The aging of the population is a major social problem facing our country and the world at present.
With the increase of age, the normal body will show an aging state, and the aging of the immune system is one of the prominent and important problems, and it is also prone to chronic chronic diseases in elderly individuals.
An important cause of inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
T cell-mediated adaptive immunity is the key driving force for the body to induce autoimmune inflammation.
Although thymus atrophy caused by aging will reduce the initial T cell output, the number of peripheral T cells in the elderly does not decrease.
The reason is Since peripheral T cells undergo steady-state proliferation and activation in the state of aging, however, the specific regulatory mechanism by which senescence induces steady-state proliferation of T cells and promotes the occurrence and development of autoimmune inflammation is unclear.
On March 4, 2021, Xiao Yichuan's group from Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zheng Mingyue's group from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a titled Cytoplasmic DNA sensing by KU complex in aged CD4+ in Immunity.
T cell potentiates T cell activation and aging-related autoimmune inflammation research papers.
This study reveals that KU complex mediates DNA perception in CD4+ T cells, which in turn mediates the regulatory mechanism of aging-related autoimmune diseases.
In this study, the research team found that there is a large accumulation of DNA in the cytoplasm of CD4+ T cells in old mice and humans, and this accumulated DNA will promote the proliferation and activation of CD4+ T cells induced by TCR, indicating that T cells Oneself will promote its function activation through DNA perception.
Next, the research team used mass spectrometry combined with Western blotting to screen for proteins that bind to cytoplasmic DNA in T cells, and found that the DNA in T cells does not bind to cGAS, but to the KU complex.
If the small molecule inhibitor STL127705 is used to block the binding of KU complex to DNA, it will significantly inhibit the proliferation and activation of CD4+ T cells induced by DNA, thereby alleviating the occurrence and development of autoimmune inflammation in old mice, indicating that DNA induction The activation of T cell function is indeed mediated by the KU complex sensing DNA.
Further studies have found that the KU complex is expressed in large amounts in the cytoplasm of T cells.
After recognizing DNA in CD4+ T cells, it can promote the phosphorylation and activation of DNA-PKcs, which in turn mediates the phosphorylation of T169 of ZAK and activates ZAK.
Then phosphorylate AKT to activate the downstream mTOR pathway, thereby enhancing the proliferation and activation of CD4+ T cells.
Therefore, the activation of the DNA sensing pathway mediated by the KU complex in CD4+ T cells is a key mechanism leading to the occurrence and development of autoimmune inflammation in aged mice.
In order to explore therapeutic strategies to interfere with this newly discovered DNA sensing pathway to suppress aging-related autoimmune inflammation, the researchers used calorie restriction (CR) or simulated intermittent feeding (FMD) to treat elderly mice and found these two dieting patterns Can significantly reduce the DNA damage and cytoplasmic DNA accumulation of CD4+ T cells in old mice, thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation of ZAK-T169 and the activation of downstream AKT/mTOR signals, and finally inhibiting the activation of CD4+ T cells and aging-related Symptoms of autoimmune disease.
Furthermore, based on the key protein kinase ZAK identified in the DNA sensing pathway, the researchers used deep learning combined with molecular simulation to screen from approximately 130,000 compound libraries to obtain a small molecule compound iZAK2 that can specifically inhibit the activity of ZAK kinase.
It is found that iZAK2 can effectively inhibit DNA-induced CD4+ T cell proliferation and activation, thereby alleviating the pathological symptoms of autoimmune diseases in elderly mice.
DNA sensing in aging CD4+ T cells promotes its activation and autoimmune inflammation.
In summary, this study reveals that cGAS/STING-independent DNA sensing signaling pathways in aging CD4+ T cells can promote the activation and proliferation of T cells.
And lead to the occurrence and development of aging-related autoimmune diseases.Further research and development of inhibitors that block DNA sensing signal transduction in T cells may be beneficial to clinical treatment of aging-related autoimmune diseases.
It is reported that Wang Yan, a doctoral student at the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the first author of the paper, and researcher Xiao Yichuan and researcher Zheng Mingyue are the co-corresponding authors.
