Methyltransferase Setd2 prevents T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases via phospholipid remodeling.


ABSTRACT: Coordinated metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling are critical for modulating T cell function and differentiation. However, how the epigenetic modification controls Th17/Treg cell balance via metabolic reprogramming remains obscure. Here, we find that Setd2, a histone H3K36 trimethyltransferase, suppresses Th17 development but promotes iTreg cell polarization via phospholipid remodeling. Mechanistically, Setd2 up-regulates transcriptional expression of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 4 (Lpcat4) via directly catalyzing H3K36me3 of Lpcat4 gene promoter in T cells. Lpcat4-mediated phosphatidylcholine PC(16:0,18:2) generation in turn limits endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress. These changes decrease HIF-1α transcriptional activity and thus suppress Th17 but enhance Treg development. Consistent with this regulatory paradigm, T cell deficiency of Setd2 aggravates neuroinflammation and demyelination in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis due to imbalanced Th17/Treg cell differentiation. Overall, our data reveal that Setd2 acts as an epigenetic brake for T cell-mediated autoimmunity through phospholipid remodeling, suggesting potential targets for treating neuroinflammatory diseases.
