Optineurin modulates mTORC2/AKT/STAT3 signaling to control MHC II expression and adaptive immunity against HSV-1

ABSTRACT: Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection contributes to immunopathogenic diseases and lacks an effective vaccine. Improving antigen presentation is key to better vaccine strategies and more robust immune responses. Here, we show that OPTN, an autophagy receptor traditionally involved in protein recycling, unexpectedly stabilizes RICTOR (mTORC2), a crucial step in enhancing MHC-II surface expression in dendritic cells. OPTN regulates the AKT/mTOR/STAT3 pathway, with AKT2 isoform playing a central role. Using scRNA-seq and transgenic mouse models, we identify the mechanistic details of this pathway. Dysregulation impairs antigen presentation, weakening immunity and vaccine efficacy. Our findings uncover a novel function for OPTN and highlight its role in coordinating innate and adaptive immune defenses, with implications for vaccine development and immune response modulation in HSV-1 and other viral and bacterial diseases.

Optineurin inhibition impedes type II collagen challenged dendritic cell migration

Project description:Due to the maturation, migration and antigen presentation functions, dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the development of many autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and dermatitis. However, the molecular regulatory process of disease- or antigen-specific DC activation remains elusive. We show that deletion of Optineurin (OPTN) effectively impairs type II collagen (CII), the main autoantigen for rheumatoid arthritis, challenged DC migration, thus ameliorating collagen-induced arthritis. Transcriptome analyses indicate that OPTN promotes the expressions of migration related genes. Our findings thus indicate that OPTN is an important regulator of CII-pulsed DC migration, which may be of potential value for the accurate treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

MPS vaccination alters long-term gene expression of antigen-presenting cells in lymph nodes

Project description:Given the importance of sustained antigen presentation in maintenance of lymph node (LN) immune responses, we hypothesized that vaccine antigen availability and antigen-presenting cell (APC) populations may affect LN expansion. Compared to LNs of mice given the full MPS vaccine, LNs of mice given an MPS vaccine without antigen became prominently less enlarged and contracted sooner.To identify potential mediators of this differential, antigen-dependent response, we next focused the analysis of our scRNA-seq dataset on LN APC populations.

Exosomal-miRNA sequencing of optineurin gene knockdown BV2 cells and wild type BV2 cells

Project description:To compare the miRNA profiles in exosomes derived from optineurin gene knockdown (Optn-KD)BV2s cells and wild type (WT) BV2 cells, BV2 cells were divided into two groups, Optn-KD group or WT group. We treated the Optn-KD group with Optn siRNA for 24 hours. Then, MiRNA profiles for each group were examined by Illumina HiSeq4000. We found differentiated miRNA profiles in the two groups. Compared with WT BV2 cell-derived exosomes, 4 miRNAs (miR-125b-5p, miR-351-5p, miR-505-5p, miR-novel-chr8_37700) were up-regulated and 2 miRNAs (miR-574-5p, miR-99b-5p) were down-regulated in Optn-KD BV2 cell-derived exosomes. This study provides a framework for characterizing the exosomal-miRNAs in Optn-KD BV2 cells.

PEX14 acts as a molecular link between optineurin and the autophagic machinery to induce pexophagy

Project description:Peroxisome degradation, known as pexophagy, is essential for eliminating surplus and dysfunctional peroxisomes, with dysregulation linked to various diseases. Previous research revealed that ectopic expression of optineurin (OPTN), a versatile autophagy adaptor involved in multiple autophagic pathways (e.g., mitophagy, aggrephagy, and xenophagy), triggers pexophagy in HEK-293 cells. However, the underlying mechanism remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that OPTN-mediated pexophagy is a cell type-specific process. In addition, using proximity labeling, we identified PEX14, a peroxisomal membrane protein, as an OPTN-interacting partner. GFP-Trap analyses confirmed this interaction and revealed that PEX14 and OPTN interact through their respective coiled-coil and C-terminal ubiquitin-binding domains, independently of ubiquitin. Furthermore, our results indicate that the C-terminal half of OPTN-GFP induces pexophagy by oligomerization with endogenous OPTN. Overall, these findings propose PEX14 as a docking factor for OPTN at the peroxisomal membrane, facilitating the connection between peroxisomes and the autophagic membrane scaffold during OPTN-mediated pexophagy.

