Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expressing the transcription factor Foxp3 constitute a unique T cell lineage committed to suppressive functions and are crucial for suppressing aberrant immune responses in autoimmunity and allergy. Treg transcriptional landscape is tightly controlled by Foxp3-binding partners, including RelA. Although those DNA-binding complexes have been well characterized, the TCR signaling events that coordinate those dynamic molecular assembly are still poorly understood. Using a combination of genetic models, we show that the suppressive function of Tregs is controlled by a tri-molecular interplay between the signaling proteins Themis1, Vav1 and SHP-1. We identify the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 as a central component of an inhibitory circuit, which leads to the dephosphorylation of Vav1, which in turn is associated with a dramatic reduction of RelA activity and Treg suppressive function. Themis1 disconnects this circuit by blocking SHP-1 catalytic activity. Collectively, our results reveal a previously unappreciated pathway, whereby Themis1-mediated repression of SHP-1 activity promotes Tregs suppressive functions through a Vav1-RelA signaling axis.

Project description:Bile acid (BA) homeostasis is maintained through a feedback loop operated by the nuclear hormone receptors FXR and SHP. Here we show that contrary to the current models placing FXR upstream of SHP in a linear regulatory pathway, the phenotypic consequence of the combined loss of both receptors is much more severe than the relatively modest impact of the loss of either Fxr or Shp alone. This is highlighted by the dramatic elevation of hepatic and serum BA levels in the double knockout (DKO) mice as early as three weeks of age coupled with a commensurate increase in Cyp7A1 expression and alterations in BA homeostatic genes. In addition, we find several genes necessary for C21 steroid biosynthetic pathway as novel targets for FXR and SHP. The elevated BAs result in severe hepato-pathology but the DKO mice surprisingly do not develop complete liver failure and live for over a year. Their survival is accompanied by an adaptive proliferation of the resident liver progenitor cell population, known as oval cells. Overall, these data demonstrate that FXR and SHP function coordinately to maintain BA homeostasis, and identify DKO mice as a novel genetic model for juvenile cholestatic disorders and for oval cell activation. Liver samples collected from FXR-/-, SHP-/-, and FXR-/-/SHP-/- animals at 3 or 5 weeks were hybridized to Illumina mouse REF-8 v1.1 arrays in duplicate.

Project description:Background: Even though much progress has been made in the understanding of the molecular nature of glioma, the survival rates of patients affected of this tumour have not changed significantly during these years. Thus, a deeper understanding of this malignancy is still needed in order to predict its outcome and improve patient treatment. Here, we report that VAV1, a GDP/GTP exchange factor for Rho/Rac proteins with oncogenic potential that is involved in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and cell migration. Methodology/Principal Findings: VAV1 is overexpressed in 32 patients diagnosed with high-grade glioma. Such overexpression is linked to the parallel upregulation of a number of genes coding for proteins also involved in cell invasion- and migration-related processes. Unexpectedly, immunohistochemical experiments revealed that VAV1 is not expressed in glioma cells. Instead, VAV1 is found in non-tumoral astrocyte-like cells that are located either peritumoraly or perivascularly, suggesting that its expression is linked to synergistic signalling cross-talk between cancer and infiltrating cells. Conclusions/Significance: Interestingly, we show that the pattern of expression of VAV1 is a good prognostic factor to unveil populations of high-grade glioma patients with different survival and progression free survival rates.

Project description:The protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 (PTPN6) is an important glucose homeostasis modulator. Besides negatively regulating insulin signaling, the specific role of SHP-1 in metabolic control remains poorly understood. We show that SHP-1 acts as a co-activator for transcription of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) gene, thereby modulating basal gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes. SHP-1 interacts with RNA polymerase II-subunits and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), and localizes to the nucleus, where a sub-fraction of SHP-1 associates with chromatin. While SHP-1 binds to the PCK1-promoter, its loss affects RNA polymerase II-recruitment to this and other promoters of genes enriched for glucose metabolism-related functions. SHP-1-downregulation, and similarly STAT5 pharmacological inhibition reduce PCK1-transcript levels correlating with blunted gluconeogenesis. Overall, we identified a novel molecular SHP-1-function, that of a regulator of PCK1-transcription and subsequently hepatic gluconeogenesis, through physical interaction with the transcription machinery, mediated by an Akt-independent mechanism, but independent of STAT5 tyrosine-phosphorylation status.

Project description:Anticancer T cells acquire a dysfunctional state characterized by poor effector function and expression of inhibitory receptors, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Blockade of PD-1 signalling leads to T cell reinvigoration and is increasingly applied as an effective anticancer treatment. Recent work challenged the commonly held view that the phosphatase Src homology 2 (SH2) domain–containing phosphatase (SHP)-2 is essential for the molecular cascade downstream PD-1, suggesting functional redundancy with the homologous phosphatase SHP-1. Therefore, we investigated the effect of concomitant SHP-1 and 2 deletion in T cells by knocking out these phosphatases under the CD4cre promoter. In vivo results not only indicate that Shp-1/2 deletion is insufficient to ameliorate tumour control, but also that it impairs the therapeutic effects of anti-PD1 treatment, affecting tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. Notably, acute deletion of Shp-1/2 in effector T cells also fails to improve tumour control. In vitro results show that Shp-1/2-deleted CD8+ T cells exhibit impaired expansion due to a survival defect and proteomics analysis reveals substantial alterations in their proteome, including in apoptosis-related pathways. This data indicates that concomitant ablation of SHP-1/2 in polyclonal T cells fails to improve their anticancer properties, implying that caution shall be taken when considering their inhibition for immunotherapeutic approaches.
