Control of CD8+ T central memory cell formation via ADAP regulation of TRIM21-mediated ubiquitination of ZEB2

ABSTRACT: The ADAP-SKAP1 signaling module plays a critical role in TCR-mediated activation and LFA-1-dependent adhesion; however, its regulatory function in balancing CD8+ T-cell effector differentiation, memory formation, and exhaustion remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that ADAP deficiency drives CD8+ T-cell polarization toward a central memory phenotype (CD44Hi CD62LHi). During acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) Armstrong infection, Adap-/- CD8+ T cells exhibit accelerated effector differentiation, marked by elevated expression of CX3CR1, IFN-γ and granzyme B. Functional analyses revealed that ADAP-deficient CD8+ T cells display heightened cytotoxic capacity in vitro. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) further identified ZEB2 as the most significantly upregulated transcription factor in Adap-/- CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, ADAP interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 and positively regulates TRIM21-mediated K48-linked polyubiquitination of ZEB2, thereby impairing its binding to the SMAD3 promoter. Collectively, our findings define an ADAP-TRIM21-ZEB2 axis that governs CD8+ T-cell differentiation plasticity, offering novel insights into therapeutic strategies for modulating T-cell responses.

Gene expression profile of influenza virus antigen-activated or in vitro stimulated murine CD8+ T cells on day 7

Project description:The precise timing and pathway of memory CD8+ T cells differentiation from naïve T cells have remained undetermined. We found the smaller cell-size and slower cell cycling cells were segregated from the proliferative larger cell-size activated T cell pool at the peak of infection. Gene signature of the smaller cell-size slower cycling cells and the large cell-size proliferative cells was compared to the signature of naïve, effector, central and effector memory CD8+ T cells. Total RNA samples were prepared from sorted populations of larger or smaller cell-sized cells from spleens of influenza virus PR8-OVA-infected mice on day 7 p.i. or from in vitro 7 days culture after stimulation with plate-bound anti-CD3ε (1.0 μg ml−1) and anti-CD28 mAb (0.5 μg ml−1). Effector T-cell control samples were prepared from SIINFEKL (100 ng ml−1) stimulated OT-I cells after 4 days of in vitro culture with rIL-2 (10 ng/ml) and sorted as CD8+CD44hiCD62Llo. Control bona fide effector memory and central memory T cells were sorted from the spleens of PR8-OVA-infected mice on day 42 p.i. Naive cells were sorted as CD8+CD44loCD62Lhi cells from uninfected C57BL/6 mice.

Gene expression data from Zeb2WT, Zeb2KO, T-betWT and T-betKO effector CD8+ T cells during infection

Project description:ZEB2 is a multi-zinc-finger transcription factor known to play a significant role in early neurogenesis and in EMT-dependent tumor metastasis. While the function of ZEB2 in T lymphocytes is unknown, activity of the closely related family member ZEB1 has been implicated in lymphocyte development. Here, we find that ZEB2 expression is upregulated by activated T cells, specifically in the KLRG1hi effector CD8+ T cell subset. Loss of ZEB2 expression results in a significant loss of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells following primary and secondary infection with a severe impairment in the generation of the KLRG1hi effector-memory cell population. We show that ZEB2, which can bind DNA at tandem, consensus E-box sites, regulates gene expression of several E-protein targets and may directly repress CD127 and IL-2 in CD8+ T cells responding to infection. Furthermore, we find that T-bet binds to highly conserved T-box-sites in the ZEB2 gene and that T-bet and ZEB2 regulate similar gene-expression programs in effector T cells, suggesting that T-bet acts upstream and through regulation of ZEB2. Taken together, we place ZEB2 in a larger transcriptional network that is responsible for the balance between terminal differentiation and formation of memory CD8+ T cells. Zeb2WT, Zeb2KO, T-betWT and T-betKO effector CD8+ T cells were sorted into Trizol at day 6 of infection. Two or more replicates per sample were analyzed

The transcription factors ZEB2 and T-bet cooperate to program cytotoxic T cell terminal differentiation

