Project description:Foxp3+ T-regulatory cells (Tregs) are key to immune homeostasis such that their diminished numbers or function can cause autoimmunity and allograft rejection. Foxp3+ Tregs express histone/protein deacetylases (HDACs) that regulate chromatin remodeling, gene expression and protein function. Pan-HDAC inhibitors developed for oncology enhance Treg production and suppression but have limited non-oncologic applications given their broad effects. We show, using HDAC6-deficient mice and WT mice treated with HDAC6-specific inhibitors, that HDAC6 inhibition promotes Treg suppressive activity in models of inflammation and autoimmunity, including multiple forms of experimental colitis and fully MHC-incompatible cardiac allograft rejection. Many of the beneficial effects of HDAC6 targeting are also achieved by inhibition of the HDAC6-regulated protein, HSP90. Hence, selective targeting of a single HDAC isoform, HDAC6, or its downstream target, HSP90, can promote Treg-dependent suppression of autoimmunity and transplant rejection.

Project description:The proposed use of Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells as potential cellular therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases, or post-hemopoietic stem cell or organ transplantation, requires a sound understanding of the transcriptional regulation of Foxp3 expression. Conserved CpG dinucleotides in the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) upstream of Foxp3 are demethylated only in stable, thymic-derived Foxp3+ Tregs. Since methyl-binding domain (Mbd) proteins recruit histone-modifying and chromatin-remodeling complexes to methylated sites, we tested whether targeting of Mbd2 might promote demethylation of Foxp3 and thereby promote Treg numbers or function. Surprisingly, while ChIP analysis showed Mbd2 binding to the Foxp3-associated TSDR site in Tregs, Mbd2 targeting by homologous recombination or siRNA decreased Treg numbers and impaired Treg suppressive function in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found complete TSDR demethylation in WT Tregs but >75% methylation in Mbd2-/- Tregs, whereas re-introduction of Mbd2 into Mbd2-null Tregs restored TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 gene expression and Treg suppressive function. Lastly, Mbd2-/- Tregs had markedly binding of the DNA demethylase enzyme, Tet2, in the TSDR region. These data show that Mbd2 has a key role in promoting TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 expression and Treg suppressive function.

Project description:Foxp3 expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the central regulator of immune homeostasis and tolerance. As it is believed that proper Treg function is compromised under inflammatory conditions, exploring a pathway that enhances Treg function is of great importance. In this study, we report that IL-27, an IL-12 family cytokine known to play both pro- and anti-inflammatory role in T cells, plays a pivotal role in Treg function to control T cell-induced colitis. Unlike WT Tregs capable of inhibiting colitogenic T cell expansion and inflammatory cytokine expression, IL-27R-deficient Tregs were unable to downregulate inflammatory T cell responses. Tregs stimulated with IL-27 expressed substantially enhanced suppressive function both in vitro and in vivo. IL-27 stimulation of Tregs induced expression of LAG3, a surface molecule implicated in negatively regulating immune responses. LAG3 expression in IL-27-stimulated Tregs was critical to mediate suppressive Treg function. Finally, human Tregs also displayed enhanced suppressive function and LAG3 expression in response to IL-27 stimulation. Taken together, our results highlight a novel function of the IL-27/LAG3 axis in Treg regulation of inflammatory responses in the intestine. FACS purified Foxp3+ Tregs were stimulated in the presence of media or IL-27 to compare IL-27 induced gene profiles. Four samples (media stimulated or IL-27-stimulated) were collected from four independent experiments. Genes altered by IL-27 treatment were compared to those of media stimulated Tregs.

