Adipose tissue lipolysis is the process by which triglycerides in lipid stores are hydrolyzed into free fatty acids (FFAs), serving as fuel during fasting or cold-induced thermogenesis. Although cytosolic lipases are considered the predominant mechanism of liberating FFAs, lipolysis also occurs in lysosomes via lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA), albeit with unclear roles in lipid storage and whole-body metabolism. We found that adipocyte LIPA expression increased in adipose tissue of mice when lipolysis was stimulated during fasting, cold exposure, or β-adrenergic agonism. This was functionally important, as inhibition of LIPA genetically or pharmacologically resulted in lower plasma FFAs under lipolytic conditions. …

Mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase UBE3A that cause enzymatic gain-of-function result in disease phenotypes which differ from classic Angelman syndrome. However, these phenotypes are highly heterogeneous raising questions about the mechanistic basis of such phenotypic diversity. Here, we characterize a mouse model harboring a Ube3a

Matrix Metalloproteinases Accelerate Pericellular Matrix Breakdown And Disrupt Mechanotransduction In Osteoarthritis, Jule Nieuwstraten, Rosa Riester, Ulf Krister Hofmann, Farshid Guilak, Marina Danalache

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The pericellular matrix (PCM) is a specialized, narrow matrix surrounding each chondrocyte in articular cartilage, together constituting the chondron - the fundamental metabolic and functional unit of cartilage. The PCM plays a vital role in mediating biomechanical and biochemical signals essential for chondrocyte function. In osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic joint disorder characterized by progressive cartilage degradation, the PCM is one of the earliest sites of catabolic degradation, primarily driven by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This study aims to investigate the functional relationship between PCM degradation and chondrocyte mechanosignaling, with an emphasis on MMP-driven changes in mechanotransduction in osteoarthritic cartilage. Human chondrons …

Apc/C-Mediated Ubiquitylation Of Extranucleosomal Histone Complexes Lacking Canonical Degrons, Aleksandra Skrajna, Kyle M Lapak, Anh Nguyen, Dennis Goldfarb, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Non-degradative histone ubiquitylation plays a myriad of well-defined roles in the regulation of gene expression and choreographing DNA damage repair pathways. In contrast, the contributions of degradative histone ubiquitylation on genomic processes has remained elusive. Recently, the APC/C has been shown to ubiquitylate histones to regulate gene expression in pluripotent cells, but the molecular mechanism is unclear. Here we show that despite directly binding to the nucleosome through subunit APC3, the APC/C is unable to ubiquitylate nucleosomal histones. In contrast, extranucleosomal H2A/H2B and H3/H4 complexes are broadly ubiquitylated by the APC/C in an unexpected manner. Using a combination of cryo-electron …

Reprogramming Aerobic Metabolism Mitigates Streptococcus Pyogenes Tissue Damage In A Mouse Necrotizing Skin Infection Model, Wei Xu, Tara R Bradstreet, Zongsen Zou, Suzanne Hickerson, Yuan Zhou, Hongwu He, Brian T Edelson, Michael G Caparon

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Disease tolerance is a host response to infection that limits collateral damage to host tissues while having a neutral effect on pathogen fitness. Previously, we found that the pathogenic lactic acid bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes manipulates disease tolerance using its aerobic mixed-acid fermentation pathway via the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, but the microbe-derived molecules that mediate communication with the host's disease tolerance pathways remain elusive. Here we show in a murine model that aerobic mixed-acid fermentation inhibits the accumulation of inflammatory cells including neutrophils and macrophages, reduces the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10, and delays bacterial clearance and wound healing. In infected macrophages, the …

Altered Joint Forces Found In Symptomatic Dysplastic Hips In Women During Sport-Specific Activities, Molly C Shepherd, Rannon Huo, John C Clohisy, Jeffrey J Nepple, Michael Harris

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Many patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are young and highly active but often become limited by activity-induced pain. Characterizing how the abnormal bony geometry of DDH affects hip joint loading and multiplanar kinematics during sport-specific motions relevant to active patients may provide insight into injury mechanisms and inform optimal treatment options.

PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to determine how hip joint loading and kinematics are altered in DDH during 2 common sport activities: running and multidirectional hop-cutting. It was hypothesized that superior and medial joint-reaction forces (JRFs) would be elevated during running and that …

Tetracyclines (TCs) are an important class of antibiotics threatened by enzymatic inactivation. These tetracycline-inactivating enzymes, also known as tetracycline destructases (TDases), are a subfamily of class A flavin monooxygenases (FMOs) that catalyze hydroxyl group transfer and oxygen insertion (Baeyer-Villiger type) reactions on TC substrate scaffolds. Semisynthetic modification of TCs (e.g., tigecycline, omadacycline, eravacycline, and sarecycline) has proven effective in evading certain resistance mechanisms, such as ribosomal protection and efflux, but does not protect against TDase-mediated resistance. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new series of 22 semisynthetic TDase inhibitors that explore D-ring substitution of anhydrotetracycline (aTC) …

Expression Of A Single Inhibitory Member Of The Ly49 Receptor Family Is Sufficient To License Nk Cells For Effector Functions, Sytse J Piersma, Shasha Li, Pamela Wong, Michael D Bern, Jennifer Poursine-Laurent, Li-Ping Yang, Diana L Beckman, Bijal A Parikh, Wayne M Yokoyama

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Natural killer (NK) cells recognize target cells through germline-encoded activation and inhibitory receptors enabling effective immunity against viruses and cancer. The Ly49 receptor family in the mouse and killer immunoglobin-like receptor family in humans play a central role in NK cell immunity through recognition of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) and related molecules. Functionally, these receptor families are involved in the licensing and rejection of MHC-I-deficient cells through missing-self. The Ly49 family is highly polymorphic, making it challenging to detail the contributions of individual Ly49 receptors to NK cell function. Herein, we showed mice lacking expression of all Ly49s …

BACKGROUND: To understand potential racial differences in disease susceptibility and develop targeted prevention strategies, it is essential to establish biological differences between racial groups in healthy individuals. However, knowledge about how race impacts metabolites is limited. We therefore performed a cross-sectional study using comprehensive metabolomics analysis to investigate racial differences in metabolites among 506 non-Hispanic White (NHW) women and 163 non-Hispanic Black (NHB) women.

