Dynamic Changes in E-protein Activity are Essential for Treg cell Development

ABSTRACT: To gain a molecular view of E-proteins with respect to the development of Foxp3+ T cells, we perform microarray studies that would identify transcription factors that are up-regulated as E-proteins levels fall and and Foxp3 expression rises. We hypothesize that such transcription factors activate the synthesis of key proteins necessary for the development of Foxp3+ cells in the thymus (or in the periphery). Among the possible proteins (negatively regulated by E-protein are those involved in IL-2 signaling, since the latter has been shown to be critical for the development of Foxp3+ cells in the thymus. In the planned studies we will extract mRNA from sorted Foxp3+GFP+ thymocytes from wild type (WT) mice and similar cells from E-protein deficient thymocytes. However, since Foxp3+ thymocytes in WT mice already have reduced E-protein levels, differences between thymocytes from these mice and E-protein deficient mice might be minimal. We therefore will also extract mRNA from Foxp3-negative thymocytes from WT mice whose E-proteins levels have not fallen sufficient low to allow Foxp3 expression and Foxp3-negative thymocytes from E-protein deficient mice whose E-proteins are necessarily low but have not expressed Foxp3 for unrelated reasons.

Project description:Treg dysfunction is associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases. Treg populations are defined by expression of the oligomeric transcription factor FOXP3 and inability to produce IL-2, a cytokine required for T cell maintenance and survival. FOXP3 activity is regulated post-translationally by histone/protein acetyltransferases and histone/protein deacetylases (HDACs). Here, we determined that HDAC3 mediates both the development and function of the two main Treg subsets, thymus-derived Tregs and induced Tregs (iTregs). We determined that HDAC3 and FOXP3 physically interact and that HDAC3 expression markedly reduces Il2 promoter activity. In murine models, conditional deletion of Hdac3 during thymic Treg development restored Treg production of IL-2 and blocked the suppressive function of Tregs. HDAC3-deficient mice died from autoimmunity by 4-6 weeks of age; however, injection of WT FOXP3+ Tregs prolonged survival. Adoptive transfer of Hdac3-deficient Tregs, unlike WT Tregs, did not control T cell proliferation in naive mice and did not prevent allograft rejection or colitis. HDAC3 also regulated the development of iTregs, as HDAC3-deficient conventional T cells were not converted into iTregs under polarizing conditions and produced large amounts of IL-2, IL-6, and IL-17. We conclude that HDAC3 is essential for the normal development and suppressive functions of thymic and peripheral FOXP3+ Tregs. RNA was isolated using RNeasy kits (QIAGEN), and RNA integrity and quantity were analyzed by NanoDrop ND-1000 and Nanochip 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). Microarray experiments were performed using whole mouse genome oligoarrays (Mouse430a, Affymetrix) and array data analyzed using MAYDAY 2.12 software. Array data were subjected to robust multiarray average (RMA) normalization and analyzed using Student’s t test. Only data with a false discovery rate-adjusted P value of less than 0.05 and at least 2× differential expression were included in the analysis. Data underwent z-score transformation for display.

Project description:CD5 is characterized as an inhibitory co-receptor with important regulatory role during T cell development. To study the molecular mechanism by which CD5 operates, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze the components of the CD5 signaling machinery in primary T cells. In a first set of experiments, CD5-containing complexes were immunoprecipitated from thymocytes of wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice. Thymocytes were treated with pervanadate to induce widespread activation of protein tyrosine kinases. Corresponding samples prepared from thymocytes of Cd5−/− mice were used as controls, to discriminate CD5-binding molecules from the background of contaminant proteins. Eight biological replicates were prepared for both conditions, and samples were analyzed in duplicate LC-MS runs. This first set of experiment is presented in TableS1 of the paper, and is associated to the MaxQuant result file “Interactome WT” in the present PX dataset. We analyzed the CD5 interactome at different time of stimulation with pervanadate (1min and 10min) using thymocytes from wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice. Corresponding samples prepared from thymocytes of Cd5−/− mice were used as controls. Three biological replicates were prepared for both conditions (WT and KO) and each time point (1min and 10min). This set of experiments is presented in TableS2 of the paper and is associated to the MaxQuant result file “Interactome at 1min and 10min” in the present PX dataset. We checked that the activation of CD5 (phosphorylation sites) and the formation of the signaling complex was comparable in different stimulatory conditions (comparison of WT thymocytes stimulated with either pervanadate or anti-CD3+anti-CD4 antibodies). We also analyzed the binding of CD5 interactors in thymocytes from a c-Cbl-/- mouse model (comparison of WT and c-Cbl-/-thymocytes stimulated with pervanadate). These experiments and the associated experimental design of the comparisons are summarized in TableS3 of the paper, and are based on the MaxQuant result file “Comparison of different stimulatory conditions” in this dataset. To check the phosphorylation status of the CD5 tyrosine residues at different time of stimulation, we analyzed samples immunoprecipitated from thymocytes of wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice, following stimulation with anti-CD3+anti-CD4 antibodies for 1min, 3min and 10min. This set of experiment is presented in TableS4 of the paper and is associated to the MaxQuant result file “CD5 pY kinetics” in the present PX dataset. To determine the role of Y429 in the context of CD5 signaling, we expressed a wild-type (CD5tgWt) or a mutated form of CD5, containing a tyrosine to phenylalanine substitution at position 429 (CD5tgY429F) in transgenic mice. We analyzed the CD5 interactome by comparing samples immunoprecipitated from thymocytes of these 2 mice models (following pervanadate stimulation, 6 and 5 biological replicates respectively) with samples prepared in the same way from Cd5−/− mice as controls (6 biological replicates). The results are shown in TableS5 of the paper, and correspond to the MaxQuant result file “interactome CD5tgWt_CD5tgY429F”.
