Project description:The objective of the present study was to characterize the phenotype of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the course of parasitic Plasmodium yoelii (P .yoelii) infection of BALB/c mice. Therefore we performed microarray expression analysis of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs isolated by FACS from spleens of non-infected mice and from spleens of mice infected with P. yoelii 3 days and 5 days post infection. By comparing the gene expression profiles, we were able to identify molecules which were differentially expressed by Tregs during parasitic infection and thereby might be involved in their immune-suppressive function. Moreover, we included CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells from spleens of non-infected and P. yoelii-infected mice in our analysis. It was proposed that immune-suppressive CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells might be induced during Plasmodium infection of mice. Thus, detailed gene expression data of these cells in comparison to CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs would contribute a better understanding in the phenotype. FACS sorted CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs and CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells from pooled spleens of non-infected Foxp3/ eGFP mice (served as reference) and from pooled spleens of P. yoelii infected Foxp3/ eGFP mice 3 days and 5 days post infection were analyzed as single probes.

Project description:Single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics) analysis of mouse splenic CD4+ T cells in WT and ∆Foxp3 mice and in WT/∆Foxp3 bone marrow chimeras. Mouse CD4+T cells in 21-day-old male WT and ∆Foxp3 mice were isolated from spleen by flow cytometry as DAPI–TCRβ+CD4+ cells for 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V2 chemistry, one sample per channel). For bone marrow chimera experiment: 7 week-old CD45.2-recipient mice were irradiated with 1000 Rad, reconstituted with 4 million CD3-depleted bone marrow cells: 50% CD45.1 x Foxp3-IRES-GFP (WT, 21d-old male) and 50% Foxp3DeltaEGFPiCre/RFP x ROSA-YFP x CD45.1/2 (scurfy, 21d-old male). 10 weeks later, spleen were harvested and tagged using a different Hashtags fo each mouse. ∆Foxp3 CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2+. WT CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2–. Control WT DAPI–TCRb+CD4+GFP+ Treg cells and GFP- Tconvs cells were also tagged and sorted. Samples with different hastags were pooled before single cell encapsulation using 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V3 chemistry).

Project description:Regulatory T cells have been shown to adopt a catabolic metabolic programme with increased capacity for fatty acid oxidation fuelled oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The role of Foxp3 in this metabolic shift is poorly understood. Here we show that Foxp3 was sufficient to induce a significant increase in the spare respiratory capacity of the cell, the extra OXPHOS capacity available to a cell to increased demands on energy in response to work. Foxp3-expressing cells were enhanced in their ability to utilise palmitate for respiration and in addition the activity of electron transport complexes I, II and IV were enhanced following Foxp3 expression. ATP was secreted by both T effector and regulatory T cells and was reduced by mitochondrial respiration inhibitors. Thus Foxp3 imparts a selective advantage in ATP generation capacity to the cell and may exploit this as a source of adenosine for functional immunomodulation. In order to explore possible mechanisms for these differences in metabolism we conducted a comparative quantitative proteomics study to compare the contribution of TGFβ and the transcription factor Foxp3 to the Treg proteome. We used quantitative mass spectrometry to examine differences between proteomes of nuclear and cytoplasmic Foxp3-containing T cells and Foxp3 positive iTreg and Foxp3 negative activated CD4 T cells in addition to human peripheral blood natural Treg. Gene set enrichment analysis of our proteomic datasets demonstrated that Foxp3 drives a significant up regulation of several members of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Project description:Naturally occurring CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells (T reg cells) are currently intensively characterized because of their major importance in modulating host responses to tumors and infections, in preventing transplant rejection, and in inhibiting the development of autoimmunity and allergy. Originally, CD4+ T reg cells were identified exclusively by the constitutive expression of CD25, and many in vivo experiments have been performed using depleting antibodies directed against CD25. However, both the existence of CD25– T reg cells, especially within peripheral tissues, as well as the expression of CD25 on activated conventional T cells, which precludes discrimination between T reg cells and activated conventional T cells, limits the interpretation of data obtained by the use of anti-CD25 depleting antibodies. The most specific T reg cell marker currently known is the forkhead box transcription factor Foxp3, which has been shown to be expressed specifically in mouse CD4+ T reg cells and acts as a master switch in the regulation of their development and function. To address the question of the in vivo role of T reg cells in immunopathology, we have generated bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)–transgenic mice termed depletion of regulatory T cell (DEREG) mice, which express a diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) enhanced GFP (eGFP) fusion protein under the control of the foxp3 locus, allowing both detection and inducible depletion of Foxp3+ T reg cells. The gene expression profile of both CD4+eGFP+FoxP3+ and CD4+eGFPnegFoxP3neg cells isolated from DEREG mice was here analyzed by micro array. Keywords: DEREG, FoxP3, FoxP3-EGFP, mouse, regulatory T cell, CD4 CD4+GFP+FoxP3+ and CD4+GFPnegFoxP3neg cells were isolated from DEREG mice by negative selection of CD4+ T cells (Invitrogen Kit) and subsequent FACS sorting for GFP+ and GFPneg cells. Purity was greater than 99 %. cRNA was prepared according to the Affymetrix Labeling Protocol, fragmented and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430.

