Proteasome dysfunction in T cells causes immunodeficiency via cell cycle disruption and apoptosis,
International Immunology, 2025.

(要約): Proteasomes are essential molecular complexes that regulate intracellular protein homeostasis by selectively degrading ubiquitinated proteins. Genetic mutations in proteasome subunits lead to proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndromes (PRAAS) characterized by autoinflammation, partial progressive lipodystrophy, and, in certain cases, immunodeficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms by which proteasome dysfunction results in these phenotypes remain unclear. Here, we established a mouse model carrying a mutation in β5i (encoded by Psmb8) along with T-cell-specific β5 (encoded by Psmb5) deficiency (KIKO mice). The KIKO mice presented severe loss of mature T cells in the spleen but not in the thymus, with reduced proteasome activity leading to the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. The CD4+ T cells of KIKO mice presented impaired proliferative activity with cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase following TCR engagement. T cells from KIKO mice underwent rapid cell death through apoptosis, as treatment of T cells with the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD rescued cell viability. Moreover, proteasome dysfunction induced apoptosis in T cells without affecting either mitochondrial functions or ER stress responses. Thus, our data provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying not only immunodeficiency in PRAAS patients but also T-cell deficiency associated with other disorders.

Cooperative but Distinct Role of Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cells and Dendritic Cells in the Production of Regulatory T Cells in the Thymus.,
The Journal of Immunology, 2023.

(要約): Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are produced in the thymus to establish self-tolerance, and agonistic stimuli by self-Ags play a pivotal role in this process. Although two types of APCs, medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and dendritic cells (DCs), are responsible for presenting self-Ags together with costimulatory/cytokine signals, the distinct role of each APC in producing Tregs remains enigmatic. We have approached this issue by depleting the mTECs and DCs using mice expressing diphtheria toxin receptors driven by Aire and CD11c promoters, respectively. Depletion of mTECs showed an effect on Treg production quantitatively and qualitatively more profound than that of DCs followed by the development of distinct organ-specific autoimmune lesions in the hosts. Because self-Ags produced by mTECs are transferable to DCs through a process known as Ag transfer, we monitored the process of Ag transfer using mice expressing GFP from TECs. Although GFP expressed from total TECs was effectively transferred to DCs, GFP expressed from cortical TECs was not, suggesting that mTECs are the predominant source of self-Ags. We also found that GFP expressed not only from mature mTECs but also from immature mTECs was transferred to DCs, suggesting that a broad spectrum of molecules were subjected to Ag transfer during mTEC development. Interestingly, the numbers of recirculating non-Tregs producing IL-2, an important source for Treg expansion in the thymus, were reduced only in the mTEC-depleted mice. These results suggested the cooperative but distinct role of mTECs and DCs in the production of Tregs to avoid autoimmunity.

Dispensable Role of Aire in CD11c+ Conventional Dendritic Cells for Antigen Presentation and Shaping the Transcriptome.,
ImmunoHorizons, Vol.7, No.1, 140-158, 2023.

(要約): Aire, the defect of which is responsible for the development of autoimmunity, is predominantly expressed in medullary thymic epithelial cells, and it controls a wide variety of genes, including those of tissue-restricted Ags, for establishing thymic tolerance. Aire is also expressed from APCs in the periphery, called extrathymic Aire-expressing cells (eTACs), and their complementing role to thymic tolerance has been suggested. eTACs are composed of two distinct classes of APCs, conventional dendritic cell (cDC)-type and group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3)-like-type expressing retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt). Although the essential role of Aire in the latter in the Th17-mediated immune response against Candida albicans has been reported, the role of Aire in the cDC-type eTACs for this action has not been examined. Furthermore, the significance of Aire in the production of the transcriptome of the cDC-type eTACs remains unknown. We have approached these issues using a high-fidelity Aire-reporter mouse strain. We found that although the cDC-type eTACs dominated ILC3-like-type eTACs in number and they served as efficient APCs for the immune response against an exogenous Ag as well as for the C. albicans-specific Th17 immune response, loss of Aire in cDC-type eTACs showed no clear effect on these functions. Furthermore, loss of Aire showed no major impact on the transcriptome from cDC-type eTACs. These results suggested that Aire in cDC-type eTACs may not have a cell-intrinsic role in the immune response in contrast to the role of Aire in ILC3-like-type eTACs.