METHODS: We performed untargeted plasma metabolomic profiling using Metabolon's platform (Durham, NC®) and identified 1074 metabolites in 9 super-pathways. We used multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for confounders, to identify associations between race and metabolites. We …

Antibodies To Recombinant Human Alpha-L-Iduronidase Prevent Disease Correction In Cortical Bone In Mps I Mice, Sarah C Hurt, Steven Q Le, Shih-Hsin Kan, Quang D Bui, Michael D Brodt, Patricia I Dickson

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme α-l-iduronidase (IDUA). Failure of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) to treat skeletal disease may be due to development of anti-IDUA antibodies, found previously to alter tissue distribution of ERT in animal models. To test this hypothesis, immunocompromised (non-obese diabetic [NOD]-severe combined immunodeficiency [SCID]) MPS I mice were treated with weekly ERT from birth (ERT alone). Some mice also received weekly injections of rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) against IDUA (immunized rabbit immune globulin [IRIG]) concomitant with ERT, imitating antibodies developed in patients (ERT+IRIG). Mice treated with ERT+IRIG …

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Chronic pain and opioid overdose deaths highlight the need for non-addictive analgesics with novel mechanisms. The δ opioid receptor (δOR) is a promising target, as it lacks the respiratory depression associated with µ opioid receptor (µOR) agonists. However, early δOR full agonists caused seizures, limiting their clinical use. Partial δOR agonists may offer more controlled receptor activation than full agonists, but their development has been hindered by uncertainty regarding the molecular mechanism of partial agonism. Here we show that C6-Quino, a bitopic ligand developed through structure-based design, acts as a selective δOR partial agonist. Functional studies reveal that C6-Quino shows …

Comprehensive Cross-Sectional And Longitudinal Comparisons Of Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein And Neurofilament Light Across Ftd Spectrum Disorders, Udit Sheth, Nupur Ghoshal, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic development for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is hindered by the lack of biomarkers that inform susceptibility/risk, prognosis, and the underlying causative pathology. Blood glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) has garnered attention as a FTD biomarker. However, investigations of GFAP in FTD have been hampered by symptomatic and histopathologic heterogeneity and small cohort sizes contributing to inconsistent findings. Therefore, we evaluated plasma GFAP as a FTD biomarker and compared its performance to that of neurofilament light (NfL) protein, a leading FTD biomarker.

METHODS: We availed ARTFL LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) study resources to conduct a comprehensive cross-sectional and …

Diarrhea is the predominant symptom of acute gastroenteritis resulting from enteric infections and a leading cause of death in infants and young children. However, the role of the host response in diarrhea pathogenesis is unclear. Using rotavirus and neonatal mice as a model, we found that oral inoculation of UV-inactivated replication-defective rotavirus consistently induced watery diarrhea by robust activation of cytosolic double-stranded RNA sensing pathways and type III interferon (IFN-λ) secretion. Diarrhea was significantly diminished in mice lacking the IFN-λ receptor. Mechanistically, IFN-λ signaling downregulates the expression of Dra, a chloride and bicarbonate exchanger, which contributes to reduced water absorption. …

Tracking And Mitigating Imprint Erasure During Induction Of Naive Human Pluripotency At Single-Cell Resolution, Laura A Fischer, Brittany Meyer, Monica Reyes, Joseph E Zemke, Jessica K Harrison, Kyoung-Mi Park, Ting Wang, Harald Jüppner, Sabine Dietmann, Thorold W Theunissen

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Naive human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) model the pre-implantation epiblast. However, parent-specific epigenetic marks (imprints) are eroded in naive hPSCs, which represents an important deviation from the epiblast in vivo. To track the dynamics of imprint erasure during naive resetting in real time, we established a dual-colored fluorescent reporter at both alleles of the imprinted SNRPN locus. During primed-to-naive resetting, SNRPN expression becomes biallelic in most naive cells, and biallelic SNRPN expression is irreversible upon re-priming. We utilized this live-cell reporter to evaluate chemical and genetic strategies to minimize imprint erasure. Decreasing the level of MEK/ERK inhibition or overexpressing the …

Variants with large effect contribute to congenital heart disease (CHD). To date, recessive genotypes (RGs) have commonly been implicated through anecdotal ascertainment of consanguineous families and candidate gene-based analysis; the recessive contribution to the broad range of CHD phenotypes has been limited. We analyzed whole exome sequences of 5,424 CHD probands. Rare damaging RGs were estimated to contribute to at least 2.2% of CHD, with greater enrichment among laterality phenotypes (5.4%) versus other subsets (1.4%). Among 108 curated human recessive CHD genes, there were 66 RGs, with 54 in 11 genes with >1 RG, 12 genes with 1 RG, and …

UvrD-family helicases are superfamily 1A motor proteins that function during DNA replication, recombination, repair, and transcription. UvrD family monomers translocate along single-stranded (ss) DNA but need to be activated by dimerization to unwind DNA in the absence of force or accessory factors. However, prior structural studies have only revealed monomeric complexes. Here, we report the first structures of a dimeric UvrD-family helicase,
