Project description:Beyond a function in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets can regulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Hyperactive platelets are frequently associated with multiple human autoimmune diseases, yet their pathogenic functions in these diseases have not been fully established. Emerging studies show an essential function of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in maintenance of immune homeostasis. Here, we show that mice with platelet-specific deletion of Pten, develop age-related lymphoproliferative diseases and humoral autoimmunity not seen in wildtype animals. Platelet-specific Pten-deficient mice have aberrant T cell activation, excessive T follicular helper (Tfh) cell responses and accumulation of platelet aggregates in lymph nodes. Transferred Pten-deficient platelets are able to infiltrate into the peripheral lymphoid tissues and form more aggregates. Moreover, Pten-deficient platelets are hyperactive and overproduce multiple Tfh-promoting cytokines via activation of the PDK1/mTORC2-AKT-SNAP23 pathway. Pten-deficient platelets show enhanced interaction with CD4+ T cells and promote conversion of CD4+ T cells into Tfh cells. Our results implicate PTEN in platelet-mediated immune homeostasis, and provide evidence that hyperactive platelets function as an important mediator in autoimmune diseases using mouse models.

Project description:The interplay between effector and regulatory T (Treg) cells is crucial for adaptive immunity, but how Treg control effector cell flexibility is elusive. We found that the phosphatase PTEN links Treg stability to the repression of TH1 and TFH (follicular helper) responses. Depletion of PTEN in Treg resulted in excessive TFH and germinal center responses and spontaneous inflammatory disease. These defects are considerably blocked by deletion of Interferon-γ, indicating coordinated control of TH1 and TFH responses. Mechanistically, PTEN maintains Treg stability and proper metabolic balance between glycolysis and mitochondrial fitness. Moreover, PTEN deficiency markedly upregulates mTORC2-Akt activity, and loss of this activity restores PTEN-deficient Treg function. Our studies establish a PTEN-mTORC2 axis that actively maintains Treg stability and coordinates Treg-mediated control of effector cell flexibility. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in CD4+CD25+Foxp3-YFP+ Treg cells from wild-type (WT; C57BL/6 crossed with Foxp3-Cre) and Ptenfl/flFoxp3-Cre (Ptenfl/fl mice crossed with Foxp3-Cre) mice

Project description:PTEN phosphatase inhibits metastasis

Project description:PTEN encodes a tumor suppressor with lipid and protein phosphatase activities whose dysfunction has been implicated in melanomagenesis; less is known about how its phosphatases regulate melanoma metastasis. We show that PTEN expression negatively correlates with metastatic progression in human melanoma samples and a PTEN-deficient mouse melanoma model. Wildtype PTEN expression inhibited melanoma cell invasiveness and metastasis in a dose-dependent manner, behaviors that specifically required PTEN protein phosphatase activity. PTEN phosphatase activity regulated metastasis through Entpd5. Entpd5 knockdown reduced metastasis and IGF1R levels while promoting ER stress. In contrast, Entpd5 overexpression promoted metastasis and enhanced IGF1R levels, while reducing ER stress. Moreover, Entpd5 expression was regulated by the ER stress sensor ATF6. Altogether, our data show that PTEN phosphatase activity inhibits metastasis by negatively regulating the Entpd5/IGF1R pathway through ATF6, thereby identifying novel candidate therapeutic targets for the treatmtreatingwith PTEN mutant melanoma.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease driven by pathogenic Th17 cells. Here, we dissected the role of miR-22 in pathogenic Th17 cells by autoantigen-specific disease models. We first showed that miR-22 was upregulated in peripheral lymphoid organs and spinal cords of mice developed autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Although miR-22 was upregulated in multiple helper T cell subsets, it was dispensable for T helper cell differentiation in vitro. While miR-22-/- mice exhibited milder symptoms of disease in an active EAE model, adoptive transfer of miR-22-/- 2D2 Th17 cells into naive recipient mice promoted higher disease incidence and severity compared to mice transferred with control 2D2 Th17 cells. Global transcriptional analysis of miR-22-deficient pathogenic Th17 cells revealed upregulated genes in phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-mediated pathways, and Pten was further identified as one of its potential targets. Therefore, we identified that Th17 cell intrinsic-miR-22 could protect mice from autoimmunity by targeting PTEN-regulated pathways.

Project description:PTEN (Phosphatase and TENsin homolog deleted on chromosome ten) is a major tumor suppressor gene that is frequently mutated or lost under cancerous conditions. PTEN is a dual-specificity phosphatase that negatively regulates the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway at the plasma membrane (PM). Its functional regulation and cellular localization are known to be conformationally driven. Access to the PM is phospho-regulated by open and closed PTEN forms. However, clarifying the underlying structural mechanisms is still an open avenue of research. Here, we apply an integrative structural modeling approach, combining coarse-grained and all-atom molecular dynamics with experimental crosslinking mass spectrometry. Conformational exchange between an “eased” form and a “strained” form brings the protein’s phosphatase and C2 domains closer together, blocking the catalytic site, and affecting the loops involved in PM binding. Our full-length PTEN models, AlphaMissense, and RaSP were used to better predict the consequences of PTEN mutations.

Project description:The PTEN tumor suppressor controls cell death and survival by regulating functions of various molecular targets. Whilst the role of PTEN lipid-phosphatase activity on PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and inhibition of PI3K pathway is well characterized, the biological relevance of PTEN protein-phosphatase activity remains undefined. Using knock-in (KI) mice harbouring cancer-associated and functionally relevant missense mutations, we show that although loss of PTEN lipid-phosphatase function cooperates with oncogenic PI3K to promote rapid mammary tumorigenesis, the additional loss of PTEN protein-phosphatase activity triggered an extensive cell death response evident in early and advanced mammary tumors. Omics and drug-targeting studies revealed that PI3Ks act to reduce glucocorticoid receptor (GR) levels, which are rescued by loss of PTEN protein-phosphatase activity to restrain cell survival. The dual regulation of GR by PI3K and PTEN functions as a rheostat that can be exploited for the treatment of PTEN-loss driven cancers.
