Intercellular cGAMP transmission induces innate immune activation and tissue inflammation in Trex1 deficiency

ABSTRACT: Intercellular transmission of the second messenger 2′,3′‐cGAMP, synthesized by the viral DNA sensor cGAMP synthase (cGAS), is a potent mode of bystander activation during host defense. However, whether this mechanism also contributes to cGAS-dependent autoimmunity remains unknown. Here, using a murine bone marrow transplantation strategy, we demonstrate that, in Trex1-/--associated autoimmunity, cGAMP shuttling from radioresistant to immune cells induces NF-κB activation, interferon regulatory protein 3 (IRF3) phosphorylation and subsequent interferon signaling. cGAMP travel prevented myeloid cell and lymphocyte death, promoting their accumulation in secondary lymphoid tissue. Nonetheless, it did not stimulate B cell differentiation into autoantibody-producing plasmablasts or aberrant T cell priming in the steady state. Although cGAMP-mediated bystander activation did not induce spontaneous organ disease, it did trigger interface dermatitis after UV light exposure, similar to cutaneous lupus erythematosus. These findings reveal that, in Trex1-deficiency, intercellular cGAMP transfer propagates cGAS signaling and, under conducive conditions, causes tissue inflammation.

Time-dependent alteration of gene expression after induced knockout of Trex1 in bone marrow derived macrophages.

Project description:Defects in three prime repair exonuclease (TREX1) cause the type I interferonopathy Aicardi Goutières syndrome. In absence of TREX1 some unknown DNA is accumulating in the cytosol which triggers cGAS/STING activation and type I interferon production. This analysis was designed to understand the kinetics of accumulation of the pathogenic cGAS ligand and the resulting altered gene expression upon induced loss of TREX1.

Loss of Trex1 in dendritic cells is sufficient to trigger systemic autoimmunity

Project description:Biallelic defects of the gene encoding for the intracellular enzyme 3â repair exonuclease (Trex)1 cause Aicardi-GoutiÃ¨res syndrome (AGS), a rare monogenic, lupus-like autoimmune disease, while heterozygous Trex1 loss of function alleles are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Trex1-/- mice develop lethal autoimmune multi-organ inflammation, which results from a chronic type I IFN response triggered by intracellular accumulation of a putative nucleic acid substrate of Trex1. This pathogenic nucleic acid is detected by the broadly, but not ubiquitously, expressed cytosolic DNA sensor cGAS, raising the question whether there are specific cell types that respond to Trex1 deficiency by production of IFN and induce autoimmunity. We generated mice with conditional knock out of the Trex1 gene and demonstrated that loss of Trex1 throughout the hematopoietic system and even selective loss in dendritic cells is sufficient to cause IFN release and autoimmunity. B cells showed no transcriptional response to Trex1 deficiency. Trex1-/- keratinocytes produced IFN but did not induce skin inflammation, whereas loss of Trex1 in cardiomyocytes triggered neither IFN response nor pathology. Trex1-deficient neurons and astrocytes did not release IFN in the CNS. In contrast, mice with selective inactivation of Trex1 in long-living CNS macrophages such as microglia locally produced IFN but did not reproduce the mild encephalitis seen in Trex1-/- mice. Collectively, individual cell types differentially respond to the loss of Trex1 and dendritic cells seem promising candidates for experiments addressing the molecular pathomechanism in Trex1 deficiency. We sorted CD19-positive B cells from spleens of Trex1fl/fl CD19-Cre+ and Trex1fl/fl CD19-Cre- mice and isolated total RNA for library construction to perform mRNA deep sequencing.

2’3’-cGAMP binds and activates Rab18 to promote cell migration

Project description:Cyclic dinucleotides serve as bacterial secondary messengers regulating sporulation, motility, biofilm formation and virulence. A nonsymmetric c-di-GAMP is firstly identified in bacteria to promote colonization, while mammalian 2’3’-cGAMP is synthesized by cGAS through binding and activating STING to trigger innate immune activation. However, pathophysiological function of 2’3’-cGAMP beyond innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we report 2’3’-cGAMP facilitates cell migration independent of STING and its innate immune function. 2’3’-cGAMP interactome analysis with a targeted shRNA-screen identifies the GTPase Rab18 as a direct 2’3’-cGAMP binding partner and effector in cell migration control. Mechanistically, 2’3’-cGAMP binds Rab18-S17, E36 and R92 residues to facilitate Rab18 activation and subsequently promotes FosB transcription in promoting cell migration. Low-dose doxorubicin induces 2’3’-cGAMP synthesis and facilitates cell migration in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, lovastatin induces Rab18 phosphorylation abolishes 2’3’-cGAMP recognition to antagonize 2’3’-cGAMP induced cell migration. Together, our study reveals a novel 2’3’-cGAMP function in cell migration control beyond innate immunity via binding Rab18 that provides new insights into clinical applications of 2’3’-cGAMP.

Gene expression profiles in BMDM cells of Trex1-KO and wild-type mice after treatment of STING antagonists

Project description:Mounting evidence demonstrates that cGAS-STING signaling is the major pathway in sensing cytosolic DNAs. However, aberrant accumulation of self DNA molecules in Trex1 (a 3'-to-5' DNA exonuclease) deficient cells usually causes over-activation of cGAS-STING signaling, which is associated with the pathology of several autoimmune diseases. Here, we investigated gene expression changes in BMDM cells of Trex1 knockout mice after manipulating cGAS-STING signaling activity via treatment of two STING antagonists (SN-011 and H151) .

Targeting TREX1 induces innate immune response in drug resistant Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most lethal type of lung cancer. Paradoxically, this tumor displays an initial exquisite response to chemotherapy; however, at relapse, the tumor is highly resistant to subsequent available therapies. Here, we report that the expression of three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1) is strongly induced in chemoresistant SCLCs. ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq revealed a significant increase in chromatin accessibility and transcriptional activity of TREX1 gene locus in chemoresistant SCLC. Analyses of human SCLC tumors and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) also showed increase in TREX1 expression in post-chemotherapy samples. TREX1 depletion caused the activation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway due to cytoplasmic accumulation of damage-associated double-stranded DNA, inducing immunogenicity and enhancing the sensitivity of drug resistant cells to chemotherapy. These findings suggest TREX1 upregulation may partially contribute to the survival of resistant cells, and its inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance antitumor immunity and potentiate the efficacy of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in chemoresistant SCLCs.

Viruses antagonise expression and function of cGAMP transporters, channels and pores

Project description:DNA sensing is a fundamental process in the immune system, including host defence against viruses. The DNA sensor cGAS synthesises 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a second messenger that activates STING, which subsequently induces innate immunity. cGAMP not only activates STING in the cell where it is produced but also transfers to other cells. Transporters, channels and pores including SLC19A1, the SLC46A family, P2X7, ABCC1 and volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) release cGAMP into the extracellular space and/or import cGAMP into cells. Emerging evidence suggests these proteins are important in antiviral immunity. Here, we investigated whether viruses antagonise cGAMP transporters, channels and pores. We report that infection with multiple human viruses depleted cGAMP conduits from cells. This included herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) that targeted the VRAC subunits LRRC8A and LRRC8C, as well as SLC46A2 and P2X7, for degradation. The HSV-1 protein UL56 was required and sufficient for these effects that were mediated at least partially by proteasomal turnover. UL56 thereby inhibited the cGAMP uptake via VRAC, SLC46A2 and P2X7. Taken together, we show that HSV-1 actively antagonises cGAMP transfer across the plasma membrane and propose this limits innate immunity by reducing cell-to-cell communication via the immunotransmitter cGAMP.
