Abstract
TNF-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2 or TNFAIP8L2) is a recently discovered negative regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. TIPE2 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, both immune and nonimmune, and is implicated in the maintenance of immune homeostasis within the immune system. Furthermore, TIPE2 has been shown to play a pivotal role in the regulation of inflammation and the development of tumor. This review focuses on the structural characteristics, expression patterns, and functional roles of TIPE proteins, with a particular emphasis on the role and underlying mechanisms of TIPE2 in immune regulation and its involvement in different diseases. However, the current body of evidence is still limited in providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex role of TIPE2 in the human body, warranting further investigation to elucidate the possible mechanisms and functions of TIPE2 in diverse disease contexts.

Increased Expression of CD95 in CD4 + Effector Memory T Cells Promotes Th17 Response in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis. J Neuroimmune Pharmacol 2022; 17:437-452. [PMID: 34716498 DOI: 10.1007/s11481-021-10030-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Emerging data have revealed that CD95 can evoke non-apoptotic signals, thereby promoting pro-inflammatory functions that link to the severity of autoimmune disorders. Here, we reported that the expression of CD95 in CD4+ effector memory T (CD4+ TEM) cells was increased in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. We also found increased expression of CD95 in CD4+ TEM cells from MG patients correlated positively with clinical severity scores (QMGs), serum IL-17 levels and plasma cells (PCs) frequencies. Conventional treatment, such as glucocorticoid, could down-regulate the expression of CD95 in CD4+ TEM cells, QMGs, serum IL-17 levels and PCs frequencies from MG patients. In vitro, low-dose of agonistic anti-CD95 mAb could promote Th17 cell development. This effect was reversed by CD95 siRNA. Moverover, CD95 stimulation induced the phosphorylation of p38 and Erk1/2 and Th17 cell differentiation, and p38 specific inhibitor SB203580 or Erk1/2 specific inhibitor PD98059 could induce opposite changes. However, SB203580 or PD98059 do not abrogate the increase of CCR6+IL-17A+ cells, ROR-γt and IL-17 expression induced by CD95 triggering relatively to each corresponding control. This suggests that p38 and Erk1/2 MAPK pathway plays a role in expression of CCR6+IL-17A+ cells, ROR-γt and IL-17, but not in their increase induced by CD95 triggering. Taken together, this study revealed that increased expression of CD95 in CD4+ TEM cells promotes Th17 response under the microenvironment of MG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Salidroside is used for treating inflammation-based diseases; however, its molecular mechanism is unclear. In this study, we determined the protective role of salidroside on the endotoxin-induced damage caused to the mouse alveolar epithelial type II (MLE-12) cells and its underlying mechanism. METHODS An in vitro model for acute lung injury was constructed by inducing the MLE-12 cells using lipopolysaccharide (lipopolysaccharides, 1 mg/L). Then, The MTT assay was conducted to assess the survival rate of the MLE-12 cells in the different groups. After the treatment, apoptosis of MLE-12 cells was determined, and the mRNA and protein expression of miR-199a-5p, HMGB1, NF-kB65, TNFAIP8L2, p-IkB-α, and TLR4 was estimated by Western Blotting and RT-PCR. ELISA was also used to measure the concentration of inflammatory cytokine molecules IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18 in the cell-free supernatant. Lastly, cell morphology was examined using the AO/EB technique. RESULTS We showed that salidroside reduced the protein and gene expression of HMGB1, NF-kB65, miR-199a-5p, p-IkB-α, and TLR4, whereas it increased the gene and protein expression of TNFAIP8L2. Furthermore, it decreased the concentrations of cytokine molecules like IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18 in the cell-free supernatant. MLE-12 also showed a lower apoptosis rate, higher survival rate, and better cell morphology. CONCLUSION Salidroside significantly inhibited the LPS-induced MLE-12 cell damage. Our results suggest that this could be by reducing miR-199a-5p and enhancing TNFAIP8L2 expression.

