Project description:Lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) is crucial for signaling from the T cell receptor (TCR) and is controlled through tyrosine phosphorylations. Phosphorylated Tyr505 (pTyr505) promotes a closed, inactive conformation of Lck, while pTyr394 is critical for kinase activity. Additionally, pTyr192 has been suggested to regulate Lck activity by changing the specificity of the Lck Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain and/or by affecting Lck association with CD45 thus drastically increasing pTyr505. However, little is known about how pTyr192 affects endogenously expressed Lck. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate Jurkat cell lines expressing Lck Glu192 mimicking Lck pTyr192, or Lck Phe192 mimicking unphosphorylated Lck Tyr192. We confirmed that Lck Glu192 is hyperphosphorylated on Tyr505, possibly explaining reduced association of Lck Glu192 with prototypic Lck-SH2 ligands. To isolate the effect of Lck Tyr192 mutations from the effect on Lck pTyr505, we subsequently generated Jurkat cells doubly mutated on Lck Tyr192 and Lck Tyr505. Both Lck Phe192/Phe505 and Lck Glu192/Phe505 mutants co-precipitated similar amounts of binding partners. Moreover, both mutants displayed hyperphosphorylation of Tyr394. Our results indicate that CD45 is the main phosphatase controlling Lck pTyr394 in steady-state T cells. Additionally, our data demonstrate that the prototypic specificity of the Lck SH2 domain (owned by the Lck Phe192 mutants) promotes transphosphorylation of Tyr394. These observations pinpoint the fundamental role of Tyr192 in regulation of Lck activity and simultaneously reveal the most potent Lck mutants so far described

Project description:While Lck has been widely recognized to play a pivotal role in the initiation of the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway, an understanding of the precise regulation of Lck in T cells upon TCR activation remains elusive. Investigation of protein-protein interaction (PPI) using proximity labeling techniques such as TurboID has the potential to provide valuable molecular insights into Lck regulatory networks. By expressing Lck-TurboID in Jurkat T cells, we have uncovered a dynamic, short-range Lck protein interaction network upon 30 minutes of TCR stimulation. In this novel application of TurboID, we detected 27 TCR stimulation-induced Lck-proximal interactors in living T cells, including both bona fide and uncanonical Lck interactors, validating the discovery power of this tool. Our results revealed previously unappreciated Lck PPI which may be associated with cytoskeletal rearrangement, ubiquitination of TCR signaling proteins, activation of the MAPK cascade, coalescence of the LAT signalosome, and formation of the immunological synapse. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time in immune cells and for the kinase Lck that TurboID can be utilized to unveil PPI dynamics in living cells at a time scale consistent with TCR signaling.

Project description:The tolerogenic anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD3) are promising compounds for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Anti-CD3 administration induces transient T-cell depletion both in preclinical and in clinical studies. Notably, said depletion mainly affects CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells. Moreover, T1D reversal in preclinical models is accompanied by the selective expansion of CD4+FOXP3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells, which are fundamental for the long-term maintenance of anti-CD3-mediated tolerance. The mechanisms that lead to this immune-shaping by affecting mainly CD4+ T effector cells while sparing CD4+FOXP3+ Treg cells have still to be fully elucidated. This study shows that CD3 expression levels differ from one T-cell subset to another. CD4+FOXP3- T cells contain higher amounts of CD3 molecules than do CD4+FOXP3+ and CD8+ T cells both in mice and in humans. Said differences may explain the anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting that occurs in vivo after anti-CD3 administration in mice. In addition, transcriptome analysis demonstrates that CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells are significantly less responsive than CD4+FoxP3- T cells to anti-CD3 treatment at molecular levels. Thus, heterogeneity in CD3 expression likely confers the various T-cell subsets differing susceptibility to in vivo tolerogenic anti-CD3-mediated modulation. This data sheds new light on the molecular mechanism that underlies anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting, and thus may open new opportunities to improve this promising treatment.

