Essential and non-overlapping IL-2Rα-dependent signaling for thymic development and peripheral homeostasis of regulatory T cells

ABSTRACT: IL-2R signaling is essential for regulatory T cell (Treg) function. However, the precise contribution for IL-2 during Treg thymic development, peripheral homeostasis, and lineage stability remains unclear. Here we show that IL-2R signaling is essential for thymic Tregs at an early step for expansion/survival and a later step for functional maturation. Using selective deletion of CD25 in peripheral Tregs, we also find that IL-2R signaling was absolutely essential for their persistence whereas Treg lineage stability was IL-2-independent. CD25 knockout peripheral Tregs showed increased apoptosis, oxidative stress, signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced transcription of key enzymes of lipid and cholesterol biosynthetic pathways. A divergent IL-2 transcriptional signature was noted for thymic Tregs versus peripheral Tregs. These data indicate that IL-2R signaling in the thymus and the periphery leads to distinctive effects on Treg function, where peripheral Treg survival depends on a non-conventional mechanism of metabolic regulation.

Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signalling to control Treg homeostasis and Tfr development

Project description:Differentiation and homeostasis of Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) are tightly controlled by the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling, yet the mechanisms governing these processes are incompletely understood. Here we report that transcription factor Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signaling to coordinate Treg differentiation and homeostasis by directly repressed CD25 (IL-2Rα). Thus, Bach2 balances IL-2R signaling to orchestrate development and homeostasis of various Treg subsets.

Efficient IL-2R signaling differentially affects stability, function, and composition of the regulatory T cell pool

Project description:Signaling via the interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) is a requisite for Treg cell identity and function. However, it is not completely understood to what degree IL-2R signaling is required for Treg cell homeostasis, lineage stability and function during both resting and inflammatory conditions. Here, we characterized a spontaneous mouse mutant endowed with a hypomorphic Tyr129His variant of CD25, the a chain of the IL 2R, which resulted in diminished receptor expression and reduced IL-2R signaling. Under non-inflammatory conditions Cd25-Y129H mice harbored substantially lower numbers of peripheral Treg cells with stable Foxp3 expression that prevented the development of spontaneous autoimmune diseases. In contrast, Cd25-Y129H Treg cells failed to efficiently induce immune suppression and lost linage commitment in a T cell transfer colitis model, indicating that unimpaired IL-2R signaling is critical for Treg cell function in inflammatory environments. Moreover, single-cell RNA sequencing of Treg cells revealed that impaired IL-2R signaling profoundly affected the balance of central and effector Treg cell subsets. Thus, partial loss of IL-2R signaling differentially interferes with maintenance, heterogeneity and suppressive function of the regulatory T cell pool.

Gene expression by Treg subsets

Project description:Thymic-derived natural T regulatory cells (nTregs) are characterized by functional and phenotypic heterogeneity. Recently, a small fraction of peripheral Tregs have been shown to express Klrg1, but it remains unclear the extent Klrg1 defines a unique Treg subset. Here we show that Klrg1+ Tregs represent a terminally differentiated Treg subset derived from Klrg1- Tregs. This subset is a recent antigen-responsive and a highly activated short-lived Treg population that expresses enhanced levels of Treg suppressive molecules and that preferentially resides within mucosal tissues. The development of Klrg1+ Tregs also requires extensive IL-2R signaling. This activity represents a distinct function for IL-2, independent from its contribution to Treg homeostasis and competitive fitness. These and other properties are analogous to terminally differentiated short-lived CD8+ T effector cells. Our findings suggest that an important pathway driving antigen-activated conventional T lymphocytes also operates for Tregs. Gene expression analysis was performed of this and other Treg subsets based on expression of CD62L, CD69, and Klrg1 to define the molecular properties of Klrg1+ Tregs and its relationship to other Treg subsets found in the peripheral immune tissues. Mice were euthanized, spleen cell preparations were made, and each Treg subset was isolated by FACS cell sorting. RNA was immediately prepared for processing.

Interleukin-2 receptor signaling acts as a checkpoint that shapes the distribution of regulatory T cell subsets (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) require IL-2 for survival in the periphery, yet how IL-2 shapes Treg heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Here we found that inhibition of IL-2R signaling in post-thymic Tregs leads to a preferential early loss of central Tregs (cTregs). Gene expression of cTregs was more dependent on IL-2R signaling than effector Tregs (eTregs). Unexpectedly, ablation of IL-2R signaling in cTregs resulted in increased proliferation, expression of eTreg genes, and enhanced capacity to develop into eTregs. These findings indicate that physiological amounts of IL-2 act as a checkpoint to maintain cTreg homeostasis and tolerance while restraining their development into eTregs. Nevertheless, direct evaluation of eTregs revealed that loss of IL-2R signaling alters the distribution of eTreg subsets, with increased IFNgR1+ eTregs and CXCR5+ PD-1+ T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells but decreased intestinal RORgt+ TR17 cells. Thus, IL-2R signaling also shapes the development of specialized eTregs subsets.

A distal Foxp3 enhancer enables interleukin-2 dependent thymic Treg cell lineage commitment for robust immune tolerance [RNA-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. Thus, CNS4 enhancer activity ensures robust Treg cell differentiation early in postnatal life and cooperatively with other tolerance mechanisms, minimizes autoimmunity.

Dynamic transcriptional activity and chromatin remodeling of regulatory T cells after varied duration of IL-2R signaling

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are necessary for the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and homeostasis. They have a heightened sensitivity to IL-2, which may create a therapeutic window to promote immune regulation by their selective stimulation. While IL-2 responsive genes are well characterized, yet remain unknown genetic, chromatin and metabolic programs during sustained IL-2R signaling. Longitudinal transcriptional and chromatin accessibility profiling and metabolic studies were performed on peripheral Tregs in response to long-lived mIL-2/CD25 fusion protein. We found an initially increased STAT5 dependent gene modulation enabled by enhanced chromatin accessibility, whereas a STAT5-independent genome-wide chromatin closing to inhibit transcription and cell signaling occurred later. Interestingly, IL-2-dependent genes were induced upon re-stimulation. Mitochondrial metabolism was reprogrammed to fulfill the bioenergetics demand for the burst of proliferation. We propose that a shift from euchromatin to heterochromatin represents a mechanism to restrain, but not abrogate, persistent IL-2R signaling to maintain Treg homeostasis.
