Project description:MYC activates different metabolic programs in a cell-type and cell-status dependent manner. However, the role of MYC in inflammatory macrophages has not yet been determined. Metabolic and molecular analyses reveal that MYC, but not HIF1, is involved in enhancing early glycolytic flux during inflammatory macrophage polarization. Ablation of MYC decreases lactate production by regulating lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and causes increased inflammatory cytokines by regulating interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, myeloid-specific deletion of MYC and pharmacological inhibition of MYC/LDH axis enhance inflammation and the bacterial clearance in vivo. These results elucidate the potential role of the MYC/LDH/IRF4 axis in inflammatory macrophages by connecting early glycolysis and inflammatory responses and suggest that modulating early glycolytic flux mediated by the MYC/LDH axis can be utilized to open new avenues for the therapeutic modulation of macrophage polarization to fight against bacterial infection.

Project description:CD4+ Th1 cells producing IFN-g are required to eradicate intracellular pathogens, however if uncontrolled these cells can mediate immunopathology. The cytokine IL-10 is produced by multiple immune cells including Th1 cells during infection and regulates the immune response to minimise collateral host damage. In this study we aimed to elucidate the transcriptional network of genes controlling the expression of Il10 and proinflammatory cytokines, including Ifng in Th1 cells. We show that the transcription factors Blimp-1 and c-Maf each have unique and common effects on cytokine gene regulation and not only co-operate to induce Il10 gene expression in IL-12 plus IL-27 differentiated Th1 cells, but additionally directly negatively regulate key proinflammatory cytokines including Ifng, thus providing mechanisms for reinforcement of regulated Th1 cell responses.

Project description:We demonstrate that transcription factor IRF4 is induced in a T cell receptor (TCR) affinity-dependent manner and functions as a dose-dependent regulator of the metabolic function of activated T cells. IRF4 regulates the expression of key molecules required for aerobic glycolysis of effector T cells, and is essential for clonal expansion and maintenance of effector function of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Examination of binding sites of transcription factor IRF4 in mouse CD8+ T cells.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of T-cells isolated from spleen of IRF4 -/- mice and cultured under Th17 polarizing conditions for 42 hrs compared to cells similarly isolated and cultured from spleen of IRF4 +/- mice. The aim of the study was to identify global misexpression of genes in IRF4 -/- cells and hence identify key pathways regulated by IRF4 during Th17 differentiation. Two-condition experiment, IRF4 -/- vs IRF4 +/- Th17 cells at 42hrs. Biological replicates: 3 for each condition

Project description:Exercise-induced fatigue and exhaustion have been an interesting area for many physiologists.Muscle glycogen is critical forphysical performance. However, how glycogen depletion is manipulated during exercise is not very clear. Our aim here is to assess the impact of interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) on skeletal muscle glycogen and subsequent regulation ofexercise capacity. Skeletal muscle-specific IRF4 knockout mice show normal body weight and insulin sensitivity, but better exercise capacity and increased glycogen content with unaltered triglyceride levels compared to control mice on chow diet. In contrast, mice overexpression of IRF4 display decreased exercise capacity and lower glycogen content. Mechanistically, IRF4 regulates glycogen-associated regulatory subunit protein targeting to glycogen (PTG) to manipulate glucose metabolism. Knockdown of PTG can reverse the effects imposed by the absence of IRF4in vivo. Our studies reveal a regulatory pathway including IRF4/PTG/glycogen synthesis that controlling exercise capacity.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes with adaptive immune features, including antigen-specificity, clonal expansion, and memory. As such, NK cells share many transcriptional and epigenetic programs with their adaptive CD8+ T cell siblings. Various signals ranging from antigen, co-stimulation, and proinflammatory cytokines are required for optimal NK cell responses in mice and humans during virus infection; however, the integration of these signals remains unclear. In this study, we identified the transcription factor IRF4 as a signal integrator to coordinate the NK cell response during viral infection. Loss of IRF4 was detrimental to the expansion and differentiation of virus-specific NK cells. This defect was partially attributed to the inability of IRF4-deficient NK cells to uptake nutrients required for survival and memory generation. Altogether, these data suggest IRF4 is a signal integrator that acts as a secondary metabolic checkpoint to orchestrate the adaptive response of NK cells during viral infection.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable cell growth arrest that is implicated in tissue aging and cancer. Senescent cells are characterized by an upregulation of proinflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokines and chemokines, which is termed as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). NAD+ metabolism plays a critical role in both tissue aging and cancer. However, the role of NAD+ metabolism in regulating the SASP is not well understood. Here we show that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD+ salvage pathway, governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP during senescence. In contrast to downregulation of NAMPT during replicative senescence, NAMPT is upregulated during oncogene-induced senescence. NAMPT selectively regulates proinflammatory, but not immunosuppressive, SASP. NAMPT is regulated by HMGA1 through a distal enhancer element during senescence. HMGA1/NAMPT/NAD+ signaling axis promotes proinflammatory SASP through enhancing glycolysis and mitochondria respiration. Mechanistically, HMGA1/NAMPT promotes proinflammatory SASP through NAD+-mediated suppression of AMPK kinase, which suppresses p53-mediated inhibition of p38MAPK to enhance NFb activity. SASP regulation by NAD+ metabolism is independent of senescence-associated cell growth arrest. An increase in NAD+ levels is sufficient to convert SASP from low to high levels during replicative senescence. Together, we conclude that NAD+ metabolism governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP. Given the tumor promoting effects of proinflammatory SASP, our results suggest that anti-ageing dietary NAD+ augmentation should be administered with precision.
