Project description:It is well known that some pathogenic cells have enhanced glycolysis, the regulatory network leading to increased glycolysis are not well characterized. Here, we show that CNS-infiltrated pathogenic TH17 cells from diseased mice specifically upregulate glycolytic pathway genes compared to homeostatic intestinal TH17 cells. Bioenergetic assay and metabolomics analyses indicate that in vitro derived pathogenic TH17 cells are highly glycolytic compared to nonpathogenic TH17 cells. Chromatin landscape analyses demonstrate TH17 cells in vivo show distinct chromatin states, and pathogenic TH17 cells show enhanced chromatin accessibility at glycolytic genes with NF-kB binding sites. Mechanistic studies reveal that miR-21 targets the E3 ubiquitin ligase Peli1-c-Rel pathway to promote glucose metabolism of pathogenic TH17 cells. Therapeutic targeting c-Rel-mediated glycolysis in pathogenic TH17 cells represses autoimmune diseases. These findings extend our understanding of the regulation TH17 cell glycolysis in vivo and provide insights for future therapeutic intervention to TH17 cell mediated autoimmune diseases.

Project description:T helper (Th) cell differentiation is driven by antigen and accessory signals that activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) to induce transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming including aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). Here, we show that ATP generated through glycolysis fuels PI3K signaling to promote pathogenic Th17 cell responses. Mice with T cell-specific ablation of the glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) were resistant to Th17 cell-mediated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in association with defective T cell activation, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. LDHA deficiency crippled the cellular redox balance and inhibited ATP production causing attenuated phosphoinositide (3,4,5)-trisphosphate generation, and diminished activation of the Akt kinase and phosphorylation of its transcription factor target Foxo1. Th17 cell-specific expression of an Akt-insensitive Foxo1 mutant recapitulated the Th17 cell differentiation defects caused by LDHA deficiency. Thus, PI3K signaling and glycolytic bioenergetics constitute a positive feedback regulatory circuit essential for Th17 cell-mediated autoimmunity.

Project description:The aim of this study is to investigate a role of glycolysis in transcriptional programing of Th17 cells during differentiation. Naïve CD4 T cells were differentiated towards Th17 cells with or without a mild inhibition of glycolysis, and transcriptome signature was analyzed. We found about 200 transcripts were differentially regulated. Further pathway analysis suggested that glycolysis controls genes associated with IL-2/STAT5 signaling during Th17 differentiation. Inhibition of glycolysis resulted in enrichment of genes associated with translational processes and Th17 signature genes.

Project description:RORγt is well recognized as the lineage defining transcription factor for TH17 cell development. However, the cell-intrinsic mechanisms that negatively regulate TH17 cell development and autoimmunity remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that the transcriptional repressor REV-ERBa is exclusively expressed in TH17 cells, competes with RORγt for their shared DNA consensus sequence, and negatively regulates TH17 cell development via repression of genes traditionally characterized as RORγt-dependent, including Il17a. Deletion of REV-ERBa enhanced TH17-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, exacerbating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and colitis. Treatment with REV-ERB-specific synthetic ligands, which have similar phenotypic properties as RORγ modulators, suppressed TH17 cell development, was effective in colitis intervention studies, and significantly decreased the onset, severity, and relapse rate in several models of EAE without affecting thymic cellularity. Our results establish that REV-ERBa negatively regulates pro-inflammatory TH17 responses in vivo and identifies the REV-ERBs as potential targets for the treatment of TH17-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Immunity to fungal infections is mediated by cells of the innate and adaptive immune system. Activation of immune cells requires Ca2+ influx through the Ca2+ channel ORAI1, which is activated by stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). Th17 cells are essential for immunity to C. albicans infection and require Ca2+ influx for expression of IL-17A and other Th17 cytokines. In mice, deletion of STIM1 and thus Ca2+ influx in all immune cells enhanced susceptibility to mucosal C. albicans infection, whereas T cell-specific deletion of STIM1 impaired immunity to systemic C. albicans infection. STIM1 deletion in CD4 T cells had different effects on gene expression programs in pathogenic (proinflammatory) and non-pathogenic Th17 cells. STIM1 deletion in non-pathogenic Th17 cells, which are required for antifungal immunity, compromised the expression of genes in several metabolic pathways including Foxo and HIF-1a signaling as well as the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Consequently, STIM1 deficient non-pathogenic Th17 cells had impaired glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration. By contrast, STIM1 deletion in pathogenic Th17 cells showed only attenuated mitochondrial function but normal glycolysis.

Project description:The outcome of cancer and autoimmunity is dictated by the recruitment and effector functions of CD4+ conventional T cells (Tconv cells). The NF-kappaB (NF-κB) family of transcription factors is implicated in different aspects of Tconv cell biology, but the cell-autonomous roles of NF-κB subunits are elusive. Here, we explored the contributions of canonical RelA and c-Rel subunits to Tconv function in health and disease. We found that RelA, rather than c-Rel, shaped the transcriptome of mouse and human Tconv cells at steady-state and was required for Tconv polarization toward the TH17 lineage in vitro. RelA-deficient mice were fully protected against neuro-inflammation in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), because of defective transition to a pathogenic TH17 gene expression program. In contrast, Tconv-restricted ablation of c-Rel, but not RelA, impaired their function in the microenvironment of transplanted tumors, resulting in enhanced cancer burden. c-Rel in Tconv cells was required for the response to PD-1-blockade therapy, and a c-Rel-dependent gene signature was correlated with better response and prognosis in anti-PD-1-treated patients. Our data demonstrate a division of labor between different subunits of the NF-κB pathway, paving the way for subunit-targeted immunotherapies.

Project description:Purpose: Recently discovered activating Interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta (IL6ST, encoding glycoprotein 130 (gp130)) mutations, as well as germline Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gain-of-function mutations are associated with multi-organ autoimmunity, severe morbidity, and adverse prognosis, resulting in an unmet medical need. Methods: To dissect crucial cellular subsets and disease biology involved in activated gp130 signaling, in this study we constitutively activated the gp130/JAK/STAT3 axis by means of a transgene, L-gp130, specifically targeted to T-cells. Results: Activating gp130 signaling in vivo resulted in fatal early-onset multi-organ autoimmunity, resembling numerous clinical features of human STAT3 gain-of-function disease. We observed strong T-cell activation and effector differentiation, accompanied by TH17 expansion and interferon-gamma production. Transcriptome profiling of murine CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells revealed commonly dysregulated genes and a STAT3 gain-of-function signature that was used to discriminate between STAT3 gain-of-function and healthy control patients. Conclusions: Hyperactive gp130/STAT3 signaling leads to strong TH17-mediated autoimmunity phenotypically resembling human STAT3 gain-of-function disease and identify TH17-cells as a key cellular subset for initiation and maintenance of autoimmunity
