Unilateral ureteral obstruction in IL-33-deficient and wild type C57/BL6 mice

ABSTRACT: Interleukin (IL)-33 is a cytokine that appears to mediate fibrosis by signaling via its receptor ST2 (IL-33R/IL1RL1). It is also, however, a protein that after synthesis is sorted to the cell nucleus, where it appears to affect chromatin folding. Here we describe a novel role for nuclear IL-33 in regulating the fibroblast phenotype in murine kidney fibrosis driven by unilateral ureteral obstruction. Transcriptional profiling of IL-33-deficient kidneys 24h after ligation revealed enhanced expression of fibrogenic genes and enrichment of gene sets involved in extracellular matrix formation and remodeling. These changes relied on intracellular effects of IL-33, because they were not reproduced by treatment with a neutralizing antibody to IL-33 that prevents IL-33R/ST2L receptor signaling nor were they observed in IL33R/ST2-deficient kidneys. To further explore the intracellular function of IL-33, we established transcription profiles of human fibroblasts, observing that knockdown of IL-33 skewed the transcription profile from an inflammatory towards a myofibroblast phenotype, reflected in higher levels of COL3A1, COL5A1 and transgelin protein, as well as lower expression levels of IL6, CXCL8, CLL7 and CCL8. In conclusion, our findings suggest that nuclear IL-33 in fibroblasts dampens the initial profibrotic response until persistent stimuli, as enforced by UUO, can override this protective mechanism.

RNA-seq profile of expanded human ST2-transduced Tregs cultured with IL-2 and TCR in the presence or absence of IL-33

Project description:Because of the extensive data in mice supporting the concept that ST2+ Tregs might have desirable therapeutic properties, including tissue repair function, high suppressive capacity, and enhanced stability, we engineered human blood Tregs to constitutively express ST2 (IL-33R). Here we used RNA sequencing to explore the effects of short-term culture with IL-33 on human ST2-transduced Tregs.

Unconventional ST2- and CD127-negative lung ILC2 populations are induced by Alternaria

Project description:Background: Alternaria exposure is associated with severe asthma in humans. Alternaria exposure in mice potently activates group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) via the IL-33/ST2 axis and causes ILC2s to robustly secrete type 2 cytokines. Objective: Our aim was to determine whether conventionally used ILC2 markers, ST2 (IL-33R) and CD127 (IL-7Ra), were sufficient to identify all Th2-cytokine producing ILCs after Alternaria exposure. Methods: Mice received intranasal Alternaria for three days prior to analysis. Lung ILCs were identified by flow cytometry as CD45+Lineage−Thy1.2+ lymphocyte-sized cells, divided into four subsets based on ST2 and CD127 expression, and stained for intracellular cytokines and transcription factors. Sort-purified ILC subpopulations were also analyzed by RNA sequencing and qPCR. Results: Alternaria exposure led to accumulation of all ILC populations regardless of ST2 or CD127 expression. Nearly half of the GATA-3+, IL-5+, and IL-13+ ILCs were “unconventional” as they were either single or double negative for ST2/CD127. Further, these populations upregulated CD25, KLRG1, and ICOS after Alternaria challenge. Some activated unconventional IL-5+ ILC2s also produced IFNγ and IL-17A. In addition to shared ILC2 transcripts (Gata3, Il5, Il13) in all populations, RNA-seq further identified novel transcripts enriched in each subset. Finally, transcripts from all populations that correlated best with IL-5 and IL-13 production included Tnfrsf18, Ffar2, and Pde4b. Conclusions: Unconventional ST2- and CD127-negative mouse lung ILC2 populations are induced by Alternaria. Thus, commonly used lung ILC2 identification methods based on ST2 and CD127 do not accurately account for the total ILC2 burden and may exclude nearly half of these cells.

Epidermal growth factor receptor expression licenses T helper-2 cells to function in a T cell receptor-independent fashion

Project description:Gastro-intestinal helminth infections trigger the release of interleukin-33 (IL-33), which induces type 2 helper T-cells (Th2 cells) at the site of infection to produce IL-13, thereby contributing to host resistance in a T cell receptor (TCR)-independent manner. Here we show that as a prerequisite for IL-33 induced IL-13 secretion, Th2 cells required the expression of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and of its ligand, Amphiregulin, for the formation of a signaling complex between T1/ST2 (the IL-33R) and EGFR. This shared signaling complex allowed IL-33 to induce the EGFR-mediated activation of the MAP-kinase signaling pathway and consequently the expression of IL-13. Lack of EGFR expression on T cells abrogated IL-13 expression in infected tissues and impaired host resistance. EGFR expression on Th2 cells was TCR-signaling dependent, and therefore our data reveal a mechanism by which antigen-presentation controls the innate effector function of Th2 cells at the site of inflammation.