TIPE2 attenuates neuroinflammation and brain injury through Bcl-2/Bax/cleaved caspase-3 apoptotic pathways after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice. Brain Res Bull 2022; 191:1-8. [PMID: 36179971 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2022.09.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity, and effective treatment is limited. A large amount of evidence suggests that the inflammatory response contributes to secondary brain damage following ICH. TIPE2 is an essential negative regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity, and depletion of TIPE2 causes inflammatory disease. However, the possible role of TIPE2 following ICH has not been reported. METHODS In this study, we investigated TIPE2 levels and inflammation in microglia treated with erythrocyte lysate in vitro. In addition, we analyzed the role of Bcl-2/Bax/cleaved caspase-3 apoptotic pathways in ICH mice. Furthermore, we observed proinflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, cerebral water content and neurological damage in ICH mice. RESULTS We found that TIPE2 levels were significantly decreased in erythrocyte lysate-treated microglia compared to control microglia.Upregulation of TIPE2 decreased microglia activation and cytokine production and accelerated brain damage in ICH mice. Furthermore, upregulation of TIPE2 decreased the higher ratio of Blc-2/Bax and increased cleaved caspase-3 levels in ICH mice. In addition, upregulation of TIPE2 attenuated proinflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, and severe brain inflammation after ICH. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that TIPE2 was negatively correlated with the pathogenesis of ICH, which prevented brain injury and attenuated deleterious inflammatory responses following ICH. TIPE2 might serve as a novel target for ICH therapy.

TLR2/TLR4-Enhanced TIPE2 Expression Is Involved in Post-Hemorrhagic Shock Mesenteric Lymph-Induced Activation of CD4+T Cells. Front Immunol 2022; 13:838618. [PMID: 35572554 PMCID: PMC9101470 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.838618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Post hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) return contributes to CD4+ T cell dysfunction, which leads to immune dysfunction and uncontrolled inflammatory response. Tumor necrosis factor α induced protein 8 like-2 (TIPE2) is one of the essential proteins to maintain the immune homeostasis. This study investigated the role of TIPE2 in regulation of CD4+ T lymphocyte function in interaction of PHSML and TLR2/TLR4. Methods The splenic CD4+ T cells were isolated from various mice (WT, TLR2-/-, TLR4-/-) by immunomagnetic beads, and stimulated with PHSML, normal lymphatic fluid (NML), respectively. Application of TIPE2-carrying interfering fragments of lentivirus were transfected to WT, TLR4-/-, and TLR2-/- CD4+ T cells, respectively. After interference of TIPE2, they were stimulated with PHSML and NML for the examinations of TIPE2, TLR2, and TLR4 mRNA expressions, proliferation, activation molecules on surface, and cytokine secretion function. Results PHSML stimulation significantly upregulated TIPE2, TLR2, and TLR4 mRNA expressions, decreased proliferation, CD25 expression, and IFN-γ secretion, and increased the secretion ability of IL-4 in WT CD4+ T cells. TIPE2 silencing enhanced proliferative capacity, upregulated CD25 expression, and increased IFNγ secretion in CD4+ T cells. PHSML stimulated TLR2-/-CD4+ T or TLR4-/-CD4+ T cells of which TIPE2 were silenced. TLR2 or TLR4 knockout attenuated PHSML-induced CD4+ T cells dysfunction; PHSML stimulation of silent TIPE2-expressing TLR2-/-CD4+ T or TLR4-/-CD4+ T revealed that the coexistence of low TIPE2 expression with lack of TLR2 or TLR4 eliminated this beneficial effect. Conclusion TIPE2 improves the PHSML-mediated CD4+T cells dysfunction by regulating TLR2/TLR4 pathway, providing a new intervention target following hemorrhagic shock-induced immune dysfunction.

