Single-cell Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Disparate Effector Differentiation Pathways in Human Treg Compartment [Treg patients]

ABSTRACT: Human FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are central to immune tolerance. However, their heterogeneity and differentiation remain incompletely understood. Here we use single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing to resolve Treg cells from healthy individuals and patients with or without acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) who undergo stem cell transplantation. These analyses, combined with functional assays, separate Treg cells into naïve/activated/effector stages, and resolve the HLA-DRhi, LIMS1hi, highly suppressive FOXP3hi, and highly proliferative MKI67hi effector subsets. Trajectory analysis assembles Treg subsets into two differentiation paths (I/II) with distinctive phenotypic/functional programs, ending with the FOXP3hi and MKI67hi subsets, respectively. Transcription factors FOXP3 and SUB1 contribute to some Path I and Path II phenotypes, respectively. These FOXP3hi and MKI67hi subsets and two differentiation pathways are conserved in transplanted patients, despite having functional/migratory impairments under aGVHD. The findings expand the understanding of Treg cell heterogeneity and differentiation and provide a single-cell atlas for the dissection of Treg complexity in health and disease.

Gene expression profiles of CD4SP Foxp3GFP-CD25+ Treg precursors and Foxp3GFP-CD25- thymocytes

Project description:We investigated at which stage of maturation commitment to a stable Foxp3-expressing phenotype takes place. We assessed stability of Foxp3 expression in thymic Foxp3+ Treg subsets of different maturity, defined by CD24 expression. Next we compared gene expression profiles of Foxp3+ Treg subsets (+) of different maturity (24lo, 24int, 24hi) and could identify a set of genes that were specifically up or downregulated in Foxp3+ Tregs, but not in Foxp3- conventional T cells, in a maturation-dependent manner. Gene expression of Foxp3+ Treg subsets (+) of different maturity (24lo, 24int, 24hi) compared to their Foxp3- conventional Tcell subsets (-) counterpart.

Treg specific Gata3 knock out array

Project description:The transcription factor Foxp3 is indispensible for the differentiation and function of regulatory T cells (Treg cells). To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of Foxp3 mediated gene expression we purified Foxp3 complexes and explored their composition. Biochemical and mass-spectrometric analyses revealed that Foxp3 forms multi-protein complexes of 400-800 kDa or larger and identified 361 associated proteins ~30% of which are transcription-related. Foxp3 directly regulates expression of a large proportion of the genes encoding its co-factors. Reciprocally, some transcription factor partners of Foxp3 facilitate its expression. Functional analysis of Foxp3 cooperation with one such partner, Gata3, provided further evidence for a network of transcriptional regulation afforded by Foxp3 and its associates to control distinct aspects of Treg cell biology. Gene expression profile of Treg specific knock-out of Gata3 vs. their littermate controls were analyzed to gain insight into Gata3 dependendent genes in Treg cells. Treg cells (CD4+CD25+YFP+) sorted from Gata3F/FFoxp3YFP-Cre and Gata3F/+Foxp3YFP-Cre mice (three mice in each group) followed by microarray analyses.

Human Treg LC-MSMS - Foxp3 drives oxidative phosphorylation and protection from lipotoxicity

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) have been shown to adopt a catabolic metabolic programme with increased capacity for fatty acid oxidation fuelled oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The role of Foxp3 in this metabolic shift is poorly understood. Here we show that Foxp3 was sufficient to induce a significant increase in the spare respiratory capacity of the cell, the extra OXPHOS capacity available to a cell to meet increased demands on energy in response to work. Foxp3-expressing cells were enhanced in their ability to utilise palmitate for respiration and, in addition, the activity of electron transport complexes I, II and IV were enhanced following Foxp3 expression. Foxp3 also imparts a selective advantage in ATP generation capacity, one that might be exploited as a source of adenosine for functional immunomodulation. In order to explore possible mechanisms for these differences in metabolism we conducted a quantitative proteomics study to compare the contribution of TGFβ and the transcription factor Foxp3 to the Treg proteome. We used quantitative mass spectrometry to examine differences between proteomes of nuclear and cytoplasmic Foxp3-containing CD4+ T cells from various sources with Foxp3- activated CD4 T cells, as well as Treg from human peripheral blood. Gene set enrichment analysis of our proteomic datasets demonstrated that Foxp3 expression is associated with a significant up regulation of several members of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Not only does Foxp3 influence genes directly concerned with immune function, but also with the energy generating functions of Treg.

