Transcription profiling of mouse HA specific T regulatory cells cultured in the presence of HA-pulsed dendritic cells and rhIL-2 with or without HA-specific T effector cells

ABSTRACT: Expanded HA-specific Thy-1.1 Tregs were cultured in the presence of HA-pulsed dendritic cells and rhIL-2 with or without HA-specific Teffs. After 5 days, Tregs were sorted by flow cytometry, based on the expression of the Thy-1.1 congeneic marker. Two biological duplicates were hybridized to the Sentrix BeadChips Array mouse WG-6 v2 (Illumina, USA). Data extraction and normalization was performed using Quantile normalization in the BeadStudio software.

Project description:Immune memory cells are poised to rapidly expand and elaborate effector functions upon reinfection. However, despite heightened readiness to respond, memory cells exist in a functionally quiescent state. The paradigm is that memory cells remain inactive due to lack of TCR stimuli. Here we report a unique role of Tregs in orchestrating memory quiescence by inhibiting effector and proliferation programs through CTLA-4. Loss of Tregs resulted in activation of genome-wide transcriptional programs characteristic of potent effectors, and both developing and established memory quickly reverted to a terminally differentiated (KLRG-1hi/IL-7R±lo/GzmBhi) phenotype, with compromised metabolic fitness, longevity, polyfunctionality and protective efficacy. CTLA-4, an inhibitory receptor overexpressed on Tregs, functionally replaced Tregs in trans to rescue Treg-less memory defects and restore homeostasis of secondary mediators as well. These studies present CD28-CTLA-4-CD80/CD86 axis as a novel target to potentially accelerate vaccine-induced immunity and improve T-cell memory quality in current cancer immunotherapies proposing transient Treg-depletion. We used microarray analysis to detail the global programming of gene expression in LCMV GP33-specific CD8 T cells differentiated in the presence or absence of regulatory T cells Differentiation of memory CD8 T cells entails a progressive transition of highly activated effector program to a quiescent memory program. A key question in the field is to understand the factors that aid in the differentiation of memory cells from effector cells. It is a generally accepted paradigm that effector cells transition to a memory state by default after antigen clearance, since TCR stimuli is the key driver of effector programs in CD8 T cells. We hypothesized that the effector to memory transition of CD8 T cells involves active immunological brakes through regulatory T cells (Tregs) that allow the highly activated effector cells to convert into quiescent memory cells. To address this hypothesis, we used FoxP3-DTR mice to deplete Tregs during the window following antigen clearance, during which the effector CD8 T cells convert to long-lived memory cells. To get a deeper understanding of the global transcriptome of CD8 T cells as they transition from an effector to a memory state, we isolated and arrayed the antigen-specific CD8 T cells at day 16 post-infection that have experienced the transitional environment with and without the presence of Tregs.

Project description:We used RNAseq to identify how membrane fatty acid changes might impact and explain the virulence defect during host infection. WT and mFabT expression was compared in THY, and in THY-Tween (as C18:1Δ9 source), which to activates WT FabT repression. RNA isolation and Illumina RNA-seq sequencing: GAS strains were cultured at 37°C in THY or THY-Tween, and cells were harvested during exponential growth (OD600 between 0.4 and 0.5). Independent triplicate cultures were prepared for each condition. For RNA preparation, 2 volumes of RNA protect (Qiagen) was added to cultures prior centrifugation (10 min 12,000 g) and total RNA was extracted after lysing bacteria by a 30 min 15 mg.ml-1 lysozyme, 300 U.ml-1 mutanolysin treatment at 20°C followed by two cycles of Fast-prep (power 6, 30 s) at 4 °C. RNA extraction (Macherey-Nagel RNA extraction kit; Germany) was done according to supplier instructions. RNA integrity was analyzed using an Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Biotechnologies, Ca., USA). 23S and 16S rRNA were depleted from the samples using the MICROBExpress Bacterial mRNA enrichment kit (Invitrogen, France); depletion was controlled on Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Biotechnologies). Libraries were prepared using an Illumina TS kit. Libraries were sequenced generating 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 75-bp-long reads per sample. RNA-Seq data analysis: The MGAS6180 strain sequence (NCBI), which is nearly identical to M28PF1, was used as a reference sequence to map sequencing reads using the STAR software (2.5.2b) BIOCONDA (Anaconda Inc). RNA-seq data were analyzed using the hclust function and a principal component analysis in R 3.5.1 (version 2018-07-02). For differential expression analysis, normalization and statistical analyses were performed using the SARTools package and DESeq2 p-values were calculated and adjusted for multiple testing using the false discovery rate controlling procedure. We used UpsetR to visualize set intersections in a matrix layout comprising the mFabT versus the WT strain grown in THY and in THY-Tween, and growth in THY-Tween versus THY for each strain.
