Glycolysis fuels phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling to bolster T cell immunity.

ABSTRACT: Infection triggers expansion and effector differentiation of T cells specific for microbial antigens in association with metabolic reprograming. We found that the glycolytic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is induced in CD8⁺ T effector cells through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. In turn, ablation of LDHA inhibits PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of Akt and its transcription factor target Foxo1, causing defective antimicrobial immunity. LDHA deficiency cripples cellular redox control and diminishes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in effector T cells, resulting in attenuated PI3K signaling. Thus, nutrient metabolism and growth factor signaling are highly integrated processes, with glycolytic ATP serving as a rheostat to gauge PI3K-Akt-Foxo1 signaling in the control of T cell immunity. Such a bioenergetic mechanism for the regulation of signaling may explain the Warburg effect.

Glycolytic ATP fuels phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling to support effector T helper 17 cell responses.

Project description:Aerobic glycolysis-the Warburg effect-converts glucose to lactate via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and is a metabolic feature of effector T cells. Cells generate ATP through various mechanisms and Warburg metabolism is comparatively an energy-inefficient glucose catabolism pathway. Here, we examined the effect of ATP generated via aerobic glycolysis in antigen-driven T cell responses. Cd4CreLdhafl/fl mice were resistant to Th17-cell-mediated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and exhibited defective T cell activation, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. LDHA deficiency crippled cellular redox balance and inhibited ATP production, diminishing PI3K-dependent activation of Akt kinase and thereby phosphorylation-mediated inhibition of Foxo1, a transcriptional repressor of T cell activation programs. Th17-cell-specific expression of an Akt-insensitive Foxo1 recapitulated the defects seen in Cd4CreLdhafl/fl mice. Induction of LDHA required PI3K signaling and LDHA deficiency impaired PI3K-catalyzed PIP3 generation. Thus, Warburg metabolism augments glycolytic ATP production, fueling a PI3K-centered positive feedback regulatory circuit that drives effector T cell responses.

Glycolysis Promotes Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Signaling In Support of T Helper 17 Cell-Mediated Autoimmunity

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.

Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase ? Regulates Dectin-2 Signaling and the Generation of Th2 and Th17 Immunity.

Project description:The C-type lectin receptor Dectin-2 can trigger the leukotriene C4 synthase-dependent generation of cysteinyl leukotrienes and the caspase-associated recruitment domain 9- and NF-?B-dependent generation of cytokines, such as IL-23, IL-6, and TNF-?, to promote Th2 and Th17 immunity, respectively. Dectin-2 activation also elicits the type 2 cytokine IL-33, but the mechanism by which Dectin-2 induces these diverse innate mediators is poorly understood. In this study, we identify a common upstream requirement for PI3K? activity for the generation of each Dectin-2-dependent mediator elicited by the house dust mite species, Dermatophagoides farinae, using both pharmacologic inhibition and small interfering RNA knockdown of PI3K? in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. PI3K? activity depends on spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and regulates the activity of protein kinase C?, indicating that PI3K? is a proximal Syk-dependent signaling intermediate. Inhibition of PI3K? also reduces cysteinyl leukotrienes and cytokines elicited by Dectin-2 cross-linking, confirming the importance of this molecule in Dectin-2 signaling. Using an adoptive transfer model, we demonstrate that inhibition of PI3K? profoundly reduces the capacity of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells to sensitize recipient mice for Th2 and Th17 pulmonary inflammation in response to D. farinae Furthermore, administration of a PI3K? inhibitor during the sensitization of wild-type mice prevents the generation of D. farinae-induced pulmonary inflammation. These results demonstrate that PI3K? regulates Dectin-2 signaling and its dendritic cell function.

Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Regulates Glycolysis through Mobilization of Aldolase from the Actin Cytoskeleton.

Project description:The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates multiple steps in glucose metabolism and also cytoskeletal functions, such as cell movement and attachment. Here, we show that PI3K directly coordinates glycolysis with cytoskeletal dynamics in an AKT-independent manner. Growth factors or insulin stimulate the PI3K-dependent activation of Rac, leading to disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, release of filamentous actin-bound aldolase A, and an increase in aldolase activity. Consistently, PI3K inhibitors, but not AKT, SGK, or mTOR inhibitors, cause a significant decrease in glycolysis at the step catalyzed by aldolase, while activating PIK3CA mutations have the opposite effect. These results point toward a master regulatory function of PI3K that integrates an epithelial cell's metabolism and its form, shape, and function, coordinating glycolysis with the energy-intensive dynamics of actin remodeling.