Project description:T-bet is critical for cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) differentiation, but it is unclear how it operates in a graded manner in the formation of both terminal effector and memory precursor cells during infection. We find that at high concentrations T-bet induced expression of Zeb2 mRNA, which then triggered CTLs to adopt terminally differentiated states. ZEB2 and T-bet cooperate to switch on a terminal CTL differentiation program, while simultaneously repressing genes necessary for central memory CTL development. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) showed that a large proportion of these genes were bound by T-bet, and this binding was altered by ZEB2 deficiency. Furthermore, T-bet overexpression could not fully bypass ZEB2 function. Thus, the coordinated actions of T-bet and ZEB2 outline a novel genetic pathway that forces commitment of CTLs to terminal differentiation, thereby restricting their memory cell potential. Splenocyte derived CD8+ T cells from C57BL/6 mice with either a wildtype (WT) (GzmB-Cre Zeb2+/+) or GzmB-Cre Zeb2-fl/fl (Zeb2-/-) backgrounds, following 8 days post infection with LCMV-Armstrong, were subsetted into KLRG1-hi/IL-7R-lo populations (terminal effectors, TE) or KLRG1-lo/IL-7R-hi (memory precursors, MP) populations. Four experimental groups, each with 3 samples, comprised of TE+WT, MP+WT, TE+ZEB2-/-, and MP+ZEB2-/-, were profiled for gene expression utilizing a polyA RNA prep and hybridized to the Illumina microarray platform IlluminaWG-v2.0.

ADAP-METTL3 modulates the inflammatory responses of macrophages via m6A modification of Spry1

Project description:While N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is implicated in macrophage inflammatory responses, its regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Our prior studies demonstrated that a deficiency in immune adaptor protein ADAP promotes inflammation in TLR4-stimulated macrophages. Here, we show that ADAP binds to METTL3, and depletion of Mettl3 alleviates the hyperinflammation in Adap-/- macrophages, indicating METTL3 counteracts the anti-inflammatory function of ADAP in macrophages. Furthermore, LPS induces the METTL3-dependent m6A methylation of Spry1 mRNA in macrophages in the A6988 within the motif GGACU, which is further potentiated upon the depletion of ADAP. Moreover, this positive effect of ADAP deficiency on LPS induced m6A methylation of Spry1 mRNA is dependent on IGF2BP2, which specifically binds to and stabilize the m6A modified Spry1 mRNA that contributes to an exacerbation of the inflammation in Adap-/- macrophages via NF-κB activation in macrophages. Together, our findings unveil a reciprocal inhibition between ADAP and METTL3 fine-tunes the inflammatory responses of macrophages via modulation of the m6A methylation of Spry1 mRNA.

Epigenetically controlled ZEB2 expression promotes the cytotoxic potential of CMV-specific CD8+ T cells

Project description:Zinc finger E-box binding protein 2 (ZEB2) is a key factor in the differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into effector and memory T cells. However, the precise regulatory role of ZEB2 in cytotoxic CD8+ T cells remains unknown. Our recent DNA methylation analysis of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific human CD8+ T cells revealed two differentially methylated regions (DMRs) within the ZEB2 locus. We showed that these ZEB2 DMRs undergo pronounced demethylation during T cell differentiation. In particular, terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells and cytotoxic CD4+ T cells show almost complete demethylation. A ZEB2 knockout approach in CD8+ effector T cells followed by RNA-seq analysis revealed an altered gene expression profile, affecting genes related to cell-cell adhesion and impairing cytotoxicity in CMV-specific killing assays. Our data show that ZEB2 expression contributes to the differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into effector and memory T cells and regulates the functional properties of virus-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells.

ADAP-STAT1 module maintains platelet homeostasis via restraint of macrophage phagocytic in ITP

Project description:Heightened platelet phagocytosis by macrophages accompanied with an increase in IFN-γ is often attributed to the etiology of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), an autoimmune disease characterized by low platelet counts. While deletion of the hematopoietic cell adaptor protein ADAP predisposes to ITP in mice, the mechanisms that underlie the functional role of ADAP during ITP remains largely unknown. Here we report that ADAP restrains platelet clearance by macrophages via modulation of STAT1-FcγR signaling axis. We show that under-expression of ADAP in splenic macrophage was associated with low platelet counts in patients with ITP. Further, macrophages from Adap−/− mice had an elevated phagocytosis capacity and exhibited upregulated pro-inflammatory signaling, and the thrombocytopenia in Adap−/− mice was mitigated in vivo by depletion of macrophages. Mechanically, ADAP interacted and competed with STAT1 binding to importin a5, a nuclear shuttling receptor for activated STAT1. While having no effect on STAT1 tyrosine phosphorylation, loss of ADAP increased the assembly of STAT1-importin a5 complex and facilitated STAT1 nuclear entry, leading to a selective enhancement of transcription of FcγRI/IV in macrophages. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of STAT1 or disruption of STAT1-importin a5 interaction relieved the thrombocytopenia in Adap−/− mice. Thus, our findings reveal a critical role for ADAP as an intracellular immune checkpoint for shaping macrophage phagocytic ability in homeostatic maintenance of platelets.

