Iron capture through CD71 dictates perinatal and tumoral Treg expansion modulating iron homeostasis and gut microbiota colonization

ABSTRACT: Beside suppressing immune responses, regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain tissue homeostasis and control systemic metabolism. Whether iron, a fundamental element for all living cells, is required for Treg expansion, is completely unknown. Here, we showed that the transferrin receptor CD71 was upregulated on activated proliferating Tregs infiltrating human liver cancer. Mice with a Treg-restricted CD71 deficiency spontaneously developed a scurfy-like disease, caused by a severe impairment in perinatal Treg expansion. CD71-null Tregs display decreased proliferation and mitochondrial functions, and a tissue-Treg signature loss. In the perinatal life, CD71 deficiency in Tregs triggered a hepatic response to iron overload, characterized by increased hepcidin transcription and iron accumulation in macrophages. A lower bacterial diversity, and a reduction of beneficial species, were detected in the faecal microbiota of CD71 conditional knock-out neonates. Our findings indicate that the CD71-mediated iron absorption is required for Treg perinatal expansion and controls the systemic iron homeostasis, which in turn shapes the bacterial gut colonization.

Transcriptional impact of iron in ILC3 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Iron metabolism is pivotal for cell fitness in the mammalian host. However, its role in group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) is unknown. Here we show that transferrin receptor CD71-mediated iron metabolism cell-intrinsically controls ILC3 maintenance, cytokine production and host protection against Citrobacter rodentium infection, and metabolically affects mitochondrial respiration by switching of oxidative phosphorylation toward glycolysis. Iron deprivation or Tfrc deficiency reduces the expression and/or activity of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a ligand-dependent transcription factor and a key ILC3 regulator. Furthermore, consistent with its role in generation of Ahr ligand, microbiome exerts a negative impact on CD71 expression in an Ahr-dependent manner. Genetic ablation or activation of Ahr in ILC3s leads to CD71 upregulation or downregulation, respectively, suggesting an active suppression of CD71 by Ahr. Iron overload partially restores defective ILC3 compartment in the small intestine of Ahr-deficient mice, representing compensatory action of CD71 upregulation during Ahr deficiency. Mechanistically, Ahr directly binds to the promoter region of the Tfrc locus to inhibit Tfrc transcription. These data collectively demonstrate an under-appreciated role of the Ahr-CD71-iron axis in regulation of ILC3 maintenance and function.

Critical Requirement of the DNA Methyltransferase, Dnmt1, for the Development and Function of Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells

Project description:We investigated the role of DNMT1 in immune homeostasis by generating mice lacking DNMT1 in Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells. These mice showed decreased peripheral Foxp3+ Tregs, complete loss of Foxp3+ Treg suppressive functions in vitro and in vivo, and died from autoimmunity by 3-4 weeks unless they received perinatal transfer of wild-type Tregs that prolonged their survival. Methylation of CpG-sites in the TSDR region of Foxp3 was unaffected by DNMT1 deletion, but microarray revealed more >500 proinflammatory and other genes were upregulated in DNMT1-/- Tregs. CD4-Cre-mediated DNMT1 deletion showed inability of conventional T cells to convert to Foxp3+ Treg under appropriate polarizing conditions. Hence, DNMT1 is absolutely necessary for maintenance of the gene program required for normal Treg development and function.

Comparison of expression profiles of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells

Project description:Analysis of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells. Results indicate regulatory T cell (Treg) ontogenesis requires two independent processes, expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 and establishment of Treg epigenetic programs induced by T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. GFP+CD4+ and GFP-CD4+ splenocytes were sorted from DEREG and DEREG/Scurfy mice. These cells were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies, and then transduced with Foxp3-expressing retrovirus (pGCSamIN, NGFR marker). NGFR+ T cells sorted were subjected to microarray analysis (Affymetrix, mouse genome 430 2.0 array). To normalize the experimental conditions, Tregs (GFP+ T cells from DEREG) and Tconv (GFP- T cells from DEREG) were also activated and transduced with empty vector. Two replicates each.

FoxP3-mediated blockage of ryanodine receptor 2 is the molecular basis for the contact-based suppression by regulatory T cells

Project description:The suppression mechanism of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is an intensely investigated topic. As our focus has shifted towards a model centered on indirect inhibition of dendritic cells, a universally applicable effector mechanism controlled by the transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) expression has not been found. Here, we report that FoxP3 blocks the transcription of ER Ca2+-release channel ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2). Reduced RyR2 shuts down basal Ca2+ oscillation in Tregs, which reduces m-Calpain activities that is needed for T cells to disengage from DCs, suggesting a persistent blockage of DC antigen presentation. RyR2 deficiency renders the CD4+ T cell pool to become immune suppressive, and behave in the same manner as FoxP3+ Tregs in viral infection, asthma, hypersensitivity, colitis and tumor development. In the absence of FoxP3, RyR2-deficient CD4+ T cells (CKO) rescue the systemic autoimmunity associated with Scurfy mice. Therefore, FoxP3-mediated Ca2+ signaling inhibition may be a central effector mechanism of Treg immune suppression.

