Selective expansion of regulatory T cells using an orthogonal IL-2/IL-2 receptor system facilitates transplantation tolerance

ABSTRACT: Adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been shown to improve alloengraftment in animal models. However, it is technically challenging to expand Tregs ex vivo for the purpose of infusing large numbers of cells in the clinic. We demonstrated an innovative approach to engineer an orthogonal IL-2-IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) pair that selectively interacts with each other and transmits native IL-2 signals, but does not interact with the natural IL-2 or IL-2R counterparts, thereby enabling selective stimulation of target cells in vivo. Here, we introduced this orthogonal IL-2R into Tregs. Upon adoptive transfer in a murine mixed hematopoietic chimerism model, orthogonal IL-2 injection significantly promoted orthogonal IL-2R+Foxp3GFP+CD4+ cell proliferation without increasing other T cell subsets, and facilitated donor hematopoietic cell engraftment followed by acceptance of heart allografts. Our data indicate that selective IL-2 stimulation enabled by cytokine receptor engineering improves Treg potential for the induction of organ transplantation tolerance.

Essential and non-overlapping IL-2Rα-dependent signaling for thymic development and peripheral homeostasis of regulatory T cells

Project description:IL-2R signaling is essential for regulatory T cell (Treg) function. However, the precise contribution for IL-2 during Treg thymic development, peripheral homeostasis, and lineage stability remains unclear. Here we show that IL-2R signaling is essential for thymic Tregs at an early step for expansion/survival and a later step for functional maturation. Using selective deletion of CD25 in peripheral Tregs, we also find that IL-2R signaling was absolutely essential for their persistence whereas Treg lineage stability was IL-2-independent. CD25 knockout peripheral Tregs showed increased apoptosis, oxidative stress, signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced transcription of key enzymes of lipid and cholesterol biosynthetic pathways. A divergent IL-2 transcriptional signature was noted for thymic Tregs versus peripheral Tregs. These data indicate that IL-2R signaling in the thymus and the periphery leads to distinctive effects on Treg function, where peripheral Treg survival depends on a non-conventional mechanism of metabolic regulation.

Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signalling to control Treg homeostasis and Tfr development

Project description:Differentiation and homeostasis of Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) are tightly controlled by the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling, yet the mechanisms governing these processes are incompletely understood. Here we report that transcription factor Bach2 attenuates IL-2R signaling to coordinate Treg differentiation and homeostasis by directly repressed CD25 (IL-2Rα). Thus, Bach2 balances IL-2R signaling to orchestrate development and homeostasis of various Treg subsets.

Dynamic transcriptional activity and chromatin remodeling of regulatory T cells after varied duration of IL-2R signaling

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are necessary for the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and homeostasis. They have a heightened sensitivity to IL-2, which may create a therapeutic window to promote immune regulation by their selective stimulation. While IL-2 responsive genes are well characterized, yet remain unknown genetic, chromatin and metabolic programs during sustained IL-2R signaling. Longitudinal transcriptional and chromatin accessibility profiling and metabolic studies were performed on peripheral Tregs in response to long-lived mIL-2/CD25 fusion protein. We found an initially increased STAT5 dependent gene modulation enabled by enhanced chromatin accessibility, whereas a STAT5-independent genome-wide chromatin closing to inhibit transcription and cell signaling occurred later. Interestingly, IL-2-dependent genes were induced upon re-stimulation. Mitochondrial metabolism was reprogrammed to fulfill the bioenergetics demand for the burst of proliferation. We propose that a shift from euchromatin to heterochromatin represents a mechanism to restrain, but not abrogate, persistent IL-2R signaling to maintain Treg homeostasis.

