Project description:To understand the whole genome transcriptome of in vivo Treg cells and ex vivo TGF-beta induced Treg cells from WT and Aim2 knockout mice, the total RNA was extracted from indicated Treg cells using the Direct-zol miniprep kit (Zymo Research, R2060). The RNA samples were firstly enriched by Oligo(dT) magnetic beads and used to construct BGISEQ-500 libraries. RNA-seq libraries sequenced using the 50bp single-end protocol (in vivo isolated Treg cells) or 100bp paired-end protocol (TGF-β induced Treg cells) via the BGISEQ-500 sequencer per the manufacturer’s protocol. After filtering of adaptors and low quality reads, clean reads (>26 Million reads per sample for in vivo isolated Treg cells and >40 Million reads per sample for TGF-β induced Treg cells) are mapped to mouse reference genome using HISAT /Bowtie2 tool. Mapping results are stored in BAM files using SAMtools. Total read counts in gene level were summarized using featureCounts function in the Rsubread in R environment, with the R package biomaRt for gene and transcripts mapping. The differential expression (DE) genes were analyzed by DESeq2 package with default setting using total read counts as input, and the adjusted p value (padj) less than 0.05.

Project description:The inflammasome initiates innate defense and inflammatory response by activating caspase-1 and pyroptotic cell death in myeloid cells1,2. It is comprised of an innate immune receptor/effector, pro-caspase-1 and a common adaptor molecule, ASC (apoptotic speck-containing protein with a CARD). Consistent with their pro-inflammatory function, inflammasome components including caspase-1, ASC and NLRP3, are known to exacerbate autoimmunity during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by enhancing IL-1 and IL-18 secretion in myeloid cells3-6. Here we show an unexpected function of a DNA-binding inflammasome effector, AIM2 (Absent in Melanoma 2)7-10, in restraining autoimmunity by performing EAE in both whole body and Treg-specific deletion of Aim2–/– mice. AIM2 is highly expressed by human and mouse Treg cells and it is essential to attenuate EAE. RNA-seq, biochemical and metabolic analyses revealed that AIM2 attenuates mTOR, Myc and immune-metabolic functions in both Treg cells isolated in vivo and Treg cells induced in vitro with TGF-. Importantly, we found AIM2 physically interacted with RACK1 in Treg cells to facility the PP2A/RACK1/Akt-mTOR signaling, which is identified as a central component downstream of AIM2 that controls Treg cell function and stability. While AIM2 is generally accepted as an inflammasome effector in myeloid cells, this report reveals a previously unappreciated T cell-intrinsic role of AIM2 in maintaining Treg cell function to restrain autoimmunity. This is achieved by diminishing Akt-mTOR signaling to regulate Treg stability under inflammation, and altering immune-metabolism in Treg cells.

Project description:Purpose: identify differentially expressed genes between ex-Treg obtained 5, 10 or 15 days post-adoptive transfer into a lymphopenic environment compared to ex vivo Treg in order to identify Treg subset with heightened instability. Method: Treg from Foxp3YFP-Cre Rosa26RFP (PMID: 18387831, PMID: 17171761) were co-injected with congenically-disparated naive T cells in a 1:1 ratio into Rag1KO mice and ex-Treg were sorted at 15 days, 10 days or 5 days post-transfer. As a control, ex vivo Treg were sorted from Foxp3YFP-Cre Rosa26RFP (d0 sample). Next, samples were stained with multiplexing antibodies using the BD Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit (BD biosciences), then pooled and stained with the following oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies: anti‑CD25 (PC61), anti-CD44 (IM7), anti-CD62L (MEL-14), anti-GITR (DTA-1), anti-CD4 (RM4-5), anti‑TCRb (H57-597), anti‑CD69 (H1.2F3), anti‑TIGIT (1G9), anti‑CD95 (Jo2), anti‑CD122 (TM‑1β), anti‑Tim-3 (5D12), anti‑CCR7 (4B12), anti‑CD103 (M290), anti‑CD279 (J43), anti‑CD274 (MIH5), anti‑CD233 (C9B7W), anti‑CD71 (C2), anti‑CD278 (7E7G9), anti‑ITGB7 (M293), anti‑CD137 (1AH2), anti‑CD40 (3/23), anti‑CD3e (145-2C) from BD Biosciences. Single-cell capture and cDNA library preparation was performed using the BD Rhapsody Single-cell analysis system (BD Biosciences), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using a custom gene panel (591 genes). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument using a Mid‑Output kit v2.5 (150 cycles, paired-end). Sample demultiplexing, barcode processing, alignment, filtering, UMI counting were done using the standard BD Biosciences Rhapsody analysis pipeline on Seven Bridges (www.sevenbridges.com). Result: In this study, we showed that ex-Treg downregulate Treg core-specific genes immediatly upon adoptive transfer into a lymphopenic environment. Further, we identified a Treg population enriched for unstable Trg clones. Conclusion: Our study was able to identify a Treg subset enriched for unstable Treg with plastic potential. This Treg subset appears highly enriched for naïve peripheral-induced Treg.

