Fas promotes T helper-17 cell differentiation and inhibits development of T helper-1 cells by binding and sequestering the STAT1 transcription factor

ABSTRACT: The death receptor Fas removes activated lymphocytes through apoptosis. Previous transcriptional profiling predicted that Fas positively regulates interleukin (IL)-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells. We here demonstrate that Fas promoted the generation and stability of Th17 cells and prevented their differentiation into Th1 cells. Mice with T cell- and Th17 cell-specific deletion of Fas were protected from induced autoimmunity and Th17 cell differentiation and stability was impaired. Fas deficient Th17 cells instead developed a Th1 cell-like transcriptional profile, which we predicted by a new algorithm to depend on STAT1. Experimentally, Fas indeed bound and sequestered STAT1 and Fas deficiency enhanced IL-6 induced STAT1 activation and nuclear translocation, whereas Fas-STAT1 double-deficiency reversed the transcriptional changes induced by Fas deficiency. Thus, our computational and experimental approach identified Fas as a regulator of the Th17-to-Th1 cell balance by controlling the availability of the opposing STAT1 and STAT3 proteins with direct impact on autoimmunity.

Cytokine receptor modulation by interleukin-2 broadly regulates T helper cell lineage differentiation

Project description:T helper (Th) cells control host defense to pathogens. IL 12R expression is required for Th1, IL-4RM-NM-1 for Th2, and IL-6RM-NM-1/gp130 for Th17 differentiation to allow responsiveness to IL-12, IL-4, and IL-6, respectively. IL-2 via STAT5 controls Th2 differentiation by regulating the Th2 cytokine gene cluster and Il4ra expression. Here we show that IL-2 regulates Th1 differentiation, inducing STAT5-dependent IL-12RM-NM-22 and T-bet expression, with impaired human Th1 differentiation when IL-2 was blocked. Th1 differentiation was also impaired in mouse Il2-/- T cells but restored by IL-12RM-NM-22 expression. Consistent with IL-2M-bM-^@M-^Ys inhibition of Th17 differentiation, IL-2 decreased Il6ra and Il6st/gp130 expression, and Il6st augmented Th17 differentiation even when IL-2 was present. Thus, IL-2 influences T-cell differentiation by modulating cytokine receptor expression to help specify/maintain differentiated states. Genome-wide mapping of STAT1,STAT4,STAT5A,STAT5B binding to their target genes in Th1 or human CD4+ cells was conducted

Retinoic acid signaling constrains the plasticity of Th1 cells and prevents development of pathogenic Th17 cells [Affymetrix experiments]

Project description:CD4+ T cells differentiate into phenotypically distinct T-helper cells upon antigenic stimulation. Regulation of plasticity between these CD4+ T-cell lineages is critical for immune homeostasis and prevention of autoimmune diseases. However, the factors that regulate lineage stability are largely unknown. Here we investigate a role for retinoic acid (RA) in the regulation of lineage stability using T helper 1 (Th1) cells, traditionally considered the most phenotypically stable Th subset. We found that RA, through its receptor RARa, sustains stable expression of Th1 lineage specifying genes as well as repressing genes that instruct Th17 cell fate. RA signaling is essential for limiting Th1 cell conversion into Th17 effectors and for preventing pathogenic Th17 responses in vivo. Our studies identify RA-RARa as a key component of the regulatory network governing Th1 cell fate and define a new paradigm for the development of pathogenic Th17 cells. These findings have important implications for autoimmune diseases in which dysregulated Th1-Th17 responses are observed. IFN-gamma+ Th1 cells from IFNgeYFP reporter mouse; comparing dnRARa to WT

Glycolysis Promotes Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Signaling In Support of T Helper 17 Cell-Mediated Autoimmunity

Project description:T helper (Th) cell differentiation is driven by antigen and accessory signals that activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) to induce transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming including aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). Here, we show that ATP generated through glycolysis fuels PI3K signaling to promote pathogenic Th17 cell responses. Mice with T cell-specific ablation of the glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) were resistant to Th17 cell-mediated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in association with defective T cell activation, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. LDHA deficiency crippled the cellular redox balance and inhibited ATP production causing attenuated phosphoinositide (3,4,5)-trisphosphate generation, and diminished activation of the Akt kinase and phosphorylation of its transcription factor target Foxo1. Th17 cell-specific expression of an Akt-insensitive Foxo1 mutant recapitulated the Th17 cell differentiation defects caused by LDHA deficiency. Thus, PI3K signaling and glycolytic bioenergetics constitute a positive feedback regulatory circuit essential for Th17 cell-mediated autoimmunity.

Targeted next generation sequencing of 589 genes identifies complementary responses in t-helper-like T regulatory cells

Project description:Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a pivotal role in maintaining peripheral immunological tolerance, by preventing autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. However, they can also play a parallel role in the promotion of antitumor responses. Tregs can be classified as T helper (Th)-like Tregs that phenotypically resemble Th1/Th2/Th17/TH1-TH17 lineages based upon the expression of specific chemokine receptors and transcription factors. The distribution of these Treg subsets can provide mechanistic insights into disease processes, therefore we sought to characterise their immune transcriptome. Targeted RNA sequencing revealed that circulating Th2-like Tregs displayed higher viability and activation as well as suggesting specific disease pathways associated to sifferent T reg subtypes.

STAT1 deficiency underlies a proinflammatory imprint of naive CD4+ T cells in spondyloarthritis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:In spondyloarthritis (SpA), an increased type 3 immune response, including T helper cells (Th) 17 excess, is observed in both human and SpA animal models, such as the HLA-B27/human β2-microglobulin transgenic rat (B27-rat). To investigate this unexplained Th17-biased differentiation, we focused on understanding the immunobiology of B27-rat naive CD4+ T cells (Tn). We observed that neutrally stimulated B27-rat Tn developed heightened Th17 profile even before disease onset, suggesting an intrinsic proinflammatory predisposition. In parallel with this observation, transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis showed that B27-rat Tn exhibited a decreased expression of Interferon/Th1- and increased expression of Th17-related genes. This molecular signature was predicted to be related to an imbalance of STAT1/STAT3 transcription factors activity. Stat1 mRNA and STAT1 protein expression were decreased before disease onset in Tn, even in their thymic precursors, whereas Stat3/STAT3 expression increased upon disease establishment. Confirming the relevance of these results, STAT1 mRNA expression was also decreased in Tn from SpA patients, as compared with healthy controls and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Finally, stimulation of B27-rat Tn with a selective STAT1 activator abolished this preferential IL-17A expression, suggesting that STAT1 altered activity in B27-rats allows Th17 differentiation. Altogether, B27-rat Tn harbor a STAT1 deficiency preceding disease onset, that may occur during their thymic differentiation, secondarily associated with a persistent Th17 bias, which is imprinted at the epigenomic level. This early molecular phenomenon might lead to the persistent proinflammatory skew of CD4+ T cells in SpA patients, thus offering new clues to better understand and treat SpA.
