Functional Analysis and Gene Expression Profile of Umbilical Cord Blood Regulatory T Cells

ABSTRACT: Since the role of cord blood (CB) regulatory T cells (Tregs) for the suppression of the allogeneic T-cell response is under investigation, we analyzed and compared the functional properties and gene expression profile of Tregs expanded from CB units or from the peripheral blood (PB) of helathy donors. Tregs were purified from 23 CB units and from the PB of 13 donors and expanded for 6 days with anti-CD3, anti-CD28 and IL-2. Immunophenotypic analyses were performed, and suppressor activity of expanded Tregs was measured in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) cultures. The IL-10 production capacity was tested and gene expression profile experiments were performed on 6 Tregs from PB and 4 from CB. CB and PB Tregs had similar immunophenotypic features. Tregs from CB presented a higher expansion capacity and genomic characterization showed in CB-derived Tregs a significant enrichments of genes involved in cell proliferation, chromatin modification and regulation of gene expression in CB-derived Tregs. All samples were positive for the Foxp3 gene and protein after expansion. CB and PB expanded Tregs exerted a comparable and potent suppressive function of MLR and presented a high in vitro IL-10 production capacity. Gene profile analysis also revealed for PB Tregs a significant enrichments of genes involved in the adaptive immune response.

Gene expression profiling of effector and regulatory T-cells from peripheral blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy volunteers.

Project description:Objective: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the suppressive capacity of Tregs from the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to determine whether Tregs are intrinsically defective in RA using a wide range of read-out assays. Methods: CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs from CD45RO+ and CD45RA+ compartments of PB from patients with RA and healthy controls (HC) were analysed for phenotype, cytokine expression profile (ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation), suppression of effector T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, suppression of monocyte-derived cytokine/chemokine production, and gene expression profiling. Results: No differences were observed between patients with RA and HC regarding Treg frequency, ex vivo phenotype (CD4, CD25, CD127, CD39, CD161) or pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha). FOXP3 expression was increased in Tregs from RA blood. The ability of Tregs to suppress T-cell proliferation or cytokine (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha) production upon co-culture with autologous CD45RO+ effector T-cells and monocytes was not significantly different between patients with RA and HC. CD45RO+ Tregs from RA blood showed a slightly impaired ability to suppress production of some cytokines/chemokines by autologous LPS-activated monocytes (IL-1-beta, IL-1Ra, IL-7, CCL3, CCL4), but this was not true for all patients and other cytokines/chemokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-15, CCL5) were suppressed in the majority of patients similarly to HC. Finally, gene expression profiling of CD45RA+ or CD45RO+ Tregs from PB revealed no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and HC. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that Tregs isolated from PB of patients with RA are not intrinsically defective.

Nanostring CAR T Characterization panel comparing expression in cord blood-derived transgenic T cells cultured with IL-2 or with IL-7 and IL-15, peripheral blood-derived transgenic T cells cultured with IL-2

Project description:The purpose of the experiment was to transcriptionally characterize transgenic T cells derived from cord blood (CB) and cultured with IL-2 or IL-7 and IL-15, or from peripheral blood (PB) and cultured with IL-2. The sample replicates were generated using peripheral and cord blood mononuclear cells, obtained from healthy human donors and cord blood units that were not compliant with banking standards, respectively. T cells were then transduced with a retroviral vector encoding an HLA-DRB1*04-restricted TCR targeting the human papillomavirus oncoprotein E7.

10X genomics single cell GEX and VDJ 5' sequencing of PBMC from Type 1 Diabetes patients treated with Treg therapy alone or plus low dose IL-2

Project description:Background: A previous Phase I study showed that the infusion of autologous Treg cells expanded ex-vivo into recent onset Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients had an excellent safety profile, however, the majority of the infused Tregs could no longer be detected in the peripheral blood three months post-infusion (NCT01210664-Treg-T1D Trial). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a well-characterized cytokine that has been shown to enhance human Treg cell survival and expansion at low doses in vivo. Therefore, a Phase 1 study (NCT02772679-TILT trial) was conducted combining a single infusion of autologous polyclonal Tregs, expanded ex vivo, followed by one or two 5-day courses of recombinant human low dose IL-2 (ld-IL-2) at 0.3 x 10^6 to 1 x 10^6 units/dose. The infusions had an acceptable safety profile, but all 9 patients failed to maintain C-peptide production at pre-treatment levels. Results: Single cell gene expression analysis revealed that the combination therapy led to a transient increase in the number of infused and endogenous Tregs but also resulted in a significant increase from baseline in a subset of activated NK, Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and clonal CD8+ T populations from populations

Genetic module and miRNome trait analyses reflect the distinct biological features of endothelial progenitor cells from different anatomic locations

Project description:Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a fundamental role in post-natal vascular repair, yet EPCs from different anatomic locations possess unique biological properties. The underlying mechanisms are unclear. Method: We performed transcriptome analysis for EPCs isolated from 2 different sources: cord blood (CB) or adult peripheral blood (PB). Both gene expression microarray and small RNA sequencing (smRNA-seq) technologies were applied. Results: EPCs from CB expressed abundant genes involved in cell cycle, hypoxia signalling and blood vessel development, correlating with the phenotypes that CB-EPCs proliferated more rapidly, migrated faster, and formed tubule structure more efficiently. smRNA-seq further deciphered miRNome patterns in EPCs isolated from CB or PB: 54 miRNAs were enriched in CB-EPCs, while another 50 in PB-EPCs. Specifically, CB-EPCs expressed more angiogenic miRNAs such as miR-31, while PB-EPCs possessed more tumor suppressive miRNAs including miR-10a. Knocking down miR-31 levels in CB-EPCs suppressed cell migration and microtubule formation, while overexpressing miR-31 in PB-EPCs helped to recapitulate some of CB-EPC functions. Conclusion: Our results show the foundation for a more detailed understanding of EPCs from different anatomic sources. Stimulating the expression of angiogenic microRNAs or genes in EPCs of low activity (such as those from patients with cardiovascular diseases) might allow the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Functional Plasticity of Regulatory T Cell Function

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) can suppress a wide variety of cell types, in diverse organ sites and inflammatory conditions. While Tregs possess multiple suppressive mechanisms, the number required for maximal function is unclear. Furthermore, whether any inter-relationship orcross-regulatory mechanisms exist that areused to orchestrate and control their utilization is unknown. Here we assessed the functional capacity of Tregs lacking the ability to secrete both interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-35, which individually are required for maximal Treg activity. Surprisingly, IL-10/IL-35-double deficient Tregswere fully functionalin vitro and in vivo. Loss of IL-10 and IL-35 was compensated for by a concurrent increase in cathepsin E (CTSE) expression, enhanced TRAIL (Tnfsf10)expression and soluble TRAIL release, rendering IL-10/IL-35-double deficient Tregsfunctionally dependent on TRAIL in vitro and in vivo. Lastly, while C57BL/6 Tregs are IL-10/IL-35-dependent, Balb/c Tregs, which express high levels of CTSE and enhanced TRAIL expression, are TRAIL-dependent.These data reveal that cross-regulatory pathways exist, which control the utilization of suppressive mechanisms,thereby providing Tregfunctional plasticity. Isolate natural Tregs from the different knockout mouse
