammatory AT macrophage (ATM) numbers. Interestingly the regulation of longevity in ATM accrual in obesity had not been explored. The work in my dissertation shows that increased ATM survival during obesity is a recruitment-independent mechanism that contributes to ATM accumulation. Results: My studies demonstrated that cleaved caspase 3 activation is significantly reduced in the ATMs of diet-induced and genetically obese mice. This data suggests that activation of apoptotic pathways is significantly reduced in ATMs from diet-induced and genetically obese mice. Concurrently, pro-survival Bcl-2 family member protein levels and localization to the mitochondria was elevated in ATMs from obese mice. Conversely, the activities of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak were decreased in ATMs from obese compared to lean mice. Interestingly, this increased pro-survival signaling in obese ATMs was associated with elevated activation of the p65 subunit of the transcription factor,
NF-κB. Furthermore,
NF-κB was more nuclear localized in ATMs of obese mice, resulting in increased expression of
NF-κB pro-survival target genes, XIAP and cIAP. Finally, an obesogenic milieu increased ATM viability only when
NF-κB signaling pathways were functional. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that obesity promotes survival of inflammatory ATMs, possibly through an
NF-κB-regulated mechanism.

▼ Arrested lung development in preterm infants leads to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Inflammation and
NF-κB activation in the fetal lung inhibit airway morphogenesis and contribute to BPD. The mesenchymal growth factor FGF-10 is crucial for normal airway branching and is decreased in lungs of patients with BPD. I therefore hypothesized that when activated,
NF-κB disrupts normal FGF-10 transcription. I discovered that FGF-10 is in fact downregulated by
NF-κB activation, but in an indirect manner. Further analysis of the FGF-10 promoter revealed many sites consistent with regulation by Sp proteins. Experiments revealed that Sp1 and Sp3 also regulate FGF-10; Sp1 activates transcription, while Sp3 downregulates Sp1-mediated expression. I further discovered that Sp3 and the
NF-κB dimer interact during FGF-10 suppression, suggesting that
NF-κB recruits Sp3 to the FGF-10 promoter. This is a novel mechanism of gene regulation in the developing lung.

▼ Coronaviruses are the largest known RNA viruses and infect a wide range of hosts. Human coronaviruses traditionally have been known to be the cause of the common cold and have been vastly understudied due to low morbidity and mortality. The emergence of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV has altered the landscape of coronavirus research and proven the deadly capabilities of human coronaviruses. With two recent zoonotic events, it is increasingly important to understand the molecular biology of human coronaviruses. The coronavirus nucleocapsid protein is an essential structural protein that complexes with the viral genome. Though nucleocapsid formation is the protein’s major role, it has also been found to have other functions and effects during infection. The following research aimed to examine how the human coronavirus nucleocapsid protein affects the innate immune response in vitro. Modulation of the type I interferon response by the nucleocapsid was first investigated and the nucleocapsids were shown to have the ability to block interferon signalling. Additionally, the nucleocapsid protein was found to cause a dysregulation of transcription factor NFKB1. We propose a novel mechanism of this NFKB1 negative regulation interference. Taken together, we have further characterized the significant role of the coronavirus nucleocapsid protein in innate immune evasion.

▼ The retina is an immune-privileged organ. Many autoimmune diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, are caused by excessive inflammatory responses targeting self-tissue. The physiological functions of extracellular and intracellular signaling molecules of immune responses have been well characterized. The epigenetic aspects of these molecules in the retina, however, have not been well elucidated. In this study, we examined the expression of selected immune-related genes, and their transcriptional accessibility via epigenetic mapping, cluster analysis, and RT-PCR. Among these genes, interleukin receptor related genes and intracellular signaling molecules exhibit higher transcriptional accessibility. Epigenetic mapping of the toll-like receptor (Tlr) family revealed that 3 out of 13 Tlrs exhibit H3K4me2 accumulation during retina development, suggesting that Tlr2, Tlr3, and Tlr9 are the only Tlr members expressed in the retina. Most of the
NF-κB signaling molecules exhibited transcriptional accessibility, implying their essential roles in inflammatory regulation during retina maturation. We have also identified two isoforms each of two
NF-κB negative feedback regulator genes, Tnfaip3/A20 and Pcbp2, as well as another
NF-κB negative feedback regulator gene, Trafd1, that are differentially expressed in mouse retina and spleen in response to lipopolysaccharide treatment.

