Project description:Aging promotes numerous intracellular changes in T cells that impact their effector function. Our data shows that aging promotes an increase in localization of STAT3 to the mitochondria (mitoSTAT3), which promotes changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function and has a mechanistic link to T cell cytokine production. More specifically, mitoSTAT3 increased activity of aging T cell mitochondria due to STAT3’s effect on complex II. Limiting mitoSTAT3 using a mitochondria targeted curcuminoid, Mtcur-1, lowered complex II activity, prevented age-induced changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function, and reduced proinflammatory Th17 inflammation. Exogenous expression of the constitutively phosphorylated form of STAT3 in T cells from young adults mimicked changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function in T cells from older adults and partially recapitulated aging-induced cytokine profiles. Our data shows the mechanistic link among mitoSTAT3, mitochondrial dynamics,function and T cell cytokine production.

Project description:Aging promotes numerous intracellular changes in T cells that impact their effector function. Our data show that aging promotes an increase in the localization of STAT3 to the mitochondria (mitoSTAT3), which promotes changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function and T-cell cytokine production. Mechanistically, mitoSTAT3 increased the activity of aging T-cell mitochondria by increasing complex II. Limiting mitoSTAT3 using a mitochondria-targeted STAT3 inhibitor, Mtcur-1 lowered complex II activity, prevented age-induced changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function, and reduced Th17 inflammation. Exogenous expression of a constitutively phosphorylated form of STAT3 in T cells from young adults mimicked changes in mitochondrial dynamics and function in T cells from older adults and partially recapitulated aging-related cytokine profiles. Our data show the mechanistic link among mitoSTAT3, mitochondrial dynamics, function, and T-cell cytokine production.

Project description:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a type 1 cytokine essential for immune cell differentiation and function. Although IL-21 can activate several STAT family transcription factors, previous studies focused mainly on the role of STAT3 in IL-21 signaling. Here, we investigated the role of STAT1 and show that STAT1 and STAT3 have at least partially opposing roles in IL-21 signaling in CD4+ T cells. IL-21 induced STAT1 phosphorylation, and this was augmented in Stat3-deficient CD4+ T cells. RNA-Seq analysis of CD4+ T cells from Stat1- and Stat3-deficient mice revealed that both STAT1 and STAT3 are critical for IL-21-mediated gene regulation. Expression of some genes, including Tbx21 and Ifng, was differentially regulated by STAT1 and STAT3, and interestingly, ChIP-Seq analysis showed that STAT3 binding at Tbx21 and Ifng loci was attenuated in Stat1-deficient cells. Moreover, opposing actions of STAT1 and STAT3 on IFN- expression in CD4+ T cells were demonstrated in vivo during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV) infection. Finally, IL-21-mediated induction of STAT1 phosphorylation, as well as IFNG and TBX21 expression, were higher in CD4+ T cells from patients with autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES), which is caused by STAT3 deficiency. These data indicate an interplay between STAT1 and STAT3 in fine-tuning IL-21 actions. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of STAT3 in mouse CD4+ T cells in both WT and Stat1-deficient mice. RNA-Seq is performed in mouse CD4+ T cells in WT, Stat1-deficient and Stat3-deficient mice.

Project description:Naïve and activated T-cells has a different response to antigenic challenge. We examine whether a cytokine like IL-6 induces different responses through the Jak-STAT pathway to affect the functional characteristics of a given CD4 T‑cell subset. We isolated naïve and effector memory (Tem) CD4 T-cells to investigated STAT1 and STAT3 binding after 1-hour treatment with 20ng/ml IL-6 in the presence of anti-CD3/CD28.

Project description:Purpose: Recently discovered activating Interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta (IL6ST, encoding glycoprotein 130 (gp130)) mutations, as well as germline Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gain-of-function mutations are associated with multi-organ autoimmunity, severe morbidity, and adverse prognosis, resulting in an unmet medical need. Methods: To decipher the crucial cellular subsets and disease biology associated with STAT3 gain-of-function mutations, we examined the gene expression profile of STAT3 gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations in unstimulated, IL10- or IL21-stimulated CD4 T cells and compared them to healthy donor cells. Results: Activating gp130 signaling in vivo resulted in fatal early-onset multi-organ autoimmunity, resembling numerous clinical features of human STAT3 gain-of-function disease. We observed strong T-cell activation and effector differentiation, accompanied by TH17 expansion and interferon-gamma production. Transcriptome profiling of murine CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells revealed commonly dysregulated genes and a STAT3 gain-of-function signature that was used to discriminate between STAT3 gain-of-function and healthy control patients. Conclusions: Hyperactive gp130/STAT3 signaling leads to strong TH17-mediated autoimmunity phenotypically resembling human STAT3 gain-of-function disease and identify TH17-cells as a key cellular subset for initiation and maintenance of autoimmunity

Project description:Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is involved in both aging and circadian-clock regulation, yet the link between the two processes in relation to SIRT1 function is not clear. Using Sirt1-deficient mice, we found that Sirt1 and Period 2 (Per2) constitute a reciprocal negative regulation loop that plays important roles in modulating hepatic circadian rhythmicity and aging. Sirt1-deficient mice exhibited profound premature aging and enhanced acetylation of histone H4 on lysine16 (H4K16) in the promoter of Per2, the latter of which leads to its overexpression; in turn, Per2 suppresses Sirt1 transcription through binding to the Sirt1 promoter at the Clock/Bmal1 site. This negative reciprocal relationship between SIRT1 and PER2 was also observed in human hepatocytes. We further demonstrated that the absence of Sirt1 or the ectopic overexpression of Per2 in the liver resulted in a dysregulated pace of the circadian rhythm. The similar circadian rhythm was also observed in aged wild type mice. The interplay between Sirt1 and Per2 modulates aging gene expression and circadian-clock maintenance. To investigate hepatic SIRT1-dependent aging related genes, livers from wild type mice at 3 months (young), 12 months (middle age), and 19 months (old) of age, as well as Sirt1-deficient mice at 3 months of age were snap frozen and subject to RNA isolation and microarray analysis.

Project description:STAT3, an essential transcription factor with pleiotropic functions, plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Despite recent data linking STAT3 with inflammatory bowel disease, exactly how it contributes to chronic intestinal inflammation is not known. Using a T cell transfer model of colitis we found that STAT3 expression in T cells was essential for the induction of both colitis and systemic inflammation. STAT3 was critical in modulating the balance of T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T (Treg) cells, as well as in promoting CD4+ T cell proliferation. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to define the genome-wide targets of STAT3 in CD4+ T cells. We found that STAT3 bound to multiple genes involved in Th17 cell differentiation, cell activation, proliferation and survival, regulating both expression and epigenetic modifications. Thus, STAT3 orchestrates multiple critical aspects of T cell function in inflammation and homeostasis. WT and STAT3-deficient CD4+ T cells were activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, in the presence of cytokines (interleukin (IL)-6 and TGFb) or medium alone for three days. RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarray chips.