The transcriptome analysis of Treg subset

Project description:The transcriptome analysis of WT and Tcf7/Lef1 double knockout (dKO) Treg subset CD4+ Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells are key players in preventing lethal autoimmunity and deleterious tissue inflammation. To fulfill these roles, Treg cells undergo activation and differentiate processes to acquire diverse functional properties. However, how Treg’s functional specifications are regulated during their differentiation remains poorly understood. Here we show that two TCF/LEF family transcription factors (TFs), TCF1 and LEF1 act redundantly as checkpoint regulators in peripheral Treg homeostatic differentiation and functional subset specification. We find that gradient expression of TCF1 and LEF1 distinguishes Treg cells into three distinct subsets. Sustained expression of TCF1/LEF1 retains Treg at their resting stage. Conversely, conditional knockout of TCF1 and LEF1 promotes the effector-like phenotype in bulk Treg cells, but surprisingly renders the mice susceptible to early onset of systemic autoimmunity. This uncoupling between Treg effector phenotype and their function in suppressing autoimmunity is attributed by two TCF1/LEF1-centered mechanisms. First, the ablation of TCF1 and LEF1 in Treg cells abolishes the generation of T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells, leading to unrestrained T follicular helper (Tfh) and germinal center B cell responses. Second, TCF1 and LEF1 are required for Treg survival under competitive conditions. Thus, TCF1 and LEF1 play critical roles in Treg homeostatic maintenance and Tfr generation.

Novel Foxo1-dependent Transcriptional Programs Control Treg Cell Function [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells characterized by expression of the transcription factor forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) maintain immune homeostasis by suppressing self-destructive immune responses1-4. Foxp3 operates as a late acting differentiation factor controlling Treg cell homeostasis and function5, whereas the early Treg cell lineage commitment is regulated by the Akt kinase and the forkhead box O (Foxo) family of transcription factors6-10. However, whether Foxo proteins act beyond the Treg cell commitment stage to control Treg cell homeostasis and function remains largely unexplored. Here we show that Foxo1 is a pivotal regulator of Treg cell function. Treg cells express high amounts of Foxo1, and display reduced T-cell receptor-induced Akt activation, Foxo1 phosphorylation, and Foxo1 nuclear exclusion. Mice with Treg cell-specific deletion of Foxo1 develop a fatal inflammatory disorder similar in severity to Foxp3-deficient mice, but without the loss of Treg cells. Genome-wide analysis of Foxo1 binding sites reveals ~300 Foxo1-bound target genes, including the proinflammatory cytokine Ifng, that do not appear to be directly regulated by Foxp3. These findings demonstrate that the evolutionarily ancient Akt-Foxo1 signaling module controls a novel genetic program indispensable for Treg cell function. Treg cells were isolated from wild-type B6 mice or Foxo1tagBirA mice in which foxo1 is endogenously biotinylated. Foxo1 binding targets in Treg cells were identified by using Foxo1 antibody- and Streptavidin- ChIP-Seq approaches.

Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signalling to control Treg homeostasis and Tfr development

Project description:Differentiation and homeostasis of Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) are tightly controlled by the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling, yet the mechanisms governing these processes are incompletely understood. Here we report that transcription factor Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signaling to coordinate Treg differentiation and homeostasis by directly repressed CD25 (IL-2Rα). Thus, Bach2 balances IL-2R signaling to orchestrate development and homeostasis of various Treg subsets.

Dynamic Foxp3-chromatin interaction controls tunable Treg cell function

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Nuclear factor Foxp3 determines regulatory T (Treg) cell fate and function via mechanisms that remain unclear. Here we investigate the nature of Foxp3-mediated gene regulation in suppressing autoimmunity and antitumor immune response. Contrasting with previous models, we find that Foxp3-chromatin binding is regulated by Treg activation states, tumor microenvironment, and antigen and cytokine stimulations. Proteomics studies uncovered dynamic proteins within the Foxp3 proximity upon TCR or IL-2 receptor signaling in vitro, reflecting intricate interactions among Foxp3, signal transducers, and chromatin. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic knockdown experiments indicate that NFAT and AP-1 protein Batf are required for enhanced Foxp3-chromatin binding in activated Treg cells and tumor-infiltrating Treg cells to modulate target gene expression. Furthermore, mutations at Foxp3 DNA-binding domain destabilize Foxp3-chromatin association. These representative settings delineate context-dependent Foxp3-chromatin interaction, suggesting that Foxp3 associates with chromatin by hijacking DNA-binding proteins resulting from Treg activation or differentiation, which is stabilized by direct Foxp3-DNA binding, to dynamically regulate Treg cell function according to immunological contexts.