▼ In organisms from insects to vertebrates, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary pathogen detectors that activate downstream pathways, specifically those that direct expression of innate immune effector genes. TLRs also have roles in development in many species. The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is a useful cnidarian model to study the origins of TLR signaling because its genome encodes a single TLR and homologs of many downstream signaling components, including the
NF-κB pathway. In this dissertation, the single N. vectensis TLR (Nv-TLR) is characterized. It is demonstrated that Nv-TLR can activate canonical
NF-κB signaling in human cells, the intracellular TIR domain of Nv-TLR can interact with human TLR adapter proteins MAL and MYD88, and the TIR domain of Nv-TLR is required for
NF-κB activation. It is shown that the coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus causes a rapidly lethal disease in N. vectensis and that heat-inactivated V. coralliilyticus and bacterial flagellin can activate a reconstituted Nv-TLR-to-
NF-κB pathway in human cells. By immunostaining of anemones, Nv-TLR is shown to be expressed in a subset of cnidocytes and many of these Nv-TLR-positive cells also express Nv-
NF-κB. Additionally, the nematosome, which is a Nematostella-specific multicellular structure, expresses Nv-TLR, many innate immune pathway homologs, and can engulf V. coralliilyticus. Morpholino knockdown indicates that Nv-TLR also has an essential role during early embryonic development. The characterization of this primitive TLR and identification of a bacterial pathogen for N. vectensis reveal ancient TLR functions and provide a novel model for studying the molecular basis of cnidarian disease and immunity.

▼ TRAIL is a member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor superfamily which was shown to be able to induce apoptotic cell death in a wide variety of transformed cells, leaving normal, healthy cells unharmed. However, approximately 50-60% of the cancer cells were shown to be resistant to the cytotoxic effect of TRAIL, a large number of chemotherapeutics are being studied to broaden the efficacy of TRAIL. However the effect of these co-treatments on non-transformed cells is unpredictable as at present we do not have a proper understanding on the regulation behind the resistance of normal cells to TRAIL.
Preliminary works in our lab showed that in primary non-transformed cells TRAIL resistance is maintained by multiple anti-apoptotic proteins. In order to overcome the resistance toward TRAIL-induced apoptosis, the pathway has to be inhibited at two different stages by removal of anti-apoptotic proteins (cFLIP, Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-XL or XIAP). Using different transcription site searches we have identified the transcription factor Sp1 as a candidate for maintaining the expression levels of these anti-apoptotic proteins, which in turn is regulated by the activity of GSK3 and CDK1. In contrast to the observed redundancy in resistance mechanism to TRAIL seen in non-transformed cell lines, the majority of the cancer cell lines tend to rely on a single mechanism of resistance against TRAIL. This redundancy in TRAIL resistance in non-transformed cells indicate that there is a safe therapeutic window using TRAIL-based combination therapies, which targets a single, dominating resistance pathway. However knowledge of the mechanism of resistance should aid the choice of therapy.
TRAIL also activates non-apoptotic/inflammatory signaling, such as the
NF-
kappaB pathway which in certain cases may drive the resistance to TRAIL. In order to examine the involvement of this non-apoptotic pathway in TRAIL signaling, a reliable inhibitor would be needed that is able to uncouple the death ligand-mediated canonical
NF-
kappaB activation from apoptosis signaling. Using computer-aided drug design we have performed several virtual screening methods to identify lead molecules that would be able to break up the interaction between TRADD and TRAF2 and thus selectively block death receptor induced

▼ Protein-protein interactions (PPI) mediate numerous biological processes, but inhibiting these interactions with small molecules has been difficult to achieve in drug discovery. A small number of successes have shown that some PPIs are amenable to inhibition. Computational algorithms designed to measure the druggability of PPIs have been developed based on these successes. These algorithms have identified the interaction between the NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) and I𝜅B kinase β (IKKβ) as a candidate for inhibition. Furthermore, in vivo peptide-based inhibition of the NEMO-IKKβ interface has shown benefits in attenuating the NF-𝜅B response in cellular and animal models. In addition to its intrinsic interest as a drug target, developing inhibitors against the NEMO/IKKβ interaction may help in the development of improved methods for PPI inhibition.
In this thesis, the production of full-length, recombinant forms of soluble NEMO is described. This protein was used in a variety of biochemical assays to advance our understanding of NEMO structure and function. Furthermore, a fluorescence anisotropy (FA) assay was developed to screen for compounds inhibiting the NEMO/IKKβ PPI. Hits from the FA assay were tested by several methods to confirm true inhibition. Additionally, the FA assay was used to accurately measure the affinity of NEMO for IKKβ and to assess the degree of cooperativity in IKKβ binding. The oligomeric state of NEMO has been characterized through the development of a panel of NEMO cysteine to alanine mutants, using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, analytical ultracentrifugation, and fluorescence anisotropy. These data represent the first comprehensive characterization of full-length human NEMO, and may provide a path toward development of drug-like inhibitors of the NEMO/IKKβ interaction.

