Project description:TPL2 (MAP3K8) is a central signaling node in the inflammatory response of peripheral immune cells. We find that TPL2 kinase activity modulates microglial cytokine release and is required for microglia-mediated neuron death in vitro. In acute in vivo neuroinflammation settings, TPL2 kinase activity regulates cytokine levels and activation states of microglia. In a tauopathy model of chronic neurodegeneration, loss of TPL2 kinase activity reduces neuroinflammation and rescues synapse loss, brain volume loss, and behavioral deficits. Single-cell RNAseq analysis indicates protection in the tauopathy model was associated with reductions in activated microglia subpopulations as well as infiltrating peripheral immune cells. Overall, using various models, we find that TPL2 kinase activity promotes multiple harmful consequences of microglial activation in the brain including cytokine release, iNOS induction, astrocyte activation, and immune cell infiltration. Consequently, inhibiting TPL2 kinase activity could represent a potential therapeutic strategy in neurodegenerative conditions.

Project description:In autoimmune diseases, accumulation of activated leukocytes correlates with inflammation and disease progression, and therefore, disruption of leukocyte trafficking is an active area of research. The protein kinase Tpl2 (MAP3K8) regulates leukocyte inflammatory responses and is also being investigated for therapeutic inhibition during autoimmunity. Herein, we addressed the contribution of Tpl2 to the regulation of macrophage chemokine and chemokine receptor expression and subsequent migration in vivo using a mouse model of Tpl2 ablation. We found that gene expression of the chemokine ligands CCL2, CCL7, CXCL2, and CXCL3 as well as the chemokine receptors CCR1 and CCR5 were reduced in macrophages from the bone marrow and peritoneal cavities of tpl2-/- mice following stimulation with LPS. LPS stimulation repressed chemokine receptor expression of CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5. Notably, LPS-induced repression of CCR1 and CCR5 was significantly enhanced in Tpl2-deficient macrophages and was observed to be dependent upon Erk activation and independent of PI3K and mTOR signaling. Consistent with alterations in chemokine and chemokine receptor expression, tpl2-/- macrophages were defective in trafficking to the peritoneal cavity following thioglycollate-induced inflammation. Overall, this study demonstrates a Tpl2-dependent mechanism for macrophage expression of both chemokine receptors and their ligands and provides further insight into how Tpl2 inhibition may disrupt inflammatory networks in vivo. microarray was used to profile the genome-wide expression patterns in Tpl2 wild-type and deficient macrophage.

Project description:Communications between immune cells are essential to ensure appropriate coordination of their activities. Here, we observed the infiltration of activated macrophages into the joint-footpads of chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-infected animals. Large numbers of CD64+MHCII+ and CD64+MHCII- macrophages were present in the joint-footpad, preceded by the recruitment of their CD11b+Ly6C+ inflammatory monocyte precursors. Regulation of these myeloid subsets was highly dependent on IFNγ and GM-CSF secreted by CHIKV-specific CD4+ T cells. Transcriptomic and gene ontology analyses of CD64+MHCII+ and CD64+MHCII- macrophages revealed 89 differentially expressed genes, including genes involved in T cell proliferation and differentiation pathways. Depletion of CD64+MHCII+ macrophages from CHIKV-infected mice reduced disease pathology, demonstrating that these cells play a pro-inflammatory role in CHIKV infection. Together, these results highlight the synergistic dynamics of immune cell crosstalk in driving CHIKV immunopathogenesis. This study provides new insights in the disease mechanism and offers opportunities for development of novel anti-CHIKV therapeutics.