Development of organ-specific autoimmunity by dysregulated Aire expression.,
Immunology and Cell Biology, Vol.100, No.5, 371-377, 2022.

(要約): Deficiency for AIRE/Aire in both humans and mice results in the development of organ-specific autoimmune disease. We tested whether augmented and/or dysregulated AIRE/Aire expression might be also prone to the breakdown of self-tolerance. To define the effect of augmented Aire expression on the development of autoimmunity, antigen-specific clonal deletion and production of clonotypic regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the thymus were examined using mice expressing two additional copies of Aire in a heterozygous state (3xAire-knockin mice: 3xAire-KI). We found that both clonal deletion of autoreactive T cells and production of clonotypic Tregs in the thymus from 3xAire-KI were impaired in a T-cell receptor-transgenic system. Furthermore, 3xAire-KI females showed higher scores of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein than wild-type littermates, suggesting that augmented Aire expression exacerbates organ-specific autoimmunity under disease-prone conditions. In humans, we found that one patient with amyopathic dermatomyositis showed CD3

No Major Impact of Two Homologous Proteins Ly6C1 and Ly6C2 on Immune Homeostasis.,
ImmunoHorizons, Vol.6, No.3, 202-210, 2022.

(要約): Ly6C comprises two homologous components of Ly6C1 and Ly6C2, and the expression of either of the Ly6C molecules defines unique functional subsets of monocytes. Ly6C is also expressed by other immune cell types, including Aire-expressing medullary thymic epithelial cells. Because the role of Ly6C expression in determining the functional subsets remains unclear, we generated mice deficient for both Ly6C1 and Ly6C2 with CRISPR-Cas9mediated deletion. Mice deficient for Ly6C1/Ly6C2 showed no major alterations in the subsets and function of monocyte and other immune cells, including the cells involved in the dextran sulfate sodium saltinduced colitis model. By generating the mice deficient for Ly6C1 alone, we have also investigated the expression pattern of Ly6C1 and Ly6C2 in immune cells. Except for medullary thymic epithelial cells and CD4 single-positive T cells, immune cells predominantly expressed Ly6C2. Thus, despite the importance as a marker with a unique differential expression pattern, the Ly6C molecules have no major impact on determining the functional subsets and maintaining immune homeostasis.

Aire suppresses CTLA-4 expression from the thymic stroma to control autoimmunity.,
Cell Reports, Vol.38, No.7, 110384, 2022.

(要約): Impaired production of thymic regulatory T cells (Tregs) is implicated in the development of Aire-dependent autoimmunity. Because Tregs require agonistic T cell receptor stimuli by self-antigens to develop, reduced expression of self-antigens from medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) has been considered to play a major role in the reduced Treg production in Aire deficiency. Here, we show that mTECs abnormally express co-inhibitory receptor CTLA-4 if Aire is non-functional. Upon binding with CD80/CD86 ligands expressed on thymic dendritic cells (DCs), the ectopically expressed CTLA-4 from Aire-deficient mTECs removes the CD80/CD86 ligands from the DCs. This attenuates the ability of DCs to provide co-stimulatory signals and to present self-antigens transferred from mTECs, both of which are required for Treg production. Accordingly, impaired production of Tregs and organ-specific autoimmunity in Aire-deficient mice are rescued by the depletion of CTLA-4 expression from mTECs. Our studies illuminate the significance of mTEC-DC interaction coordinated by Aire for the establishment of thymic tolerance.

Aire Controls Heterogeneity of Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cells for the Expression of Self-Antigens.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.208, No.2, 303-320, 2022.