▼ The findings from the current study concluded a cytokine-dependent regulation of astroglial CXCL10 and iNOS expression by alpha-synuclein and neuromelanin. Alpha-synuclein induced the expression of CXCL10 in both IL-1beta- and TNFalpha-stimulated astroglial cells, however, this enhancement by alpha-synuclein was not demonstrated for the mRNA. Studies revealed the ability of alpha-synuclein to mediate an increase in mRNA stability, which may be, in part, the mechanism responsible for the increase in CXCL10 protein expression. The
NF-
kappaB signaling pathway was not activated by alpha-synuclein under similar treatments that induced CXCL10 expression yet was activated in thevpresence of other alpha-synuclein concentrations, suggesting the expression of other inflammatory mediators besides CXCL10 may be modulated by alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein also increased astroglial iNOS expression, further supporting the inflammation-mediated effects by alpha-synuclein.Investigation of role of NM on astroglial chemokine expression revealed a down-regulation of CXCL10 protein expression with a reduction in
NF-
kappaB activation, suggesting a possible mechanism responsible for decrease in CXCL10 protein. NM enhanced cytokine-induced iNOS expression in the presence of astrocytes; however, further studies need to be conducted to understand the mechanism.Overall, the findings provide an initial understanding of the effects of PD-associated molecules and inflammation on human brain cells. The regulation of astroglial-derived inflammatory mediators by extracellular alpha-synuclein and neuromelanin may play a role in PD-associated neuroinflammation. The observations provide novelinformation that may be useful in identifying molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in PD.

▼ Vaccinia virus (VV), a member of the poxvirus family of double-stranded DNA viruses, is well-known as a highly effective vaccine against variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. Poxviruses encode many strategies to evade the host immune and anti-viral response. One such host anti-viral response, activation of the double-stranded RNA activated protein kinase (PKR) pathway, is important in sensing the presence of intracellular viral genomes and their products. PKR is activated by dsRNA, a by-product of many virus infections, and exhibits its anti-viral effects in part via inhibition of protein synthesis and activation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor
NF-κB. I have identified the vaccinia virus K1 protein as an inhibitor of PKR activation. I determined that the C-terminal portion of the 2nd ankyrin repeat, a motif important for protein-protein interactions, is important for this inhibitory function. Further, K1 mediated PKR inhibition also blocks activation of downstream
NF-κB in VV infected cells.
Previous characterization of the K1 protein identified it as a host-range protein required for a productive infection. When the K1L gene is absent, replication is aborted due to shut-down in viral protein synthesis. I queried whether PKR was responsible for this effect. I found that replication when K1 was lacking could not be rescued by depletion of PKR protein levels. Hence K1 inhibition of PKR is not related to the host-range function.
I next identified that the trigger for PKR activation is viral dsRNAs derived from early or intermediate viral transcription. As early dsRNAs have never been reported during a poxvirus infection, this finding was novel. Further, I found that there were higher levels of dsRNA present during a VV infection when K1 was absent or mutated. Finally, ectopic expression of K1 was able to inhibit PKR activation induced by viral dsRNAs. Together these data identifies a new function for the K1 protein and elucidates a strategy viruses utilize to inhibit detrimental host cell responses.

