    Abstract The post-translational modification of proteins by SUMO is crucial for cellular viability and mammalian development in part due to the contribution of SUMOylation to genome duplication and repair. To investigate the mechanisms underpinning the essential function of SUMO, we undertook a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 screen probing the response to SUMOylation inhibition. This effort identified 130 genes whose disruption reduces or enhances the toxicity of TAK-981, a clinical-stage inhibitor of the SUMO E1-activating enzyme. Among the strongest hits, we validated and characterized NFATC2IP, an evolutionarily conserved protein related to the fungal Esc2 and Rad60 proteins that harbors tandem SUMO-like domains. Cells lacking NFATC2IP are viable but are hypersensitive to SUMO E1 inhibition, likely due to the accumulation of mitotic chromosome bridges and micronuclei. NFATC2IP primarily acts in interphase and associates with nascent DNA, suggesting a role in the postreplicative resolution of replication or recombination intermediates. Mechanistically, NFATC2IP interacts with the SMC5/6 complex and UBC9, the SUMO E2, via its first and second SUMO-like domains, respectively. AlphaFold-Multimer modeling suggests that NFATC2IP positions and activates the UBC9-NSMCE2 complex, the SUMO E3 ligase associated with SMC5/SMC6. We conclude that NFATC2IP is a key mediator of SUMO-dependent genomic integrity that collaborates with the SMC5/6 complex.

    Abstract Idiosyncratic drug reactions are rare but serious adverse drug reactions unrelated to the known therapeutic properties of the drug and manifest in only a small percentage of the treated population. Animal models play an important role in advancing mechanistic studies examining idiosyncratic drug reactions. However, to be useful, they must possess similarities to those seen clinically. Although mice currently represent the dominant mammalian genetic model, rats are advantageous in many areas of pharmacologic study where their physiology can be examined in greater detail and is more akin to that seen in humans. In the area of immunology, this includes autoimmune responses and susceptibility to diabetes, in which rats more accurately mimic disease states in humans compared with mice. For example, oral nevirapine treatment can induce an immune-mediated skin rash in humans and rats, but not in mice due to the absence of the sulfotransferase required to form reactive metabolites of nevirapine within the skin. Using CRISPR-mediated gene editing, we developed a modified line of transgenic rats in which a segment of IgG-like ectodomain containing the core PD-1 interaction motif containing the native ligand and therapeutic antibody domain in exon 2 was deleted. Removal of this region critical for mediating PD-1/PD-L1 interactions resulted in animals with an increased immune response resulting in liver injury when treated with amodiaquine.

    Abstract Idiosyncratic drug reactions are unpredictable adverse reactions. Although most such adverse reactions appear to be immune mediated, their exact mechanism(s) remain elusive. The idiosyncratic drug reaction most associated with serious consequences is idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI). We have developed a mouse model of amodiaquine (AQ)-induced liver injury that reflects the clinical characteristics of IDILI in humans. This was accomplished by impairing immune tolerance by using PD-1

    Abstract TMEM184B is a putative seven-pass membrane protein that promotes axon degeneration after injury. TMEM184B mutation causes aberrant neuromuscular architecture and sensory and motor behavioral defects in mice. The mechanism through which TMEM184B causes neuromuscular defects is unknown. We employed Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the function of the closely related gene, Tmep (CG12004), at the neuromuscular junction. We show that Tmep is required for full adult viability and efficient larval locomotion. Tmep mutant larvae have a reduced body contraction rate compared to controls, with stronger deficits in females. In recordings from body wall muscles, Tmep mutants show substantial hyperexcitability, with many postsynaptic potentials fired in response to a single stimulation, consistent with a role for Tmep in restraining synaptic excitability. Additional branches and satellite boutons at Tmep mutant neuromuscular junctions are consistent with an activity-dependent synaptic overgrowth. Tmep is expressed in endosomes and synaptic vesicles within motor neurons, suggesting a possible role in synaptic membrane trafficking. Using RNAi knockdown, we show that Tmep is required in motor neurons for proper larval locomotion and excitability, and that its reduction increases levels of presynaptic calcium. Locomotor defects can be rescued by presynaptic knockdown of endoplasmic reticulum calcium channels or by reducing evoked release probability, further suggesting that excess synaptic activity drives behavioral deficiencies. Our work establishes a critical function for Tmep in the regulation of synaptic transmission and locomotor behavior.

