Functional and transcriptional heterogeneity within the massively expanding HLADR +CD38 + CD8 T cell population in acute febrile dengue patients. J Virol 2023; 97:e0074623.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE CD8 T cells play a crucial role in protecting against intracellular pathogens such as viruses by eliminating infected cells and releasing anti-viral cytokines such as interferon gamma (IFNγ). Consequently, there is significant interest in comprehensively characterizing CD8 T cell responses in acute dengue febrile patients. Previous studies, including our own, have demonstrated that a discrete population of CD8 T cells with HLADR+ CD38+ phenotype undergoes massive expansion during the acute febrile phase of natural dengue virus infection. Although about a third of these massively expanding HLADR+ CD38+ CD8 T cells were also CD69high when examined ex vivo, only a small fraction of them produced IFNγ upon in vitro peptide stimulation. Therefore, to better understand such functional diversity of CD8 T cells responding to dengue virus infection, it is important to know the cytokines/chemokines expressed by these peptide-stimulated HLADR+CD38+ CD8 T cells and the transcriptional profiles that distinguish the CD69+IFNγ+, CD69+IFNγ-, and CD69-IFNγ- subsets.

The Tyrosine Phosphatase Activity of PTPN22 Is Involved in T Cell Development via the Regulation of TCR Expression. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14505. [PMID: 37833951 PMCID: PMC10572452 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22 inhibits T cell activation by dephosphorylating some essential proteins in the T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling pathway, such as the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck), Src family tyrosine kinases Fyn, and the phosphorylation levels of Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase-70 (ZAP70). For the first time, we have successfully produced PTPN22 CS transgenic mice in which the tyrosine phosphatase activity of PTPN22 is suppressed. Notably, the number of thymocytes in the PTPN22 CS mice was significantly reduced, and the expression of cytokines in the spleen and lymph nodes was changed significantly. Furthermore, PTPN22 CS facilitated the positive and negative selection of developing thymocytes, increased the expression of the TCRαβ-CD3 complex on the thymus cell surface, and regulated their internalization and recycling. ZAP70, Lck, Phospholipase C gamma1(PLCγ1), and other proteins were observed to be reduced in PTPN22 CS mouse thymocytes. In summary, PTPN22 regulates TCR internalization and recycling via the modulation of the TCR signaling pathway and affects TCR expression on the T cell surface to regulate negative and positive selection. PTPN22 affected the development of the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and other peripheral immune organs in mice. Our study demonstrated that PTPN22 plays a crucial role in T cell development and provides a theoretical basis for immune system construction.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22 inhibits T cell activation by dephosphorylating some essential proteins in the T cell receptor-mediated signalling pathway, and its negative regulatory function protects organisms from autoimmune disease. 14-3-3τ is an adaptor protein that regulates target protein function through its intracellular localization. In the present study, we determined that PTPN22 binds to 14-3-3τ via the PTPN22-Ser640 phosphorylation side. PTPN22 binding to 14-3-3τ resulted in 14-3-3τ-Tyr179 dephosphorylation, and reduced the association between 14-3-3τ and Shc, which competitively increased 14-3-3ζ binding to Shc and activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) by bringing it to the membrane. In addition, PTPN22 decreased the tyrosine phosphorylation of p110 to activate PI3K. These two pathways cooperatively affect PI3K activity and the expression of PI3K downstream proteins, such as phosphorylated Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin and forkhead box O1, which inhibited the expression of some proinflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interferon-γ and tumour necrosis factor-α. Our research provides a preliminary theory for PTPN22 regulating T cell activation, development and immune response via the PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway and brings new information for clarifying the functions of PTPN22 in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases function in dephosphorylating target proteins to regulate signaling pathways that control a broad spectrum of fundamental physiological and pathological processes. Detailed knowledge concerning the roles of classical PTPs in human cancer merits in-depth investigation. We comprehensively analyzed the regulatory mechanisms and clinical relevance of classical PTPs in more than 9000 tumor patients across 33 types of cancer. The independent datasets and functional experiments were employed to validate our findings. We exhibited the extensive dysregulation of classical PTPs and constructed the gene regulatory network in human cancer. Moreover, we characterized the correlation of classical PTPs with both drug-resistant and drug-sensitive responses to anti-cancer drugs. To evaluate the PTP activity in cancer prognosis, we generated a PTPscore based on the expression and hazard ratio of classical PTPs. Our study highlights the notable role of classical PTPs in cancer biology and provides novel intelligence to improve potential therapeutic strategies based on pTyr regulation.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN22 negatively modulates platelet function and thrombus formation. Blood 2022; 140:1038-1051.