Project description:The gene expression profile of peripheral Foxp3+ natural regulatory T cells isolated from Foxp3/EGFP bicistronic mice was compared to that of in vitro-induced regulatory T cells and to CD4+ conventional (Foxp3-) T cells. The role of the regulatory T cell transcription factor Foxp3 in shaping the transcriptosomes of natural and induced regulatory T cells was analyzed using mice expressing a mutant FOXP3-EGFP fusion protein (Foxp3deltaEGFP). We used gene expression microarrays to examine the transcriptional programs of natural and induced regulatory T cells and the function of Foxp3 in organizing the transcriptosomes of the respective cell type Experiment Overall Design: Conventional T cells and natural and induced regulatory T cells were derived from Foxp3/EGFP bicistronic mice and analyzed for their gene expression profile. Conventional T cells, regulatory T cell precursors (CD4+Foxp3deltaEGFP+) and induced regulatory T cell precursors (CD4+Foxp3deltaEGFP+) cells were deriv ed from Foxp3deltaEGFP mice

Project description:During development, thymocytes bearing a moderately self-reactive T cell receptor (TCR) can be selected to become regulatory T (Treg) cells. Several observations suggest that also in the periphery mature Treg cells continuously receive self-reactive TCR signals. However, the importance of this inherent autoreactivity for Treg cell biology remains poorly defined. To address this open question, we genetically ablated the TCR of mature Treg cells in vivo. These experiments revealed that TCR-induced Treg lineage-defining FoxP3 expression and gene hypomethylation were uncoupled from TCR input in mature Treg cells. However, Treg cell homeostasis, cell-type-specific gene expression and suppressive function critically depend on continuous triggering of their TCR. TCRpos (FoxP3+ CD4+ CD25high cells from CM-NM-1F/F FoxP3 I eGFP mice) and TCRneg (FoxP3+ TCRM-bM-^@M-^S CD4+ CD25high cells from Mx-Cre CM-NM-1F/F FoxP3 I eGFP mice) Treg cells were FACS sorted 6 weeks after poly(I:C) injection. Cells from 3-5 mice were pooled for sorting, and 4 replicates for the controls (TCRpos) as well as 5 replicates for the Mx-Cre (TCRneg) mice were generated. mRNA from 3-5 x 105 cells was purified with a RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen), amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix M430 V2 microarrays

Project description:The tolerogenic anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD3) are promising compounds for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Anti-CD3 administration induces transient T-cell depletion both in preclinical and in clinical studies. Notably, said depletion mainly affects CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells. Moreover, T1D reversal in preclinical models is accompanied by the selective expansion of CD4+FOXP3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells, which are fundamental for the long-term maintenance of anti-CD3-mediated tolerance. The mechanisms that lead to this immune-shaping by affecting mainly CD4+ T effector cells while sparing CD4+FOXP3+ Treg cells have still to be fully elucidated. This study shows that CD3 expression levels differ from one T-cell subset to another. CD4+FOXP3- T cells contain higher amounts of CD3 molecules than do CD4+FOXP3+ and CD8+ T cells both in mice and in humans. Said differences may explain the anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting that occurs in vivo after anti-CD3 administration in mice. In addition, transcriptome analysis demonstrates that CD4+FoxP3+ Treg cells are significantly less responsive than CD4+FoxP3- T cells to anti-CD3 treatment at molecular levels. Thus, heterogeneity in CD3 expression likely confers the various T-cell subsets differing susceptibility to in vivo tolerogenic anti-CD3-mediated modulation. This data sheds new light on the molecular mechanism that underlies anti-CD3-mediated immune resetting, and thus may open new opportunities to improve this promising treatment.

Project description:<p>Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regulatory elements activated in response to exercise remain obscure. Here, we have addressed the roles of Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the healthful activities of exercise via immunologic, transcriptomic, histologic, metabolic and biochemical analyses of acute and chronic murine exercise models. Exercise rapidly induced expansion of the muscle Treg compartment, thereby guarding against over-exuberant production of interferon gamma and consequent metabolic disruptions, particularly mitochondrial aberrancies. Importantly, the performance-enhancing effects of exercise training were dampened in the absence of Tregs. Thus, exercise is a natural Treg booster with therapeutic potential in disease and aging contexts.</p>

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.

