RNA-seq data of lung resident T-cells from mice following house dust mite (HDM) sensitisation and subsequent influenza virus challenge

ABSTRACT: This data is from a murine model established to study the lasting impact of allergic airway sensitization on subsequent anti-viral memory T cell responses and the ability to develop protective immunity to reinfection. Animals were either sensitised by exposure to HDM or PBS and then subsequently exposed to influenza virus. Samples were collected at various time points for analysis of both CD8 and C4 positive tissue resident memory T cells.

Project description:Mechanisms by which regulatory T (Treg) cells fail to control inflammation in asthma remain poorly understood. We show that a severe asthma-associated polymorphism in the interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4RÎ±-R576) biases induced Treg (iTreg) cells towards a T helper 17 (TH17) cell fate. This skewing reflects the recruitment by IL-4RÎ±-R576 of the adaptor protein growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2), which drives IL-17 expression by an extracellular signal-regulated kinase-, IL-6- and STAT3-dependent mechanism. We showed that the IL-4RÎ±-R576 mutation elicits TH17 airway responses in vivo, in a house dust mite (HDM)- or ovalbumin (OVA)-driven model of airway inflammation in the mice carry the IL-4RÎ±-R576 mutation (Il4raR576 mice). Treg cell-specific deletion of genes encoding IL-6RÎ± or the master TH17 cell regulator Retinoid-related Orphan Receptor Î³t (RORÎ³t), but not IL-4 and IL-13, protected mice against exacerbated airway inflammation induced by IL-4RÎ±--576. Analysis of lung tissue Treg cells revealed that the expression of IL-17 and the TH17 cell-associated chemokine receptor CCR6 was largely overlapping and highly enriched in Treg and conventional T (Tconv) cells of allergen-treated Il4raR576 mice. To further characterize the subset of IL-17 producing Foxp3+ Treg in the lung of OVA-treated mice we utilized CCR6 as a marker of Treg cells committed towards the TH17 cell lineage to examine their functional, epigenetic and transcriptional profiles. CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Treg cells isolated from OVA-sensitized and challenged Il4raR576 mice, by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) exhibited decreased methylation of the Foxp3 CNS2 locus comparing to CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Treg cells from same animals, indicative of decreased stability. They also exhibited profoundly decreased suppressive function as compared to CCR6â WT and CCR6â Il4raR576 counterparts. Transcriptional profiling of CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Treg cells revealed increased relative expression in CCR6+ Il4raR576 Treg cells of genes associated with a TH17 cell signature, including Rorc, Ccr6, Il23r, Il17a, Il17f, Il1r1, Nr1d1, Cstl, and Ahr comparing to CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Treg cells from same animals. Three CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Il4raR576 replicates and four CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Il4raR576 Treg replicates (controls) were sampled
