Project description:Background: Recently, Tregs expressing the Th17 characteristic transcription factor RORγt were identified (biTregs). Both, pro- and anti-inflammatory functions have been described and the sum effect of biTreg deficiency in inflammation remains unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear, whether biTregs are specialized for the control of a defined type of immune response, as in particular Th2 or Th17 immunity. Methods: FACsorted CD4+ T-cells from fluorescence reporter mice, containing or lacking biTregs, were transferred into RAG1-/- recipients and the nephrotoxic nephritis model of glomerulonephritis was studied. Interactions of biTregs with various leukocyte populations were assessed by multicolor immunofluorescence. Furthermore, biTregs were compared to other Treg subtypes including suppression assays and RNAseq analyses. Finally, the role of the CCR6/CCL20 axis for biTreg biology was characterized. Results: Lack of endogenous biTregs resulted in aggravation of glomerulonephritis, demonstrating net immunosuppressive functions. However, contrary to our hypothesis, biTreg deficiency did not result in selectively overshooting Th2 or Th17 responses. Comprehensive analysis instead revealed a unique functional and transcriptional biTreg profile, including high production of IL-10 and dependency on IL-6R, cMAF and IKZF3 activation. Interestingly, we found that expression of the chemokine receptor CCR6 marked a particularly activated biTreg subset, whose absence significantly worsened glomerulonephritis. Unexpectedly, we found that signaling via the CCR6/CCL20 axis mediates biTreg expansion, rather than trafficking. Our data indicate net immunosuppressive effects of endogenous biTregs, with no preference for regulation of Th2 or Th17 responses. Surprisingly, signaling via the Conclusion: CCR6/CCL20 axis was integral for biTreg expansion and activation, which offers novel therapeutic options.

Project description:The experiment was designed to compare transcriptomic differences between WT and Ccr6 KO Tregs during activation. WT and Ccr6 KO Tregs, cells were isolated from mice and cultured in vitro for 3 days with activation using anti-CD3/CD28 beads. Total RNA was extracted using the Trizol method. Quantity and quality were assessed using a Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ 2000/2000c Spectrophotometer. Novogene Corporation Inc prepared the RNA-seq 250-300 bp insert cDNA library. Illumina HiSeq platform PE150 sequencing was used for sequencing, yielding 20M raw reads/sample. Mus Musculus mm39 was used as the reference genome for alignment.

Project description:Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and producing IL-17 represent a minor subset of CD1d-restricted iNKT cells (iNKT17) in C57BL/6J (B6) mice. We aimed in this study to define the reasons for their low distribution and the sequence of events accompanying their normal thymic development. We found that RORγt+ iNKT cells have higher proliferation potential and a greater propensity to apoptosis than RORγt- iNKT cells. These cells do not likely reside in the thymus indicating that thymus emigration, and higher apoptosis potential, could contribute to RORγt+ iNKT cell reduced thymic distribution. Ontogeny studies suggest that mature HSAlow RORγt+ iNKT cells might develop through developmental stages defined by a differential expression of CCR6 and CD138 during which RORγt expression and IL-17 production capabilities are progressively acquired. Finally, we found that RORγt+ iNKT cells perceive a strong TCR signal that could contribute to their entry into a specific Th17 like developmental program influencing their survival and migration. Overall, our study proposes a hypothetical thymic developmental sequence for iNKT17 cells, which could be of great use to study molecular mechanisms regulating this developmental program.

Project description:Foxp3-expressing regulatory (Treg) T cells are essential for immunological tolerance, where loss of this transcription factor leads to uncontrolled T cell responses and their associated clinical presentation of systemic autoimmunity in mice and humans. Importantly, Foxp3+ Tregs result from different origins and are either generated in the thymus (tTreg) or from conventional CD4+ T cells in the periphery (pTreg). In addition, Treg cells may adopt specific effector Treg phenotypes, reflecting the diversity of functional demands in the different tissues of the body. Here, we report that Foxp3+ T cells expressing the Th17 master transcription factor, RORγt, represent a stable effector Treg lineage that is specifically enriched in intestinal organs and gut-associated lymphoid tissues in mice possessing a complex microbial microflora. Simultaneous expression of Foxp3 and RORγt promotes the transcription of both Treg- and Th17-associated genes in Foxp3+RORγt+ T cells; however, epigenetic profiling of the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) and other Treg-associated genes revealed a high degree of similarity between conventional Tregs and Foxp3+RORγt+ T cells, indicating that these cells have a stable regulatory, rather than inflammatory, function. Indeed, adoptive transfer of Foxp3+RORγt+ T cells in the context of T cell transfer colitis not only confirmed their Treg function and lineage stability in vivo, it also revealed a significantly enhanced regulatory capacity as compared to RORγt+ Treg cells. Thus, our data suggest that RORγt expression in Tregs is essential for optimal regulation of gut-specific immune responses, which renders them an important effector Treg lineage in the intestinal system.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are similar to T helper (Th) cells in expression of cytokines and transcription factors. For example, RORγt is the lineage-specific transcription factor for both ILC3 and Th17 cells. However, the ILC counterpart for BCL6-expressing T follicular helper (Tfh) cells has not been defined. Here, we report that in the ILC compartment, BCL6 is selectively co-expressed with not only CXCR5, but also RORγt and CCR6 in ILC3 from multiple tissues. BCL6-deficient ILC3 produce enhanced levels of IL-17A and IL-22. More importantly, phenotypic and single-cell ATAC-seq analysis show that absence of BCL6 in mature ILC3 increases the numbers of ILC1 and transitional cells co-expressing ILC3 and ILC1 marker genes. A lineage-tracing experiment further reveals BCL6+ ILC3 to ILC1 trans-differentiation under steady state. Lastly, microbiota promote BCL6 expression in colonic CCR6+ ILC3, and thus reinforce their stability. Collectively, our data have demonstrated that CCR6+ ILC3 have both Th17 and Tfh programs and that BCL6 expression in these cells functions to maintain their lineage identity.
