Project description:We aim to determine the role of KAP1 in regulatory T cells. KAP1 is originally defined as a chromatin remodeler but there are some evidence suggesting KAP1 also works as a transcription activator. Because Treg specific KAP1 deficient mice spontaneously develop autoimmune disease, KAP1 seems to be an important transcription factor for Tregs. To address the genes which are regulated by KAP1, we performed ChIP-seq of KAP1 using mouse Tregs. We found large part of KAP1 was rectuited to transcription start sites of T cell associated genes.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of Bone Marrow FoxP3+ Treg cells. Glatman Zaretsky et al. revealed an unexpected role for Tregs in plasma cell biology. Here we determined the gene-expression profile of this new subset of FoxP3+ Treg cell, which express high levels of Treg effector molecules, similar to other non-lymphoid tissue Tregs. Gene-profiling of BM Tregs. Bone marrow Treg cells (30k) (gfp+CD25hiCD4+TCRβ+) (dump negative: CD19-CD8α-TCRγδ-CD11b-CD11c-NK1.1-Gr-1-Ter-119-) were triple-sorted from pools of two to three reporter mice (C57BL/6 Foxp3-IRES-gfp, 9 week-old males) into trizol per ImmGen SOP. RNA was amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Expression Analysis)

Project description:Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) are functionally distinct from conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). To understand Treg identity, we compared by proteomics and transcriptomics human naïve (n) and effector (e)Tregs, Tconvs and transitional FOXP3+ cells. Only 12% of 422 differentially expressed proteins was identified as such at the mRNA level, demonstrating the importance of direct proteome measurement. Fifty-one proteins discriminated Tregs from Tconvs. This common Treg protein signature indicates altered signaling by TCR-, TNF receptor-, NFB-, PI3 kinase/mTOR-, NFAT- and STAT pathways, and unique cell biological and metabolic features. Another protein signature uniquely identified eTregs and revealed active cell division, apoptosis sensitivity and suppression of NFB- and STAT signaling. eTreg fate appears consolidated by FOXP3 outnumbering its partner transcription factors. These features explain why eTregs cannot produce inflammatory cytokines, whereas transitional FOXP3+ cells can. Collectively, our data reveal that Treg identity is defined and protected by uniquely “wired” signaling pathways.

Project description:The proposed use of Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells as potential cellular therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases, or post-hemopoietic stem cell or organ transplantation, requires a sound understanding of the transcriptional regulation of Foxp3 expression. Conserved CpG dinucleotides in the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) upstream of Foxp3 are demethylated only in stable, thymic-derived Foxp3+ Tregs. Since methyl-binding domain (Mbd) proteins recruit histone-modifying and chromatin-remodeling complexes to methylated sites, we tested whether targeting of Mbd2 might promote demethylation of Foxp3 and thereby promote Treg numbers or function. Surprisingly, while ChIP analysis showed Mbd2 binding to the Foxp3-associated TSDR site in Tregs, Mbd2 targeting by homologous recombination or siRNA decreased Treg numbers and impaired Treg suppressive function in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found complete TSDR demethylation in WT Tregs but >75% methylation in Mbd2-/- Tregs, whereas re-introduction of Mbd2 into Mbd2-null Tregs restored TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 gene expression and Treg suppressive function. Lastly, Mbd2-/- Tregs had markedly binding of the DNA demethylase enzyme, Tet2, in the TSDR region. These data show that Mbd2 has a key role in promoting TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 expression and Treg suppressive function. RNA from three independent samples from magnetically separated CD4+CD25+ Treg of MBD2–/– mice, compared to wild type control (all Balb/c background).

Project description:The therapeutic use of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with autoimmune disorders has been hampered by the biological variability of memory Treg populations in the peripheral blood. In this study, we reveal through a combination of quantitative proteomic, multiparametric flow cytometry, RNA-seq data analysis and functional assays, that CD49f is heterogeneously expressed among human Tregs and impacts their immunomodulatory function. High expression of CD49f defines a subset of dysfunctional Tregs in the human blood characterized by a Th17-like phenotype and impaired suppressive capacity. CD49f is similarly distributed between naïve and memory Tregs and impacts the expression of CD39, CTLA-4, FoxP3 and CCR6 specifically in the memory compartment. Accumulation of CD49f high memory Tregs in the blood of ulcerative colitis patients correlates with disease severity. Our results highlight important considerations for Treg immunotherapy design in patients with inflammatory bowel disease which could possibly extend to other autoimmune disorders.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for maintaining proper immune homeostasis. Extracellular signals (e.g. TCR, CD28, IL-2R) are necessary for the generation and maintenance of Tregs, but how these signals are integrated to control the gene expression patterns of Tregs is less clear. Here we show that the epigenetic regulator, Ezh2, was induced by CD28 costimulation and Ezh2 activity was elevated in Tregs as compared to conventional CD4+ T cells. Deletion of Ezh2 in mouse Tregs led to a progressive autoimmune disease because Tregs were compromised after activation, losing proper control of essential Treg lineage genes and adopting a gene expression pattern similar to Foxp3-deficient ‘Tregs.’ Lineage-tracing of Ezh2-deficient Tregs in vivo confirmed that the cells were destabilized selectively in activated Treg populations, which led to a significant loss of Tregs in non-lymphoid tissues. These studies reveal an essential role for Ezh2 in the maintenance of Treg “identity” during cellular activation and differentiation. RNAseq of sorted populations of CD62Lhi or CD62Llo Tregs for both Ezh2-HET (Foxp3YFP-Cre/Foxp3WT;Ezh2fl/+ female mice) and Ezh2-KO (Foxp3YFP-Cre/Foxp3WT;Ezh2fl/fl female mice) were generated, in triplicate for each condition, using Illumina HiSeq 2500 single-end 50bp sequencing platform.

Project description:The transcription factor FoxP3 partakes dominantly in the specification and function of FoxP3+ CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs), but is neither strictly necessary nor sufficient to determine the characteristic Treg transcriptional signature. Computational network inference and experimental testing assessed the contribution of several other transcription factors (TFs). Enforced expression of Helios or Xbp1 elicited specific signatures, but Eos, Irf4, Satb1, Lef1 and Gata1 elicited exactly the same outcome, synergizing with FoxP3 to activate most of the Treg signature, including key TFs, and enhancing FoxP3 occupancy at its genomic targets. Conversely, the Treg signature was robust to inactivation of any single cofactor. A redundant genetic switch thus locks-in the Treg phenotype, a model which accounts for several aspects of Treg physiology, differentiation and stability. To study the impact of deficiency of candidate FoxP3 cofactors (Xbp1, Eos, Gata1) on the expression of the Treg transcriptional signature, gene expression profiles were generated from purified splenic CD4+CD25hi Tregs of these mutant or knockout mice and their wildtype littermates.