Project description:Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is a cytosolic dsDNA sensor that has been broadly studied for its role in inflammasome assembly. However, little is known about the function of AIM2 in adaptive immune cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether AIM2 has a cell-intrinsic role in CD4+ T cell differentiation or function. We found that AIM2 is expressed in both human and mouse CD4+ T cells and that its expression is affected by T cell receptor (TCR) activation. Naïve CD4+ T cells from AIM2-deficient (Aim2-/-) mice showed higher ability to maintain forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) expression in vitro, while their capacity to differentiate into T helper (Th)1, Th2 or Th17 cells remained unaltered. Transcriptional profiling by RNA sequencing showed that AIM2 might affect regulatory T cell (Treg) stability not by controlling the expression of Treg signature genes, but through the regulation of the cell's metabolism. In addition, in a T cell transfer model of colitis, Aim2-/--naïve T cells induced less severe body weight loss and displayed a higher ability to differentiate into FOXP3+ cells in vivo. In conclusion, we show that AIM2 function is not confined to innate immune cells but is also important in CD4+ T cells. Our data identify AIM2 as a regulator of FOXP3+ Treg cell differentiation and as a potential intervention target for restoring T cell homeostasis.

Project description:Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is a cytosolic dsDNA sensor that has been broadly studied for its role in inflammasome assembly and innate immune defense against intracellular pathogens. However, very little is known about the function of AIM2 in adaptive immune cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether AIM2 has a cell-intrinsic role in CD4+ T cell differentiation or function. We found that AIM2 is expressed in both human and mouse CD4+ T cells and that its expression is affected by T cell receptor (TCR) activation. AIM2-deficient (Aim2-/-) mouse CD4+ T cells upregulate the expression of regulatory T cell (Treg)-associated genes, both in unstimulated conditions and after TCR activation. Naïve CD4+ T cells from Aim2-/- mice also show a higher tendency to differentiate into FOXP3+ cells in vitro, while their capacity to differentiate into Th1 or Th17 cells remains unaltered. In agreement with these data, in a T cell transfer model of colitis, Aim2-/- naïve T cells induce ameliorated disease and also display a higher ability to differentiate into FOXP3+ cells. Our results suggest that AIM2 negatively regulates FOXP3 expression and Treg cell differentiation. We show that AIM2 function is not confined to innate immune cells but is also important in adaptive CD4+ T cells. Our data identify AIM2 as a regulator of Treg cell differentiation and therefore as a potential intervention target for restoring T cell homeostasis.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells that express the FoxP3 transcription factor are essential for lymphoid homeostasis and immune tolerance to self. Other non-immunological functions of Treg cells, such as controlling metabolic function in adipose tissue, are also emerging. Treg cells originate primarily in the thymus, but can also be elicited from conventional T cells by in vivo exposure to low-dose antigen or homeostatic expansion, or by activation in the presence of TGFβ in vitro. Treg cells are characterized by a distinct transcriptional signature controlled in part, but not solely, by FoxP3. For a better perspective on transcriptional control in Treg cells, we compared gene expression profiles of a broad panel of Treg cells from various origins or anatomical locations. Treg cells generated by different means form different sub-phenotypes identifiable by particular combinations of transcripts, none of which fully encompass the entire Treg signature. Molecules involved in Treg effector function, chemokine receptors, and the transcription factors that control them are differentially represented in these subphenotypes. Treg cells from the gut proved dissimilar to cells elicited by exposure to TGFβ, but instead they resembled a CD103+Klrg1+ subphenotype preferentially generated in response to lymphopenia. All gene expression profiles were obtained from highly purified T cell populations sorted by flow cytometry. To reduce variability, cells from multiple mice were pooled for sorting, and replicates or triplicates were generated for all groups. RNA from 1-5 x 104 cells was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix M430v2 microarrays. Raw data were preprocessed with the RMA algorithm in GenePattern, and averaged expression values were used for analysis.

Project description:The CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cell lineage comprises thymus-derived (t)Treg cells and peripherally induced (p)Treg cells. As a model for Treg cells, studies employ TGF-β-induced (i)Treg cells generated from CD4+ conventional T (Tconv) cells in vitro. Here, we describe the relationship of iTreg cells to tTreg and Tconv cells. Proteomic analysis revealed that iTreg, tTreg and Tconv cell populations each have a unique protein expression pattern. iTreg cells had very limited overlap in protein expression with tTreg cells, regardless of cell activation status and instead shared signaling and metabolic proteins with Tconv cells. tTreg cells had a uniquely modest response to CD3/CD28-mediated stimulation. As a benchmark, we used a previously defined proteomic signature that sets ex vivo naïve and effector phenotype Treg cells apart from Tconv cells and includes unique Treg cell properties (Cuadrado et al., Immunity, 2018). This Treg cell core signature was largely absent in iTreg cells. We also used a proteomic signature that distinguishes ex vivo effector Treg cells from Tconv cells and naïve Treg cells. This effector Treg cell signature was partially present in iTreg cells. In conclusion, iTreg cells are distinct from tTreg cells and share limited features with ex vivo Treg cells at the proteomic level.
