Loss of Bcl3 influences gene expression in Tregs and Treg subsets [Bcl3-WT_Treg_bulkRNAseq]

ABSTRACT: Peripherally induced regulatory T cells (pTregs) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan-receptor gamma t (RORγt) are indispensable for intestinal immune homeostasis. Previous studies have determined the role of the atypical NFκB inhibitor Bcl3 in the development of colitis. In this study we analyzed the influence of Bcl3 on pTreg development and functionality in healthy mice and under colitogenic conditions. Our findings reveal that expression of Bcl3, in health, limits not just the development of pTregs in a T cell intrinsic manner but also the formation of a RORγt+Helios+ double positive subset (DPTreg) expressing an activated transcriptional profile. Consequently, loss of Bcl3 in Tregs does not impede their suppressive capacity in a model of T cell transfer colitis but moreover leads to increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGFβ. We further demonstrate that lack of Bcl3 in Tregs results in trans-differentiation towards Th17-like cells. Finally, we provide a Bcl3 dependent gene signature in pTregs including altered signaling of the cytokines IL-2, IL-6 and TNFα. We therefore conclude that expression of Bcl3 regulates the sensitivity of Tregs towards homeostatic cytokines and consequently limits the formation of an unphysiological number of RORγt+ Tregs.

The splicing isoform Foxp3∆2 differentially regulates tTregs and pTregs homeostasis

Project description:Foxp3 is the master transcription factor for the regulatory T cells (Tregs). Alternative splicing of human Foxp3 results in the expression of two isoforms: the full-length and an exon 2-deleted protein. Here, AlphaFold2 predictions and in vitro experiments demonstrate that the N-terminal domain of Foxp3 inhibits DNA binding by moving toward the C-terminus and that this movement is mediated by exon 2. Consequently, we find Foxp3∆2-bearing tTregs in the peripheral lymphoid organ are less sensitive to TCR due to the enhanced binding of Foxp3∆2 to the Batf promoter and are unsusceptible to IL-2. In contrast, among RORγt+ pTregs in the large intestine, Foxp3∆2 pTregs express much more RORγt-related genes conferring a competitive advantage. Together, our results reveal that alternative splicing of exon 2 generates a constitutively active form of Foxp3, which plays a differential role in regulating tTregs and pTregs homeostasis.

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Preferentially Marks and Promotes Gut Regulatory T Cells

Project description:Here, we generated mouse genetic models to ablate or activate Ahr expression specifically in Tregs. We showed that Ahr was expressed more abundantly by peripherally induced Treg (pTregs) in the gut than by Tregs in other lymphoid organs, and its expression was independent of microbiota. Ahr was important for Treg gut homing and function. Ahr inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by Tregs but was dispensable for Treg stability. Furthermore, Ahr-expressing Tregs had enhanced in vivo suppressive activity compared to Tregs lacking Ahr expression in a T cell transfer model of colitis. Our data suggest that Ahr signaling in Tregs may be important for gut immune homeostasis.

NF-kB regulator Bcl3 modulates bone density and turnover

Project description:B-cell lymphoma 3-encoded protein (Bcl3) is an intimate and context-specific regulator of the NF-kB family of transcription factors, a ubiquitous master regulator involved in many homeostatic and inflammatory processes. NF‑kB signalling determines the fates of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Herein we show that Bcl3 is a negative regulator of NF‑kB via control of osteoblast and osteoclast function. Mice lacking Bcl3 (Bcl3−/−) have congenitally increased bone density, long bone dwarfism, increased biomechanical strength and altered bone turnover. Bcl3−/− osteoblasts and osteoclasts have accelerated differentiation and increased activity; whereas, rescue overexpression with a Bcl3 mimetic peptide inhibits differentiation. Early-differentiating Bcl3−/− osteoblasts have altered gene transcription favouring bone formation, including perturbation of the RANKL-OPG axis. In a model of osteoarthritic aberrant mineralisation Bcl3−/− mice exhibit decreased pathological osteophyte formation. Cumulatively, these findings identify Bcl3 as a viable target for controlling NF‑kB signalling in the treatment of skeletal pathologies.

Genome wide analysis of BCL3 mediated chemotherapy resistance

Project description:We identify the atypical inhibitor-κB protein, Bcl3, as a novel biomarker in gliomas whose expression level predicts response to therapy. Bcl3 is found at 19q13 and its expression level in glioma is regulated by copy number alteration. Mechanistically, Bcl3 mediates mesenchymal differentiation and its presence promotes resistance to cytotoxic DNA damage.

Genome-wide binding of STAT3 and STAT5 under Th17 conditions (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Interleukin 2 (IL-2), a cytokine linked to human autoimmune diseases, limits IL-17 production. We show that deletion of Stat3 in T cells abrogates IL-17 production and attenuates autoimmunity associated with IL-2 deficiency. While STAT3 induces IL-17 and RORγt and inhibits Foxp3, IL-2 inhibited IL-17 independently of Foxp3 and RORγt. We found that STAT3 and STAT5 bound to multiple common sites across the Il17 genetic locus. The induction of STAT5 binding by IL-2 was associated with a reduction in STAT3 binding at these sites and the inhibition of associated active epigenetic marks. Titrating the relative activation of STAT3 and STAT5 modulated TH17 cell specification. Thus, the balance rather than the absolute magnitude of these signals determines the propensity of cells to make a key inflammatory cytokine. The genome-wide binding of STAT3 and STAT5 under Th17 conditions was investigated by CHIP-seq.

RORγt+ Innate lymphoid cells transcriptomes after aNKp44 and cytokine stimulation

Project description:RORγt+ innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are crucial players of innate immune responses and represent a major source of IL-22, which has an important role in mucosal homeostasis. The signals required by RORγt+ ILC to express IL-22 and other cytokines, including TNF, have only partially been elucidated. Here we show that RORγt+ ILC can directly sense the environment by the engagement of the activating receptor NKp44. NKp44 triggering in RORγt+ ILC selectively activates a coordinated pro-inflammatory program, including TNF, while cytokine stimulation induces preferentially IL-22 expression. However, combined engagement of NKp44 and cytokine receptors results in a strong synergistic effect. These data support the concept that NKp44+ RORγt+ ILC can be activated without cytokines and are able to switch between IL-22 or TNF production, depending on the triggering stimulus.

Genome-wide analysis of macrophage gene expression upon Bcl3 knockdown

Project description:By binding to specific DNA elements, known collectively as “κB sites”, contained within the promoters/enhancers of target genes, NF-κB regulates gene expression. We found that the identity of the central base pair (bp) of κB sites profoundly impacts the transcriptional activity of NF-κB dimers. RelA dimers prefer an A/T bp at this position for optimum transcriptional activation (A/T-centric) and discriminate against G/C-centric κB sites. The p52 homodimer, in contrast, activates transcription from G/C-centric κB sites in complex with Bcl3 but represses transcription from the A/T-centric sites. The p52:Bcl3 complex binds to these two classes of κB sites in distinct modes permitting recruitment of coactivator, corepressor, or both coactivator and corepressor complexes in promoters containing G/C, A/T or both G/C and A/T-centric sites. Therefore, through sensing of bp differences within κB sites, NF-κB dimers modulate biological programs by activating, repressing and altering expression of effector genes. Total RNA extracted from bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) with Bcl3 siRNA knockdown or mouse scramble siRNA knockdown were subjected to LPS stimulation.
