Abstract:
Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is a negative regulator of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling that is frequently inactivated in colorectal cancer through mutation, loss of heterozygosity, or epigenetic mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intestinal-specific PTEN inactivation on intestinal epithelial homeostasis and tumorigenesis. PTEN was deleted specifically in the intestinal epithelium, by crossing PTEN Lox/ Lox mice with villin Cre mice. PTEN was robustly expressed in the intestinal epithelium and maximally in the differentiated cell compartment. Targeted inactivation of PTEN in the intestinal epithelium of PTEN Lox/ Lox/villin Cre mice was confirmed by genotyping, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR. While intestinal-specific PTEN deletion did not have a major effect on cell fate determination or proliferation in the small intestine, it did increase phosphorylated (p) protein kinase B (AKT) expression in the intestinal epithelium, and 19% of animals developed small intestinal adenomas and adenocarcinomas at 12 mo of age. These tumors demonstrated pAKT and nuclear β-catenin staining, indicating simultaneous activation of the PI3K/AKT and Wnt signaling pathways. These findings demonstrate that, while PTEN inactivation alone has a minimal effect on intestinal homeostasis, it can facilitate tumor promotion upon deregulation of β-catenin/TCF signaling, further establishing PTEN as a bona fide tumor suppressor gene in intestinal cancer.

Abstract:
Mutations in lysyl oxidase (LOX) are associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD). Mice that do not express Lox ( Lox−/−) die soon after birth and have 60% and 40% reductions in elastin- and collagen-specific cross-links, respectively. LOX inactivation could also change the expression of secreted factors, the structural matrix, and matrix-associated proteins that constitute the aortic matrisome. We hypothesized that absence of Lox will change the mechanical behavior of the aortic wall because of reduced elastin and collagen cross-linking and alter the expression levels of matrisome and smooth muscle cell (SMC) genes in a vascular location-specific manner. Using fluorescence microscopy, pressure myography, and gene set enrichment analysis, we visualized the microarchitecture, quantified the mechanical behavior, and examined matrisome and SMC gene expression from ascending aortas (AAs) and descending aortas (DAs) from newborn Lox+/+ and Lox−/− mice. Even though Lox−/− AAs and DAs have fragmented elastic laminae and disorganized SMCs, the unloaded outer diameter and wall thickness were similar to Lox+/+ AAs and DAs. Lox−/− AAs and DAs have altered opening angles, circumferential stresses, and circumferential stretch ratios; however, only Lox−/− AAs have increased pressurized diameters and tangent moduli. Gene set enrichment analysis showed upregulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulator gene set in Lox−/− AAs and DAs as well as differential expression of secreted factors, collagens, ECM-affiliated proteins, ECM glycoproteins, and SMC cell cycle gene sets that depend on the Lox genotype and vascular location. These results provide insights into the local chemomechanical changes induced by Lox inactivation that may be important for TAAD pathogenesis. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Absence of lysyl oxidase ( Lox) causes thoracic aortic aneurysms. The aortic mechanical behavior of Lox−/− mice is consistent with reduced elastin and collagen cross-linking but demonstrates vascular location-specific differences. Lox−/− aortas show upregulation of matrix remodeling genes and location-specific differential expression of other matrix and smooth muscle cell gene sets.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori NCTC 11637 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expresses the human blood group antigens Lewis x (Lex), Ley, and H type I. In this report, we demonstrate that the H type I epitope displays high-frequency phase variation. One variant expressed Lex and Ley and no H type I as determined by serology; this switch was reversible. Insertional mutagenesis in NCTC 11637 of JHP563 (a poly(C) tract containing an open reading frame homologous to glycosyltransferases) yielded a transformant with a serotype similar to the phase variant. Structural analysis of the NCTC 11637 LPS confirmed the loss of the H type I epitope. Sequencing of JHP563 in strains NCTC 11637, an H type I-negative variant, and an H type I-positive switchback variant showed a C14 (gene on), C13 (gene off), and C14 tract, respectively. Inactivation of strain G27, which expresses Lex, Ley, H type I, and Lea, yielded a transformant that expressed Lex and Ley. We conclude that JHP563 encodes a β3-galactosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of H type I and Lea and that phase variation in H type I is due to C-tract changes in this gene. A second H type I-negative variant (variant 3a) expressed Lex and Lea and had lost both H type I and Leyexpression. Inactivation of HP093-HP094 resulted in a transformant expressing Lex and lacking Ley and H type I. Structural analysis of a mutant LPS confirmed the serological data. We conclude that the HP093-HP094 α2-fucosyltransferase (α2-FucT) gene product is involved in the biosynthesis of both Ley and Lex. Finally, we inactivated HP0379 in strain 3a. The transformant had lost both Lex and Leaexpression, which demonstrates that the HP0379 gene product is both an α3- and an α4-FucT. Our data provide understanding at the molecular level of how H. pylori is able to diversify in the host, a requirement likely essential for successful colonization and transmission.

