ABSTRACT |
T lymphocyte activation is highlighted by the
induction of interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene expression, which governs much
of the early lymphocyte proliferation responses. Peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR ) is a member of the
nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors.
PPAR mRNA expression was found in human peripheral blood T
lymphocytes, raising the possibility of PPAR involvement in the
regulation of T cell function. Here we show that PPAR ligands,
troglitazone and 15-deoxy- 12,14 prostaglandin
J2, but not PPAR agonist Wy14643, inhibited IL-2 production and phytohemagglutinin-inducible proliferation in human peripheral blood T-cells in a dose-dependent manner. This
inhibitory effect on IL-2 was restricted to the PPAR 2-expressing,
not the PPAR -lacking, subpopulation of transfected Jurkat cells. The activated PPAR physically associates with transcriptional factor NFAT regulating the IL-2 promoter, blocking NFAT DNA binding and transcriptional activity. This interaction with T-cell-specific transcription factors indicates an important immunomodulatory role for
PPAR in T lymphocytes and could suggest a previously unrecognized
clinical potential for PPAR ligands as immunotherapeutic drugs to
treat T-cell-mediated diseases by targeting IL-2 gene expression.
 |
INTRODUCTION |
T-cell activation is a key step in the initiation of an
immunological response. An activating stimulus initiates a complex signaling cascade, resulting in cell proliferation and secretion of
cytokines that enhance the immune response (1, 2). Interleukin-2 (IL-2)1 plays a key role in
controlling T-cell proliferation, and consequently, numerous studies
have focused on understanding IL-2 gene regulation (2). Peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors and
members of the nuclear receptor superfamily (3). To date, three
different PPARs, named PPAR , PPAR , and PPAR , have been
identified in mammalian cells. PPAR is primarily involved in the
regulation of genes related to lipid metabolism and plays a role in
adipocyte differentiation (4, 5). However, in higher organisms, the
widespread tissue distribution of PPAR (6) suggests an involvement
of the nuclear receptor in multiple biological processes. Recent
findings have indicated that PPAR is a negative regulator of
macrophage activation and inhibits production of monocyte inflammatory
cytokines (7, 8). It is well known that the activation of T lymphocytes
is much different from monocytes because it proceeds by the initial
activation of transcription factors that ultimately fulfill the
biological amplification of the immune response. Although PPAR
mRNA is expressed in human peripheral blood T lymphocytes (9),
nothing is known about the physiologic regulation of PPAR in T-cell
activation. Here we demonstrate that the activated PPAR physically
associates with the T-cell specific transcriptional factor NFAT and
blocks NFAT DNA binding and transcriptional activity. Ultimately, the transcription and production of the vital T-cell cytokine IL-2 is blocked.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES |
Cell Culture--
Fresh human peripheral blood T lymphocytes
obtained from normal healthy donors (10) and Jurkat T cells were
maintained as described (9, 10).
Proliferation Assays--
T cells (5 × 104/well) were plated in 96-well microtiter plates in the
presence or absence of PHA (1 µg/ml). Cells were treated for 72 h with troglitazone (Parke-Davis), 15d-PGJ2 (Calbiochem), or Wy14643 (Biomol) and pulsed for the remaining 4 h of the assay with [3H]thymidine (0.5 µCi/200 µl). The
incorporation was analyzed by liquid scintillation counting.
IL-2 Measured by ELISA--
T cells were grown to approximately
2.5 × 106 cells/ml and treated with PHA/PMA in the
presence or absence of the different ligands. Cell supernatants were
collected and assayed for human IL-2 using Endogen kits (Wolburn).
Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA)--
The
sequences of the oligonucleotides (5' to 3') used as probes were
AATTGGAGGAAAAACTGTTTCATACAGAAGGCGT (NFATwt),
AATTGGACCTCCCACTGTTTCATACAGAAGGCGT (NFATmt), and
ATTGGATCGGGGCGG GGCGAGC (Sp-1). The EMSA was performed as
described (11).
Ribonuclease Protection Assays--
Total RNA was isolated using
TriZOL (Life Technologies, Inc.) and a RNase protection assay was
performed as described (11). 20 µg of RNA was hybridized with
33P-labeled probes corresponding to IL-2 (Pharmingen).
Transient Transfection--
Transient transfections of Jurkat T
cells were performed using DEAE-dextran methods (11). After 24 h
of transfection, cells were treated with or without different ligands
for an additional 24 h in the presence or absence of PHA/PMA.
Flow Cytometry and Sterile Cell Sorting--
Cell sorting for
green fluorescent protein (GFP) and propidium iodide fluorescence were
performed (12) using a FACStar Plus (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA)
with INNOVA 70-4 argon laser.
Luciferase Assays--
The transfected cells were pelleted,
lysed, and measured by a luminometer (Monolight 3010, Pharmingen)
according to the manufacturer's instruction.
Co-immunoprecipitation Assays--
Cells were lysed in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, and 0.5% Nonidet P-40. Immunoprecipitation was
carried out using polyclonal anti-PPAR antibodies (Santa Cruz).
Western blot was performed as described (11).
 |
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION |
To determine whether PPAR interferes with T lymphocyte
activation, we investigated the effect of the PPAR ligands on
PHA-mediated T-cell proliferation and IL-2 production. Human peripheral
blood T cells were stimulated by PHA and cultured with various
concentrations of different ligands for 72 h. As shown in Fig.
1A, the specific PPAR
agonist of the thiazolidinedione family, troglitazone (13), completely
abolished PHA-inducible [3H]thymidine incorporation in a
dose-dependent manner. Similar effects were observed in the
presence of 15d-PGJ2 (14), which is a natural PPAR
ligand. By contrast, the PPAR -specific ligand Wy14643 did not
inhibit PHA-mediated T-cell proliferation. Furthermore, PHA/PMA-induced
IL-2 synthesis assayed by ELISA was also restricted by the co-addition
of troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1B).