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that negatively regulates T-cell signaling. However, whether it is expressed and functions in platelets remains unknown. Here we investigated the expression and role of PTPN22 in platelet function. We reported PTPN22 expression in both human and mouse platelets. Using PTPN22-/- mice, we showed that PTPN22 deficiency significantly shortened tail-bleeding time and accelerated arterial thrombus formation without affecting venous thrombosis and the coagulation factors VIII and IX. Consistently, PTPN22-deficient platelets exhibited enhanced platelet aggregation, granule secretion, calcium mobilization, lamellipodia formation, spreading, and clot retraction. Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis revealed the significant difference of phosphodiesterase 5A (PDE5A) phosphorylation in PTPN22-deficient platelets compared with wild-type platelets after collagen-related peptide stimulation, which was confirmed by increased PDE5A phosphorylation (Ser92) in collagen-related peptide-treated PTPN22-deficient platelets, concomitant with reduced level and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation (Ser157/239). In addition, PTPN22 interacted with phosphorylated PDE5A (Ser92) and dephosphorylated it in activated platelets. Moreover, purified PTPN22 but not the mutant form (C227S) possesses intrinsic serine phosphatase activity. Furthermore, inhibition of PTPN22 enhanced human platelet aggregation, spreading, clot retraction, and increased PDE5A phosphorylation (Ser92). In conclusion, our study shows a novel role of PTPN22 in platelet function and arterial thrombosis, identifying new potential targets for future prevention of thrombotic or cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Since tyrosine phosphorylation is reversible and dynamic in vivo, the phosphorylation state of proteins is controlled by the opposing roles of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPs), both of which perform critical roles in signal transduction. Of these, intracellular non-receptor PTPs (PTPNs), which belong to the largest class I cysteine PTP family, are essential for the regulation of a variety of biological processes, including but not limited to hematopoiesis, inflammatory response, immune system, and glucose homeostasis. Additionally, a substantial amount of PTPNs have been identified to hold crucial roles in tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance, and inhibitors of PTPNs have promising applications due to striking efficacy in antitumor therapy. Hence, the aim of this review is to summarize the role played by PTPNs, including PTPN1/PTP1B, PTPN2/TC-PTP, PTPN3/PTP-H1, PTPN4/PTPMEG, PTPN6/SHP-1, PTPN9/PTPMEG2, PTPN11/SHP-2, PTPN12/PTP-PEST, PTPN13/PTPL1, PTPN14/PEZ, PTPN18/PTP-HSCF, PTPN22/LYP, and PTPN23/HD-PTP, in human cancer and immunotherapy and to comprehensively describe the molecular pathways in which they are implicated. Given the specific roles of PTPNs, identifying potential regulators of PTPNs is significant for understanding the mechanisms of antitumor therapy. Consequently, this work also provides a review on the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating PTPNs in tumorigenesis and progression, which may help us to find effective therapeutic agents for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) regulates a panoply of leukocyte signaling pathways. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in PTPN22, rs2476601, is associated with increased risk of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases. Over the past decade PTPN22 has been studied intensely in T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. However, the effect of the minor allele on PTPN22 function in TCR signaling is controversial with some reports concluding it has enhanced function and blunts TCR signaling and others reporting it has reduced function and increases TCR signaling. More recently, the core function of PTPN22 as well as functional derangements imparted by the autoimmunity-associated variant allele of PTPN22 have been examined in monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. In this review we will discuss the known functions of PTPN22 in human cells, and we will elaborate on how autoimmunity-associated variants influence these functions across the panoply of immune cells that express PTPN22. Further, we consider currently unresolved questions that require clarification on the role of PTPN22 in immune cell function.

Abstract
Background: We recently discovered autism/intellectual disability somatic mutations in postmortem brains, presenting higher frequency in Alzheimer’s disease subjects, compared with the controls. We further revealed high impact cytoskeletal gene mutations, coupled with potential cytoskeleton-targeted repair mechanisms. Objective: The current study was aimed at further discerning if somatic mutations in brain diseases are presented only in the most affected tissue (the brain), or if blood samples phenocopy the brain, toward potential diagnostics. Methods: Variant calling analyses on an RNA-seq database including peripheral blood samples from 85 soldiers (58 controls and 27 with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD) was performed. Results: High (e.g., protein truncating) as well as moderate impact (e.g., single amino acid change) germline and putative somatic mutations in thousands of genes were found. Further crossing the mutated genes with autism, intellectual disability, cytoskeleton, inflammation, and DNA repair databases, identified the highest number of cytoskeletal-mutated genes (187 high and 442 moderate impact). Most of the mutated genes were shared and only when crossed with the inflammation database, more putative high impact mutated genes specific to the PTSD-symptom cohorts versus the controls (14 versus 13) were revealed, highlighting tumor necrosis factor specifically in the PTSD-symptom cohorts. Conclusion: With microtubules and neuro-immune interactions playing essential roles in brain neuroprotection and Alzheimer-related neurodegeneration, the current mutation discoveries contribute to mechanistic understanding of PTSD and brain protection, as well as provide future diagnostics toward personalized military deployment strategies and drug design.
