Sustained store-operated calcium entry utilizing activated chromatin state leads to instability in iTregs

ABSTRACT: Thymus-originated tTregs and in vitro induced iTregs are subsets of regulatory T cells. While they share the capacity of immune suppression, their stabilities are different, with iTregs losing their phenotype upon stimulation or under inflammatory milieu. Epigenetic differences, particularly methylation state of Foxp3 CNS2 region, provide an explanation for this shift. Whether additional regulations, including cellular signaling, could directly lead phenotypical instability requires further analysis. Here we show that upon TCR triggering, store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and NFAT nuclear translocation are blunted in tTregs, yet fully operational in iTregs, similar to Tconvs. On the other hand, tTregs show minimal changes in their chromatin accessibility upon activation, in contrast to iTregs that demonstrate an activated chromatin state with highly accessible T cell activation and inflammation related genes. Assisted by several cofactors, NFAT driven by strong SOCE signaling in iTregs preferentially binds to primed opened T helper (TH) genes, resulting in their activation normally observed only in Tconv activation, ultimately leads to instability. Conversely, suppression of SOCE in iTregs can partially rescue their phenotype. Thus our study adds two new layer, cellular signaling and chromatin accessibility, of understanding in Treg stability, and may provide a path for better clinical applications of Treg cell therapy.

Store-operated Ca2+ entry in follicular T cells controls humoral immune responses and autoimmunity

Project description:T follicular helper (TFH) cells promote affinity maturation of B cells in germinal centers (GCs), whereas T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells limit GC reaction. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels mediated by STIM and ORAI proteins is a fundamental signaling pathway in T lymphocytes. Here we show that SOCE is required for the differentiation and function of both TFH and TFR cells. Conditional deletion of Stim1 and Stim2 genes in T cells or Treg cells results in spontaneous autoantibody production and humoral autoimmunity. Conversely, antibody-mediated immune responses following viral infection critically depend on SOCE in TFH cells. Mechanistically, STIM1 and STIM2 control early TFR and TFH cell differentiation through NFAT-mediated IRF4, BATF and Bcl-6 expression. SOCE plays a dual role in GC response by controlling TFH and TFR cell function, thus enabling protective B cell responses and preventing humoral autoimmunity. RNAseq analyses of WT and Stim1Stim2 DKO follicular T cells and non-follicular T cells; 4-6 mice per cohort in duplicates. Mice were infected for 10 days with LCMV.

A longer isoform of Stim1 is a negative SOCE regulator but increases cAMP modulated NFAT signaling

Project description:Alternative splicing is a potent modifier of protein function. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (Stim1) is the essential activator of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) triggering activation of transcription factors. Here, we characterize Stim1A, a splice variant with an additional 31 amino acid domain inserted in frame within its cytosolic domain. Prominent expression of exon A is found in astrocytes, heart, kidney and testes. Full length Stim1A functions as a dominant-negative regulator of SOCE and ICRAC, facilitating sequence specific fast calcium dependent inactivation and destabilizing gating or Orai1. Downregulation or absence of native Stim1A results in increased SOCE. Despite reducing SOCE, Stim1A leads to increased NFAT translocation. Differential proteomics revealed interference of Stim1A with the cAMP-SOCE crosstalk by altered modulation of phosphodiesterase (PDE8B), resulting in reduced cAMP degradation and increased PIP5K activity, facilitating an increased NFAT activation. Our study uncovers a hitherto unknown mechanism regulating NFAT activation and indicates that cell type specific splicing of Stim1 is a potent means to regulate the NFAT signalosome and cAMP-SOCE crosstalk.

Gene expression analysis of iTregs and nTregs

Project description:MBP TCR Tg mouse (1B3) generates only iTregs when crossed onto RAGKO background. Tregs from 1B3.RAG mouse were used for gene expression analsysis to determine genes selectively expressed in peripherally generated iTregs iTregs from 1B3.RAG mice (>90% Foxp3+) were run against total Tregs from 1B3 and WT NOD mice. Foxp3- CD4+T cells were used as control from all strains as Tconv. (1B3 denotes MBP-TCR Tg mouse).

Study of PRMT5 mediated H3R2me2s in Th1-like iTregs

Project description:In this study, we have studied the genes associated with PRMT5 mediated histone methylation (H2R2me2s) in Th1-like iTregs. This particular epigenetic markers is upregulated in Th1 cells, and Th1-like iTregs. Therefore, we wanted to identify the genes H3R2me2s is regulating in Th1-like iTregs as compared to iTregs or Th1 cells. The goal of this sequencing was to identify if H2R2me2s is important for increased suppressive capacity of Th1-like iTregs or not.

Expression data from developing regulatory T cells

Project description:CD25+ regulatory T cells develop in the thymus (nTregs), but may also be generated in the periphery upon stimulation of naive CD4 T cells under appropriate conditions (iTregs). The mechanisms that regulate the generation of peripheral iTregs are largely unknown. We used microarrays to gain insights into the molecular program of extrathymic Treg development Human iTregs were generated in vitro from CD4CD25- naive T cells in the presence of autologous feeder cells and interleukin (IL)-4. Total RNA was isolated at start and from purified CD25+ and CD25- T cells at days 3, 5, 7, and 10 of culture and used for DNA microarrays. CD25+ T cells generated in the absence of IL-4 constituted activated effector T cells (Teffs) lacking regulatory capacity and were therefore used to control for Treg-specific gene expression.

Differential regulation of membrane potential during store-operated calcium entry in neutrophil subsets

Project description:Calcium signals are initiated in immune cells by the process of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), where receptor activation triggers transient calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by opening of plasma membrane calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channels. ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3 are known to comprise the CRAC channel, however the contributions of individual isoforms to neutrophil function is not well understood. Here we show that loss of ORAI1 partially decreases calcium influx while loss of both ORAI1 and ORAI2 completely abolishes store-operated calcium entry. In other immune cell types, loss of ORAI2 enhances SOCE. In contrast, we find that ORAI2-deficient neutrophils display decreased calcium influx, which is correlated with measurable differences in regulation of neutrophil membrane potential via KCa3.1. Decreased SOCE in ORAI1-, ORAI2- and ORAI1/2-deficient neutrophils impairs multiple neutrophil functions including phagocytosis, degranulation, leukotriene and ROS production, rendering ORAI1/2-deficient mice highly susceptible to staphylococcal infection. This study demonstrates that ORAI1 and ORAI2 are the primary components of the neutrophil CRAC channel and identifies novel subpopulations of neutrophils where cell membrane potential functions as a rheostat to modulate the SOCE response. These findings have implications for new mechanisms that modulate neutrophil function during infection, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, and cancer.