concentration of IL-2 released into the medium was determined by ELISA.

ligands inhibit PHA/PMA-inducible IL-2 mRNA expression in human T
cells. Cells were stimulated by PHA/PMA and treated with troglitazone
(25 µM), 15d-PGJ2 (10 µM), or
dimethyl sulfoxide. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to analysis by
RNase protection assay for expression of human IL-2 or L32 control
genes using 33P-labeled probe.
|
|
Because the induction of IL-2 gene expression is a pivotal event in
early T lymphocyte activation, we next performed RNase protection
assays of human peripheral blood T cells stimulated with PHA/PMA in the
presence or absence of troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2. Total RNA
was isolated and probed for IL-2 mRNA. As shown in Fig. 1C, IL-2 mRNA steady-state levels were detected as early
as 6 h and strongly increased after 12 h of PHA/PMA
stimulation. Treatment with troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2
totally abrogated expression of IL-2 mRNA. The quantification of
decreased IL-2 mRNA levels was performed by normalizing
densitometric traces against L32 mRNA. The IL-2 transcript was
reduced by greater than 90% as compared with controls, suggesting that
PPAR ligands blocked transcription of the IL-2 gene.
Because transfection efficiency of circulating human T cells is very
poor, we chose to use the human T cell line Jurkat that expresses
little detectable PPAR mRNA (9) as a model system to directly
assess the actual role of PPAR expression in the PPAR
ligand-induced inhibitory effects on T lymphocyte activation. The
Jurkat cells were transfected with PPAR 2 wild type expression vector
(pSG5hPPAR 2) (15) or control pSG5 plasmid. For this study, we used
GFP as a cotransfected biomarker to simplify the selection of
transfected target cells (13) by FACS sorting and assay for IL-2
production. As shown in Fig.
2A, PPAR ligands troglitazone and 15d-PGJ2 inhibited IL-2 production only in
the PPAR 2-expressing, but not in PPAR 2-nonexpressing,
subpopulation of transfected Jurkat cells. Interestingly, Wy14643 did
not also show this inhibitory effect. Thus, from the data presented, it is clear that such inhibitory effects on T-cell activation are mediated
by PPAR .

