Loss-of-function of PTPN2 promotes pathogenic loss of FoxP3+ in RORgt+ Tregs [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Genetic variants at the PTPN2 locus, which encodes the tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2, cause reduced gene expression and are linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases. PTPN2 inhibits signaling through the T cell and cytokine receptors and loss of PTPN2 promotes T cell expansion and CD4 and CD8-driven autoimmunity. However, it remains unknown whether loss of PTPN2 in FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) plays a role in autoimmunity. Here we show that a reduction in Ptpn2 expression, comparable to that reported in human carriers of autoimmune-predisposing PTPN2 variants, unexpectedly enhances the severity of autoimmune arthritis through a Treg-intrinsic mechanism. Mechanistically, we found that through dephosphorylation of STAT3, Ptpn2 inhibits IL-6-driven pathogenic loss of FoxP3 after Tregs have acquired RORgt expression, at a stage when chromatin accessibility for STAT3-targeted IL-17 associated transcription factors is maximized. We conclude that PTPN2 promotes FoxP3 stability in RORgt+ Treg and that loss of function of PTPN2 in Treg contributes to the association between PTPN2 and autoimmunity.

Loss of Foxp3-driven epigenetic modification leads to regulatory T cell insufficiency

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are responsible for limiting autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. Foxp3 is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of Treg development and function. A serendipitous observation led to the realization that a well-characterized Foxp3gfp reporter mouse, which expresses an N-terminal GFP-Foxp3 fusion protein, is a hypomorph that causes profoundly accelerated autoimmune diabetes on a NOD background. Although natural Treg development and in vitro function is not significantly altered in Foxp3gfp NOD and C57BL/6 mice, Treg fitness function in inflammatory environments is perturbed and TGF?-induced Treg development reduced. Foxp3gfpis unable to interact with the histone acetyltransferase Tip60, the histone deacetylase HDAC7, and the Ikaros family zinc finger 4, Eos, which leads to reduced Foxp3 acetylation and enhanced K48-linked polyubiquitylation. Collectively this leads to an altered transcriptional landscape and reduced Foxp3-mediated gene repression, notably at the hallmark IL-2 promoter. Loss of controlled Foxp3-driven epigenetic modification leads to Treg insufficiency that causes autoimmunity in prone environments. 16 samples overall split between 2 genotypes (wild type and Foxp3 knock in) and two cell types (Tregs and Tconv)

Canonical Wnt signaling negatively modulates T regulatory cell function

Project description:Foxp3 is crucial for both the development and function of regulatory T cells (Treg),however the post-translational mechanisms regulating Foxp3 transcriptional output remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that TCF1 and Foxp3 interact in the nucleus of Treg, and that active Wnt-signaling disrupts Foxp3 transcriptional activity. Utilizing a global ChIP-seq comparison we demonstrate considerable overlap between Foxp3 and Wnt target genes in Treg. Activation of Wnt signaling significantly reduces Treg-mediated suppression both in vitro and in vivo, while disruption of Wnt signaling in Treg enhances their suppressive capacity. Activation of effector T cells increases Wnt3a production, and Wnt3a levels were found to be greatly increased in mononuclear cells isolated from synovial fluid versus peripheral blood of arthritis patients. We propose a model in which Wnt produced by activated mononuclear cells under inflammatory conditions represses Treg function allowing a productive immune response, but if uncontrolled could lead to the development of autoimmunity.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Foxp3 in mouse T-cell hybridoma cells

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor Foxp3 is essential for the development of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and prevention of autoimmunity, but how it controls the Treg gene expression program is not understood. We describe here genome-wide location and expression data that identify Foxp3 target genes and report that many Foxp3 target genes are key modulators of T cell activation and function. Remarkably, the predominant effect of Foxp3 binding is to suppress the activation of target genes upon T cell stimulation. Foxp3 suppression of its targets appears to be crucial for the normal function of Treg cells because overactive variants of some target genes are known to be associated with autoimmune disease.

Expression data from Th17 cells of different origins

Project description:Foxp3 is indispensable for Treg suppressive function, but the stability of Foxp3 has been controversial. In autoimmune arthritis, Th17 cells play a critically important pathological role, but the origin of Th17 cells remains unknown We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of Th17 cells originated from Foxp3+T cells compared to conventional naive CD4+T cells derived Th17 cells. We also take samples of Treg cells and Th0 cells for the experimetnatl control. Each T cell subset after the culture was subjected to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Two Histone/Protein Acetyltransferases, CBP and p300, Are Indispensable for Foxp3+ T-regulatory Cell Development and Function

Project description:T-regulatory (Treg) cells are important to immune homeostasis, and Treg cell deficiency or dysfunction leads to autoimmune disease. An histone/protein acetyltransferase (HAT), p300, was recently found important for Treg function and stability, but further insights into the mechanisms by which p300 or other HATs affect Treg biology are needed. Here we show that CBP, a p300 paralog, is also important in controlling Treg function and stability. Thus, while mice with Treg-specific deletion of CBP or p300 developed minimal autoimmune disease, the combined deletion of CBP and p300 led to fatal autoimmunity by 3-4 weeks of age. The effects of CBP and p300 deletion on Treg development are dose-dependent, and involve multiple mechanisms. CBP and p300 cooperate with several key Treg transcription factors that act on the Foxp3 promoter to promote Foxp3 production. CBP and p300 also act on the Foxp3 CNS2 region to maintain Treg stability in inflammatory environments by regulating pCREB function and GATA3 expression, respectively. Lastly, CBP and p300 regulate the epigenetic status and function of Foxp3. Our findings provide insights into how HATs orchestrate multiple aspects of Treg development and function, and identify overlapping but also discrete activities for p300 and CBP in control of Treg cells.
