Regulation of natural killer T-cell development by deubiquitinase CYLD.

چکیده
Natural killer T (NKT) cells modulate immune responses against pathogens and tumours, as well as immunological tolerance. We show here that CYLD, a tumour suppressor with deubiquitinase function, has a pivotal and cell-intrinsic function in NKT cell development. Unlike other known NKT regulators, CYLD is dispensable for intrathymic NKT cell maturation but is obligatory for the survival of immature NKT cells. Interestingly, CYLD deficiency impairs the expression of ICOS, a costimulatory molecule required for the survival and homeostasis of NKT cells, and this molecular defect is associated with attenuated response to an NKT-survival cytokine, IL-7, due to reduced expression of IL-7 receptor. We show, for the first time, that IL-7 induces the expression of ICOS in NKT cells, which is largely dependent on CYLD. Interestingly, loss of CYLD causes constitutive NF-kappaB activation in developing NKT cells, which contributes to their defective IL-7 response and attenuated ICOS expression. These findings establish CYLD as a critical regulator of NKT cell development and provide molecular insights into this novel function of CYLD.

Epigenetic control of natural killer cell maturation by histone H2A deubiquitinase, MYSM1.
Histone modifications play critical roles in regulating immunity; however, little is known about the epigenetic control of natural killer (NK) cell development. Here, we found that NK cell development is severely impaired in mice deficient in the histone H2A deubiquitinase MYSM1. We demonstrated that MYSM1 is required for NK cell maturation but not for NK lineage specification and commitment. W...
متن کاملMicroRNA transcriptomes of distinct human NK cell populations identify miR-362-5p as an essential regulator of NK cell function
Natural killer (NK) cells are critical effectors in the immune response against malignancy and infection, and microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in NK cell biology. Here we examined miRNA profiles of human NK cells from different cell compartments (peripheral blood, cord blood, and uterine deciduas) and of NKT and T cells from peripheral blood, and we identified a novel miRNA, miR-362-5p, ...
متن کاملThe tumour suppressor CYLD regulates the p53 DNA damage response
The tumour suppressor CYLD is a deubiquitinase previously shown to inhibit NF-κB, MAP kinase and Wnt signalling. However, the tumour suppressing mechanisms of CYLD remain poorly understood. Here we show that loss of CYLD catalytic activity causes impaired DNA damage-induced p53 stabilization and activation in epithelial cells and sensitizes mice to chemical carcinogen-induced intestinal and ski...
متن کاملUVB radiation represses CYLD expression in melanocytes
CYLD lysine 63 deubiquitinase (CYLD) was originally identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in familial cylindromatosis. Unlike in cylindromatosis, downregulation of the deubiquitinase CYLD in melanoma, a highly aggressive tumor, is not caused by mutations in the CYLD gene, but rather by a constitutive and high expression of the snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAIL1). A redu...
متن کاملmiR-197-3p-induced downregulation of lysine 63 deubiquitinase promotes cell proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common cause of cancer-associated mortality. The dysregulation of microRNA (miR) expression has been reported to induce lung carcinogenesis. In the present study, miR‑197‑3p upregulation was detected within LUAD tissues compared with in adjacent noncancerous tissues. The suppression of miR‑197‑3p expression was confirmed to inhibit proliferative ability and induc...