Troglitazone and 15d-PGJ2 inhibit
transcription and production of IL-2 in transfected Jurkat T cells in a
PPAR -dependent manner.
A, Jurkat cells were transfected with either control vector
(pSG5) or PPAR 2 wild type expression vector (pSG5hPPAR 2) and
co-transfected with pEGFPC1 plasmid. Transfected target cells were
sorted by FACS and then assayed for IL-2 production. B,
upper panel, Jurkat cells were co-transfected with a
PPAR -expression plasmid (+PPAR 2) or control
DNA ( PPAR 2) and a PPRE reporter gene
(AOx-TK). Cells were treated with 15d-PGJ2 or troglitazone
for an additional 24 h. The luciferase activity was determined.
Lower panel, Jurkat cells were co-transfected with an IL-2
promoter-luciferase reporter plasmid and a PPAR expression plasmid
(+PPAR ) or control DNA ( PPAR ). Cells were treated with ligands,
stimulated by PHA/PMA, and collected for analysis of reporter gene
activity 24 h later.

To verify that the human PPAR 2 cDNA is capable of activating
gene transcription through a PPRE in human T cells, we introduced a
PPAR 2 expression vector (pSG5hPPAR 2) together with a PPRE-driven luciferase reporter construct (AOx-TK) (14) into Jurkat T cells. Fig.
2B (upper panel) shows that activation of a
PPAR-dependent promoter required co-expression of PPAR
in Jurkat T cells. Upon addition of the PPAR ligand troglitazone or
15d-PGJ2, luciferase activity was significantly increased
corresponding to overexpression of PPAR . To determine whether
changes in IL-2 mRNA levels can be ascribed, at least in part, to
differences in promoter activity, Jurkat T cells were co-transfected
with IL-2 luciferase reporter constructs and a PPAR expression
plasmid. PMA/PHA treatment resulted in a marked increase in IL-2
promoter activity. Lack of PPAR expression rendered the Jurkat cells
unresponsive to the inhibitory effects of troglitazone and
15d-PGJ2 on PHA/PMA-induced IL-2 promoter activation (Fig.
2B, lower panel). However, this effect was
restored by transfection of PPAR . These data suggest that the
inhibitory effects of troglitazone and 15d-PGJ2 on IL-2
promoter activity are directly dependent on the expression and
activation of PPAR .
The transcription factor NFAT plays an essential role in IL-2
gene expression. NF-ATc1 is also involved in the proliferation of
peripheral T lymphocytes (16). Therefore, we evaluated transcriptional activity and DNA binding of NFAT to determine whether NFAT might be a
target for negative regulation of T-cell activation by PPAR ligands.
As shown in Fig. 3A, the
specific binding of NFAT probe corresponding to the human IL-2 promoter
is strongly induced by PHA/PMA, whereas equivalent nuclear extracts
from troglitazone- or 15d-PGJ2-treated cells displayed
diminished binding capacity to the 32P-radiolabeled probes.
Moreover, the inhibitory effect of PPAR ligands on NF- B and AP-1
DNA-binding activities was also observed in T cells activated by
PHA/PMA (data not shown). In contrast, the DNA binding of Sp-1 (17) was
unaffected by troglitazone and 15d-PGJ2 (Fig.
3B). The EMSA data obtained correlated with the effect of
PPAR ligands on the transcriptional activity analyzed by a reporter
construct directed by the NFAT distal site of the IL-2 promoter. The
transcriptional activation of the above reporter construct was
abrogated by troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 in the presence of
PPAR overexpression (Fig. 3C). Thus, one conceivable
explanation for the repression of IL-2 transcription in troglitazone-
or 15d-PGJ2-treated cells could be due to selective
disruption of the transcriptional regulation of the IL-2 promoter.

