Project description:The role of IL-33 and its receptor ST2 in kidney injury is not well understood. This study demonstrates the importance of ST2 expression on the T-regulatory cells (Tregs) for the resolution of renal injury by suppressing inflammation and fibrosis. Treg-specific deletion of ST2, detrimentally impacted late outcomes of renal injury worsening the impairment of kidney function, inflammation, and fibrosis.

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:Bcl6 play a key role in CD4+ T cell development including follicular regulatory T cells. However, the role of Bcl6 in Treg cells in context of allergic inflammation was not fully understood. In this study, we describe the role of Bcl6 in development and function of ST2+Treg cells by analyzing ST2+Treg cell RNA seq.

Project description:The effects of IL-33 on ST2+ Treg cells were not studied thouroughly. We FACS-sorted in vitro expanded ST2+ Treg cells from C57BL/6 Foxp3-IRES-mRFP (B6 FIR) mice. We next used RNA-seq techonology to define how recombinant IL-33 (rIL-33) may impact mouse Treg by to assessing the transcriptome of IL-33-stimulated ST2+ Treg cells compared to that of untreated ST2+ Treg cells. Our data revealed that ST2+ Treg stimulated with rIL-33 for 6 hours exhibited increased expression of Il10 and Il13 compared to unstimulated ST2+ Treg cells.

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: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.

Project description:CD4+T cells are differentiated into Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells after Antigen presentation by other cell types such as dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells in Lymph nodes. Those differentiated CD4+T cells are subdivided into cell subsets by their producing cytokines and surface markers. We recently identified that ST2 expressing Th2 cells highly produced IL-5 comparing to ST2- Th2 cells in helminth infection. In this study, we investigated the RNAseq analysis to characterize these Th2 cells.

Project description:IL-33 is constitutively expressed in many epithelial tissues at steady state and signals through the receptor, ST2. IL-33 is released upon tissue injury and functions as an endogenous danger signal to alert the immune system to tissue damage. Here we investigate the physiological role of the IL-33/ST2 axis in skin homeostasis and cancer development. We show that expression of IL-33 differentiates malignant from normal/benign human tissues and that in mouse models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma the IL-33/ST2 axis protects against carcinogenesis. Tissue Treg are the predominant cells expressing ST2 in the skin and localise around the hair follicle and IL-33+ epithelial cells (EC). Adoptive transfer experiments demonstrate that skin Treg regulate EC differentiation, minimizes mutational load and retrains cancer development following exposure to an environmental carcinogen. Our findings indicate an important role for direct EC-Treg cross-talk as an early checkpoint to contain tissue damage and carcinogenesis.

Project description:FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play crucial roles in peripheral immune tolerance. In addition, Tregs that reside or accumulate in nonlymphoid tissues, called tissue Tregs, exhibit tissue-specific functions and contribute to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair. In an experimental mouse model of crescentic glomerulonephritis induced by an anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody, Tregs started to accumulate in the kidney on day 10 of disease onset and remained at high levels (~30–35% of CD4+ T cells) during the late stage (days 21–90), which correlated with stable disease control. Treg depletion on day 21 resulted in the relapse of renal dysfunction and an increase in Th1 cells, suggesting that Tregs are essential for disease control during the convalescence stage. The Tregs that accumulated in the kidney showed tissue Treg phenotypes, including high expression of GATA3, ST2 (the IL33 receptor subunit), amphiregulin (Areg), and PPARγ. Although T-bet+ Tregs and RORγt+ Tregs were observed in the kidney, GATA3+ Tregs were predominant during the convalescence stage, and a PPARγ agonist enhanced the accumulation of GATA3+ Tregs in the kidney. To understand the function of specific genes in kidney Tregs, we developed a novel T cell transfer system to T cell-deficient mice. This experiment demonstrates that ST2, Areg, and CCR4 in Tregs play important roles in the accumulation of GATA3+ Tregs in the kidney and in the amelioration of renal injury. Our data suggest that GATA3 is important for the recruitment of Tregs into the kidney, which is necessary for convalescence after renal tissue destruction.