    Abstract Little is known with certainty about the mechanisms of idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs); however, there is substantive evidence that reactive metabolites are involved in most, but not all, IDRs. In addition, evidence also suggests that most IDRs are immune mediated. That raises the question of how reactive metabolites induce an immune response that can lead to an IDR. The dominant hypotheses are the hapten and danger hypotheses. These are complementary hypotheses: a reactive metabolite can act as a hapten to produce neoantigens, and it can also cause cell damage leading to the release of danger-associated molecular pattern molecules that activate antigen presenting cells. Both are required for an immune response. In addition, drugs may induce an immune response through inflammasome activation. We have found examples in which the ability to activate inflammasomes differentiated drugs that cause IDRs from similar drugs that do not. There are other hypotheses that do not involve an immune mechanism such as mitochondrial injury and bile salt export pump (BSEP) inhibition. With some possible exceptions, these hypotheses are unlikely to be able to completely explain IDRs. However, some types of mitochondrial injury or BSEP inhibition could produce danger signals. The major mechanism that protects us from IDRs appears to be immune tolerance. Consistent with this hypothesis, we used checkpoint inhibition to develop the first animal model of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury that has the same characteristics as the idiosyncratic injury in humans. This was accomplished by treating Pd-1

    Abstract Idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) significantly increase the risk of failure in drug development. The major IDR leading to drug candidate failure is idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI). Although most evidence suggests that IDRs are mediated by the immune system, there are other hypotheses, such as mitochondrial dysfunction. Many pharmaceutical companies routinely screen for mitochondrial toxicity in an attempt to "derisk" drug candidates. However, the basic hypothesis has never been rigorously tested. A major assay used for this screening involves measurement of inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. One study found that the combination of rotenone and isoniazid, which inhibit mitochondrial complex I and II, respectively, were synergistic in causing hepatocyte toxicity in vitro and suggested the combination of another drug that inhibited complex I would increase the risk of isoniazid-induced liver injury in patients. We tested this hypothesis in vivo where wild-type and PD-1-/- mice administered anti-CTLA-4, our impaired immune tolerance mouse model, were given 0.02% (w/v) rotenone in water or 0.1%, 0.05%, and 0.01% (w/w) rotenone alone or in combination with isoniazid in food. The cotreatment led to lethality in 100% of the animals receiving 0.1% rotenone and 0.2% isoniazid and 83% of the animals cotreated with 0.05% rotenone and 0.2% isoniazid in food. Nevertheless, there was no significant increase in GLDH or histological evidence of liver injury. No signs of toxicity were observed in any of the mice given rotenone or isoniazid alone. Even though inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain did not lead to significant liver toxicity, it could provide danger signals that promote immune-mediated liver injury. However, rotenone did not significantly increase the liver injury induced by isoniazid in our impaired immune tolerance model. Overall, we conclude that inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain is not a significant mechanism of IDILI.

    Abstract Clinical evidence suggests that most idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is immune-mediated. The danger hypothesis suggests that liver injury and inflammation would increase the risk of an immune response leading to IDILI. Therefore, a reasonable hypothesis would be that an underlying chronic liver disease such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) would increase the risk of developing IDILI due to inflammation and release of danger signals from damaged cells. In order to test this hypothesis, mice were fed a methionine-/choline-deficient (MCD) diet that produces a consistent NASH phenotype, along with amodiaquine (AQ) - a drug known to cause IDILI in humans. This study employed both wild-type C57BL/6 mice and PD-1

    Abstract If idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is immune mediated, then it is logical that immune modulators may be able to affect liver injury caused by a drug. We have previously shown that modulating the immune system by impairing programmed cell death protein (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) signaling, both receptors involved in immune tolerance, was capable of producing an animal model of amodiaquine (AQ) IDILI with characteristics very similar to IDILI in humans. Other immune modulators may also increase liver injury caused by drugs that cause IDILI in humans. In this study, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) were targeted with antibodies, with and without PD-1 and CTLA-4 impairment. We found that anti-Gr1 antibodies used to deplete MDSCs led to a significant increase in AQ-induced liver injury in wild-type mice; however, the injury was actually less in PD-1
