Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag3) supports Foxp3+ Treg cell function by restraining c-Myc-dependent aerobic glycolysis

ABSTRACT: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag3) has emerged as the next-generation immune checkpoint molecule due to its ability to inhibit effector T cell activity. Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, a master regulator of immunity and tolerance, also highly express Lag3. While Lag3 is thought to be necessary for Treg cell-mediated regulation of immunity, the precise roles and underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. In this study, we report that Lag3 is indispensable for Treg cells to control autoimmune inflammation. Utilizing a newly generated Treg cell specific Lag3 mutant mouse model, we found that these animals are highly susceptible to autoimmune diseases, suggesting defective Treg cell function. Genome wide transcriptome analysis further uncovered that Lag3 mutant Treg cells upregulated genes involved in metabolic processes. Mechanistically, we found that Lag3 limits Treg cell expression of Myc, a key regulator of aerobic glycolysis. We further found that Lag3-dependent Myc expression determines Treg cells’ metabolic programming as well as the in vivo function to suppress autoimmune inflammation. Taken together, our results uncovered a novel function of Lag3 in supporting Treg cell suppressive function by regulating Myc-dependent metabolic programming.

Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 limits regulatory T cell proliferation and function in autoimmune diabetes

Project description:Inhibitory receptors (Irs) are pivotal in controlling T cell homeostasis because of their intrinsic regulation of conventional T (Tconv) cell proliferation, viability and function. However, the role of Irs on regulatory T (Treg) cells remains obscure, as they could be required for suppressive activity and/or limit Treg cell function. We evaluated the role of Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (LAG3, CD223) on Treg cells by generating mice in which LAG3 is absent on the cell surface of Treg cells in a murine model of Type 1 Diabetes. Surprisingly, mice that lacked LAG3 expression on Treg cells exhibited reduced autoimmune diabetes, consistent with enhanced Treg cell proliferation and function. Whereas the transcriptional landscape of peripheral wild-type (WT) and Lag3-deficient Treg cells was largely comparable, substantial differences between intra-islet Treg cells were evident and involved a subset of genes and pathways that promote Treg cell maintenance and function. Consistent with these observations, Lag3-deficient Treg cells out-competed WT Treg cells in the islets but not in the periphery in co-transfer experiments due to enhanced IL2-Stat5 signaling and Eos expression. Our study suggests that LAG3 intrinsically limits Treg cell proliferation and function at inflamed pancreas, promotes autoimmunity in a chronic autoimmune-prone environment and may contribute to Treg cell insufficiency in autoimmune disease

Homeostasis and transitional activation of regulatory T cells require c-Myc

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cell activation and expansion during neonatal life and in response to inflammation are critical for immunosuppression, yet the mechanisms governing these events are incompletely understood. We report that the oncogene and transcriptional regulator c-Myc (Myc) controls immune homeostasis through regulation of Treg cell accumulation and functional activation. Myc activity is enriched in Treg cells generated during neonatal life and responding to inflammation. Myc-deficient Treg cells show cell-intrinsic defects in overall accumulation and ability to transition to an activated state during early life or acute inflammation. Consequently, loss of Myc in Treg cells results in a rapid, early-onset autoimmune disorder accompanied by uncontrolled effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses. We also provide evidence that Myc regulates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism but is dispensable for fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Indeed, Treg cell-specific deletion of Cox10, which is required for oxidative phosphorylation, but not Cpt1a, the rate-limiting enzyme for FAO, results in impaired Treg cell function and maturation. Thus, Myc coordinates Treg cell accumulation, transitional activation and metabolic programming to orchestrate immune homeostasis. We used microarrays to compare the global transcription profiles of WT and Myc-null Treg cells.

Autoreactive CD8+ T cells are restrained by an exhaustion-like program that is maintained by LAG3

Project description:CD8+ T cell exhaustion is a distinct differentation state resulting from chronic antigen exposure and leading to hierarchical loss of effector functions. Using a murine model of diabetes, we show that CD8+ T cells derived from the islets of diabetic mice have CD8+ T cells that are canonically exhausted and yet retain sufficient effector function to contribute to pathogenicity in autoimmune diabetes. Genetic deletion of the inhibitory receptor LAG3 restricted to only CD8+ T cells lead to accelerated disease, with LAG3 deficient CD8+ T cells having enhanced effector function and trafficking. These findings reveal a distinct role of LAG3 in restraining autoreactive CD8+ T cells and implicate LAG3 as a potential therapeutic target in autoimmunity.

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.

AIM2 in regulatory T (Treg) cells restrains autoimmune diseases

Project description:The inflammasome initiates innate defense and inflammatory response by activating caspase-1 and pyroptotic cell death in myeloid cells1,2. It is comprised of an innate immune receptor/effector, pro-caspase-1 and a common adaptor molecule, ASC (apoptotic speck-containing protein with a CARD). Consistent with their pro-inflammatory function, inflammasome components including caspase-1, ASC and NLRP3, are known to exacerbate autoimmunity during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by enhancing IL-1 and IL-18 secretion in myeloid cells3-6. Here we show an unexpected function of a DNA-binding inflammasome effector, AIM2 (Absent in Melanoma 2)7-10, in restraining autoimmunity by performing EAE in both whole body and Treg-specific deletion of Aim2–/– mice. AIM2 is highly expressed by human and mouse Treg cells and it is essential to attenuate EAE. RNA-seq, biochemical and metabolic analyses revealed that AIM2 attenuates mTOR, Myc and immune-metabolic functions in both Treg cells isolated in vivo and Treg cells induced in vitro with TGF-. Importantly, we found AIM2 physically interacted with RACK1 in Treg cells to facility the PP2A/RACK1/Akt-mTOR signaling, which is identified as a central component downstream of AIM2 that controls Treg cell function and stability. While AIM2 is generally accepted as an inflammasome effector in myeloid cells, this report reveals a previously unappreciated T cell-intrinsic role of AIM2 in maintaining Treg cell function to restrain autoimmunity. This is achieved by diminishing Akt-mTOR signaling to regulate Treg stability under inflammation, and altering immune-metabolism in Treg cells.
