| Abstract |
|
Extracellular acidification occurs in inflamed tissue and the tumor microenvironment; however, a systematic study on how pH sensing contributes to tissue homeostasis is lacking. Here, we examine cell type-specific roles of the pH sensor GPR65 and its inflammatory disease-associated I231L coding variant in inflammation control. GPR65 I231L knock-in mice are highly susceptible to both bacterial infection-induced and T cell-driven colitis. Mechanistically, GPR65 I231L elicits a cytokine imbalance through impaired Th17 and Th22 differentiation and IL-22 production in association with altered cellular metabolism controlled through the cAMP-CREB-DGAT1 axis. In dendritic cells, GPR65 I231L elevates IL-12 and IL-23 release at acidic pH and alters endo-lysosomal fusion and degradation capacity, resulting in enhanced antigen presentation. This study highlights GPR65 I231L as a multistep risk factor in intestinal inflammation and illuminates a mechanism by which pH sensing controls inflammatory circuits and tissue homeostasis.
