Single cell transcriptomic analysis (InDrops) of mouse CD4+ T cells isolated from colon

ABSTRACT: RORg+ and Helios+ Tregs in the colon are phenotypically and functionally distinct, but their origins and relationships are poorly understood. In monocolonized and normal mice, single-cell RNAseq revealed sharing of TCR clonotypes between these Treg populations, potentially denoting a common progenitor. In a polyclonal Treg replacement system, naïve conventional CD4+ (Tconv) cells, but not pre-existing tTregs, could differentiate into RORg+ pTregs upon interaction with gut microbiota. A smaller proportion of Tconv converted into Helios+ pTregs, but these dominated when the Tconv originated from pre-weaning mice. T cells from infant mice were predominantly immature, insensitive to RORg-inducing bacterial cues and to IL6, and showed evidence of higher TCR-transmitted signals, also characteristics of recent thymic emigrants (RTE). Correspondingly, transfer of adult RTE or Nur77high Tconv mainly yielded Helios+ pTregs, recapitulating the infant/adult difference. Thus, CD4+ Tconv can differentiate into both RORg+ and Helios+ pTregs, providing a physiological adaptation of colonic Tregs as a function of the age of the cell or of the individual.

Immune Gene Expression Profile of Conventional and Regulatory T cells

Project description:Understanding human regulatory T cells (Tregs) heterogeneity may identify markers of disease pathogenesis and facilitate the development of optimized cellular therapeutics. To better elucidate human Treg subsets, we conducted direct transcriptional profiling of CD4+FOXP3+Helios+ thymic-derived Treg (tTreg) and CD4+FOXP3+Helios- peripherally-induced Treg (pTreg), followed by comparison to CD4+FOXP3-Helios- T conventional (Tconv) cells. This analysis revealed that the coinhibitory receptor T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) was highly expressed on tTreg. In this study CD4 T cells were stained for the Treg-associated transcription factors FOXP3 and Helios, and subsequently FACS sorted to yield three populations: tTreg (CD4+FOXP3+Helios+), pTreg (CD4+FOXP3+Helios–) and the reference population Tconv (CD4+FOXP3–Helios–). A direct transcriptional profile was obtained from the recovered RNA from the populations defined as tTreg, pTreg, and Tconv.

Helios expression defines two distinct populations of Foxp3+ Treg cells

Project description:The transcription factor Helios is expressed in a large subset of Foxp3+ Tregs of both mouse and man. We previously demonstrated that Treg induced in peripheral sites (pTreg) from Foxp3- T conventional (Tconv) cells were Helios- and proposed that Helios is a marker of thymic derived Treg (tTreg). To compare the two Treg subpopulations, we generated Helios-GFP reporter mice and crossed them to Foxp3-RFP reporter mice. The Helios+ Treg population expressed a more activated phenotype and had a higher suppressive capacity in vitro. Both populations expressed a highly demethylated TSDR and both subsets were equivalent in their ability to suppress inflammatory bowel disease in vivo. However, Helios+ Treg more effectively inhibited the proliferation of activated, autoreactive splenocytes from scurfy mice. When Helios+ and Helios- Treg were transferred to lymphoreplete mice, both populations maintained comparable Foxp3 expression, but Foxp3 expression was less stable in Helios- Treg when transferred to lymphopenic mice. Gene expression profiling of the two populations demonstrated a large number of differentially expressed genes and that Helios- Treg subpopulation expressed certain genes normally expressed in CD4+Foxp3- T cells. TCR repertoire analysis indicated very little overlap between Helios+ and Helios- Treg. Thus, Helios+ and Helios- Treg subpopulations are phenotypically and functionally distinct, consistent with thymic and peripheral sites of origin, respectively. Because of their superior suppressive activity and enhanced stability Foxp3+Helios+ Treg represent the optimal Treg population for cellular immunotherapy.

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.

Homeostatic, repertoire and transcriptional relationships between colon T regulatory cell subsets

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the colon are key to promoting peaceful co-existence with symbiotic microbes. Differentiated in either thymic or peripheral locations, and modulated by microbes and other cellular influencers, colonic Treg subsets have been identified through key transcription factors (TF; Helios, Rorg, Gata3, cMaf), but their inter-relationships are unclear. Here, we perform genomic analysis of colonic lamina propria Tregs with conditional KOs of each of these TFs to better understand how each TF contributes to colonic Treg identity and function.

Composition of colonic microbes in mice deficient in intestinal Treg subsets

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are immune cells that play a crucial role in maintaining tolerance to harmless antigens, including commensal microbes. In the intestine, Tregs can be classified into subsets based on their expression of transcription factors Helios, Rorg, Gata3 and cMaf. The exact functions of the intestinal Treg subsets and their role in maintaining tolerance to intestinal microbes is not fully understood. Here, we generated conditional knockout mice of each Treg subset and profiled the composition of their intestinal microbiota by performing 16S rRNA sequencing of stool from conditional knockouts and matched littermate controls.

Evaluation of Genome-wide chromatin accessibility of BM T cell subsets [ATAC_TC]

Project description:Chromatin accessibility of bone marrow conventional T cells, pTregs, tTregs, BMAC-induced Tregs and in vitro-induced Tregs were compared Bone marrow (BM) harbors a large repertoire of regulatory T (Treg) cells, which are essential in hematopoiesis and peripheral tolerance. Treg cell accumulation in BM has been viewed as a consequence of preferential immigration of thymus-derived Treg cells. Here we report a novel subset of antigen presenting cells, which expresses the autoimmune regulator (Aire). These BM Aire-expressing cells resemble a subset of CD138+B220-TACI+Blimp-1+MHC-II+ plasma cells (pc-BMACs) and express a diverse repertoire of tissue-restricted self-antigens. pc-BMACs present self-antigens to na ve CD4+ T cells and can efficiently convert these into functionally competent CD25+Foxp3+ bona fide peripheral Treg cells (pTregs) capable of exerting immune suppression in vitro and in vivo. Aire expression may contribute to the tolerogenic function of pc-BMACs as it regulates the expression of genes involved in pTreg induction and function, including Icosl and retinoic acid synthesis-related genes, Aldh1a2 and Aldh1b1. Our data thus demonstrate an Aire-expressing plasma cell subset in the BM capable to promote peripheral tolerance by ectopically expressing tissue-restricted self-antigens and generating pTregs.

Gene profiling data of CD4+ T cells transduced with FOXP3 and candidate cofactors

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 FoxP3 and its candidate cofactors (Eos, Gata1, Helios, Irf4, Lef1, Satb1, Xbp1) on the expression of the Treg transcriptional signature, CD4+ conventional T cells (Tconv) activated with anti-CD3+CD28 beads were retrovirally transduced with cDNAs encoding FOXP3, candidate TFs, or a combination of FOXP3 and candidate TFs. After 3 days in culture, the transduced cells were sorted into Trizol, and RNA was purified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays.