RNA-Sequencing of ST2+ Treg cells in response to IL-33 stimulation

Project description:The effects of IL-33 on ST2+ Treg cells were not studied thouroughly. We FACS-sorted in vitro expanded ST2+ Treg cells from C57BL/6 Foxp3-IRES-mRFP (B6 FIR) mice. We next used RNA-seq techonology to define how recombinant IL-33 (rIL-33) may impact mouse Treg by to assessing the transcriptome of IL-33-stimulated ST2+ Treg cells compared to that of untreated ST2+ Treg cells. Our data revealed that ST2+ Treg stimulated with rIL-33 for 6 hours exhibited increased expression of Il10 and Il13 compared to unstimulated ST2+ Treg cells.

The alarmin IL-33 amplifies an immune response in the degenerating retina

The alarmin IL-33 amplifies an immune response in the degenerating retina

Project description:ST2 heterodimerizes with IL-1RAcp to form the receptor for IL-33, which is primarily associated with allergic inflammation by inducing Th2 responses. Recently, however, IL-33 was found to be expressed in the central nervous system and in retinal Muller cells which imply functions, as yet undescribed, beyond Th2 mediated inflammation. Muller cells support the health of the retina and photoreceptors and are also involved in inflammation in retinal degeneration. It is not known how IL-33/ST2 functions in this capacity. We recently found that ST2 ko mice are protected from CLE-induced photoreceptor loss, implying a detrimental effect of IL33/ST2 in CLE. We wish to perform microarray analysis using WT and ST2 KO mice in CLE model to better understand the mechanism by which IL-33/ST2 regulates retinal degeneration. CLE (Constant Light Exposure) is a model of retinal damage/degeneration in mice. Mice are exposed to bright light 24 hours a day for a period of time which damages retina photoreceptors. This damage is assessed by histology, optical coherence tomography (OCT), which measures retina thickness in vivo. In this experiment, the WT and ST2 KO mice (5 mice per genotype per time point) will be exposed to 1200-lux constant light for 0, 3, 10 days. The retinal RNA will be isolated and analyzed for differential gene expression by microarray.

Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of IL-33 mediated signaling

Project description:Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a novel member of the IL-1 family of cytokines that plays diverse roles in the regulation of immune responses. IL-33 exerts its effects by binding to a heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of interleukin-1 receptor like 1 (IL1RL1) and an accessory receptor protein IL-1RAcP resulting in the production and release of proinflammatory cytokines. A detailed understanding of the signaling pathways activated by IL-33 remains elusive. To elucidate IL-33 mediated signaling, we performed a global quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis using stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture. Employing anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and titanium dioxide-based enrichment strategies, we identified 6,207 phosphorylation sites mapping to 2,013 phosphoproteins of which more than 185 phosphosites are regulated by IL-33 stimulation. Our findings will greatly expand the understanding of IL-33 signaling and provide novel therapeutic targets for IL-33/IL-33R-associated diseases in humans.

The IL-33/ST2 axis and tissue Treg maintains epithelial homeostasis in the skin and restrains cancer development

Project description:IL-33 is constitutively expressed in many epithelial tissues at steady state and signals through the receptor, ST2. IL-33 is released upon tissue injury and functions as an endogenous danger signal to alert the immune system to tissue damage. Here we investigate the physiological role of the IL-33/ST2 axis in skin homeostasis and cancer development. We show that expression of IL-33 differentiates malignant from normal/benign human tissues and that in mouse models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma the IL-33/ST2 axis protects against carcinogenesis. Tissue Treg are the predominant cells expressing ST2 in the skin and localise around the hair follicle and IL-33+ epithelial cells (EC). Adoptive transfer experiments demonstrate that skin Treg regulate EC differentiation, minimizes mutational load and retrains cancer development following exposure to an environmental carcinogen. Our findings indicate an important role for direct EC-Treg cross-talk as an early checkpoint to contain tissue damage and carcinogenesis.