(要約): The deficiency of Aire, a transcriptional regulator whose defect results in the development of autoimmunity, is associated with reduced expression of tissue-restricted self-Ags (TRAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). Although the mechanisms underlying Aire-dependent expression of TRAs need to be explored, the physical identification of the target(s) of Aire has been hampered by the low and promiscuous expression of TRAs. We have tackled this issue by engineering mice with augmented Aire expression. Integration of the transcriptomic data from Aire-augmented and Aire-deficient mTECs revealed that a large proportion of so-called Aire-dependent genes, including those of TRAs, may not be direct transcriptional targets downstream of Aire. Rather, Aire induces TRA expression indirectly through controlling the heterogeneity of mTECs, as revealed by single-cell analyses. In contrast, Ccl25 emerged as a canonical target of Aire, and we verified this both in vitro and in vivo. Our approach has illuminated the Aire's primary targets while distinguishing them from the secondary targets.

A novel method to identify Post-Aire stages of medullary thymic epithelial cell differentiation,
European Journal of Immunology, Vol.51, No.2, 311-318, 2021.

(要約): Autoimmune regulator (Aire) medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play a critical role in tolerance induction. Several studies demonstrated that Aire mTECs differentiate further into Post-Aire cells. Yet, the identification of terminal stages of mTEC maturation depends on unique fate-mapping mouse models. Herein, we resolve this limitation by segmenting the mTEC (MHCII CD80 ) compartment into mTEC (CD24 Sca1 ), mTEC (CD24 Sca1 ), and mTEC (CD24 Sca1 ). While mTEC included mostly Aire-expressing cells, mTEC contained Aire and Aire cells and mTEC were mainly composed of cells lacking Aire. The differential expression pattern of Aire led us to investigate the precursor-product relationship between these subsets. Strikingly, transcriptomic analysis of mTEC , mTEC , and mTEC sequentially mirrored the specific genetic program of Early-, Late- and Post-Aire mTECs. Corroborating their Post-Aire nature, mTEC downregulated the expression of tissue-restricted antigens, acquired traits of differentiated keratinocytes, and were absent in Aire-deficient mice. Collectively, our findings reveal a new and simple blueprint to survey late stages of mTEC differentiation.

Tissue-specific autoimmunity controlled by Aire in thymic and peripheral tolerance mechanisms.,
International Immunology, Vol.32, No.2, 117-131, 2020.

(要約): Tissue-specific autoimmune diseases are assumed to arise through malfunction of two checkpoints for immune tolerance: defective elimination of autoreactive T cells in the thymus and activation of these T cells by corresponding autoantigens in the periphery. However, evidence for this model and the outcome of such alterations in each or both of the tolerance mechanisms have not been sufficiently investigated. We studied these issues by expressing human AIRE (huAIRE) as a modifier of tolerance function in NOD mice wherein the defects of thymic and peripheral tolerance together cause type I diabetes (T1D). Additive huAIRE expression in the thymic stroma had no major impact on the production of diabetogenic T cells in the thymus. In contrast, huAIRE expression in peripheral antigen-presenting cells (APCs) rendered the mice resistant to T1D, while maintaining other tissue-specific autoimmune responses and antibody production against an exogenous protein antigen, because of the loss of Xcr1+ dendritic cells, an essential component for activating diabetogenic T cells in the periphery. These results contrast with our recent demonstration that huAIRE expression in both the thymic stroma and peripheral APCs resulted in the paradoxical development of muscle-specific autoimmunity. Our results reveal that tissue-specific autoimmunity is differentially controlled by a combination of thymic function and peripheral tolerance, which can be manipulated by expression of huAIRE/Aire in each or both of the tolerance mechanisms.

Aire Controls in Trans the Production of Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cells Expressing Ly-6C/Ly-6G.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.201, No.11, 3244-3257, 2018.

