Molecular plasticity of regulatory T cells in allogeneic stem cell transplantation

ABSTRACT: Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is still one of the major complications following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) triggered by alloreactive donor T cells. Whereas murine data have clearly shown the beneficial effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) on the development of GvHD, data from the human system are rare mainly due to low cell numbers of circulating or organ-infiltrating Tregs in lymphopenic patients. Here, we present a comparative analysis of Tregs from patients with and without acute/ chronic GvHD designed as a dynamical approach studying the whole genome profile over the first 6 months after SCT. For this purpose, blood samples were collected monthly for FACS-based isolation of CD4+CD25highCD127low/- Tregs. The Treg transcriptome showed a high stability in the first half year representing the most sensitive time window for tolerance induction. However, the comparison of the Treg transcriptome from patients with and without GvHD uncovered regulated gene transcripts that point to a reduced suppressive function of Tregs with diminished migration capacity to the target organs likely contributing to the development of GvHD. These findings highlight the critical role of human Tregs in the pathophysiology of GvHD and identify novel targets for the manipulation of Tregs to optimize cellular immune intervention strategies.

Molecular plasticity of regulatory T cells in allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Keywords: cell type comparison Relative gene expressions were determined by normalized intensity values. GeneSpring analysis was performed using the Treg transcriptome data with following comparisons: no GvHD d90 versus no GvHD d150, no GvHD d90 versus acute GvHD, no GvHD d150 versus chronic GvHD, acute GvHD versus chronic GvHD, acute GvHD versus GvHD d90 and chronic GvHD versus GvHD d150 (Figure 2). Cut-off was a transcript fold change of 2 or -2 in at least one comparison. Student´s t-test was used to identify significant expression changes.

Expression Profile of alloreactive CD8 and CD4 induced regulatory T cells

Project description:Adoptive natural regulatory T cell (nTreg) therapy has improved the outcome for patients suffering from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). However, fear of broad immune suppression and subsequent dampening of beneficial graft-versus-leukemic (GVL) responses remains a challenge. To address this concern, we generated alloreactive induced Tregs (iTregs) from resting CD4 or CD8 T cells and tested their ability to suppress GVH and maintain GVL responses. We utilized major mismatched and haploidentical murine models of HCT with host-derived lymphoma or leukemia cell lines to evaluate GVH and GVL responses simultaneously. Alloreactive CD4 iTregs were effective in preventing GVHD, but abrogated the GVL effect against aggressive leukemia. Alloreactive CD8 iTregs moderately attenuated GVHD while sparing the GVL effect. Hence, we reasoned that using a combination of CD4 and CD8 iTregs could achieve the optimal goal of allo-HCT. Indeed, the combinational therapy was superior to CD4 or CD8 iTreg singular therapy in GVHD control; importantly, the combinational therapy maintained GVL responses. Cellular analysis uncovered potent suppression of both CD4 and CD8 effector T cells by the combinational therapy that resulted in effective prevention of GVHD, which could not be achieved by either singular therapy. Gene expression profiles revealed alloreactive CD8 iTregs possess elevated expression of multiple cytolytic molecules compared to CD4 iTregs, which likely contributes to GVL preservation. Our study uncovers unique differences between alloreactive CD4 and CD8 iTregs that can be harnessed to create an optimal iTreg therapy for GVHD prevention with maintained GVL responses.

Integrated Analysis of T-cell Repertoire and Transcriptome Shed Light into the Mechanisms of Regulatory T cell (Treg) Suppression of Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease

Project description:CD4+ FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are currently under clinical evaluation as an immunoregulatory cellular therapy for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prevention and treatment. Preclinical and clinical studies indicate that Treg are able to protect from GvHD without interfering with the graft-versus-tumor (GvT) effect of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), although the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. To elucidate Treg suppressive function during in vivo suppression of acute GvHD, we performed paired T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis on conventional T cells (Tcon) and Treg before and after transplantation in an MHC major-mismatch mouse model of HCT. We show that both Treg and Tcon underwent clonal expansion and that Treg did not interfere with the activation of alloreactive Tcon clones. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Treg predominantly affected CD4 Tcon and to a lesser extent CD8 Tcon transcriptome, modulating the transcription of genes encoding pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules as well as enzymes involved in metabolic processes, inducing a switch from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation. Finally, Treg did not interfere with the induction of gene sets involved in the GvT effect. Our results shed light into the mechanisms of acute GvHD suppression by Treg and will support the clinical translation of this immunoregulatory approach.

