EGFR-HIF1α signaling positively regulates the differentiation of IL-9 producing T helper cells

ABSTRACT: Interleukin 9 (IL-9)-producing helper T (Th9) cells are essential for inducing anti-tumor immunity and inflammation in allergic and autoimmune diseases. Although transcription factors that are essential for Th9 cell differentiation have been identified, other signaling pathways that are required for their generation and functions are yet to be found. Here we identified that Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is essential for IL-9 induction in Th cells. Moreover, amphiregulin (Areg), an EGFR ligand, is critical for the amplification of Th9 cells induced by TGF-β1 and IL-4. Furthermore, our data show that AREG-EGFR signaling induces HIF1α, which binds and transactivates IL-9, IRF4 and NOS2 promoters in Th9 cells. Loss of EGFR or HIF1α abrogates Th9 cell differentiation and suppress their anti-tumor functions. Moreover, in line with its reliance on HIF1α expression, metabolomics profiling of Th9 cells revealed that succinate, a TCA cycle metabolite, promotes Th9 cell differentiation and Th9 cell-mediated tumor regression.

Transcription factor Foxo1 is essential for IL-9 induction in T helper cells

Project description:Interleukin 9 (IL-9) producing helper T (Th9) cells play a crucial role in allergic inflammation, autoimmunity, immunity to extracellular pathogens and anti-tumor immune response. In addition to Th9, Th2, Th17 and Foxp3+ Treg cells produce IL-9. Transcription factor that is critical for IL-9 induction in Th2, Th9 and Th17 cells has not been identified. Here we show that Foxo1, a forkhead family transcription factor, requires for IL-9 induction in Th9 and Th17 cells. We further show that inhibition of AKT enhances IL-9 induction in Th9 cells while it reciprocally regulates IL-9 and IL-17 in Th17 cells via Foxo1. Mechanistically, Foxo1 binds and transactivates IL-9 and IRF4 promoters in Th9, Th17 and iTregs. Furthermore, loss of Foxo1 attenuates IL-9 in mouse and human Th9 and Th17 cells, and ameliorates allergic inflammation in asthma. Our findings thus identify that Foxo1 is essential for IL-9 induction in Th9 and Th17 cells.

SIRT1 negatively regulates the differentiation of IL-9-producing CD4+T cells

Project description:Distinct metabolic programs support the differentiation of CD4+T cells into their separate lineages. In this study, we investigated metabolic mechanisms underlying the differentiation of IL-9 producing-CD4+T cells (TH9) in allergic airway inflammation and cancerous tumors. We found here that SIRT1 negatively regulates TH9 differentiation. A deficiency of SIRT1 induced by either conditional deletion in mouse CD4+T cells or the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) in mouse or human T cells increased IL-9 production, whereas ectopic SIRT1 expression inhibited it. Notably, SIRT1-inhibited the differentiation of TH9 cells that regulated anti-tumor immunity and allergic pulmonary inflammation. Glycolytic activation through the mTOR-hypoxia-inducible factor-1Î± (HIF1Î±) pathway was required for the differentiation of the TH9 cells that confer protection against tumors and are involved in allergic airway inflammation. Our results define the essential features of a SIRT1-mTOR-HIF1Î± signaling-coupled glycolytic pathway in inducing TH9 cell differentiation, with implications for metabolic reprogramming as an immunotherapeutic approach. Lymphocytes were isolated from the spleen and lymph nodes of mice and sorted on a FACSAria II (Becton Dickinson). The sorted naÃ¯ve T cells (CD4+TCR+CD62Lhi CD44lo) from WT or SIRT1flox/flox-CD4-Cre mice were used for in vitro culture. T cells were activated with 2 ug/ml anti-CD3 (2C11; Bio X Cell), 2 ug/ml anti-CD28 (37.51; Bio X Cell) and 100 U/ml human IL-2. For TH9 cell differentiation, cultures were supplemented with 10 ng/ml IL-4 (R&D system), 2 ng/ml TGFÎ²1 (R&D system). After 5-6 d culture, differentiated T cells were collected and for microarray assay.

Proteome analysis revealed the essential functions of protein phosphatase PP2A in the induction of Th9 cells

Project description:we performed proteome analysis of Th9 cells to understand the involvement of proteins that might be crucial for the anti-tumor functions of Th9 cells. Here we show for the first time a comprehensive proteomic analysis of murine Th0 and Th9 cells, which identified 1451 total proteins among which 1367 proteins were common. Further analysis revealed that 118 proteins were upregulated while 81 proteins were downregulated in Th9 cells. Pathway analysis suggested an abundance of phosphoproteins in the proteome of Th9 cells. Among upregulated phosphoproteins which showed to be involved in immune 34 system, Ppp2ca (catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase, PP2A) was found to be highly expressed in Th9 cells. Although the role of PP2A has been shown to regulate the differentiation and functions of Th1,Th2, Th17 and Tregs, its role in differentiation and functions of Th9 cells is not identified yet. Our results show for the first time that PP2A is required for the differentiation and anti-tumor functions of Th9 cells. PP2A inhibition leads to the suppression of IL-9 induction and the expression of key transcription factors of Th9 cells.

