Project description:The forkhead DNA-binding protein FOXP3 is critical for the development and suppressive function of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (TREG), which play a key role in maintaining self tolerance. Functionally, FOXP3 is capable of repressing transcription of cytokine genes regulated by the Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells (NFAT). Various mechanisms have been proposed by which FOXP3 mediates these effects. Using novel HEK cell lines that inducibly express either wild-type (WT) or mutant FOXP3, we have identified genome-wide expression patterns showing among other features that NFAT2 as an early target of FOXP3-mediated transcriptional repression. Six biological replicates of wild-type induced FOXP3 cell lines and six biological replicates of mutated FOXP3 cell line were studied.

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor, Foxp3, is pivotal to the development and function of CD4+CD25+ T regulatory (Treg) cells that limit autoimmunity and maintain immune homeostasis. Previous data indicated that many of the functions of Foxp3 are controlled by the acetylation of several lysines within the forkhead domain. We now show that mutation of each of two lysines within the forkhead domain of Foxp3, lysine at position 382 (K17) and lysine at position 393 (K18), impaired Treg suppressive function in vivo and in vitro. Lysine mutations also decreased Treg expression of multiple functionally important Foxp3-regulated genes, and inhibited the promoter remodeling of target genes (CTLA-4 and IL-2) without affecting Foxp3 expression level. These data point to the need for a further understanding of the effects of various post-translational modifications on Foxp3 function. Our studies also provide a rationale for developing small molecule inhibitors of such post-translational modifications so as to regulate Foxp3+ Treg function clinically.

Project description:The transcription factor (TF) Forkhead Box P3 (FOXP3) is constitutively expressed in high levels in natural occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (nTreg) and is not only the most accepted marker for that cell population, but is considered lineage determinative. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of transcription factors in combination with genomic tiling microarray analysis (ChIP-on-Chip) has been shown to be an appropriate tool to identify FOXP3 transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) on a genome-wide scale. In combination with microarray expression analysis the ChIP-on-Chip technique allows to identify direct FOXP3 target genes. This dataset shows expression data of resting and mitogen stimulated (PMA / ionomycin) retrovirally transduced Jurkat T cells either expressing FOXP3(M-NM-^T2) (J-FOXP3) or an empty vector control (J-GFP). Expression profile of resting and PMA/ionomycin stimulated J-GFP and J-FOXP3 cells was analyzed (one microarray per condition).

Project description:Foxp3, a transcription factor of the forkhead/winged helix family, plays a unique role in the transcriptional control of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T (Treg) cells. The identification of potential target genes associated with the regulatory phenotype and the characterization of combinatorial interactions of transcription factors (TF) in promoter regions in genes regulated by Foxp3 has become important to understand the transcriptional control of Treg cells.

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor Foxp3 is essential for the development of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and prevention of autoimmunity, but how it controls the Treg gene expression program is not understood. We describe here genome-wide location and expression data that identify Foxp3 target genes and report that many Foxp3 target genes are key modulators of T cell activation and function. Remarkably, the predominant effect of Foxp3 binding is to suppress the activation of target genes upon T cell stimulation. Foxp3 suppression of its targets appears to be crucial for the normal function of Treg cells because overactive variants of some target genes are known to be associated with autoimmune disease.

Project description:Aims: The Ca+/NFAT (Nuclear factor of activated T cells) signaling pathway activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD); however, we lack detailed information regarding the regulatory network involved in the human coronary endothelial cell dysfunction and cardiovascular lesion development. Herein, we aimed to use mouse and endothelial cell models of KD vasculitis in vivo and in vitro to characterize the regulatory network of NFAT pathway in KD. Methods and Results: Among the NFAT gene family, NFAT2 showed the strongest transcriptional activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with KD. Then, NFAT2 overexpression and knockdown experiments in Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) indicated that NFAT2 overexpression disrupted endothelial cell homeostasis by regulation of adherens junctions, whereas its knockdown protected HCAECs such dysfunction. Combined analysis using RNA sequencing and transcription factor (TF) binding site analysis in the NFAT2 promoter region predicted regulation by Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4). Western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase assays validated that FOXO4 binds to the promoter and transcriptionally represses NFAT2. Moreover, Foxo4 knockout increased the extent of inflamed vascular tissues in a mouse model of KD vasculitis. Functional experiments showed that inhibition NFAT2 relieved Foxo4 knockout exaggerated vasculitis in vivo.

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.
