NFATc1/αA and Blimp-1 support the follicular and effector phenotype of Tregs

ABSTRACT: CD4+CXCR5+Foxp3+ T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells control the germinal center responses. Like follicular helper T-cells, they express high levels of Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells c1, predominantly its short isoform NFATc1/αA. Ablation of NFATc1 in Tregs prevents upregulation of CXCR5 and migration of TFR cells into B-cell follicles. By contrast, constitutive active NFATc1/αA defines the surface density of CXCR5, whose level determines how deep a TFR migrates into the GC and how effectively it controls antibody production. NFATc1/αA is necessary to overcome TFR-expressed B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein (Blimp-1), which can directly repress Cxcr5. Blimp-1 then reinforces the recruitment of NFATc1 to Cxcr5 by protein-protein interaction and by those means cooperates with NFATc1 for Cxcr5 transactivation. On the contrary, Blimp-1 is necessary to counterbalance NFATc1/αA, which strengthens the follicular development of Tregs, but bears the inherent risk of causing an ex-Treg phenotype.

Decreased TFR/TFH ratio in SIV-infected rhesus macaques may contribute to accumulation of TFH cells in chronic infection

Project description:T follicular helper cells (TFH) are critical for the development and maintenance of germinal centers (GC) and humoral immune responses. During chronic HIV/SIV infection TFH accumulate, possibly as a result of antigen persistence. The HIV/SIV-associated TFH expansion may also reflect lack of regulation by suppressive follicular regulatory CD4+ T-cells (TFR). TFR are natural regulatory T-cells (TREG) that migrate into the follicle and, similarly to TFH, up-regulate CXCR5, Bcl-6, and PD1. Here we identified TFR as CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CXCR5+PD1hiBcl-6+ within lymph nodes of rhesus macaques (RM) and confirmed their localization within the GC by immunohistochemistry. RNA sequencing showed that TFR exhibit a distinct transcriptional profile with shared features of both TFH and TREG, including intermediate expression of FoxP3, Bcl-6, PRDM1, IL-10, and IL-21. In healthy, SIV-uninfected RM, we observed a negative correlation between frequencies of TFR and both TFH and GC B-cells as well as levels of CD4+ T-cell proliferation. Following SIV infection, the TFR/TFH ratio was reduced with no change in the frequency of TREG or TFR within the total CD4+ T-cell pool. Finally, we examined whether higher levels of direct virus infection of TFR were responsible for their relative depletion post-SIV infection. We found that TFH, TFR and TREG sorted from SIV- infected RM harbor comparable levels of cell-associated viral DNA. Our data suggests that TFR may contribute to the regulation and proliferation of TFH and GC B-cells in vivo and that a decreased TFR/TFH ratio in chronic SIV infection may lead to unchecked expansion of both TFH and GC B-cells. TFR, TFH, TREG and bulk CD4 cells were sorted from spleens of 5 uninfected and 5 infected RM.

IL-10 induces a STAT3-dependent autoregulatory loop in Th2 cells that promotes Blimp-1 restriction of cell expansion via antagonism of STAT5 target genes

Project description:Blimp-1 expression in T cells extinguishes the T follicular helper cell fate and drives terminal differentiation, but also limits autoimmunity. Although various factors have been described to control Blimp-1 expression in T cells, little is known about what regulates Blimp-1 expression in Th2 cells and the molecular basis of its actions. Herein, we report that STAT3 unexpectedly played a critical role in regulating Blimp-1 in Th2 cells. Furthermore, we found that the cytokine IL-10 acted directly on Th2 cells and was necessary and sufficient to induce optimal Blimp-1 expression through STAT3. Together, Blimp-1 and STAT3 amplified IL-10 production in Th2 cells, creating a strong autoregulatory loop that enhanced Blimp-1 expression. Increased Blimp-1 in T cells antagonized STAT5-regulated cell cycle and anti-apoptotic genes to limit cell expansion. These data elucidate the signals required for Blimp-1 expression in Th2 cells and reveal an unexpected mechanism of action of IL-10 in T cells, providing insights into the molecular underpinning by which Blimp-1 constrains T cell expansion to limit autoimmunity.

IL-12 drives the diferentiation of human T follicular regulatory cells [CUT&RUN]

Project description:T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells can counteract the B cell-helper activity of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and hinder the production of antibodies against self-antigens or allergens. A mechanistic understanding of the cues initiating the differentiation of T regulatory (Treg) cells into Tfr cells, which is instrumental for the therapeutic manipulation of diseases associated with a Tfr cell imbalance, is still missing. Despite their opposed roles, Tfr and Tfh cell differentiation appears to be controlled by partially overlapping signals, including TCR stimulation and costimulatory molecules. However, it is still unknown if cytokines that have been shown to control the biology of human Tfh cells, including IL-12 and activin A, can influence the differentiation of Tfr cells. To address this question, we evaluated the impact of these two cytokines on the in vitro differentiation of Tfr cells. Herein, we report a role for IL-12 and down stream Stat4 chromatin binding in driving, on activated Treg cells, the induction of molecules that belong to the Tfr cell program, including CXCR5, PD-1, BCL6 and ICOS meanwhile preserving Tfr regulatory function.

Interleukin-2 receptor signaling acts as a checkpoint that shapes the distribution of regulatory T cell subsets (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) require IL-2 for survival in the periphery, yet how IL-2 shapes Treg heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Here we found that inhibition of IL-2R signaling in post-thymic Tregs leads to a preferential early loss of central Tregs (cTregs). Gene expression of cTregs was more dependent on IL-2R signaling than effector Tregs (eTregs). Unexpectedly, ablation of IL-2R signaling in cTregs resulted in increased proliferation, expression of eTreg genes, and enhanced capacity to develop into eTregs. These findings indicate that physiological amounts of IL-2 act as a checkpoint to maintain cTreg homeostasis and tolerance while restraining their development into eTregs. Nevertheless, direct evaluation of eTregs revealed that loss of IL-2R signaling alters the distribution of eTreg subsets, with increased IFNgR1+ eTregs and CXCR5+ PD-1+ T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells but decreased intestinal RORgt+ TR17 cells. Thus, IL-2R signaling also shapes the development of specialized eTregs subsets.

scRNA-seq of human Tfh, Tfr and Treg cells sorted from Tonsil, Iliac Lymph Node and PBMCs

Project description:The datasets were obtained to investigate the transcriptional profile of Tfh, Tfr and Treg cells isolated from different human tissues. The comparison between lymphoid tissues with different frequency of the most mature Tfh and Tfr cells allows the investigation of maturation as well as tissue adaptation of those different cell subsets. To address these issues, three different cell populations from three different tissues were sorted by index sorting, with Tfh cells as CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+; Tfr cells as CD4+CXCR5+CD25+ and Treg cells as CD4+CXCR5-CD25+. Smart-seq2 protocol was used mRNA library preparations.

miRNA expression in Blimp-1-deficient dendritic cells

Project description:Expression of Blimp-1 was specifically deleted in dendritic cells (DCs) by breeding Blimp-1 flox and CD11c-CRE mice. MiRNA expression was evaluated and compared from DCs, CD4+ T cells and total B cells from spleens of control and Blimp-1 KO mice. Age-matched (6-10 weeks old) female mice from control and Blimp-1 KO mice were sacrificed and spleens were collected. CD11chi/MHCIIhi DCs, CD4+TCRb+ T cells and B220+ B cells were sorted by FACSaria. MiRNA was measured from the total RNA preparation.