RNAseq analysis for tails, and ears from Ikbkb mut/mut and Ikbkb wt/wt mice

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations have provided crucial insights into the immunoregulatory actions of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). By contrast, we know very little about the consequences of defects that amplify aspects of Treg function or differentiation. We report that mice heterozygous for an Ikbkb gain-of-function (GoF) mutation develop psoriasis. Doubling the gene dose (IkbkbGoF/GoF) results in dactylitis, spondylitis, and characteristic nail changes, which are features of psoriatic arthritis. IkbkbGoF mice exhibit a selective expansion of Foxp3+ CD25+ Tregs of which a subset express IL-17. These modified Tregs were enriched at the inflamed tissues and spleen, and their transfer was sufficient to induce disease without conventional T cells. Single-cell transcriptional and phenotyping analyses of isolated Tregs revealed expansion of non-lymphoid tissue (tissue-resident) Tregs expressing Th17-related genes, Helios, tissue-resident markers including CD103 and CD69, and a prominent NF-kB transcriptome. Thus, IKK2 regulates tissue-resident Treg differentiation, and overactivity drives dose-dependent skin and systemic inflammation.

RNA-Seq of human regulatory T cells and effector T cells cultured at standard 37C temperature and in mild hypothermia (33C).

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play crucial role in maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Numerous clinical trials confirmed safety and efficacy of Treg treatment of for deleterious immune responses. However, Tregs lose their characteristic phenotype and suppressive potential during expansion ex vivo. In our experiment we demonstrate that mild hypothermia of 33C induces robust proliferation of human Tregs, preserves expression of FoxP3, CD25 and Helios, and prevents TSDR methylation during culture in vitro. Tregs expanded at 33C showed stronger immunosuppressive potential and anti-inflammatory phenotype. We show that a simple change in temperature can preserve Treg stability, function and accelerate their proliferation in vitro.

Effect of Sin3a deletion on gene expression within FoxP3+ T-regulatory cells

Project description:Foxp3 (forkhead box protein 3) functions as the master transcriptional regulator of Treg phenotype. Histone deacetylases 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) contribute to the regulation of FoxP3 expression via interactions with a myriad of co-regulatory factors. While the nuclear scaffolding protein, Sin3a, has been well established as a co-factor of HDAC1/2, its role within FoxP3+ Tregs has not been. We analyzed the effects of conditional deletion of Sin3a in Foxp3+ Treg cells using three orthogonal approaches. Deletion of Sin3a from FoxP3+ Tregs resulted in the rapid onset of severe and fatal autoimmunity mirroring the phenotype of Scurfy mice. Numbers of Tregs were greatly reduced, residual Tregs had virtually complete loss of suppressive function, and inducible Treg production was blocked. Mice also showed activation of effector T cells, autoantibody production and widespread tissue injury. Mechanistically, Sin3a deletion resulted in decreased transcription of Foxp3 and other Treg signature genes. The reduction of Foxp3 expression was accompanied by the reduction of TET1 and 3 expression and a complete lack of CpG demethylation of the Foxp3 enhancer region CNS2. In addition, Foxp3 protein stability was impaired and fate mapping studies showed conversion of Tregs to ex-Tregs and increased rates of programmed cell death. Thus, Sin3a plays a critical role in the maintenance of Treg identity and function and is essential for the expression and stability of Foxp3.

A Liver Hepcidin-Intestinal HIF-2α Axis Regulates Iron Absorption During Systemic Iron Deficiency, Hypoxia and Hemochromatosis

Project description:Iron-related disorders are among the most prevalent diseases worldwide. Systemic iron homeostasis requires hepcidin (Hamp), a hepatic-derived hormone that controls iron mobilization through its molecular target, ferroportin (FPN), the only known mammalian iron exporter. Here, we took a transcriptomic approach to to compare the duodenal transcriptome during systemic iron demand to that of hepcidin-deficiency iron overload. Hampfl/fl (control) and AlbCreERT2;Hampfl/fl mice were placed on iron-replete and low-iron diets and were sacrificed two weeks following tamoxifen treatment. Duodenum RNA expression was compared across genotypes and across iron-replete and low iron diets.

IL-27 stimulation in Foxp3+ Tregs improves suppressive function and therapeutic efficacy

Project description:Foxp3 expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the central regulator of immune homeostasis and tolerance. As it is believed that proper Treg function is compromised under inflammatory conditions, exploring a pathway that enhances Treg function is of great importance. In this study, we report that IL-27, an IL-12 family cytokine known to play both pro- and anti-inflammatory role in T cells, plays a pivotal role in Treg function to control T cell-induced colitis. Unlike WT Tregs capable of inhibiting colitogenic T cell expansion and inflammatory cytokine expression, IL-27R-deficient Tregs were unable to downregulate inflammatory T cell responses. Tregs stimulated with IL-27 expressed substantially enhanced suppressive function both in vitro and in vivo. IL-27 stimulation of Tregs induced expression of LAG3, a surface molecule implicated in negatively regulating immune responses. LAG3 expression in IL-27-stimulated Tregs was critical to mediate suppressive Treg function. Finally, human Tregs also displayed enhanced suppressive function and LAG3 expression in response to IL-27 stimulation. Taken together, our results highlight a novel function of the IL-27/LAG3 axis in Treg regulation of inflammatory responses in the intestine. FACS purified Foxp3+ Tregs were stimulated in the presence of media or IL-27 to compare IL-27 induced gene profiles. Four samples (media stimulated or IL-27-stimulated) were collected from four independent experiments. Genes altered by IL-27 treatment were compared to those of media stimulated Tregs.

Regulatory T cells promote endurance exercise adaptation by shielding muscle mitochondria from damage

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>