Abstract:
Plant and fungal lipoxygenases (LOX) catalyze the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, creating fatty-acid hydroperoxides (oxylipins). Fungal oxylipins are required for normal fungal development and secondary metabolism, and plant host–derived oxylipins interfere with these processes in fungi, presumably by signal mimicry. The maize LOX gene ZmLOX3 has been implicated previously in seed-Aspergillus interactions, so we tested the interactions of a mutant maize line (lox3-4, in which ZmLOX3 is disrupted) with the mycotoxigenic seed-infecting fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus nidulans. The lox3-4 mutant was more susceptible than wild-type maize to both Aspergillus species. All strains of A. flavus and A. nidulans produced more conidia and aflatoxin (or the precursor sterigmatocystin) on lox3-4 kernels than on wild-type kernels, in vitro and under field conditions. Although oxylipins did not differ detectably between A. flavus–infected kernels of the lox3-4 and wild-type (WT) maize, oxylipin precursors (free fatty acids) and a downstream metabolite (jasmonic acid) accumulated to greater levels in lox3-4 than in WT kernels. The increased resistance of the lox3-4 mutant to other fungal pathogens (Fusarium, Colletotrichum, Cochliobolus, and Exserohilum spp.) is in sharp contrast to results described herein for Aspergillus spp., suggesting that outcomes of LOX-governed host-pathogen interactions are pathogen-specific.

Abstract:
Abstract We generated a new zebrafish model of human brain cancer by Cre/lox regulated conditional inactivation of the tumor suppressor RB in embryonic neural progenitors. An ascl1b progenitor Cre driver was used to inactivate RB by Cre recombination of an intronic floxed mRFP gene trap cassette, leading to mRFP expression and lineage labeling of RB mutated cells. Beginning at 6 months of age adult fish developed poorly differentiated brain tumors, similar to our previous zebrafish brain tumor model generated by CRISPR targeting of RB in embryos. Tumor transcriptome analysis revealed a proneural transcription factor molecular signature of the olig2+/sox10+ human CNS primitive neuroectodermal tumor subtype. Overexpression of chromatin remodelers suggest epigenetic mechanisms may contribute to tumorigenesis. Our model will allow sorting of RB mutant cells from the earliest stage of mutagenesis in the embryo to induction of cellular transformation in juveniles. With this approach we can profile the epigenetic time course of cellular transformation and reveal new insight into the molecular mechanisms driving PNET oncogenesis. Our approach to model cancer in fish with Cre/lox conditional inactivation can be applied to other cell lineages and brain tumor types.

Abstract:
12R-lipoxygenase (12R-LOX) and the epidermal LOX-3 (eLOX-3) constitute a novel LOX pathway involved in terminal differentiation in skin. This view is supported by recent studies showing that inactivating mutations in 12R-LOX and eLOX-3 are linked to the development of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. We show that 12R-LOX deficiency in mice results in a severe impairment of skin barrier function. Loss of barrier function occurs without alterations in proliferation and stratified organization of the keratinocytes, but is associated with ultrastructural anomalies in the upper granular layer, suggesting perturbance of the assembly/extrusion of lamellar bodies. Cornified envelopes from skin of 12R-LOX–deficient mice show increased fragility. Lipid analysis demonstrates a disordered composition of ceramides, in particular a decrease of ester-bound ceramide species. Moreover, processing of profilaggrin to monomeric filaggrin is impaired. This study indicates that the 12R-LOX–eLOX-3 pathway plays a key role in the process of epidermal barrier acquisition by affecting lipid metabolism, as well as protein processing.

Abstract:
The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours that developed in mice with Apclox/lox, LSL-KrasG12D, and Tp53lox/lox targetable alleles. Organoids were derived from single cells and the spectrum of mutations was determined by exome sequencing. The number of single nucleotide substitutions (SNSs) correlated with the age of the tumour, but was unaffected by the number of targeted cancer-driver genes. Thus, tumours that expressed mutant Apc, Kras, and Tp53 alleles had as many SNSs as tumours that expressed only mutant Apc. In contrast, the presence of large-scale (>10 Mb) copy number alterations (CNAs) correlated strongly with Tp53 inactivation. Comparison of the SNSs and CNAs present in organoids derived from the same tumour revealed intratumoural heterogeneity consistent with genomic lesions accumulating at significantly higher rates in tumour cells compared to normal cells. The rate of acquisition of SNSs increased from the early stages of cancer development, whereas large-scale CNAs accumulated later, after Tp53 inactivation. Thus, a significant fraction of the genomic instability present in cancer cells cannot be explained by aging processes occurring in normal cells before oncogenic transformation.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTComplex interspecies interactions occur constantly between oral commensals and the opportunistic pathogenStreptococcus mutansin dental plaque. Previously, we showed that oral commensalStreptococcus oligofermentanspossesses multiple enzymes for H2O2production, especially lactate oxidase (Lox), allowing it to out-competeS. mutans. In this study, through extensive biochemical and genetic studies, we identified a pyruvate oxidase (pox) gene inS. oligofermentans. Apoxdeletion mutant completely lost Pox activity, while ectopically expressedpoxrestored activity. Pox was determined to produce most of the H2O2in the earlier growth phase and log phase, while Lox mainly contributed to H2O2production in stationary phase. Bothpoxandloxwere expressed throughout the growth phase, while expression of theloxgene increased by about 2.5-fold when cells entered stationary phase. Since lactate accumulation occurred to a large degree in stationary phase, the differential Pox- and Lox-generated H2O2can be attributed to differential gene expression and substrate availability. Interestingly, inactivation ofpoxcauses a dramatic reduction in H2O2production from lactate, suggesting a synergistic action of the two oxidases in converting lactate into H2O2. In anin vitrotwo-species biofilm experiment, thepoxmutant ofS. oligofermentansfailed to inhibitS. mutanseven thoughloxwas active. In summary,S. oligofermentansdevelops a Pox-Lox synergy strategy to maximize its H2O2formation so as to win the interspecies competition.

