Project description:Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a key mediator of protective immunity to yeast and bacterial infections but also drives the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. Here, we show that the tetra-transmembrane protein CMTM4 is a subunit of the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R). CMTM4 constitutively associated with IL-17R subunit C (IL-17RC) to mediate its stability, posttranslational modification, and plasma membrane localization. Both mouse and human cell lines deficient in CMTM4 were largely unresponsive to IL-17A, due to their inability to assemble the IL-17 receptor signaling complex. Accordingly, CMTM4-deficient mice were largely resistant to experimental psoriasis. Collectively, our data identified CMTM4 as an essential component of the IL-17 receptor and a potential therapeutic target for treating IL-17-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Interleukin 17 (IL-17) producing T helper 17 (Th17) cells are critical drivers of pathogenesis in a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Strategies to mitigate excessive Th17 response thus remain an attractive target for immunotherapies. Here we report that Cancerous Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) regulates IL-17 production by Th17 cells in human and mouse. Using CIP2A knock-out (KO) mice and siRNA-mediated CIP2A silencing in human primary CD4+ T cells, we demonstrated that CIP2A silencing results in a significant increase in IL-17 production. Interestingly, CIP2A deficient Th17 cells were characterized by increased strength and duration of STAT3 (Y705) phosphorylation. Genome-wide gene expression profile as well as the p-STAT3 (Y705) interactome of CIP2A deficient Th17 cells identified that CIP2A regulates the strength of the interaction between Acylglycerol kinase (AGK) and STAT3, and thereby, modulates STAT3 phosphorylation as well as expression of IL-17 in Th17 cells. Our results uncover the physiological function of CIP2A in Th17 cells and provides new opportunities for therapeutic intervention in Th17 cell mediated diseases.

Project description:The conventional notion of “immune privilege” of the brain has been revised to accommodate its infiltration, at steady state, by immune cells that participate in normal neurophysiology (Louveau, Trends Immunol 2015; Kipnis science 2016; Filiano, Nat Rev Neurosciences 2017). Surprisingly, such neuroimmune functions have been linked to “pro-inflammatory” cytokines like IL-4 or IFN-α, shown to control behavioural and social cognition (Derecki, JEM 2010; Filiano, Nature 2016). Here we identify a pro-cognitive role for IL-17 in short-term memory that derives from a previously unknown meningeal-resident γδ T cell subset. This was mostly composed of foetal thymic-derived Vγ6+ T cells, found in the meninges at birth and persisting throughout life, where they were strikingly polarized towards IL-17 production. In fact, γδ T cells were the overwhelming source of meningeal IL-17, whereas IFN-γ was mostly provided by T cells. To assess whether the constitutive production of IL-17 by γδ T cells influenced the cognitive performance of mice, we tested TCRδ-/-, IL-17-/- and respective WT littermate control mice in classical learning paradigms. We observed that mice deficient either for γδ T cells or IL-17 displayed impaired short-term memory in the Y maze paradigm, while retaining normal long-term spatial memory in the Morris water maze. A detailed proteomics analysis of the hippocampus provided mechanistic insight into reduced plasticity of the glutamatergic synapses in the absence of IL-17, which associated with impaired Long Term Potentiation (LTP). Conversely, IL-17 enhanced glial cell production of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF), whose exogenous provision rescued the LTP defect of IL-17-/- animals. Altogether, our data demonstrate that foetal-derived γδ T cells populate the brain meninges where they regulate synaptic plasticity and short-term memory through a non-inflammatory IL-17-dependent mechanism.

