Downregulation of Uhrf1 activity by TGF-β signaling controls Foxp3 methylation and iTreg cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are essential for immune system homeostasis and suppression of excessive immune responses. Both TGF-β signaling and epigenetic modifications are important in the regulation of Foxp3 induction, but whether TGF-β signaling participates in the epigenetic regulation of Foxp3 has not been fully clarified. Here, we show that Uhrf1, which is induced by TCR stimulation and regulated by TGF-β signaling, controls Foxp3 methylation and iTreg cell differentiation. T cell-specific ablation of Uhrf1 led to Treg-biased differentiation in naïve T cells, with DNA hypomethylation upon TCR stimulation, and these Foxp3+ T cells had suppressive function. Uhrf1 maintained Foxp3 DNA methylation by recruiting Dnmt1 during cell division upon TCR stimulation. TGF-β treatment led to passive demethylation of the Foxp3 promoter to initiate its expression. Mechanistically, Uhrf1 was phosphorylated upon TGF-β stimulation and largely sequestered in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylated Uhrf1 underwent proteasomal degradation through inhibition of Usp7-mediated deubiquitination. Collectively, our study reveals a novel epigenetic mechanism of TGF-β-mediated iTreg cell differentiation regulated by Uhrf1 and reveals the differential role of active and passive demethylation in Foxp3 induction and stability.

Expression profile of cultured CD4 T cells

Project description:After activation via TCR, naïve CD4 T cells differentiate into several subsets including effector helper T cells and TGF-b-dependent inducible regulatory T (Treg) cells. These differentiated CD4 T cell subsets are more plastic than have previously been assumed to be, and some transdifferentiations among subsets have been reported. However, Th1 cells are one of the most stable subsets, and reprogramming of Th1 to Treg cells, especially underlining mechanism(s) of such conversion, has not been investigated in depth. Here we established a culture method of inducing Foxp3 expression from differentiated Th1 cells. This is achieved simply by resting Th1 cells in the absence of TCR ligation before stimulation in the presence of TGF-b. We named these Th1-derived Foxp3+ cells Th1reg cells. Th1reg cells showed an iTreg-like phenotype and suppressive ability. Th1reg cells induced with vitamin C showed high stability of Foxp3 expression in vitro and in vivo. Th1reg cells could also be induced from in vivo-developed Th1 cells prepared from mice with graft versus host disease. Surprisingly, the resting process did not induce appreciable change in epigenetic modifications at the Foxp3 locus, but down-regulated the mTORC1 activity of Th1 cells. Shift from glycolysis, downstream of the mTORC1 pathway, to oxidative phosphorylation-dependent metabolism was important for the induction of Th1reg cells. Both expression and TGF-b-induced phosphorylation of Smad2/3 were impaired in Th1 cells, and inhibition of mTORC1 restored the phosphorylation. Our study would lead to the development of a novel therapy for Th1-type aberrant inflammation.

Comparison of gene expression in Wild type and T cell-specific conditional Trim28 KO in TCR stimulated and un-stimulated naive CD4 positive and T regulatory cells

Project description:A microarray study was performed in unstimulated and TCR-stimulated CD4 + T cells and Treg in wild type and conditional Trim28 KO mice to identify genes that are regulated by Trim28. These experiments constitute a portion of the study described below: Paper Abstract: Peripheral T cell activation and differentiation into specialized effectors are regulated by TCR- and cytokine-mediated signals that induce clonal expansion and unique transcriptional factors. These processes may include active chromatin modification by nuclear factors. In search of such molecules, we found Trim28, a component of large nuclear chromatin-regulatory complex is tightly controlled upon TCR stimulation at the level of phosphorylation, and examined global impact of Trim28 loss in especially CD4+ T cells, by generating T cell-specific conditional Trim28 KO mice (CKO). CD4+ T cells from CKO mice showed defective IL-2 production and T cell proliferation associated with defective upregulation of cell-cycle associated proteins. Accordingly, young CKO showed T-lymphopenia. Surprisingly, Trim28 CKO mice eventually accumulated auto-reactive memory-phenotype T cells that produced inflammatory IL-17. CKO mice are also susceptible to induced auto-inflammatory disease with TH-17 dominant immune response. Loss of Trim28 showed aberrant accumulation of TH-17 and FoxP3+ T cells, two key T cells in inflammation vs. tolerance. We found CKO T cells showed a cell-extrinsic promotion of TH-17 and FoxP3+ T cell development by a mechanism involving overproduction of TGF-beta. Our study revealed unexpected roles of Trim28, a global chromatin regulator in both T cell activation and tolerance. Trim28 conditional KO mice and age-matched control mice were sacrificed, and neive CD4+ T cells (CD4+CD62+CD25-) and Treg (CD4+CD62+CD25+) were sorted. Stimulation of naive T cells was done with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 for 13 hours. We collected quadruplicates for each group.

