Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium was identified as "tumor-like" tissues because of the hypoxic microenvironment, significant cell proliferation, and invasion phenotypes. It was reported that hypoxia promoted tumor aggressiveness via up-regulated expression of fascin-1 in cancer. However, the role of fascin-1 in RA synovial hyperplasia and joint injury progression remains unknown. In the current study, we first identified that both fascin-1 and HIF-1α were highly expressed in the RA synovium, in which they were widely colocalized, compared to osteoarthritis(OA). As well, levels of fascin-1 in RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLSs) were found significantly higher than those in OA FLSs. Further, it was demonstrated that the mRNA and protein levels of fascin-1 in RA FLSs were up-regulated in hypoxia (3 % O2) and experimental hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride. Mechanistically, the HIF-1α-mediated hypoxia environment activated the gene expression of the fascin-1 protein, which in turn promoted the migration and invasion of RA FLSs. Accordingly, the restoration of FLSs migration and invasion was observed following siRNA-mediated silencing of fascin-1 and HIF-1α expression. Notably, under the experimental hypoxia, we found that the expression levels of fascin-1, HIF-1α, and p-STAT3 were increased in a time-dependent manner, and fascin-1and HIF-1α expressions were dependent on p-STAT3. Our results indicated that hypoxia-induced fascin-1 up-regulation promoted RA FLSs migration and invasion through the STAT3/HIF-1α/fascin-1 axis, which might represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of RA.

Matsumura F, Polz R, Singh S, Matsumura A, Scheller J, Yamashiro S. Investigation of Fascin1, a Marker of Mature Dendritic Cells, Reveals a New Role for IL-6 Signaling in CCR7-Mediated Chemotaxis. JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY (BALTIMORE, MD. : 1950) 2021; 207:938-949. [PMID: 34301846 PMCID: PMC8360331 DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.2000318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Migration of mature dendritic cells (DCs) to lymph nodes is critical for the initiation of adaptive immunity. CCR7, a G-protein-coupled receptor for CCL19/21 chemokines, is known to be essential for chemotaxis of mature DCs, but the molecular mechanism linking inflammation to chemotaxis remains unclear. We previously demonstrated that fascin1, an actin-bundling protein, increases chemotaxis of mature mouse DCs. In this article, we demonstrated that fascin1 enhanced IL-6 secretion and signaling of mature mouse DCs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that IL-6 signaling is required for chemotaxis. Blockage of IL-6 signaling in wild-type DCs with an anti-IL-6 receptor α (IL-6Rα) Ab inhibited chemotaxis toward CCL19. Likewise, knockout of IL-6Rα inhibited chemotaxis of bone marrow-derived DCs. The addition of soluble IL-6Rα and IL-6 rescued chemotaxis of IL-6Rα knockout bone marrow-derived DCs, underscoring the role of IL-6 signaling in chemotaxis. We found that IL-6 signaling is required for internalization of CCR7, the initial step of CCR7 recycling. CCR7 recycling is essential for CCR7-mediated chemotaxis, explaining why IL-6 signaling is required for chemotaxis of mature DCs. Our results have identified IL-6 signaling as a new regulatory pathway for CCR7/CCL19-mediated chemotaxis and suggest that rapid migration of mature DCs to lymph nodes depends on inflammation-associated IL-6 signaling.

IL-10-Dependent Crosstalk between Murine Marginal Zone B Cells, Macrophages, and CD8α + Dendritic Cells Promotes Listeria monocytogenes Infection. Immunity 2019; 51:64-76.e7. [PMID: 31231033 DOI: 10.1016/j.immuni.2019.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2018] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Type 1 CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are required for CD8+ T cell priming but, paradoxically, promote splenic Listeria monocytogenes infection. Using mice with impaired cDC2 function, we ruled out a role for cDC2s in this process and instead discovered an interleukin-10 (IL-10)-dependent cellular crosstalk in the marginal zone (MZ) that promoted bacterial infection. Mice lacking the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 or CD19 lost IL-10-producing MZ B cells and were resistant to Listeria. IL-10 increased intracellular Listeria in cDC1s indirectly by reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase expression early after infection and increasing intracellular Listeria in MZ metallophilic macrophages (MMMs). These MMMs trans-infected cDC1s, which, in turn, transported Listeria into the white pulp to prime CD8+ T cells. However, this also facilitated bacterial expansion. Therefore, IL-10-mediated crosstalk between B cells, macrophages, and cDC1s in the MZ promotes both Listeria infection and CD8+ T cell activation.

Abstract
Recent fate-mapping studies and gene-expression profiles suggest that commonly used protocols to generate bone marrow-derived cultured dendritic cells yield a heterogeneous mixture, including some CD11chi cells that may not have a bona fide counterpart in vivo. In this study, we provide further evidence of the discordance between ex vivo-isolated and in vitro-cultured CD11c+ cells by analyzing an additional phenotype, the ability to support cytosolic growth of the facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes Two days after foodborne infection of mice with GFP-expressing L. monocytogenes, a small percentage of CD103neg and CD103+ conventional dendritic cells (cDC) in the intestinal lamina propria and mesenteric lymph nodes were GFP+ However, in vitro infection of the same subsets of cells harvested from naive mice resulted in inefficient invasion by the bacteria (<0.1% of the inoculum). The few intracellular bacteria detected survived for only a few hours. In contrast, cultured CD103negCD11c+ cells induced by GM-CSF readily supported exponential growth of L. monocytogenes Flt3 ligand-induced cultures yielded CD103+CD11c+ cells that more closely resembled cDC, with only a modest level of L. monocytogenes replication. For both culture protocols, the longer the cells were maintained in vitro, the more readily they supported intracellular growth. The results of this study suggest that cDC are not a niche for intracellular growth of L. monocytogenes during intestinal infection of mice.

