Maintenance DNA methylation is essential for regulatory T cell development and stability of suppressive function.

Project description:Tregs require Foxp3 expression and induction of a specific DNA hypomethylation signature during development, after which Tregs persist as a self-renewing population that regulates immune system activation. Whether maintenance DNA methylation is required for Treg lineage development and stability and how methylation patterns are maintained during lineage self-renewal remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the epigenetic regulator ubiquitin-like with plant homeodomain and RING finger domains 1 (Uhrf1) is essential for maintenance of methyl-DNA marks that stabilize Treg cellular identity by repressing effector T cell transcriptional programs. Constitutive and induced deficiency of Uhrf1 within Foxp3+ cells resulted in global yet nonuniform loss of DNA methylation, derepression of inflammatory transcriptional programs, destabilization of the Treg lineage, and spontaneous inflammation. These findings support a paradigm in which maintenance DNA methylation is required in distinct regions of the Treg genome for both lineage establishment and stability of identity and suppressive function.

Mitochondrial complex III is essential for regulatory T cell suppressive function. [DNA methylation/RRBS]

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), a distinct subset of CD4+ T cells, are necessary for the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and homeostasis. Recent studies have demonstrated that Treg cells display a unique metabolic profile characterized by an increase in mitochondrial metabolism relative to other CD4+ effector subsets. Furthermore, the Treg cell lineage-defining transcription factor, Foxp3, has been shown to promote respiration; however, it remains unknown whether the mitochondrial respiratory chain is required for Treg cell suppressive capacity, stability, and survival. Here we report that Treg cell-specific ablation of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III results in the development of a fatal inflammatory disease early in life, without impacting Treg cell number. Mice lacking complex III specifically in Treg cells displayed a loss of Treg cell suppressive capacity without altering Treg cell proliferation and survival. Treg cells deficient in complex III display decreased expression of genes associated with Treg function while maintaining stable FOXP3 expression. Complex III-null Treg cells displayed increased DNA methylation at the loci of differentially down-regulated genes without a global increase in DNA methylation. Loss of complex III in Treg cells resulted in buildup of the metabolites 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and succinate that can function as inhibitors of α-ketoglutarate (α−KG)-dependent dioxygenase reactions such as the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of DNA demethylases. Thus, Treg cells require mitochondrial respiration to maintain immune regulatory gene expression and suppressive function.

Mitochondrial complex III is essential for suppressive function of regulatory T cells.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), a distinct subset of CD4+ T cells, are necessary for the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and homeostasis1,2. Recent studies have demonstrated that Treg cells exhibit a unique metabolic profile, characterized by an increase in mitochondrial metabolism relative to other CD4+ effector subsets3,4. Furthermore, the Treg cell lineage-defining transcription factor, Foxp3, has been shown to promote respiration5,6; however, it remains unknown whether the mitochondrial respiratory chain is required for the T cell-suppression capacity, stability and survival of Treg cells. Here we report that Treg cell-specific ablation of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III in mice results in the development of fatal inflammatory disease early in life, without affecting Treg cell number. Mice that lack mitochondrial complex III specifically in Treg cells displayed a loss of T cell-suppression capacity without altering Treg cell proliferation and survival. Treg cells deficient in complex III showed decreased expression of genes associated with Treg function, whereas Foxp3 expression remained stable. Loss of complex III in Treg cells increased DNA methylation as well as the metabolites 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and succinate that inhibit the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of DNA demethylases7. Thus, Treg cells require mitochondrial complex III to maintain immune regulatory gene expression and suppressive function.

Foxp1 is critical for the maintenance of regulatory T-cell homeostasis and suppressive function.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells play central roles in maintaining immune homeostasis and self-tolerance. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Treg cell homeostasis and suppressive function are still not fully understood. Here, we report that the deletion of another P subfamily members of the forkhead box (Foxp) subfamily member Foxp1 in Treg cells led to increased numbers of activated Treg (aTreg) cells at the expense of quiescent Treg cells, and also resulted in impaired Treg suppressive function. Mice with Foxp1-deficient Treg cells developed spontaneous inflammatory disease with age; they also had more severe inflammatory disease in colitis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) models. Mechanistically, we found that Foxp1 bound to the conserved noncoding sequence 2 (CNS2) element of the Foxp3 locus and helped maintain Treg suppressive function by stabilizing the Foxp3 expression. Furthermore, we found that Foxp1 and Foxp3 coordinated the regulation of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) expression levels. Taken together, our study demonstrates that Foxp1 plays critical roles in both maintaining Treg cell quiescence during homeostasis and regulating Treg suppressive function.