[PMID: 34296288 PMCID: PMC8354313 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2021.5012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects numerous individuals annually; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. The sphingosine 1‑phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) have recently been shown to be involved in valvular damage via the promotion of the differentiation of T helper 17 (Th17) cells during the development of RHD‑induced valvular damage. The present study investigated whether altering the expression of S1PR1 or STAT3 attenuates valvular damage due to RHD. Inactivated group A streptococcus (GAS) was used to establish a rat model of RHD. Recombinant adeno‑associated viral vectors carrying an S1PR1 overexpression sequence were used to overexpress S1PR1. STAT3 small interfering RNA (STAT3‑siRNA) was used to inhibit STAT3 expression. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expression of S1PR1, STAT3, collagen type III α1 chain (Col3a1) and fibroblast‑specific protein 1. Western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the levels of S1PR1, STAT3, phosphorylated (p‑) STAT3, and retinoic acid‑related orphan receptor γT (RORγt) proteins. Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the levels of interleukin (IL)‑6 and IL‑17. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Sirius Red staining were performed to evaluate the degree of inflammation and fibrosis in the valvular tissues. S1PR1 expression was decreased in the valvular tissues of the rats with RHD. The levels of IL‑6, IL‑17 and p‑STAT3 in the rats with RHD were increased. The degree of valvular inflammation and fibrosis in the rats with RHD was also increased. The overexpression of S1PR1 and the inhibition of STAT3 reduced the total p‑STAT3 level, resulting in decreased levels of IL‑6, IL‑17 and RORγt, and a reduced degree of valvular inflammation and fibrosis. These results suggest that the expression of S1PR1 and STAT3 may be involved in valvular tissue damage due to RHD. Thus, strategies designed to interfere with the expression of S1PR1 or STAT3 may affect the expression of Th17 cell‑related cytokines and may thus attenuate valvular damage due to RHD.

Abstract
Myasthenia gravis (MG), a neuromuscular junction disorder, is caused by pathogenic autoantibodies. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays important roles in T helper 17 (Th17), T follicular helper (Tfh), and B cell activations as well as in antibody production. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of serum IL-6 level as a biomarker of disease activity in patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive MG. In the present study, serum IL-6 levels were measured in 93 treatment-naïve patients with anti-AChR antibody-positive MG and compared with those in 101 controls. Moreover, correlations between serum IL-6 levels and clinical characteristics were analyzed. Serum IL-6 levels were significantly higher in patients with anti-AChR antibody-positive MG than in controls (median [interquartile range], 2.5 [1.5-8.3] pg/mL vs. 1.5 [1.5-3.2] pg/mL, P < 0.001). The serum levels were correlated with the MG Foundation of America clinical classification (Spearman's ρ = 0.27; P < 0.01) and decreased following immunosuppressive treatment in parallel with disease activity (P = 0.01). In conclusion, IL-6 is involved in the pathogenesis of anti-AChR antibody-positive MG and could be a therapeutic target in MG.

Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 96:107477.

Abstract
Promoting plaque stability is of great significance for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. 7-difluoromethoxy-5,4'-dimethoxygenistein (DFMG) is a novel active compound synthesized using genistein, which exerts anti-atherosclerotic effect. In this study, we evaluated effects of DFMG on plaque stability in ApoE-/- mice fed with high fat diet (HFD), and explored the molecular mechanism by using ApoE-/-TLR4-/- mice and RAW264.7 cells. Here, we found that DFMG significantly reduced plaque areas, macrophages infiltration and apoptosis, and TLR4 expression in HFD-fed ApoE-/- mice. Meanwhile, DFMG increased collagen fibers, smooth muscle cells and TIPE2 expression in plaques and media. Besides, TLR4 knockout promoted the protective effects of DFMG on plaques. In vitro, DFMG decreased lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced macrophages apoptosis and TLR4, while upregulated TIPE2. Moreover, TIPE2 reduced TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB p65Ser276, cleaved Caspase-3 overproduction, and enhanced effects of DFMG on LPC-induced macrophages. Overall, our study demonstrates that DFMG can promote plaque stability by reducing macrophage apoptosis through TIPE2/TLR4 signaling pathway, which suggests DFMG should be used to develop food additives or drugs for preventing atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue caused by the presence of autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or the muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK). Activated T, B and plasma cells, as well as cytokines, play important roles in the production of pathogenic autoantibodies and the induction of inflammation at the neuromuscular junction in MG. Many studies have focused on the role of cytokines and lymphocytes in anti-AChR antibody-positive MG. Chronic inflammation mediated by T helper type 17 (Th17) cells, the promotion of autoantibody production from B cells and plasma cells by