The microRNA miR-22 represses T helper 17 cell pathogenicity by targeting PTEN-regulated pathways

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease driven by pathogenic Th17 cells. Here, we dissected the role of miR-22 in pathogenic Th17 cells by autoantigen-specific disease models. We first showed that miR-22 was upregulated in peripheral lymphoid organs and spinal cords of mice developed autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Although miR-22 was upregulated in multiple helper T cell subsets, it was dispensable for T helper cell differentiation in vitro. While miR-22-/- mice exhibited milder symptoms of disease in an active EAE model, adoptive transfer of miR-22-/- 2D2 Th17 cells into naive recipient mice promoted higher disease incidence and severity compared to mice transferred with control 2D2 Th17 cells. Global transcriptional analysis of miR-22-deficient pathogenic Th17 cells revealed upregulated genes in phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-mediated pathways, and Pten was further identified as one of its potential targets. Therefore, we identified that Th17 cell intrinsic-miR-22 could protect mice from autoimmunity by targeting PTEN-regulated pathways.

Genome-wide analysis of microRNA-22 responsive gene expression in lung antigen presenting cells in response to chronic nanoparticulate carbon black exposure

Project description:Analysis of lung CD11c+ antigen presenting cells (APCs) isolated from wildtype or Mir22-/- mice exposed to nanoparticulate carbon black (nCB) for one month. MiR-22 plays important roles in nCB induced experimental emphysema through regulating APC activation. Results provide insight into the biological role and target genes of miR-22. Smoking-related emphysema is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by T helper 17 (TH17) cells through molecular mechanisms that remain obscure. Here we have explored the role of microRNA-22 (miR-22) in emphysema. MiR-22 was upregulated in lung myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) of smokers with emphysema and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) of mice exposed to smoke or nanoparticulate carbon black (nCB) through a mechanism involving NF-kappaB. MiR-22-deficient mice, but not wild-type, showed attenuated TH17 responses and failed to develop emphysema after exposure to either smoke or nCB. We further show that miR-22 controls APC activation and TH17 responses through activation of AP-1 transcription factor complexes and histone deacetylase (HDAC) 4. Thus, miR-22 is a critical regulator of both emphysema and TH17 responses. Lung APCs were isolated from PBS (reference groups) or nCB exposed wildtype or Mir22-/- mice, total four groups. There were three replicates in each group.

Roquin suppresses PI3K-mTOR signaling to control T cell differentiation and Treg effector function

Project description:Roquin proteins are required to preclude spontaneous T cell activation and aberrant T follicular helper (Tfh) or T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation. Here, we show that deletion of Roquin encoding alleles in regulatory T cells (Tregs) also caused the activation of conventional T cells. These Tregs exhibited a follicular Treg phenotype, CD25 downregulation and could not protect from colitis. Mechanistically, Roquin was required for full expression and activity of Pten and Foxo1, two essential signaling molecules in Tregs and effector T cells. Roquin upregulated Pten by interfering with miR-17~92 binding to an overlapping cis-element in the Pten 3' UTR and downregulated the Foxo1-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase Itch. Loss of Roquin enhanced mTOR signaling and global protein synthesis, while inhibition of PI3K or mTOR in Roquin-deficient CD4+ T cells corrected increased Tfh and Th17 differentiation. Thereby, the control of PI3K-mTOR signaling by Roquin prevents autoimmunity through T cell-intrinsic and Treg-mediated regulation.

Interleukin-27 priming of T cells controls Interleukin-17-production in trans via induction of Programmed cell death ligand 1

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-27 is a key immunosuppressive cytokine that counters T helper 17 (Th17) cell-mediated pathology. To identify mechanisms by which IL-27 might exert its immunosuppressive effect, we analyzed genes in T cells rapidly induced by IL-27. We found that IL-27 priming of naïve T cells upregulated expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1-dependent manner. When co-cultured with naïve CD4+ T cells, IL-27-primed T cells inhibited the differentiation of Th17 cells in trans through a PD-1-PD-L1 interaction. In vivo, co-administration of naïve TCR transgenic T cells (2D2 T cells) with IL-27-primed T cells expressing PD-L1 inhibited the development of Th17 cells and protected from severe autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Thus, these data identify a suppressive activity of IL-27, by which CD4+ T cells can restrict differentiation of Th17 cells in trans.

