    NLRP3 inflammasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-30
    Description: The inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis is well established but the agent(s) that incite inflammation in the artery wall remain largely unknown. Germ-free animals are susceptible to atherosclerosis, suggesting that endogenous substances initiate the inflammation. Mature atherosclerotic lesions contain macroscopic deposits of cholesterol crystals in the necrotic core, but their appearance late in atherogenesis had been thought to disqualify them as primary inflammatory stimuli. However, using a new microscopic technique, we revealed that minute cholesterol crystals are present in early diet-induced atherosclerotic lesions and that their appearance in mice coincides with the first appearance of inflammatory cells. Other crystalline substances can induce inflammation by stimulating the caspase-1-activating NLRP3 (NALP3 or cryopyrin) inflammasome, which results in cleavage and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1 family cytokines. Here we show that cholesterol crystals activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in phagocytes in vitro in a process that involves phagolysosomal damage. Similarly, when injected intraperitoneally, cholesterol crystals induce acute inflammation, which is impaired in mice deficient in components of the NLRP3 inflammasome, cathepsin B, cathepsin L or IL-1 molecules. Moreover, when mice deficient in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) were bone-marrow transplanted with NLRP3-deficient, ASC (also known as PYCARD)-deficient or IL-1alpha/beta-deficient bone marrow and fed on a high-cholesterol diet, they had markedly decreased early atherosclerosis and inflammasome-dependent IL-18 levels. Minimally modified LDL can lead to cholesterol crystallization concomitant with NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation in macrophages. Although there is the possibility that oxidized LDL activates the NLRP3 inflammasome in vivo, our results demonstrate that crystalline cholesterol acts as an endogenous danger signal and its deposition in arteries or elsewhere is an early cause rather than a late consequence of inflammation. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and indicate new potential molecular targets for the therapy of this disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2946640/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2946640/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Duewell, Peter -- Kono, Hajime -- Rayner, Katey J -- Sirois, Cherilyn M -- Vladimer, Gregory -- Bauernfeind, Franz G -- Abela, George S -- Franchi, Luigi -- Nunez, Gabriel -- Schnurr, Max -- Espevik, Terje -- Lien, Egil -- Fitzgerald, Katherine A -- Rock, Kenneth L -- Moore, Kathryn J -- Wright, Samuel D -- Hornung, Veit -- Latz, Eicke -- R01 AI075318/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI083713/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI083713-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL093262/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL093262-01A1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 29;464(7293):1357-61. doi: 10.1038/nature08938.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20428172" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A long noncoding RNA mediates both activation and repression of immune response genes (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-03
    Description: An inducible program of inflammatory gene expression is central to antimicrobial defenses. This response is controlled by a collaboration involving signal-dependent activation of transcription factors, transcriptional co-regulators, and chromatin-modifying factors. We have identified a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that acts as a key regulator of this inflammatory response. Pattern recognition receptors such as the Toll-like receptors induce the expression of numerous lncRNAs. One of these, lincRNA-Cox2, mediates both the activation and repression of distinct classes of immune genes. Transcriptional repression of target genes is dependent on interactions of lincRNA-Cox2 with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B and A2/B1. Collectively, these studies unveil a central role of lincRNA-Cox2 as a broad-acting regulatory component of the circuit that controls the inflammatory response.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4376668/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4376668/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carpenter, Susan -- Aiello, Daniel -- Atianand, Maninjay K -- Ricci, Emiliano P -- Gandhi, Pallavi -- Hall, Lisa L -- Byron, Meg -- Monks, Brian -- Henry-Bezy, Meabh -- Lawrence, Jeanne B -- O'Neill, Luke A J -- Moore, Melissa J -- Caffrey, Daniel R -- Fitzgerald, Katherine A -- AI067497/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- GM053234/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI067497/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Aug 16;341(6147):789-92. doi: 10.1126/science.1240925.

