Abstract
Abstract
Fas, a member of the death receptor family, plays a central role in initiating cell death, a biological process crucial for immune homeostasis. However, the immunological and pathophysiological impacts to which enhanced Fas signaling gives rise remain to be fully understood. Here we demonstrate that TGF-β–activated kinase 1 (TAK1) works as a negative regulator of Fas signaling in macrophages. Upon Fas engagement with high concentrations of FasL, mouse primary macrophages underwent cell death, and, surprisingly, Fas stimulation led to proteolytic cleavage of gasdermin (GSDM) family members GSDMD and GSDME, a hallmark of pyroptosis, in a manner dependent on caspase enzymatic activity. Remarkably, TAK1-deficient macrophages were highly sensitive to even low concentrations of FasL. Mechanistically, TAK1 negatively modulated RIPK1 kinase activity to protect macrophages from excessive cell death. Intriguingly, mice deficient for TAK1 in macrophages (TAK1mKO mice) spontaneously developed tissue inflammation, and, more important, the emergence of inflammatory disease symptoms was markedly diminished in TAK1mKO mice harboring a catalytically inactive RIPK1. Taken together, these findings not only revealed an unappreciated role of TAK1 in Fas-induced macrophage death but provided insight into the possibility of perturbation of immune homeostasis driven by aberrant cell death.

TAK1 signaling activity links the mast cell cytokine response and degranulation in allergic inflammation. J Leukoc Biol 2020; 107:649-661.

Abstract
Mast cells drive the inappropriate immune response characteristic of allergic inflammatory disorders via release of pro-inflammatory mediators in response to environmental cues detected by the IgE-FcεRI complex. The role of TGF-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a participant in related signaling in other contexts, remains unknown in allergy. We detect novel activation of TAK1 at Ser412 in response to IgE-mediated activation under SCF-c-kit potentiation in a mast cell-driven response characteristic of allergic inflammation, which is potently blocked by TAK1 inhibitor 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (OZ). We, therefore, interrogated the role of TAK1 in a series of mast cell-mediated responses using IgE-sensitized murine bone marrow-derived mast cells, stimulated with allergen under several TAK1 inhibition strategies. TAK1 inhibition by OZ resulted in significant impairment in the phosphorylation of MAPKs p38, ERK, and JNK; and mediation of the NF-κB pathway via IκBα. Impaired gene expression and near abrogation in release of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF, IL-6, IL-13, and chemokines CCL1, and CCL2 was detected. Finally, a significant inhibition of mast cell degranulation, accompanied by an impairment in calcium mobilization, was observed in TAK1-inhibited cells. These results suggest that TAK1 acts as a signaling node, not only linking the MAPK and NF-κB pathways in driving the late-phase response, but also initiation of the degranulation mechanism of the mast cell early-phase response following allergen recognition and may warrant consideration in future therapeutic development.

Abstract
Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), composed of heterogeneous populations of lymphoid cells, contribute critically to immune surveillance at mucosal surfaces. ILC subsets develop from common lymphoid progenitors through stepwise lineage specification. However, the composition and temporal regulation of the transcription factor network governing such a process remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that deletion of the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF-2), known also for its importance in the maturation of conventional NK cells, resulted in an impaired generation of ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3 subsets with lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like cells hardly affected. In IRF-2-deficient mice, PD-1hi ILC precursors (ILCPs) that generate these three ILCs but not LTi-like cells were present at normal frequency, while their sub-population expressing high amounts of PLZF, another marker for ILCPs, was severely reduced. Notably, these IRF-2-deficient ILCPs contained normal quantities of PLZF-encoding Zbtb16 messages, and PLZF expression in developing invariant NKT cells within the thymus was unaffected in these mutant mice. These results point to a unique, cell-type selective role for IRF-2 in ILC development, acting at a discrete step critical for the generation of functionally competent ILCPs.

Abstract
The etiology and mechanisms for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are incompletely known. Determination of new, clinically important mechanisms for intestinal inflammation is imperative for developing effective therapies to treat IBD. We sought to define a widespread mechanism for colon mucosal inflammation via the activation of TGF‐β activated Kinase 1 (TAK1), a central regulator of cellular inflammatory actions. Activation of TAK1 and the downstream inflammatory signaling mediators was determined in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) as well as in DSS‐induced and spontaneous IBD in mice. The role of TAK1 in facilitating intestinal inflammation in murine models of IBD was investigated by using (5Z)‐7‐Oxozeaenol, a highly selective pharmacological inhibitor of TAK1. We found hyper‐activation of TAK1 in patients with UC or CD and in murine models of IBD. Pharmacological inhibition of TAK1 prevented loss in body weight, disease activity, microscopic histopathology, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon mucosa, and elevated proinflammatory cytokine production in two murine models of IBD. We demonstrated that at the early phase of the disease activation of TAK1 is restricted in the epithelial cells. However, at a more advanced stage of the disease, TAK1 activation predominantly occurs in nonepithelial cells, especially in macrophages. These findings elucidate the activation of TAK1 as crucial in promoting intestinal inflammation. Thus, the TAK1 activation pathway may represent a suitable target to design new therapies for treating IBD in humans.

Abstract
TCRαβ+CD4-CD8α+CD8β- intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (CD8αα IELs) are an abundant population of thymus-derived T cells that protect the gut barrier surface. We sought to better define the thymic IEL precursor (IELp) through analysis of its maturation, localization and emigration. We defined two precursor populations among TCRβ+CD4-CD8- thymocytes by dependence on the kinase TAK1 and rigorous lineage-exclusion criteria. Those IELp populations included a nascent PD-1+ population and a T-bet+ population that accumulated with age. Both gave rise to intestinal CD8αα IELs after adoptive transfer. The PD-1+ IELp population included more strongly self-reactive clones and was largely restricted by classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Those cells localized to the cortex and efficiently emigrated in a manner dependent on the receptor S1PR1. The T-bet+ IELp population localized to the medulla, included cells restricted by non-classical MHC molecules and expressed the receptor NK1.1, the integrin CD103 and the chemokine receptor CXCR3. The two IELp populations further differed in their use of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) α-chain variable region (Vα) and β-chain variable region (Vβ). These data provide a foundation for understanding the biology of CD8αα IELs.
