    Abstract Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are an integral part of the mammalian genome. The role of immune control of ERVs in general is poorly defined as is their function as anti-cancer immune targets or drivers of autoimmune disease. Here, we generate mouse-strains where Moloney-Murine Leukemia Virus tagged with GFP (ERV-GFP) infected the mouse germline. This enables us to analyze the role of genetic, epigenetic and cell intrinsic restriction factors in ERV activation and control. We identify an autoreactive B cell response against the neo-self/ERV antigen GFP as a key mechanism of ERV control. Hallmarks of this response are spontaneous ERV-GFP

    Abstract Apart from the constitutive proteasome, the immunoproteasome that comprises the three proteolytic subunits LMP2, MECL-1, and LMP7 is expressed in most immune cells. In this study, we describe opposing roles for immunoproteasomes in regulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). During chronic inflammation, immunoproteasomes modulated the expression of protumorigenic cytokines and chemokines and enhanced infiltration of innate immune cells, thus triggering the onset of colitis-associated carcinogenesis (CAC) in wild-type mice. Consequently, immunoproteasome-deficient animals (LMP2/MECL-1/LMP7-null mice) were almost completely resistant to CAC development. In patients with ulcerative colitis with high risk for CAC, immunoproteasome-induced protumorigenic mediators were upregulated. In melanoma tumors, the role of immunoproteasomes is relatively unknown. We found that high expression of immunoproteasomes in human melanoma was associated with better prognosis. Similarly, our data revealed that the immunoproteasome has antitumorigenic activity in a mouse model of melanoma. The antitumor immunity against melanoma was compromised in immunoproteasome-deficient mice because of the impaired activity of CD8

    Abstract Increased lactate levels in the tissue microenvironment are a well-known feature of chronic inflammation. However, the role of lactate in regulating T cell function remains controversial. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular lactate predominantly induces deregulation of the Th17-specific gene expression program by modulating the metabolic and epigenetic status of Th17 cells. Following lactate treatment, Th17 cells significantly reduced their IL-17A production and upregulated Foxp3 expression through ROS-driven IL-2 secretion. Moreover, we observed increased levels of genome-wide histone H3K18 lactylation, a recently described marker for active chromatin in macrophages, in lactate-treated Th17 cells. In addition, we show that high lactate concentrations suppress Th17 pathogenicity during intestinal inflammation in mice. These results indicate that lactate is capable of reprogramming pro-inflammatory T cell phenotypes into regulatory T cells.
