    Abstract: Interleukin-9 (IL-9)-producing CD4 +T helper cells (Th9) have been implicated in allergy/asthma and anti-tumor immunity, yet molecular insights on their differentiation from activated T cells, driven by IL-4 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), is still lacking. Here we show opposing functions of two transcription factors, D-binding protein (DBP) and E2F8, in controlling Th9 differentiation. Specifically, TGF-β and IL-4 signaling induces phosphorylation of the serine 213 site in the linker region of the Smad3 (pSmad3L-Ser 213) via phosphorylated p38, which is necessary and sufficient for Il9 gene transcription. We identify DBP and E2F8 as an activator and repressor, respectively, for Il9 transcription by pSmad3L-Ser 213. Notably, Th9 cells with siRNA-mediated knockdown for Dbp or E2f8 promote and suppress tumor growth, respectively, in mouse tumor models. Importantly, DBP and E2F8 also exhibit opposing functions in regulating human TH9 differentiation in vitro. Thus, our data uncover a molecular mechanism of Smad3 linker region-mediated, opposing functions of DBP and E2F8 in Th9 differentiation.

    Abstract: Interferon-g (IFN-g) is a key cytokine in response to viral or intracellular bacterial infection in mammals. While a number of enhancers are described to promote IFN-g responses, no silencers for the Ifng gene have been identified. By examining H3K4me1 histone modification in naïve CD4 +T cells within Ifng locus, we identified an unrecognized silencer (CNS–28) that is responsible for restraining Ifng expression. Mechanistic study further demonstrates that CNS–28 maintains Ifng silence by diminishing enhancer-promoter interactions within Ifng locus in a T-bet independent manner. Functionally, CNS–28 restrains Ifng transcription in Th1, Tc1, and NK cells during both innate and adaptive immune responses. Moreover, CNS–28 deficiency resulted in repressed type 2 responses due to elevated IFN-g expression, shifting Th1 and Th2 paradigm. Thus, CNS–28 activity ensures immune cell quiescence by cooperating with other regulatory cis elements within the Ifng gene locus to minimize autoimmunity.

    Abstract: Intestinal mucus forms the first line of defense against bacterial invasion while providing nutrition to support microbial symbiosis. How the host controls mucus barrier integrity and commensalism is unclear. We show that terminal sialylation of glycans on intestinal mucus by ST6GALNAC1 (ST6), the dominant sialyltransferase specifically expressed in goblet cells and induced by microbial pathogen-associated molecular patterns, is essential for mucus integrity and protecting against excessive bacterial proteolytic degradation. Glycoproteomic profiling and biochemical analysis of ST6 mutations identified in patients show that decreased sialylation causes defective mucus proteins and congenital inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Mice harboring a patient ST6 mutation have compromised mucus barriers, dysbiosis, and susceptibility to intestinal inflammation. Based on our understanding of the ST6 regulatory network, we show that treatment with sialylated mucin or a Foxo3 inhibitor can ameliorate IBD.

    Abstract: The crosstalk between the immune and the neuroendocrine system is critical for intestinal homeostasis and gut-brain communications. However, it remains unclear how immune cells participate in gut sensation of hormones release in response to environmental cues, such as self and microbial lipids. We show here that lipid-mediated engagement of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells with enterochromaffin (EC) cells, a subset of intestinal epithelial cells, promotes peripheral serotonin (5-HT) release via a CD1d-dependent manner, regulating gut motility and hemostasis. CD1d ligation on EC cells transduces a reverse signal and restrains potassium conductance, leading to calcium influx and 5-HT secretion. Together, we show that by coupling with iNKT cells, gut chemosensory cells perceive lipid antigens via CD1d to calibrate 5-HT release, modulating intestinal and systemic physiology.

    Abstract: RORγt is a key transcription factor that controls the development and function of inflammatory Th17. The mechanisms that regulate RORγt stability remain unclear. We report that Th17 cells highly express the deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)4, which is essential for maintaining RORγt and Th17 cell function. Inhibition of the catalytic activity of USP4 with vialinin A, a compound derived from Chinese traditional medicine, dampened Th17 differentiation. USP4 interacted and deubiquitinated K48-linked polyubiquitination of RORγt, thereby promoting RORγt function and IL-17A transcription. Interestingly, TGF-β plus IL-6 enhanced USP4-mediated deubiquitination of RORγt. Moreover, USP4 and IL-17 mRNA, but not RORγt mRNA, were significantly elevated in CD4+ T cells from patients with rheumatic heart disease. Thus, USP4 could be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of Th17-modulated autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract: The gastrointestinal tract is known as the largest endocrine organ that encounters and integrates various immune stimulations and neuronal responses due to constant environmental challenges. Enterochromaffin (EC) cells, which function as chemosensors on the gut epithelium, are known to translate environmental cues into serotonin (5-HT) production, contributing to intestinal physiology. However, how immune signals participate in gut sensation and neuroendocrine response remains unclear. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) acts as an alarmin cytokine by alerting the system of potential environmental stresses. We here demonstrate that IL-33 induced instantaneous peristaltic movement and facilitated Trichuris muris expulsion. We found that IL-33 could be sensed by EC cells, inducing release of 5-HT. IL-33-mediated 5-HT release activated enteric neurons, subsequently promoting gut motility. Mechanistically, IL-33 triggered calcium influx via a non-canonical signaling pathway specifically in EC cells to induce 5-HT secretion. Our data establish an immune-neuroendocrine axis in calibrating rapid 5-HT release for intestinal homeostasis.

    Abstract: The oral cavity is a unique stricture; it combines mucosal and bone tissue microenvironments with their respective immunological responses. In fact, oral mucosal inflammation leads to bone destruction in the prevalent human disease, periodontitis. In periodontitis, immune cells, in particular Th17 and neutrophil mediated responses have been linked to pathogenesis, however it is not yet understood how the stromal tissue microenvironment may participate in disease pathology. To date, studies in humans reveal inflammatory signatures in oral mucosal stromal cells of periodontitis, linked to neutrophil recruitment. To understand fibroblast responses and function in periodontitis, we performed scRNA-seq in mouse oral mucosa during a time course in the experimental periodontitis model. We characterize an early responding fibroblast subpopulation with a distinct inflammatory signature, characterized by induction of the IL33- ST2 cytokine axis. We confirm induction of soluble ST2 in oral mucosal fibroblasts during periodontitis and uncover an immune-regulatory role for ST2 within the oral microenvironment. Our work highlights the nature of oral mucosal immune-responsiveness and provides insights into a common human disease. Supported by NIH intramural funding
