Tracking adipose-tissue Treg provenance, dependencies, and activities via T cell receptor transgenic mice

ABSTRACT: Regulatory T (Treg) cells located within parenchymal tissues safeguard tissue homeostasis. A paradigmatic "tissue-Treg" population is that found in visceral-adipose tissue (VAT) of male mice. VAT-Treg cells have a unique transcriptome, are clonally expanded, and promote metabolic health through effects on local immunocytes and adipocytes. Because of their rarity and inaccessibility, cardinal questions such as what factors control their accumulation in fat and when/where/how do they adopt their distinctive phenotype remained unanswered. We addressed these issues using VAT- Treg T-cell-receptor (TCR) transgenic mice. Accumulation of VAT-Tregs was driven by combined effects of TCR specificity, Foxp3 expression, and a cell-intrinsic response to interleukin-33. Their characteristic phenotype emerged in two stages: a minority of splenic Treg cells weakly up-regulated a slice of the VAT-Treg transcriptional signature, reflecting cell activation, but the definitive phenotype, arming cells for fat survival, was manifest only in VAT. This deeper understanding of tissue-Treg generation should facilitate precision-targeting strategies.

Transcriptional profiling of Regulatory T (Treg) cells in obesity

Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of vTreg53 TCR transgenic Treg cells from splenic and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in mice fed with normal chow diet (NCD) or high fat diet (HFD) for different durations. We also reported transcriptional profile of VAT Treg cells stimulated by IFNa in vitro. Through this analysis, we found that the reduction of VAT Treg cells during obesity is driven by increased production of IFNa in VAT.

Transcriptional profiling of Regulatory T (Treg) cells and CD4+ conventional T (Tconv) cells from vTreg53 TCR transgenic and PPARg reporter mice

Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of Treg and Tconv cells from thymic, splenic, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of vTreg53 TCR transgenic mice and control littermates. We examined the effect of Foxp3 on splenic and VAT CD4+ T cell transcriptome. We profiled gene expression in a novel PPARg+ splenic Treg population. We uncovered that the characteristic phenotype of VAT Treg cells was acquired in two stages.

Transcriptional profiling of vTreg53 TCR transgenic Regulatory T (Treg) cells stimulated by agonist peptide

Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of vTreg53 TCR transgenic Treg cells from splenic/lymph nodes and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) stimulated by agonsit peptide fat1562. We identified that peptide immunization is associated with TCR activation and that the VAT Treg transcriptome is largely maintained in the presence of antigen stimulation

Sex-specific adipose tissue imprinting of regulatory T cells (ATAC-seq)

Project description:Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a metabolically active endocrine organ that plays a critical role regulating organismal metabolism. Regulatory T (Treg) cells restrain VAT inflammation, and preserve insulin sensitivity and organismal metabolism. Here we report pronounced sexual dimorphism in VAT Treg cells, which were enriched specifically in males and differed strikingly from their female counterparts in phenotype, transcriptional landscape and chromatin accessibility. These differences were imprinted by the adipose tissue in a manner dependent on sex hormones. Male VAT was characterized by heightened inflammation, which resulted in CCR2-dependent recruitment of Treg cells. Sex hormones also regulated the differentiation of unique IL-33-producing stromal cell populations specific to the male VAT, which paralleled the local expansion of Treg cells and the induction of a transcriptional program controlled by transcription factor Blimp1. Overall our findings reveal a novel multi-layered feedback circuit depending on Treg cells and regulated by sex hormones to limit VAT inflammation.

Transcriptional profiling of Bmal1WT and Bmal1KO Tregs

Project description:We isolated visceral adipose tissue (VAT) Tregs from Foxp3.YFP-Cre Bmal1WT or Foxp3.YFP-Cre bmal1flox mice fed a normal lean diet or a high-fat diet. VAT Tregs were also sorted after adoptive transfer. We found that Bmal1KO Tregs are more activated in lean mice, after 4 weeks HFD and after adoptive transfer, but loseVAT Treg signature after 16 weeks of high-fat diet feeding.

A long-term high fat diet induces differential gene expression changes in spatially distinct adipose tissues.

Project description:The accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In contrast, individuals with increased subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) without corresponding increases in VAT are associated with a metabolic healthy obese phenotype. These observations implicate dysfunctional VAT as a driver of disease processes, warranting investigation into obesity-induced alterations of distinct adipose depots. To determine the effects of obesity on adipose gene expression, mice were fed either a high fat or normal laboratory diet for 12-14 months. Mesenteric VAT and hindlimb SAT were isolated from four lean controls and four obese mice for bulk RNA- sequencing. AT from lean controls served as a reference to obesity-induced changes. The long-term high fat diet induced the expression of 169 and 814 unique genes in SAT and VAT, respectively. SAT from obese mice exhibited a total of 308 differentially expressed genes (164 upregulated, 144 downregulated). VAT from obese mice exhibited 690 differentially expressed genes (262 genes upregulated, 428 downregulated). KEGG pathway and GO analyses revealed that metabolic pathways were upregulated in SAT vs. downregulated in VAT while inflammatory signaling was upregulated in VAT. We next determined common genes that were differentially regulated between SAT and VAT in response to obesity and identified four genes that exhibited this profile: elovl6 and kcnj15 were upregulated in SAT/downregulated in VAT while trdn and hspb7 were downregulated in SAT/ upregulated in VAT. We propose that these genes in particular should be further pursued to determine their roles in SAT vs. VAT with obesity.

Inflammation-dependent differentiation of two distinct regulatory T cell populations in the visceral adipose tissue shapes systemic metabolism [RNA-seq II]

Project description:Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is an endocrine organ critical for energy storage and metabolic homeostasis. Its function, at least in part, is controlled by immune cells, including Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, which restrain VAT inflammation and glucose intolerance. Here we uncover that the VAT harbours two distinct Treg cell populations, prototypical ST2+ Treg cells, that are enriched in males and depend on the cytokine IL-33 and the transcription factor PPAR and a previously uncharacterized population of VAT Treg cells that express the chemokine receptor CXCR3+, are enriched in females and depend on the transcription factor T-bet. We further show that the transcription factor GATA3 promoted differentiation of ST2+ VAT Treg cells and together with PPAR and IL-33 repressed the differentiation of CXCR3+ Treg cells. CXCR3+ VAT Treg cells developed from naïve Treg cells in a cytokine IFN- dependent manner. Finally, we demonstrate that ST2+ Treg cells promoted glucose tolerance, while CXCR3+ Treg cells limited VAT inflammation in a sex specific manner. This study for the first time establishes how inflammation determines the developmental trajectories of two functionally and molecularly distinct Treg cell types in the VAT.
