Project description:Neddylation is necessary for activation of Cullin-RING Ligases (CRLs) which degrade various immune regulatory proteins. Our recent study showed that while depletion of neddylation E2-E3 pair Ube2f-Sag in regulatory T cells (Treg cells) had no obvious phenotype, the same depletion of either Ube2m or Rbx1 caused inflammation disorders with different severity. Whether these E2s or E3s compensate each other in functional regulations of Treg cells is, however, previously unknown. In this report, we generated Foxp3Cre;Ube2mfl/fl;Ube2ffl/fl or Foxp3Cre;Rbx1fl/fl;Sagfl/fl double null mice by simultaneously deletion of both neddylation E2s or E3s in Treg cells, respectively. Remarkably, Ube2m&Ube2f double null mice developed much severe autoimmune phenotypes than Ube2m-null mice, indicating Ube2m significantly compensates Ube2f in Treg cells. The minor worsen autoimmune phenotypes seen at very early stage in Rbx1&Sag double null than Rbx1-null mice, is likely due to already severe phenotypes of the later, indicating a minor compensation of Rbx1 for Sag. The RNA profiling-based analyses revealed that up- and down-regulations of few signaling pathways in Treg cells are associated with the severity of autoimmune phenotypes. Finally, severer inflammation phenotypes seen in mice with double E3-null than with double E2-null Treg cells indicate a neddylation-independent mechanism of two E3s, also known to serve as the RING component of CRLs in regulation of Treg cell fitness.

Project description:ObjectivesGenetic or acquired defects in FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in many immune-mediated diseases including immune dysregulation polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome. Previously, we demonstrated CD4+ T cells from healthy donors and IPEX patients can be converted into functional Treg-like cells by lentiviral transfer of FOXP3 (CD4LVFOXP3). These CD4LVFOXP3 cells have potent regulatory function, suggesting their potential as an innovative therapeutic. Here, we present molecular and preclinical in vivo data supporting CD4LVFOXP3 cell clinical progression.MethodsThe molecular characterisation of CD4LVFOXP3 cells included flow cytometry, qPCR, RNA-seq and TCR-seq. The in vivo suppressive function of CD4LVFOXP3 cells was assessed in xenograft-versus-host disease (xeno-GvHD) and FOXP3-deficient IPEX-like humanised mouse models. The safety of CD4LVFOXP3 cells was evaluated using peripheral blood (PB) humanised (hu)- mice testing their impact on immune response against pathogens, and immune surveillance against tumor antigens.ResultsWe demonstrate that the conversion of CD4+ T cells to CD4LVFOXP3 cells leads to specific transcriptional changes as compared to CD4+ T-cell transduction in the absence of FOXP3, including upregulation of Treg-related genes. Furthermore, we observe specific preservation of a polyclonal TCR repertoire during in vitro cell production. Both allogeneic and autologous CD4LVFOXP3 cells protect from xeno-GvHD after two sequential infusions of effector T cells. CD4LVFOXP3 cells prevent hyper-proliferation of CD4+ memory T cells in the FOXP3-deficient IPEX-like hu-mice. CD4LVFOXP3 cells do not impede in vivo expansion of antigen-primed T cells or tumor clearance in the PB hu-mice.ConclusionThese data support the clinical readiness of CD4LVFOXP3 cells to treat IPEX syndrome and other immune-mediated diseases caused by insufficient or dysfunctional FOXP3+ Tregs.

Project description:Comparaison of the transcriptomes of WT and Foxp3-deficient regulatory T cells from the spleen of females that carried one mutant Foxp3∆EGFPiCre allele and a second competent Foxp3 allele (Foxp3RFP) that also directed the expression of the red fluorescent protein (RFP) . We then extended these studies to elucidate transcriptional pathways altered upon Rictor deletion in ∆Treg cells that may contribute to their improved regulatory function by analyzing the transcriptome of ∆Treg cells isolated from Foxp3∆EGFPiCre/+Rictor∆/∆ females.

Project description:CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells play a pivotal role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis, where the X-linked master transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) determines Treg cell development and function. Genetic deficiency of foxp3 induces dysfunction of Treg cells and immuno-dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, and X-linked syndrome in humans. Functionally deficient Treg cells or the development of exTreg cells positively correlate with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In general, females are more susceptible to SLE and MS but less susceptible to AS, where the expression of FOXP3 and its protein complex are perturbed by multiple factors, including hormonal fluctuations, inflammatory cytokines, and danger signals. Therefore, it is critical to explore the potential molecular mechanisms involved and these differences linked to gender. Here, we review recent findings on the regulation of FOXP3 activity in Treg cells and also discuss gender difference in the determination of Treg cell function in autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Costimulatory signals by CD28 are critical for thymic regulatory T-cell (Treg) development. To determine the functional relevance of CD28 for peripheral Treg post thymic selection, we crossed the widely used Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3)-CreYFP mice to mice bearing a conditional Cd28 allele. Treg-specific CD28 deficiency provoked a severe autoimmune syndrome as a result of a strong disadvantage in competitive fitness and proliferation of CD28-deficient Tregs. By contrast, Treg survival and lineage integrity were not affected by the lack of CD28. This data demonstrate that, even after the initial induction requirement, Treg maintain a higher dependency on CD28 signalling than conventional T cells for homeostasis. In addition, we found the Foxp3-CreYFP allele to be a hypomorph, with reduced Foxp3 protein levels. Furthermore, we report here the stochastic activity of the Foxp3-CreYFP allele in non-Tregs, sufficient to recombine some conditional alleles (including Cd28) but not others (including R26-RFP). This hypomorphism and 'leaky' expression of the Foxp3-CreYFP allele should be considered when analysing the conditionally mutated Treg.

Project description:Cullin-RING Ligases (CRLs), upon activation by neddylation, play the key roles in regulating many biological processes. However, how CRL-neddylation regulates the function of Treg cells remains elusive. Here we show that mice with Treg-specific deletion of Rbx1, a RING component of CRLs required for its activity, developed an early-onset fetal inflammatory disorders and death at day ~25 after birth with disrupted homeostasis and impaired suppressive functions of Treg cells. Specifically, Rbx1 is essential for maintenance of the effector subpopulations in Treg cells, and regulates several inflammatory pathways. Similar phenotypes were seen in mice with deletion of Ube2m, a neddylation E2, in Treg cells, but with much lesser severity. Interestingly, Treg-specific deletion of Rbx2/Sag or Ube2f, the family member of Rbx1 or Ube2m, respectively, had no obvious phenotype. Thus, the Ube2m-Rbx1 axis is required for the maintenance of homeostasis and functions of Treg cells; and Rbx1 has Ube2m-independent roles in the fitness of Treg cells, suggesting a layer of complexity in neddylation activation of CRLs. We use the tranpritome dara to show the mechanism of the function of Rbx1 and Ube2m in Treg cells, also research the relationship of Rbx1 and Ube2m in Treg cells.
