The deacetylase SIRT2 contributes to autoimmune disease pathogenesis by modulating IL-17A and IL-2 transcription

ABSTRACT: Aberrant expression of IL-17A together with abated IL-2 production by effector CD4+ T cells contributes to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we report that Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a member of the family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases, suppresses IL-2 production by CD4+ T cells while it promotes their differentiation into Th17 cells. Mechanistically, we show that SIRT2 is responsible for the deacetylation of p70S6K and the activation of the mTORC1/HIF-1α/RORγt pathway and the generation of Th17 cells differentiation. Additionally, SIRT2 is responsible for the deacetylation of c-Jun and histones on the Il-2 gene, resulting in decreased IL-2 production. We found that the transcription factor inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER), which is overexpressed in T cells from people with SLE and lupus-prone mice, binds directly to the Sirt2 promoter and promotes its transcription. AK-7, a SIRT2 inhibitor limited the ability of adoptively transferred antigen-specific CD4+ T cells to cause autoimmune encephalomyelitis and disease in the lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice. Finally, CD4+ T cells from SLE patients exhibited increased expression of SIRT2, and pharmacological inhibition of SIRT2 in primary CD4+ T cells from patients with SLE attenuated their ability to differentiate into Th17 cells and promoted IL-2–producing T cells. Collectively, these results suggest that SIRT2-mediated deacetylation is essential for the aberrant expression of IL-17A and IL-2 and that SIRT2 may be a promising molecular target for new therapies for SLE.

Gene expression analysis in T cells from spleens of mice that provide a model for systemic lupus erythematosus

Project description:This laboratory focuses on the interactions of murine CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) with CD4+CD25- T cells, both from a fundamental biological point of view, and in the context of a murine model of lupus. This study characterized the surface glycans expressed by CD25 and CD25- CD4 T cells selected from lupus-prone (systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE) mouse strains MRL/Mp and NZB/W F1 and two control strains, CBA/Ca (haplotype-matched with the MRL/Mp; H-2k) and BALB/c. A transcriptomic survey of freshly isolated and bead-activated CD25 and CD25- CD4 T cells selected from mouse spleens was conducted using these four strains. Three replicate samples of each condition were hybridized to the GLYCOv2 array, for a total of 48 samples.

The cytokine IL-17A limits Th17 pathogenicity via a negative feedback loop driven by autocrine induction of IL-24

Project description:Dysregulated Th17 cell responses underlie multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune uveitis and its animal model, EAU. However, clinical trials targeting IL-17A in uveitis were not successful. Here, we found that Th17 cells were regulated by their own signature cytokine, IL-17A. Loss of IL-17A in autopathogenic Th17 cells did not reduce their pathogenicity and instead elevated their expression of the Th17 cell cytokines GM-CSF and IL-17F. Mechanistic in vitro studies revealed a Th17 cell-intrinsic autocrine loop triggered by binding of IL-17A to its receptor, leading to activation of transcription factor NFκB and induction of IL 24, which repressed the Th17 cytokine program. In vivo, IL-24 treatment ameliorated Th17-induced EAU, whereas silencing of IL-24 in Th17 cells enhanced disease. This regulatory pathway also operated in human Th17 cells. Thus, IL-17A limits pathogenicity of Th17 cells by inducing IL-24. These findings may explain the disappointing therapeutic effect in targeting IL-17A in uveitis.

p55 and p75 tumor necrosis factor receptor double KO and systemic lupus erythematosis

Project description:Gene expresion comperison of p55/p75 double knock and it control B57B6 identified a number of inflammatory genes and cytokines genes play important roles in this study. TNFa has both pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory functions. Whereas a protective role for TNF administration in SLE-prone (NZB x NZW)F1 mice has been established, it remains uncertain whether this effect segregates at the individual TNF receptors (TNFR). We generated SLE-prone New Zealand Mixed 2328 mice genetically deficient in TNF receptor 1, in TNF receptor 2, or in both receptors. Doubly-deficient mice developed accelerated pathological and clinical nephritis with elevated levels of circulating IgG anti-dsDNA autoantibodies and increased numbers of CD4+ T lymphocytes, especially activated memory (CD44highCD62Llow) CD4+ T cells. We show that these cells expressed a Th17 gene profile, were positive for IL-17 intracellular staining by FACS, and produced exogenous IL-17 in culture. In contrast, immunological, pathological, and clinical profiles of mice deficient in either TNF receptor alone did not differ from those in each other or from those in wild-type controls. Thus, total ablation of TNFa-mediated signaling was highly deleterious to the host in the NZM 2328 SLE model. These observations may have profound ramifications for the use of TNF- and TNF receptor-antagonists in human SLE and related autoimmune disorders, as well as demonstrate, for the first time, the association of the Th17 pathway with an animal model of SLE.