Project description:Cytokines are highly pleiotropic ligands that critically contribute to a balanced immune response. We have an incomplete understanding of how cytokines elicit their functional pleiotropy, which has limited their therapeutic efficacy. Here, using Interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a model system, we have performed detailed phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic studies in human CD4 + T helper (Th)-1 cells to address the molecular bases defining cytokine functional pleiotropy. We have identified cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)8 as a new negative regulator of transcriptional activities of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3. We found that CDK8 is a major regulator of the IL-6 phosphoproteome and interacts with STAT3 in the nucleus upon IL-6 stimulation. Inhibition of CDK8 activity, using specific small molecules inhibitors, reduced the IL-6-induced phosphoproteome by 23% in Th-1 cells, including STAT3 S727 phosphorylation. STAT3 binding to target DNA sites in the genome was increased upon CDK8 inhibition, which resulted in a concomitant increase in STAT3 mediated transcriptional activity. Importantly, inhibition of CDK8 activity under Th-17 polarizing conditions resulted in an enhancement of Th-17 differentiation. Our results support a model where CDK8 regulates STAT3 transcriptional processivity via modulation of its gene loci resident time, critically contributing to diversification of IL-6 responses.

Project description:HOIL-1 deficient disease is a new early onset fatal autosomal recessive human disorder charaterized by chronic auto-inflammation, recurrent invasive bacterial infections and progressive muscular amylopectinosis. We studied the effect of TNF-α and IL-1β on transcriptional changes of primary fibroblasts from HOIL-1-, MYD88- and NEMO-deficient patients. Primary fibroblasts were obtained from HOIL-1, MYD88- and NEMO-deficient patients and healthy donors and stimulated with TNF-α or IL-1β for 2 and 6 hours. RNA were extracted and globin reduced. Labeled cRNA were hybridized to Illumina Human HT-12 Beadchips.

Project description:Disruptions of protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) elicit activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a translation- and transcription-coupled proteostatic stress response pathway. The primary translational control arm of the UPR is initiated by the PERK-dependent phosphorylation of eIF2α, leading to a large-scale reprogramming of translation and subsequent activation of an ATF4-mediated transcriptional program. It has remained challenging, however, to accurately evaluate the contribution of each component of the eIF2α/ATF4 pathway to the remodelling of transcription and translation. Here, we have used mouse embryonic fibroblasts containing either a knock-in of the non-phosphorylatable eIF2α S51A mutant or knock-out for ATF4 by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq to define the specific contributions of eIF2α phosphoryation and ATF4 in controlling the translational and transcriptional components of the UPR. These studies show that the transcriptional and translational targets of each P-eIF2α, ATF4, and the other UPR gene expression programs overlapped extensively, leading to a core set of UPR genes whose robust expression in response to ER stress is driven by multiple mechanisms. The identification of other, more factor-specific targets illustrated the potential for functional specialization of the UPR. As the UPR progressed temporally, cells employed distinct combinations of transcriptional and translational mechanisms, initiated by different factors, to adapt to ongoing stress. These effects were accompanied by a buffering effect where changes in mRNA levels were coupled to opposing changes in ribosome loading, a property which makes cooperation between transcription and translation essential to confer robust protein expression. Translational analysis by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq of PERK pathways mutants during the UPR. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking components of the PERK pathway (eIF2a phosphorylation and ATF4) were subjected to ER stress and analyzed by ribosome profiling.

Project description:In this study, we exploited interactome-based approach to isolate Regnase-1 protein complexes and found that TLR-ligand, IL-1β, or IL-17 stimulation induces formation of the Regnase-1-14-3-3 or -βTRCP complex in a mutually exclusive manner.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment contains high frequencies of inflammatory regulatory T (Treg) cells. These Treg exhibit superior regulatory function compared with those from other environments such as the spleen, partially due to expression of anti-inflammatory interleukin-10. In order to gain insight into the origins and functional roles of different Treg subsets, we used whole genome microarray analysis to characterize tumor IL-10+ and tumor IL-10- Treg subsets obtained from VERT-X reporter mice bearing transplantable tumors, along with total tumor Treg and spleen Treg from FoxP3-EGFP reporter mice. Few genes were found to differ between IL-10+ and IL-10- tumor Treg subsets (29 upregulated, 88 downregulated), suggesting a common origin of each Treg subset. The specific gene expression profile of IL-10+ tumor Treg was associated with the tumor microenvironment and absent from spleen Treg, suggesting it to be driven by components of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment. The IL-10+ tumor Treg gene expression profile displayed upregulation of genes associated with a higher activation state and greater effector function. Pooled MC38 tumor tissue from VERT-X or FoxP3-EGFP reporter mice were used to obtain IL10+ tumor Treg (VERT-X), IL10- tumor Treg (VERT-X) and total tumor Treg (FoxP3-EGFP). Spleens from tumor-free FoxP3-EGFP mice were used for spleen Treg. Three experiments for each population gave a total 12 RNA samples.

