Project description:TFRC, also known as CD71, regulates the uptake of transferrin-bound iron into cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. In a patient with a combined immunodeficiency, we identified a homozygous missense mutation in TFRC gene leading to R22W amino acid change in the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. This mutation impairs the endocytosis of TFRC, which results in profound aberrations in the immune system.

Project description:Iron metabolism is pivotal for cell fitness in the mammalian host. However, its role in group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) is unknown. Here we show that transferrin receptor CD71-mediated iron metabolism cell-intrinsically controls ILC3 maintenance, cytokine production and host protection against Citrobacter rodentium infection, and metabolically affects mitochondrial respiration by switching of oxidative phosphorylation toward glycolysis. Iron deprivation or Tfrc deficiency reduces the expression and/or activity of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a ligand-dependent transcription factor and a key ILC3 regulator. Furthermore, consistent with its role in generation of Ahr ligand, microbiome exerts a negative impact on CD71 expression in an Ahr-dependent manner. Genetic ablation or activation of Ahr in ILC3s leads to CD71 upregulation or downregulation, respectively, suggesting an active suppression of CD71 by Ahr. Iron overload partially restores defective ILC3 compartment in the small intestine of Ahr-deficient mice, representing compensatory action of CD71 upregulation during Ahr deficiency. Mechanistically, Ahr directly binds to the promoter region of the Tfrc locus to inhibit Tfrc transcription. These data collectively demonstrate an under-appreciated role of the Ahr-CD71-iron axis in regulation of ILC3 maintenance and function.

Project description:We investigated the ability of transferrin receptor1 (TfRc) knockout cells to populate different domains of the developing kidney by using a chimeric approach. The TfRc cells developed into all segments of the developing nephron, but there was a relative exclusion from the ureteric bud and a positive bias towards the stromal compartment. Here we conducted a microarray analysis of differential gene expression between TfRc deficient and wild type (wt) cells in chimeric embryonic kidneys derived from embryos created by blastocyst injection of wt blastocysts with TfRc-/- green fluorescent protein-expressing (GFP+) embryonic stem cells. Keywords: cell type comparison, genetic modification, iron signaling

Experiment Overall Design: Following blastocyst injection of 3-5 TfRc-/- GFP+ embryonic stem cells in wt blstocysts, we harvested the chimeric kidney at day E15.5 and separated the TfRc-/- GFP+ cell population from wt GFP- cell population by using fluorescence activated cell sorting. Biotinlyated cRNA was prepared from the isolated cells and hybridized to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix) according to standard protocols.

Project description:Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a pervasive health problem worldwide. Patients with a history of UTIs suffer increased risk of recurrent infections, a major risk of antibiotic resistance. Here, we show that bladder infections induce expression of Ezh2 in bladder urothelial cells. Ezh2 is the methyltransferase of polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2)-a potent epigenetic regulator. Urothelium-specific inactivation of PRC2 results in reduced urine bacterial burden, muted inflammatory response, and decreased activity of the NF-κB signaling pathway. PRC2 inactivation also facilitates proper regeneration after urothelial damage from UTIs, by attenuating basal cell hyperplasia and increasing urothelial differentiation. In addition, treatment with Ezh2-specific small-molecule inhibitors improves outcomes of the chronic and severe bladder infections in mice. These findings collectively suggest that the PRC2-dependent epigenetic reprograming controls the amplitude of inflammation and severity of UTIs and that Ezh2 inhibitors may be a viable non-antibiotic strategy to manage chronic and severe UTIs.

Project description:Beside suppressing immune responses, regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain tissue homeostasis and control systemic metabolism. Whether iron, a fundamental element for all living cells, is required for Treg expansion, is completely unknown. Here, we showed that the transferrin receptor CD71 was upregulated on activated proliferating Tregs infiltrating human liver cancer. Mice with a Treg-restricted CD71 deficiency spontaneously developed a scurfy-like disease, caused by a severe impairment in perinatal Treg expansion. CD71-null Tregs display decreased proliferation and mitochondrial functions, and a tissue-Treg signature loss. In the perinatal life, CD71 deficiency in Tregs triggered a hepatic response to iron overload, characterized by increased hepcidin transcription and iron accumulation in macrophages. A lower bacterial diversity, and a reduction of beneficial species, were detected in the faecal microbiota of CD71 conditional knock-out neonates. Our findings indicate that the CD71-mediated iron absorption is required for Treg perinatal expansion and controls the systemic iron homeostasis, which in turn shapes the bacterial gut colonization.
