Retinoic Acid Enhances Foxp3 Induction Indirectly by Relieving Inhibition from CD4(+)CD44(hi) Cells.

ABSTRACT: CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells originate primarily from thymic differentiation, but conversion of mature T lymphocytes to Foxp3 positivity can be elicited by several means, including in vitro activation in the presence of TGF-beta. Retinoic acid (RA) increases TGF-beta-induced expression of Foxp3, through unknown molecular mechanisms. We showed here that, rather than enhancing TGF-beta signaling directly in naive CD4(+) T cells, RA negatively regulated an accompanying population of CD4(+) T cells with a CD44(hi) memory and effector phenotype. These memory cells actively inhibited the TGF-beta-induced conversion of naive CD4(+) T cells through the synthesis of a set of cytokines (IL-4, IL-21, IFN-gamma) whose expression was coordinately curtailed by RA. This indirect effect was evident in vivo and required the expression of the RA receptor alpha. Thus, cytokine-producing CD44(hi) cells actively restrain TGF-beta-mediated Foxp3 expression in naive T cells, and this balance can be shifted or fine-tuned by RA.

Thus, cytokine-producing CD44(hi) cells actively restrain TGF-beta-mediated Foxp3 expression in naive T cells, and this balance can be shifted or fine-tuned by RA. All gene expression profiles were obtained from highly purified T cell populations sorted by flow cytometry. To reduce variability, cells from multiple mice were pooled for sorting, and replicates were generated for essentially all groups. RNA from 0.5-3 x 105 cells was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix M430v2 microarrays. Raw data were preprocessed with the RMA algorithm in GenePattern, and averaged expression values were used for analysis.

TGF-beta/Smad3-dependent gene expression analysis in naive CD4 T cells

Project description:Investigation of transcript level modulation in unstimulated and TGF-beta treated (with or without superimposed T-cell receptor and CD28 stimulation) naive CD4 T cells from wild type or Smad3-deficient littermate mice. Smad3 is a critical signaling molecule and transcription factor downstream of TGF-beta and mediates several of the TGF-beta dependent tolerogenic effects in T cells. This study was undertaken to unveil the transcriptionnal program controled by the TGF-b/Smad3 axis. Microarray study using RNA recovered after 6 hours of culture in either serum free media, serum-free media + TGF-beta (2.5ng/ml) or serum-free media + TGF-beta and anti-CD3e and anti-CD28 stimulation (3 conditions). Naive CD4 T cells (TCRb+, CD4+, CD62L+ and CD44-) were sorted from either wild type or Smad3 deficient littermates and submitted to the 3 culture conditions. Three biological replicates were obtained (each from at least 2 different mice). Thus a total of 18 Nimblegen 365K chip were used.

CD44 acts as a co-receptor to confer cell type-specific enhancement of signaling and regulatory T cell induction by TGM-1, a helminth parasite mimic of TGF

Project description:Long-lived parasites evade host immunity through highly evolved molecular strategies. The murine intestinal helminth, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, suppresses the host immune system through release of an immunoregulatory TGF-β mimic, TGM-1, which is a divergent member of the CCP (Sushi) protein family. TGM-1 comprises 5 domains, of which domains 1-3 (D1/2/3) bind mammalian TGFβ receptors, acting on T cells to induce Foxp3+ regulatory T cells; however, the roles of domains 4 and 5 (D4-5) remain unknown. We noted that a truncated TGM-1, lacking these domains, showed reduced potency. Combination of D1/2/3 and D4/5 as separate proteins did not restore full potency, suggesting that a physical linkage is required, and that these domains may not deliver an independent signal. Co-precipitation from cells treated with biotinylated D4/5, followed by mass spectrometry, identified the cell surface protein CD44 as a co-receptor for TGM-1. Both full-length and D4/5 bound strongly to a range of primary cells and cell lines, while D1/2/3 binding was only marginally detectable. Ectopic expression of CD44 in non responding cells conferred responsiveness, while specific genetic depletion of CD44 abolished the enhancement effect of D4/5, and ablated the ability of full-length TGM-1 to bind to cell surfaces. Moreover, CD44-deficient T cells showed attenuated induction of Foxp3 by full-length TGM-1, to levels similar to D1/2/3. Hence, a parasite protein known to bind two host cytokine receptor subunits has evolved a third receptor specificity, which serves to raise the avidity and cell type-specific potency of TGF-β signaling in mammalian cells.

The TGF-β mimic TGM4 achieves cell specificity through combinatorial surface co-receptor binding.

Project description:The murine helminth parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus expresses a family of modular proteins which, replicating the functional activity of the immunomodulatory cytokine TGF-β, have been named TGM (TGF-β Μimic). Multiple domains bind to different receptors, including TGF-β receptors TβRI (ALK5) and TβRII through domains 1-3, and prototypic family member TGM1 binds the cell surface co-receptor CD44 through domains 4-5. This allows TGM1 to induce T lymphocyte Foxp3 expression, characteristic of regulatory (Treg) cells, and to activate a range of TGF-β-responsive cell types. In contrast, a related protein, TGM4, targets a much more restricted cell repertoire, primarily acting on myeloid cells, with less potent effects on T cells and lacking activity on other TGF-β-responsive cell types. TGM4 binds avidly to myeloid cells by flow cytometry, and can outcompete TGM1 for cell binding. Analysis of receptor binding in comparison to TGM1 reveals a 10-fold higher affinity than TGM1 for TGFβR-I (TβRI), but a 100-fold lower affinity for TβRII through Domain 3. Consequently, TGM4 is more dependent on co-receptor binding; in addition to CD44, TGM4 also engages CD49d (Itga4) through Domains 1-3, as well as CD206 and Neuropilin-1 through Domains 4 and 5. TGM4 was found to effectively modulate macrophage populations, inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-driven inflammatory cytokine production and boosting interleukin (IL)-4-stimulated responses such as Arginase-1 in vitro and in vivo. These results reveal that the modular nature of TGMs has allowed the fine tuning of the binding affinities of the TβR- and co-receptor binding domains to establish cell specificity for TGF-β signalling in a manner that cannot be attained by the mammalian cytokine.

The kinases MEKK2 and MEKK3 regulate Transforming Growth Factor-β-mediated helper T cell differentiation

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key mediators of the T cell receptor (TCR) signals but their roles in T helper (Th) cell differentiation are unclear. Here we showed that the MAPK kinase kinases MEKK2 (encoded by Map3k2) and MEKK3 (encoded by Map3k3),negatively regulated transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-mediated Th cell differentiation.Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- mice showed an abnormal accumulation of regulatory T (Treg) and Th17 cells in the periphery, consistent with Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- naïve CD4+ T cells’ differentiation into Treg and Th17 cells with a higher frequency than wild-type (WT) cells after TGF-beta stimulation in vitro. In addition, Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- mice developed more severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- T cells exhibited impaired phosphorylation of the SMAD2 and SMAD3 proteins at their linker regions, which negatively regulated the TGF-beta responses in T cells. Thus, the crosstalk between TCR-induced MAPK and the TGF-beta signaling pathways is important in regulating Th cell differentiation. CD4+CD62L-CD44+ cells were FACS sorted from C57BL/6 Lck-Cre MEKK2 KO MEKK3F/-(dKO) or C57BL/6 WT mice
