    Abstract Signaling activation is a tightly regulated process involving myriad posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, ubiquitylation/deubiquitylation, proteolytical cleavage events as well as translocation of proteins to new compartments within the cell. In addition to each of these events potentially regulating individual proteins, the assembly of very large supramolecular complexes has emerged as a common theme in signal transduction and is now known to regulate many signaling events. This is particularly evident in pathways regulating both inflammation and cell death/survival. Regulation of the assembly and silencing of these complexes plays important roles in immune signaling and inflammation and the fate of cells to either die or survive. Here we will give a summary of some of the better studied supramolecular complexes involved in inflammation and cell death, particularly with a focus on diseases caused by their autoactivation and the role autophagy either plays or may be playing in their regulation.

    Abstract The mitochondrial apoptosis pathway has the function to kill the cell, but recent work shows that this pathway can also be activated to a sublethal level, where signal transduction can be observed but the cell survives. Intriguingly, this signaling has been shown to contribute to inflammatory activity of epithelial cells upon infection with numerous agents. This suggests that microbial recognition can generate sublethal activity in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Because this recognition is achieved by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), it also implies that PRR signals are linked to the mitochondrial apoptosis apparatus. We here test this hypothesis during infection of epithelial cells with modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA). MVA recognition is achieved through receptors specific for nucleic acids, and we present evidence that the three receptors, Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), RIG-I/MDA5, and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING), are involved in this signaling. When stimulated directly by specific ligands, all three receptors could trigger sublethal apoptosis signals. During infection with MVA, sublethal apoptosis signals were unmasked in X-linked IAP (XIAP)-deficient cells, where apoptosis induction was observed. Deletion of any of the three signaling adapters, TRIF, MAVS, and STING, reduced the DNA damage response, a sensitive measure of sublethal apoptosis signals. Our results suggest that PRRs signal via mitochondria, where they generate sublethal signals through the BCL-2-family, which may contribute to the response to infectious agents.

    Abstract GM-CSF is a potent inflammatory cytokine regulating myeloid cell differentiation, hematopoiesis, and various other functions. It is functionally associated with a number of inflammatory pathologies including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. GM-CSF has been found to promote NLRP3-dependent IL-1β secretion, which may have a significant role in driving inflammatory pathologies. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that GM-CSF induces IL-1β secretion through a ROS-dependent pathway. TNF is required for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation that strikingly does not promote NLRP3 activation, but instead drives ubiquitylation of IL-1β, promoting its cleavage through basal NRLP3 activity. GM-CSF regulates this pathway through suppression of antioxidant responses via preventing upregulation of NRF2. Thus, the pro-inflammatory effect of GM-CSF on IL-1β is through suppression of antioxidant responses, which leads to ubiquitylation of IL-1β and enhanced processing. This study highlights the role of metabolic regulation of inflammatory signaling and reveals a novel mechanism for GM-CSF to promote inflammation.

    Abstract Metabolomics has expanded from cellular to subcellular level to elucidate subcellular compartmentalization. By applying isolated mitochondria to metabolome analysis, the hallmark of mitochondrial metabolites has been unraveled, showing compartment-specific distribution and regulation of metabolites. This method was employed in this work to study a mitochondrial inner membrane protein Sym1, whose human ortholog MPV17 is related to mitochondria DNA depletion syndrome. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling was combined with targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis to cover more metabolites. Furthermore, we applied a workflow employing ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry with a powerful chemometrics platform, focusing on only significantly changed metabolites. This workflow highly reduced the complexity of acquired data without losing metabolites of interest. Consequently, forty-one novel metabolites were identified in addition to the combined method, of which two metabolites, 4-guanidinobutanal and 4-guanidinobutanoate, were identified for the first time in

    Abstract Apoptosis acts in defense against microbial infection, and many infectious agents have developed strategies to inhibit host cell apoptosis. The human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis (Ctr) is an obligate intracellular bacterium that strongly inhibits mitochondrial apoptosis of its human host cell but there is no agreement how the bacteria achieve this. We here provide a molecular analysis of chlamydial apoptosis-inhibition in infected human cells and demonstrate that the block of apoptosis occurs during the activation of the effectors of mitochondrial apoptosis, Bak and Bax. We use small-molecule Bcl-2-family inhibitors and gene targeting to show that previous models cannot explain the anti-apoptotic effect of chlamydial infection. Although the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2-family protein Mcl-1 was strongly upregulated upon infection, Mcl-1-deficient cells and cells where Mcl-1 was pharmacologically inactivated were still protected. Ctr-infection could inhibit both Bax- and Bak-induced apoptosis. Apoptotic Bax-oligomerization and association with the outer mitochondrial membrane was reduced upon chlamydial infection. Infection further inhibited apoptosis induced conformational changes of Bak, as evidenced by changes to protease sensitivity, oligomerization and release from the mitochondrial porin VDAC2. Mitochondria isolated from Ctr-infected cells were protected against the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-family proteins Bim and tBid but this protection was lost upon protease digestion. However, the protective effect of Ctr-infection was reduced in cells lacking the Bax/Bak-regulator VDAC2. We further found that OmpA, a porin of the outer membrane of Ctr, associated upon experimental expression with mitochondria and inhibited apoptosis, phenocopying the effect of the infection. These results identify a novel way of apoptosis inhibition, involving only the most downstream modulator of mitochondrial apoptosis and suggest that Chlamydia has a protein dedicated to the inhibition of apoptosis to secure its survival in human cells.

