Resident effector memory Tregs of the uterus regulate trophic functions during mouse early pregnancy

ABSTRACT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) contribute to successful pregnancy by promoting maternal-fetal tolerance. We identified a novel population of CD25-Foxp3+ resident uterine Tregs in non-pregnant mouse uterus. They have phenotypic and migration properties of tissue-resident effector-memory T cells (Trm), thus identifying regulatory Trm (regTrm). Lack of CD25 expression in regTrm is caused by the IL-2-deprived uterine microenvironment. We performed a complete transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq to determined whether uterine regTrm have a unique molecular signature, as has been described for other tissue Tregs. For this, we purified CD25- regTrm from non-pregnant and pregnant uterus at day 6 to 8 of pregnancy, and we compared them to CD4+Foxp3- (CD4conv) T cells from non-pregnant uterus and to CD25+ Tregs from paraaortic uterine draining lymph nodes. We used criteria of (i) a two-fold or greater change in expression and (ii) a p-value <0.05 (cut-off at 5% FDR) to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs). DEGs were annotated by their functional relevance in pregnancy using ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) and using the PubMed Query: (Gene main name OR Gene Synonymous 1 OR Gene Synonymous 2 OR …) AND "pregnancy" OR “regulatory T cells” OR "uterus". We found that uterine regTrm have a unique transcriptional profile, impregnated with a uterine signature comprising up-regulation of genes related to the endometrium and to uterine receptivity. Pregnancy triggers regTrm expression of genes involved in trophic functions such as uterine development, extracellular matrix remodeling, hypoxia and vasculogenesis.

Gene expression profiling of uterine epithelial cells isolated from Msx1Msx2 floxed and Msx1Msx2 ablated mice on day 4 of pregnancy

Project description:Our preliminary study revealed that the homeobox transcription factors, Msx1 and Msx2, are expressed in the mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Further, conditional deletion of Msx1 and Msx2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity. To identify the downstream targets of Msx1Msx2 in the uterus, we performed gene expression profling of uterine epithelial cells isolated from Msx1Msx2-null mice and the corresponding controls on day4 of pregnancy (the time of implantation). The microarray results revealed elevated expression of mRNAs corresponding to several Wnts in uterine epithelium of Msx1Msx2-ablated mice. We performed conditional ablation of Msx1Msx2 in the mouse uterus using the PRcre mouse model. we isolated uterine epithelial cells from day4 pregnant mice (n=5 for each genotype). Total RNA was purified from these cells to hybridize to high density affymetrix microarrays.

Transciptional profile analysis of the gonadal (peri-uterine) white adipose tissue of pregnant mice

Project description:In this study we performed RNA sequencing to determine the transcriptome of the gonadal white adipose tissue of pregnant wild type mice. We further assessed, using conditional RankΔFoxn1 knockout mice (which lack expression of Rank in the thymic epithelia), how the expression of the receptor Rank in the thymic medullary epithelia affects the transcriptional program of this tissue during pregnancy, and whether adoptive transfer of natural regulatory Tregs can rescue the alterations observed in the RankΔFoxn1 dams. For this study, we isolated at day E17.5 of pregnancy, the gonadal (peri-uterine) white adipose tissue of wildtype RankWt as well as of RankΔFoxn1 dams pregnant females that were treated at days E0.5-2.5 of pregnancy with either vehicle (PBS) or with 1x105 sorted-purified wild-type natural Tregs isolated from RankWt pregnant E7.5-8.5 donors (denoted as RankΔFoxn1_Treg). For the isolation of viable Tregs for the transplant, we generated RankWt dams that express GFP from the Foxp3 promoter (by crossing to reporter mice), and use the expression of GFP to mark and isolate bona fide Tregs and, in addition, Neuropilin1 to denote the thymic origin of the Tregs. Of note, RankWt as well as of RankΔFoxn1 dams mice also carried the GFP-Foxp3 transgene and where treated with vehicle solution (PBS) at day E0.5-2.5. Total RNA was extracted from the isolated gonadal white adipose tissue of the three described cohorts (RankWt_veh, RankΔFoxn1_veh, and RankΔFoxn1_Treg) and analyzed by Quant-seq. Our study shows how the presence of Rank receptors in the thymic epithelium, functioning via natural Tregs, regulate the inflammatory and metabolic pathways implicated in adipose tissue biology during pregnancy.