Abstract
The drug FK506 (tacrolimus, fujimycin) exerts its immunosuppressive effects by regulating the nuclear factor of the activated T-cell (NFAT) family of transcription factors. However, FK506 also exhibits neuroprotective effects, but its direct target proteins that mediate these effects have not been determined. To identify the target proteins responsible for FK506's neuroprotective effects, the drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) method was performed using label-free FK506, and LC-MS/MS analysis of the FK506-treated proteome was also performed. Using DARTS and LC-MS/MS analyses in combination with reference studies, V-ATPase catalytic subunit A (ATP6V1A) was identified as a new target protein of FK506. The biological relevance of ATP6V1A in mediating the neuroprotective effects of FK506 was validated by analyzing FK506 activity with respect to autophagy via acridine orange staining and transcription factor EB (TFEB) translocation assay. These analyses demonstrated that the binding of FK506 with ATP6V1A induces autophagy by activating the translocation of TFEB from the cytosol into the nucleus. Because autophagy has been identified as a mechanism for treating neurodegenerative diseases and because we have demonstrated that FK506 induces autophagy, this study demonstrates that FK506 is a possible new therapy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Insights into a novel nuclear function for Fascin in the regulation of the amino-acid transporter SLC3A2. Sci Rep 2016; 6:36699.

Abstract
Fascin 1 (FSCN1) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein recognized to function primarily in the regulation of cytoskeleton structure and formation of plasma membrane protrusions. Here we report a novel nuclear function for Fascin 1. Biochemical studies and genome wide localization using ChIP-seq identified phosphorylated Fascin 1 (pFascin) in complexes associated with transcription and that it co-localizes with histone H3 Lys4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) on chromatin. Gene expression profiling identified genes affected by Fascin 1 including SLC3A2, a gene encoding for a plasma membrane transporter that regulates intracellular amino acid levels. RbBP5, a subunit of the H3K4 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex was found to interact with Fascin 1 supporting its role in H3K4me3 establishment at target genes. Moreover, we show that changes to SLC3A2 levels affect amino acid-mediated mTORC1 activation. These results reveal that Fascin 1 has a yet undiscovered nuclear function as an epigenetic modulator of genes essential for amino acid metabolism.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterium causing listeriosis, a food-borne infection with a high mortality rate. The mechanisms and the role of cells and tissular components in generating protective adaptive immune responses are well studied, and cell biological studies provide a detailed understanding of the processes targeted by the bacterial products. Much less is known of the cellular responses activated to limit infection in individual cells when confronted with stress or infection. Eukaryotic cellular responses depend on multitiered homeostatic systems that ensure maintenance of proteostatis, organellar integrity, function and turnover, and overall cellular viability (‘the cell-autonomous response’). Here, we review the cell-autonomous responses induced during extracellular and intracellular L. monocytogenes growth and discuss their contribution to limiting infection.

Tracing innate immune defences along the path of Listeria monocytogenes infection. Immunol Cell Biol 2014; 92:563-9.

Abstract
The pathogenic gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative infectious intracellular pathogen that causes listeriosis. Effective elimination of infection is dependent upon a functioning innate immune system and activation of inflammatory responses by pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs). In this review, we trace the route of L. monocytogenes invasion as it disseminates from the intestinal epithelium, through the bloodstream of the host, to the liver and spleen. Along this route, we highlight the diverse, region specific, innate defences in place throughout the course of infection. We provide an overview of recent advances in our knowledge of key innate immune defences against L. monocytogenes, focusing on the PRRs in various cell types known to be critical in the detection of this pathogen.

Abstract
The use of live Listeria-based vaccines carries serious difficulties when administrated to immunocompromised individuals. However, cellular carriers have the advantage of inducing multivalent innate immunity as well as cell-mediated immune responses, constituting novel and secure vaccine strategies in listeriosis. Here, we compare the protective efficacy of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages and their safety. We examined the immune response of these vaccine vectors using two Listeria antigens, listeriolysin O (LLO) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and several epitopes such as the LLO peptides, LLO189−201 and LLO91−99 and the GAPDH peptide, GAPDH1−22. We discarded macrophages as safe vaccine vectors because they show anti-Listeria protection but also high cytotoxicity. DCs loaded with GAPDH1−22 peptide conferred higher protection and security against listeriosis than the widely explored LLO91−99 peptide. Anti-Listeria protection was related to the changes in DC maturation caused by these epitopes, with high production of interleukin-12 as well as significant levels of other Th1 cytokines such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ, and with the induction of GAPDH1−22-specific CD4+ and CD8+ immune responses. This is believed to be the first study to explore the use of a novel GAPDH antigen as a potential DC-based vaccine candidate for listeriosis, whose efficiency appears to highlight the relevance of vaccine designs containing multiple CD4+ and CD8+ epitopes.