Project description:MED23, a subunit of the Mediator coactivator complex, is important for the expression of a subset of MAPK/ERK pathway-dependent target genes; however, the genes in this subset varies between cell types. MAPK/ERK pathway-dependent processes are essential for T-cell development and function, but whether MED23 has a role in this context is unknown. We generated Med23 conditional knockout mice and induced Med23 deletion in early T cell development using the lineage specific Lck-Cre transgene. While the total cell number and distribution of cell populations in the thymuses of Med23flox/flox;Lck-Cre mice were essentially normal, MED23 null T-cells failed to efficiently populate the peripheral lymphoid organs. MED23 null thymocytes displayed decreased expression of the MAPK/ERK-responsive genes Egr1, Egr2, as well as of the membrane glycoprotein Cd52 (CAMPATH-1). MED23 null CD4 single-positive thymocytes also showed decreased expression of KLF2 (LKLF), a T cell master regulatory transcription factor. Indeed, similarities between the phenotypes of mice lacking MED23 or KLF2 in T-cells suggest that KLF2 deficiency in MED23 null T-cells is one of their key defects. Mechanistic experiments using MED23 null MEFs further suggest that MED23 is required for full activity of the MAPK-responsive transcription factor MEF2, which has previously been shown to mediate Klf2 expression. In summary, our data indicate that MED23 has critical roles in enabling T-cells to populate the peripheral lymphoid organs, possibly by potentiating MEF2-dependent expression of the T-cell transcription factor KLF2. 12 samples, 2 of each genotype (Lck-Cre, Med23flox/flox and Med23flox/flox;Lck-Cre) both with mock and anti-CD3 treatment

Project description:Dysregulation of kinase signaling pathways via mutations favors tumor cell survival and resistance to therapy and it is common in cancer. Here, we reveal a novel mechanism of post-translational regulation of kinase signaling and nuclear receptor activity via deubiquitination in acute leukemia. We observed that the ubiquitin specific protease 11 (USP11) is highly expressed in lymphoblastic leukemia and associates with poor prognosis in this disease. USP11 ablation inhibits leukemia growth in vitro and in vivo, sparing normal hematopoiesis and thymus development, suggesting that USP11 could be a therapeutic target in leukemia. USP11 forms a complex with USP7 to deubiquitinate the oncogenic lymphocyte cell-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (LCK). Deubiquitination of LCK controls its activity, thereby altering T cell receptor signaling. Impairment of LCK activity leads to increased expression of the glucocorticoid receptor transcript, culminating into transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic target genes, and sensitizes cells to glucocorticoids in primary T cell leukemia patient samples. The transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic target genes, such as BCL2L11, is orchestrated by the deubiquitinase activity and mediated via an increase in enhancer-promoter interaction intensity. Pharmacological inhibition of USP7 or genetic knockout of USP7 in combination treatment of glucocorticoid displayed improved anti-T-ALL efficacy in vivo. Our data unveil how dysregulated deubiquitination controls signaling pathways, leading to cancer cell survival and drug non-response, and suggest novel therapeutic combinations towards targeting leukemia.

Project description:Relapse and refractory T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has a poor prognosis and new combination therapies are sorely needed. This work uncovered potent drug synergies between AKT/mTORC1 inhibitors and the general tyrosine kinase-inhibitor, dasatinib. The combination effectively curbed T-ALL growth in human cell lines and primary human T-ALL samples, and was well tolerated and effective in suppressing leukemia growth in patient-derived xenografts grown in mice. Mechanistically, dasatinib inhibited phosphorylation and activation of the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) to blunt the T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway and when complexed with mTORC1 inhibition, induced potent T-ALL cell killing through reducing MCL-1 protein expression. Analysis of responses across T-ALL subtypes and association with specific genetic mutations or expression patterns failed to identify any obvious biomarkers or correlations in predicting therapy responses, although there appeared to be a trend toward higher TCR/LCK pathway activity in samples that exhibited synergistic therapy responses.
