摘要

The differentiation of Th17 and iTreg is tightly associated with fatty acid metabolism. TGFβ1-induced iTreg differentiation from Th0 relies on fatty acid oxidation (FAO), whereas IL-6 with TGFβ1 shifts metabolism to Th17-preferred fatty acid synthesis (FAS). However, how IL-6 reprograms fatty acid metabolism remains unclear. Here, we unveiled that TGFβ1-activated JNK is recruited to the Klhl25 promoter by NF-YA. JNK then phosphorylates histone H3 at Ser10 to activate Klhl25 transcription, leading to the ubiquitination-dependent degradation of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) and the switch from FAS to FAO, which supports iTreg generation. Whereas, upon IL-6 signaling, NF-YA is phosphorylated by ERK, losing its DNA binding ability, which shuts off TGFβ1-JNK-mediated Klhl25 transcription and ACLY ubiquitination, thereby increasing FAS and supporting Th17 differentiation. This study demonstrated that KLHL25-ACLY module functions as a switch in response to TGFβ1 and IL-6 signals, playing a decisive role in the fate determination of iTreg/Th17 differentiation.