    Requirement of JNK2 for scavenger receptor A-mediated foam cell formation in atherogenesis (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-11-30
    Description: In vitro studies suggest a role for c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) in proatherogenic cellular processes. We show that atherosclerosis-prone ApoE-/- mice simultaneously lacking JNK2 (ApoE-/- JNK2-/- mice), but not ApoE-/- JNK1-/- mice, developed less atherosclerosis than do ApoE-/- mice. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK activity efficiently reduced plaque formation. Macrophages lacking JNK2 displayed suppressed foam cell formation caused by defective uptake and degradation of modified lipoproteins and showed increased amounts of the modified lipoprotein-binding and -internalizing scavenger receptor A (SR-A), whose phosphorylation was markedly decreased. Macrophage-restricted deletion of JNK2 was sufficient to decrease atherogenesis. Thus, JNK2-dependent phosphorylation of SR-A promotes uptake of lipids in macrophages, thereby regulating foam cell formation, a critical step in atherogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ricci, Romeo -- Sumara, Grzegorz -- Sumara, Izabela -- Rozenberg, Izabela -- Kurrer, Michael -- Akhmedov, Alexander -- Hersberger, Martin -- Eriksson, Urs -- Eberli, Franz R -- Becher, Burkhard -- Boren, Jan -- Chen, Mian -- Cybulsky, Myron I -- Moore, Kathryn J -- Freeman, Mason W -- Wagner, Erwin F -- Matter, Christian M -- Luscher, Thomas F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 26;306(5701):1558-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cardiovascular Research, Institute of Physiology, and Division of Cardiology, University Hospital Zurich, CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland. romeo.ricci@cell.biol.ethz.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15567863" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mutations in the profilin 1 gene cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-07-18
    Description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder resulting from motor neuron death. Approximately 10% of cases are familial (FALS), typically with a dominant inheritance mode. Despite numerous advances in recent years, nearly 50% of FALS cases have unknown genetic aetiology. Here we show that mutations within the profilin 1 (PFN1) gene can cause FALS. PFN1 is crucial for the conversion of monomeric (G)-actin to filamentous (F)-actin. Exome sequencing of two large ALS families showed different mutations within the PFN1 gene. Further sequence analysis identified 4 mutations in 7 out of 274 FALS cases. Cells expressing PFN1 mutants contain ubiquitinated, insoluble aggregates that in many cases contain the ALS-associated protein TDP-43. PFN1 mutants also display decreased bound actin levels and can inhibit axon outgrowth. Furthermore, primary motor neurons expressing mutant PFN1 display smaller growth cones with a reduced F/G-actin ratio. These observations further document that cytoskeletal pathway alterations contribute to ALS pathogenesis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3575525/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3575525/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wu, Chi-Hong -- Fallini, Claudia -- Ticozzi, Nicola -- Keagle, Pamela J -- Sapp, Peter C -- Piotrowska, Katarzyna -- Lowe, Patrick -- Koppers, Max -- McKenna-Yasek, Diane -- Baron, Desiree M -- Kost, Jason E -- Gonzalez-Perez, Paloma -- Fox, Andrew D -- Adams, Jenni -- Taroni, Franco -- Tiloca, Cinzia -- Leclerc, Ashley Lyn -- Chafe, Shawn C -- Mangroo, Dev -- Moore, Melissa J -- Zitzewitz, Jill A -- Xu, Zuo-Shang -- van den Berg, Leonard H -- Glass, Jonathan D -- Siciliano, Gabriele -- Cirulli, Elizabeth T -- Goldstein, David B -- Salachas, Francois -- Meininger, Vincent -- Rossoll, Wilfried -- Ratti, Antonia -- Gellera, Cinzia -- Bosco, Daryl A -- Bassell, Gary J -- Silani, Vincenzo -- Drory, Vivian E -- Brown, Robert H Jr -- Landers, John E -- 1R01NS050557/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- 1R01NS065847/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS050557/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- RC2 NS070342/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- RC2-NS070-342/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007754/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U01 NS052225/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000454/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Aug 23;488(7412):499-503. doi: 10.1038/nature11280.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22801503" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    M-CSF instructs myeloid lineage fate in single haematopoietic stem cells (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-04-12