Project description:As we clarified before, the FOXP3 gene is an X-linked tumor suppressor gene of both human and mouse. We also clarified that the ERBB2, SKP2 and p21 genes were transcriptionally under control of FOXP3 in human epithelial cells. In order to further clarify the FOXP3 down stream targets in human cancer cells, we conducted a microarray analysis of FOXP3-induced gene expression profiling. A human prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, was transfected either with a FOXP3-eGFP expressing vector or an eGFP-expressing vector. After 48 hrs of cell culture, we isolated eGFP-positive LNCaP cells by FACS sorting, and then total RNA from those cells were extracted by Qiagen's RNeasy column and they were applied to Affymetrix Human U133 2.0 array according to the manufacture's protocol. We clarified as yet unknown FOXP3 target genes in human prostate epithelial cells by this analysis.

Project description:The relative contribution of induced and natural Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (iTreg and nTreg cells, respectively) to the maintenance of tolerance is unknown. We examined their respective roles by in vivo adoptive transfer immunotherapy of newborn Foxp3-deficient BALB/c mice. Survival, weight gain, tissue infiltration, T cell activation, and the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines were used as outcome measurements. Treatment with iTreg cells alone was not successful. While effective in preventing death, treatment with nTreg cells alone was associated with chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. Outcomes markedly improved when conventional T (Tconv) cells were transferred together with the nTreg cells, where 10% of the peripheral Treg cell pool was derived by in-situ conversion. This enhancement depended upon the capacity of Tconv cells to express Foxp3. The gene expression profile of in vivo derived iTreg cells was similar to the established nTreg cell genetic signature. These results identify iTreg cells as an essential regulatory subset that supplements tolerance maintained by nTreg cells. Purified cells sorted by flow cytometry from 4-8 treated mice(pooled EGFP+ Thy1.1+ iTreg cells with that of EGFP+ Thy1.1+ nTreg cells sorted from the spleens and lymph nodes of treated mice) were used to generate total RNA for each iTreg and nTreg array set, which was labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 GeneChips in accordance to the manufacturer’s protocol. Three sets of arrays were performed, and the results were averaged. Both iTreg and nTreg array sets were compared to a) naïve CD4+EGFP– Tconv cells from Foxp3EGFP mice and b) in vitro derived iTreg cells 72 hours after Foxp3 induction, generated earlier. The subset of probe sets whose expression increased or decreased by twofold or more relative to Tconv cells as a common standard was identified and used for further analysis. Naïve CD4+EGFP– Tconv cells from Foxp3EGFP mice and in vitro derived iTreg cells 72 hours after Foxp3 induction datasets obtained from GSE14415: Naïve CD4+EGFP– Tconv cells from Foxp3EGFP mice: GSM360171 - GSM360173 In vitro derived iTreg cells 72 hours after Foxp3 induction: GSM360147 - GSM360151

Project description:The central nervous system (CNS) hypothalamus controls systemic metabolism. Inflammatory CNS processes evolving upon exposure to calorie-rich diet are thought to promote impaired metabolic CNS control, thereby triggering obesity and Type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, immune cells relevant for maintaining hypothalamic integrity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify hypothalamic CD4+Foxp3+regulatory T(Treg) cells which control local tissue-inflammation. Specifically, upon exposure to a calorie-rich diet, a significant decline in hypothalamus-residing Foxp3+Tregs occurred and was accompanied by increased immune activation of CD4+T cells, infiltrating macrophages and microglia. Microglial proteomes of mice exposed to the hypercaloric challenge confirmed characteristics of immune activation; specifically, mRNA expression profiling of hypothalamic CD4+T cells indicated a Th1-mediated inflammatory state evidenced by high levels of Tbx21, Cxcr3, Cd226 and reduced expression of Ccr7 and S1P1 receptors relevant for recruitment to and retention at inflammatory sites. Using Treg depletion and transfer experiments in vivo, we found that Foxp3+Tregs critically limit hypothalamic immune activation induced by hyper-caloric challenge. Our findings open new avenues in the design of tailored concepts to improve immunometabolic health in obesity and T2D.
