Gene expression profiling of thymically-derived regulatory T cells from miR-142-deficient versus wild-type mice

ABSTRACT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a fundamental role in immune tolerance via control of self-reactive effector T cells (Teffs). The development and function of the Treg lineage is critically dependent on the transcription factor Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3). Mice with a Treg-specific deletion of miRNAs, also develop a spontaneous, lethal autoimmune disease virtually indistinguishable from that seen in Foxp3-decicient mice demonstrating that miRNAs are critical for establishment of Treg-mediated peripheral tolerance. However, the set of miRNAs responsible for this functional deficiency has yet to be fully defined. Using Foxp3 ChIP-seq data we identified Mir142 as the only miRNA gene associated with a super-enhancer bound by FOXP3 suggesting that miR-142 is important for Treg function. To identify genes directly regulated by miR-142 in Tregs we profiled the changes in gene expression upon conditional deletion of miR-142 in thymically-derived Treg cells.

microRNA-142–mediated repression of phosphodiesterase 3B critically regulates peripheral immune tolerance

Project description:Tregs play a fundamental role in immune tolerance via control of self-reactive effector T cells (Teffs). This function is dependent on maintenance of a high intracellular cAMP concentration. A number of microRNAs are implicated in the maintenance of Tregs. In this study, we demonstrate that peripheral immune tolerance is critically dependent on posttranscriptional repression of the cAMP-hydrolyzing enzyme phosphodiesterase-3b (Pde3b) by microRNA-142-5p (miR-142-5p). In this manner, miR-142-5p acts as an immunometabolic regulator of intracellular cAMP, controlling Treg suppressive function. Mir142 was associated with a super enhancer bound by the Treg lineage–determining transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), and Treg-specific deletion of miR-142 in mice (TregΔ142) resulted in spontaneous, lethal, multisystem autoimmunity, despite preserved numbers of phenotypically normal Tregs. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic ablation of PDE3B prevented autoimmune disease and reversed the impaired suppressive function of Tregs in TregΔ142 animals. These findings reveal a critical molecular switch, specifying Treg function through the modulation of a highly conserved, cell-intrinsic metabolic pathway. Modulation of this pathway has direct relevance to the pathogenesis and treatment of autoimmunity and cancer.

Unstableregulatory and autoreactive effector T cells in patients with FOXP3 mutations

Project description:Studies of the monogenic autoimmune disease immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked syndrome (IPEX) have elucidated the essential function of the transcription factor FOXP3 and thymic-derived regulatory T cells (Tregs) in controlling peripheral tolerance. However, the presence and the source of autoreactive T cells in IPEX remain undetermined. Here, we investigated how FOXP3 deficiency affects the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and Treg stability in vivo and compared T cell abnormalities in patients with IPEX to those in patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy syndrome (APECED). To study Tregs independently of their phenotype and to analyze T cell autoreactivity, we combined Treg-specific demethylation region analyses, single-cell multi-omic profiling, and bulk TCR sequencing. We found that patients with IPEX, unlike patients with APECED, have expanded autoreactive T cells originating from both autoreactive effector T cells (Teffs) and Tregs. In addition, a fraction of the expanded Tregs lost their phenotypic and functional markers including CD25 and often also FOXP3. Functional experiments with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated FOXP3 knock-out Treg and Tregs from patients with IPEX indicated that the patients’ Tregs gain a Th2 skewed Teff-like function, which is consistent with immune dysregulation observed in these patients. Analyses of FOXP3 mutation-carrier mothers and a patient with IPEX after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, indicated that Tregs expressing non-mutated FOXP3 prevent the accumulation of autoreactive Teffs and unstable Tregs. Collectively, we describe Treg instability and Teff autoreactivity in patients with IPEX. These findings could be directly used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes and for monitoring the effects of immunomodulatory treatments.