Foxo1 Drives the TGFβ1-Dependent Dichotomy of Th17 Cell Fates

Project description:T-helper 17 (Th17) cells play a dual role in immunological responses, serving as essential components in tissue homeostasis and host defense against microbial pathogens, while also contributing to proinflammatory conditions and autoimmunity. While Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) is pivotal for the differentiation of non-pathogenic Th17 cells, the role of TGFβ3 and Activin in steering Th17 cells toward a pathogenic phenotype has been acknowledged. However, the molecular mechanisms governing this dichotomy remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that the transcription factor Foxo1 is upregulated in a TGFβ1 dose-dependent manner, serving as a critical regulator that specifically modulates the fate of pathogenic Th17 cells. Analyses in both uveitis patients and an Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis (EAU) mouse model reveal a strong correlation between disease severity and diminished Foxo1 expression levels. Ectopic expression of Foxo1 selectively attenuates IL-17A production under pathogenic Th17-inducing conditions. Moreover, enhanced Foxo1 expression, triggered by TGFβ1 signaling, is implicated in fatty acid metabolism pathways that favor non-pathogenic Th17 differentiation. Our drug screening identifies several FDA-approved compounds capable of upregulating Foxo1. Collectively, our findings offer compelling evidence that Foxo1 serves as a molecular switch to specifically control pathogenic versus non-pathogenic Th17 differentiation in a TGFβ1-dependent manner. These insights suggest that targeting Foxo1 could be a promising therapeutic strategy for autoimmune diseases, offering efficacy without compromising immune homeostasis.

Transcriptional changes induced by miR-21 antagonism in T helper cells abrogates Th17 tumor promoting functions

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy tightly dependent on inflammatory bone marrow microenvironment. IL-17 producing CD4+ T cells (Th17) sustain MM cells growth and osteclast-dependent bone damage. In turn, Th17 generation and function rely on inflammatory stimuli. There is compelling evidence that miR-21 is involved in Th17 differentiation and effector functions. Here, we investigated the role of miR-21, which is an inflammation induced miRNA, in Th17-mediated MM tumor growth and bone disease. We found that inhibition of miR-21 in naive T cells (miR-21i-T cells) impaired differentiation towards Th17 in vitro. Analysis of miR-21-related molecular pathways in Th17 cells demonstrated upregulation of STAT-1/-5a-5b, downregulation of STAT-3 and redirection of Th17 to Th1/activated like cells as shown by a pair-to-pair RNAseq and proteome/phosphoproteome analysis. Inhibition of miR-21 impaired Th17 mediated MM cell proliferation and osteoclast activity in vitro. We recapitulated and validated these findings in NOD/SCID gNULL mice, injected intratibially with miR-21i-T cells and MM cells. Our findings disclose the critical involvement of miR-21 in pathogenic Th17 development and activity and open the avenue to the design of miR-21-targeting strategies to counteract microenviromental dependence of MM growth and bone disease.

Transcription factor EGR2 controls homing and pathogenicity of TH17 cells in the central nervous system.

Project description:CD4+ T helper 17 (TH17) cells protect barrier tissues but also trigger autoimmunity. The mechanisms behind these opposing processes remain unclear. Here, we found that the transcription factor EGR2 controlled the transcriptional program of pathogenic TH17 cells in the central nervous system (CNS) but not that of protective TH17 cells at barrier sites. EGR2 was significantly elevated in myelin-reactive CD4+ T cells from patients with multiple sclerosis and mice with autoimmune neuroinflammation. The EGR2 transcriptional program was intricately woven within the TH17 cell transcriptional regulatory network and showed high interconnectivity with core TH17 cell-specific transcription factors. Mechanistically, EGR2 enhanced TH17 cell differentiation and myeloid cell recruitment to the CNS by upregulating pathogenesis-associated genes and myelomonocytic chemokines. T cell-specific deletion of Egr2 attenuated neuroinflammation without compromising the host’s ability to control infections. Our study shows that EGR2 regulates tissue-specific and disease-specific functions in pathogenic TH17 cells in the CNS.
