Assessment of genome-wide chromatin accessibility of subsets of bone marrow-resident antigen presenting cells [ATAC_BMACs]

ABSTRACT: Chromatin accessibility of bone marrow-resident Aire expressing cells was compared to those of bone marrow plasma cells and B cells via ATAC-seq Bone marrow (BM) harbors a large repertoire of regulatory T (Treg) cells, which are essential in hematopoiesis and peripheral tolerance. Treg cell accumulation in BM has been viewed as a consequence of preferential immigration of thymus-derived Treg cells. Here we report a novel subset of antigen presenting cells, which expresses the autoimmune regulator (Aire). These BM Aire-expressing cells resemble a subset of CD138+B220-TACI+Blimp-1+MHC-II+ plasma cells (pc-BMACs) and express a diverse repertoire of tissue-restricted self-antigens. pc-BMACs present self-antigens to na ve CD4+ T cells and can efficiently convert these into functionally competent CD25+Foxp3+ bona fide peripheral Treg cells (pTregs) capable of exerting immune suppression in vitro and in vivo. Aire expression may contribute to the tolerogenic function of pc-BMACs as it regulates the expression of genes involved in pTreg induction and function, including Icosl and retinoic acid synthesis-related genes, Aldh1a2 and Aldh1b1. Our data thus demonstrate an Aire-expressing plasma cell subset in the BM capable to promote peripheral tolerance by ectopically expressing tissue-restricted self-antigens and generating pTregs.

Evaluation of Genome-wide chromatin accessibility of BM T cell subsets [ATAC_TC]

A novel lineage of RORγt+ antigen presenting cells instructs microbiota-dependent regulatory T cell differentiation and tolerance during early life [multiome scATAC-seq]

Project description:Tolerance to self- or innocuous foreign antigens is vital for preservation of organismal health. Within the thymus, medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) expressing AutoImmune Regulator, Aire, play a critical role in self-tolerance through deletion of autoreactive T cells and promotion of thymic regulatory T (Treg) cell development. A second wave of Treg cell differentiation occurs in the periphery, upon exposure to dietary and commensal microbiota derived antigens within the first few weeks of life, yet the cell types responsible for the generation of peripheral Treg (pTreg) cells are not known. Here we identified a new lineage of tolerogenic RORγt+ antigen-presenting cells (APC) with a hybrid dendritic cell (DC)-mTEC phenotype, dubbed Thetis cells (TCs), comprising 4 major sub-groups (TC I-IV), We uncovered a developmental wave of TCs within intestinal lymph nodes during a critical early life window, coincident with the wave of pTreg cell differentiation. While Aire+ TC I and III bore remarkable homology with Aire+ mTECs, including expression of tissue restricted self-antigens, TC IV lacked Aire expression and were enriched for molecules required for pTreg generation, including the TGF-β activating integrin αvβ8. Loss of either MHCII or Itgb8 expression by TCs led to a profound impairment in intestinal pTreg differentiation, with onset of intestinal inflammation. In contrast, MHCII expression by RORγt+ group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and classical DCs was neither sufficient nor required for pTreg generation, further implicating TCs as the critical tolerogenic RORγt+ APC. Our studies reveal parallel pathways for establishment of tolerance to self and foreign antigen within the thymus and periphery, marked by involvement of shared cellular and transcriptional programs.

AIRE-deficient CD8+CD28low regulatory T lymphocytes fail to control experimental colitis

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor AutoImmune REgulator (AIRE) are responsible for the ‘Autoimmune PolyEndocrinopathy Candidiasis Ecodermal Dystrophy’ syndrome. AIRE directs expression of tissue restricted antigens in the thymic medulla and in lymph node stromal cells and thereby substantially contributes to induction of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Data from experimental mouse models showed that AIRE-deficiency leads to impaired deletion of autospecific T cell precursors. However, a potential role for AIRE in the function of regulatory T cell populations, which are known to play a central role in prevention of immunopathology, has remained elusive. Regulatory T cells of CD8+CD28low phenotype efficiently control immune responses in experimental autoimmune and colitis models in mice. We here show that CD8+CD28low Treg from AIRE-deficient mice are transcriptionally and phenotypically normal, exert efficient suppression of in vitro immune responses, but completely fail to prevent experimental colitis in vivo. Our data therefore demonstrate that AIRE plays an important role in the in vivo function of a naturally occurring regulatory T cell population. Total RNA was extracted from CD8+CD28low regulatory T lymphocytes isolated from wildtype and Aire-deficient C57BL/6 mice for comparison of gene expression profiles.

Expression data from cortical thymic epithelial cells ectopically expressing Aire

Project description:Aire in medullary thymic epithelial cells plays an essential role in the negative selection through expression of broad arrays of tissue-restricted antigens. We asked whether Aire could also activate the expression of tissue-restricted antigens in cortical thymic epithelial cells. We established a semi-knockin strain of NOD-background mice expressing Aire under control of the promoter of β5t, a thymoproteasome expressed exclusively in the cortex. We extracted RNA from cortical thymic epithelial cells ectopically expressing Aire and hybridization was performed on Affymetrix. microarrays.

Deletional Tolerance Mediated by Extrathymic Aire-Expressing Cells

Project description:The prevention of autoimmunity requires elimination of self-reactive T cells during their development and maturation. Expression of diverse self-antigens by stromal cells in the thymus is essential to this process, and depends, in part, on the activity of the Autoimmune Regulator (Aire) gene. Here we report the identification of extrathymic Aire-expressing cells (eTACs) resident within the secondary lymphoid organs. These stromally-derived eTACs express a diverse array of unique self-antigens and are capable of interacting with and deleting naive autoreactive T cells. Using two-photon microscopy we observe stable, antigen-specific interactions between eTACs and autoreactive T cells. We propose that such a secondary network of self-antigen-expressing stromal cells may help reinforce immune tolerance by preventing the maturation of autoreactive T cells that escape thymic negative selection. A genetic modification design type is where an organism(s) has had genetic material removed, rearranged, mutagenized or added, such as knock out. Keywords: genetic_modification_design