Project description:Signal transduction by the NF-kappaB pathway is a key regulator of a host of cellular responses to extracellular and intracellular messages. The NEMO adaptor protein lies at the top of this pathway and serves as a molecular conduit, connecting signals transmitted from upstream sensors to the downstream NF-kappaB transcription factor and subsequent gene activation. The position of NEMO within this pathway makes it an attractive target from which to search for new proteins that link NF-kappaB signaling to additional pathways and upstream effectors. In this work, we have used protein microarrays to identify novel NEMO interactors. A total of 112 protein interactors were identified, with the most statistically significant hit being the canonical NEMO interactor IKKbeta, with IKKalpha also being identified. Of the novel interactors, more than 30% were kinases, while at least 25% were involved in signal transduction. Binding of NEMO to several interactors, including CALB1, CDK2, SAG, SENP2 and SYT1, was confirmed using GST pulldown assays and coimmunoprecipitation, validating the initial screening approach. Overexpression of CALB1, CDK2 and SAG was found to stimulate transcriptional activation by NF-kappaB, while SYT1 overexpression repressed TNFalpha-dependent NF-kappaB transcriptional activation in human embryonic kidney cells. Corresponding with this finding, RNA silencing of CDK2, SAG and SENP2 reduced NF-kappaB transcriptional activation, supporting a positive role for these proteins in the NF-kappaB pathway. The identification of a host of new NEMO interactors opens up new research opportunities to improve understanding of this essential cell signaling pathway. For microarray screening, Invitrogen Protoarray v4.0 protein microarrays were used. Human NEMO expressed as a C-terminal GST fusion was purified from E. coli lysates and labelled with biotin. NEMO or biotinylated GST were applied to the microarrays and binding partners detected using streptavidin-Alexa Fluor 647. Significant interactors on both arrays were detected using Invitrogen Protoarray Prospector software and a Z-score cutoff of 3.0. Following subtraction of interactors present on the GST control array, a final set of significant NEMO interactors was derived. Full experimental details are supplied in Fenner, B. J., Scannell, M. & Prehn, J. H. M. (2010). Expanding the substantial interactome of NEMO using protein microarrays. PLoS ONE (in press).

Project description:Interleukin 2 (IL-2), a cytokine linked to human autoimmune diseases, limits IL-17 production. We show that deletion of Stat3 in T cells abrogates IL-17 production and attenuates autoimmunity associated with IL-2 deficiency. While STAT3 induces IL-17 and ROR?t and inhibits Foxp3, IL-2 inhibited IL-17 independently of Foxp3 and ROR?t. We found that STAT3 and STAT5 bound to multiple common sites across the Il17 genetic locus. The induction of STAT5 binding by IL-2 was associated with a reduction in STAT3 binding at these sites and the inhibition of associated active epigenetic marks. Titrating the relative activation of STAT3 and STAT5 modulated TH17 cell specification. Thus, the balance rather than the absolute magnitude of these signals determines the propensity of cells to make a key inflammatory cytokine. The roles of STAT3 and STAT5 in regulation of gene expression under Th17 differentiation was investigated. Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays were used to evaluate global gene expression.