follicular Th (Tfh) cells and the activation of the immune response by dysfunction of regulatory T (Treg ) cells may contribute to the exacerbation of the MG pathogenesis. In fact, an increased number of Th17 cells and Tfh cells and dysfunction of Treg cells have been reported in patients with anti-AChR antibody-positive MG; moreover, the number of these cells was correlated with clinical parameters in patients with MG. Regarding cytokines, interleukin (IL)-17; a Th17-related cytokine, IL-21 (a Tfh-related cytokine), the B-cell-activating factor (BAFF; a B cell-related cytokine) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL; a B cell-related cytokine) have been reported to be up-regulated and associated with clinical parameters of MG. This review focuses on the current understanding of the involvement of cytokines and lymphocytes in the immunological pathogenesis of MG, which may lead to the development of novel therapies for this disease in the near future.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the terminal process of human labor and delivery, including myometrial contractions and membrane rupture. TNF-alpha-induced protein 8-like-2 (TIPE2) is a novel inflammation regulator; however, there are no studies on the role of TIPE2 in human labor. We report that in myometrium, there is decreased TIPE2 mRNA expression during late gestation which was further decreased in labor. In fetal membranes, TIPE2 mRNA expression was decreased with both term and preterm labor compared to no labor samples. Knockdown of TIPE2 by siRNA in primary myometrium and amnion cells was associated with an augmentation of IL1B and TNF-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines; expression of contraction-associated proteins and secretion of the uterotonic prostaglandin PGF2α and expression of extracellular matrix degrading enzymes. In TIPE2-deficient myometrial cells treated with inhibitors of NF-κB or ERK1/2, the secretion of pro-labor mediators was reduced back to control levels. In conclusion, these in vitro experiments indicate that loss of TIPE2 exacerbates the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Unlike other members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family that play a carcinogenic role and regulate apoptosis, TNFAIP8-like 2 (TIPE2) can not only maintain immune homeostasis but also regulate inflammation. TIPE2 mainly restrains the activation of T cell receptor (TCR) and Toll-like receptors (TLR), regulating its downstream signaling pathways, thereby regulating inflammation. Interestingly, TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in many inflammatory diseases and may promote or inhibit inflammation in different diseases. This review summarizes the molecular target and cellular function of TIPE2 in immune cells and inflammatory diseases and the underlying mechanism by which TIPE2 regulates inflammation. The function and mechanism of TIPE2 in asthma is also explained in detail. TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in asthma and participates in the pathogenesis of different phenotypes of asthma through regulating multiple inflammatory cells' activity and function. Considering the indispensable role of TIPE2 in asthma, TIPE2 may be an effective therapeutic target in asthma. However, the available data are insufficient to provide a full understanding of the complex role of TIPE2 in human asthma. Further study is still necessary to explore the possible mechanism and functions of TIPE2 in different asthma phenotypes.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe role of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induced protein 8-like-2 (TIPE2) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) keratitis was explored.MethodsEight-week-old TIPE2 knockout (TIPE2−/−) C57BL/6 mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were used. Corneal disease was graded at 1, 2, and 3 days postinfection, and slit lamp, clinical score, histopathology, and immunostaining were performed in the infected corneas. The corneas were harvested, and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of TNF-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were tested. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) determined the protein levels, and nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) signaling molecules were tested by Western blot. In vitro human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) were used to determine the relationship between TIPE2 and TAK1. The HCECs were treated with TIPE2 short hairpin ribonucleic acid (shRNA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to test the NF-κB signaling molecules by Western blot.ResultsPseudomonas aeruginosa infection induced a decreased expression of TIPE2 in mouse corneas 2 days postinfection. Compared with the control group, TIPE2-deficient mice were susceptible to infection with PA and showed increased corneal inflammation. Reduced NF-κB signaling and inflammatory cell infiltration were required in the TIPE2-mediated immune modulation.ConclusionsTIPE2 promoted host resistance to PA infection by suppressing corneal inflammation via regulating TAK1 signaling negatively and inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a public health burden in developing countries. Th17 cell-associated cytokines might play a role in the pathogenesis and development of RHD, but the specific molecular mechanism is not completely understood. We investigated the potential role