TNFAIP3/A20 dysfunction drives innate and sterile hyperinflammation

ABSTRACT: Feedback mechanisms regulate immune activation and prevent excessive tissue damage. TNFAIP3, also known as A20, serves as a crucial brake on inflammation, and mutations or haploinsufficiency of this gene are linked to diseases characterized by inappropriate inflammation. In this study, we document highly conserved patterns of cell type-specific gene expression, regulation, and induction of TNFAIP3, and employ transgenic and gnotobiotic mouse models to investigate how adaptive immunity and the gut microbiome contribute to pathology arising from impaired A20 function. Contrary to our expectations, systemic inflammation resulting from Tnfaip3 deficiency in CD11c (Itgax)-expressing cells developed independently of autoreactive antibodies, B cells, and T cells. The microbiome also proved dispensable for disease manifestations in these models. These findings suggest that in diseases caused by insufficient TNFAIP3/A20 activity, autoantibodies may reflect a downstream consequence of disease rather than a causative driver, suggesting autoinflammatory rather than autoimmune pathology. These insights carry therapeutic implications for the treatment of TNFAIP3-associated diseases.

Transcriptomic analysis of epidermal sheets 1 week after induced keratinocyte deletion of A20 (Tnfaip3) in adult mice

Project description:A20 (TNFAIP3) is genetically associated with both Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis in humans. We find that induced deletion of A20 (Tnfaip3) in keratinocytes leads to fully penetrant psoriatic cutaneous inflammation and Psoriatic Arthritis-like joint disease in adult mice. To determine the early molecular pathways that trigger skin and joint inflammation, we performed transcriptomic profiling of epidermal gene expression 1 week following induced deletion of keratinocyte A20 in adult mice. Pathways analysis identified elevation of genes associated with MyD88-dependent and antiviral signaling following keratinocyte A20 deletion. Using compund mutants that prevent keratinocyte MyD88 signaling or antiviral signaling from Type I interferon receptors, we found that keratinocyte MyD88 signaling is required for development of psoriatic skin and joint inflammation following keratinocyte A20 deletion. These results identify unrestrained MyD88 signaling as a key mediator of psoriatic inflammation and psoriatic arthritis-like pathology caused by deletion of keratinocyte A20 in adult mice.

Dissection and Function of Autoimmunity-associated TNFAIP3 (A20) Gene Enhancers in Humanized Mouse Models [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Enhancers affect gene expression and disease. Little is known about enhancers that regulate human disease-associated genes in their native chromosomal context in primary cells relevant for pathogenesis. We used a BAC transgenic approach combined with CRISPR- and recombineering-mediated genome editing to dissect enhancers that regulate human TNFAIP3/A20, which is tightly linked with autoimmune diseases, in vivo and in primary immune cells. >20 enhancers in the A20 superenhancer were redundant; A20 expression was regulated by a topologically associating subdomain (sub-TAD) that harbors 5 enhancers. Deletion of this sub- TAD enhanced inflammatory responses and autoantibody production, establishing its functional importance in vivo. We identified cell- and activation-specific enhancers within this sub-TAD, including a key role for an enhancer harboring a proposed causal SLE-associated SNV. These findings map genomic regions that regulate human A20 expression to prevent inflammatory pathology and autoimmunity, and provide a platform for causally linking enhancers and SNVs with disease phenotypes.

IGHV and TRB immune repertoire sequencing data from A20 haploinsufficiency and healthy humans.

Project description:Genetic TNFAIP3 (A20) inactivation is a classical somatic lymphoma lesion and the genomic trait in haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20). In a cohort of 33 HA20 patients, we show that heterozygous TNFAIP3 loss skews immune repertoires towards lymphocytes with classical self-reactive antigen receptors typically found in B and T cell lymphomas.

RNA sequencing of CRISPR/Cas9-generated A20 DUB-inative and A20 knock-out U937 cells to elucidate the role of human A20 DUB-domain

