Identification of Mammalian Cell Signaling in Response to Plasma Membrane Perforation: Endocytosis of Listeria Monocytogenes and the Repair Machinery 1 Identification of mammalian cell signaling in response to plasma membrane perforation: Endocytosis of Listeria monocytogenes and The Repair Machinery Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Gat-Tze Lam Graduate Program in Microbiology The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Stephanie Seveau, Advisor Dan Wozniak John Gunn Li Wu 2 Copyrighted by Jonathan Gar-Tze Lam 2018 3 Abstract The animal plasma membrane is a semi-fluid structural platform that maintains cellular homeostasis by regulating the passage of ions and small molecules in and out of the cell and modulating cell signaling activities. Disruption of its barrier function via mechanical damage or perforation by a pore-forming toxin is quickly followed by a sudden influx of extracellular Ca2+, which triggers efficient plasma membrane repair processes, the mechanisms of which are, to date, not fully elucidated. Efforts to understand cellular responses to plasma membrane damage have resulted in several non- mutually exclusive models of repair, each realized by the use of various cell types damaged using approaches that attempt to replicate normal physiological damage (mechanical, osmotic, and sheer stress) or damage that occurs under infectious conditions (bacterial pore-forming toxins). In the context of infection, evolutionarily distinct pathogens including the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the Gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, and the non- enveloped Adenovirus have been shown to damage the plasma membrane of non- professional phagocytic cells in order to co-opt the subsequent cellular responses to facilitate their entry into target cells. It was concluded that T. cruzi and Adenovirus mechanically damage or perforate the host cell plasma membrane in order to co-opt a i Ca2+ influx-dependent repair mechanism involving the exocytosis of lysosomes, release of acid sphingomyelinase, invagination of the host plasma membrane and endocytosis of the invading pathogen along with the damaged membrane. It was revealed that addition of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) pore-forming toxin Streptolysin O, which forms ~30 nm diameter proteinaceous pores in cholesterol-containing membranes, could further facilitate the efficient entry of these pathogens. Studies using the related CDC pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O (LLO) showed that L. monocytogenes entry into hepatocyte epithelial cells also requires Ca2+ influx subsequent to LLO-mediated perforation of the target cell suggesting that like T. cruzi and Adenovirus, L. monocytogenes could co-opt the repair machinery to gain entry. Using a combination of biochemical assays and live-cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging, we found that LLO-mediated plasma membrane perforation and influx of extracellular Ca2+ activates a signal cascade involving the recruitment and activation of a conventional protein kinase C at the plasma membrane, activation of the central actin regulator, the Rho GTPase Rac1, and induction of Arp2/3-dependent F-actin polymerization leading to bacterial internalization. Inhibition of the cPKC/Rac1/Arp2/3 pathway prevents L. monocytogenes entry, but does not prevent membrane resealing, revealing that, in contract to the mechanism of entry of T. cruzi and Adenovirus, LLO-dependent L. monocytogenes endocytosis is distinct from the resealing machinery. An additional focus of this work has been on unifying the mutually non-exclusive models of plasma membrane repair, which include the Patch hypothesis, lysosomal ii exocytosis and subsequent endocytosis, exosome release, and ectocytosis/microvesicle shedding. Much of the pioneering work that led to these models required the use of morphologically unique cells (Xenopus laevis oocytes, sea urchin eggs, squid giant axons) damaged via microneedle puncture, laser ablation, or transection techniques. Further studies using various somatic mammalian cells including myocytes, neurons, epithelial and endothelial cells damaged via mechanical or sheer stress, or exposed to pore-forming toxins have also led to the identification of numerous proteins involved in the resealing process, many of which are cell type specific. The goal of this work was to provide a platform in which to study plasma membrane resealing in any cell type in a high-throughput manner in order to a) quantify the efficiency of resealing, b) identify new proteins involved in the resealing process, c) determine any overlap across different cell types, and d) unify the various models or resealing into a global system of repair mechanisms. Here we describe a high-throughput microplate-based assay to quantify the membrane resealing efficiency of cells exposed to the pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O using a spectrofluorometric plate reader. Additionally, image cytometry was incorporated to automatically enumerate target cells expressing nuclear localized histone 2B-GFP (HeLa H2B-GFP) before and after damage to account for differences in cell counts due to damage-induced cell detachment. Lastly, as a proof of concept, a siRNA library covering 287 gene targets involved in membrane trafficking, autophagy, lysosome biogenesis and function, ectocytosis, and cytoskeletal dynamics was used to identify proteins involved in the resealing of LLO-perforated HeLa cells. 26/287 knockdown conditions caused a defect in repair, which correspond to clathrin-mediated endocytosis (adaptor related iii proteins, dynamin), vesicular fusion and fission (Rab, SNARE, and exocyst proteins), plasma membrane stabilization (Annexins), and vesicle packaging (COP and ESCRT proteins). Surprisingly 19/287 knockdown conditions actually improved repair indicating that plasma membrane repair can potentially be negatively regulated. These preliminary findings confirmed the applicability of our high-throughput assay in identifying proteins involved in plasma membrane repair, but confirmation screens, pathway analyses, use of different cell types and damaging conditions are still required to meet the goals of this work. iv Dedication Dedicated to my parents Dr. Juan Lam and Dr. Flora Yeung for their guidance and support that have made me the man and scientist I am today.

