Serine metabolism supports macrophage IL-1β production.

ABSTRACT: Serine is a substrate for nucleotides, NADPH and glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Previous studies in cancer cells and lymphocytes have shown that serine-dependent one-carbon units are necessary for nucleotide production to support proliferation. Presently, it is unknown whether serine metabolism impacts the function of non-proliferative cells, such as inflammatory macrophages. We find that in macrophages, serine is required for optimal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction of IL-1β mRNA expression, but not inflammasome activation. The mechanism involves a requirement for glycine, which is made from serine, to support macrophage glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Cell-permeable GSH, but not the one-carbon donor formate, rescues IL-1β mRNA expression. Pharmacological inhibition of de novo serine synthesis in vivo decreased LPS induction of IL-1β levels and improved survival in an LPS-driven model of sepsis in mice. Our study reveals that serine metabolism is necessary for GSH synthesis to support IL-1β cytokine production.

Glutathione restricts serine metabolism to preserve regulatory T cell function

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain immune homeostasis and prevent autoimmunity. Serine can stimulate glutathione (GSH) synthesis and feeds into the one-carbon metabolic cycle essential for effector T cell (Teff) responses. However, serine’s functions, linkage to GSH, and role in stress responses in Tregs are unknown. Here we show, using mice with Treg-specific ablation of the catalytic subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (Gclc), that GSH loss in Tregs alters serine import and synthesis, and that the integrity of this feedback loop is critical for Treg suppressive capacity. Although Gclc-ablation does not impair Treg differentiation, the mutant mice develop severe spontaneous autoimmunity and show enhanced anti-tumor responses. Gclc-deficient Tregs exhibit increased serine metabolism, mTOR activation and proliferation but FoxP3 was downregulated. Limitation of cellular serine in vitro and in vivo restores FoxP3 expression and suppressive capacity to Gclc-deficient Tregs. Our work reveals an unexpected role for GSH in restricting serine availability to preserve Treg functionality.

Effect of LPS and glutathione depletion on gene expression profiling in mouse macrophage-like cells

Project description:By microarray gene expression profiling, we investigated whether glutathione (GSH) has a signaling role in the response of RAW 264.7 cells to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). GSH was depleted by prior incubation with 120 µM buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) for 24 h, then cells were treated with 10 ng/ml LPS for 2 or 6 h. DNA microarray analysis was performed in triplicate samples in control and GSH-depleted cells, in the presence or absence of LPS.

γ-glutamylcysteine (GGC) supplementation and p-LPS challenge causes distinct proteomic changes to primary airway epithelial cell models of Cystic Fibrosis

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life limiting inherited condition associated with recurrent bacterial infections, inflammation, oxidative stress and loss of lung function. CF is characterised by deficiencies in both intra- and extracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. This GSH depletion is exacerbated by bacterial infections which further contributes to cellular oxidative stress and the inadequate control of inflammatory pathways in CF patients. A considerable body of research supports targeting the GSH biosynthesis pathway as a therapeutic strategy, however, current therapies have not demonstrated relevant improvements in CF clinical outcomes. It has previously shown that the immediate pre-cursor to glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteine (GGC) is effective in increasing intracellular levels of GSH in vivo in healthy humans. In this in-vitro primary cell line study, we study the proteomic changes involved in treating airway epithelial cells with GGC both prior to and post-LPS challenge, and without LPS challenge.

A Th17 cell-intrinsic glutathione/mitochondrial-IL-22 axis protects against intestinal inflammation

Project description:The intestinal tract generates significant reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the role of T cell antioxidant mechanisms in maintaining intestinal homeostasis is poorly understood. We used T cell-specific ablation of the catalytic subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (Gclc), which impaired glutathione (GSH) production, crucially reducing IL-22 production by Th17 cells in the lamina propria, which is critical for gut protection. Under steady-state conditions, Gclc deficiency did not alter cytokine secretion; however, C. rodentium infection induced increased ROS and disrupted mitochondrial function and TFAM-driven mitochondrial gene expression, resulting in decreased cellular ATP. These changes impaired the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, reducing phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and consequently limiting IL-22 translation. The resultant low IL-22 levels led to poor bacterial clearance, severe intestinal damage, and high mortality. Our findings highlight a previously unrecognized, essential role of Th17 cell-intrinsic GSH in promoting mitochondrial function and cellular signaling for IL-22 protein synthesis, which is critical for intestinal integrity and defense against gastrointestinal infections.

