Here, we extend our prior work using chemical inhibitors to provide mechanistic insight into a novel regulator of Th17 differentiation, the kinase dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A). We generated a conditional knockout mouse model to validate DYRK1A as a regulator of Th17 differentiation that acts in a dose-dependent fashion at least in part by modulating interleukin (IL)-6 signaling through multiple mechanisms. We identified a new role for DYRK1A in regulating surface expression of IL-6 receptor subunits in naïve CD4+ T cells, consistent with DYRK1A's impact on Th17 differentiation. Physiologic relevance is supported by findings in people with Down syndrome, in which increased expression of DYRK1A, encoded on chromosome 21, is linked to increased IL-6 responsiveness. Our findings highlight DYRK1A as a druggable target of broad therapeutic and prognostic interest in autoimmunity and immune function.</p>","PeriodicalId":94037,"journal":{"name":"ImmunoHorizons","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11841973/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sequential actions of CD39 and CD73 accomplish the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to adenosine and shift the adenosine triphosphate-driven proinflammatory immune cell milieu toward an anti-inflammatory state. This immunological switch is a major mechanism by which regulatory T (Treg) cells control inflammation. Foxp3 engages in Treg development and function. Foxp3 mutations result in the scurfy (SF) mouse phenotype and a rapidly lethal lymphoproliferative syndrome. We generated double knockout (KO) mouse (CD73KOSF) by breeding heterozygous Foxp3sf/J females to CD73KO male mice to remove host CD73. We initially aimed to use these mice to identify a specific probiotic-CD73 effect, previously shown for Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938. We expected CD73 deletion to enhance the severity of autoimmunity in SF mice. However, we unexpectedly observed that KO of host CD73 in SF mice clinically reduced the severity of autoimmunity including reduced ear thickness, increased ear size, and less deformed ears, along with less dry and brittle skin. KO of CD73 in SF mice significantly reduced the numbers of CD4+ and CD8+T cells in spleen and blood. We identified that KO of CD73 in SF mice reduced the numbers of T cells in the thymus compared with those in SF mice, indicating that the milder clinical phenotype may be due to reduced central and peripheral lymphoproliferation.

Upon viral infection, pathogen-associated molecular patterns activate pattern recognition receptors on host cells, triggering an immune response.

The effects of the mouse functional DC-SIGN homolog CD209d/e on the lung immune responses during influenza viral infection are not known. Therefore, we generated mice that lack both CD209d and e isoforms to determine the role in influenza viral infection. We infected wild-type and CD209d/e gene-deficient (CD209d/e-/-) mice with influenza virus and measured the cellular response in bronchoalveolar lavage, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, antiviral genes, toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the lung, and lung pathology. We found CD209d/e-/- mice had decreased viral burden, TLR3 and TLR9 expression, interferon response, macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage, and parenchymal lung inflammation compared with control mice. We also found less influenza viral uptake in alveolar macrophages and bone marrow-derived macrophages isolated from CD209d/e-/- mice when compared with control mice. We further investigated the role CD209d/e by treating bone marrow-derived macrophages from control and CD209d/e-/- mice with TLR agonists. We found that lacking CD209d/e decreased the expression of TLR3, TLR9, RIG1, STAT1, and STAT2 compared with controls.

Some of the described Abs use a restricted set of variable gene segments.

We initially performed a literature review to summarize the Ab characteristics of autoantibodies related to some of the more common disorders, including N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) and leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI-1). Next, we performed data analysis from selected studies that sequenced Ig genes to further characterize NMDAR and LGI-1 autoantibodies including CDR3 length distribution, variable gene sequence usage, and isotype use. We found that CDR3 length of NMDAR autoantibodies was normally distributed whereas the CDR3 length distribution of LGI-1 autoantibodies was skewed, suggesting that there is no global structural restriction on types of autoantibodies that can cause encephalitis. We also found that IgG1-IgG3 were the main NMDAR autoantibody isotypes detected, while IgG4 was the major isotype used in autoantibodies from LGI-1 encephalitis.