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway integrates diverse environmental inputs, including immune signals and metabolic cues, to direct T cell fate decisions1. Activation of mTOR, comprised of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, delivers an obligatory signal for proper activation and differentiation of effector CD4+ T cells2,3, whereas in the regulatory T cell (Treg) compartment, the Akt-mTOR axis is widely acknowledged as a crucial negative regulator of Treg de novo differentiation4-8 and population expansion9. However, whether mTOR signaling affects the homeostasis and function of Tregs remains largely unexplored. Here we show that mTORC1 signaling is a pivotal positive determinant of Treg function. Tregs have elevated steady-state mTORC1 activity compared to naïve T cells. Signals via T cell receptor (TCR) and IL-2 provide major inputs for mTORC1 activation, which in turn programs suppressive function of Tregs. Disruption of mTORC1 through Treg-specific deletion of the essential component Raptor leads to a profound loss of Treg suppressive activity in vivo and development of a fatal early-onset inflammatory disorder. Mechanistically, Raptor/mTORC1 signaling in Tregs promotes cholesterol/lipid metabolism, with the mevalonate pathway particularly important for coordinating Treg proliferation and upregulation of suppressive molecules CTLA-4 and ICOS to establish Treg functional competency. In contrast, mTORC1 does not directly impact the expression of Foxp3 or anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines in Tregs, suggesting a non-conventional mechanism for Treg functional regulation. Lastly, we provide evidence that mTORC1 maintains Treg function partly through inhibiting the mTORC2 pathway. Our results demonstrate that mTORC1 acts as a fundamental ‘rheostat’ in Tregs to link immunological signals from TCR and IL-2 to lipogenic pathways and functional fitness, and highlight a central role of metabolic programming of Treg suppressive activity in immune homeostasis and tolerance. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in regulatory T-cells from wild-type and CD4(cre) x Raptor(fl/fl) mice

Project description:The therapeutic use of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with autoimmune disorders has been hampered by the biological variability of memory Treg populations in the peripheral blood. In this study, we reveal through a combination of quantitative proteomic, multiparametric flow cytometry, RNA-seq data analysis and functional assays, that CD49f is heterogeneously expressed among human Tregs and impacts their immunomodulatory function. High expression of CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional Tregs in the human blood characterized by a Th17-like phenotype and impaired suppressive capacity. CD49f is similarly distributed between naïve and memory Tregs and impacts the expression of CD39, CTLA-4, FoxP3 and CCR6 specifically in the memory compartment. Accumulation of CD49f high memory Tregs in the blood of ulcerative colitis patients correlates with disease severity. Our results highlight important considerations for Treg immunotherapy design in patients with inflammatory bowel disease which could possibly extend to other autoimmune disorders.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are proposed to restrain anti-tumor T cell responses either directly or by suppression of antigen-presenting cells and can act in a tissue-specific manner. Treg abundance is typically reported as a measure of suppression, without consideration of Treg functional quality. Here, we find that Tregs suppress type 1 conventional dendritic cells (DC1) and thereby induce dysfunctional CD8+ T cell responses against lung cancer. This immunoregulatory effect is spatially coordinated within tissue-specific lymph node microniches and requires antigen-specific contact between DC1 and Tregs. Suppressive clonally expanded TH1-like effector Tregs were differentially induced in the lung lymph node in response to tissue-specific levels of interferon-gamma. In cancer patients, TH1-like Tregs but not CD8+/Treg ratios correlate with poor responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Thus, Tregs that adopt the interferon-gamma-dependent TH1-like effector state have increased potential to restrain tumor-reactive T cell responses and represent a critical barrier to productive anti-tumor immunity.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in the maintenance of immunological self-tolerance. Naïve human or murine T cell treatment with the inhibitory cytokine IL35 induces a regulatory population, termed iTR35, that mediates suppression via IL35, but not IL10 or TGFβ, neither express nor require Foxp3, are strongly suppressive in five in vivo models, and exhibit in vivo stability. Treg-mediated suppression induces iTR35 generation in an IL35- and IL10-dependent manner in vitro, and in inflammatory conditions in vivo in Trichuris-infected intestines and within the tumor microenvironment, where they appear to contribute to the regulatory milieu. iTR35 may constitute a key mediator of infectious tolerance and may contribute to Treg-mediated tumor progression, and ex vivo-generated iTR35 may possess therapeutic utility. Five IL35-treated samples, in parallel with 5 control-treated samples, were compared to 3 Treg and 3 Tconv cell samples.

