Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is overproduced through EGR1 in TET2low resting monocytes


ABSTRACT: Somatic mutation in TET2 gene is one of the most common clonal genetic events detected in age-related clonal hematopoiesis as well as in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). In addition to being a pre-malignant state, TET2 mutated clones are associated with an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, which could involve cytokine/chemokine overproduction by monocytic cells. Here, we show in mice and in human cells that, in the absence of any inflammatory challenge, TET2 down-regulation promotes the production of MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor), a pivotal mediator of atherosclerotic lesion formation. In healthy monocytes, TET2 is recruited to MIF promoter and interacts with the transcription factor EGR1 and histone deacetylases. Disruption of these interactions as a consequence of TET2-decreased expression favors EGR1-driven transcription of MIF gene and its secretion. MIF favors monocytic differentiation of myeloid progenitors. These results designate MIF as a chronically overproduced chemokine and a potential therapeutic target in patients with clonal TET2 down-regulation in myeloid cells.