▼ NF-??B, a potent pro-inflammatory cellular transcription factor, is an inhibition target for many viruses, including the prototypic poxvirus member, vaccinia virus (VACV). However, infection of HEK293T cells with the attenuated Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) no longer inhibits
NF-??B activation, due to the absence of various host range and immunosuppressive genes in this strain. The work presented here focused on investigating the viral molecular mechanism responsible for the activation of
NF-??B.
To that end, we found that infection with MVA in the presence of AraC, a drug that inhibits viral DNA replication and intermediate and late gene expression, results in
NF-??B nuclear translocation. However, under conditions where either viral entry is blocked, the virions are inactivated, or viral mRNA synthesis is prevented,
NF-??B remains inactive in virus-infected cells. Thus, early viral gene transcription is responsible for MVA-triggered
NF-??B activation.
To identify the viral ORF(s) whose products activate
NF-??B during MVA infection, we first tested a VACV plasmid library to identify which viral ORF could activate a
NF-??B-controlled firefly luciferase gene. We then utilized chemically synthesized siRNAs, testing the effect of silencing each of the viral genes individually on MVA-induced
NF-??B activation in these cells. Three viral genes (C11R, E7R, and A35R) have been identified whose silencing can prevent MVA-induced ERK1/2 activation, which occurs upstream of
NF-??B activation.
The product of C11R, a viral growth factor protein, is capable of inducing ERK1/2 and
NF-??B activation in the host 293T cells when it is expressed ectopically. Furthermore, infection with a deletion mutant virus, MVA??C11R, resulted in reduced ERK2 phosphorylation and
NF-??B activation compared to cells infected with the parental MVA strain. This reduction was observed in both 293T cells and in keratenocyte cell line, HaCaT, indicating the C11R protein product modulates viral-induced
NF-??B activation in multiple cell types. Future work should focus on the molecular pathway utilized by C11 and the additional contributions the E7 and A35 proteins have in MVA-induced
NF-??B activation.

▼ Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains are
common etiological agents of diarrhea. Diarrheagenic E. coli are
classified into enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), Shiga
toxin-producing E. coli (STEC or enterohemorrhagic E. coli [EHEC]),
enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC),
enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), diffuse-adherent E. coli (DAEC),
and adherent invasive E. coli (AIEC). In addition to encoding
toxins that cause diarrhea, diarrheagenic E. coli have evolved
numerous strategies to interfere with host defenses.
In the first
project, we identified an ETEC-secreted factor (ESF) that blocked
TNF-induced
NF-[kappa]B activation. One of the consequences of
TNF-induced
NF-[kappa]B activation is the production of
pro-inflammatory cytokines that help to eliminate pathogens.
Modulation of
NF-[kappa]B signaling may promote ETEC colonization
of the host small intestine. In this study, we fractionated ETEC
supernatants and identified flagellin as necessary and sufficient
for blocking the degradation of the
NF-[kappa]B inhibitor
I[kappa]B[alpha] in response to TNF[alpha].
In the second
project, we attempted to identify an ETEC cAMP importer. ETEC
diarrhea leads to cAMP release into the lumen of the small
intestine. cAMP is a key secondary messenger that regulates ETEC
adhesin expression. We hypothesized that a cAMP importer is present
in ETEC, accounting for its hypersensitivity to extracellular cAMP.
We used Tn5 transposome-mediated mutagenesis to construct a mutant
library and screen for cAMP-hyporesponsive mutants. However, none
of the 17,956 mutants we screened were cAMP-hyporesponsive.
In
the third project, we focused on gut microbiota and the T3SS
effector NleH. We used the mouse-specific pathogen C. rodentium and
transplanted performed microbiota between different mouse strains.
We evaluated microbiota populations as a function of infection with
WT and [Delta]nleH C. rodentium strains before and after microbiota
transplantation. Microbiota transfer altered the resistance to WT
C. rodentium infection in C57BL/10ScNJ mice and the NleH effector
promoted host resistance to C. rodentium.