IL-17 cytokines preferentially act on naïve CD4+ T cells

Project description:CD4+ Th17 T cells are a key helper population in the regulation of both protective immunity during infection and in self-tolerance. Through the secretion of IL-17, Th17 cells act in promotion of inflammation and thus a major therapeutic target for autoimmune disorders. Recent reports have brought to light that the IL-17 family cytokines, IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17AF, can directly act on CD4+ T-cells, both in murine and human systems. Here we show that this action is preferentially targeted toward naïve, but not memory, CD4+ T-cells. Moreover, IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17AF led to reduction in immune signaling genes, but an increase in interferon responsive genes across all treatments. In addition, IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17AF treatment possessed differences in downstream transcriptional signaling, with IL-17AF heterodimer conferring both the greatest transcriptional change and suppressed phenotype. Detailed transcriptome analysis provides important functional insights into the genes and pathways that are modulated as a result of IL-17-mediated signaling.

Down-regulation of miR-200a-3p, targeting C-terminal binding protein-2 (CtBP2), is involved in hypoproduction of IL-2 in SLE-derived T cells

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) damages multiple organs by producing various autoantibodies. Insufficient interleukin-2 (IL-2) production causes decreased regulatory T cells and permits expansion of autoreactive T cells in the development of SLE. We here show that decreased miR-200a-3p causes IL-2 hypoproduction through directly recruiting ZEB1 or ZEB2 and CtBP2 (ZEB1/ZEB2-CtBP2) complex in SLE T cells. First, we performed RNA sequencing with Illumina Hiseq to obtain the candidate miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of SLE. We found that miR-200a-3p was significantly downregulated, while its putative targets, ZEB2 and CtBP2 were upregulated in CD4+ T cells in MRL/lpr lupus model mice compared with those of C57BL/6J control mice. ZEB1 and ZEB2 compose ZEB family and suppress various genes including IL-2 by recruiting CtBP2. IL-2 plays a critical role in immune tolerance and IL-2 defect has been recognized in SLE pathogenesis. Therefore, we hypothesized that decreased miR-200a-3p cause IL-2 defect through ZEB1/ZEB2-CtBP2 complex in SLE CD4+T cells. Overexpression of miR-200a-3p induced IL-2 production though downregulating ZEB1, ZEB2 and CtBP2 in EL4 cell lines. We further revealed that miR-200a-3p promote IL-2 expression by reducing the bindings of suppressive ZEB1/ZEB2-CtBP2 complex on NRE-A of IL-2 promoter in SLE murine T cells. Interestingly, ZEB1/ZEB2-CtBP2 complex on NRE-A (a negative regulatory element) were significantly upregulated after phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate and ionomycin (PMA/Iono) stimulation in lupus T cells. Our findings provide a new insight for the epigenetic regulation of IL-2 defect in SLE.

Gene expression profile of IFNα transgenic mice

Project description:The cause of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is unknown. Interferonα (IFNα) has been suggested as a causative agent of SLE, however, it is not proven, and to what extent and how IFNα contributes to the disease is unknown. We here directly studied the contribution of IFNα to SLE by generating inducible IFNα transgenic mice which showed that conditional up-regulation of IFNα induced a typical manifestation of SLE including serum immune complex (IC), autoantibody against double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA Ab) and the organ manifestations classical to SLE such as IC-deposited glomerulonephritis, classical splenic onion-skin lesion, and alopecia, epidermal liquefaction, positive lupus-band test of the skin. In the spleen of mice, activated effector CD4 T cells, interferonγ-producing CD8 T cells, B220+CD86+ cells and CD11c+CD86+ cells were increased, and the T cells produced increased amounts of IL-4, IL-6, IL-17 and IFNγ and decreased IL-2. In particular, activated CD3+CD4-CD8- double-negative T (DNT) cells positive for TCRαβ, B220, CD1d-teteramer, PD-1 and Helios, which produced increased amounts of IFNγ, IL-4, IL-17 and TNFα, were significantly expanded. They infiltrated into kidney and induced de novo glomerulonephritis and alopecia when transferred into naïve recipients. Thus, conditional up-regulation of IFNα is sufficient to induce SLE, and the DNT cells as expanded by IFNα are directly responsible for the organ manifestations such as lupus skin disease or nephritis.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the heterogeneity of IL-10 producing regulatory B cells in lupus-prone mice