Cardiac hypertrophy related to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway

Project description:The insulin/IGF-IRS-PI3K-Akt pathway is highly conserved in evolution. To test whether this signaling cascade determines organ size in vertebrates, we have recently created mouse lines transgenic for constitutively active (caPI3K) and dominant-negative forms of PI3K (dnPI3K) (Shioi et al., 2000). Transgene expression is driven by the cardiac-specific a -myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter. Both transgenic lines are characterized by moderate but highly consistent changes in heart size, despite the fact that body weight and the size of other organs are completely normal. caPI3K transgenic animals have hearts 20% larger than those of wild type littermates, whereas dnPI3K mice have hearts that are 17% smaller. The observed changes in heart size correlate with an appropriate increase or decrease in the size of transgenic cardiomyocytes. These hearts do not have cardiomyopathic changes, since the contractile function of transgenic hearts is normal, and signs of necrosis, apoptosis, or interstitial fibrosis are absent (see Physiology). These data suggest an autonomous role for PI3K in cell size regulation. Our goal is now to determine how activation of this system translates into changes in cell size by identifying the trigger and components of this signaling cascade. Heterozygous caPI3K (constitutively active PI3K) and dnPI3K (dominant-negative PI3K) transgenic female mice (5-14 months) compared with non-transgenic littermates.

Assembly of a Fab1 phosphoinositide kinase signaling complex requires the Fig4 phosphoinositide phosphatase.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P(2)] regulates several vacuolar functions, including acidification, morphology, and membrane traffic. The lipid kinase Fab1 converts phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] to PtdIns(3,5)P(2). PtdIns(3,5)P(2) levels are controlled by the adaptor-like protein Vac14 and the Fig4 PtdIns(3,5)P(2)-specific 5-phosphatase. Interestingly, Vac14 and Fig4 serve a dual function: they are both implicated in the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(3,5)P(2) by an unknown mechanism. We now show that Fab1, through its chaperonin-like domain, binds to Vac14 and Fig4 and forms a vacuole-associated signaling complex. The Fab1 complex is tethered to the vacuole via an interaction between the FYVE domain in Fab1 and PtdIns(3)P on the vacuole. Moreover, Vac14 and Fig4 bind to each other directly and are mutually dependent for interaction with the Fab1 kinase. Our observations identify a protein complex that incorporates the antagonizing Fab1 lipid kinase and Fig4 lipid phosphatase into a common functional unit. We propose a model explaining the dual roles of Vac14 and Fig4 in the synthesis and turnover of PtdIns(3,5)P(2).

Drosophila phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 regulates apoptosis and growth via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathway.

Project description:Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1) is a central mediator of the cell signaling between phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and various intracellular serine/threonine kinases including Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), p70 S6 kinases, and protein kinase C. Recent studies with cell transfection experiments have implied that PDK-1 may be involved in various cell functions including cell growth and apoptosis. However, despite its pivotal role in cellular signalings, the in vivo functions of PDK-1 in a multicellular system have rarely been investigated. Here, we have isolated Drosophila PDK-1 (dPDK-1) mutants and characterized the in vivo roles of the kinase. Drosophila deficient in the dPDK-1 gene exhibited lethality and an apoptotic phenotype in the embryonic stage. Conversely, overexpression of dPDK-1 increased cell and organ size in a Drosophila PI3K-dependent manner. dPDK-1 not only could activate Drosophila Akt/PKB (Dakt1), but also substitute the in vivo functions of its mammalian ortholog to activate Akt/PKB. This functional interaction between dPDK-1 and Dakt1 was further confirmed through genetic analyses in Drosophila. On the other hand, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which has been proposed as a possible target of dPDK-1, did not interact with dPDK-1. In conclusion, our findings provide direct evidence that dPDK-1 regulates cell growth and apoptosis during Drosophila development via the PI3K-dependent signaling pathway and demonstrate our Drosophila system to be a powerful tool for elucidating the in vivo functions and targets of PDK-1.

Phosphoinositide kinase signaling controls ER-PM cross-talk.

Project description:Membrane lipid dynamics must be precisely regulated for normal cellular function, and disruptions in lipid homeostasis are linked to the progression of several diseases. However, little is known about the sensory mechanisms for detecting membrane composition and how lipid metabolism is regulated in response to membrane stress. We find that phosphoinositide (PI) kinase signaling controls a conserved PDK-TORC2-Akt signaling cascade as part of a homeostasis network that allows the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to modulate essential responses, including Ca(2+)-regulated lipid biogenesis, upon plasma membrane (PM) stress. Furthermore, loss of ER-PM junctions impairs this protective response, leading to PM integrity defects upon heat stress. Thus PI kinase-mediated ER-PM cross-talk comprises a regulatory system that ensures cellular integrity under membrane stress conditions.