▼ TNFα contributes to type 1 diabetes pathogenesis by impairing beta cell function and driving beta cell apoptosis. How TNFα directs these processes is not fully understood. Of note, baculoviral-IAP-repeat-containing (BIRC) proteins associate with the TNF complex to control down stream signaling but their function in beta cells is not known. Following TNF receptor ligation, Birc3 but not Birc1,2,4,5 or -6 was induced in mouse islets and MIN6 cells. Contact with TNFα triggers signaling cascades converging on the
NF-κB, JNK, and p38 pathways that regulate inflammatory genes. The Birc3-promoter harboured three
NF-κB and an AP-1 binding sites. Induction of endogenous Birc3 by TNFα was completely blocked by
NF-κB inhibitors - thus
NF-κB regulates Birc3 transcription. Further, BIRC3 gain-of-function induced activation of an
NF-κB reporter and potentiated TNFα-induced
NF-κB activation. Surprisingly, Birc3-/- islets showed delayed but functional
NF-κB activation and exhibited dysregulated TNFα-induced Ccl2, Cxcl10 and Icam-1. Some data demonstrate BIRC2 can compensate for loss of BIRC3. Expectedly, Birc2-/-Birc3-/- islets showed markedly delayed IκBα degradation kinetics; suggesting that BIRC2/3 are crucial for
NF-κB signaling. Remarkably, Birc2-/- and Birc3-/- islets showed unexpected phenotypes independent of
NF-κB. Genetic analysis showed Birc2-/- islets exhibited increased basal Ccl2 and Cxcl10 expression. Cell signaling was further dysregulated by the addition of BIRC3 deficiency. Birc2-/-Birc3-/- islets exhibited increased basal A20, Icam-1, Ccl2 and Cxcl10, which were blocked by antagonizing JNK but not
NF-κB or p38 pathway. Moreover, Birc2-/-Birc3-/- islets showed hyperphosphorylation of the JNK-target, c-Jun. BIRC proteins ubiquitinate substrates targeting them for proteosomal degradation. Proteosome inhibition in MIN6 cells mimicked the Birc2-/-Birc3-/- islet phenotype increased basal Cxcl10, Ccl2 and Icam-1 expression with c-Jun-hyperphosphorylation. Birc2-/-Birc3-/- islets transplanted into diabetic-allogeneic recipients showed rapid loss of function indicative of dysregulated stress response. We propose that loss of BIRC2/3 uncoupled molecular control of inflammatory genes from TNF-signaling cascades. These present data demonstrate a novel, cell specific role for BIRC2 and BIRC3 as molecular rheostat that fine-tune
NF-κB and JNK signaling to ensure transcriptional responses are appropriately matched to extra-cellular inputs. These pathways may be critical for beta cell stress responses.

▼ Loss of pancreatic β cell mass and function is a feature of both type-1 and type-2 diabetes. The non-canonical
NF-κB pathway has recently garnered attention at being involved in the development of peripheral insulin resistance (liver, muscle) in diabetes. Whether pancreatic β cell non-canonical
NF-κB signalling contributes to glucose homeostasis and diabetes is unknown. We found that the non-canonical
NF-κB pathway was activated in islets from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice compared to chow controls, as evidenced by accumulation of
NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), IKKα phosphorylation, p100 to p52 processing and RelB accumulation. To examine the effect of NIK accumulation in β cells, we generated a genetic β cell-specific mouse model of constitutive NIK activation. The TRAF2/TRAF3/BIRC2/3 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex tightly controls activation of NIK. Deletion of either component (βTRAF or βBIRC) promotes β cell-intrinsic NIK activation. βTRAF2 mice showed exacerbated glucose intolerance and impaired first-phase insulin secretion in a DIO model. β cell mass was increased in βTRAF2 mice, indicating severely impaired insulin secretory capacity. βTRAF2 islets exhibited dysregulated TNFα-stimulated canonical
NF-κB and MAPK signalling. To dissect out whether NIK activation was promoting β cell dysfunction, we next utilized a β cell-specific deletion of TRAF3. βTRAF3 mice phenocopied βTRAF2 mice showing defective first-phase insulin secretion and increased β cell mass. βTRAF3 islets exhibited hyper-activation of NIK but normal TNFα-stimulated canonical
NF-κB and MAPK signalling. Next, we set out to determine whether increased β cell expansion in NIK ON mice per se might trigger β cell dysfunction or whether acute NIK activation would also alter β cell function. Using a drug-based approach, we examined function in islets treated with a BIRC-inhibitor (MV1; Smac-mimetic). Ex vivo, MV1-treated mouse islets showed impaired GSIS. In vivo, MV1 disrupted glucose homeostasis as MV1-treated islets failed to provide normal metabolic control in syngeneic transplant recipients, and MV1-injected zebrafish larvae exhibited hyper-glycosuria. In summary, we have discovered that the diabetic milieu triggers β cell-intrinsic NIK activation. Constitutive as well as acute activation of NIK precipitates β cell secretory defects in mice and fish. Thus, NIK is a critical signalling node regulating glucose homeostasis in diabetes.