Raw data for manuscript : "Serine synthesis via reversed SHMT2 activity drives glycine depletion and acetaminophen hepatotoxicity in MASLD"

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects one third of the global population. Understanding metabolic pathways involved can provide insights into disease progression and treatment. Untargeted metabolomics of livers from mice with early-stage steatosis uncovered decreased methylated metabolites, suggesting altered one-carbon metabolism. The levels of glycine, a central component of one-carbon metabolism, were lower in mice with hepatic steatosis, consistent with clinical evidence. Stable-isotope tracing demonstrated that increased serine synthesis from glycine via reverse serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is the underlying cause for decreased glycine in steatotic livers. Consequently, limited glycine availability in steatotic livers impaired glutathione synthesis under acetaminophen-induced oxidative stress, enhancing acute hepatotoxicity. Glycine supplementation or hepatocyte-specific ablation of the mitochondrial SHMT2 isoform in mice with hepatic steatosis mitigated acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by supporting de novo glutathione synthesis. Thus, early metabolic changes in MASLD that limit glycine availability sensitize mice to xenobiotics even at the reversible stage of this disease.

Effect of liver-specific deletion of Gclc, Nrf2, and Gclc-Nrf2 on the liver

Project description:The rate-limiting step in glutathione (GSH) synthesis is controlled by glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit. GSH is reported to buffer oxidative stress. In the absence of GSH, the antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2 is reported to be stabilized. The liver has the highest levels of GSH, but its impact on liver homeostasis is unclear. To investigate this, we induced a liver-specific deletion of Gclc (Gclc f/f), Nrf2 (Nrf2 f/f), or Gclc-Nrf2 (Gclc f/f Nrf2 f/f) by injecting my via tail-vein with AAV-TBG-Cre, which induces recombination specifically in hepatocytes.

mTORC1 couples cyst(e)ine availability with GPX4 protein synthesis and ferroptosis regulation

Project description:Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) utilizes glutathione (GSH) to detoxify lipid peroxidation and plays an essential role in inhibiting ferroptosis. As a selenoprotein, GPX4 protein synthesis is highly inefficient and energetically costly. How cells coordinate GPX4 synthesis with nutrient availability remains unclear. In this study, integrated proteomic and functional analyses reveal that SLC7A11-mediated cystine uptake promotes not only GSH synthesis but also GPX4 protein synthesis. Mechanistically, cyst(e)ine activates mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and promotes GPX4 protein synthesis at least partly through the mTORC1-4E-BP signaling axis. Pharmacologic inhibition of mTORC1 decreases GPX4 protein levels, sensitizes cancer cells to ferroptosis, and synergizes with ferroptosis inducers (FINs) to suppress patient-derived xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Together, our results reveal a hitherto unrecognized regulatory mechanism to coordinate GPX4 protein synthesis with cyst(e)ine availability and suggest to use the combination of mTORC1 inhibitors and FINs in cancer treatment.

IL-21-mediated non-canonical pathway for IL-1β production in conventional dendritic cells

Project description:The canonical pathway for IL-1β production requires TLR-mediated NF-κB-dependent Il1b gene induction, followed by caspase-containing inflammasome-mediated processing of pro-IL-1β. Here we show that IL-21 unexpectedly induces IL-1β production in conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) via a STAT3-dependent but NF-κB-independent pathway. IL-21 does not induce Il1b expression in CD4+ T cells, with differential histone marks present in these cells versus cDCs. IL-21-induced IL-1β processing in cDCs does not require caspase-1 or caspase-8 but depends on IL-21-mediated death and activation of serine protease(s). Moreover, STAT3-dependent IL-1β expression in cDCs at least partially explains the IL-21-mediated pathologic response occurring during infection with Pneumonia Virus of Mice. These results demonstrate lineage-restricted IL-21-induced IL-1β via a non-canonical pathway and provide evidence for its importance in vivo.