SMAD4 plays acritical role in CD8 T cell cytotoxic function [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) restrains cytotoxic immune response to maintain self-tolerance and to promote tumor immune evasion. Yet how SMAD4, a central transcription factor component of TGF-β signaling, regulates CD8+ T cell function remains unclear. Here we have demonstrated SMAD4 played a critical role in promoting CD8+ T cell activation and cytotoxic function. SMAD4-mediated transcriptional regulation of CD8+ T cell activation and cytotoxicity is regulated by T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway rather than TGF-β signaling pathway. We described a new mechanism that in TCR-mediated intracellular signal propagation, SMAD4 markedly translocated into the nucleus, upregulated genes that encoding TCR complex subunits and cytotoxic molecules in CD8+ T cells, reinforced the TCR-activation signals through a positive feedback loop. And in this signaling, SMAD4 is phosphorylated by ERK at Ser367 residue. Our study thus demonstrates an essential role of SMAD4 in promoting CD8+ T cell mediated cytotoxic immune responses.

The kinases MEKK2 and MEKK3 regulate Transforming Growth Factor-β-mediated helper T cell differentiation

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key mediators of the T cell receptor (TCR) signals but their roles in T helper (Th) cell differentiation are unclear. Here we showed that the MAPK kinase kinases MEKK2 (encoded by Map3k2) and MEKK3 (encoded by Map3k3),negatively regulated transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-mediated Th cell differentiation.Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- mice showed an abnormal accumulation of regulatory T (Treg) and Th17 cells in the periphery, consistent with Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- naïve CD4+ T cells’ differentiation into Treg and Th17 cells with a higher frequency than wild-type (WT) cells after TGF-beta stimulation in vitro. In addition, Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- mice developed more severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Map3k2-/-Map3k3Lck-Cre/- T cells exhibited impaired phosphorylation of the SMAD2 and SMAD3 proteins at their linker regions, which negatively regulated the TGF-beta responses in T cells. Thus, the crosstalk between TCR-induced MAPK and the TGF-beta signaling pathways is important in regulating Th cell differentiation. CD4+CD62L-CD44+ cells were FACS sorted from C57BL/6 Lck-Cre MEKK2 KO MEKK3F/-(dKO) or C57BL/6 WT mice

Proteomics reveals unique identities of human TGF-β-induced and thymus-derived CD4+ regulatory T cells

Project description:The CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cell lineage comprises thymus-derived (t)Treg cells and peripherally induced (p)Treg cells. As a model for Treg cells, studies employ TGF-β-induced (i)Treg cells generated from CD4+ conventional T (Tconv) cells in vitro. Here, we describe the relationship of iTreg cells to tTreg and Tconv cells. Proteomic analysis revealed that iTreg, tTreg and Tconv cell populations each have a unique protein expression pattern. iTreg cells had very limited overlap in protein expression with tTreg cells, regardless of cell activation status and instead shared signaling and metabolic proteins with Tconv cells. tTreg cells had a uniquely modest response to CD3/CD28-mediated stimulation. As a benchmark, we used a previously defined proteomic signature that sets ex vivo naïve and effector phenotype Treg cells apart from Tconv cells and includes unique Treg cell properties (Cuadrado et al., Immunity, 2018). This Treg cell core signature was largely absent in iTreg cells. We also used a proteomic signature that distinguishes ex vivo effector Treg cells from Tconv cells and naïve Treg cells. This effector Treg cell signature was partially present in iTreg cells. In conclusion, iTreg cells are distinct from tTreg cells and share limited features with ex vivo Treg cells at the proteomic level.

Gene expression profiles of in vitro induced Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in mice

Project description:Platelets are a rich source of many cytokines and chemokines including transforming growth factor β-1 (TGFβ1). TGFβ1 is required to convert conventional CD4+ T (Tconv) cells into induced regulatory T (iTreg) cells that express the transcription factor Foxp3. To explore whether other platelet contents will affect the properties of TGFβ induced Treg cell, we used platelet lysate that contain many other cytokines and chemokines besides TGFβ1 (pltTGFβ) to induce Foxp3 expression (pltTGFb-iTreg) from conventional CD4+ T (Tconv) cells. We used purified TGFβ1 to induce Treg (purTGFβ-iTreg) cells as a control. Gene expression profiles in iTreg cells were analyzed by microarray asay.
