Cish attenuates proximal TCR-signaling and CD8+ T cell immunity

چکیده
CD8 T cells are potent killers of infected cells and tumors, specifically recognizing their targets through the T cell receptor (TCR). While much has been revealed about the activation of TCR signaling, negative regulation of this pathway remains incompletely elucidated. We report that Cish plays an inhibitory role in immunity to infection and adoptive transfer of Cish-deficient CD8 T cells eliminated established cancer. Cish deletion resulted in augmented acute phospholipase Cg1 (PLCg1) activation, Ca flux, NFAT and NFkB activity, and cytokine release. Conversely, Cish reconstitution decreased Ca + flux, T cell polyfunctionality and PLCg1 accumulation in microclusters. We found that Cish physically interacts with PLCg1, targeting it for degradation following TCR engagement. Our data reveals a central role for Cish as a negative regulator of proximal TCR signaling and CD8 T cell immunity and identifies a new targetable interaction for immune-based therapy of infectious disease and cancer.

Cish actively silences TCR signaling in CD8+ T cells to maintain tumor tolerance
Improving the functional avidity of effector T cells is critical in overcoming inhibitory factors within the tumor microenvironment and eliciting tumor regression. We have found that Cish, a member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family, is induced by TCR stimulation in CD8(+) T cells and inhibits their functional avidity against tumors. Genetic deletion of Cish in CD8(+) T cells...
متن کاملRecent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging
The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...

Redirecting CD8 T cell immunity with self/tumor-specific affinity-matured T cell receptors (TCRs) is a promising approach for clinical adoptive T cell therapy, with the aim to improve treatment efficacy. Despite numerous functional-based studies, little is known about the characteristics of TCR signaling (i.e., intensity, duration, and amplification) and the regulatory mechanisms underlying opt...
متن کاملDifferent modulation of Ptpn22 in effector and regulatory T cells leads to attenuation of autoimmune diabetes in transgenic nonobese diabetic mice.
Ptpn22 encodes PEST domain-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (Pep), which negatively regulates TCR proximal signaling and is strongly associated with a variety of autoimmune diseases in humans. The net effect of Pep on the balance of immunity and tolerance is uncertain because of the simultaneous inhibition of TCR-mediated signaling of effector and regulatory T cells (T(regs)). In this study, we ge...
متن کاملTNF receptor-associated factor 3 is required for T cell-mediated immunity and TCR/CD28 signaling.
We recently reported that TNFR-associated factor (TRAF)3, a ubiquitously expressed adaptor protein, promotes mature B cell apoptosis. However, the specific function of TRAF3 in T cells has remained unclear. In this article, we report the generation and characterization of T cell-specific TRAF3(-/-) mice, in which the traf3 gene was deleted from thymocytes and T cells. Ablation of TRAF3 in the T...
