    Abstract Pathogenic Th17 cells are critically involved in many autoimmune diseases, while non-pathogenic Th17 cells are more immune regulatory. Understanding the mechanisms of the induction and maintenance of pathogenic Th17 cells will benefit the development of therapeutic treatments of related diseases. We have shown that the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) induced SKI degradation and dissociation from Smad4 complex is a prerequisite for TGFβ-induced Th17 cell differentiation. However, it is unclear whether and how SKI regulates pathogenic Th17 differentiation, which does not require TGFβ cytokine. Here we showed that SKI expression was downregulated during pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation and the ectopic expression of SKI abrogated the differentiation of pathogenic Th17 cells. Functionally, using a knock-in mouse model, we found ectopic SKI expression specifically in T cells prevented myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide (MOG

    Abstract GATA3 has conventionally been regarded as a transcription factor that drives the differentiation of T helper (Th) 2 cells. Increasing evidence points to a function for GATA3 beyond controlling Th2 differentiation. GATA3 regulates T cell development, proliferation, and maintenance. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated important roles for GATA3 in innate lymphoid cells. Thus, GATA3 emerges as a factor with diverse functions in immune regulation, which are in some cases cell-type specific and in others shared by multiple cell types. Here, I discuss recent discoveries and the current understanding of the functions of GATA3 in immune regulation.

    Abstract Th17 cells are essential for the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In the presence of TGF-β, the differentiation of Th17 cells can be induced by inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-6, which is mainly produced by antigen presenting cells (APCs); or IL-21, which is derived from T cells. IL-21 is required for IL-6-induced Th17 cell differentiation. However, the key regulators and underlying mechanisms for IL-21-induced Th17 differentiation is still elusive. Here we show that SMAD4 is a key regulator in IL-21-induced Th17 differentiation. SMAD4 deficient naïve T cells can differentiate into Th17 cells in the absence of TGF-β signaling, and these Th17 cells are pathogenic during EAE. SMAD4 represses Rorc mRNA transcription to constrain IL-21-induced Th17 differentiation in the absence of TGF-β signaling. While in the presence of TGF-β, SMAD4 losses its suppressive ability due to the degradation of SKI. Mutation of Y429A or A432E on SMAD4 disrupts the interaction of SKI from SMAD4 and eliminates SMAD4 mediated suppression of Th17 differentiation. SMAD4 is indispensable for SKI binding to Rorc promoter region to regulate Th17 differentiation. Moreover, activin can induce Th17 differentiation in combination with IL-21, and the process is also subjected to the control of SKI and SMAD4. This study therefore elucidates critical mechanism for IL-21-induced Th17 differentiation to indicate SKI and SMAD4 as potential therapeutic targets for treating autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Foxp3-expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) were originally identified as critical in maintaining self-tolerance and immune homeostasis. The immunosuppressive functions of Tregs are widely acknowledged and have been extensively studied. Recent studies have revealed many diverse roles of Tregs in shaping the immune system and the inflammatory response. This review will discuss our efforts as well as the efforts of others towards understanding the multifaceted function of Tregs in immune regulation.

    Abstract Tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of tumor cells, immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, etc. The immune system and the metabolisms of glucose, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides are integrated in the tumorigenesis and development. Cancer cells and immune cells show metabolic reprogramming in the TME, which intimately links immune cell functions and edits tumor immunology. Recent findings in immune cell metabolism hold the promising possibilities toward clinical therapeutics for treating cancer. This chapter introduces the updated understandings of metabolic reprogramming of immune cells in the TME and suggests new directions in manipulation of immune responses for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

    Abstract CD4 T helper cells (Th) are critical in combating pathogens and maintaining immune homeostasis. Since the establishment of the Th1-Th2 paradigm in the 1980s, many types of specialized Th cells, including Th1, Th2, Th17, Th9, follicular helper T and regulatory T, have been identified. We have become accustomed to the idea that different Th cells are 'committed' to their paths but recent emerging evidence suggests that under certain conditions, seemingly committed Th cells possess plasticity and may convert into other types of effector cells. In this review, we will first introduce the major sub-types of Th cells that are involved in immune regulation. Then, we will describe in detail the inter-convertibility of Th cells among different sub-types under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Finally, we will discuss our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms on how a particular type of Th cells may convert into other types of Th cells.
