NFATc1 controls the survival, function and suppressive capacity of B lymphocytes upon B cell receptor stimulation

ABSTRACT: Triggering of B cell receptors (BCR) induces a massive synthesis of NFATc1 in splenic B cells. By inactivating the Nfatc1 gene and re-expressing NFATc1 we show that NFATc1 levels are critical for the survival of splenic B cells upon BCR stimulation. NFATc1 ablation led to decreased BCR-induced Ca++ flux and proliferation of splenic B cells, increased apoptosis and suppressed germinal centre formation and immunoglobulin class switch by T cell-independent antigens. By controlling IL-10 synthesis in B cells, NFATc1 supported the proliferation and IL-2 synthesis of T cells in vitro and appeared to contribute to the mild clinical course of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in mice bearing NFATc1-/- B cells. These data indicate NFATc1 as a key factor controlling B cell function.

These data indicate NFATc1 as a key factor controlling B cell function. Splenic mice cells were isolated from mice bearing NFATc1 deficient B-cells and from control mice, stimulated with anti-IgM for 0h, 3h, 8h and 16h, respectively and isolated using Milteny beads to enrich the B cell population. This experiment was performed in 3 biological replicates.

Lack of NFATc1 SUMOylation prevents autoimmunity and alloreactivity

Project description:Post-translational modification with SUMO is known to regulate the activity of transcription factors, but how SUMOylation of individual proteins might influence immunity is mostly unexplored. The NFAT transcription factors play an essential role in antigen receptor-mediated gene regulation. SUMOylation of NFATc1 represses IL-2 in vitro, but its role in T cell-mediated immune responses in vivo is not clear. To this end, we generated a novel Nfatc1 transgenic mouse, which prevents SUMO modification of NFATc1. Avoidance of NFATc1 SUMOylation ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as well as graft-versus-host disease. An elevated IL-2 production promoted Treg expansion and suppressed autoreactive or alloreactive T cells. Mechanistically, increased IL-2 secretion counteracted IL-17 and IFN-γ expression through STAT5 and Blimp-1 induction. Then, Blimp-1 repressed IL-2 itself and the as well induced, proliferation-associated survival factor Bcl2A1. Collectively, we demonstrate that prevention of NFATc1 SUMOylation fine-tunes T-cell responses towards lasting tolerance. Thus, targeting NFATc1 SUMOylation presents a novel and promising strategy to treat T cell-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Lack of NFATc1 SUMOylation protects from inflammatory diseases

Project description:Post-translational modification with SUMO is known to regulate the activity of transcription factors, but how SUMOylation of individual proteins might influence immunity is mostly unexplored. NFATc1 is a transcription factor of the family of ‘Nuclear Factors of Activated T-cells’ which plays an essential role in antigen receptor-mediated gene regulation. It is expressed in multiple isoforms of which the longer isoforms can be modified by SUMOylation. SUMO modification of NFATc1 represses IL-2 in vitro, but its role in T cell-mediated immune responses in vivo is not clear. To this end, we generated a novel Nfatc1 transgenic mouse with lysine to arginine mutations, which abolish the SUMO modification within NFATc1’s C-terminal domain. Inhibition of NFATc1 SUMOylation ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as well as graft-versus-host disease. This was due to elevated IL-2 production that promoted Treg expansion and suppressed autoreactive or alloreactive T cells. Mechanistically, increased IL-2 secretion counteracted IL-17 and IFN-γ expression through STAT5 and Blimp-1 induction. Blimp-1 also repressed IL-2 itself and the as well induced survival factor Bcl2A1. Still, lack of NFATc1 sumoylation fine-tunes T-cell responses towards lasting tolerance implying a novel approach to treat inflammatory diseases.

Transcriptome analysis of WEHI B lymphoma cells overexpressing individual NFATc1 proteins

Project description:In lymphocytes, NFATc1 is the most prominent NFAT transcription factor which play a crucial role in the fate and activity of peripheral T and B cells. NFATc1 is synthesized in two prominent isoforms, the inducible short isoform NFATc1/aA and the constitutively expressed long isoform NFATc1/C. Several lines of evidence suggested that both isoforms differ markedly in their function. It was speculated that NFATc1/aA supports the proliferation and survival of lymphocytes, whereas NFATc1/C should support apoptosis and anergy induction. To proof this hypothesis we established WEHI 231 B lymphoma cells that stably (over-) express either NFATc1/aA or NFATc1/C. In preliminary experiments we could should that WEHI cells overexpressing NFATc1/aA were protected against apoptosis induction, while cells overexpressing NFATc1/C should a higher apoptosis rate. Transcriptom analysis of WEHI-231 cells overexpressing either NFATc1/aA or NFATc1/C were performed, along with a control group of WEHI-231 cells overexpressing the E.coli enzyme BirA Ligase (which is also present in all target cell lines since for further molecular assays the NFATc1 proteins were expressed as chimeric protein containing C-terminal bio-tags. The experimental results obtained indicate that the both NFATc1 proteins, NFATc1/aA and NFATc1/C, differ tremendously in their transcriptional properties.

Global analysis of NFATc1 targets in human vascular endothelial cells

Project description:We performed the newly mapping of genome-wide NFATc1 binding events in VEGF-stimulated primary cultured endothelial cells, by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). Combined NFATc1 ChIP-seq profile and the epigenetic histone marks revealed that predominant NFATc1-occupied peaks were overlapped with promoter marking but not silencer marking. DNA microarrays with NFATc1 expression or knockdown indicated the predominant NFATc1 binding targets were correlated with induced patterns. To determine NFATc1-regulated genes, a total of 5 samples were derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with or without 50ng/mL VEGF (VEGF 60min and 0min, respectively), pretreated with cyclosporine A (VEGF 60min plus CsA) and infected with adenovirus expressing the control or constitutively active NFATc1 (Ad-control and Ad-NFATc1).

NFATc1 drives allergic contact dermatitis reponses by controlling the induction of IL-17-producing CD8 cells

Project description:A plethora of data supports a major role of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes for the initiation, progression and maintenance of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). However, in-depth understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is still limited. NFATc1 , a central component of the Ca++-Calcineurin-NFAT-signalling network, plays an essential role in T cell activation. We therefore investigated its impact on contact hypersensitivity (CHS), the mouse model for ACD. The CHS response to 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) was diminished in Nfatc1fl/flxCd4-cre mice (Nfatc1-/-) as compared to wild-type (WT) animals and associated with a lower percentage of interleukin (IL)17-producing CD8+T (Tc17) cells in both inflamed skin and draining lymph nodes (dLN). In vitro Tc17 polarization assays revealed that Nfatc1-/- CD8+ T cells have a reduced capacity to polarize into Tc17 cells. Applying single-cell RNA sequencing, we realized that NFATc1 controls the T cell differentiation fate. In the absence of NFATc1, CD8+ T cells favour the development of Interferon (IFN)-g-secreting CD8+ T (Tc1) lymphocytes while in its presence they turn into Tc17 cells. Finally, we showed the adoptive transfer of TNCB-sensitized WT CD8+T cells rescued tThe CHS response could be rescued in naïve Nfatc1-/-mice by adoptive transfer of TNCB-sensitized WT CD8+T cells. Our data demonstrate that NFATc1 acts as a molecular switch controllcontrolsing the development of Tc17 cells and can be used as a target to alleviate surveilling CD8+T cell-mediated CHS responses.