Project description:Objectives: Genetic variations in TNFAIP3 (A20) de-ubiquitinase (DUB) domain increase the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. A20 is a negative regulator of NF-κB but the role of its DUB domain and related genetic variants remain unclear. We aimed to study the functional effects of A20 DUB-domain alterations in immune cells and understand its link to SLE pathogenesis. Methods: CRISPR/Cas9 was used to generate human U937 monocytes with A20 DUB-inactivating C103A knock-in mutation. Whole genome RNA-sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes between WT and C103A knock-in cells. Functional studies were performed in A20 C103A U937 cells and in immune cells from A20 C103A mice and genotyped healthy individuals with A20 DUB polymorphism rs2230926. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation was adressed ex vivo in neutrophils from A20 C103A mice and SLE-patients with rs2230926. Results: Genetic disruption of A20 DUB domain in human and murine myeoloid cells did not give rise to enhanced NF-κB signaling. Instead, cells with C103A mutation or rs2230926 polymorphism presented an upregulated expression of PADI4, an enzyme regulating protein citrullination and NET formation, two key mechanisms in autoimmune pathology. A20 C103A cells exhibited enhanced protein citrullination and extracellular trap formation, which could be suppressed by selective PAD4 inhibition. Moreover, SLE-patients with rs2230926 showed increased NETs and increased frequency of autoantibodies to citrullinated epitopes. Conclusions: We propose that genetic alterations disrupting the A20 DUB domain mediate increased susceptibility to SLE through the upregulation of PADI4 with resultant protein citrullination and extracellular trap formation.

A20 governs fibrosis susceptibility in bleomycin-induced mouse scleroderma model

Project description:In addition to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, variants of the TNFAIP3 gene encoding A20 are also associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, it remains unclear how genetic factors contribute to fibrosis in SSc, and which cell types drive disease due to SSc-specific genetic alterations. We characterized the expression and function of A20, and its negative transcriptional regulator DREAM, in patient with SSc. We found that levels of A20 were significantly reduced in SSc skin and lung biopsies, while DREAM was elevated and showed anti-correlation with A20. Mice haploinsufficient for A20, or harboring fibroblasts-specific A20 deletion, recapitulated major pathological and genomic features of SSc, whereas DREAM-null mice showed elevated A20 expression and were protected from fibrosis. In fibroblasts, A20 mitigated ex vivo profibrotic responses. An anti-fibrotic small molecule targeting the adiponectin receptors stimulated A20 expression in vitro in wildtype but not A20-deficient fibroblasts, and in bleomycin-treated mice. Thus, A20 has a novel function in negative regulation of fibroblast responses, and together with DREAM, constitutes a critical regulatory network governing the fibrotic process in SSc, suggesting that A20 and DREAM represent novel druggable targets.

A20 IN MARGINAL ZONE LYMPHOMAS

Project description:Unique and shared cytogenetic abnormalities have been documented for marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) arising at different sites. Recently, homozygous deletions of the chromosomal band 6q23, involving the tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, A20) gene, a negative regulator of NF-kappa B, were described in ocular adnexal MZL, suggesting a role for A20 as a tumor suppressor in this disease entity. Here, we investigated inactivation of A20 by DNA mutations or deletions in a panel of extranodal (EMZL), nodal (NMZL) and splenic (SMZL) MZLs. Inactivating mutations encoding truncated A20 proteins were identified in 6/32 (18.8%) MZLs, including 3/11 (27.3%) EMZLs, 2/9 (22.2%) NMZLs, and 1/12 (8.3%) SMZLs. Two additional unmutated non-splenic MZLs also showed mono- or biallelic A20 deletions by FISH and/or array-CGH. Thus, A20 loss by both somatic mutations and/or deletions represents a common genetic aberration across all MZL subtypes, which may contribute to lymphomagenesis by inducing constitutive NF-kappa B activation. Keywords: Genome variation profiling by SNP array 27 MZL samples. No technical replications.

YAP9/A20 Complex Suppresses Proinflammatory Responses and Provides Novel Anti-inflammatory Therapeutic Potentials

Project description:Innate anti-inflammatory mechanisms are essential for immune homeostasis and can present opportunities to intervene inflammatory diseases. In this report, we found that YAP isoform 9 (YAP9) is an essential negative regulator of the potent inflammatory stimuli such as TNFα, IL-1β, and LPS. YAP9 constitutively interacts with another anti-inflammatory regulator A20 (TNFAIP3) to suppress inflammatory responses, but A20 and YAP can function only in the presence of the other. YAP9 uses a short stretch of amino acids in the proline-rich domain (PRD) and transactivation domain (TAD) suppress the inflammatory signaling while A20 mainly uses the zinc finger domain 7 (ZF7). Cell-penetrating synthetic PRD, TAD, and ZF7 peptides act as YAP9 and A20 mimetics respectively to suppress the proinflammatory responses at the cellular level and in mice. Our data uncover a novel anti-inflammatory axis and anti-inflammatory agents that can be developed to treat acute or chronic conditions where TNFα, IL-1β, or LPS plays a key role in initiating and/or perpetuating inflammation.
