Abstract
Healthy adipose tissue (AT) contains ST2(+) Tregs, ILC2s, and alternatively activated macrophages that are lost in mice or humans on high caloric diet. Understanding how this form of type 2 immunity is regulated could improve treatment of obesity. The STE20 kinase Thousand And One amino acid Kinase-3 (TAOK3) has been linked to obesity in mice and humans, but its precise function is unknown. We found that ST2(+) Tregs are upregulated in visceral epididymal white AT (eWAT) of Taok3(-/-) mice, dependent on IL-33 and the kinase activity of TAOK3. Upon high fat diet feeding, metabolic dysfunction was attenuated in Taok3(-/-) mice. ST2(+) Tregs disappeared from eWAT in obese wild-type mice, but this was not the case in Taok3(-/-) mice. Mechanistically, AT Taok3(-/-) Tregs were intrinsically more responsive to IL-33, through higher expression of ST2, and expressed more PPAR & gamma; and type 2 cytokines. Thus, TAOK3 inhibits adipose tissue Tregs and regulates immunometabolism under excessive caloric intake. Maes et al. reveal an unexpected role of TAOK3 in regulating ST2(+) regulatory T cells in mouse adipose tissue. Absence of TAOK3 sustains Tregs in obesity and improves metabolic dysfunction.