Inhibitory signaling sustains a distinct early memory CD8+ T cell precursor that is resistant to DNA damage

Project description:The developmental origins of memory T cells remain controversial. During the expansion phase of acute viral infection, we identified a distinct subset of virus-specific CD8+ T cells that possessed unique characteristics including expression of CD62L, TCF-1 and Eomes; relative quiescence; expression of activation markers; and features of limited effector differentiation. These cells were a quantitatively minor subpopulation of the TCF-1+ pool and exhibited self-renewal, heightened DNA damage surveillance activity, and preferential long-term recall capacity. Despite features of memory and somewhat restrained proliferation during the expansion phase, this subset displayed evidence of stronger TCR signaling than other responding CD8+ T cells, coupled with elevated expression of multiple inhibitory receptors including PD-1, LAG-3, CTLA-4, CD5, and CD160. Indeed, genetic ablation of PD-1 and LAG-3 compromised the formation of this CD62Lhi TCF-1+ subset and subsequent CD8+ T cell memory. Although central memory phenotype CD8+ T cells (TCM) were formed in the absence of these cells, subsequent memory CD8+ T cell recall responses were compromised. Together, these results suggest a parsimonious model wherein there is more than a single developmental origin of long-term memory CD8+ T cells, and point to novel links between genome integrity, regulation of signal intensity during priming, inhibitory receptors and generation of long-term CD8+ T cell memory. To gain deeper insight into the biology of this CD62Lhi subset, we performed RNAseq on purified CD62Lhi, IL-7Rαhi and KLRG1hi subsets on day 8 post LCMV Arm infection and included naive P14 CD8+ T cells from uninfected mice as a control.

Inhibition of SPI1 by ADAP regulates S100A8/A9 signaling in macrophages to control the development of colitis

Project description:Although the immune adapter protein ADAP (adhesion and degranulation protein adaptor protein) plays a critical role in regulating the inflammatory responses of macrophages, the impact of this regulation on intestinal inflammation remains elusive. This study reveals that mice with ADAP deficiency had an increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Furthermore, the absence of ADAP leads to increased expression of S100A8/A9 (also known as MRP8 and MRP14, respectively) both in vivo and in vitro, and increased susceptibility to intestinal inflammation. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that ADAP upregulates macrophage E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 (F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7), promoting proteasomal degradation of the transcription factor SPI1(SPI-1 proto-oncogene) and mediates this effect in macrophages during colitis. Whereas ADAP inhibits SPI1 expression in macrophages, ADAP deficiency promotes SPI1 expression and increases the binding of SPI1 to the S100A8/A9 promoter region. Blockade of SPI1 effectively prevents colitis-induced S100A8/A9 upregulation in macrophages. Thus, our findings highlight the potential link between ADAP and intestinal inflammation and pave the way for therapeutic interventions targeting the ADAP-SPI1-S100A8/A9 signaling axis in inflammatory colitis.

Molecular control of PDPNhi macrophage subset induction by ADAP as a host defense in sepsis

Project description:The macrophage response to infected microbes is crucial for the development of life-threatening sepsis. However, the mechanisms underlying pathophysiological regulation of macrophage subsets during sepsis remain poorly understood. Here, we report a novel mechanism in which the adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP) is essential for priming macrophages to induce podoplanin (PDPN) in response to bacterial infection during sepsis. We showed that ADAP expression was robustly induced in macrophages following LPS stimulation and was associated with sepsis severity. Furthermore, PDPN failed to be upregulated in TLR4 stimulated macrophages deficient in ADAP. A distinct PDPNhi peritoneal macrophage (PM) subset, which exhibited an M2-like phenotype and enhanced phagocytic activity, was generated in WT but not in ADAP-deficient septic mice. The blockade of PDPNhi PMs mimicked the effect of ADAP deficiency, which exacerbated sepsis. Mechanistically, BTK-mediated ADAP Y571 phosphorylation worked together with mTOR to converge on STAT3 activation for the transactivation of the PDPN promoter. Moreover, agonist activation of STAT3 profoundly potentiated the PDPNhi PM subset generation and alleviated sepsis severity in mice. Together, our findings reveal a novel mechanism whereby ADAP resets macrophage function by controlling the TLR4-induced upregulation of PDPN as a host innate immune defense during sepsis.