Project description:We performed RNA-sequencing of testes derived from Atr+/+ or Atr+/KD 7 weeks old mice. Since Atr+/KD male mice are sterile and present severe spermatogenesis defects, we aimed at analyzing the possible changes in gene expression given by the ATR kinase-dead (KD) mutation

Project description:Longitudinal phenotyping of T cells and myeloid cells in early (day 14) and late (day26) GL261 tumors. Single cell RNA sequencing of CD45+ immune cell from intracranial murine GL261-SIINFEKL tumors 20 days after inoculation. SIINFEKL-reactive T cells were sorted based on dextramer staining. Using time-resolved scRNA-seq of murine tumor-infiltrating immune cells from early (d14) and late stage (d26) syngeneic GL261 gliomas we observed constant MHCII expression by murine microglia over time and overall high but decreasing MHCII expression in late stage bbm indicating a dynamic process of MHCII expression. We show that loss of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (MHCII)-restricted antigen presentation on bbm drives dysfunctional intratumoral tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell states through increased expression of Tox, a critical regulator of T cell exhaustion. By calculating the normalized abundance of T cell states along the pseudotime trajectory of SIINFEKL-reactive CD8+ T cells retrieved from myeloidMHCII-proficient and -deficient microenvironments, we found an enrichment of a distinct T cell state in myeloidMHCIIKO CD8+ T cells that was defined by peak expression of exhaustion markers. Mechanistically, MHCII-dependent activation of CD4+ T cells restricts myeloid-derived osteopontin that triggers a chronic activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (Nfat)2 in tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. In summary, we provide evidence that MHCII-restricted antigen presentation on bbm is a key mechanism to directly maintain functional cytotoxic T cell states in brain tumors.

Project description:Evidence implicating p38γ and p38δ (p38γ/p38δ) in inflammation are mainly based on experiments using p38γ/p38δ deficient (p38γ/δ-/-) mice, which show low levels of TPL2, the kinase upstream of MKK1-ERK1/2 in myeloid cells. This could obscure p38γ/p38δ roles, since TPL2 is essential for regulating inflammation. Here we generated a p38γD171A/D171A/p38δ-/- (p38γ/δKIKO) mouse, expressing kinase-inactive p38γ and lacking p38δ. This mouse exhibited normal TPL2 levels, making it an excellent tool to elucidate specific p38γ/p38δ functions. p38γ/δKIKO mice showed a reduced inflammatory response and less susceptibility to LPS-induced septic shock and Candida albicans infection than wild-type mice. Gene expression analyses in LPS-activated WT and p38γ/δKIKO macrophages revealed that p38γ/p38δ regulated numerous genes implicated in innate immune response.

Project description:Persistent antigenic signalling leads to T cell exhaustion, a dysfunctional state arising in many chronic infections and cancers. Little is known concerning mechanisms limiting exhaustion in immune stimulatory diseases such as asthma. We report that membrane-associated RING-CH1 (MARCH1), the ubiquitin ligase that mediates surface turnover of MHCII and CD86 in professional APCs, plays an essential role in restraining exhaustion of effector CD4+ T cells in a mouse model of asthma. Mice lacking MARCH1 or the ubiquitin acceptor sites of MHCII and CD86 exhibited increased MHCII and CD86 surface expression on lung APCs, and this increase promoted enhanced expression of immune inhibitory receptors by effector CD4+ T cells and inhibited their proliferation. Remarkably, ablation of MARCH1 in mice with established asthma reduced airway infiltration of eosinophils and Th2 cells. Thus, MARCH1 controls exhaustion of effector CD4+ T cells during allergic airway inflammation and may serve as a therapeutic target for asthma.

Project description:In this study on human Tousled-Like-Kinase 2 (TLK2) mass spectrometry-based analysis was applied as part of a molecular characterization of TLK2 in the aim to increase the understanding of the mode of activation of this protein. Specifically, different TLK2 constructs were analyzed to generate a “phosphorylation map” of the TLK2 protein. To analyse the phosphorylation state of TLK2 we used recombinant protein purified from Escherichia coli. Samples of different TLK2 constructs were used for in-gel digestion and analysed by mass spectrometry. All samples were prepared and run in triplicates for label-free quantification. Explanation for MS raw files with TLK2 construct included: Ac: TLK2 construct consisting of amino acid residues 191-772 (Ac indicates active form). KD: TLK2 construct consisting of amino acid residues 191-772 with mutation D613A (KD indicates kinase-dead form).