Sontag2017 - Dynamic model of immune responses to antigen presentation by tumor or pathogen

Project description:This model of the immune system response to antigen presentation is based on the publication: Eduardo D.Sontag (2017) 'A Dynamic Model of Immune Responses to Antigen Presentation Predicts Different Regions of Tumor or Pathogen Elimination', Cell Systems, 4(2) DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2016.12.003 Comment: This model is based on the "toy model" as described by Equations 1A-1C from the manuscript and the system represented by Equation 2, which exhibits a type of incoherent feedforward loop (IFFL). Abstract: The immune system must discriminate between agents of disease and an organism’s healthy cells. While the identification of an antigen as self/non-self is critically important, the dynamic features of antigen presentation may also determine the immune system’s response. Here, we use a simple mathematical model of immune activation to explore the idea of antigen discrimination through dynamics. We propose that antigen presentation is coupled to two nodes, one regulatory and one effecting the immune response, through an incoherent feedforward loop and repressive feedback. This circuit would allow the immune system to effectively estimate the increase of antigens with respect to time, a key determinant of immune reactivity in vivo. Our model makes the prediction that tumors growing at specific rates evade the immune system despite the continuous presence of antigens indicating disease, a phenomenon closely related to clinically observed “two-zone tolerance.” Finally, we discuss a plausible biological instantiation of our circuit using combinations of regulatory and effector T cells.

Optineurin depletion in dendritic cells

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells (APCs) linking innate and adaptive immune response. DCs are crucial for initiating adaptive immune responses for elimination of invading pathogens and also in inducing immune tolerance toward harmless components to maintain immune homeostasis. Results provide insight into the function of optineurin and its role in the maturation and function of DCs.

Gene expression data in Bone Marrow Derived Dendritic Cells (BMDC) following nanoemulsion adjuvant exposure

Project description:Antigen uptake, processing and presentation by dendritic cells are regulated by complex intra- and inter-cellular signalling events. Typical vaccine adjuvants lead to the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines which relate to immune induction. We used microarrays to detail the global expression of genes in BMDC underlying emulsion internalization and DC activation with a non-inflammatory nanoemulsion adjuvant. BMDC were incubated with 0.001% v/v naomeulsion (W805EC) or media alone for 6 hours. Total RNA was extracted per sample using RNA easy (Qiagen).

Targeting secreted MDK-mediated tryptophan/kynurenine metabolism enhances DLL3 CAR T therapy for SCLC

Project description:<p>Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) exhibits profound immunometabolic suppression that impairs antigen presentation and constrains immunotherapy efficacy. Through integrated multi-omics analyses of primary human SCLC tumors, we identified midkine (MDK) as a dominant tumor-secreted driver of immune evasion. Mechanistically, MDK activates STAT3 to induce indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), driving tryptophan-kynurenine metabolic reprogramming. This axis suppresses myeloid antigen presentation, reduces HLA class I expression, and impairs CD8+ T cell function, establishing a immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). We engineered DLL3-targeted CAR T cells secreting anti-MDK scFv. These dual-functional CAR T cells neutralize MDK within the TME, restore antigen presentation, alleviate metabolic suppression, and reinvigorate CD8+ T cell responses. In SCLC models, they exhibited markedly enhanced antitumor activity, improved metabolic fitness, and durable immune activation without systemic toxicity. Collectively, our findings identify MDK as a key immunometabolic regulator and support sMDK-DLL3 CAR T cells as a targeted immunotherapy for SCLC.</p>

Gender and prior exposure shape innate immune responses to a replication-defective herpes virus vaccine

Project description:Here we integrate immune profiling and computational approaches to study responses to a replication-defective herpes simplex virus (HSV) 2 vaccine, in men and women either naive or previously exposed to HSV. Subjects were recipients of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) 2 vaccine in a phase 1 clinical trial where comparisons could be made between three groups of human volunteers based on their HSV serostatus prior to vaccination: HSV1-/HSV2- , HSV1+/HSV2-, or HSV1±/HSV2+ Peripheral blood transcriptomics and cell population frequencies showed the greatest changes on day 1 after vaccination. Prior exposure status and gender were independently associated with responses, but the magnitude of innate responses including type I interferon signatures and TLR7 were greatest in HSV naive women. In contrast, subjects previously infected with HSV had more prominent interferon-I responses. Thus, prior exposure and gender interact to shape innate responses that may also impact adaptive immune phenotypes, such as the neutralizing antibody response which was also faster in HSV naive women than men.

Comparative analysis of Ad5, mRNA, and protein vaccines reveals context-dependent immune responses

Project description:Despite the widespread use of adenovirus, mRNA, and protein-based vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, their relative immunological profiles and protective efficacies remain incompletely defined. Here, we compared antigen kinetics, innate and adaptive immune responses, and protective efficacy following Ad5, mRNA, and protein vaccination in mice. Ad5 induced the most sustained antigen expression, but mRNA induced the most potent interferon responses, associated with robust antigen presentation and costimulation. Unlike Ad5 vaccines, which were hindered by pre-existing vector immunity, mRNA vaccines retained efficacy after repeated use. As a single-dose regimen, Ad5 vaccines elicited superior immune responses. However, as a prime-boost regimen, and particularly in Ad5 seropositive mice, mRNA vaccines outperformed the other vaccine platforms. These findings highlight strengths of each vaccine platform and underscore the importance of vaccination context in determining optimal vaccine performance.