▼ AbstractBackground and Significance: Evidence from
large-scale clinical studies shows a paradoxical relationship
between a high fat diet and myocardial pathophysiology. Termed the
`obesity paradox’, data from these studies indicate that obesity
and a high BMI have an inverse relationship with mortality after
myocardial infarction (MI), even with increased risk for an initial
coronary event. Chronically, high fat diets lead to dyslipidemia,
obesity-induced inflammation, adipogenesis, glucose resistance,
diabetes, and sustained elevation of serum cholesterol levels. This
work will investigate the discovery that cardioprotection against
ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury occurs after a very short
duration of high fat feeding. This timeline suggests that this
cardioprotection is independent from the chronic effects of high
fat feeding. Rather, there must be an acute effect, the nature of
which has not previously been studied. Objectives: These studies
investigated the effects of the high fat diet on infarct size
post-MI, on
NF-?B activation in the heart, and the potential
mechanistic relationship between
NF-?B and high fat diet (HFD)
induced cardioprotection. We hypothesize that
NF-?B is activated
acutely in the heart via high fat diet, and contributes to the
regulation of a cardioprotective gene network.
NF-?B is known to be
activated in inflammatory states and also is activated by specific
oxidized lipids in tissues.
NF-?B has been shown to play a pro-cell
death role in I/R as well as a protective role in ischemic
preconditioning. Thus, it is a likely mediator of the effects of a
high fat diet on cardiac myocyte signaling. Understanding this
mechanism is essential to revealing new therapeutic targets (genes
and their products) that can be manipulated to utilize
cardioprotection in the clinical setting. Major Findings: The
primary finding of this study shows that short-term high fat diet
elicits a cardioprotective effect against I/R injury. This effect
is attenuated with long term high fat feeding. Since short term
feeding does not present complications commonly found in chronic
high fat studies it presents a promising option for development
into clinical therapy. High fat mediated protection is predicated
on the activation of
NF-?B gene programs that contribute to the
upregulation of autophagy. This is commonly observed in
cardioprotective preconditioning phenomena. The activation of these
gene programs may be facilitated by neural-hormonal activation of
cell receptors via adiponectin, influential changes in intestinal
microflora and activation of serum-mediated events.Conclusions:
Acute high fat feeding is cardioprotective against I/R injury. A
regulatory checkpoint in this effect occurs at the level of
NF-?B
transcription. High fat feeding regulates activation of
NF-?B
profiles known to play a role in cardioprotection, including
HSP70.3 and Beclin-1. The induction of autophagic programs without
subsequent increase in apoptosis also contributes to this effect.
This activation is hypothesized to be due, in part, to the…

▼ A sepse envolve mecanismos complexos de respostas imunológicas e inflamatórias, e o papel do NF- B é essencial. A diminuição da NO sintase endotelial (eNOS) durante a sepse contribui com a disfunção endotelial. A eritropoietina (EPO) é uma citocina protetora de diversos tecidos durante o estresse. Investigamos o papel da EPO na injúria renal aguda (IRA) induzida pela sepse usando o modelo de ligadura e punção do ceco (LPC). Ratos Wistar foram divididos em três grupos: controle; LPC e LPC+EPO (EPO, 4.000UI/kg, administrada 24h e 1h antes da cirurgia). Com a finalidade de estudar os efeitos precoces e tardios da EPO sobre a IRA induzida pela sepse realizamos três etapas de experimentos: Primeira etapa: 24 horas após LPC; Segunda etapa: 48 horas após LPC; Terceira etapa: análise de sobrevida. No estudo precoce o grupo LPC+EPO apresentou clearance de inulina significativamente maior que o grupo LPC. Recuperou os níveis de hematócrito na sepse, melhorou a pressão arterial e a acidose metabólica. No estudo tardio o grupo LPC+EPO apresentou clearance de creatinina significativamente maior que o grupo LPC. Nesta fase tardia a EPO recuperou os níveis de eNOS, suprimiu a infiltração de macrófagos no tecido renal e inibiu a ativação do NF- B. A EPO protege a função renal e aumenta a sobrevida neste modelo de sepse. A proteção da EPO na sepse é dependente, em parte, da inibição do NF- B e do aumento da expressão de eNOS
The pathophysiology of sepsis involves complex cytokine and inflammatory mediator networks, a mechanism to which nuclear factor-kappa B (NF- B ) activation is central. Downregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) contributes to sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction. Erythropoietin (EPO) has emerged as a major tissue-protective cytokine in the setting of stress. We investigated the role of EPO in sepsis-related acute kidney injury (AKI) using a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (sham-operated); CLP-only; and CLP+EPO. The EPO (4000 IU/kg BW, i.p.) was administered 24 h and 1 h before CLP. To study the early and late effects of EPO on sepsis-induced AKI, we performed experiments at 24 h and 48 h after CLP/sham operation, and we plotted the survival curves. At post-procedure hour 24, CLP+EPO rats presented significantly higher inulin clearance than did CLP-only rats; EPO treatment restored hematocrit levels, as well as mean arterial pressure and metabolic balance. At post-procedure hour 48, CLP+EPO rats presented significantly higher creatinine clearance than did CLP-only rats; EPO treatment restored eNOS levels, suppressed macrophage infiltration, and inhibited NF-B activation,thereby increasing survival. In conclusion, EPO protects renal function and increases survival in this model of sepsis-induced AKI. This protection is dependent on eNOS activation and is partly due to inhibition of the inflammatory response via downregulation of NF- B

