Free cholesterol primes the IFN-I response by facilitating the release of TLR9 from UNC93B1

ABSTRACT: Elevated cholesterol is positively associated with autoimmunity. However, it is unclear which mechanism directly link them. Here, we report that free cholesterol in the endolysosomal membrane regulates the IFN-I response in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) by facilitating the release of TLR9 from UNC93B1. The cholesterol transporter NPC1 was highly expressed in pDCs, and conditional deletion of Npc1 via Cd11c-Cre (Npc1∆DC) impaired IFNα production by TLR9-stimulated pDCs. Npc1∆DC mice exhibited a weakened IFNα response to HSV-1 infection, and ameliorated anti-DNA autoantibodies and nephritis when crossed to B6.Sle1yaa transgenic lupus model. Mechanistically, through click chemistry-based proteome-wide screening, we found that the TLR chaperone UNC93B1 could bind to free cholesterol. The juxtamembrane cholesterol gradient, mediated by NPC1, promoted TLR9 release from UNC93B1. Increased membrane-bound cholesterol dramatically enhanced IFNα response by murine and human pDCs. Our results suggested that the participation of free cholesterol in TLR9 signaling could directly link elevated cholesterol with autoimmunity.

UNC93B1 variants underlie TLR7-dependent autoimmunity

Project description:UNC93B1 is critical for trafficking and function of nucleic acid-sensing Toll-like receptors (TLRs) TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9, which are essential for antiviral immunity. Overactive TLR7 signaling induced by recognition of self-nucleic acids has been implicated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we report UNC93B1 variants (E92G and R336L) in four patients with early-onset SLE. Patient cells or mouse macrophages carrying the UNC93B1 variants produced high amounts of TNF-α and IL-6 and upon stimulation with TLR7/TLR8 agonist, but not with TLR3 or TLR9 agonists. E92G causes UNC93B1 protein instability and reduced interaction with TLR7, leading to selective TLR7 hyperactivation with constitutive type I IFN signaling. Thus, UNC93B1 regulates TLR subtype-specific mechanisms of ligand recognition. Our findings establish a pivotal role for UNC93B1 in TLR7-dependent autoimmunity and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting TLR7 in SLE.

NCF1-dependent low production of reactive oxygen species in plasmacytoid dendritic cells exacerbates lupus

Project description:Low capacity to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to mutations in neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1/p47phox) is strongly associated with lupus development both in humans and mouse models. Here, we aim to identify the major mechanisms of the Ncf1-disease association. We found that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), the most potent producers of type I IFNs, exacerbate pristane-induced lupus in ROS-defective Ncf1-mutant and human NCF1-339 variant carrying mice. ROS deficiency in mouse models with Ncf1 mutation or human NCF1-339 variant leads to enhanced pDC generation via the TLR7/AKT/mTOR pathway and accumulation at sites of inflammation, resulting in an increased IFNα secretion. The produced IFNα further stimulates the JAK1/STAT1 pathway, which we found is hyperreactive in ROS-deficient pDCs. This, in turn, leads to increased type I IFN signature and enhanced proinflammatory responses. Our discoveries explain the causative effect of dysfunctional Ncf1 and pathogenicity of pDCs in lupus.

TLR-mediated type I IFN induction in pDCs requires the rapamycin-sensitive PI3K-mTOR-p70S6K pathway

Project description:Robust type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) production in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) is critical for anti-viral immunity. Here we demonstrated a role for the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in regulating interferon production by pDCs. Inhibition of mTOR or the ‘downstream’ mediators of mTOR p70S6K1,2 kinases during pDC activation via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) blocked the interaction of TLR9 with the adaptor MyD88 and the subsequent activation of interferon response factor 7 (IRF7), resulting in impaired IFN-alpha production. Microarray analysis confirmed that inhibition of mTOR by the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin suppressed anti-viral and anti-inflammatory gene expression. Consistent with this, targeting rapamycin-encapsulated microparticles to antigen-presenting cells in vivo resulted in a diminution of IFN-alpha production in response to CpG DNA or the yellow fever vaccine virus strain 17D. Thus, mTOR signaling plays a critical role in TLR-mediated IFN-alpha responses by pDCs. CpGA is a TLR9 agonist. pDCs were isolated from mouse spleen or human PBMC. The effect of rapamycin on pDCs IFN-alpha production as induced by TLR ligands was studied. The mechanism of rapamycin effect was dissected in RAW cell line.

Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Regulates TLR9 but not TLR7 Signaling in Human pDCs

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) can be activated by the endosomal TLRs, and contribute to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by producing type I IFNs. Thus, blocking TLR-mediated pDC activation may represent a useful approach for the treatment of SLE. In an attempt to identify a therapeutic target for blocking TLR signaling in pDCs, we investigated the contribution of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) to the activation of pDCs by TLR7 and TLR9 stimulation by using a selective Btk inhibitor RN486. Stimulation of TLR7 and 9 with their respective agonist, namely, gardiquimod and type A CpG ODN2216, resulted in the activation of human pDCs, as demonstrated by the expression of activation markers (CD69, CD40, and CD86), elevated production of IFN-alpha and other inflammatory cytokines, as well as up-regulation of numerous genes including IFN-alpha-inducible genes and activation of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) and NF-kB. RN486 inhibited all of these events induced by TLR9, but not TLR7 stimulation, with a nanomolar potency for inhibiting type A CpG ODN2216-mediated production of cytokines (e.g., IC50=386 nM for inhibiting IFN-alpha). Our data reveal Btk as an important regulatory enzyme in the TLR9 pathway, and a potential therapeutic target for SLE and other TLR-driven diseases. pDCs from healthy donors (n=4) were treated with gardiquimod (TLR7 agonist) or ODN 2216 (TLR9 agonist) with or without BTK inhibitor for 3 hours.

Presenilin deficiency results in cellular cholesterol accumulation by impairment of protein glycosylation and NPC1 function.

Project description:Presenilin (PS) proteins represent the catalytic subunits of γ-secretase, and play a critical role in the generation of the Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Indeed, mutations in presenilin 1 (PS1) or PS2 are a major cause of early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). However, PS proteins also exert multiple functions beyond Aβ generation. In this study, we examine the individual roles of PS1 and PS2 in cellular cholesterol metabolism. Deletion of PS1 or PS2 in mouse models led to cholesterol accumulation in cerebral neurons. Cholesterol accumulation was also observed in lysosomes of embryonic fibroblasts from PS1-KO and PS2-KO mice, and associated with decreased expression of the Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) protein involved in intracellular cholesterol transport at late endosome/lysosome. Mass spectrometry and complementary biochemical methods also revealed abnormal N-glycosylation of NPC1 and several other membrane proteins in PS1-KO and PS2-KO cells. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of N-glycosylation resulted in intracellular cholesterol accumulation prominently in lysosomes as well as decrease of NPC1 expression in wild-type MEFs, thereby resembling the changes in PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs. In turn, treatment of PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs with a chaperone inducer, Arimoclomol, attenuated decrease of NPC1 and rescued the lysosomal cholesterol accumulation. Additionally, the intracellular cholesterol accumulation in PS1-KO and PS2-KO MEFs was prevented by NPC1 overexpression. Collectively, these data indicate that PS/γ-secretase dysfunction results in an impairment of protein N-glycosylation, which eventually causes NPC1 decrease and intracellular cholesterol accumulation. 3'RNASeq of mouse embryonic fibroblasts with PS1- or PS2-deficiency compared with controls.