    Description: Under stress conditions such as infection or inflammation the body rapidly needs to generate new blood cells that are adapted to the challenge. Haematopoietic cytokines are known to increase output of specific mature cells by affecting survival, expansion and differentiation of lineage-committed progenitors, but it has been debated whether long-term haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are susceptible to direct lineage-specifying effects of cytokines. Although genetic changes in transcription factor balance can sensitize HSCs to cytokine instruction, the initiation of HSC commitment is generally thought to be triggered by stochastic fluctuation in cell-intrinsic regulators such as lineage-specific transcription factors, leaving cytokines to ensure survival and proliferation of the progeny cells. Here we show that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, also called CSF1), a myeloid cytokine released during infection and inflammation, can directly induce the myeloid master regulator PU.1 and instruct myeloid cell-fate change in mouse HSCs, independently of selective survival or proliferation. Video imaging and single-cell gene expression analysis revealed that stimulation of highly purified HSCs with M-CSF in culture resulted in activation of the PU.1 promoter and an increased number of PU.1(+) cells with myeloid gene signature and differentiation potential. In vivo, high systemic levels of M-CSF directly stimulated M-CSF-receptor-dependent activation of endogenous PU.1 protein in single HSCs and induced a PU.1-dependent myeloid differentiation preference. Our data demonstrate that lineage-specific cytokines can act directly on HSCs in vitro and in vivo to instruct a change of cell identity. This fundamentally changes the current view of how HSCs respond to environmental challenge and implicates stress-induced cytokines as direct instructors of HSC fate.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3679883/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3679883/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mossadegh-Keller, Noushine -- Sarrazin, Sandrine -- Kandalla, Prashanth K -- Espinosa, Leon -- Stanley, E Richard -- Nutt, Stephen L -- Moore, Jordan -- Sieweke, Michael H -- CA 32551/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA032551/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 May 9;497(7448):239-43. doi: 10.1038/nature12026.

    Mutations in prion-like domains in hnRNPA2B1 and hnRNPA1 cause multisystem proteinopathy and ALS (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-03-05
    Description: Algorithms designed to identify canonical yeast prions predict that around 250 human proteins, including several RNA-binding proteins associated with neurodegenerative disease, harbour a distinctive prion-like domain (PrLD) enriched in uncharged polar amino acids and glycine. PrLDs in RNA-binding proteins are essential for the assembly of ribonucleoprotein granules. However, the interplay between human PrLD function and disease is not understood. Here we define pathogenic mutations in PrLDs of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) A2B1 and A1 in families with inherited degeneration affecting muscle, brain, motor neuron and bone, and in one case of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Wild-type hnRNPA2 (the most abundant isoform of hnRNPA2B1) and hnRNPA1 show an intrinsic tendency to assemble into self-seeding fibrils, which is exacerbated by the disease mutations. Indeed, the pathogenic mutations strengthen a 'steric zipper' motif in the PrLD, which accelerates the formation of self-seeding fibrils that cross-seed polymerization of wild-type hnRNP. Notably, the disease mutations promote excess incorporation of hnRNPA2 and hnRNPA1 into stress granules and drive the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions in animal models that recapitulate the human pathology. Thus, dysregulated polymerization caused by a potent mutant steric zipper motif in a PrLD can initiate degenerative disease. Related proteins with PrLDs should therefore be considered candidates for initiating and perhaps propagating proteinopathies of muscle, brain, motor neuron and bone.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3756911/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3756911/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, Hong Joo -- Kim, Nam Chul -- Wang, Yong-Dong -- Scarborough, Emily A -- Moore, Jennifer -- Diaz, Zamia -- MacLea, Kyle S -- Freibaum, Brian -- Li, Songqing -- Molliex, Amandine -- Kanagaraj, Anderson P -- Carter, Robert -- Boylan, Kevin B -- Wojtas, Aleksandra M -- Rademakers, Rosa -- Pinkus, Jack L -- Greenberg, Steven A -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Traynor, Bryan J -- Smith, Bradley N -- Topp, Simon -- Gkazi, Athina-Soragia -- Miller, Jack -- Shaw, Christopher E -- Kottlors, Michael -- Kirschner, Janbernd -- Pestronk, Alan -- Li, Yun R -- Ford, Alice Flynn -- Gitler, Aaron D -- Benatar, Michael -- King, Oliver D -- Kimonis, Virginia E -- Ross, Eric D -- Weihl, Conrad C -- Shorter, James -- Taylor, J Paul -- 089701/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- AG031867/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- AG032953/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DP2OD002177/OD/NIH HHS/ -- G0900688/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- K02 AG042095/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- MC_G1000733/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- NS053825/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS067354/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 AG032953/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG031867/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS053825/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Mar 28;495(7442):467-73. doi: 10.1038/nature11922.

