Contribution of Foxp3 to the Treg signature

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor Foxp3 is usually considered the master regulator for the CD4+CD25+ "Treg" lineage, which plays a key role in controlling immune and autoimmune responses, and is characterized by a unique transcriptional signature. We have performed a meta-analysis of this signature in Treg cells in several conditions to delineate the elements that can be ascribed to T cell activation, TGFbeta signaling, or Foxp3 itself. We find that these influences synergize to activate many of the signature’s components. Foxp3 and TGFbeta signaling have interconnected relationships, as Foxp3 is induced by TGFbeta while enhancing TGFbeta’s positive feedback loop. Much of the Treg signature cannot be ascribed to Foxp3, as it contains gene clusters that are co-regulated, but cannot be transactivated, by Foxp3. This suggests that the Treg lineage is specified at a higher level of regulation, upstream of Foxp3, which does control some of the lineage’s essential immunoregulatory attributes.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Specialized Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity - 5 populations ex vivo

Project description:Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) are functionally distinct from conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). To understand Treg identity, we compared by proteomics and transcriptomics human naïve (n) and effector (e)Tregs, Tconvs and transitional FOXP3+ cells. Only 12% of 422 differentially expressed proteins was identified as such at the mRNA level, demonstrating the importance of direct proteome measurement. Fifty-one proteins discriminated Tregs from Tconvs. This common Treg protein signature indicates altered signaling by TCR-, TNF receptor-, NFB-, PI3 kinase/mTOR-, NFAT- and STAT pathways, and unique cell biological and metabolic features. Another protein signature uniquely identified eTregs and revealed active cell division, apoptosis sensitivity and suppression of NFB- and STAT signaling. eTreg fate appears consolidated by FOXP3 outnumbering its partner transcription factors. These features explain why eTregs cannot produce inflammatory cytokines, whereas transitional FOXP3+ cells can. Collectively, our data reveal that Treg identity is defined and protected by uniquely “wired” signaling pathways.

Transcriptional profiling of FOXP3+ Treg cells and corresponding FOXP3-losing cells

Project description:Natural CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells constitute a unique T-cell lineage that plays a pivotal role in maintaining immune homeostasis and immune tolerance. Recent studies provide evidence for the heterogeneity and plasticity of the Treg cell lineage. However, the fate of human Treg cells after loss of FOXP3 expression and the underlying epigenetic mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we compared gene expression profiles and histone methylation status on two histone H3 lysine residues (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) of expanded FOXP3+ and corresponding FOXP3-losing Treg cells. DGE assay showed that human Treg cells down-regulated Treg signature genes, whereas up-regulated a set of Th lineages-associated genes, especially for Th2, such as GATA3, GFI1 and IL13, after in vitro expansion. Furthermore, we found that reprogramming of Treg cells was associated with histone modifications, as shown by decreased abundance of permissive H3K4me3 within down-regulated Treg signature genes, such as FOXP3, CTLA4 and LRRC32 loci, although with no significant changes in H3K27me3 modification. Thus, our results indicate that human Treg cells could convert into a Th-like cells upon in vitro expansion, displaying a gene expression signature dominated by Th2 lineage associated genes, and the histone methylation might contribute to such conversion. mRNA profiles of in-vitro-expanded FOXP3+ Treg and FOXP3-losing Treg cells generated by deep sequencing.

Ndfip1 restricts mTORC1 signalling and glycolysis in regulatory T cells to prevent autoinflammatory disease

Project description:Project abstract: Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells have important functions in suppressing immune cell activation and establishing normal immune homeostasis. How Treg cells maintain their identity is not completely understood. Here we show that Ndfip1, a co-activator of Nedd4-family E3 ubiquitin ligases, is required for Treg cell stability and function. Ndfip1 deletion in Treg cells disrupts immune homeostasis and results in autoinflammatory disease. Ndfip1-deficient Treg cells are highly proliferative and are more likely to lose Foxp3 expression to become IL-4-producing TH2 effector cells. Proteomic analyses indicate that Ndfip1 deficiency alters the metabolic signature of Treg cells. Metabolic profiling reveals elevated glycolysis and increased mTORC1 signalling. Additional data suggest that Ndfip1 restricts Treg cell metabolic capacity and IL-4 production via distinct mechanisms. Thus, Ndfip1 preserves Treg lineage stability by preventing the expansion of highly proliferative and metabolically active cells that can cause immunopathology via secretion of IL-4.

Continuous requirement for the T cell receptor for regulatory T cell function

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells) maintain immunological tolerance and their deficiency results in fatal multi-organ autoimmunity. Although heightened T cell receptor (TCR) signaling is critical for the differentiation of Treg cells, the role of TCR signaling in Treg cell function remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate inducible ablation of the TCR results in Treg cell dysfunction which cannot be attributed to impaired Foxp3 expression, decreased expression of Treg cell signature genes or altered ability to sense and consume interleukin 2. Rather, TCR signaling was required for maintaining the expression of a limited subset of genes comprising 25% of the activated Treg cell transcriptional signature. Our results reveal a critical role for the TCR in Treg cell suppressor capacity. Array expression of Foxp3-CreERT2 CalphaFL/WT mice

Identify proteins at Foxp3 bound cis-regulatory elements in situ

Project description:We hypothesize that nuclear factors co-occupying the genetic elements with regulatory T (Treg) cell lineage–specifying factor Foxp3 play critical roles in transcriptional regulation of Treg immune suppression function, thus, offering a unique approach to investigate the factors and their mechanisms controlling Treg-mediated immune tolerance involved in self-tolerance and antitumor immunity. We seek to identify the proteins occupying Foxp3 targets in the resting state or after cells receiving stimulation. To this end, we projected the spatial information (PSI) of Foxp3, Histone H3, or Stat5 onto their adjacent proteins with peroxidase–catalyzed biotin-phenoxyl radicals and identify these biotinylated proteins with tandem mass tag (TMT)–based quantitative mass spectrometry (MS).
