Project description:we reported single-cell gene expression of CD4+ T cells from the visceral adipose tissue of from male Foxp3-Cre.YFP bmal1WT or Foxp3-Cre.YFP bmal1flox/flox mice, and from spleen from bmal1WT mice, at ZT0 or ZT12. We found that VAT Tregs could be subdivided into five subtypes: p1 ST2+, p2 ST2+, Tbet+, IL18r+ and resting clusters. We found diurnal variation within the ST2+ subgroups, where the more activated p1 ST2+ Tregs were more represented at ZT0 in WT VAT Tregs. Such variations were not observed in splenic Tregs. In contrast, bmal1KO VAT Tregs were were enriched in the ST2+ Tregs, and had a constitutively high proportion of the p1 ST2+ subtype at ZT0 and ZT12.

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical mediators of peripheral tolerance and immune homeostasis. Tregs that express the IL-33 receptor ST2 are enriched in peripheral nonlymphoid tissues and can exert a variety of tissue-specific functions from metabolic regulation within adipose tissue to skeletal muscle repair. However, the relationship between ST2+ and ST2- Tregs within and across different tissues remains unclear. To compare murine ST2- and ST2+ Tregs within and across tissues, we performed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) of ST2-CD44hi and ST2+CD44hi Tregs from blood, spleen, lungs, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), colon, and skin. RNAseq was also performed on ST2- CD44lo CD62L+ Tregs from the spleen and lungs. We found that the tissue microenvironment was the major factor shaping the transcriptome of Tregs across tissues. Across the tissues studied, Treg transcriptomes displayed an ordered hierarchy that may represent graded levels of activation or differentiation across tissues. We also identified a core signature that distinguished ST2+ Tregs from ST2- Tregs across tissues and a large number of differentially expressed genes between ST2- and ST2+ Tregs within individual tissues that could support the tissue-specific adaptation and function of ST2+ Tregs. In summary, our work highlights the unique, tissue-specific phenotype of ST2+ Tregs and reveals a core ST2+ Treg transcriptional signature shared across tissues.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) was induced in Foxp3/eGFP reporter mice by the azoxymethane/dextran sulphate sodium salt (AOM/DSS) protocol. Mice were injected i.p. with the procarcinogen AOM (12.5 mg/kg of body weight). After 1 week, mice received drinking water supplemented with 2.5% DSS for 5 to 7 days, followed by 2 weeks of regular water. The DSS administration was repeated twice with 2% DSS. Mice were sacrificed at week 11 and lamina propia lymphocytes (LPLs) from the colon were isolated. CD4+FOXP3+ (eGFP+) ST2+ or ST2- Tregs were separated from colonic LPLs of CRC induced mice using a FACSAria II cell sorter. Microarray analysis was performed to analyze if ST2+ FOXP3+ Tregs from the colon of CRC mice present a distinct transcription pattern compared to ST2- FOXP3+ Tregs. By this, the role of ST2 for Treg function during intestinal tumorigenesis should be characterized.

Project description:Recruitment of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to tumors is a hallmark of cancer progression. However, the role of epithelial cell-derived cytokines in regulation of Treg cells in colorectal cancers is not fully understood. We found a subset of Tregs co-expressing the receptors for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 (TSLPR+ST2+ Tregs) was increased in colorectal tumors in humans and mice. This Treg subset expressed high levels of CTLA-4 and PD-1, and TSLPR signaling regulated the expression of CTLA-4 and number of TSLPR+ST2+ Tregs. Treg-specfic deletion of TSLPR resulted in a reduction in tumor number and size, with concomitant increase of Th1 cells in tumors. Similarly, blockade of TSLP effectively inhibited progression of colorectal tumors. On the other hand, TSLPR-ST2+ Tregs highly express Tgfb1 and Pdcd,1 which have been shown to suppress CD8+ T cell immune responses. Collectively, TSLP and IL-33 differentially regulate subsets of Tregs in the progression of colorectal tumor. These data suggest that TSLPR+ST2+ Treg cells are potentially a biomarker, and a therapeutic target for CRC.