Interleukin-2 receptor signaling acts as a checkpoint that shapes the distribution of regulatory T cell subsets (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) require IL-2 for survival in the periphery, yet how IL-2 shapes Treg heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Here we found that inhibition of IL-2R signaling in post-thymic Tregs leads to a preferential early loss of central Tregs (cTregs). Gene expression of cTregs was more dependent on IL-2R signaling than effector Tregs (eTregs). Unexpectedly, ablation of IL-2R signaling in cTregs resulted in increased proliferation, expression of eTreg genes, and enhanced capacity to develop into eTregs. These findings indicate that physiological amounts of IL-2 act as a checkpoint to maintain cTreg homeostasis and tolerance while restraining their development into eTregs. Nevertheless, direct evaluation of eTregs revealed that loss of IL-2R signaling alters the distribution of eTreg subsets, with increased IFNgR1+ eTregs and CXCR5+ PD-1+ T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells but decreased intestinal RORgt+ TR17 cells. Thus, IL-2R signaling also shapes the development of specialized eTregs subsets.

Efficient IL-2R signaling differentially affects stability, function, and composition of the regulatory T cell pool

Project description:Signaling via the interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) is a requisite for Treg cell identity and function. However, it is not completely understood to what degree IL-2R signaling is required for Treg cell homeostasis, lineage stability and function during both resting and inflammatory conditions. Here, we characterized a spontaneous mouse mutant endowed with a hypomorphic Tyr129His variant of CD25, the a chain of the IL 2R, which resulted in diminished receptor expression and reduced IL-2R signaling. Under non-inflammatory conditions Cd25-Y129H mice harbored substantially lower numbers of peripheral Treg cells with stable Foxp3 expression that prevented the development of spontaneous autoimmune diseases. In contrast, Cd25-Y129H Treg cells failed to efficiently induce immune suppression and lost linage commitment in a T cell transfer colitis model, indicating that unimpaired IL-2R signaling is critical for Treg cell function in inflammatory environments. Moreover, single-cell RNA sequencing of Treg cells revealed that impaired IL-2R signaling profoundly affected the balance of central and effector Treg cell subsets. Thus, partial loss of IL-2R signaling differentially interferes with maintenance, heterogeneity and suppressive function of the regulatory T cell pool.

Improved expansion, functionality and tumor targeting of adoptively transferred T cells with kinetically engineered IL-2

Project description:The adoptive transfer of cancer-specific T cells in combination with high dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) is able to induce effective anti-tumor responses. However, tumors frequently relapse after an initial response and the known toxicities of IL-2 further limit the use of this therapy. NKTR-214 is a CD122-biased polyethylene glycol (PEG)-genetically engineered IL-2 designed to provide sustained signaling through the heterodimeric IL-2 receptor pathway (IL-2Rβγ) to preferentially activate and expand CD8 T and natural killer (NK) cells over T regulatory cells (Tregs) in the tumor. We report that combination of adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) and NKTR-214 markedly increases the proliferation, homing and polyfunctionality of antitumor T cells into the tumor. The treatment is well tolerated and leads to robust anti-tumor response in the aggressive B16F10 model. These results suggest that NKTR-214 could improve the efficacy of ACT protocols tested in humans.

Role of Adenosine 2A Receptors (A2AR) on regulatory T cells (Tregs)

Project description:The adenosine 2A receptor (A2AR) is expressed on regulatory T cells (Tregs), but the functional significance is currently unknown. We compared the gene expression between wild-type (WT) and A2AR knockout (KO) Tregs and between WT Tregs treated with vehicle or a selective A2AR agonist. FACS-sorted GFP positive Tregs from WT or A2AR KO FoxP3GFP mouse spleen and lymph nodes were incubated 18 hr with vehicle (DMSO), a separate set of WT Tregs were incubated with the selective A2AR agonist ATL1222 10 nM (Dogwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for 18 hr prior to RNA isolation.

Transcriptional profiling of Bmal1WT and Bmal1KO Tregs

Project description:We isolated visceral adipose tissue (VAT) Tregs from Foxp3.YFP-Cre Bmal1WT or Foxp3.YFP-Cre bmal1flox mice fed a normal lean diet or a high-fat diet. VAT Tregs were also sorted after adoptive transfer. We found that Bmal1KO Tregs are more activated in lean mice, after 4 weeks HFD and after adoptive transfer, but loseVAT Treg signature after 16 weeks of high-fat diet feeding.