Gene expression profiling of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells in the course of Plasmodium yoelii infection of BALB/c mice

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.

Tracking regulatory T cell development in the thymus using scRNA-Seq/TCR-Seq

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that mature regulatory T cells ( Tregs) develop in the thymus via two pathways involving distinct Treg progenitors (TregP) - CD25+FOXP3- (CD25+ TregP) and CD25-FOXP3lo (FOXP3lo TregP) Treg progenitors. To examine this process in more detail we carried out single-cell RNA-Seq and TCR-Seq on sorted CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes, CD4+ Ssingle -positive (CD4SP)P thymocytes, CD25+ TregP, FOXP3lo TregP, mature CD25+FOXP3+ Tregs and recirculating/long-term resident Tregs (RT-Tregs). Sorted populations were individually hashtagged and then combined into one scRNA-Seq/TCR-Seq library before sequencing and subsequent analysis. We found that both CD25+ TregP and FOXP3lo TregP arise via an initial agonist activated state that gives rise to a second transitional stage before differentiating into mature Tregs. Using both scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq on sorted thymocyte subsets we demonstrate that CD25+Foxp3- TregP are significantly enriched for Il2 production, suggesting that they are the major source of IL-2 needed to convert TregP into mature Tregs. Using TCR-Seq we found that several TCRs were clearly biased in favor of the conventional or Treg lineages, but that a large fraction of TCRs were found in both these lineages. Finally, we found that recirculating/resident Tregs in the thymus are not monomorphic, but are composed of multiple distinct subsets and that these RT-Tregs express the most diverse TCR repertoire of all CD4SP thymcocytes. Thus, our studies define multiple stages of Treg differentiation within the thymus, and serve as a resource for future studies on CD4+ thymocyte development and Treg differentiation.

Transcriptome profile form endometrial biopsy samples of pregnant and non-pregnant cows

Project description:Purpose: characterize the uterine transcriptome profiles of pregnant (P) versus non-pregnant (NP) cows during early pregnancy and attempted to define a potential set of marker genes that can be valuable for predicting pregnancy outcome. Methods: beef cows were synchronized and artificially inseminated at detected estrus. Six days after AI, jugular blood samples and a biopsy from the uterine horn contralateral to the ovary containing the corpus luteum were collected. Based on pregnancy outcome on day 30, samples were retrospectively allocated to the following groups: Pregnant and Non-Pregnant. Both groups had similar plasma progesterone concentrations on D6. Uterine biopsies were submitted to RNA-Seq analysis in a Illumina HiScanSQ platform. Results: The 272,685,768 million filtered reads were mapped to the Bos taurus reference genome and 14,654 genes were analyzed for differential expression between groups. Transcriptome data showed that 216 genes are differently expressed when comparing NP versus P uterine tissue (Padj≤0.1). More specifically, 36 genes were up-regulated in P cows and 180 are up-regulated in NP cows. Conclusions: this study characterized a unique set of genes, expressed in the uterus on 6 days after insemination, that indicate a receptive state leading to pregnancy success. Furthermore, expression of such genes can be used as potential markers to efficiently predict pregnancy success. endometrial mRNA profiles of pregnant and non-pregnant cows were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiScanSQ platform BioProject PRJNA268916 SRA Study SRP05036

Gene expression profiling of uterine stromal cells isolated from Hand2 floxed and Hand2 ablated mice on day 4 of pregnancy

Project description:Our previous study revealed that the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Hand2 is a downstream target of progesterone signaling in mouse uterine stroma at the time of implantation. Further, conditional deletion of Hand2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity. To identify the downstream targets of Hand2 in the uterus, we performed gene expression profling of uterine stromal cells isolated from Hand2-null mice and the corresponding controls on day4 of pregnancy (the time of implantation). The microarray results revealed elevated expression of mRNAs corresponding to several members of the fibroblast growth factor family in uterine stroma of Hand2-ablated mice. These factors act as paracrine mediators of mitogenic effects of estrogen on the epithleium. Thus, Hand2 is a critical regulator of the uteirne stromal-epithelial communication that directs proper steroid regulation conducive for establshment of pregnancy. We performed conditional ablation of Hand2 in the mouse uterus using the PRcre mouse model. As Hand2 expression is restricted to stromal comaprtment, we isolated uterine stromal cells from day4 pregnant mice (n=5 for each genotype), purified total RNA from these cells, pooled these samples and then hybridized to high density affymetrix microarrays.