induced by PHA/PMA in human peripheral blood T cells as demonstrated by
EMSA. Cells were treated with dimethyl sulfoxide-control or
troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 and incubated with medium ( ) or
PHA/PMA (+) for 2 h at 37 °C. Nuclear extracts (5 µg) were
incubated with a 32P-labeled probe. Arrow
indicates migrational location of each DNA complex. Excess amounts of
unlabeled oligonucleotides containing wild type (wt) or
mutated (mt) NFAT sites were used as competitors to test for
specificity of DNA complex. Antibodies against NFAT supershifted the
protein-DNA complex. C, Jurkat cells were co-transfected
with a reporter construct directed by the NFAT distal site of the IL-2
promoter and either a PPAR -wild type (+PPAR ) or
control DNA plasmid ( PPAR ). Cells were treated with
different ligands, stimulated by PHA/PMA as shown, and collected for
analysis of reporter gene activity 24 h later.

Next we focused our attention on how functional co-association of
PPAR with transcription factors NFAT might mediate T-cell suppression. We tested for complex formation between PPAR and NFAT in a co-immunoprecipitation experiment. Fresh human peripheral blood T cells were induced by PMA/PHA and treated with troglitazone or
15d-PGJ2. Cell extracts were prepared and
immunoprecipitated with a PPAR -specific antibody; immunoprecipitates
were developed on Western blots with an NFATc1-specific antibody. As
shown in Fig. 4, The NFATc1 complex can
be co-precipitated with PPAR in cells induced by PMA/PHA and
troglitazone or 15d-PGJ2. Furthermore, the addition of
anti-PPAR antibody induced high affinity binding of extracts to the
NFAT probes as determined by EMSA (data not shown), demonstrating that
removal of PPAR with this antiserum increases the target specificity
of NFAT. These data indicate that a direct physical protein-protein
interaction occurs between nuclear receptor PPAR and transcription
factors NFAT.

Recent studies have provided insights into the mechanisms by which
steroid nuclear receptors regulate cytokine genes (18). Corticosteroids
may bind directly as a dimer to regulatory sequences (GRE) in target
gene promoters and subsequently affect activation of transcription.
Dexamethasone has also been shown to inhibit the IL-2 promoter by
interference with AP-1. The current model of dexamethasone inhibition
has demonstrated a physical interaction between corticosteroid receptor
and NF- B. In the case of PPAR , a non-steroid nuclear receptor, it
has been reported that PPAR agonists specifically inhibit expression
of tumor necrosis factor through inhibition of tumor necrosis
factor promoter activity in monocytes (9). However, no physical
co-precipitation of PPAR with other transcription factors was shown.
The data presented here demonstrate that PPAR ligands suppress
transactivation of IL-2 via down-regulation of the IL-2 promoter in a
PPAR -dependent manner. The transcriptional regulation of
the IL-2 gene has been analyzed extensively at the level of the IL-2
promoter. cis-Acting elements for several transcription
factors have been identified within this regulatory region. The factors
that bind to these motifs include NFAT, AP-1, and NF- B proteins.
Also, a binding site for Sp-1 has been identified immediately upstream
of the distal NFAT site. Our data show that PPAR ligands selectively block DNA binding and transcriptional activation of transcription factors such as NFAT regulating the IL-2 promoter in T cells.
From our data, PPAR down-regulates the IL-2 promoter by a novel
mechanism that involves protein-protein interactions. As shown in Fig.
4, formation of a molecular complex between PPAR and NFAT may occur
in T cells, which could block PHA/PMA-induced DNA binding and
transactivation. Although we have focused on the interaction between
NFAT and PPAR , we cannot exclude the possibility that PPAR
interaction with AP-1 or NF- B may also play an important role in
blocking IL-2 gene transcription. However, activation and function of
NFAT is an absolute requirement for IL-2 transcription.
Taken together, these data provided the evidence that the inhibitory
role of PPAR in the immunomodulation of T lymphocytes is based on
functional interaction between PPAR and T-cell-specific transcription factors. Such a model could highlight the importance of
transcriptional cross-talk in T-cell biology and may lead to a new
molecular class of immunomodulators. PPAR ligands may be of
therapeutic value in human T-cell-mediated diseases by targeting IL-2
gene expression.
