Bhlhe40 is an essential repressor of IL-10 during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

ABSTRACT: The cytokine IL-10 antagonizes pathways that control Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Nevertheless, the impact of IL-10 during Mtb infection has been difficult to decipher because loss of function studies in animal models have yielded only mild phenotypes. We have discovered that the transcription factor Bhlhe40 is required to repress Il10 expression during Mtb infection. Loss of Bhlhe40 in mice results in higher Il10 expression, higher bacterial burden, and early susceptibility similar to that observed in mice lacking IFN-g. Deletion of Il10 in Bhlhe40-/- mice reverses these phenotypes. Bhlhe40 deletion in T cells or CD11c+ cells is sufficient to cause susceptibility to Mtb. Bhlhe40 represents the first transcription factor found to be essential during Mtb infection to specifically regulate Il10 expression, revealing the importance of strict control of IL-10 production by innate and adaptive immune cells during infection. Our findings uncover a previously elusive but significant role for IL-10 in Mtb pathogenesis.

BHLHE40 regulates myeloid cell polarization through IL-10-dependent and independent mechanisms

Project description:Better understanding of the host responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections is required to prevent tuberculosis and develop new therapeutic interventions. The host transcription factor BHLHE40 is essential for controlling Mtb infection, in part by repressing Il10 expression, where excess IL-10 contributes to the early susceptibility of Bhlhe40-/- mice to Mtb infection. Deletion of Bhlhe40 in lung macrophages and dendritic cells is sufficient to increase the susceptibility of mice to Mtb infection, but how BHLHE40 impacts macrophage and dendritic cell responses to Mtb is unknown. Here we report that BHLHE40 is required in myeloid cells exposed to GM-CSF, an abundant cytokine in the lung, to promote the expression of genes associated with a pro-inflammatory state and better control of Mtb infection. Loss of Bhlhe40 expression in murine bone marrow derived myeloid cells cultured in the presence of GM-CSF results in lower levels of pro-inflammatory associated signaling molecules IL-1b, IL-6, IL-12, TNFα, iNOS, IL-2, KC, and RANTES, as well as higher levels of the anti-inflammatory associated molecules MCP-1 and IL-10 following exposure to heat-killed Mtb. Deletion of Il10 in Bhlhe40-/- myeloid cells restored some, but not all, pro-inflammatory signals, demonstrating that BHLHE40 promotes pro-inflammatory responses via both IL-10-dependent and independent mechanisms. In addition, we show that macrophages and neutrophils within the lungs of Mtb-infected Bhlhe40-/- mice exhibit defects in iNOS production compared to infected WT mice, supporting that BHLHE40 promotes pro-inflammatory responses in innate immune cells, which may contribute to the essential role for BHLHE40 during Mtb infection in vivo.

STAT4 promotes Bhlhe40 induction to drive protective IFN-g from natural killer cells during viral infection [BHLHE40 CUT&RUN]

Project description:NK cells represent a cellular component of the mammalian innate immune system, and mount rapid responses against viral infection, including the secretion of the potent anti-viral effector cytokine IFN-g. Following mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, Bhlhe40 was the most highly induced transcription factor in NK cells among the basic helix-loop-helix family. Bhlhe40 upregulation in NK cells depended upon IL-12 and IL-18 signals, with the promoter of Bhlhe40 enriched for STAT4 and the permissive histone H3K4me3, and STAT4-deficient NK cells showing an impairment of Bhlhe40 induction and diminished H3K4me3. Transcriptomic and protein analysis of Bhlhe40-deficient NK cells revealed a defect in IFN-g production during MCMV infection, resulting in diminished protective immunity following viral challenge. Finally, we provide evidence that Bhlhe40 directly promotes IFN-g by binding throughout the Ifng loci in activated NK cells. Thus, our study reveals how STAT4-mediated control of Bhlhe40 drives protective IFN-g secretion by NK cells during viral infection.

The transcription factor Bhlhe40 is a switch of inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory Th1 cell fate determination

Project description:Type 1 T helper (Th1) cells play a critical role in host defense against intracellular pathogens and in autoimmune diseases by producing a key inflammatory cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ; some Th1 cells can also be anti-inflammatory through producing IL-10. However, the molecular switch for regulating the differentiation of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory Th1 cells is still elusive. Here we show that Bhlhe40-deficient CD4 Th1 cells produced less IFN-γ but substantially more IL-10 than wild type Th1 cells. Bhlhe40-mediated IFN-γ production was independent of transcription factor T-bet regulation. Mice with conditional deletion of Bhlhe40 in T cells succumbed to Toxoplasma gondii infection and blockage of IL-10 signaling during infection rescued these mice from death. Thus, our results demonstrate that transcription factor Bhlhe40 is a molecular switch for determining the fate of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory Th1 cells.

Microarray data for Bhlhe40-sufficient and -deficient resident macrophages

Project description:Most tissue-resident macrophage populations develop during embryogenesis, self-renew in the steady state, and can expand during type 2 immunity. Whether shared mechanisms regulate macrophage proliferation in homeostasis and disease is unclear. We found that the transcription factor Bhlhe40 was cell-intrinsically required in large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) for self-renewal and maintenance, but was not required in other resident macrophages. Bhlhe40 was selectively necessary in LPMs for proliferation, but not polarization, in response to IL-4. During a helminth infection, Bhlhe40 was required for normal LPM cell cycling. Bhlhe40 repressed the expression of Maf and Mafb and directly promoted expression of cell cycle-related transcripts to enable proliferation of LPMs. Genomic sites bound by Bhlhe40 in LPMs included some co-bound by the macrophage lineage-determining factor PU.1 and others uniquely bound by Bhlhe40, including Maf and cell cycle-related loci. Our findings demonstrate a tissue-specific control mechanism regulating resident macrophage proliferation in homeostasis and type 2 immunity.
