Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 3 is an IFN-stimulated Gene that Facilitates Viral Genome Release

Project description:An increasing body of evidence emphasizes the role of metabolic reprogramming in immune cells to fight off infections. However, little is known about the regulation of metabolite transporters that facilitate and support metabolic demands. In this study, we found that the expression of Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 3 (ENT3, encoded by SoLute Carrier family 29 member 3, Slc29a3) is part of the innate immune response which is rapidly upregulated upon pathogen insults. The transcription of Slc29a3 is directly under the regulation of IFN-induced signaling, positioning this metabolite transporter as an Interferon-stimulated gene (ISG). Suprisingly, we unveil that several viruses, including SARS-CoV2, require ENT3 to facilitate their entry into the cytoplasm. The removal or suppression of ENT3 expression is sufficient to significantly decrease viral replication in vitro and in vivo. Our study reveals that ENT3 is a pro-viral ISG co-opted by some viruses for a survival advantage.

Adenosine uptake through equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 suppresses antitumor immunity by pyrimidine starvation

Project description:Immunosuppression by adenosine is an important cancer immune checkpoint. Extracellular adenosine signals through specific receptors and can be transported across the cell membrane through nucleoside transporters. While adenosine receptors are well-known to regulate tumor immunity, the impact of adenosine transporters remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the effect on tumor immunity of equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (ENT1), the major regulator of extracellular adenosine concentrations. Using selective inhibitors and gene targeting approaches, we demonstrated that blocking or deleting host ENT1 significantly enhanced CD8+ T cell-dependent anti-tumor responses. Tumors inoculated into ENT1-deficient mice showed increased infiltration of effector CD8+ T cells with an enhanced cytotoxic transcriptomic profile and significant upregulation of granzyme B, IFN-g, IL-2, TNF-a and CXCL10. ENT1-deficiency was further associated with decreased tumor-infiltrating T regulatory cells and CD206high macrophages, and suppressed CCL17 production. ENT1-deficiency notably potentiated the therapeutic activity of PD-1 blockade. T cells upregulated ENT1 upon activation, and blocking ENT1 enhanced their function when co-cultured with cognate antigen/HLA-matched melanoma cells. Mechanistically, ENT1-mediated adenosine uptake inhibited the activity of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRPS) in activated T cells, thereby suppressing production of uridine 5′-monophosphate (UMP) and its derivatives required for DNA and RNA synthesis. In summary, our study identified ENT1-mediated adenosine uptake as an important and previously unappreciated mechanism of adenosine-mediated immunosuppression via pyrimidine starvation that can be targeted to enhance antitumor T cell responses.

Loss-of-function of the nucleoside transporter SLC29A3 drives ERK activation, establishing an alternative pathway for histiocytosis development

Project description:Histiocytoses are inflammatory myeloid neoplasms, driven by somatic activating mutations in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) genes. H syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by germline loss-of-function mutations in SLC29A3, encoding the lysosomal equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3). Patients with H syndrome are predisposed to develop histiocytosis, yet the mechanism is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that loss-of-function of ENT3 leads to MAPK signaling activation, via the nucleoside sensor Toll-like receptor (TLR). We show that H syndrome monocytes exhibit an inflammatory expression pattern, display elevated levels of phospho-ERK, and secrete enhanced amounts of inflammatory cytokines in a TLR8/MEK-dependent manner. Finally, MEK inhibitor therapy successfully eliminated a histiocytic tumor of a patient with H syndrome. These results demonstrate a yet-unrecognized link between a defect in a lysosomal transporter and pathological activation of MAPK signaling, a novel alternative pathway to histiocytosis development, and establish MEK inhibition as a promising new treatment for H syndrome.

IFN-stimulated Metabolite Transporter ENT3 Facilitates Viral Genome Release

Project description:An increasing amount of evidence emphasizes the role of metabolic reprogramming in immune cells to fight infections. However, little is known about the regulation of metabolite transporters that facilitate and support metabolic demands. In this study, we found that the expression of Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 3 (ENT3, encoded by Solute carrier family 29 member 3, Slc29a3) is part of the innate immune response, which is rapidly upregulated upon pathogen invasion. The transcription of Slc29a3 is directly regulated by type I interferon-induced signaling, demonstrating that this metabolite transporter is an Interferon-stimulated gene (ISG). Suprisingly, we unveil that several viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, require ENT3 to facilitate their entry into the cytoplasm. The removal or suppression of Slc29a3 expression is sufficient to significantly decrease viral replication in vitro and in vivo. Our study reveals that ENT3 is a pro-viral ISG co-opted by some viruses to gain a survival advantage.

KBM7 genetrap mutant cells stimulated with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma

Project description:Transcriptional response of KBM7 cells to IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha was investigated in control or cells with genetrap insertions in JAK2 or TNFRS1A, respectively. The experiment shows that, as expected, cells lacking JAK2 or TNFRS1A expression display a severly blunted response to the tested cytokines. KBM7 genetrap mutant cells stimulated with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma Sample WT_1 corresponds with the control sample for the IFN-gamma stimulation; Sample WT_2 corresponds with the control sample for the TNF-alpha stimulation. As the expected differences between the samples was large, only single replicates were performed for each condition
