DOCK8 enforces immunological tolerance by promoting IL-2 signaling and immune synapse formation in Treg cells

ABSTRACT: Patients deficient in the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 have decreased numbers and impaired in vitro function of T regulatory (Treg) cells and make autoantibodies, but seldom develop autoimmunity. We show that similarly, Dock8-/- mice have decreased numbers and impaired in vitrofunction of Treg cells, but do not develop autoimmunity. In contrast, mice with selective DOCK8 deficiency in Treg cells develop lymphoproliferation, autoantibodies, and gastrointestinal inflammation, despite normal percentage and in vitro function of Treg cells, suggesting that deficient T effector cell function might protect DOCK8 deficient patients from autoimmunity. We demonstrate that DOCK8 associates with STAT5 and is important for IL-2 driven STAT5 phosphorylation in Treg cells. DOCK8 localizes within the lamellar actin ring of the Treg cell immune synapse (IS). Dock8-/- Treg cells have abnormal TCR-driven actin dynamics, decreased adhesiveness, altered gene expression profile, an unstable IS with decreased recruitment of signaling molecules, and impaired transendocytosis of the co-stimulatory molecule CD86. These data suggest that DOCK8 enforces immunological tolerance by promoting IL-2 signaling, TCR-driven actin dynamics, and the IS in Treg cells.

Stable inhibitory activity of regulatory T cells requires the transcription factor Helios

Project description:The maintenance of immune homeostasis requires regulatory T cells (Tregs). Given their intrinsic self-reactivity, Tregs must stably maintain a suppressive phenotype to avoid autoimmunity. We report that impaired expression of the transcription factor (TF) Helios by FoxP3+ CD4 and Qa-1-restricted CD8 Tregs results in defective regulatory activity and autoimmunity in mice. Helios-deficient Treg develop an unstable phenotype during inflammatory responses characterized by reduced FoxP3 expression and increased effector cytokine expression secondary to diminished activation of the STAT5 pathway. CD8 Treg also require Helios-dependent STAT5 activation for survival and to prevent terminal T cell differentiation. Definition of Helios as a key transcription factor that stabilizes regulatory T-cells in the face of inflammatory responses provides a genetic explanation for a core property of regulatory T-cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programs of gene expression by CD8 Treg (CD44+CD122+Ly49+) and conventional memory type of CD8 cells (CD44+CD122+Ly49-).

Hippo kinases Mst1 and Mst2 sense and amplify IL-2R−STAT5 signaling in Treg cells to establish stable regulatory activity

Project description:Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and downstream transcription factor STAT5 are important for maintaining regulatory T (Treg) cell homeostasis and function. Tregs can respond to low levels of IL-2, but the mechanisms by which STAT5 is activated during partial IL-2 deficiency remain uncertain. We identified the serine-threonine kinase Mst1 as a signal-dependent amplifier of IL-2−STAT5 activity in Tregs. Tregs had high Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1−Mst2) activity that was crucial to prevent tumor resistance and autoimmunity. Mechanistically, Mst1−Mst2 sensed IL-2 signals to promote the STAT5 activation necessary for Treg cell homeostasis and lineage stability, and maintain the highly suppressive phophorylated-STAT5+ Treg cell subpopulation. Unbiased quantitative proteomics revealed an association of Mst1 with the cytoskeletal DOCK8−LRCHs module that shaped activity Rho-family GTPase Rac activity, which in turn mediated STAT5 activation in Tregs. Collectively, IL-2−STAT5 signaling critically depends upon Mst1−Mst2 functions to maintain a stable Treg cell pool and immune tolerance. We used microarrays to compare the global transcription profiles of WT and Mst1/Mst2-null Treg cell populations

A distal Foxp3 enhancer enables interleukin-2 dependent thymic Treg cell lineage commitment for robust immune tolerance[ChIP-seq][Stat5]

Project description:STAT5 activation downstream of the Interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) facilitates Foxp3 expression, which is required for the differentiation and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. However, due to the pleiotropic roles of IL-2R signaling, it is unclear how STAT5 acts on the Foxp3 locus to promote Treg cell lineage commitment. Here, we report that IL-2–STAT5 signaling converges on an enhancer (CNS4) during early Foxp3 induction. CNS4 facilitates and sustains the IL-2–dependent CD25+Foxp3– precursor to Treg cell transition in the thymus. Its deficiency results in markedly impaired Treg cell generation in neonates, which is partially mitigated with age. While the thymic Treg cell paucity caused by CNS4 deficiency did not result in autoimmunity on its own, it exacerbated autoimmune manifestations caused by disruption of the Aire gene. Thus, CNS4 enhancer activity ensures robust Treg cell differentiation early in postnatal life and, cooperatively with other tolerance mechanisms, minimizes autoimmunity.

A distal Foxp3 enhancer enables interleukin-2 dependent thymic Treg cell lineage commitment for robust immune tolerance [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:STAT5 transcription factor activation downstream of the Interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) induces expression of Foxp3, a critical step in the differentiation of regulatory T (Treg) cells. Due to the pleiotropic outputs of IL-2R signaling, it is unclear whether STAT5 acts directly on the Foxp3 locus to promote its expression . Here, we report that IL-2 – STAT5 signaling converged on an enhancer (CNS4) during Foxp3 induction. CNS4 facilitated and sustained the IL-2 dependent CD25+Foxp3– precursor to Treg cell transition in the thymus. Its deficiency resulted in markedly impaired Treg cell generation in neonates, which was partially mitigated with age. While the thymic Treg cell paucity caused by CNS4 deficiency did not result in autoimmunity on its own, it exacerbated autoimmune manifestations caused by disruption of the Aire gene.

Investigating the role of DOCK8 in T follicular helper cells positioning and function in germinal centers

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cell migration into germinal centers (GC) is essential for the generation of GC B cells and antibody responses to T dependent (TD) antigens. This process requires interactions between LFA-1 on Tfh cells and ICAMs on B cells. The mechanisms underlying defective antibody responses to TD antigens in DOCK8 deficiency are incompletely understood. We show that mice selectively lacking DOCK8 in T cells have impaired IgG antibody responses to TD antigens, decreased GC size, and reduced numbers of GC B cells. However, they develop normal numbers of Tfh cells with intact capacity for driving B cell differentiation into a GC phenotype in vitro. Notably, migration of DOCK8 deficient T cells into GCs is defective. Following TCR/CD3 ligation, DOCK8 deficient T cells have impaired LFA-1 activation and reduced binding to ICAM-1. DOCK8 is important for LFA1-dependent positioning of Tfh cells in GCs, and thereby the generation of GC B cells and IgG antibody responses to TD antigen.