Abstract:
L’adrénoleucodystrophie liée à l’X (X-ALD) est une maladie neurodégénérative sévère caractérisée par une accumulation d’acides gras à très longue chaîne (AGTLC), conséquence d’un défaut de β-oxydation peroxysomale. La maladie est associée à l’absence de la protéine ABCD1, transporteur ABC du peroxysome qui, tout comme son homologue le plus proche, ABCD2, participe à l’import des AGTLC-CoA au sein du peroxysome, l’unique site de leur dégradation par β-oxydation. La compréhension des mécanismes physiopathologiques est aujourd’hui limitée par le manque de modèles expérimentaux pertinents, cellulaires ou animaux. Puisque le défaut peroxysomal dans la microglie apparait comme un événement pathogénique majeur, nous avons généré des lignées de cellules microgliales incapable de transporter et/ou β-oxyder les AGTLC au sein du peroxysome. Quatre lignées cellulaires microgliales BV-2 déficientes en ABCD1, ABCD2, ABCD1 et ABCD2 ou ACOX1 (l’enzyme limitante de la β-oxydation peroxysomale) ont ainsi été générées par édition génique par CRISPR-Cas9. Ces cellules déficientes présentent d’importants défauts biochimiques, une accumulation d’AGTLC mais aussi des changements des contenus en acides gras et cholestérol. Les analyses ultrastructurales effectuées démontrent l’existence d’importantes inclusions lipidiques et indiquent également une augmentation du nombre de peroxysomes et mitochondries dans ces cellules. Les profils transcriptomiques signalent des altérations de la plasticité de ces cellules microgliales et de leur capacité de reprogrammation métabolique en réponse à un stimulus inflammatoire. Les fonctions de phagocytose ou de présentation antigénique des cellules microgliales semblent être affectées par le défaut peroxysomal. Enfin, les résultats obtenus à l’aide de ces modèles suggèrent que l’altération du métabolisme lipidique peroxysomal modifie l’organisation des membranes cellulaires. Ces lignées cellulaires apparaissent donc comme des modèles prometteurs, d’un grand intérêt pour la compréhension de la physiopathologie et l’identification de cibles thérapeutiques de cette maladie neurodégénérative complexe
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) accumulation resulting from a peroxisomal β-oxidation defect. The disease is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which encodes for a peroxisomal half ABC transporter predicted, like its closest homologue ABCD2, to participate in the entry of VLCFA-CoA into the peroxisome, the unique site of their β-oxidation. Progress in understanding the physiopathogenesis of X-ALD suffers from the lack of appropriate cell and animal models. Since peroxisomal defects in microglia seem to be a key element of the onset of the disease, we generated four microglial cell lines unable to transport and/or β-oxidize VLCFA into the peroxisome. BV-2 microglial cells were engineered with CRISPR-Cas9 to generate four microglial cell lines deficient in ABCD1, ABCD2, both ABCD1 and ABCD2 or ACOX-1 (the first rate-limiting enzyme of the peroxisomal β-oxidation system). Biochemical defects and lipid content changes associated with VLCFA accumulation but also fatty acids and cholesterol changes were identified in deficient microglia. Ultrastructural investigations confirmed cytosolic lipid inclusions and an increased number of peroxisome and mitochondria. Transcriptomic profiles of deficient microglia are indicative of an impaired plasticity and an impaired capacity to operate the metabolic shift required upon an inflammatory stimulation. Peroxisomal defect is likely to affect phagocytosis and antigen presentation capacity of microglia. Peroxisomal lipid metabolism defect is also suggested to modify cell membranes organization. Altogether, these novel mutant cell lines represent a promising model that should permit identification of new therapeutic targets for this complex neurodegenerative disease
