Project description:Differentiation blockage can cause expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) with ageing. Cell polarity loss (apolarity) in old stem or progenitor cells prevents their differentiation; but whether and how cell polarity is lost in old MDSCs, subsequently affecting their mature differentiation remains elusive. Here, we show that TNFR2 upregulation in old MDSCs triggers JNK over-activation, resulting in apolarity, differentiation blockage, and expansion of MDSCs with ageing. We find that TNFR2 expression in MDSCs can be induced by pro-inflammatory factors of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and Tnfr2 deficiency in old mice significantly attenuates MDSCs’ differentiation blockage. Elevating TNFR2 expression in young MDSCs can induce apolarity and impair their differentiation; whereas suppressing JNK activity in old MDSCs can partially reverse their polarity and restore their differentiation capability. Therefore, TNFR2 aberrant upregulation represents a general mechanism by which extrinsic SASP signals dysregulate intrinsic cell polarity behaviors to arrest MDSCs’ mature differentiation during ageing.

Project description:The pediatric immune deficiency X-linked proliferative disease-2 (XLP-2) is a unique disease, with patients presenting with either hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) or intestinal bowel disease (IBD). Interestingly, XLP-2 patients display high levels of IL-18 in the serum even while in stable condition, presumably through spontaneous inflammasome activation. Recent data suggests that LPS stimulation can trigger inflammasome activation through a TNFR2/TNF/TNFR1 mediated loop in xiap−/− macrophages. Yet, the direct role TNFR2-specific activation plays in the absence of XIAP is unknown. We found TNFR2-specific activation leads to cell death in xiap−/− myeloid cells, particularly in the absence of the RING domain. RIPK1 kinase activity downstream of TNFR2 resulted in a TNF/TNFR1 cell death, independent of necroptosis. TNFR2-specific activation leads to a similar inflammatory NF-kB driven transcriptional profile as TNFR1 activation with the exception of upregulation of NLRP3 and caspase-11. Activation and upregulation of the canonical inflammasome upon loss of XIAP was mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production. While both the inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production reduced cell death, as well as release of IL-1β, the release of IL-18 was not reduced to basal levels. This study supports targeting TNFR2 specifically to reduce IL-18 release in XLP-2 patients and to reduce priming of the inflammasome components.

Project description:PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to determine the gene expression networks regulated by tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2, or Tnfrsf1b) and to evaluate their potential bearing on immune cell subsets and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: mRNA-seq was performed on isolated distal colons from TNFR2-knockout and wildtype mice. Differentially expressed transcripts were compared to human ulcerative colitis microarray datasets on Gene Expression Omnibus and to mouse immunological expression datasets at the Immunological Genome Project. RESULTS: We identified 252 mouse transcripts whose expressions were significantly altered by the loss of TNFR2. The majority of these transcripts (228 of 252, ~90%) were downregulated in TNFR2-/- colons. TNFR2-regulated genes were able to positively discriminate between ulcerative colitis patients and healthy individuals with ~80% accuracy. Many TNFR2-regulated genes were also highly expressed in CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS: Downregulation of TNFR2 is associated with a gene expression profile that is prominent in IBD and supportive of the role of CD8+ T cells in IBD pathogenesis. MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACT: Increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and anti-TNF therapy is a common therapeutic for this patient population. However, the role of TNF or its receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) in the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. Here we report that TNFR2 is protective in spontaneous (IL-10 knockout) and chemically (azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate)-induced mouse models of colitis and colitis-associated cancer. Mechanistically, TNFR2-deficiency in hematopoietic cells significantly increased incidence and severity of colitis and colitis-associated cancer characterized by a selective expansion of CD8+ T cells. We identified TNFR2-regulated genes in the colon that were specific for CD8+ T cells, interacted with multiple IBD risk genes, and are important regulators of CD8+ T cell biology. TNFR2 regulated CD8+ T-cell-specific genes that act as genetic susceptibility modifiers for IBD to mitigate the development of a pro-colitogenic milieu. Antibody-mediated depletion of CD8+ T cells prevented colonic inflammation and significantly reduced pathology in IL10-/-/TNFR2-/- deficient mice. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of TNFR2-/- naïve CD8+ T cells resulted in more severe disease than with wildtype naïve CD8+ T cells. Our findings provide insight into the disease modifier role of TNFR2 in the immunopathogenesis of IBD through the modulation of CD8+ T cell responses and support future investigation of this therapeutic target, especially in the subset of IBD patients with CD8+ T-cell dysfunction. Total RNA from distal colons of 8 week-old male wildtype C57Bl/6 and TNFR2-/- mice (n=3 each) was isolated using the PureLink RNA kit (Ambion, Life Technologies). RNA samples were submitted to the Genomic Services Lab at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology (Huntsville, AL) for multiplex library preparation, mRNA enrichment, and sequencing. Sequencing was performed to an average depth of 50M paired-end 50bp reads per sample (HiSeq, Illumina, San Diego, CA). Data files containing raw reads were aligned to the mouse genome using Tophat2/Bowtie2. Alignments were assembled into transcript representations with Cufflinks, and statistical tests for differential expression were performed with Cuffdiff 2. An adjusted P value < 0.05 (q<0.05) from the Cuffdiff 2 output was used as the cutoff for statistical significance.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are predominant innate lymphocytes that provide the early response during infection. NK cells undergo metabolic switch to fuel augmented proliferation and activation following infection. TNFα is a well-known inammatory cytokine that enhances NK cell function, however, a mechanism for stimulation is not well established. Here, we demonstrated that upon infection/inammation, NK cells upregulate the expression of TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2), which is associated with increased proliferation, metabolic activity and effector function. Notably, IL-18 can induce TNFR2 on NK cells, augmenting their sensitivity towards TNFα. Mechanistically, TNFα-TNFR2 signaling induces CD25 (IL-2Rα) expression on NK cells predominantly by autocrine mode, leading to a metabolic switch towards aerobic glycolysis. Accordingly, genetic ablation of TNFR2 curtails the CD25 upregulation and TNFα-induced glycolysis, leading to impaired NK cell proliferation during MCMV infection in vivo. Collectively, our results delineate the crucial role of the TNFα-TNFR2 axis in NK cells for proliferation, glycolysis, and effector function via CD25 induction.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2), a membrane-bound tumor necrosis factor receptor expressed by regulatory T cells (Tregs), participates in Treg proliferation. Although a specific TNFR2 pathway has been reported, the signaling mechanism has not been completely elucidated. This study sought to clarify TNFR2 signaling in human Tregs using amplicon sequencing and single-cell RNA-sequencing to assess Tregs treated with a TNFR2 agonist antibody. Pathway enrichment analysis based on differentially expressed genes highlighted tumor necrosis factor α signaling via nuclear factor-kappa B, interleukin-2 signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 signaling, interferon-γ response, and cell proliferation-related pathways in Tregs after TNFR2 activation. TNFR2-high Treg-focused analysis found that these pathways were fully activated in cancer Tregs, showing high TNFR2 expression. Collectively, these findings suggest that TNFR2 orchestrates multiple pathways in cancer Tregs, which could help cancer cells escape immune surveillance, making TNFR2 signaling a potential anticancer therapy target.

