Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

What is PI3K (structure & classes; class1a (activation), class 1b (activation); PIP3-(in)dep signalling) (1) (1/13)

A
  • group of PM-ass lipid kinases
  • consist of 3 SU
    • p85 reg SU
    • p55 reg SU
    • p110 cata SU
  • categorised into 3 classes by diff struct & specific SBTs
    • class 1a & 1b

CLASS 1a
- α, β, δ
- activated by memb-bound RTKs
- Bind to adaptor SU p85, wh is recruited by its pY binding domain (x2 SH2) to phosphorylated receptors or adaptor proteins (i.e., insulin-receptor substrate)

CLASS 1b
- γ
- activated by GPCR (generally Gi subtype)
- binds to adaptor/regulators (p101, p84/87) and to free G-proteins that = liberated by active GPCRs

ALL CLASS1 PI3Ks:
- phosphorylate PIP2 → PIP3 (2° messenger membrane-lipid)
- PIP3 = docking site for many prot that have PH domains → prolif, survival, growth, migration etc
- occurs via PDK1/AKT/mTOR pathway
OR
- prolif can be PIP3 independent
- RAS = recruited to activated RTK and induces prolif via Raf/Mek/Erk/Msk/Akt/mTOR pathway

Q

Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

What is migration, and trans-endothelial migration (1) (2/13)

A
  • a central process in the development & maint of multicellular organisms
  • T formation during embryonic development, wound healing & IR all require the orchestrated movement of cells in particular directions to specific locations
  • leukocyte trans-endothelial migration (TEM) = crucial for app innate immunity & inflam responses
  • when T = damaged/infected, leukocyte exit BV via
    1) adhering to & probing vascular endothelial cells (VECs)
    2) breaching endothelial C-C junctions
    3) transmigrating across endothelium
  • TEM = critical rate limiting step

Q

Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

Steps in migration - Cell polarisation (molecules @ front (Cdc42, PAR, PKC, MTOC, Golgi); molecules @ back (PTEN, myosin II) (1) (3/13)

A
  • some molecules accumulate @ back of the cell, & some @ front
  • Actv Cdc42, PAR proteins & atypical PKC = involved in generation of polarity
  • Directed vesicle trafficking towards leading edge of cell
  • MTOC → relocalizes behind the nucleus and MT align along the axis of migration w/ individual filaments orienting toward the uropod, F-actin rich lamellipodium becomes populated with only few filaments, extending to the leading edge cell membrane, the MT deliver mRNA, secretory vesicles, integrins & sig molecules to the leading edge of migrating cells
  • Golgi apparatus towards mid/front region
  • PTEN & myosin II → involved in ≠ making protrusions @ back of cell

Q

Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

Steps in migration - Formation of a protrusion (nucleation & actin polymerisation; integrin activation & aggregation) (1) (4/13)

A
  • protrusion & adhesion to SBT i.e., surf of endo cell
  • req nucleation & growth of polymerised actin processes
    • Nucleation = followed by polymerisation of actin, driven by profillin, ENA/VASP etc
  • Adhesion via integrin activation and integrin aggregation (Talin/PKC/Rap1/PI3K & Rac/Cdc42 respectively)
  • protrusions = stabilised by formation of adhesions

Q

Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

Steps in migration - Rear retraction (1) (5/13)

A
  • cell moves through interstitial matrix/BV
  • front of the cell becomes the back of the cell
  • back has to be detached
    • req disassembly of adhesion molecules
    • req retraction of the back of the cell as it becomes the front
    • Ca-activated prot involved (calpain & calcineurin)
    • other molec inv. = FAK, Src, ERK, myosin II, MT, Rho & Ca
  • FAK → reg cell adhesion & migration signals via integrin engagement & ass of focal adhesions by cata downstream sig
    • auto-phos of FAK → PI3K engagement (via p85), → Akt → regulates FAK indirectly
    • FAK/Akt/Rho-GTPas = triple complex inv in signal integration & cross talk.
    • Rho → reg formation of stress fibres

    → Rho-GTPase actv.
    → Actin polymerisation & leading edge formation

PI3K-dep specific example #1: PI3Kδ in Crk-dep integrin signalling (PI3K, LFA-1 & Crk; outside-in signalling) (1) (10/13)