  • Abl Family Tyrosine Kinases Govern Igg Extravasation in the Skin in a Murine Pemphigus Model
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12232-3 OPEN Abl family tyrosine kinases govern IgG extravasation in the skin in a murine pemphigus model Sachiko Ono1, Gyohei Egawa1, Takashi Nomura1, Akihiko Kitoh1, Teruki Dainichi 1, Atsushi Otsuka1, Saeko Nakajima1, Masayuki Amagai2, Fumi Matsumoto3, Mami Yamamoto 3, Yoshiaki Kubota4, Toshiyuki Takai5, Tetsuya Honda1 & Kenji Kabashima 1,6 1234567890():,; The pathway of homeostatic IgG extravasation is not fully understood, in spite of its importance for the maintenance of host immunity, the management of autoantibody- mediated disorders, and the use of antibody-based biologics. Here we show in a murine model of pemphigus, a prototypic cutaneous autoantibody-mediated disorder, that blood- circulating IgG extravasates into the skin in a time- and dose-dependent manner under homeostatic conditions. This IgG extravasation is unaffected by depletion of Fcγ receptors, but is largely attenuated by specific ablation of dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicle for- mation in blood endothelial cells (BECs). Among dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicles, IgG co-localizes well with caveolae in cultured BECs. An Abl family tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib, which reduces caveolae-mediated endocytosis, impairs IgG extravasation in the skin and attenuates the murine pemphigus manifestations. Our study highlights the kinetics of IgG extravasation in vivo, which might be a clue to understand the pathological mechanism of autoantibody-mediated autoimmune disorders. 1 Department of Dermatology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan. 2 Department of Dermatology, Keio University Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. 3 Research Unit/Immunology & Inflammation, Sohyaku, Innovative Research Division, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Yokohama, Japan. 4 Department of Anatomy, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

  • View of HER2: Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2; TNBC: Triple-Negative Breast Resistance to Systemic Therapy in Patients with Breast Cancer
    Wen et al. Cancer Cell Int (2018) 18:128 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12935-018-0625-9 Cancer Cell International PRIMARY RESEARCH Open Access Sulbactam‑enhanced cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in breast cancer cells Shao‑hsuan Wen1†, Shey‑chiang Su2†, Bo‑huang Liou3, Cheng‑hao Lin1 and Kuan‑rong Lee1* Abstract Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in breast cancer treatment. The predominant mecha‑ nism underlying MDR is an increase in the activity of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent drug efux trans‑ porters. Sulbactam, a β-lactamase inhibitor, is generally combined with β-lactam antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. However, sulbactam alone can be used to treat Acinetobacter baumannii infections because it inhibits the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. This is the frst study to report the efects of sulbactam on mammalian cells. Methods: We used the breast cancer cell lines as a model system to determine whether sulbactam afects cancer cells. The cell viabilities in the present of doxorubicin with or without sulbactam were measured by MTT assay. Protein identities and the changes in protein expression levels in the cells after sulbactam and doxorubicin treatment were determined using LC–MS/MS. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) was used to analyze the change in mRNA expression levels of ABC transporters after treatment of doxorubicin with or without sulbactam. The efux of doxorubicin was measures by the doxorubicin efux assay. Results: MTT assay revealed that sulbactam enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in breast cancer cells. The results of proteomics showed that ABC transporter proteins and proteins associated with the process of transcription and initiation of translation were reduced.

