The purinergic receptor P2Y11 choreographs the polarization, mitochondrial metabolism, and migration of T lymphocytes.

ABSTRACT: T cells must migrate to encounter antigen-presenting cells and perform their roles in host defense. Here, we found that autocrine stimulation of the purinergic receptor P2Y11 regulates the migration of human CD4 T cells. P2Y11 receptors redistributed from the front to the back of polarized cells where they triggered intracellular cAMP/PKA signals that attenuated mitochondrial metabolism at the back. The absence of P2Y11 receptors at the front of cells resulted in hotspots of mitochondrial metabolism and localized ATP production that stimulated P2X4 receptors, Ca2+ influx, and pseudopod protrusion at the front. This regulatory function of P2Y11 receptors depended on their subcellular redistribution and autocrine stimulation by cellular ATP release and was perturbed by indiscriminate global stimulation. We conclude that excessive extracellular ATP-such as in response to inflammation, sepsis, and cancer-disrupts this autocrine feedback mechanism, which results in defective T cell migration, impaired T cell function, and loss of host immune defense.

Project description:BackgroundTargeting the tumor microenvironment represents an emerging therapeutic strategy for cancer. Macrophages are an essential part of the tumor microenvironment. Macrophage polarization is modulated by mitochondrial metabolism, including oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and reactive oxygen species content. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), an enzyme involved in the TCA cycle, reportedly promotes cancer progression. However, the mechanisms through which IDH2 influences macrophage polarization and modulates tumor growth remain unknown.MethodsIn this study, IDH2-deficient knockout (KO) mice and primary cultured bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were used. Both in vivo subcutaneous tumor experiments and in vitro co-culture experiments were performed, and samples were collected for analysis. Western blotting, RNA quantitative analysis, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry were employed to confirm changes in mitochondrial function and the resulting polarization of macrophages exposed to the tumor microenvironment. To analyze the effect on tumor cells, subcutaneous tumor size was measured, and growth and metastasis markers were identified.ResultsIDH2-deficient macrophages co-cultured with cancer cells were found to possess increased mitochondrial dysfunction and fission than wild-type BMDM. Additionally, the levels of M2-associated markers decreased, whereas M1-associated factor levels increased in IDH2-deficient macrophages. IDH2-deficient macrophages were predominantly M1. Tumor sizes in the IDH2-deficient mouse group were significantly smaller than in the wild-type mouse group. IDH2 deficiency in macrophages was associated with inhibited tumor growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that IDH2 deficiency inhibits M2 macrophage polarization and suppresses tumorigenesis. This study underlines the potential contribution of IDH2 expression in macrophages and tumor microenvironment remodeling, which could be useful in clinical cancer research.