(要約): Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), which express a wide range of tissue-restricted Ags (TRAs), contribute to the establishment of self-tolerance by eliminating autoreactive T cells and/or inducing regulatory T cells. Aire controls a diverse set of TRAs within Aire-expressing cells by employing various transcriptional pathways. As Aire has a profound effect on transcriptomes of mTECs, including TRAs not only at the single-cell but also the population level, we suspected that Aire (Aire+ mTECs) might control the cellular composition of the thymic microenvironment. In this study, we confirmed that this is indeed the case by identifying a novel mTEC subset expressing Ly-6 family protein whose production was defective in Aire-deficient thymi. Reaggregated thymic organ culture experiments demonstrated that Aire did not induce the expression of Ly-6C/Ly-6G molecules from mTECs as Aire-dependent TRAs in a cell-intrinsic manner. Instead, Aire+ mTECs functioned in trans to maintain Ly-6C/Ly-6G+ mTECs. Thus, Aire not only controls TRA expression transcriptionally within the cell but also controls the overall composition of mTECs in a cell-extrinsic manner, thereby regulating the transcriptome from mTECs on a global scale.

Paradoxical development of polymyositis-like autoimmunity through augmented expression of autoimmune regulator (AIRE).,
Journal of Autoimmunity, Vol.86, 75-92, 2018.

(要約): Autoimmunity is prevented by the function of the autoimmune regulator [AIRE (Aire in mice)], which promotes the expression of a wide variety of tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs) from medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and from a subset of peripheral antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We examined the effect of additive expression of human AIRE (huAIRE) in a model of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. Unexpectedly, we observed that mice expressing augmented AIRE/Aire developed muscle-specific autoimmunity associated with incomplete maturation of mTECs together with impaired expression of Aire-dependent TRAs. This led to failure of deletion of autoreactive T cells together with dramatically reduced production of regulatory T cells in the thymus. In peripheral APCs, expression of costimulatory molecules was augmented. We suggest that levels of Aire expression need to be tightly controlled for maintenance of immunological tolerance. Our results also highlight the importance of coordinated action between central tolerance and peripheral tolerance under the common control of Aire.

Aire expression is inherent to most medullary thymic epithelial cells during their differentiation program.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.195, No.11, 5149-5158, 2015.

(要約): Aire in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) plays an important role in the establishment of self-tolerance. Because Aire+ mTECs appear to be a limited subset, they may constitute a unique lineage(s) among mTECs. An alternative possibility is that all mTECs are committed to express Aire in principle, but Aire expression by individual mTECs is conditional. To investigate this issue, we established a novel Aire reporter strain in which endogenous Aire is replaced by the human AIRE-GFP-Flag tag (Aire/hAGF-knockin) fusion gene. The hAGF reporter protein was produced and retained very efficiently within mTECs as authentic Aire nuclear dot protein. Remarkably, snapshot analysis revealed that mTECs expressing hAGF accounted for >95% of mature mTECs, suggesting that Aire expression does not represent a particular mTEC lineage(s). We confirmed this by generating Aire/diphtheria toxin receptor knockin mice in which long-term ablation of Aire+ mTECs by diphtheria toxin treatment resulted in the loss of most mature mTECs beyond the proportion of those apparently expressing Aire. These results suggest that Aire expression is inherent to all mTECs but may occur at particular stage(s) and/or cellular states during their differentiation, thus accounting for the broad impact of Aire on the promiscuous gene expression of mTECs.

Ectopic Aire expression in the thymic cortex reveals inherent properties of Aire as a tolerogenic factor within the medulla.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.195, No.10, 4641-4649, 2015.

(要約): Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) play essential roles in the positive and negative selection of developing thymocytes, respectively. Aire in mTECs plays an essential role in the latter process through expression of broad arrays of tissue-restricted Ags. To determine whether the location of Aire within the medulla is absolutely essential or whether Aire could also function within the cortex for establishment of self-tolerance, we used bacterial artificial chromosome technology to establish a semiknockin strain of NOD-background (β5t/Aire-transgenic) mice expressing Aire under control of the promoter of β5t, a thymoproteasome expressed exclusively in the cortex. Although Aire was expressed in cTECs as typical nuclear dot protein in β5t/Aire-Tg mice, cTECs expressing Aire ectopically did not confer transcriptional expression of either Aire-dependent or Aire-independent tissue-restricted Ag genes. We then crossed β5t/Aire-Tg mice with Aire-deficient NOD mice, generating a strain in which Aire expression was confined to cTECs. Despite the presence of Aire(+) cTECs, these mice succumbed to autoimmunity, as did Aire-deficient NOD mice. The thymic microenvironment harboring Aire(+) cTECs, within which many Aire-activated genes were present, also showed no obvious alteration of positive selection, suggesting that Aire's unique property of generating a self-tolerant T cell repertoire is functional only in mTECs.