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells are essential for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing excessive immune responses. In the context of Th1 immune responses, co-expression of the Th1 transcription factor T-bet with Foxp3 is essential for Treg cells to control Th1 responses. T-bet-dependent expression of CXCR3 directs Tregs to the site of inflammation, however, the suppressive mediators enabling effective control of Th1 responses at this site are unknown. In this study, we determined the signature of CXCR3+ Treg cells arising in Th1 settings and defined universal features of Treg cells in this context using multiple Th1-dominated models. Our analysis defined a set of Th1-specific co-inhibitory receptors that are specifically expressed in Treg cells during Th1 immune responses. Among these, we identified the novel co-inhibitory receptor CD85k as a functional mediator of the enhanced suppression of Th1 effector cells by CXCR3+ Treg cells.

Project description:A common method used both in vitro and in vivo, to identify Tregs in CD4+ T cells is through the characterization of surface marker CD25. Although CD25 expression is well correlated with regulatory activity in vitro, CD4+CD25+ T cells are not the only regulatory CD4+ T cells in vivo. Studies suggest that in many situations, CD4+CD25M-bM-^@M-^S T cells are as effective as CD4+CD25+ T cells in controlling T cell mediated disease. Therefore, CD25 is not a uniquely specific cell surface marker for the identification of Tregs. CD49f is an M-NM-16-integrin subunit which dimerizes with either the M-NM-2 1 or M-NM-2 4 subunit to form receptors for various laminin isoforms. We found that CD4+ T cells from NOD mice express CD49f, and old non-diabetic NOD mice had an increase of CD4+CD49f+ T cells in the spleen and peripheral lymph node when compared to both young and diabetic mice. This study was conducted to further characterize CD4+CD49f+ Treg cell subpopulation in NOD mice. It was found that CD4+CD49f+T cells possess suppressive ability and only one third of CD4+CD49f+ T cells expressing CD25. Based on the expression of CD49f and CD25, CD4+ T cells was divided into four populations , CD25+CD49f+ ,CD25+CD49f- ,CD25-CD49f+ but CD25-CD49f- are of suppressive ability, and we further found that Foxp3 expression was highly correlated with the suppressive ability of these three Treg populations. In conclusion our data indicate that CD49f marks a CD4+ CD25+ Treg subset with more potent suppression activity and identifies a CD25-CD4+ T cell population with suppression function in a Foxp3+ expression dependent manner. We divided CD4+ T cells into four populations: CD25+CD49f+, CD25+CD49f-, CD25-CD49f+, CD25-CD49f-; Microarray technology was used to determine gene expression differences among these four groups.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress other immune cells and are indispensable for human health, yet the molecular mechanisms of suppression remain incompletely understood. Tregs can suppress proliferation and cytokine production of CD4+CD25- conventional T cells (Tcons). We previously demonstrated that human Tregs rapidly suppress T cell receptor (TCR)-induced calcium, NFAT and NF-κB pathways in Tcons, leading to inhibition of effector cytokine transcription (Schmidt A et al., Science Signaling 2011 Dec 20;4(204):ra90. doi: 10.1126/scisignal.2002179). Due to the short time period required to induce suppression, it is probable that Tregs alter protein modifications, such as (de)phosphorylations, in suppressed Tcons to cause this inhibition of particular TCR signaling events, while de novo production of repressor proteins seems unlikely. Thus, in order to identify causative factors which initiate rapid Treg-mediated suppression of Tcons, we compared phosphoproteomes of 5 minutes TCR-stimulated responder Tcons re-isolated from cocultures with primary human Tregs with those from control cocultures (Tcons cocultured with other Tcons). In addition, we measured the basal state of the phosphoproteome in unstimulated Tcon of the same donors. In total, we provide phosphoproteomics data of primary human CD4+CD25- T cells from three human healthy donors each for (i) unstimulated Tcons, (ii) 5 minutes TCR-stimulated Tcons, (iii) 5 minutes TCR-stimulated and Treg-suppressed Tcons.