Project description:Colonic epithelial repair is a key determinant of health. After injury, repair initiates through phenotypic reprogramming of wounded epithelium to a regenerative state permissive for the activation of alternative stem cell populations and healing. Although cytokine signals such as interferons may help induce regenerative reprogramming, the signals that modify this state as the wound resolves remain largely unknown. Here we examined whether cytokine signaling mediated by tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2) influenced the wound repair process. We examined mice with targeted deletion of the Tnfrsf1b (TNFR2) gene in intestinal/colonic epithelium (Vil1::Cre;Tnfr2-f/f) and compared their transcriptional profiles to control (Tnfr2-f/f) mice. We sorted EpCAM+ (epithelial) cells from Vil1::Cre;Tnfr2-f/f and control DSS-treated mice and performed bulk RNA-Seq. Comparison of transcript expression profile before and after DSS-induced colitis in control (Tnfr2-f/f) mice revealed upregulation of pathways associated with metabolic regulation, ribosomal function, oxidative stress, TNF signaling, and focal adhesions after DSS treatment. Pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated elevated regenerative (“fetal”) intestinal signaling, reduced inflammation, and increased proliferative signaling in Vil1::Cre;Tnfr2-f/f colonic epithelium after DSS treatment. The knockout epithelium also showed reduced expression of markers of differentiated colonic epithelium and elevated expression of progenitor cell signaling. Thus, the transcriptional data were consistent with increased regenerative signaling in TNFR2-knockout epithelium, suggesting that TNFR2 has a role in restraining the relatively undifferentiated regenerative state.

Project description:Objectives: TNF-induced activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) is a critical determinant for synovial inflammation and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The detrimental role of TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1) has thoroughly been characterized. The contributions of TNFR2, however, are largely unknown. This study was performed to delineate the role of TNFR2 in human FLS activation. Methods: TNFR2 expression in synovial tissue samples was determined by immunohistochemistry. Expression of TNFR2 was silenced using RNAi or CRISPR/Cas9 technologies. Global transcriptional changes were determined by RNA-seq. QPCR, ELISA and immunoblotting were used to validate RNA-seq results and to uncover pathways operating downstream of TNFR2 in FLS. Results. TNFR2 expression was increased in RA when compared to OA synovial tissues. In particular, RA-FLS demonstrated higher levels of TNFR2 when compared to OA-FLS. TNFR2 expression in RA-FLS correlated with RA disease activity, synovial T- and B-cell infiltration. TNF and IL1 were identified as inflammatory mediators that upregulate TNFR2 in RA-FLS. Silencing of TNFR2 in RA-FLS markedly diminished the TNF-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including CXCR3-binding chemokines and the B-cell activating factor TNFSF13B. Immunobiochemical analyses revealed that TNFR2-mediated expression of inflammatory mediators critically depends on STAT1. Conclusion: Our results define a critical role for TNFR2 in FLS-driven inflammation and unfold its participation in the unresolved course of synovial inflammation in RA.

Project description:This study aimed to explore the characteristics and role of TNFR2+ Tregs in the microenvironment and progression of gastric cancer by single-cell RNA sequencing.We obtained Tregs from tumor tissues and peripheral blood of three GC patients.Through single-cell RNA sequencing, we found tumor-infiltrating Tregs express high levels of TNFR2. The TNF-a/TNFR2 signaling pathway is activated, accompanied by upregulation of costimulatory molecules. Compared to blood Tregs, tumor-infiltrating Tregs exhibit activated and effector states. In addition to expressing costimulatory molecules such as TNFR2, 4-1BB, OX40 and GITR, tumor-infiltrating Tregs are also characterized by high expression of immune checkpoints such as CTLA-4 and TIGIT and chemokines such as CCR6.This study revealed a high infiltration level of TNFR2+ Tregs with the characteristics of activated and effector Tregs in the tumor microenvironment. Our study provides a new theoretical basis for TNFR2+ Tregs as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer.
