RNA-seq of donor matched freshly FACS-sorted Tregs (CD4+CD127loCD25hi) and Tconvs (CD4+CD127hiCD25lo) to compare both the protein-coding and non-coding transcriptomes from three different healthy donors (HD)

ABSTRACT: The major goal of this study was to perform an in depth characterization of the “gene signature” of human FoxP3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs). Highly purified Tregs and T conventional cells (Tconvs) from multiple healthy donors (HD), either freshly explanted or activated in vitro, were analyzed via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and gene expression changes validated using the nCounter system. Additionally, we analyzed microRNA (miRNA) expression using TaqMan low-density arrays. Our results confirm previous studies demonstrating selective gene expression of FoxP3, IKZF2, and CTLA4 in Tregs. Notably, a number of yet uncharacterized genes (RTKN2, LAYN, UTS2, CSF2RB, TRIB1, F5, CECAM4, CD70, ENC1 and NKG7) were identified and validated as being differentially expressed in human Tregs. We further characterize the functional roles of RTKN2 and LAYN by analyzing their roles in vitro human Treg suppression assays by knocking them down in Tregs and overexpressing them in Tconvs. In order to facilitate a better understanding of the human Treg gene expression signature, we have generated from our results a hypothetical interactome of genes and miRNAs in Tregs and Tconvs

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Specialized Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity - 6 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. Associated GEO dataset is available at GSE90600.

Profiling of naÃ¯ve and memory Tregs

Project description:Changes in Treg function are difficult to quantify due to the lack of Treg-exclusive markers in humans and the complexity of functional experiments. We sorted naive and memory human Tregs and conventional T cells, and identified genes that identify human Tregs regardless of their state of activation. We developed this Treg signature using Affymetrix human genome U133A 2.0 microarrays. To generate Tregs and Tconvs in multiple states of activation, naÃ¯ve (CD4+CD25hiCD45RA+) and memory (CD4+CD25hiCD45RA-) Tregs, and naÃ¯ve (CD4+CD25-CD45RA+) and memory (CD4+CD25-CD45RA-) Tconvs were sorted from blood of 7 healthy adults and RNA was isolated ex vivo or after stimulation for 40h, promoting activation-induced FOXP3 in Tconvs. The gene-expression profile of the eight cell subsets was analyzed. 7 adult healthy control samples were sorted into 4 subsets: naÃ¯ve (CD4+CD25hiCD45RA+) and memory (CD4+CD25hiCD45RA-) Tregs, and naÃ¯ve (CD4+CD25-CD45RA+) and memory (CD4+CD25-CD45RA-) Tconvs. These were used for RNA ex vivo and after 40h stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 beads to induce an activation phenotype.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals a Unique Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity

Project description:Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) are functionally distinct from conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). To understand Treg identity, we have compared by proteomics and transcriptomics human naïve (n) and effector (e)Tregs, Tconvs and transitional FOXP3+ cells. Among these CD4+ T cell subsets, we detected differential expression of 421 proteins and 640 mRNAs, with only 48 molecules shared. Fifty proteins discriminated Tregs from Tconvs. This common Treg protein signature indicates altered signaling by TCR-, TNF receptor-, NFkB-, 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 NFkB- and STAT signaling. eTreg fate appears consolidated by FOXP3 outnumbering its partner transcription factors. These features explain why eTregs cannot produce inflammatory cytokines, while transitional FOXP3+ cells can.

Regulatory T cells from injured skeletal muscle

Project description:A phenotypically and functionally distinct population of CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells (Tregs) rapidly accumulates in acutely injured skeletal muscle of mice, just as invading myeloid-lineage cells switch from a pro-inflammatory to a pro-regenerative state. Analysis of gene expression of Tregs and CD4+Foxp3- T cells (Tconvs) from injured muscle and spleen revealed that the transcriptome of muscle Treg cells is distinct from that of splenic Tregs. A set of genes is uniquely expressed by muscle Tregs, while another set is over-expressed by the two muscle populations vis-à-vis their two spleen counterparts. 6 wk-old Foxp3-ires-GFP mice were injured in skeletal muscles with cardiotoxin. Four and fourteen days later, Tregs and Tconvs from spleen and muscle were double-sorted into Trizol. To reduce variability, cells from multiple mice were pooled for sorting, and three replicates were generated for all groups. RNA from 1.5-2.5 x 104 cells was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

Identification of human exTregs as CD16+CD56+ cytotoxic CD4+ T cells.

Project description:In chronic inflammatory diseases with an autoimmune component like atherosclerosis, some regulatory T cells (Tregs) lose their regulatory function and become exTregs. The present study was designed to identify surface markers specific of human exTregs, using an integrated approach from sorted mouse exTregs bulk RNA-Seq to human scRNA-Seq with CITE-Seq, to sort human exTregs and characterize them by transcriptome and function. We crossed inducible Treg lineage tracker mice (FoxP3-eGFP-Cre-ERT2 ROSA26CAG-fl-stop-fl-tdTomato) to atherosclerosis-prone Apoe -/- mice, sorted Tregs and exTregs from lymph nodes and spleens of replicate mice and determined their transcriptomes by bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). A support vector machine (SVM) approach identified the leading signature genes for exTregs as CST7, NKG7, GZMA, PRF1, TBX21 and CCL4. Projecting these genes onto feature maps of human PBMC single cell (sc)RNA-Seq with CITE-Seq from 61 subjects with and without atherosclerosis showed that CST7, NKG7, GZMA, PRF1, TBX21 and CCL4 mapped to CD4 T cells that expressed CD56 and CD16. This finding was validated in a second, independent scRNA- and CITE-Seq dataset. Even in healthy volunteers, a subpopulation of CD4 T cells expressed both CD56 and CD16. Bulk RNA-Seq identified these cells as cytotoxic CD4 T cells, which was functionally confirmed in a cell killing assay. DNA sequencing for TCRβ showed clonal expansion of Treg CDR3 sequences in CD16 + CD56 + exTregs. Taken together, we identify mouse and human exTregs as cytotoxic CD4 T cells.

Conserved non-coding sequence 2 (CNS2) of the Foxp3 genomic locus is essential for the function and stability of regulatory T cells during their activation

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells play an indispensable role in immune homeostasis. The development and function of Tregs are dependent on transcriptional factor Foxp3, but how constant expression of Foxp3 is maintained in Tregs is not clear. Here we show that ablation of the conserved non-coding DNA sequence 2 (CNS2) at the Foxp3 locus in mice led to spontaneous lymphoproliferative disease and exacerbation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). CNS2 is required for activated Treg cells to maintain elevated Foxp3 expression, which is critical for their suppressor function and lineage stability. Mechanistically, upon TCR stimulation, NFAT binds to both CNS2 and Foxp3 promoter and mediates the interaction between CNS2 and Foxp3 promoter. Our findings demonstrated an essential role for CNS2 in maintaining the stability and function of activated Treg cells and identified NFAT as a key mediator of its function. Gene expression was profiled in T regulatory cells (Treg) in WT and CNS2 knockout mice. CNS2 knockout mice lack a conserved non-coding DNA sequence 2 (CNS2) at the Foxp3 locus. Treg cells were further sorted into Foxp3-high and Foxp3-low populations based on the expression level of Foxp3. mRNA was profiled using RNA-Seq (unstranded, polyA+, SE100) in replicate for each condition