Project description:Because of the extensive data in mice supporting the concept that ST2+ Tregs might have desirable therapeutic properties, including tissue repair function, high suppressive capacity, and enhanced stability, we engineered human blood Tregs to constitutively express ST2 (IL-33R). Here we used RNA sequencing to explore the effects of short-term culture with IL-33 on human ST2-transduced Tregs.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are enriched in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and suppress anti-tumor immunity. However, the origin of tumor-infiltrating (TI) Tregs and the molecular mechanism underlying their TME accumulation are poorly understood. Although IL-33 was reported to regulate the expansion and function of Tregs, its direct role on TI Tregs and its contribution to tumor progression remain uncertain. Firstly, we demonstrated TI Tregs were primarily thymus-derived. More importantly, we found using comparative transcriptome analysis that proliferation-related genes were prominently upregulated in TI Tregs compared with TI CD4+Foxp3− conventional T cells or splenic Tregs of same tumor-bearing mice. One of these genes, ST2, an interleukin-33 (IL-33) receptor, was identified as a potential factor driving Treg accumulation in the TME. Indeed, IL-33-directed ST2 signaling induced the preferential proliferation of TI Tregs and enhanced tumor progression, while genetic deletion of ST2 in Tregs limited their TME accumulation and delayed tumor growth. These data demonstrate the IL-33/ST2 axis in Tregs as one of the critical pathways for the preferential accumulation of thymus-derived Tregs in the TME and suggest the axis as a potential therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:The mechanism of egress of mature regulatory T cells (Tregs) from the thymus to the periphery remains enigmatic, as does the nature of those factors expressed in the thymic environment. Here, we examined the fate of thymic Tregs in TNFα/RelA double-knockout (TA-KO) mice, because TA-KO mice retain a Treg population in the thymus but have only a small Treg population at the periphery. Transplantation of whole TA-KO thymus to under the kidney capsule of Rag1 null mice failed to induce the production of donor-derived splenic Tregs expressing neuropilin-1 (Nrp1), which was reported to be a marker of naturally occurring Tregs, indicating that TA-KO thymic Tregs either do not leave the thymus or are lost at the periphery. We next transplanted enriched TA-KO thymic Tregs to the peripheries of TA-KO mice and traced mouse survival. Transplantation of TA-KO thymic Tregs rescued the lethality in TA-KO mice, demonstrating that TA-KO thymic Tregs remain functional at the periphery. The TA-KO thymic Treg population had highly demethylated CpG motifs in the foxp3 locus, indicating that the cells were arrested at a late-mature stage. Also, the population included a large subpopulation of Tregs expressing IL-7Rα, which is a possible marker of late-mature Tregs. Finally, TA-KO fetal liver chimeric mice developed an Nrp1+ splenic Treg population from TA-KO cells, suggesting that Treg arrest is caused by a lack of RelA in the thymic environment. Together, these results suggest that egress of mature Tregs from the thymus depends on RelA in the thymic environment. For the isolation of thymic Tregs, CD4+CD8α-CD25hi thymocytes were isolated from five 1.5- to 2-week-old TNFα-KO or TA-KO mice by using a FACSAria cell sorter. For the isolation of thymic stromal cells, 10 thymi from 1.5- to 2-week-old TNFα-KO or TA-KO mice were minced with scissors and treated with RPMI 1640 supplemented with 2% FCS, 0.2 mg/ml collagenase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), 0.2 mg/ml dispase I (Roche), and 100 U/ml DNase I (Life Technologies) for 30 min with stirring. Digested thymi were centrifuged in a Percoll (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) gradient (density, 1.115, 1.065, and PBS) at 1400g for 30 min. Cells in the upper layer were collected, and the CD45-EpCAM+ (thymic epithelial cells) and CD45+EpCAM- populations (enriched thymic stromal cells containing macrophages or dendritic cells) were sorted.

Project description:We describe the effects of Treg ST2 expression on muscle regeneration. We compare regneration from cryo-injured tibialis anterior muscle from Foxp3-Cre/ST2-flox vs Foxp3-Cre mice 8 days post-injury. These analyses from whole muscle provide insight into the role of muscle Tregs in the context of regeneration. The tibialis anterior muscle from male Foxp3-Cre/ST2 flox or Foxp3-Cre/ST2 WT C57BL/6 mice (2 months old) were cryo-injured using a liquid nitrogen chilled metal probe for 8 seconds. 8 days post-injury whole muscle was harvested and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Whole muscle was then homogenized directly in TriZol and gene expression profiling was performed on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.
