The differentiation of naive CD4(+) T cells into distinct lineages plays critical roles in mediating adaptive immunity or maintaining immune tolerance. In addition to being a first line of defense, the innate immune system also actively instructs adaptive immunity through antigen presentation and immunoregulatory cytokine production. Here we found that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a type III histone deacetylase, plays an essential role in mediating proinflammatory signaling in dendritic cells (DCs), consequentially modulating the balance of proinflammatory T helper type 1 (T(H)1) cells and anti-inflammatory Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (T-reg cells). Genetic deletion of SIRT1 in DCs restrained the generation of T-reg cells while driving T(H)1 development, resulting in an enhanced T-cell-mediated inflammation against microbial responses. Beyond this finding, SIRT1 signaled through a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1 alpha)-dependent pathway, orchestrating the reciprocal T(H)1 and Treg lineage commitment through DC-derived IL-12 and TGF-beta 1. Our studies implicates a DC-based SIRT1-HIF1 alpha metabolic checkpoint in controlling T-cell lineage specification.
