AMPK signaling downstream of adenosine 2A receptor represses Th17 cell pathogenicity through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic reprogramming controls protective or pathogenic Th17 cell responses; still, the precise molecular pathways that drive distinct immunometabolic states remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that non-pathogenic Th17 cells induced by the immunoregulatory cytokine activin- A display reduced aerobic glycolysis and increased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Notably, signaling through the adenosine A 2A receptor (A 2A R)/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) axis in response to activin-A, boosts OXPHOS and reprograms pathogenic Th17 cells towards non-pathogenic states. Epigenetic studies revealed that pathogenic Th17 cells express highly the CBP/P300 binding protein (PCAF) which facilitates the acetylation of histone 3 at lysine 9 (H3K9ac) at genes related to the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), glycolysis and Th17 pathogenicity programs. Instead, activin-A-treated Th17 cells display an AMPK-mediated suppression of PCAF activity and aerobic metabolism while, accumulate H3K9ac in gene loci related to OXPHOS. Collectively, we uncover A 2A R-AMPK as a central metabolic checkpoint that epigenetically regulates Th17 pathogenicity.

Activin-A limits Th17 pathogenicity and autoimmune neuroinflammation via CD39 and CD73 ectonucleotidases and Hif1-α -dependent pathways

Project description:In multiple sclerosis (MS), Th17 cells are critical drivers of autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) inflammation and demyelination. Th17 cells exhibit functional heterogeneity fostering both pathogenic and non-pathogenic, tissue-protective functions. Still, the factors that control Th17 pathogenicity remain incompletely defined. Here, using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an established mouse MS model, we report that therapeutic administration of activin-A ameliorates disease severity and alleviates CNS immunopathology and demyelination, associated with decreased activation of Th17 cells. In fact, activin-A signaling through activin-like kinase (ALK)4 receptor represses pathogenic transcriptional programs in Th17-polarized cells, while it enhances anti-inflammatory gene modules. Whole genome profiling and in vivo functional studies revealed that activation of the ATP-depleting CD39 and CD73 ectonucleotidases is essential for activin-A-induced suppression of the pathogenic signature and the encephalitogenic functions of Th17 cells. Mechanistically, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, along with STAT3 and c-Maf, are recruited to promoter elements on Entpd1 and Nt5e (encoding CD39 and CD73, respectively) and other anti-inflammatory genes, and control their expression in Th17 cells in response to activin-A. Notably, we show that activin-A negatively regulates the metabolic sensor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 and key inflammatory proteins linked to pathogenic Th17 cell states. Of translational relevance, we demonstrate that activin-A is induced in the CNS of individuals with MS and restrains human Th17 cell responses. These findings uncover activin-A as a novel critical controller of Th17 cell pathogenicity that can be targeted for the suppression of autoimmune CNS inflammation.

The TGF-β superfamily cytokine Activin-A is induced during autoimmune neuroinflammation and drives pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation

Project description:Th17 cells are known to exert pathogenic and non-pathogenic functions. Although the cytokine transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is instrumental for Th17 cell differentiation, it is dispensable for generation of pathogenic Th17 cells. Here, we examined the T cell-intrinsic role of Activin-A, a TGF-β superfamily member closely related to TGF-β1, in pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation. Activin-A expression was increased in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Stimulation with interleukin-6 and Activin-A induced a molecular program that mirrored that of pathogenic Th17 cells and was inhibited by blocking Activin-A signaling. Genetic disruption of Activin-A and its receptor ALK4 in T cells impaired pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, which was essential for pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, was suppressed by TGF-β1-ALK5 but not Activin-A-ALK4 signaling. Thus, Activin-A drives pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, implicating the Activin-A-ALK4-ERK axis as a therapeutic target for Th17 cell-related diseases.

Calcium signaling controls pathogenic Th17 cell-mediated inflammation by regulating mitochondrial metabolism

Project description:Pathogenic Th17 cells play an important role in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Their function is dependent on signaling through the T cell receptor (TCR) and cytokines that activate the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). TCR engagement activates stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and calcium (Ca2+) influx through the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. We here show that deletion of STIM1 and Ca2+ influx in T cells expressing a hyperactive form of STAT3 (STAT3C) attenuates pathogenic Th17 cell function and multiorgan inflammation associated with STAT3C expression. Deletion of STIM1 in pathogenic Th17 cells impairs the expression of nuclear encoded mitochondrial electron transport chain genes and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) but enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Deletion of STIM1 or inhibition of OXPHOS is associated with impaired Th17 cell function and a non-pathogenic Th17 gene expression signature. Our findings establish STIM1 and Ca2+ signals as a critical regulator of OXPHOS and oxidative stress in pathogenic Th17 cells and multiorgan inflammation.

Gcn5 and PCAF negatively regulate interferon β production through HAT-independent inhibition of TBK1 [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Gcn5/PCAF dobule knockout (dKO) in MEFs leads to loss of the global H3K9ac, but only affect expression of a small nubmer of genes according to RNA-Seq data. To examine the function of H3K9ac on gene activation, H3K9ac ChIP-Seq was performed. We found that H3K9ac at Transcriptional Start sites (TSSs) of no-changed, up-regulated and down-regulated genes are all dramatially decreased in Gcn5/PCAF dKO cells, suggesting that H3K9ac is largely not required for gene activation. PCAF-/-;Gcn5f/D MEFs were infected with retroviral Cre to delete Gcn5 to generate Gcn5/PCAF dKO cells, followed by H3K9ac ChIP-Seq analysis

Transcriptional regulation of Th17 differentiation by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation

Project description:We found that mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) plays a critical role in Th17 lineage specification. CD4 T cells differentiated under OXPHOS inhibited conditions show altered metabolic gene profiles (mitochondrial function, glycolysis, and TCA cycle) and pathways associated with cell proliferation. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that mitochondrial respiration impacts transcriptional profiles related to Th17 pathogenic signatures and BATF-sensitive gene clusters. Our study reveals a regulatory role of mitochondrial OXPHOS in transcriptional programming of Th17 lineage commitment.

Population transcriptional profiling of Th17 cells, isolated from CNS or LN at peak of disease in EAE

Project description:Extensive cellular heterogeneity exists within specific immune-cell subtypes classified as a single lineage, but its molecular underpinnings are rarely characterized at a genomic scale. Here, we use single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the molecular mechanisms governing heterogeneity and pathogenicity of Th17 cells isolated from the central nervous system (CNS) and lymph nodes (LN) at the peak of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) or polarized in vitro under either pathogenic or non-pathogenic differentiation conditions. Computational analysis reveals a spectrum of cellular states in vivo, including a self-renewal state, Th1-like effector/memory states and a dysfunctional/senescent state. Relating these states to in vitro differentiated Th17 cells, unveils genes governing pathogenicity and disease susceptibility. Using knockout mice, we validate four novel genes: Gpr65, Plzp, Toso and Cd5l (in a companion paper). Cellular heterogeneity thus informs Th17 function in autoimmunity, and can identify targets for selective suppression of pathogenic Th17 cells while sparing non-pathogenic tissue-protective ones.
