Transcriptomic profiling of tumor-infiltrating and lymph node-derived Treg and B cells in Foxp3-Cre-YFP and Foxp3-Cre-YFP Appl2f/f melanoma-bearing Mice

ABSTRACT: Tregs are a critical target for developing anti-tumor immunotherapy, however, they are also critical for maintaining systemic immune tolerance and homeostasis. It remains a formidable challenge to specifically disable Tregs in the tumor microenvironment without compromising systemic immune tolerance. An ideal target is that barely expressed or dispensable in peripheral Tregs but significantly increased and critical for the immunosuppressive activity of tumor infiltrated Tregs (TIL-Tregs). In an attempt to search for specific targets that mediate TIL-Tregs fitness in the tumor microenvironment, we performed RNA-seq of TIL-Tregs and Tregs from the draining lymph nodes (dLN-Tregs) of mice bearing B16-F0 melanoma.

Transcriptional profiling of visceral adipose tissue from Foxp3.YFP-Cre Bmal1WT and Foxp3.YFP-Cre Bmal1KO mice after 16 weeks of high-fat diet

Project description:We profiled the transcriptome of visceral adipose tissue from Foxp3.YFP-Cre Bmal1WT or Foxp3.YFP-Cre bmal1flox mice after 16 weeks of high-fat diet. We found that adipose tissue with Bmal1-deficient Tregs showed an increased enrichment of inflammatory pathways and a loss of metabolic pathways after high-fat diet feeding.

Transcriptomic profiling of tumor-infiltrating Treg cells in Foxp3-Cre-YFP melanoma-bearing mice

Project description:Tregs restrain anti-tumor immunity and facilitate the evasion of tumor cells from immune surveillance, thus has long been considered as a promising target for anti-tumor therapy. Recent studies found that excessive type 1 immune responses (mainly mediated by IFN-γ and IL-12 et al.) in the tumor microenvironment drive Treg fragility that downregulates FOXP3 but upregulates IFN-γ, hereby compromises its suppressive function.The expression level of FOXP3 in Treg cells regulates its immunosuppressive function. Therefore, we sorted FOXP3-high and FOXP3-low Treg cells and strived to find their differentially expressed genes and their functional regulatory mechanisms.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of FOXP3-YFP-Cre and FOXP3-YFP-Cre/USP21-floxp/floxp Treg Cells Transcriptomes

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells harbor immune suppressive capacity and are crucial for the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Treg cells are considered to be heterogenic, where compromised FOXP3 expression results in the generation of exTreg cells. Here we report that the E3 deubiquitinase USP21 prevents the depletion of FOXP3 protein and restricts tissue-resident exTreg cell generation. Mice lacking USP21 in Treg cells display immune disorders characterized by spontaneous T cell activation and excessive T helper type 1 (Th1) skewing. USP21 stabilizes FOXP3 protein by mediating its deubiquitination and therefore helps to maintain the expression of Treg signature genes. Moreover, at inflamed loci, tissue-resident USP21-deficient Treg cells display a Th1-like effector phenotype. Therefore, we demonstrate how USP21 controls the identity of tissue-resident Treg cells by preventing FOXP3 loss.

Molecular profile of tumor-specific CD8+ T cell hypofunction in cancer

Project description:Comparison of genome-wide mRNA expresson between tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells from the tumor (hypofunctional T cells) and periphery (functional T cells) Mechanisms of self-tolerance often result in CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) with a hypofunctional phenotype incapable of tumor clearance. Using a solid tumor model in mice, we found that CD8+ T cells became tolerized in less than 24 hours in an established tumor environment. To define the collective impact of pathways suppressing TIL function, we compared genome-wide mRNA expression of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the tumor and periphery. Notably, gene expression induced during TIL hypofunction more closely resembled self-tolerance than viral-exhaustion. Differential gene expression was refined to identify a core set of genes that defined hypofunctional TIL; these data comprise the first âmolecular profileâ of tumor-specific TIL that are naturally responding and represent a polyclonal repertoire. The molecular profile of TIL was further dissected to determine the extent of overlap and distinction between pathways that collectively restrict T cell functions. As suggested by the molecular profile of TIL, protein expression of inhibitory receptor LAG-3 was differentially regulated throughout prolonged late-G1/early-S phase of the cell cycle. Our data may accelerate efficient identification of combination therapies to boost anti-tumor function of TIL specifically against tumor cells. 4 samples, 3 biological replicates per group.

IL-27 stimulation in Foxp3+ Tregs improves suppressive function and therapeutic efficacy

Project description:Foxp3 expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the central regulator of immune homeostasis and tolerance. As it is believed that proper Treg function is compromised under inflammatory conditions, exploring a pathway that enhances Treg function is of great importance. In this study, we report that IL-27, an IL-12 family cytokine known to play both pro- and anti-inflammatory role in T cells, plays a pivotal role in Treg function to control T cell-induced colitis. Unlike WT Tregs capable of inhibiting colitogenic T cell expansion and inflammatory cytokine expression, IL-27R-deficient Tregs were unable to downregulate inflammatory T cell responses. Tregs stimulated with IL-27 expressed substantially enhanced suppressive function both in vitro and in vivo. IL-27 stimulation of Tregs induced expression of LAG3, a surface molecule implicated in negatively regulating immune responses. LAG3 expression in IL-27-stimulated Tregs was critical to mediate suppressive Treg function. Finally, human Tregs also displayed enhanced suppressive function and LAG3 expression in response to IL-27 stimulation. Taken together, our results highlight a novel function of the IL-27/LAG3 axis in Treg regulation of inflammatory responses in the intestine. FACS purified Foxp3+ Tregs were stimulated in the presence of media or IL-27 to compare IL-27 induced gene profiles. Four samples (media stimulated or IL-27-stimulated) were collected from four independent experiments. Genes altered by IL-27 treatment were compared to those of media stimulated Tregs.

