Eomes regulates mitochondrial function and promotes survival of pathogenic CD4+ T cells during chronic inflammation [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The tissue accumulation of T cells expressing the transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes) has been reported in several chronic inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis. However, the mechanisms whereby Eomes controls this accumulation and strengthens inflammation remains ill-defined. Here, we show that Eomes deletion in antigen-specific CD4+ T cells is sufficient to protect against central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. We demonstrate that Eomes is dispensable for the initial priming of CD4+ T cells but is required for long-term maintenance of CNS-infiltrating CD4+ T cells. Our transcriptomic studies reveal that the impact Eomes on effector CD4+ T cell longevity is associated with sustained expression of multiple genes involved in mitochondrial organization and function. Accordingly, epigenetic studies demonstrate that Eomes supports mitochondrial function by direct binding to either metabolism-associated genes or mitochondrial transcriptional modulators. Besides, the significance of these findings was confirmed in both healthy donors and multiple sclerosis patients. CD4+ T cells expressing Eomes exhibit enhanced mitochondrial functions, which resulted in their increased capacity to survive upon prolonged in vitro stimulation. Together, our data reveal a new mechanism by which Eomes promotes severity and chronicity of inflammation via the enhancement of CD4+ T cell mitochondrial functions and resistance to stress-induced cell death.

Quantitative proteome profiling of CNS-infiltrating autoreactive CD4+ cells reveals selective changes during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Project description:Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a murine model of multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurodegenerative and inflammatory autoimmune condition of the central nervous system (CNS). Pathology is driven by the infiltration of autoreactive CD4+ lymphocytes into the CNS where they attack neuronal sheaths causing ascending paralysis. We used an isotope-coded protein labelling approach to investigate the proteome of CD4+ cells isolated from the spinal cord and brain of mice at various stages of EAE progression in two EAE disease models; PLP139-151-induced relapsing-remitting EAE and MOG35-55-induced chronic EAE, which emulate the two forms of human multiple sclerosis. A total of 1120 proteins were quantified across disease onset, peak-disease and remission phases of disease and of these, 13 up-regulated proteins of interest were identified with functions relating to the regulation of inflammation, leukocyte adhesion and migration, tissue repair and the regulation of transcription/translation. Proteins implicated in processes such as inflammation (S100A4 and S100A9) and tissue repair (Annexin A1), which represent key events during EAE progression were validated by quantitative PCR. This is the first targeted analysis of autoreactive cells purified from the CNS during EAE, highlighting fundamental CD4+ cell-driven processes that occur during the initiation of relapse and remission stages of disease.

Neural precursor cell-secreted TGF-β2 subverts the inflammatory program of invading monocyte-derived dendritic cells during CNS autoimmunity

Project description:In Multiple Sclerosis, the pathological interaction of autoreactive helper T (TH) cells with mononuclear phagocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) drives initiation and maintenance of chronic neuroinflammation. Herein, we found that intrathecal transplantation of neural stem cells (NPCs) in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) impairs the accumulation of inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) in the CNS leading to improved clinical outcome. NPCs treatment reduced in the CNS IL-23, IL-1 and TNF-α, cytokines required for terminal differentiation of TH cells and accordingly GM-CSF-producing pathogenic TH cells. In vivo and in vitro transcriptome analyses disclosed that NPC secreted factors induce an inhibition of DC differentiation and maturation, favoring a fate switch towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. We identified TGF-β2 as the crucial mediator of NPC immunomodulation: TGFβ2 knockout NPCs transplanted in EAE are ineffective in impairing moDC accumulation within the CNS and fail to drive clinical improvement. This study provides evidence that intrathecally injected NPCs interfere with CNS-compartmentalized inflammation of the effector phase of EAE, reprogramming, through the secretion of TGF-β2, inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs towards anti-inflammatory myeloid cells.

Eomes is sufficient to regulate IL-10 expression and cytotoxic effector molecules in murine CD4+ T cells

Project description:The T-box transcription factors T-bet and Eomesodermin regulate type 1 immune responses in innate and adaptive lymphocytes. T-bet is widely expressed in the immune system but was initially identified as the lineage-specifying transcription factor of Th1 CD4+ T cells, where it governs expression of the signature cytokine IFN-g and represses alternative cell fates like Th2 and Th17. T-bet’s paralog Eomes is less abundantly expressed and Eomes+ CD4+ T cells can mostly be found in the context of persistent antigen exposure, like bone marrow transplantation, chronic infection or inflammation as well as malignant disorders. However, it has remained unresolved whether Eomes executes similar transcriptional activities as T-bet in CD4+ T cells. Here we show in a novel genetic model that the expression of Eomes in CD4+ T cells drives a distinct transcriptional program that shows only partial overlap with T-bet. We found that Eomes was sufficient to induce the expression of the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10 and, together with T-bet, promoted a cytotoxic effector profile, including Prf1, Gzmb, Gzmk, Nkg7 and Ccl5, while repressing alternative cell fates. Our results demonstrate that Eomes+ CD4+ T cells, which are often found in the context of chronic antigen stimulation, are likely to be a unique CD4+ T cell subset with the potential to limit inflammation and immunopathology as well as to eliminate antigen-presenting and malignant cells.

Gene expression profiling of CD4+myelin basic protein specific T cells

Project description:CNS autoimmunity is induced by autoreactive T cells reactive against CNS antigen. However how these T cells become able to transgress the blood brain barrier is not CNS autoimmunity is induced by autoreactive T cells reactive against CNS antigen. Here a gene expression profile of the pathogenic T cells in different functional states was performed. These studies were performed in a classical model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in Lewis rats induced by transfer of CD4+myelin basic protein specific T cells. We found that on their way to the CNS T cells fundamentally reprogram their gene expression profile, by down-regulating their activation program and up-regulating cell locomotion molecules. Total RNA extracted from ex vitro myelin specific T cells (blasts and resting state, day 2 and 7 after antigen challenge respectively) or isolated from the spleen (3 days p.t.) was used to perform a genome-wide transcriptional profiling assay (Rat Genome 230, Affymetrix)-

Quercetin suppresses immune cell accumulation and improves mitochondrial gene expression in epididymal adipose tissue of diet-induced obese mice

Project description:We examined the effect of quercetin on the gene expression and function of epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) in Western diet-induced obese mice. Quercetin suppressed the increase in the number of macrophages and the decrease in the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells in EAT, and the elevation of plasma leptin and TNFÎ± levels in mice fed the Western diet. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed that quercetin suppressed gene expression associated with the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes in EAT. It also improved the expression of the oxidative stress-sensitive transcription factor NFÎºB, NADPH oxidases, and antioxidant enzymes. Quercetin markedly increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial DNA Quercetin most likely universally suppresses the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including anti-inflammatory cells, whereas it specifically increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Suppression of oxidative stress and NFÎºB activity likely contributed to the prevention of the accumulation and activation of immune cells and resulting chronic inflammation. Quercetin most likely universally suppresses the accumulation and activation of immune cells, including anti-inflammatory cells, whereas it specifically increased gene expression associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Suppression of oxidative stress and NFÎºB activity likely contributed to the prevention of the accumulation and activation of immune cells and resulting chronic inflammation. C57BL/6J mice were fed a control diet; a Western diet high in fat, cholesterol, and sucrose; or the same Western diet containing 0.05% quercetin for 18 weeks.