▼ Kohtaamme elinympäristössämme päivittäin monenlaisia mikrobeja. Vaikka useimmat niistä ovat meille haitattomia tai jopa hyödyllisiä, osa voi kuitenkin aiheuttaa sairauksia. Nisäkkäillä, joihin ihminenkin kuuluu, kyky puolustautua mikrobeja vastaan perustuu sekä synnynnäiseen että hankittuun immuniteettiin. Synnynnäinen immuniteetti on välttämätön niin infektioiden ehkäisyssä kuin hankitun immuunivasteen kehityksessä ja säätelyssä. Se perustuu perimän koodaamien proteiinien kykyyn tunnistaa erilaisia mikrobien pintarakenteita ja viestiä tästä soluille signalointireittien välityksellä. Eräs näistä signalointireiteistä, TNFR -signalointireitti, ja sen käynnistämä sytokiinieritys, ovat tarkkaan säädeltyjä ja välttämättömiä normaalille immuunivasteelle. Signaloinnin mekanismeja ja niiden säätelyä ei kuitenkaan vielä täysin tunneta.
Synnynnäisen immuniteetin signalointireitit ovat säilyneet hyvin evoluutiossa hyönteisistä ihmisiin. Siksi niiden toimintaa ja säätelyä tutkittaessa voidaan käyttää mallina kodeissakin biojäteastian liepeillä usein tavattavaa banaanikärpästä (Drosophila melanogaster). Banaanikärpäsen Imd-signalointireitti muistuttaa nisäkkäiden TNFR-signalointireittiä. Tässä tutkimusprojektissa pyrimme RNA-häirintää (RNAi) ja muita molekyylibiologian menetelmiä hyödyntäen tunnistamaan Imd-signalointireittiin kuuluvia ja sen säätelyyn osallistuvia proteiineja. Tutkimuksessa löydettiin kolme uutta säätelijää, Tab2, Iap2 ja Pirk. Näiden proteiinien toimintaa ja merkitystä banaanikärpäsen immuunivasteelle selvitettiin tarkemmin. Osoitimme kärpässolumallia apuna käyttäen, että Tab2 ja Iap2 ovat välttämättömiä Imd-signaloinnille. Lisäksi havaitsimme, että banaanikärpäset, joilta Iap2 on poistettu, ovat herkkiä Gram-negatiivisten bakteerien aiheuttamille infektioille. Pirk puolestaan on aiemmin tuntematon proteiini, jonka osoitimme hillitsevän Imd signalointia sekä solumallissa että elävissä kärpäsissä. Pirkin vaikutus oli niin tehokas, että geenin yli-ilmentäminen kärpäsissä riitti herkistämään ne Gram-negatiivisten bakteerien aiheuttamille infektioille.
Tehty tutkimus osoittaa, että Imd signalointi on tarkkaan säädeltyä ja aiempaa luultua monimutkaisempaa. Banaanikärpänen mallieläimenä tarjoaa mahdollisuuden tutkia tehokkaasti synnynnäisen immuniteetin säätelyä. Tab2:lla ja Iap2:lla on vastineensa myös nisäkkäissä, joten on mahdollista, että tutkimuksesta saadut tulokset tuovat uusia näkökulmia myös nisäkkäiden immuunisignaloinnin toiminnan selvittämiseen.; Innate immunity is the first line of defense against microbes and it is indispensable in preventing infections as well as in the development and regulation of the adaptive immune system. Innate immunity is based on the ability of genome-encoded proteins to recognize and bind microbial surface structures, which is followed by the activation of the innate immune response via various cell signaling pathways.
Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) signaling and cytokine release are strictly regulated and essential for a normal immune response. However, in certain…