Project description:The relative contribution of induced and natural Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (iTreg and nTreg cells, respectively) to the maintenance of tolerance is unknown. We examined their respective roles by in vivo adoptive transfer immunotherapy of newborn Foxp3-deficient BALB/c mice. Survival, weight gain, tissue infiltration, T cell activation, and the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines were used as outcome measurements. Treatment with iTreg cells alone was not successful. While effective in preventing death, treatment with nTreg cells alone was associated with chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. Outcomes markedly improved when conventional T (Tconv) cells were transferred together with the nTreg cells, where 10% of the peripheral Treg cell pool was derived by in-situ conversion. This enhancement depended upon the capacity of Tconv cells to express Foxp3. The gene expression profile of in vivo derived iTreg cells was similar to the established nTreg cell genetic signature. These results identify iTreg cells as an essential regulatory subset that supplements tolerance maintained by nTreg cells. Purified cells sorted by flow cytometry from 4-8 treated mice(pooled EGFP+ Thy1.1+ iTreg cells with that of EGFP+ Thy1.1+ nTreg cells sorted from the spleens and lymph nodes of treated mice) were used to generate total RNA for each iTreg and nTreg array set, which was labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 GeneChips in accordance to the manufacturer’s protocol. Three sets of arrays were performed, and the results were averaged. Both iTreg and nTreg array sets were compared to a) naïve CD4+EGFP– Tconv cells from Foxp3EGFP mice and b) in vitro derived iTreg cells 72 hours after Foxp3 induction, generated earlier. The subset of probe sets whose expression increased or decreased by twofold or more relative to Tconv cells as a common standard was identified and used for further analysis.

Project description:A variety of CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cell types have been described previously, indicating molecular heterogeneity within the Foxp3+ pool of CD4+ T cells. However, the factors that shape the transcriptomic identities of different Foxp3+ Treg cells are poorly understood. To identify the molecular pathways involved, we isolated CD4+Foxp3gfp+ cells from Th1-rich or Th2-rich environments following chronic Leishmania major or Schistosoma mansoni infection, respectively. Whole genome expression profiling and next generation small RNA sequencing revealed significantly different mRNA and miRNA profiles. In-silico analyses identified miR-10a and miR-182 as âregulatory miRNA hubsâ in CD4+Foxp3+ cells in Th1 and Th2-environments, respectively. Using in vitro and in vivo systems we identified that IL-12/IFNg down-regulated miR-10a and its putative transcription factor, Creb. Importantly, we demonstrated that miR-10a controls a suite of genes that regulate IFNg production in Th1-Treg cells. Also, Treg cells treated with IL-4 increased miR-182 and its putative transcription factor, cMaf. Up-regulation of miR-182 mitigated IL-2 secretion, in part through repression of IL2-promoting genes, including Bach2 and Cd2ap. This study indicates that CD4+Foxp3+ cells are influenced by their environment, and that Th1 or Th2 environments promote distinct miRNA pathways, preserving Treg stability and suppressor function. mouse infection vs. naïve

Project description:The maintenance of immune homeostasis requires regulatory T cells (Tregs). Given their intrinsic self-reactivity, Tregs must stably maintain a suppressive phenotype to avoid autoimmunity. We report that impaired expression of the transcription factor (TF) Helios by FoxP3+ CD4 and Qa-1-restricted CD8 Tregs results in defective regulatory activity and autoimmunity in mice. Helios-deficient Treg develop an unstable phenotype during inflammatory responses characterized by reduced FoxP3 expression and increased effector cytokine expression secondary to diminished activation of the STAT5 pathway. CD8 Treg also require Helios-dependent STAT5 activation for survival and to prevent terminal T cell differentiation. Definition of Helios as a key transcription factor that stabilizes regulatory T-cells in the face of inflammatory responses provides a genetic explanation for a core property of regulatory T-cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programs of gene expression by CD8 Treg (CD44+CD122+Ly49+) and conventional memory type of CD8 cells (CD44+CD122+Ly49-).