    Abstract Regulated cell death frequently occurs upon infection by intracellular pathogens, and extent and regulation is often cell-type-specific. We aimed to identify the cell death-signaling pathways triggered in macrophages by infection with modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA), an attenuated strain of vaccinia virus used in vaccination. While most target cells seem to be protected by antiapoptotic proteins encoded in the MVA genome, macrophages die when infected with MVA. We targeted key signaling components of specific cell death-pathways and pattern recognition-pathways using genome editing and small molecule inhibitors in an in vitro murine macrophage differentiation model. Upon infection with MVA, we observed activation of mitochondrial and death-receptor-induced apoptosis-pathways as well as the necroptosis-pathway. Inhibition of individual pathways had a little protective effect but led to compensatory death through the other pathways. In the absence of mitochondrial apoptosis, autocrine/paracrine TNF-mediated apoptosis and, in the absence of caspase-activity, necroptosis occurred. TNF-induction depended on the signaling molecule STING, and MAVS and ZBP1 contributed to MVA-induced apoptosis. The mode of cell death had a substantial impact on the cytokine response of infected cells, indicating that the immunogenicity of a virus may depend not only on its PAMPs but also on its ability to modulate individual modalities of cell death. These findings provide insights into the diversity of cell death-pathways that an infection can trigger in professional immune cells and advance our understanding of the intracellular mechanisms that govern the immune response to a virus.

    Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen of medical importance. C. trachomatis develops inside a membranous vacuole in the cytosol of epithelial cells but manipulates the host cell in numerous ways. One prominent effect of chlamydial infection is the inhibition of apoptosis in the host cell, but molecular aspects of this inhibition are unclear. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine with important roles in immunity, which is produced by immune cells in chlamydial infection and which can have pro-apoptotic and non-apoptotic signalling activity. We here analysed the signalling through TNF in cells infected with C. trachomatis. The pro-apoptotic signal of TNF involves the activation of caspase-8 and is controlled by inhibitor of apoptosis proteins. We found that in C. trachomatis-infected cells, TNF-induced apoptosis was blocked upstream of caspase-8 activation even when inhibitor of apoptosis proteins were inhibited or the inhibitor of caspase-8 activation, cFLIP, was targeted by RNAi. However, when caspase-8 was directly activated by experimental over-expression of its upstream adapter Fas-associated protein with death domain, C. trachomatis was unable to inhibit apoptosis. Non-apoptotic TNF-signalling, particularly the activation of NF-κB, initiates at the plasma membrane, while the activation of caspase-8 and pro-apoptotic signalling occur subsequently to internalization of TNF receptor and the formation of a cytosolic signalling complex. In C. trachomatis-infected cells, NF-κB activation through TNF was unaffected, while the internalization of the TNF-TNF-receptor complex was blocked, explaining the lack of caspase-8 activation. These results identify a dichotomy of TNF signalling in C. trachomatis-infected cells: Apoptosis is blocked at the internalization of the TNF receptor, but non-apoptotic signalling through this receptor remains intact, permitting a response to this cytokine at sites of infection.

    Abstract The formation of amyloid‐like protein structures has recently emerged as a feature in signal transduction, particularly in innate immunity. These structures appear to depend on defined domains for their formation but likely also require dedicated ways to terminate signalling. We, here, define the innate immunity protein/Toll‐like receptor adaptor TIR‐domain‐containing adapter‐inducing interferon‐β (TRIF) as a novel platform of fibril formation and probe signal initiation through TRIF as well as its termination in Toll‐like receptor 3 (TLR3)‐stimulated melanoma cells. A main signalling pathway triggered by TLR3 caused apoptosis, which was controlled by inhibitor of apoptosis proteins and was dependent on RIPK1 and independent of TNF. Using correlative electron/fluorescence microscopy, we visualised fibrillar structures formed through both Toll/interleukin‐1 receptor and RIP homotypic interacting motif regions of TRIF. We provide evidence that these fibrillary structures are active signalling platforms whose activity is terminated by autophagy. TRIF‐signalling enhanced autophagy, and fibrillary structures were partly contained within autophagosomes. Inhibition of autophagy increased levels of pro‐apoptotic TRIF complexes, leading to the accumulation of active caspase‐8 and enhanced apoptosis while stimulation of autophagy reduced TRIF‐dependent death. We conclude that pro‐death signals through TRIF are regulated by autophagy and propose that pro‐apoptotic signalling through TRIF/RIPK1/caspase‐8 occurs in fibrillary platforms.

    Abstract Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins act as E3 ubiquitin ligases to regulate NF-κB signalling from multiple pattern recognition receptors including NOD2, as well as TNF Receptor Superfamily members. Loss of XIAP in humans causes X-linked Lymphoproliferative disease type 2 (XLP-2) and is often associated with Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is also caused by mutations in the gene encoding NOD2 but the mechanisms behind Crohn's disease development in XIAP and NOD2 deficient-patients are still unknown. Numerous other mutations causing Crohn's Disease occur in genes controlling various aspects of autophagy, suggesting a strong involvement of autophagy in preventing Crohn's disease. Here we show that the IAP proteins cIAP2 and XIAP are required for efficient fusion of lysosomes with autophagosomes. IAP inhibition or loss of both cIAP2 and XIAP resulted in a strong blockage in autophagic flux and mitophagy, suggesting that XIAP deficiency may also drive Crohn's Disease due to defects in autophagy.