of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in cardiac valve damage in a rat model of RHD. We used 20 Lewis rats divided randomly into control and RHD groups. The RHD model was constructed by injecting inactivated group A Streptococci and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). The rats in the control group were injected with normal saline and CFA. Th17 cell-related cytokines were measured by ELISA. Fibrosis was assessed by histological examination. RT-qPCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of S1PR1 and STAT3/phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3). The S1PR1/STAT3 signaling pathway was activated in the RHD model. Compared to the control group, serum levels of IL-17 and IL-21 cytokines associated with Th17 cells were increased significantly in the RHD group; the collagen volume fraction also was substantially increased. The S1PR1/STAT3 signaling pathway might be involved in RHD induced cardiac valve damage by regulating Th17 cells.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like (TIPE/TNFAIP8) family is a recently identified family of proteins that is strongly associated with the regulation of immunity and tumorigenesis. This family is comprised of four members, namely, tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TIPE/TNFAIP8), tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1/TNFAIP8L1), tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2/TNFAIP8L2), and tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 3 (TIPE3/TNFAIP8L3). Although the proteins of this family were initially described as regulators of tumorigenesis, inflammation, and cell death, they are also found to be involved in the regulation of autophagy and the transfer of lipid secondary messengers, besides contributing to immune function and homeostasis. Interestingly, despite the existence of a significant sequence homology among the four members of this family, they are involved in different biological activities and also exhibit remarkable variability of expression. Furthermore, this family of proteins is highly deregulated in different human cancers and various chronic diseases. This review summarizes the vivid role of the TIPE family of proteins and its association with various signaling cascades in diverse chronic diseases.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the underlying mechanism of toll‑like receptor (TLR) agonist polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C)‑induced apoptosis in THP‑1 cells following silencing the expression of tumor necrosis factor α‑induced protein 8‑like 2 (TIPE2). THP‑1 cells were incubated with different concentrations of the TLR agonist. Following incubation, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to quantify the mRNA expression of TIPE2. Lentiviral technology was used to silence the expression of TIPE2. MTT assay was performed to assess cell proliferation, Annexin V/PI double staining was used to evaluate the apoptosis and western blotting was used to determine the expression levels of caspase‑8 following TIPE2 silencing. The TLRs agonist Poly I:C increased the expression level of TIPE2. During the incubation, Poly I:C also inhibited the proliferation of THP‑1 cells and induced apoptosis. Following silencing of TIPE2 in THP‑1 cells, the Poly I:C‑induced TIPE2 expression was significantly downregulated. Additionally, the Poly I:C‑induced proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in THP‑1 cells were significantly reduced following silencing of TIPE2. The findings of the western blot analysis indicated that the active form of caspase‑8, p18, was downregulated following silencing of TIPE2. In conclusion, the expression of TIPE2 in THP‑1 cells may be upregulated by Poly I:C, which may also inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. Following the downregulation of TIPE2 the aforementioned effect of Poly I:C treatment was reversed and may be associated with the reduced activity of caspase‑8 that was observed in the TIPE2 silenced group.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative and neuropsychological disorders are becoming a greater proportion of the global disease burden; however the pathogenic mechanisms by which these disorders originate and contribute to disease progression are not well-described. Increasing evidence supports neuroinflammation as a common underlying component associated with the neuropathological processes that effect disease progression. This collection of articles explores the role of adaptive immunity in autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, neurotrauma, and psychological disorders. The section emphasizes the interactions of T cells with innate cellular responses within the CNS and the effects on neurological functions. One recurrent theme is that modified and aggregated self-proteins upregulate innate-mediated inflammation and provide a permissive environment for polarization of T cells to proinflammatory effector cells. Moreover, infiltration and reactivation of those T effector cells exacerbate neuroinflammation and oxidative stress to greater neurotoxic levels. Another recurrent theme in these disorders promotes diminished regulatory functions that reduce control over activated T effector cells and microglia, and ultimately augment proinflammatory conditions. Augmentation of regulatory control is discussed as therapeutic strategies to attenuate neuroinflammation, mitigate neurodegeneration or neuronal dysfunction, and lessen disease progression.
