Antigen specific human conventional T cells (CD154+) or regulatory T cells (CD137+) directed agains A. fumigatus or Birch pollen lysate isolated from Birch pollen allergic patients or healthy controls.

ABSTRACT: Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) play a central role for tolerance against self and innocuous environmental antigens. However, the role of antigen-specificity for Treg-mediated tolerance is only incompletely understood. Here we show by direct ex vivo characterization of human CD4+ T cells, that the response against innocuous airborne antigens, such as plant pollen or fungal spores, is dominated by memory-like antigen-specific Treg. Surprisingly, breakdown of tolerance in atopic donors was not accompanied by a quantitatively or qualitatively altered Treg response, but instead correlated with a striking dichotomy of Treg versus Th2 target specificity. Allergenic proteins, are selectively targeted by Th2 cells, but not Treg. Thus human Treg specific for airborne antigens maintain tolerance at mucosal sites and the failure to generate specific Treg against a subgroup of antigens provides a window of opportunity for allergy development.

PBMCs from sex and age matched birch pollen allergic patients and healthy controls, were stimulated (7h) with airborne fungal (A. fumigatus) or birch pollen antigen (birch) and sorted into antigen specific conventional and regulatory T cells according to their expression of CD154+ and CD137+ on CD4+ T cells, respectively. Number of samples per group in parentheses: Healthy controls stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=5), allergic patients stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=6), healthy controls stimulated with birch (n=6), allergic patients stimulated with birch (n=4).

T cell oxygen-sensing proteins establish an immunologically tolerant metastatic niche

Project description:Cancer cells must evade immune responses at distant sites to establish metastases. The lung is a frequent site for metastasis. We hypothesized that lung-specific immunoregulatory mechanisms create an immunologically permissive environment for tumor colonization. We found that T cell-intrinsic expression of the oxygen-sensing prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD) proteins is required to maintain local tolerance against innocuous antigens in the lung, but powerfully licenses colonization by circulating tumor cells. PHD proteins limit pulmonary type helper (Th)-1 responses, promote CD4+-regulatory T (Treg) cell induction, and restrain CD8+ T cell effector function. Tumor colonization is accompanied by PHD protein-dependent induction of pulmonary Treg cells and suppression of IFN-g-dependent tumor clearance. T cell-intrinsic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PHD proteins limits tumor colonization of the lung and improves the efficacy of adoptive cell transfer immunotherapy. Collectively, PHD proteins function in T cells to coordinate distinct immunoregulatory programs within the lung that are permissive to cancer metastasis.

Comparison of RelB-/- and RelB+/- thymi

Project description:Thymic medullary epithelial cell (mTEC) expression of the autoimmune regulator AIRE, and of tissue-specific antigens, is controlled by members of the non-canonical NF-kB signalling pathway, including RelB and NF-kB2. Of the genes in this pathway, RelB-/- mice develop a particularly severe multi-organ autoimmune syndrome, resembling Foxp3-deficiency. RelB-/- mice have medullary atrophy and few mTECs but the mechanism is unknown. We show that RelB is required for expression of medullary chemokines and mTEC AIRE, selection of a diverse peripheral T cell repertoire, and for peripheral Foxp3+ Treg function. VÎ² families of T cells infiltrating diseased peripheral organs and thymic Treg were similarly skewed. Surprisingly, medullary atrophy results from intra-thymic granulocyte infiltration, consequent upon the Th2-mediated autoimmune disease. Dominant tolerance corrects thymic inflammatory disease and loss of thymic function. We demonstrate a reversible RelB-dependent inflammatory mechanism for loss of central tolerance associated with medullary atrophy. Thymi from 4 RelB+/- mice and 3 RelB-/- mice were profiled by microarays

A novel lineage of RORγt+ antigen presenting cells instructs microbiota-dependent regulatory T cell differentiation and tolerance during early life [multiome scATAC-seq]

Project description:Tolerance to self- or innocuous foreign antigens is vital for preservation of organismal health. Within the thymus, medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) expressing AutoImmune Regulator, Aire, play a critical role in self-tolerance through deletion of autoreactive T cells and promotion of thymic regulatory T (Treg) cell development. A second wave of Treg cell differentiation occurs in the periphery, upon exposure to dietary and commensal microbiota derived antigens within the first few weeks of life, yet the cell types responsible for the generation of peripheral Treg (pTreg) cells are not known. Here we identified a new lineage of tolerogenic RORγt+ antigen-presenting cells (APC) with a hybrid dendritic cell (DC)-mTEC phenotype, dubbed Thetis cells (TCs), comprising 4 major sub-groups (TC I-IV), We uncovered a developmental wave of TCs within intestinal lymph nodes during a critical early life window, coincident with the wave of pTreg cell differentiation. While Aire+ TC I and III bore remarkable homology with Aire+ mTECs, including expression of tissue restricted self-antigens, TC IV lacked Aire expression and were enriched for molecules required for pTreg generation, including the TGF-β activating integrin αvβ8. Loss of either MHCII or Itgb8 expression by TCs led to a profound impairment in intestinal pTreg differentiation, with onset of intestinal inflammation. In contrast, MHCII expression by RORγt+ group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and classical DCs was neither sufficient nor required for pTreg generation, further implicating TCs as the critical tolerogenic RORγt+ APC. Our studies reveal parallel pathways for establishment of tolerance to self and foreign antigen within the thymus and periphery, marked by involvement of shared cellular and transcriptional programs.

A Foxp3 mutation drives Th2 effector function in regulatory T cells

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells maintain immune tolerance through the action of the master regulator FOXP3, a transcription factor crucial for Treg cells function and homeostasis. We identified an IPEX patient with a FOXP3 mutation in the domain swap interface of the protein (mutant M370I). Recapitulation of this Foxp3 variant in mice led to an autoimmune syndrome similar to the patient and consistent with an unrestrained Th2 immune response. Genomic analysis of Treg cells by RNA-seq, Foxp3 ChIP-seq and H3K27ac-HiChIP revealed a specific de-repression of the T helper type 2 (Th2) transcriptional program leading to the generation of Th2-like Treg cells that are unable to suppress extrinsic Th2 cells. Th2-like Treg cells are characterized by increased intra-chromosomal interactions in the Th2 locus leading to type-2 cytokines production. Our research provides cellular and molecular characterizations of mechanisms used by Foxp3 to restrain Th2 transdifferentiation and promote optimal Treg suppressive function and stability.
