MiR-15/16 clusters restrict effector Treg cell differentiation and function

ABSTRACT: Effector regulatory T cells (eTregs) exhibit distinct homeostatic properties and superior suppressor capacities pivotal for controlling immune responses mediated by their conventional T cell counterpart. While the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Tregs has been well-established, how miRNAs regulate eTregs remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that miR-15/16 clusters act as key regulators in limiting eTreg responses. Loss of miR-15/16 clusters leads to increased eTreg frequencies with enhanced suppressor function. Consequently, mice with Treg-specific ablation of miR-15/16 clusters display attenuated immune responses during neuroinflammation and upon both infectious and non-infectious challenges. Mechanistically, miR-15/16 clusters exert their regulatory effect in part through repressing IRF4, a transcription factor essential for eTreg differentiation and function. Moreover, miR-15/16 clusters also directly target neuritin, an IRF4-dependent molecule, known for its role in Treg-mediated regulation of plasma cell responses. Together, we identify an miRNA family that controls an important Treg subset and further demonstrate that eTreg responses are tightly regulated at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels.

An essential role for miR-15/16 in Treg suppression and restriction of proliferation

Project description:The miR-15/16 family is a highly expressed group of tumor suppressor miRNAs that target a large network of genes in T cells to restrict their cell cycle, memory formation and survival. Upon T cell activation, miR-15/16 are downregulated, allowing rapid expansion of differentiated effector T cells to mediate a sustained immune response. Here, using conditional deletion of miR-15/16 in immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express FOXP3, we identify new functions of the miR-15/16 family in T cell immunity. miR-15/16 are indispensable to maintain peripheral tolerance by securing efficient suppression by a limited number of Tregs. miR-15/16-deficiency alters Treg expression of critical functional proteins including FOXP3, IL2Rα/CD25, CTLA4, PD-1 and IL7Rα/CD127, and results in accumulation of functionally impaired FOXP3loCD25loCD127hi Tregs. Excessive proliferation in the absence of miR-15/16 inhibition of cell cycle programs shifts Treg diversity and produces an effector Treg phenotype characterized by low expression of TCF1, CD25 and CD62L, and high expression of CD44. These Tregs fail to control immune activation of CD4+ effector T cells, leading to spontaneous multi-organ inflammation and increased allergic airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Together, our results demonstrate that miR-15/16 expression in Tregs is essential to maintain immune tolerance.

The TNF receptor super family - NF-κB axis is critical to maintain effector regulatory T cells in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues [ChIP-seq]

Project description:After exiting the thymus, Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells undergo further differentiation in the periphery resulting in the generation of effector (e)Treg cells, a process dependent on TCR signaling and the transcription factor IRF4. Here we show tumor necrosis factor receptor super family (TNFRSF) signaling plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of eTreg cells. TNFRSF signaling activated the NF-κB transcription factor RelA and induced expansion and survival of eTreg cells in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues, including RORγt+ resident Treg cells in the small intestine. RelA regulated basic cellular processes in Treg cells, including cell survival and proliferation in response to TNFRSF signaling, but was not required for IRF4 expression or DNA binding, indicating that both pathways operate independently. Importantly, a similar pathway appeared to be active in humans, as patients with a point mutation in NF-κB1, a binding partner of RelA, had severely compromised Treg cells. Therefore, although TCR signaling is essential for eTreg cell differentiation, the TNFRSF-NF-κB axis was additionally required in a non-redundant manner to maintain the pool of eTreg cells.

Transcription factor Bach2 attenuates T cell receptor induced transcription to control regulatory T cell differentiation and homeostasis [ATAC-seq II]

Project description:The differentiation and homeostasis of Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells is strictly controlled by T cell receptor (TCR) signals; however, the molecular regulators of these processes are incompletely known. Here we found that Bach2 was a key regulator of Treg cell differentiation and homeostasis downstream of TCR signalling. Bach2 prevented premature differentiation of fully suppressive effector (e)Treg cells, limited IL-10 production and was required for the development of peripherally induced (p)Treg cells in the gastrointestinal tract. We found that Bach2 attenuated TCR signalling-induced and IRF4-dependent Treg cell differentiation programs. Deletion of IRF4 promoted inducible Treg cell differentiation and rescued pTreg cell differentiation in the absence of Bach2. In turn, loss of Bach2 normalised eTreg cell differentiation of IRF4-deficient Treg cells. Mechanistically, Bach2 counteracted DNA-binding activity of IRF4 and limited chromatin accessibility, thereby attenuating IRF4-dependent transcriptional programs. Thus, Bach2 balanced TCR signalling induced transcriptional activity of IRF4 to maintain Treg cell homeostasis.

The miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters regulate early B cell development by limiting IL-7 receptor expression

Project description:Pleiotropic functions of miRNAs as transcriptional repressors have been reported for multiple biological processes. One prominent miRNA family is the miR-15 family, which is a well-established tumor-suppressor in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The miR-15 family consists of three bicistronic clusters, miR-15a/16-1, miR-15b/16-2 and miR-497/195, all sharing the same seed sequence suggesting that loss one cluster can be functionally compensated by the remaining miR-15 family members. Thus, a combined deletion may be necessary to reveal its physiological function in vivo. A combined knockout of the most prominent miR-15 clusters, miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 in the hematopoietic system reveals a novel role of the miR-15 family in early B cell development highlighted by an increase of the pro-B cell compartment. Mechanistically, this effect is mediated by enhanced IL-7 receptor expression, which we identified as direct miR-15 target gene. Notably, elevated IL-7 receptor levels were sufficient to trigger increased activation of the STAT5 and PI3K/AKT pathways. Moreover, derepression of directly targeted cell cycle regulators such as Ccne1, Chek1 and Wee1 further facilitates G-to-S transition. Thus, by deregulating a target gene network of cell cycle and signaling mediators, loss of the miR-15 family establishes a pro-proliferative milieu manifesting in an enlarged pro-B cell pool.

PD-L1 – PD-1 interactions limit effector Treg cell populations at homeostasis and during infection

Project description:While much is known about the factors that promote diverse Treg cell responses, less is known about mechanisms that constrain Treg cells. Here we demonstrate phenotypic and transcriptional profiling at homeostasis, which reveals TCR activation promotes a population of Treg cells that display an effector phenotype (eTreg) enriched for production of suppressive proteins such as IL-10 and CTLA-4. However, these eTreg cells express the inhibitory receptor PD-1 and blockade of PD-L1 or loss of PD-1 results in increased eTreg cell activity associated with enhanced homeostatic proliferation and survival. Thus, eTreg cell expression of PD-1 acts as a sensor to rapidly tune the pool of eTreg cells at homeostasis.
