Direct control of regulatory T cells by keratinocytes

ABSTRACT: Environmental challenges to epithelial cells trigger gene expression changes that elicit context-appropriate immune responses. Here we show that the chromatin remodeler Mi-2β controls epidermal homeostasis by holding genes involved in keratinocyte and immune-cell activation at an inactive state. Mi-2β depletion caused rapid deployment of both a pro-inflammatory and an immunosuppressive response in the skin. A key target of Mi-2β in keratinocytes was the pro-inflammatory cytokine Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP). Loss of TSLPR signaling specifically in regulatory T cells (Treg) prevented their activation and permitted rapid progression from a skin pro-inflammatory response to a lethal systemic condition. Thus, in addition to their well-characterized role in pro-inflammatory responses, keratinocytes also directly support immune-suppressive responses that are critical for re-establishing organismal homeostasis.

Functional interactions between Mi-2β and AP1 complexes control response and recovery from barrier disruption

Project description:Keratinocytes respond to environmental signals by eliciting induction of genes that preserve skin’s integrity. Here we show that the transcriptional response to stress signaling is supported by short-lived epigenetic changes. Comparison of chromatin accessibility and transcriptional changes induced by barrier disruption or by loss of the nucleosome remodeler Mi-2β identified their striking convergence in mouse and human keratinocytes. Mi-2β directly repressed genes induced by barrier disruption by restricting AP1-enriched promoter-distal sites, occupied by Mi-2β and JUNB at steady state and by c-JUN after Mi-2β depletion or stress signaling. Barrier disruption led to a modest reduction in Mi-2β expression and a further selective reduction of Mi-2β localization at stress response genes possibly through competition with activated c-JUN. Consistent with a repressive role at stress response genes, genetic ablation of Mi-2β did not prevent re-establishment of barrier integrity but was required for return to homeostasis. Thus a competition between Mi-2β repressive and activating AP1 complexes may permit rapid transcriptional response to and resolution from stress signaling.

Mi-2β promotes immune evasion in melanoma by activating EZH2 methylation

Project description:Recent development of new immune checkpoint inhibitors has been particularly successfully in cancer treatment, but still the majority patients fail to benefit. Converting resistant tumors to immunotherapy sensitivity will provide a significant improvement in patient outcome. Here we identify Mi-2β as a key melanoma-intrinsic effector regulating the adaptive anti-tumor immune response. Genetically engineered mouse melanoma studies indicate that loss of Mi-2β rescued the immune response to immunotherapy in vivo. Mechanistically, ATAC-seq indicate that Mi-2β controlled the accessibility of IFN-γ-stimulated genes (ISGs). Mi-2β bound to EZH2 and promote K510 methylation of EZH2 and subsequently activate the trimethylation of H3K27 to inhibit the transcription of ISGs. Finally, we develop an Mi-2β-targeted inhibitor, Z36-MP5, which targeted inhibition of Mi-2β ATPase activity and recovered ISG transcription. Consequently, Z36-MP5 efficiently induce a response to immunotherapy in otherwise resistant melanomas. Our work provides a potential therapeutic strategy to convert immunotherapy resistant melanomas to sensitive ones.

Gene expression profile of human epidermal keratinocytes in response to IFNgamma, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17A and IL-22

Project description:To understand the role of epidermal keratinocytes in immunopathology of skin diseases with predominant T helper (Th) cell responses, we measured the genome-wide transcriptional profile of human keratinocytes in response to IFNgamma, IL-4, IL-17A or IL-22, major cytokines produced by Th1, Th2, Th17 or Th22 cells, respectively. IL-6 was also included in the transcriptional profile analysis because a variety of pro-inflammatory stimuli stimulate human keratinocytes to produce IL-6 that has an autocrine or paracrine role in epidermal immunity. We aimed to discover commonly expressed genes in human keratinocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, which would be associated with common pathophysiological responses in various skin diseases such as skin permeability barrier disruption or epidermal hyperplasia. Normal human keratinocytes (NHKs) were stimulated with IFNγ, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17A and IL-22 for 24 hours and harvested for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Autocrine IL-1α mediates NF-κB activation by oncogenic ras in keratinocytes

Project description:Constitutively active RAS plays a central role in the development of skin cancer in the classical two stage skin carcinogenesis in mice and in a number of human cancers. Ras-mediated tumor formation is commonly associated with upregulation of cytokines and chemokines that mediate an inflammatory response considered relevant to oncogenesis. MyD88 is a crucial intermediate in the expression of multiple innate immune responders through signaling from the Toll-like/IL-1R family. We report that mice ablated for MyD88 or the IL-1R are resistant to topical skin carcinogenesis, and cultured MyD88-/- keratinocytes transduced with an oncogenic ras vector form only a few small tumors in orthotopic grafts. Initiated keratinocytes arising from oncogenic activation of ras are hyperproliferative but also resist signals for induced differentiation and upregulate a host of pro-inflammatory genes. Ras-transduced MyD88-/- keratinocytes are also hyperproliferative but the differentiation response is intact and pro-inflammatory genes are not upregulated. Using both genetic and pharmacological approaches, we find that in keratinocytes, the differentiation and immune regulation functions mediated by oncogenic ras require the establishment of an autocrine loop through IL-1α and its receptor leading to NF-κB activation. In the absence of MyD88 or IL-1R, this loop cannot be established. Further, blocking the IL-1a mediated NF-κB activation in ras-transduced wildtype keratinocytes corrects the defect in both differentiation response and proinflammatory gene expression. Collectively, these results demonstrate that ras activation converts normal keratinocytes to an initiated phenotype through a series of potentially reversible feedback signals that provide therapeutic opportunities through inhibition of IL-1 signaling. Gene expression comparison of wild type ras-transformed keratinocytes untreated (n=3) or treated (n=3) in vitro with the IL1R antagonist Anakinra.

A single dose of Ultraviolet-A induces proteome remodeling and senescence in primary human keratinocytes

Project description:The UVB component of the sunlight (290-320 nm) plays an important role in carcinogenesis through generation of high levels of bipyrimidine DNA photoproducts, while UVA (320-400 nm) has been associated with photoaging and tumor progression through generation of low, but continuous levels of DNA damage and oxidative stress. However, the contribution of UVA light to epidermal cell fate in the context of photoaging remains poorly understood. Here, by using proteomic analyses and biochemical assays for validation, we show that UVA induces proteome remodeling and senescence in primary keratinocytes, eliciting potent antioxidant and pro-inflammatory responses. As a model of early skin tumorigenesis during aging, immortalized non-malignant keratinocytes, bearing potentially oncogenic mutations and dysfunctional components of the senescent machinery , are resilient to UVA-induced stress, but are sensitive to paracrine oxidative stress and immune system activation induced by senescent neighboring keratinocytes. These observations reveal a new cellular mechanism by which UVA induces photoaging in the epidermis.

Single Cell and Spatial Sequencing Define Processes by which Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts Amplify Inflammatory Responses in Psoriasis

Project description:The immunopathogenesis of psoriasis, a common chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, is incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate, using a combination of single cell and spatial RNA sequencing, IL-36 dependent amplification of IL-17A and TNF inflammatory responses in the absence of neutrophil proteases, which primarily occurred within the supraspinous layer of the psoriatic epidermis. We further show that a subset of SFRP2+ fibroblasts in psoriasis contribute to amplification of the immune network through transition to a pro-inflammatory state. The SFRP2+ fibroblast communication network involves production of CCL13, CCL19 and CXCL12, connected by ligand-receptor interactions to other spatially proximate cell types: CCR2+ myeloid cells, CCR7+ LAMP3+ dendritic cells, and CXCR4 expressed on both CD8+ Tc17 cells and keratinocytes, respectively. The SFRP2+ fibroblasts also express cathepsin S, further amplifying inflammatory responses by activating IL-36G in keratinocytes. These data provide an unprecedented view of psoriasis pathogenesis, which expands our understanding of the critical cellular participants to include inflammatory fibroblasts and their cellular interactions.

TGFβ-activated kinase 1-dependent microglial and macrophage responses aggravate long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke

Project description:Microglia/macrophages (Mi/MΦ) can profoundly influence stroke outcomes by acquiring functionally dominant phenotypes (pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory; neurotoxic or neuroprotective). Identification of the molecular mechanisms that dictate the functional status of Mi/MΦ after brain ischemia/reperfusion may reveal novel therapeutic targets for stroke. We hypothesized that activation of TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a key MAP3K upstream of multiple inflammation-regulating pathways, drives Mi/MΦ towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype and potentiates ischemia/reperfusion brain injury. Young adult mice were subjected to 1 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by reperfusion. TAK1 was targeted by tamoxifen-induced Mi/MΦ-specific knockout (mKO). Mi/MΦ functional status and brain inflammatory profiles were assessed 3 days after MCAO by RNA-seq of flow cytometry-sorted brain Mi/MΦ. The results showed that TAK1 promotes ischemia/reperfusion-induced inflammation, brain injury, and maladaptive behavior by enhancing pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic Mi/MΦ responses.
