ICOS coreceptor signaling inactivates the transcription factor FOXO1 to promote Tfh cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are essential in the induction of high-affinity, class-switched antibodies. The differentiation of Tfh cells is a multi-step process that depends upon the co-receptor ICOS and the activation of phosphoinositide-3 kinase leading to the expression of key Tfh cell genes. We report that ICOS signaling inactivates the transcription factor FOXO1, and a Foxo1 genetic deletion allowed for generation of Tfh cells with reduced dependence on ICOS ligand. Conversely, enforced nuclear localization of FOXO1 inhibited Tfh cell development even though ICOS was overexpressed. FOXO1 regulated Tfh cell differentiation through a broad program of gene expression exemplified by its negative regulation of Bcl6. Final differentiation to germinal center Tfh cells (GC-Tfh) was instead FOXO1 dependent as the Foxo1(-/-) GC-Tfh cell population was substantially reduced. We propose that ICOS signaling transiently inactivates FOXO1 to initiate a Tfh cell contingency that is completed in a FOXO1-dependent manner.

ICOS-mediated inactivation of the FOXO1 transcription factor in the differentiation of T follicular helper cells

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cells constitute an essential cell type in the induction of antibodies. We report that CD4 T cells lacking Foxo1 almost uniformly became CXCR5int Tfh cells following immunization. Moreover, a Foxo1 loss-of-function complemented an Icos mutation allowing the appearance of Tfh cells along with follicular, class-switched B cells and IgG isotype anti-DNA antibodies. Similarly, FOXO1 deficient Tfh differentiation displayed a substantially reduced dependence on ICOSL. Functional and molecular analyses show that FOXO1 regulates Tfh differentiation through a broad program of gene expression exemplified by positive regulation of Icos and negative regulation of Bcl6. These results demonstrate that a key step in Tfh differentiation is the ICOS-initiated activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway resulting in the inactivation of FOXO1. Performed ChIP-seq analysis to examine the role of foxo1 in the development of Tfh cells

ICOS costimulation is indispensable for the differentiation of T follicular regulatory cells

Project description:ICOS is a T cell costimulatory receptor critical for Tfh cell generation and function. However, the role of ICOS in Tfr cell differentiation remains unclear. Using Foxp3-Cre-mediated ICOS knockout (ICOS FC) mice, we show that ICOS deficiency in Treg-lineage cells drastically reduces the number of Tfr cells during GC reactions but has a minimal impact on conventional Treg cells. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of Foxp3+ cells at an early stage of the GC reaction suggests that ICOS normally inhibits Klf2 expression to promote follicular features including Bcl6 upregulation. Further, ICOS costimulation promotes nuclear localization of NFAT2, a known driver of CXCR5 expression. Notably, ICOS FC mice had an unaltered overall GC B cell output but showed signs of expanded autoreactive B cells along with elevated autoantibody titers. Thus, our study demonstrates that ICOS costimulation is critical for Tfr cell differentiation and highlights the importance of Tfr cells in maintaining humoral immune tolerance during GC reactions.

Gene expression of T follicular helper (TFH) cells 6 h after ICOS-L blockade

Project description:The maintenance of the TFH phenotype depends on continuous signals via ICOS. For a global assessment of differences in gene expression after interruption of the ICOS pathway a genome wide transcriptome analysis was performed. We used the OT-II adoptive transfer system to isolate antigen-specific TFH cells (day 6 after immunization) after short-term (6 hours) blockade of the ICOS pathway using a monoclonal antibody against ICOS-L. Gene expression profiles of TFH cells with or without ICOS-L blockade. Affymetrix MG 430 2.0 whole genome arrays were performed in duplicates for the control and blockade group (4 arrays in total). To obtain genes significantly regulated upon ICOS L blockade, the expression profiles of TFH cells treated with an isotype control or anti-ICOS-L antibody were compared to each other. After total RNA extraction, reverse transcription, cDNA extraction, the biotinylated cRNA was transcribed, fragmented, and 15 M-BM-5g cRNA hybridized in duplicates for each of the two groups to the 4 GeneChip arrays: Group1 TFH cells control, Group2 TFH cells ICOS-L blockade.

Critical roles of mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinase signaling and glucose metabolism in follicular helper T cell differentiation

Project description:AbstractFollicular helper T (Tfh) cells are crucial for germinal center (GC) formation and humoral adaptive immunity. Mechanisms underlying Tfh cell differentiation in peripheral and mucosal lymphoid organs are incompletely understood. We report here that mTOR kinase complexes 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2) are essential for Tfh cell differentiation and GC reaction under steady state and after antigen immunization and viral infection. Loss of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in T cells exerted distinct effects on Tfh cell signature gene expression, whereas increased mTOR activity promoted Tfh responses. Deficiency of mTORC2 impaired CD4+ T cell accumulation and IgA production, and aberrantly induced Foxo1 transcription factor. Mechanistically, the costimulatory molecule ICOS activated mTORC1 and mTORC2 to drive glycolysis and lipogenesis, and Glut1-mediated glucose metabolism promoted Tfh cell responses. Altogether, mTOR acts as a central node in Tfh cells to link immune signals to glucose metabolism and transcriptional activity.

Gene expression profile of CD4+ T-cells restimulated by anti-CD3 and anti-ICOS compared to anti-CD3 alone

Project description:Engagement of the ICOS receptor represents a key event in a process that culminates in Bcl6 expression and acquisition of the TFH and TFR phenotype. To better understand the essentials of ICOS-mediated signaling pathway, we profiled the changes in gene expression elicited after co-ligation of ICOS and CD3 compared with CD3 ligation alone. Naïve CD4+ T-cells were purified from single cell suspensions of B6 spleen and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 for 2d followed by resting overnight before 20 min of incubation with anti-CD3 and/or anti-ICOS and cross-linking with goat anti-hamster Ab for 8h. RNA was prepared, amplified, labeled and hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix), in quadruplicates for anti-CD3 ligation and duplicates for anti-CD3/ anti-ICOS co-ligation.

Gene expression comparison between the murine T-cell hybridoma 6-13-64 ICOS(-) population and ICOS(+) population

Project description:ICOS (Inducible Costimulator) is a T cell costimulatory molecule. We found that the cloned T-cell hybridoma 6-13-64 consists of two populations, ICOS expressing and non-expressing. The aim of this study is to screen for candidate genes that regulate ICOS gene expression by transcriptional profiling and comparison of the ICOS-positive and ICOS-negative subpopulations isolated from the 6-13-64 T-cell hybridoma. One-condition experiment, ICOS(-) vs. ICOS(+) cells. Independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