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway.

  • The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line
    The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line Brett Hawley Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Brett Hawley, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT The field of proteomics studies the structure and function of proteins in a large scale and high throughput manner. My work in the field of proteomics focuses on identifying interactions between proteins and discovering novel interactions. The identification of these interactions provides new information on metabolic and disease pathways and the working proteome of a cell. Cells are lysed and purified using antibody based affinity purification followed by digestion and identification using an HPLC coupled to a mass spectrometer. In my studies, I looked at the interaction networks of several AD related genes (Apolipoprotein E, Clusterin variant 1 and 2, Low-density lipoprotein receptor, Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein, Alpha- synuclein and Platelet-activating factor receptor) and an endosomal recycling pathway involved in cholesterol metabolism (Eps15 homology domain 1,2 and 4, Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 and Low-density lipoprotein receptor). Several novel and existing interactors were identified and these interactions were validated using co-immunopurification, which could be the basis for future research. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank my supervisor, Dr. Daniel Figeys, for his support and guidance throughout my studies in his lab. It was a great experience to work in his lab and I am very thankful I was given the chance to learn and work under him. I would also like to thank the members of my lab for all their assistance in learning new techniques and equipment in the lab.

Sugahara1,3, Tambet Teesalu1,4 & Erkki Ruoslahti1,2 Neuropilins (NRPs) are trans-membrane receptors involved in axon guidance and vascular development. Many growth factors and other signalling molecules bind to NRPs through a carboxy (C)-terminal, basic sequence motif (C-end Rule or CendR motif). Peptides with this motif (CendR peptides) are taken up into cells by endocytosis. Tumour-homing CendR peptides penetrate through tumour tissue and have shown utility in enhancing drug delivery into tumours. Here we show, using RNAi screening and subsequent validation studies, that NRP1-mediated endocytosis of CendR peptides is distinct from known endocytic pathways. Ultrastructurally, CendR endocytosis resembles macropinocytosis, but is mechanistically different. We also show that nutrient-sensing networks such as mTOR signalling regulate CendR endocytosis and subsequent intercellular transport of CendR cargo, both of which are stimulated by nutrient depletion. As CendR is a bulk transport pathway, our results suggest a role for it in nutrient transport; CendR-enhanced drug delivery then makes use of this natural pathway. 1 Cancer Research Center, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, California 92037, USA. 2 Center for Nanomedicine, Department of Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California 93106-9610, USA. 3 Department of Surgery, Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, New York 10032, USA.

CONSERVED AND NOVEL PROPERTIES OF CLATHRIN- MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of The Rockefeller University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Laura Macro June 2012 © Copyright by Laura Macro 2012 CONSERVED AND NOVEL PROPERTIES OF CLATHRIN- MEDIATED ENDOCYTOSIS IN DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM Laura Macro, Ph.D. The Rockefeller University 2012 The protein clathrin mediates one of the major pathways of endocytosis from the extracellular milieu and plasma membrane. Clathrin functions with a network of interacting accessory proteins, one of which is the adaptor complex AP-2, to co-ordinate vesicle formation. Disruption of genes involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis causes embryonic lethality in multicellular animals suggesting that clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a fundamental cellular process. However, loss of clathrin-mediated endocytosis genes in single cell eukaryotes, such as S.cerevisiae (yeast), does not cause lethality, suggesting that clathrin may convey specific advantages for multicellularity.