An essential role for miR-15/16 in Treg suppression and restriction of proliferation

Project description:The miR-15/16 family is a highly expressed group of tumor suppressor miRNAs that target a large network of genes in T cells to restrict their cell cycle, memory formation and survival. Upon T cell activation, miR-15/16 are downregulated, allowing rapid expansion of differentiated effector T cells to mediate a sustained immune response. Here, using conditional deletion of miR-15/16 in immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express FOXP3, we identify new functions of the miR-15/16 family in T cell immunity. miR-15/16 are indispensable to maintain peripheral tolerance by securing efficient suppression by a limited number of Tregs. miR-15/16-deficiency alters Treg expression of critical functional proteins including FOXP3, IL2Rα/CD25, CTLA4, PD-1 and IL7Rα/CD127, and results in accumulation of functionally impaired FOXP3loCD25loCD127hi Tregs. Excessive proliferation in the absence of miR-15/16 inhibition of cell cycle programs shifts Treg diversity and produces an effector Treg phenotype characterized by low expression of TCF1, CD25 and CD62L, and high expression of CD44. These Tregs fail to control immune activation of CD4+ effector T cells, leading to spontaneous multi-organ inflammation and increased allergic airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Together, our results demonstrate that miR-15/16 expression in Tregs is essential to maintain immune tolerance.

Transcription profiling by array of mouse CD4+ GFP+ (tregs) and CD4+ GFP- (Teffs) cells treated with IL-2

Project description:To obtain the molecular signature of the effect that the IL-2 therapeutic dose induces on T cells in vivo, we performed gene array analysis. Since it was critical to perform this analysis on highly purified Tregs and Teffs, and also because activated Teffs can acquire CD25 expression, we used GFP-Foxp3 knock-in mice which allow for the purification of Tregs and Teffs based on the GFP expression. Illumina gene array was carried out on FACS sorted CD4+ GFP+ (Tregs) and CD4+ GFP- (Teffs) of mice that received either PBS or the curative schedule of IL-2, 2 hours after the last injection.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Specialized Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity - 5 populations ex vivo

Project description:Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) are functionally distinct from conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). To understand Treg identity, we compared by proteomics and transcriptomics human naïve (n) and effector (e)Tregs, Tconvs and transitional FOXP3+ cells. Only 12% of 422 differentially expressed proteins was identified as such at the mRNA level, demonstrating the importance of direct proteome measurement. Fifty-one proteins discriminated Tregs from Tconvs. This common Treg protein signature indicates altered signaling by TCR-, TNF receptor-, NFB-, PI3 kinase/mTOR-, NFAT- and STAT pathways, and unique cell biological and metabolic features. Another protein signature uniquely identified eTregs and revealed active cell division, apoptosis sensitivity and suppression of NFB- and STAT signaling. eTreg fate appears consolidated by FOXP3 outnumbering its partner transcription factors. These features explain why eTregs cannot produce inflammatory cytokines, whereas transitional FOXP3+ cells can. Collectively, our data reveal that Treg identity is defined and protected by uniquely “wired” signaling pathways.

Gene expression profiling of murine WT and DNR Tregs

Project description:Donminant negative transform growth factor receptor II (DNR) mice were served as a murine primary biliary cirrhrosis model. CD4+Foxp3+ Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in self-tolerance and in regulating PBC. In order to determine whether DNR mice derived Tregs processed defective function compared with WT Tregs, CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells were sorted from DNR and WT mice, respectively, then gene expression analysis was performed by using the Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs were sorted from the spleen of 10-week-old DNR mice and B6 wild-type mice, respectively. RNA of each sample was then extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays to detail differences between DNR Tregs and WT Tregs in gene expression.

RNA-Seq of human regulatory T cells and effector T cells cultured at standard 37C temperature and in mild hypothermia (33C).

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play crucial role in maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Numerous clinical trials confirmed safety and efficacy of Treg treatment of for deleterious immune responses. However, Tregs lose their characteristic phenotype and suppressive potential during expansion ex vivo. In our experiment we demonstrate that mild hypothermia of 33C induces robust proliferation of human Tregs, preserves expression of FoxP3, CD25 and Helios, and prevents TSDR methylation during culture in vitro. Tregs expanded at 33C showed stronger immunosuppressive potential and anti-inflammatory phenotype. We show that a simple change in temperature can preserve Treg stability, function and accelerate their proliferation in vitro.
