Project description:Naïve CD4 T cells are traditionally viewed as a quiescent, homogeneous, resting population, but merging evidence reveals their heterogeneity, which can be crucial for understanding disease contexts and therapeutic outcomes. In this study, we identify distinct subpopulations within both murine and human naïve CD4 T cells by single cell-RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), particularly focusing on a subpopulation that expresses super-high levels of interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7Rsup-hi), along with CD97, IL-18R, and Ly6C. This subpopulation, absent in the thymus and peripherally induced, exhibits type 1 helper T cell (Th1)-poised characteristics and plays a role in inhibiting cancer progression in mouse B16F10 tumor model. In humans, this IL-7Rsup-hi subpopulation expressing CD97 correlates with responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy in cancer patients and disease state of multiple sclerosis. By elucidating the heterogeneity of naive CD4 T cells, including a Th1-poised subpopulation capable of robust type 1 responses, we highlight the importance of this heterogeneity in inflammatory conditions for defining the disease states and predicting drug responsiveness.

Project description:The transcription factor T-bet directs Th1 cell differentiation, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie this lineage-specific gene regulation are not completely understood. Here, we show that T-bet acts through super-enhancers in human and mouse Th1 cells to recruit Mediator and P-TEFb in the form of the super elongation complex (SEC). Th1-specific genes are poised in Th2 cells while T-bet-mediated recruitment of P-TEFb in Th1 cells activates transcriptional elongation. P-TEFb is recruited to both genes and super-enhancers, where it activates enhancer RNA transcription. P-TEFb inhibition and Mediator and SEC knockdown selectively block activation of T-bet target genes and P-TEFb inhibition abrogates Th1-associated experimental autoimmune uveitis. T-bet activity is independent of changes in NF-κB RelA and Brd4 binding, but T-bet- and NF-κB-mediated pathways converge to allow P-TEFb recruitment. These data support a model in which lineage-specifying factors allow recruitment of P-TEFb to poised genes to promote differentiation of alternative T cell fates.

Project description:Epidemiological investigations have revealed a significant association between alcohol consumption and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Nevertheless, the potential mechanisms are still inadequately revealed. This research aimed to investigate the impact of alcohol on CP/CPPS using an animal model and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. We first established the widely used animal model for CP/CPPS, experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP). During the induction of EAP, mice were fed with alcohol or control diet. The HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments were employed to assess the severity of inflammation in EAP mice and EAP-alcohol mice. Patients with a history of chronic alcohol consumption were also included to evaluate the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on CP/CPPS. Subsequently, proteomic analysis, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were utilized to investigate the underlying mechanism involved both in vivo and in vitro. HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments showed that alcohol exacerbated the severity of EAP in mice and patients. Proteomic and KEGG pathway analyses showed that abnormal Th1 differentiation and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were significantly enriched. Subsequent mechanistic research showed that alcohol significantly activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway andincreased the Th1 cell differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. In contrast, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and shRNA-PI3K plasmid inhibited PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation, reduced Th1 cell differentiation, and alleviated EAP inflammation severity, respectively. Our study is the first to demonstrate that alcohol intake promotes Th1 cell differentiation and exacerbates EAP by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Additionally, the role of LY294002 in inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to relieve EAP suggests that it can serveas a promising therapeutic target for CP/CPPS.

Project description:T helper cell activation is highly regulated to ensure proper immune responses while avoiding autoimmune reactions. Cell functions are determined by regulation of various levels of gene expression including posttranslational modifications of proteins. Protein prenylation is a posttranslational modification, where either a farnesyl- or a geranylgeranyl residue is added to a protein. It was shown to play a role in the differentiation and activation of various T cell populations, including Th1 cells. However, it is largely unknown which proteins are prenylated in Th1 cells and what the effect of farnesyl transferase inhibitor treatment, which blocks farnesylation of proteins, on protein prenylation is in this context. Here, using mass spectrometry, we show the identification of farnesylated proteins in human Th1 cells. This approach additionally uncovered the farnesylation of proteins, not yet known to be prenylated. These data provide valuable insights into novel aspects of protein prenylation in Th1 cell activation and deepen our understanding of the effects of farnesyl transferase inhibitor treatment on the human immune system.

Project description:T helper cell activation is highly regulated to ensure proper immune responses while avoiding autoimmune reactions. Cell functions are determined by regulation of various levels of gene expression including posttranslational modifications of proteins. Protein prenylation is a posttranslational modification, which can be influenced by statin treatment and was shown to play a role in the differentiation and activation of various T cell populations, including Th1 cells. However, it is largely unknown which proteins are prenylated in Th1 cells and what the effect of statin treatment on protein prenylation is in this context. Here, using mass spectrometry, we show the comprehensive identification of prenylated proteins in human Th1 cells including changes during their activation, before analyzing the effect of statin treatment on this process. This approach additionally uncovered the prenylation of proteins, not yet known to be prenylated, including so far unknown motifs. These data provide valuable insights into novel aspects of protein prenylation in Th1 cell activation and deepen our understanding of the intended or unintended effects of statin treatment on the human immune system.

Project description:Inter-individual differences in T helper (Th) cell responses affect susceptibility to infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. To identify factors contributing to these response differences, we analyzed the phenotypic profiles of in vitro-differentiated Th1 cells from 16 inbred mouse strains. Haplotype-based computational genetic analysis indicated that the p53 family protein, p73, affected Th1 differentiation. In cells differentiated under Th1 conditions in vitro, we demonstrated that p73 was a negative regulator of IFNγ production, and this effect required the DNA-binding activity of p73. p73 bound within the gene body or upstream of many genes that affect Th1 differentiation and regulated their expression (e.g., Ifng and Il12rb2). Furthermore, in experimental autoimmune encephalitis, which is a mouse disease model of multiple sclerosis, p73-deficient mice had increased IFNg production and decreased disease severity, whereas in the adoptive transfer model of inflammatory bowel disease, transfer of p73- deficient naïve CD4+ T cells into WT Rag2-/- hosts resulted in increased Th1 responses and enhanced disease severity compared to transfer of WT cells. These studies identify p73 as a regulator of immune responses and indicate that its dysregulation may play a role in susceptibility to autoimmune disease.