Tumor rejection in Cblb-/- mice depends on IL-9 and Th9 cells

Project description:Casitas B lymphoma-b (Cbl-b) is a central negative regulator of cytotoxic T and NK cells, explaining its intracellular checkpoint function in cancer. Increasing evidence highlights the importance of CD4+ T helper cell populations (e.g., IL-9 producing T cells: Th9 cells) for anti-cancer immunity. We here provide experimental evidence that Cbl-b acts as rheostat favoring regulatory T cells (Treg) at the expense of Th9 cell differentiation. Adoptively transferred tumor-model antigen specific Cblb-/- Th9 cells exert superior anti-tumor activity leading to improved melanoma control in vivo. Accordingly, blocking IL-9 in melanoma cell-exposed Cblb-/- mice reverses their tumor rejection phenotype. Single cell RNA sequencing of in vitro differentiated Th9 cells from naïve T cells isolated from WT and Cblb-/- animals revealed the transcriptomic basis for increased Th9 cells differentiation. In summary, we here first establish IL-9 and Th9 cells as key anti-tumor executers in Cblb-/- animals. This knowledge may be helpful for future improvement of adoptive T cell therapies in cancer.

Effect of IL-7 on CD4+ T cell and Th9 cells

Project description:We found that IL-7 pretreatment enhanced Th9 differentiation. To clarify the underlying mechanisms, we examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ T cell and Th9 cells with or without IL-7 pretreatment. In Th9 cells, we found that Th9 related genes were greatly increased in IL-7 Th9 group, which demonstrated an enhanced Th9 differentiation. In CD4+ T cells, we found that IL-7 treatment resulted in a global gene expression change especially on chromatin remodeling related genes, which facilitated the entry of transcriptional factor to the Il9 promoter region and promoted Il9 transcription.

Opposing actions of IL-2 and IL-21 on Th9 differentiation correlate with their differential regulation of BCL6 expression

Project description:Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a γc-family cytokine that is highly produced by T-helper 9 (Th9) cells and regulates a range of immune responses, including allergic inflammation. Here we show that IL-2–JAK3–STAT5 signaling is required for Th9 differentiation, with critical STAT5 binding sites in the Il9 (the gene encoding IL-9) promoter. IL-2 also inhibited B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) expression, and over- expression of BCL6 impaired Th9 differentiation. In contrast to IL-2, IL-21 induced BCL6 and diminished IL-9 expression in wild-type but not Bcl6−/− cells, whereas Th9 differentiation was increased in Il21−/− or Il21r−/− T cells. Interestingly, BCL6 bound in proximity to many STAT5 and STAT6 binding sites, including at the Il9 promoter. Moreover, there was increased BCL6 and decreased STAT binding at this site in cells treated with blocking antibodies to IL-2 and the IL-2 receptor, suggesting a possible BCL6–STAT5 binding competition that influences IL-9 production. BCL6 binding was also increased when cells were Th9-differentiated in the presence of IL-21. Thus, our data reveal not only direct IL-2 effects via STAT5 at the Il9 gene, but also opposing actions of IL-2 and IL-21 on BCL6 expression, with increased BCL6 expression inhibiting IL-9 production. These data suggest a model in which increasing BCL6 expression decreases efficient Th9 differentiation, indicating possible distinctive approaches for controlling this process. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of STAT5B and STAT6 in mouse polarized Th9 cells treated with or without blocking antibodies to IL-2 (anti-IL-2). RNA-Seq is conducted in WT and Il2-/- mice.

The DNA-binding inhibitor Id3 regulates IL-9 production in CD4+ T cells

Project description:The molecular mechanisms by which signaling via transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) control the differentiation of IL-9-producing CD4+ helper T cells (TH9 cells) remain incompletely understood. We found here that the DNA-binding inhibitor Id3 regulated TH9 cell differentiation, as deletion of Id3 increased IL-9 production from CD4+ T cells. Mechanistically, TGF-β1 and IL-4 downregulated Id3 expression, and this process required the kinase TAK1. A reduction in Id3 expression enhanced binding of the transcription factors E2A and GATA-3 to the Il9 promoter region, which promoted Il9 transcription. Notably, Id3’s control of TH9 differentiation regulated anti-tumor immunity in an experimental melanoma-bearing model in vivo and also in human CD4+ T cells in vitro. Thus, our study reveals a previously unrecognized TAK1–Id3–E2A–GATA-3 pathway that regulates TH9 differentiation.

The transcription factor BATF3 regulates the differentiation of TH9 cells and TH9-driven mucosal pathologies

Project description:T helper 9 (TH9) cells are important for the development of inflammatory and allergic diseases. The TH9 transcriptional network converge signals from cytokines and antigen presentation but is incompletely understood. Here, we identified TL1A, a member of the TNF superfamily, as strong inducer of mouse and human TH9 differentiation. Mechanistically, TL1A induced the expression of the transcription factors BATF and BATF3 and facilitated their binding to the Il9 promoter leading to enhanced secretion of IL-9. BATF- and BATF3-deficiencies impaired IL-9 secretion under TH9 and TH9-TL1A polarizing conditions. In vivo, using a T cell transfer model we demonstrated that TL1A promoted IL-9-dependent, TH9 cell-induced intestinal and lung inflammation. Neutralizing IL-9 antibodies attenuated TL1A-driven mucosal inflammation. Batf3-/- TH9-TL1A cells induced reduced inflammation and cytokine expression in vivo compared to WT cells. Our results demonstrate that TL1A promotes TH9 cell differentiation and function and define a role of BATF3 in TH9-induced mucosal inflammation.