    MiR-33 contributes to the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-05-15
    Description: Cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated at the cellular level. Here we show that miR-33, an intronic microRNA (miRNA) located within the gene encoding sterol-regulatory element-binding factor-2 (SREBF-2), a transcriptional regulator of cholesterol synthesis, modulates the expression of genes involved in cellular cholesterol transport. In mouse and human cells, miR-33 inhibits the expression of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCA1, thereby attenuating cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A1. In mouse macrophages, miR-33 also targets ABCG1, reducing cholesterol efflux to nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Lentiviral delivery of miR-33 to mice represses ABCA1 expression in the liver, reducing circulating HDL levels. Conversely, silencing of miR-33 in vivo increases hepatic expression of ABCA1 and plasma HDL levels. Thus, miR-33 appears to regulate both HDL biogenesis in the liver and cellular cholesterol efflux.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3114628/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3114628/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rayner, Katey J -- Suarez, Yajaira -- Davalos, Alberto -- Parathath, Saj -- Fitzgerald, Michael L -- Tamehiro, Norimasa -- Fisher, Edward A -- Moore, Kathryn J -- Fernandez-Hernando, Carlos -- 1P30HL101270-01/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 HL101270/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG020255/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG020255-09/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG02055/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01HL074136/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01HL084312/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Jun 18;328(5985):1570-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1189862.

    Description: Several recent studies link parental environments to phenotypes in subsequent generations. In this work, we investigate the mechanism by which paternal diet affects offspring metabolism. Protein restriction in mice affects small RNA (sRNA) levels in mature sperm, with decreased let-7 levels and increased amounts of 5' fragments of glycine transfer RNAs (tRNAs). In testicular sperm, tRNA fragments are scarce but increase in abundance as sperm mature in the epididymis. Epididymosomes (vesicles that fuse with sperm during epididymal transit) carry RNA payloads matching those of mature sperm and can deliver RNAs to immature sperm in vitro. Functionally, tRNA-glycine-GCC fragments repress genes associated with the endogenous retroelement MERVL, in both embryonic stem cells and embryos. Our results shed light on sRNA biogenesis and its dietary regulation during posttesticular sperm maturation, and they also link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the preimplantation embryo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sharma, Upasna -- Conine, Colin C -- Shea, Jeremy M -- Boskovic, Ana -- Derr, Alan G -- Bing, Xin Y -- Belleannee, Clemence -- Kucukural, Alper -- Serra, Ryan W -- Sun, Fengyun -- Song, Lina -- Carone, Benjamin R -- Ricci, Emiliano P -- Li, Xin Z -- Fauquier, Lucas -- Moore, Melissa J -- Sullivan, Robert -- Mello, Craig C -- Garber, Manuel -- Rando, Oliver J -- DP1ES025458/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/ -- R01HD080224/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000161/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR001453/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Jan 22;351(6271):391-6. doi: 10.1126/science.aad6780.

    Description: The error performances of several digital signaling methods are determined as a function of a specified signal-to-noise ratio. Results are obtained for Gaussian noise and impulse noise. Performance of a receiver for differentially encoded biphase signaling is obtained by extending the results of differential phase shift keying. The analysis presented obtains a closed-form answer through the use of some simplifying assumptions. The results give an insight into the analysis problem, however, the actual error performance may show a degradation because of the assumptions made in the analysis. Bipolar signaling decision-threshold selection is investigated. The optimum threshold depends on the signal-to-noise ratio and requires the use of an adaptive receiver.
