Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis of Tregs isolated from Foxp3RFP/∆2Foxp3∆CNS1-cre-Thy1.1Rosa26LSL-YFP female mice. CD4+YFP+RFP+ (WT Tregs) and CD4+YFP+RFP- (Foxp3∆2 Tregs) cells were sorted from lymph nodes and spleen to a typical purity of >95% We detected 638 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, FDR < 0.05) between Foxp3∆2 and WT Tregs

Project description:The mechanism of egress of mature regulatory T cells (Tregs) from the thymus to the periphery remains enigmatic, as does the nature of those factors expressed in the thymic environment. Here, we examined the fate of thymic Tregs in TNFα/RelA double-knockout (TA-KO) mice, because TA-KO mice retain a Treg population in the thymus but have only a small Treg population at the periphery. Transplantation of whole TA-KO thymus to under the kidney capsule of Rag1 null mice failed to induce the production of donor-derived splenic Tregs expressing neuropilin-1 (Nrp1), which was reported to be a marker of naturally occurring Tregs, indicating that TA-KO thymic Tregs either do not leave the thymus or are lost at the periphery. We next transplanted enriched TA-KO thymic Tregs to the peripheries of TA-KO mice and traced mouse survival. Transplantation of TA-KO thymic Tregs rescued the lethality in TA-KO mice, demonstrating that TA-KO thymic Tregs remain functional at the periphery. The TA-KO thymic Treg population had highly demethylated CpG motifs in the foxp3 locus, indicating that the cells were arrested at a late-mature stage. Also, the population included a large subpopulation of Tregs expressing IL-7Rα, which is a possible marker of late-mature Tregs. Finally, TA-KO fetal liver chimeric mice developed an Nrp1+ splenic Treg population from TA-KO cells, suggesting that Treg arrest is caused by a lack of RelA in the thymic environment. Together, these results suggest that egress of mature Tregs from the thymus depends on RelA in the thymic environment. For the isolation of thymic Tregs, CD4+CD8α-CD25hi thymocytes were isolated from five 1.5- to 2-week-old TNFα-KO or TA-KO mice by using a FACSAria cell sorter. For the isolation of thymic stromal cells, 10 thymi from 1.5- to 2-week-old TNFα-KO or TA-KO mice were minced with scissors and treated with RPMI 1640 supplemented with 2% FCS, 0.2 mg/ml collagenase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), 0.2 mg/ml dispase I (Roche), and 100 U/ml DNase I (Life Technologies) for 30 min with stirring. Digested thymi were centrifuged in a Percoll (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) gradient (density, 1.115, 1.065, and PBS) at 1400g for 30 min. Cells in the upper layer were collected, and the CD45-EpCAM+ (thymic epithelial cells) and CD45+EpCAM- populations (enriched thymic stromal cells containing macrophages or dendritic cells) were sorted.

Project description:EAE was induced in female FOXP3 fate mapping mice. At peak of disease, immune cells were isolated from brain and spinal cord (pooled as CNS) and spleen. Next, FOXP3+ and exFOXP3 T cells were FACS-sorted based on RFP and GFP expression.

Project description:Tregs from spleen and thymus of naive Wild-type mice and mice lacking Dendritic Cells (deltaDC) were analyzed. Thymus derived Tregs of both strains show similar expression patterns, peripheral splenic Tregs from deltaDC mice differ from Tregs of WT mice.

Project description:TIGIT+ Tregs suppress Th1 and Th17 responses while sparing Th2 responses. Analysis of global gene expression of TIGIT+ vs. TIGIT- Tregs from naive mice reveled that TIGIT+ Tregs display an activated phenotype and are enriched for Treg signature genes including the Treg effector molecule Fgl2 which enables them to selectively spare Th2 responses. TIGIT+ and TIGIT- Tregs were sorted from naïve Foxp3-GFP KI mice (pooled spleen and lymph nodes) TIGIT: T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains
