Fbxo7 promotes Cdk6 activity to inhibit PFKP and glycolysis in T cells

ABSTRACT: Deregulated Fbxo7 expression is associated with many pathologies, including anaemia, male sterility, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease, demonstrating its critical role in a variety of cell types. Although Fbxo7 is an F-box protein that recruits substrates for SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases, it also promotes the formation of cyclin D/Cdk6/p27 complexes in an E3-ligase independent fashion. We discovered PFKP, the major gatekeeper of glycolysis, in a screen for Fbxo7 substrates. PFKP has been previously shown to be a critical substrate of Cdk6 for the viability of T-ALL cells experiencing high levels of reactive oxygen species. We investigated the molecular relationships between Fbxo7, Cdk6 and PFKP, and the functional effect Fbxo7 has on T cell metabolism, viability, and activation. Fbxo7 promotes Cdk6-independent ubiquitination and Cdk6-dependent phosphorylation of PFKP. Importantly Fbxo7-deficient cells have reduced Cdk6 activity, and haematopoietic and lymphocytic cell lines show a significant dependency on Fbxo7. CD4+ T cells with reduced Fbxo7 have increased glycolysis, and lower cell viability and activation levels. Metabolomic studies of activated CD4+ T cells confirm increased glycolytic flux in Fbxo7-deficient cells, as well as altered nucleotide biosynthesis and arginine metabolism. We show Fbxo7 expression is glucose-responsive, and we propose Fbxo7 inhibits PFKP and glycolysis via its activation of Cdk6.

Genetic Basis of XMEN Disease

Project description:<p>The etiologies of primary immunodeficiencies often yield novel insights about the immune system. Although a genetic etiology has been suspected for patients with abnormally low CD4+ T cells in the absence of HIV infection or any known causes of lymphopenia, no genetic mutation has been described to date for any case of primary CD4 lymphopenia. In this study, we characterized a non-consanguineous family with two non-HIV infected boys exhibiting an inverted CD4 to CD8 T cell ratio and a history of recurrent chronic viral infections since birth. Consistent with a decreased thymic output of CD4+ T cells, the percentage of CD31+ cells in the CD4+ naive population of these patients was decreased. In addition, the activation of T cells was significantly impaired in the patient upon TCR stimulation. Given the mother's T cells show completely skewed X chromosome inactivation, we suspected that the nature of this disease is X-linked. We performed X-chromosome exon-capture targeted single-end Solexa sequencing on two brothers and the mother and found a 10 base pair deletion at an intron-exon junction of Magnesium Transporter 1 (MAGT1), a Mg<sup>2+</sup> specific transporter. We confirmed that this deletion leads to altered splicing, frameshift, early termination of the mRNA, and deficient protein expression in the lymphocytes of the two patients. Moreover, knockdown of this transporter in T cells isolated from healthy donors can recapitulate the observed T cell activation defect while its ectopic expression in the patients' lymphocytes can restore T cell stimulation. Our discovery highlights the significance of this transporter to T cell function.</p>

Cul5 regulates CD4+ T cell fate choice and allergic inflammation

Project description:Antigen encounter directs CD4+ T cells to differentiate into T-helper or -regulatory cells. This process focuses the immune response on the invading pathogen and limits tissue damage. Mechanisms that govern -helper versus -regulatory fate remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cul5 determines fate selection in CD4+ T cells by regulating IL-4 receptor signaling. Mice lacking Cul5 in T cells developed enhanced Th2 and Th9 inflammation and pathophysiological features of atopic asthma upon allergen exposure. Following T cell activation, Cul5 formed a complex with CIS and pJak1. Loss of Cul5 function resulted in reduced ubiquitylation and increased stability of pJak1, elevated STAT6 activity, and a reduced threshold for IL-4 receptor signaling. In keeping with this, Cul5-deficient T cells deviated from Treg to Th9 differentiation in low IL-4 conditions. These data support that Cul5 promotes a tolerogenic T cell fate choice and reduces susceptibility to allergic asthma.

Peli1-mediated TSC1 ubiquitination site

Project description:Metabolic fitness of T cells is crucial for immune responses against infections and tumorigenesis. Both the T cell receptor (TCR) signal and environmental cues contribute to the induction of T cell metabolic reprogramming, but the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. Here we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase Peli1 as an important regulator of T cell metabolism and antitumor immunity. Peli1 ablation profoundly promotes tumor rejection, associated with increased tumor-infiltrating CD4 and CD8 T cells. The Peli1-deficient T cells display markedly stronger metabolic activities, particularly glycolysis, than wildtype T cells. Peli1 controls the activation of a metabolic kinase, mTORC1, stimulated by both the TCR signal and growth factors, and this function of Peli1 is mediated through regulation of the mTORC1-inhibitory proteins, TSC1 and TSC2. Peli1 mediates non-degradative ubiquitination of TSC1, thereby promoting TSC1-TSC2 dimerization and TSC2 stabilization. These results establish Peli1 as an important regulator of T cell metabolism and antitumor immunity and suggest a novel mechanism that controls mTORC1 activation.

Alternatively activated mononuclear phagocytes from the skin site of infection and the impact of IL-4RÎ± signaling on CD4+T cell survival in draining lymph nodes after repeated exposure to Schistosoma mansoni cercariae

Project description:In areas endemic for schistosomiasis, repeated exposure to infective cercariae is a frequent occurrence, and repeated exposure of murine skin to Schistosoma mansoni resulted in CD4+ T cells becoming hypo-responsive. Here potential contributory mechanisms were investigated. In the skin infection site, three mononuclear phagocyte populations were identified (tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, and macrophages) which exhibited up-regulation of genes associated with alternative activation, in particular the gene encoding RELMÎ±. However, in repeatedly infected mice deficient in RELMÎ±, there was no change in the abundance of mononuclear phagocytes in the skin, and CD4+ cells in the skin draining lymph nodes remained hypo-responsive. In mice deficient for IL-4RÎ±, required for alternative activation, levels of dermal regulatory IL-10 were reduced and there was an increase in the abundance of antigen presenting MHC-IIhigh cells, which was accompanied by increased numbers of CD4+ T cells. Although the absence of IL-4RÎ± did not translate into increased CD4+ cell responsiveness, they exhibited lower expression of Fas/FasL, resulting in decreased apoptosis/cell death and increased cell viability. This study highlights a mechanism through which IL-4RÎ± may regulate the immune system through the induction of IL-10 and regulation of Fas/FasL mediated cell death. Mice were infected 1x or 4x with S. mansoni cercariae via the pinnae. Pinnae were harvested 4 days after the final infection and the DEC obtained after an overnight culture in vitro. Cells were then stained with F4/80 APC and MHC-II PE and four different populations sorted (using the MoFlo or the Astrios) based on their expression profiles. Several mice (12-18) from each group were pooled to generate each replicate.

P2X7 signaling drives Th1 cell differentiation through metabolic reprogramming for aerobic glycolysis

Project description:This study provides evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which P2RX7 signaling promotes Th1 cell differentiation. P2RX7 induces T-bet expression and aerobic glycolysis in splenic CD4+ T cells that respond to malaria, at a time prior to Th1/Tfh polarization. Cell-intrinsic P2RX7 signaling sustains the glycolytic pathway and causes bioenergetic mitochondrial stress in activated CD4+ T cells. We also show in vitro the phenotypic similarities of Th1-polarized CD4+ T cells that do not express P2RX7 and those in which the glycolytic pathway is pharmacologically inhibited. In addition, ATP synthase blockade in vitro and the consequent inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, which forces cells to use aerobic glycolysis, is sufficient to promote rapid CD4+ T cell proliferation and polarization to the Th1 profile in the absence of P2RX7. These data demonstrate that P2RX7-mediated metabolic reprograming for aerobic glycolysis is a key event for Th1 cell differentiation and suggest that ATP synthase inhibition is a fundamental mechanism by which P2X7 signaling induces the Th1 response.

Itch attenuates CD4 T cell proliferation in mice by limiting WBP2 protein stability

Project description:To mount an anti-pathogen response, CD4 T cells must undergo rapid cell proliferation. However, poorly controlled expansion can result in diseases such as autoimmunity. One important regulator of T cell activity is the E3 ubiquitin ligase Itch. Itch deficient patients suffer from extensive autoinflammation. Similarly, Itch deficient mice exhibit inflammation characterized by high numbers of activated CD4 T cells. While the role of Itch in limiting CD4 T cell cytokine production has been extensively studied, it is less clear whether and how Itch regulates proliferation of these cells. We determined that Itch deficient CD4 T cells are hyperproliferative in vitro and in vivo, due to increased S phase entry. Whole cell proteomics analysis of Itch deficient primary mouse CD4 T cells revealed increased abundance of the -catenin co-activator WW domain binding protein 2 (WBP2). Furthermore, Itch deficient cells demonstrate increased WBP2 protein stability, and Itch and WBP2 interact in CD4 T cells. Knockdown of WBP2 in CD4 T cells caused reduced proliferation. Together, our data support that Itch attenuates CD4 T cell proliferation by promoting WBP2 degradation. This study identifies novel roles for Itch and WBP2 in regulating CD4 T cell proliferation, providing insight into how Itch may prevent inflammation.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex integrates the metabolome and epigenome in memory CD8+ T cell differentiation in vitro [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Modulation of metabolic flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays an important role in T cell activation and differentiation. PDC sits at the transition between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is a major producer of acetyl-CoA, marking it as a potential metabolic and epigenetic node. To understand the role of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in T cell differentiation, we generated mice deficient in T cell pyruvate dehydrogenase E1A (Pdha) subunit using a CD4-cre recombinase-based strategy. Herein, we show that genetic ablation of PDC activity in T cells (TPdh-/-) leads to marked perturbations in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and OXPHOS. Due to depressed OXPHOS, TPdh-/- T cells became dependent upon substrate level phosphorylation via glycolysis. Due to the block of PDC activity, histone acetylation was reduced, including H3K27, a critical site for CD8+ T cell memory differentiation. Transcriptional and functional profiling revealed abnormal CD8+ memory T cell differentiation in vitro. Collectively, our data indicate that PDC integrates the metabolome and epigenome in memory T cell differentiation. Targeting this metabolic and epigenetic node can have widespread ramifications on cellular function.

Gene expression in activated WT or PDK4 -/- CD4+ T cells

Project description:Activation of CD4+ T cells requires metabolic reprograming to sustain demands of cellular building blocks and ATP. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) is an enzyme regulating pyruvate dehydrogenase complex subunit alpha 1 (PDHE1-alpha), which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Gene expression analysis of TCR-stimulated CD4+ T cells with PDK4 deletion exhibited the reduced calcium signaling and aerobic glycolysis pathway.
