Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are important for the prevention of autoimmunity and lately, their role in maintaining tissue homeostasis has been demonstrated. They exert their function via different suppressive mechanisms including soluble factors. Here, we show that Treg-cell specific expression of hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD), which catabolizes prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) into 15-keto PGE2, enforces a new suppressive mode of action through accumulation of the PPAR-γ ligand 15-keto PGE2. PPAR-γ-dependent HPGD expression acts as the critical molecular link between prostaglandin metabolism, adipose tissue (AT)-associated Treg-cell function, and maintenance of AT homeostasis. In mice, loss of HPGD results in increased numbers of functionally impaired Treg cells accumulating in visceral adipose tissue resulting in increased local inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. This observation is recapitulated in humans with type 2 diabetes. These data support HPGD as a novel tissue- and context-dependent suppressor mechanism by Treg cells to maintain adipose tissue homeostasis.

Project description:The IRE1α-XBP1 arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, but also controls UPR-independent processes such as cytokine production and lipid metabolism. Yet, the physiological consequences of IRE1α-XBP1 activation in immune cells remain largely unexplored. Here, we report that leukocyte-intrinsic IRE1α-XBP1 signaling drives prostaglandin biosynthesis and pain. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that induction of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2/Cox-2) and prostaglandin E synthase (Ptges/mPGES-1) was compromised in IRE1α-deficient myeloid cells undergoing ER stress or stimulated via pattern recognition receptors. Inducible biosynthesis of prostaglandins, including PGE2, was markedly decreased in myeloid cells lacking IRE1α or XBP1, but not altered in the absence of the two other ER stress sensors PERK and ATF6. Mechanistically, IRE1α-activated XBP1 bound to and directly induced the expression of human PTGS2 and PTGES to enable PGE2 generation. Mice selectively lacking IRE1α-XBP1 in leukocytes, or treated with pharmacological IRE1α inhibitors, failed to induce PGE2 upon challenge with inflammatory stimuli and demonstrated reduced behavioral pain responses in PGE2-dependent models of pain. Our study uncovers an unexpected role for IRE1α-XBP1 as a key mediator of prostaglandin biosynthesis and indicates that targeting this pathway may represent an alternative approach to control pain.

Project description:Enolase 1 (ENO1) is a glycolytic enzyme that plays essential roles in various pathological activities including cancer development. However, the mechanisms underlying ENO1-contributed tumorigenesis are not well explained. Here, we uncover that ENO1, as an RNA-binding protein, binds to the cytosine-uracil-guanine-rich elements of YAP1 messenger RNA to promote its translation. ENO1 and YAP1 positively regulate alternative arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism by inverse regulation of PLCB1 and HPGD (15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase). The YAP1/PLCB1/HPGD axis-mediated activation of AA metabolism and subsequent accumulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are responsible for ENO1-mediated cancer progression, which can be retarded by aspirin. Finally, aberrant activation of ENO1/YAP1/PLCB1 and decreased HPGD expression in clinical hepatocellular carcinoma samples indicate a potential correlation between ENO1-regulated AA metabolism and cancer development. These findings underline a new function of ENO1 in regulating AA metabolism and tumorigenesis, suggesting a therapeutic potential for aspirin in patients with liver cancer with aberrant expression of ENO1 or YAP1.

Project description:Tumour immune escape is a major factor contributing to cancer progression and unresponsiveness to cancer therapies. Tumours can produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an inflammatory mediator that directly acts on NK cells to inhibit anti-tumour immunity. However, it is unclear precisely how PGE2 influences NK cell tumour-restraining functions. Here, we investigated how treatment with PGE2 over 24 hours affects gene expression in human NK cells.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) include immature monocytic (M-MDSC) and granulocytic (PMN-MDSC) cells that share the ability to suppress adaptive immunity and hinder the effectiveness of anti-cancer treatments. Of note, in response to interferon-γ (IFNγ) M-MDSC release the tumor-promoting and immunosuppressive molecule nitric oxide (NO), whereas macrophages largely express anti-tumor properties. Investigating these opposing activities, we found that tumor-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induces nuclear accumulation of p50 NF-κB in M-MDSC, diverting their response to IFNγ towards NO-mediated immunosuppression and reducing TNFα expression. At the genome level, p50 NF-κB promoted binding of STAT1 to regulatory regions of selected IFNγ-dependent genes, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (Nos2). In agreement, ablation of p50 as well as pharmacological inhibition of either the PGE2 receptor EP2 or NO production reprogrammed M-MDSC towards a NOS2low/TNFαhigh phenotype, restoring the in vivo antitumor activity of IFNγ. Our results indicate that inhibition of the PGE2/p50/NO axis prevents MDSC suppressive functions and restores the efficacy of anticancer immunotherapy.

Project description:We report a novel licensing strategy to improve the immunosuppressive capacity of MSCs. Licensing murine MSCs with TGF-β1 (TGF-β MSC) significantly improved their ability to modulate both the phenotype and secretome of inflammatory bone marrow-derived macrophages and significantly increased the numbers of regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) following co-culture assays. These TGF-β MSC-expanded Tregs also expressed significantly higher levels of PD-L1 and CD73, indicating enhanced suppressive potential. Detailed analysis of T lymphocyte co-cultures revealed modulation of secreted factors, most notably, elevated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Furthermore, TGF-β MSCs could significantly prolong rejection-free survival (69.2% acceptance rate compared to 21.4% for un-licensed MSC treated recipients) in a murine corneal allograft model. Mechanistic studies revealed that (i) therapeutic efficacy of TGF-β MSCs is Smad2/3-dependent; (ii) TGF-β MSC’s enhanced immunosuppressive capacity is contact-dependent and (iii) enhanced secretion of PGE2 (via prostaglandin EP4 receptor) by TGF-β MSCs is the predominant mediator of Treg expansion and T cell activation and is associated with corneal allograft survival. Collectively, we provide compelling evidence for the use of TGF-β1 licensing as an unconventional strategy for enhancing MSC immunosuppressive capacity.

Project description:Severe asthma and sinus disease is a consequence of Type 2 inflammation (T2I), mediated by IL-33 signaling through its membrane-bound receptor, ST2. Soluble (s)ST2 reduces available IL-33 and limits T2I, but little is known about its regulation. We demonstrate that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) drives production of sST2 to limit features of lung T2I. PGE2 deficient mice display diminished sST2. In humans with severe respiratory T2I, urinary PGE2 metabolites correlate with serum sST2. In mice, PGE2 enhanced sST2 secretion by mast cells (MCs). Mice lacking MCs, ST2 expression by MCs or EP2 receptors by MCs showed reduced sST2 lung concentrations and strong T2I. Recombinant sST2 reduced T2I in mice lacking PGE2 or ST2 expression by MCs back to control levels. PGE2 deficiency also reversed the hyperinflammatory phenotype in mice lacking ST2 expression by MCs. PGE2 thus suppresses T2I through MC-derived sST2, explaining the severe T2I observed in low PGE2 states.
