Toll-Like Receptor 4 Signaling In Osteoblasts Is Required For Load-Induced Bone Formation In Mice, Ibtesam Rajpar, Gaurav Kumar, Paolo Fortina, Ryan E. Tomlinson

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

In mature bone, NGF is produced by osteoblasts following mechanical loading and signals through resident sensory nerves expressing its high affinity receptor, neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1 (TrkA), to support bone formation. Here, we investigated whether osteoblastic expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a key receptor in the NF-κB signaling pathway, is required to initiate NGF-TrkA signaling required for load-induced bone formation. Although Tlr4 conditional knockout mice have normal skeletal mass and strength in adulthood, the loss of TLR4 signaling significantly reduced lamellar bone formation following loading. Inhibition of TLR4 signaling reduced Ngf expression in primary osteoblasts and RNA …

Determinants And Mechanisms Of The Low Fusogenicity And High Dependence On Endosomal Entry Of Omicron Subvariants, Panke Qu, John P Evans, Chaitanya Kurhade, Cong Zeng, Yi-Min Zheng, Kai Xu, Pei-Yong Shi, Xuping Xie, Shan-Lu Liu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The rapid spread and strong immune evasion of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants has raised serious concerns for the global COVID-19 pandemic. These new variants exhibit generally reduced fusogenicity and increased endosomal entry pathway utilization compared to the ancestral D614G variant, the underlying mechanisms of which remain elusive. Here, we show that the C-terminal S1 mutations of the BA.1.1 subvariant, H655Y and T547K, critically govern the low fusogenicity of Omicron. Notably, H655Y also dictates the enhanced endosome entry pathway utilization. Mechanistically, T547K and H655Y likely stabilize the spike trimer conformation as suggested by increased molecular interactions in structural modeling and enhanced …

ZNF410 is a highly-conserved transcription factor, remarkable in that it recognizes a 15-base pair DNA element but has just a single responsive target gene in mammalian erythroid cells. ZNF410 includes a tandem array of five zinc-fingers (ZFs), surrounded by uncharacterized N- and C-terminal regions. Unexpectedly, full-length ZNF410 has reduced DNA binding affinity, compared to that of the isolated DNA binding ZF array, both in vitro and in cells. AlphaFold predicts a partially-folded N-terminal subdomain that includes a 30-residue long helix, preceded by a hairpin loop rich in acidic (aspartate/glutamate) and serine/threonine residues.

Junctional adhesion molecule-like protein (JAML) serves as a co-stimulatory molecule in γδ T cells. While it has recently been described as a cancer immunotherapy target in mice, its potential to cause toxicity, specific mode of action with regard to its cellular targets, and whether it can be targeted in humans remain unknown. Here, we show that JAML is induced by T cell receptor engagement, reveal that this induction is linked to cis-regulatory interactions between the CD3D and JAML gene loci. When compared with other immunotherapy targets plagued by low target specificity and end-organ toxicity, we find JAML to be mostly …

Introduction: Appendiceal neoplasms have a propensity for peritoneal dissemination. The standard of care for select individuals is CRS/HIPEC. In the current 8th AJCC Staging system, a finding of only intraperitoneal acellular mucin (M1a) is classified as Stage IVa. There is concern that the current AJCC system may over-stage patients.

Methods: This was a single-institution retrospective review of 164 cases of mucinous appendiceal neoplasm. Patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC with M1a disease were compared to patients with peritoneal deposits containing tumor cells (well-differentiated adenocarcinoma; low-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei-M1b,G1). Overall and recurrence-free survival were assessed.

Results: Median age was 51 years, 70% were female, …

Cedar: Incorporating Cell Type Hierarchy Improves Cell Type-Specific Differential Analyses In Bulk Omics Data, Luxiao Chen, Ziyi Li, Hao Wu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Bulk high-throughput omics data contain signals from a mixture of cell types. Recent developments of deconvolution methods facilitate cell type-specific inferences from bulk data. Our real data exploration suggests that differential expression or methylation status is often correlated among cell types. Based on this observation, we develop a novel statistical method named CeDAR to incorporate the cell type hierarchy in cell type-specific differential analyses of bulk data. Extensive simulation and real data analyses demonstrate that this approach significantly improves the accuracy and power in detecting cell type-specific differential signals compared with existing methods, especially in low-abundance cell types.

Recovering False Negatives In Crispr Fitness Screens With Jloe, Merve Dede, Traver Hart

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

It is widely accepted that pooled library CRISPR knockout screens offer greater sensitivity and specificity than prior technologies in detecting genes whose disruption leads to fitness defects, a critical step in identifying candidate cancer targets. However, the assumption that CRISPR screens are saturating has been largely untested. Through integrated analysis of screen data in cancer cell lines generated by the Cancer Dependency Map, we show that a typical CRISPR screen has a ∼20% false negative rate, in addition to library-specific false negatives. Replicability falls sharply as gene expression decreases, while cancer subtype-specific genes within a tissue show distinct profiles compared …

The Er Protein Translocation Channel Subunit Sbh1 Controls Virulence Of Cryptococcus Neoformans, Felipe H. Santiago-Tirado, Thomas Hurtaux, Jennifer Geddes-Mcalister, Duy Nguyen, Volkhard Helms, Tamara L Doering, Karin Römisch

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is distinguished by a cell-wall-anchored polysaccharide capsule that is critical for virulence. Biogenesis of both cell wall and capsule relies on the secretory pathway. Protein secretion begins with polypeptide translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane through a highly conserved channel formed by three proteins: Sec61, Sbh1, and Sss1. Sbh1, the most divergent, contains multiple phosphorylation sites, which may allow it to regulate entry into the secretory pathway in a species- and protein-specific manner. Absence of