Intragraft memory-like CD127hiCD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells maintain transplant tolerance

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in suppressing transplant rejection but their role within the graft, is poorly understood. To address this, we compared phenotypic and transcriptomic characteristics of Treg populations within lymphoid-organs and grafts in an islet xenotransplant model of tolerance induced by co-stimulation blockade. In this study, Tregs were essential for tolerance induction and their numbers increased over time. Tregs demonstrated phenotypic and transcriptional heterogeneity within the graft, and lymphoid organs of tolerant mice. A sub-population of CD127highTreg with memory-like and suppressive features were present in high proportions within long surviving islet-grafts of tolerant mice and had a transcriptomic profile consistent with tissue-Tregs. Importantly these CD127highTregs were better able to prevent rejection by effector T cells, after adoptive transfer into secondary Rag-/- hosts, than naïve Tregs, or unselected Tregs isolated from tolerant mice. We propose that after initial development within the draining lymph node they undergo further genetic reprogramming within the graft towards a phenotype that has shared characteristics with other tissue or tumour Tregs. These findings provide a new focus for engineering such cells either in vivo or for adoptive transfer for inducing tolerance.

Human peripheral and tissue Foxp3-high regulatory T cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [CITE-seq]

Project description:CD4⁺ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are pivotal in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, but systemic depletion risks autoimmunity. Using single-cell CITE-seq on tumor, non-tumor, and peripheral blood samples, we identified a peripheral Foxp3^high Treg subset that preferentially migrates to tumors via the CCR5–CCL5 axis, where they acquire a terminally differentiated, activated phenotype with elevated LAYN and TRM signatures, and further enhance Foxp3 expression and immunosuppressive activity in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines. The proportion of Foxp3^high Tregs in peripheral blood strongly correlated with their tumor infiltration, and a >3.5% Foxp3^high Tregs/CD4⁺ T cells ratio predicted poor survival and early recurrence (AUROC >0.75). These findings establish peripheral Foxp3^high Tregs as both key mediators of immunosuppression and a promising non-invasive biomarker for HCC prognosis.

Foxp3+ regulatory T cells control hypothalamic inflammation

Project description:The central nervous system (CNS) hypothalamus controls systemic metabolism. Inflammatory CNS processes evolving upon exposure to calorie-rich diet are thought to promote impaired metabolic CNS control, thereby triggering obesity and Type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, immune cells relevant for maintaining hypothalamic integrity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify hypothalamic CD4+Foxp3+regulatory T(Treg) cells which control local tissue-inflammation. Specifically, upon exposure to a calorie-rich diet, a significant decline in hypothalamus-residing Foxp3+Tregs occurred and was accompanied by increased immune activation of CD4+T cells, infiltrating macrophages and microglia. Microglial proteomes of mice exposed to the hypercaloric challenge confirmed characteristics of immune activation; specifically, mRNA expression profiling of hypothalamic CD4+T cells indicated a Th1-mediated inflammatory state evidenced by high levels of Tbx21, Cxcr3, Cd226 and reduced expression of Ccr7 and S1P1 receptors relevant for recruitment to and retention at inflammatory sites. Using Treg depletion and transfer experiments in vivo, we found that Foxp3+Tregs critically limit hypothalamic immune activation induced by hyper-caloric challenge. Our findings open new avenues in the design of tailored concepts to improve immunometabolic health in obesity and T2D.

PD-1 through asparaginyl endopeptidase regulates FoxP3 Stability in Induced Regulatory T cells

Project description:CD4+ T cell differentiation into multiple T helper lineages is critical for optimal adaptive immune responses. This report identified a novel intrinsic mechanism by which PD-1 signaling imparted regulatory phenotype to FoxP3+ Th1 cells (denoted as Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells) and iTregs. Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells were capable of preventing inflammation in murine models of experimental colitis and experimental graft versus host disease. PDL-1 binding to PD-1 imparted regulatory function to Tbet+iTregPDL1 cells and iTregs by specifically downregulating an endolysosomal protease asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) AEP regulated FoxP3 stability and blocking AEP imparted regulatory function in Tbet+iTregs cells. Also AEP-/- iTregs significantly inhibited GvHD and maintained FoxP3. Furthermore, PD-1 mediated FoxP3 maintenance in Tbet+Th1 cells occurred both in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and during chronic viral infection. Collectively, this report has identified a novel intrinsic function for PD-1 in converting Th1 cells into Tregs through an intrinsic proteolytic pathway