NF-κB-Inducing Kinase in Thymic Stroma Establishes Central Tolerance by Orchestrating Cross-Talk with Not Only Thymocytes but Also Dendritic Cells.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.193, No.9, 4356-4367, 2014.

(要約): Essential roles of NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) for the development of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and regulatory T cells have been highlighted by studies using a strain of mouse bearing a natural mutation of the NIK gene (aly mice). However, the exact mechanisms underlying the defect in thymic cross-talk leading to the breakdown of self-tolerance in aly mice remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that production of regulatory T cells and the final maturation process of positively selected conventional αβ T cells are impaired in aly mice, partly because of a lack of mature mTECs. Of note, numbers of thymic dendritic cells and their expression of costimulatory molecules were also affected in aly mice in a thymic stroma-dependent manner. The results suggest a pivotal role of NIK in the thymic stroma in establishing self-tolerance by orchestrating cross-talk between mTECs and dendritic cells as well as thymocytes. In addition, we showed that negative selection was impaired in aly mice as a result of the stromal defect, which accounts for the development of organ-specific autoimmunity through a lack of normal NIK.

Temporal lineage tracing of Aire-expressing cells reveals a requirement for Aire in their maturation program.,
The Journal of Immunology, Vol.192, No.6, 2585-2592, 2014.

(要約): Understanding the cellular dynamics of Aire-expressing lineage(s) among medullary thymic epithelial cells (AEL-mTECs) is essential for gaining insight into the roles of Aire in establishment of self-tolerance. In this study, we monitored the maturation program of AEL-mTECs by temporal lineage tracing, in which bacterial artificial chromosome transgenic mice expressing tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase under control of the Aire regulatory element were crossed with reporter strains. We estimated that the half-life of AEL-mTECs subsequent to Aire expression was ∼7-8 d, which was much longer than that reported previously, owing to the existence of a post-Aire stage. We found that loss of Aire did not alter the overall lifespan of AEL-mTECs, inconsistent with the previous notion that Aire expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) might result in their apoptosis for efficient cross-presentation of self-antigens expressed by AEL-mTECs. In contrast, Aire was required for the full maturation program of AEL-mTECs, as exemplified by the lack of physiological downregulation of CD80 during the post-Aire stage in Aire-deficient mice, thus accounting for the abnormally increased CD80(high) mTECs seen in such mice. Of interest, increased CD80(high) mTECs in Aire-deficient mice were not mTEC autonomous and were dependent on cross-talk with thymocytes. These results further support the roles of Aire in the differentiation program of AEL-mTECs.

Which model better fits the role of Aire in the establishment of self-tolerance: the transcription model or the maturation model?,
Frontiers in Immunology, Vol.4, 1-4, Jul. 2013.

(要約): The discovery of Aire-dependent transcriptional control of many tissue-restricted self-antigen (TRA) genes in thymic epithelial cells in the medulla (medullary thymic epithelial cells, mTECs) has raised the intriguing question of how the single Aire gene can influence the transcription of such a large number of TRA genes within mTECs. From a mechanistic viewpoint, there are two possible models to explain the function of Aire in this action. In the first model, TRAs are considered to be the direct target genes of Aire's transcriptional activity. In this scenario, the lack of Aire protein within cells would result in the defective TRA gene expression, while the maturation program of mTECs would be unaffected in principle. The second model hypothesizes that Aire is necessary for the maturation program of mTECs. In this case, we assume that the mTEC compartment does not mature normally in the absence of Aire. If acquisition of the properties of TRA gene expression depends on the maturation status of mTECs, a defect of such an Aire-dependent maturation program in Aire-deficient mTECs can also result in impaired TRA gene expression. In this brief review, we will focus on these two contrasting models for the roles of Aire in controlling the expression of TRAs within mTECs.