A
  • PI3Kδ = actv DS of TCR & by co-stimulatory & cytokine receptors that stim phos of Y within YXXM motifs that bind to the SH2 domains of the p85 SU
  • LFA-1 also induces PI3Kδ actv via outside-in signalling
    • outside-in: mediates cellular resp induced by ligand binding to integrins
    • engaged integrins direct CS-reorgan
    • T-cells from Crk-/- mice had defects in actin polymerisation, leading edge formation & 2D cell migration
    • Crk = essential mediator of LFA-1 signalling-induced phos of E3-UL, c-Cbl.
    • Crk = essential to phos c-Cbl to recruit PI3K (CS-remodelling)
    • Crk promotes integrin med-PI3K sig

PI3K-dep specific example #2: PI3Kδ in Klf2 & L-selectin signalling (L-selectin downregulation) (1) (11/13)

A
  • TCR trig actv of PI3Kδ → ectodomain shedding & concomitant inhibition of Klf2-dependent XPS’ion of L-selectin in mouse T-cells
  • Terminal diff. of naive T-cells → effector mem-T-cells involves L-selectin shedding & TC’ion shutdown of L-selectin gene
    • drives trafficking of T effector memory cells from 2° lymphoid organs → peripheral T
  • PIP3 generation (PI3K) actv Akt (phos) wh inhibits FOXO1-mediated TC of Klf2
  • L-selectin = adhesion molecules, needs to be downreg so cell can be mobile
  • L-selectin role is complex
    • XPS’ion of L-selectin in human CD8 naïve central memory cells = essential for trafficking toward, & the immune surveillance of, peripheral lymph nodes

PI3K-indep specific example #1: PI3K accelerates, but is not needed for neutrophil chemotaxis to fMLP (accelerated intial, p38 MAPK, ATF-2, MMP-3) (1) (12/13)

A
  • generation of PIP3 at the leading edge of chemotaxing cells ≈ dispensable
  • may be needed for certain stimuli that attract migrating cells, b other sig cascade ≈ used for other ligands
  • study looked at role, data showed that although PI3K enhances early responses to fMLP, it ≠ req for migration towards fMLP
    • in vivo/vitro models of neutro chemotaxis to show PI3K = minor roles
  • PI3K accelerated initial polarisation & chemotaxis
  • had ≠ role in maintaining directionality & speed
  • showed that the p38 MAPK pathway is key for chemotaxis to fMLP (initial polarisation & motility towards fMLP)
    • can be actv by osmotic shock, inflam cytokines, LPS, UV light, and growth factors
    • i.e., TGFβ receptor actv can actv p38 DS, actv TCF (i.e., cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor-2; ATF-2) wh induces TC of genes needed for motility (MMP-3)

Q

Discuss the tole of PI3K-dependent & independent pathways that are involved in leukocyte migration & homing response (1500-WL)

Combined role - proposed model for PI3K-(in)depen polarisation in mouse neutrophils (1) (13/13)

A

PROPOSED MODEL
- chemoattractant → neutrophils partially polarised without PI3K/PIP3
- @ this point, neutro = directional movement @ IMD speed
- PI3Kγ & SHIP1 confine PIP3 to prospective leading edge
- facilitates assembly of complete leading edge & full polarisation
- req for full motility

  • PIP3 stim local actin reorg = supports membrane protrusion
  • PI3K-/- (or inhib) cells migrate slowly
  • disruption of SHIP1 = expansion of PM around entire cell circumference (≈ caused by ↑ PIP3)
  • despite morphological irregularity → leading edge is established in both PI3K-/SHIP1-def neutro → orientation of chemotaxis = intact
    • ∴ PIP3 facilitates formation of leading lamella protrusions needed for full polarisation/motility
    • b/ ≠ needed for direction
  • XS PIP3 outside leading edge = obstructs motility
  • PI3K-I
    • ↓ migration speed of WT-cells
    • ↑ migration speed of SHIP1-/- cells
  • ∴ SHIP1 ≈ role in restricting where PIP3 and by association F-actin can accumulate
  • ∴ ≈ essential for formation of a single, stable pseudopod
