LID - 10.7554/eLife.79957 [doi] LID - e79957 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in anti-tumor immunity by inducing T cell differentiation. Herein, we found that the DC mechanical sensor Piezo1 stimulated by mechanical stiffness or inflammatory signals directs the reciprocal differentiation of T(H)1 and regulatory T (T(reg)) cells in cancer. Genetic deletion of Piezo1 in DCs inhibited the generation of T(H)1 cells while driving the development of T(reg) cells in promoting cancer growth in mice. Mechanistically, Piezo1-deficient DCs regulated the secretion of the polarizing cytokines TGFbeta1 and IL-12, leading to increased TGFbetaR2-p-Smad3 activity and decreased IL-12Rbeta2-p-STAT4 activity while inducing the reciprocal differentiation of T(reg) and T(H)1 cells. In addition, Piezo1 integrated the SIRT1-hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1alpha)-dependent metabolic pathway and calcium-calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway to orchestrate reciprocal T(H)1 and T(reg) lineage commitment through DC-derived IL-12 and TGFbeta1. Our studies provide critical insight for understanding the role of the DC-based mechanical regulation of immunopathology in directing T cell lineage commitment in tumor microenvironments.
