BMI1 Maintains the Regulatory T cell Epigenomic Landscape to Prevent Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Microarray)

ABSTRACT: FOXP3+ Treg cells are expanded within the inflamed intestine of human Crohn’s disease, yet FOXP3-mediated gene repression within these cells is lost. The Polycomb repressive complexes play a role in FOXP3 target gene regulation, but deeper mechanistic insight is incomplete. We have now specifically identified the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) family member, BMI1 in the regulation of a pro-inflammatory enhancer network in both human and murine Tregs. Using human Tregs and lamina propria T cells, we inferred PRC1 to regulate Crohn’s associated gene networks through assays of chromatin accessibility. Conditional deletion of BMI1 in murine FOXP3+ cells led to systemic inflammation. BMI1-deficient Tregs beared a TH1/TH17-like phenotype as assessed by assays of genome wide transcription, chromatin accessibility and proteomic techniques. Finally, BMI1 mutant FOXP3+ cells did not suppress colitis in the adoptive transfer model of human inflammatory bowel disease. We propose that BMI1 plays an important role in enforcing Treg identity in vitro and in vivo. Loss of Treg identity via genetic or transient BMI1 depletion perturbs the epigenome and converts Tregs into Th1/Th17-like proinflammatory cells, a transition relevant to human Crohn’s disease associated CD4+ T cells.

TIGIT+ Tregs

Project description:TIGIT+ Tregs suppress Th1 and Th17 responses while sparing Th2 responses. Analysis of global gene expression of TIGIT+ vs. TIGIT- Tregs from naive mice reveled that TIGIT+ Tregs display an activated phenotype and are enriched for Treg signature genes including the Treg effector molecule Fgl2 which enables them to selectively spare Th2 responses. TIGIT+ and TIGIT- Tregs were sorted from naïve Foxp3-GFP KI mice (pooled spleen and lymph nodes) TIGIT: T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains

CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional regulatory T cells circulating in the human peripheral blood

Project description:The therapeutic use of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with autoimmune disorders has been hampered by the biological variability of memory Treg populations in the peripheral blood. In this study, we reveal through a combination of quantitative proteomic, multiparametric flow cytometry, RNA-seq data analysis and functional assays, that CD49f is heterogeneously expressed among human Tregs and impacts their immunomodulatory function. High expression of CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional Tregs in the human blood characterized by a Th17-like phenotype and impaired suppressive capacity. CD49f is similarly distributed between naïve and memory Tregs and impacts the expression of CD39, CTLA-4, FoxP3 and CCR6 specifically in the memory compartment. Accumulation of CD49f high memory Tregs in the blood of ulcerative colitis patients correlates with disease severity. Our results highlight important considerations for Treg immunotherapy design in patients with inflammatory bowel disease which could possibly extend to other autoimmune disorders.

CXCR3+ Treg cells suppress Th1-immune responses through expression of the co-inhibitory receptors CD85k and Lag-3

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells are essential for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing excessive immune responses. In the context of Th1 immune responses, co-expression of the Th1 transcription factor T-bet with Foxp3 is essential for Treg cells to control Th1 responses. T-bet-dependent expression of CXCR3 directs Tregs to the site of inflammation, however, the suppressive mediators enabling effective control of Th1 responses at this site are unknown. In this study, we determined the signature of CXCR3+ Treg cells arising in Th1 settings and defined universal features of Treg cells in this context using multiple Th1-dominated models. Our analysis defined a set of Th1-specific co-inhibitory receptors that are specifically expressed in Treg cells during Th1 immune responses. Among these, we identified the novel co-inhibitory receptor CD85k as a functional mediator of the enhanced suppression of Th1 effector cells by CXCR3+ Treg cells.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Specialized Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity - 5 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.

Induction of stable human FOXP3+ Tregs by a parasite-derived TGF-β mimic

Project description:Objectives. Immune homeostasis in the intestinal tract is tightly controlled by FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), with loss of this Treg-mediated control linked to development of chronic conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As a mechanism of immune evasion, several species of intestinal parasites strengthen intestinal Treg activity, leading to the notion that parasite-derived products could be harnessed and used as an immunoregulatory therapy for IBD. It has been previously demonstrated that the parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus secretes a molecule (Hp-TGM) which mimics the ability of TGF-β to induce FOXP3 expression in CD4+ T cells. Our aim was to investigate whether Hp-TGM could induce human FOXP3+ Tregs as a potential therapeutic approach. Methods. Human CD4+ T cells from healthy volunteers were expanded in the presence of Hp-TGM or mammalian TGF-β. The induction of Tregs was measured by flow cytometric detection of FOXP3 and other Treg markers, such as CTLA-4 and CD25. Epigenetic changes were detected using ChIP-Seq and pyrosequencing of FOXP3. Treg phenotype stability was assessed following inflammatory cytokine challenge and Treg function was assessed by cellular co-culture suppression assays and secreted cytokines measured by cytometric bead array. Results. Hp-TGM efficiently induced FOXP3 expression (>60%), in addition to another Treg functional marker CTLA-4. Hp-TGM caused epigenetic modification of the FOXP3 loci to a greater extent than did TGF-β. Hp-TGM-induced Tregs also had superior suppressive function compared to TGF--induced Tregs, and retained their phenotype following exposure to inflammatory cytokines. Hp-TGM also induced a Treg phenotype in in vivo differentiated Th17 cells, indicating its potential to re-program memory cells to enhance immune tolerance. Conclusion. These data indicate Hp-TGM has the potential to be used to generate stable human FOXP3+ Tregs to treat IBD.