Project description:B cells have both pathogenic and protective roles in autoimmune disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Deficiencies in the number or immunosuppressive function of IL-10 producing regulatory B cells (Bregs) can cause exacerbated autoimmune inflammation. However, the exact role of Bregs in lupus pathogenesis has not been elucidated. We carried out gene expression by scRNA-seq to characterize differences in splenic Breg subsets and molecular profiles through stages of disease progression in lupus-prone mice.

Methylome of CD4+ T cell subsets

Project description:We compared the methylated and non-methylated regions in the genome of ex vivo-isolated naive CD4+ T cells, Th1 cells, Th17 cells and regulatory T cells by methyl-CpG binding domain protein sequencing (MBD-seq). Naive T cells and Th1 cells share more methylated regions than naive T cells and Th17 cells or Th1 and Th17 cells. However, analysis of the non-methylated regions revealed the highest similarity between Th1 and Th17 cells. Another aim was the analysis of the Th17 lineage on the basis of the methylome. We searched for regions absent in the methylome of Th17 but present in naive T cells, Th1 cells and regulatory T cells. Here, we identified differential methylation in the loci of Il17a, Chn2, Dpp4 and Dclk1. CD4+ T effector cells were prepared ex vivo, stimulated with PMA/Ionomycin, subjected to a comercially available cytokine secretion kit (IL-17A and IFNg), stained by adding fluorescence-labeled antibodies against CD3, CD4 and CD45RB and sorted by flow cytometry. We sorted naive CD4+ T cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_high), Th1 cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_low_IFNg+IL17A-), Th17 cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_low_IFNg-IL17A+) and regulatory T cells (CD3+CD4+CD25++).

LKB1/STK11-sensing of mitochondrial function controls Th17 cell responses

Project description:T helper 17 (Th17) cells are a distinct subset of CD4+ T cells necessary for maintaining gut homeostasis and have prominent roles in autoimmunity and inflammation. Th17 cells have unique metabolic features, including a stem cell-like signature and reliance on mitochondrial respiratory chain function and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to coordinate metabolic and epigenetic remodeling. Dynamic changes in mitochondrial membrane morphology are key to sustain organelle function. However, it remains unclear whether mitochondrial membrane remodeling orchestrates metabolic and differentiation events in Th17 cells. Here we demonstrate that mitochondrial membrane fusion and tight cristae organization are required for Th17 cell function (i.e. cytokine expression). As a genetic model system we employ Th17 specific deletion of optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), a gene that encodes a protein involved in mitochondrial inner membrane fusion and cristae organization. As a result, we find that Th17 cells rely on mitochondrial fusion (due to their low metabolic activity). Here, we carry out DIA-based differential quantitative proteomic analysis of murine wild-type and OPA1 knock-out Th17 cells. Through Ingenuity pathway analysis and together with transcriptional and metabolomic profiling we identify the serine/threonine kinase liver associated kinase B1 (LKB1/STK11) as an essential node coupling mitochondrial function to IL-17A cytokine expression in T cells.

RNA-Sequencing of CD4, CD8 and CD19 splenocytes from mouse models of SLE

Project description:Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects 20-150 out of 100,000 people globally. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to risk for SLE and autoimmune states and are potential targets for the treatment of autoimmunity. HRES-1/Rab4 (Rab4A) is a GTPase linked to mitochondrial oxidative stress and activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and has been linked to SLE pathogenesis. Here, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to examine the expression of different classes of splenocytes (CD4+, CD8+, CD19+) from the lupus-prone SLE1.2.3. triple-congenic (B6.TC) mouse, as well as Rab4AQ72L mutant mice (which exhibits constitutive overexpression of Rab4a), and mice with CD4 T cell-specific deletion of Rab4A (KO).