Azacitidine mitigates GvHD via its differential effects on expansion of nTregs in vivo.

Project description:Azacitidine (AzaC) mitigates Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) in both murine preclinical transplant models and in human clinical trials while maintaining a robust Graft vs. Leukemia (GVL) effect. Previous studies have failed to investigate the role of natural Tregs on the mitigation of GVHD by AzaC; instead focusing on the generation of suppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs, CD4+CD25+FOXP3+) through the in vivo conversion of alloreactive donor T effectors (Teff CD4+ CD25-, FOXP3-) and the direct anti-proliferative effects of AzaC on allogeneic T cells. Using B6.Foxp3DTR/GFP mice in which Tregs can be specifically ablated through administration of Diphtheria toxin, we demonstrate that nTregs are required in the donor graft for AzaC to optimally protect against GvHD and that nTregs, unlike T effectors (Teff, CD3+FOXP3-), are resistant to the anti-proliferative effects of AzaC. Gene expression analysis identified the potent cell cycle inhibitor, p21, was significantly upregulated in Teff but not nTregs after treatment with AzaC. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Teff cells deficient in p21 are less sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of AzaC. These results, demonstrate that nTregs are essential for AzaC to fully protect against GvHD and have important clinical implications for future clinical trials testing AzaC as a novel method of GVHD prophylaxis in man.

CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional regulatory T cells circulating in the human peripheral blood

Project description:The therapeutic use of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with autoimmune disorders has been hampered by the biological variability of memory Treg populations in the peripheral blood. In this study, we reveal through a combination of quantitative proteomic, multiparametric flow cytometry, RNA-seq data analysis and functional assays, that CD49f is heterogeneously expressed among human Tregs and impacts their immunomodulatory function. High expression of CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional Tregs in the human blood characterized by a Th17-like phenotype and impaired suppressive capacity. CD49f is similarly distributed between naïve and memory Tregs and impacts the expression of CD39, CTLA-4, FoxP3 and CCR6 specifically in the memory compartment. Accumulation of CD49f high memory Tregs in the blood of ulcerative colitis patients correlates with disease severity. Our results highlight important considerations for Treg immunotherapy design in patients with inflammatory bowel disease which could possibly extend to other autoimmune disorders.

Tc17 cells are a pro-inflammatory, plastic lineage of pathogenic CD8+ T-cells that induce GVHD without anti-leukemic effects

Project description:IL-17-producing cells are important mediators of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Here we demonstrate that a distinct CD8+ Tc17 population develops rapidly after SCT but fails to maintain lineage fidelity such that they are unrecognizable in the absence of a fate reporter. Tc17 differentiation is dependent on alloantigen presentation by host-DC together with IL-6. Tc17 cells express high levels of multiple prototypic lineage-defining transcription factors (e.g. RORgt, T-bet) and cytokines (e.g. IL-17A, IL-22, IFNg, GM-CSF, IL-13). Targeted depletion of Tc17 early after transplant protects from lethal acute GVHD, however Tc17 cells are non-cytolytic and fail to mediate graft–versus–leukemia (GVL) effects. Thus, the Tc17 differentiation program during GVHD culminates in a highly plastic, hyper-inflammatory, poorly-cytolytic effector population which we term inflammatory Tc17 (iTc17). Since iTc17 mediate GVHD without contributing to GVL, therapeutic inhibition of iTc17 development in a clinical setting represents an attractive approach for separating GVHD and GVL.

IL-2 therapy restores regulatory T cell dysfunction induced by calcineurin inhibitors

Project description:CNIs drastically modify the Treg specific transcriptional program in vivo in an IL-2 dependent manner CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) constitute a heterogeneous lymphocyte subpopulation essential for establishing peripheral immune tolerance. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays a critical role in maintaining immune homeostasis promoting optimal development, survival and function of Tregs. Because of their suppressive properties, manipulation of Tregs represents a clear target to modulate immune responses in transplantation and autoimmunity. However, the specific effects of adjunctive immunosuppressive drugs to the maintenance and function of the different Treg subsets remain unclear. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), which are the mainstay immunosuppressants in transplantation, are the most effective agents in controlling alloreactive effector T cells, but also hamper Treg activity. In this study we sought to investigate the differential effects of CNIs on the homeostasis of Treg subsets, and the extent to which these effects are dependent on the overall availability of IL-2.
