Single-cell RNAseq analysis of colonic Tregs: native or pTregs driven by different TCRs reactive to food, microbe or self antigens

ABSTRACT: Antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the gut are essential for maintaining immune tolerance, yet the contributions of different antigen sources and TCR identities to peripheral Treg (pTreg) differentiation remain poorly understood. In this study, we replaced endogenous TCRs in CD4⁺ Tconv cells (CD45.2⁺) with defined TCRs using an AAV-based system. Tconv cells expressing TCRs reactive to food (TF2.2, TF2.7, TF2.6), E. coli Nissle (TM3.5, TM2.3, TM1.2), or self antigens (TS2.3, TS2.1) were transferred into CD45.1⁺ hosts carrying the corresponding antigens. Ten days post-transfer, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on donor-derived pTreg cells sorted from pooled mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs), based on Foxp3-GFP expression. In parallel, we profiled TCR-edited transferred cells that did not convert to Foxp3⁺. As negative controls, we included non-edited and TCR-negative donor cells that had undergone the same in vitro culture and transfer process but did not receive differentiation-inducing signals. For comparison with endogenous T cell populations, we also included host-derived CD25hi Tregs as well as GFP⁺ and GFP⁻ cells from age-matched Foxp3-GFP mice.

Immune Gene Expression Profile of Conventional and Regulatory T cells

Project description:Understanding human regulatory T cells (Tregs) heterogeneity may identify markers of disease pathogenesis and facilitate the development of optimized cellular therapeutics. To better elucidate human Treg subsets, we conducted direct transcriptional profiling of CD4+FOXP3+Helios+ thymic-derived Treg (tTreg) and CD4+FOXP3+Helios- peripherally-induced Treg (pTreg), followed by comparison to CD4+FOXP3-Helios- T conventional (Tconv) cells. This analysis revealed that the coinhibitory receptor T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) was highly expressed on tTreg. In this study CD4 T cells were stained for the Treg-associated transcription factors FOXP3 and Helios, and subsequently FACS sorted to yield three populations: tTreg (CD4+FOXP3+Helios+), pTreg (CD4+FOXP3+Helios–) and the reference population Tconv (CD4+FOXP3–Helios–). A direct transcriptional profile was obtained from the recovered RNA from the populations defined as tTreg, pTreg, and Tconv.

Comparison of expression profiles of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells

Project description:Analysis of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells. Results indicate regulatory T cell (Treg) ontogenesis requires two independent processes, expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 and establishment of Treg epigenetic programs induced by T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. GFP+CD4+ and GFP-CD4+ splenocytes were sorted from DEREG and DEREG/Scurfy mice. These cells were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies, and then transduced with Foxp3-expressing retrovirus (pGCSamIN, NGFR marker). NGFR+ T cells sorted were subjected to microarray analysis (Affymetrix, mouse genome 430 2.0 array). To normalize the experimental conditions, Tregs (GFP+ T cells from DEREG) and Tconv (GFP- T cells from DEREG) were also activated and transduced with empty vector. Two replicates each.

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).

Helios expression defines two distinct populations of Foxp3+ Treg cells

Project description:The transcription factor Helios is expressed in a large subset of Foxp3+ Tregs of both mouse and man. We previously demonstrated that Treg induced in peripheral sites (pTreg) from Foxp3- T conventional (Tconv) cells were Helios- and proposed that Helios is a marker of thymic derived Treg (tTreg). To compare the two Treg subpopulations, we generated Helios-GFP reporter mice and crossed them to Foxp3-RFP reporter mice. The Helios+ Treg population expressed a more activated phenotype and had a higher suppressive capacity in vitro. Both populations expressed a highly demethylated TSDR and both subsets were equivalent in their ability to suppress inflammatory bowel disease in vivo. However, Helios+ Treg more effectively inhibited the proliferation of activated, autoreactive splenocytes from scurfy mice. When Helios+ and Helios- Treg were transferred to lymphoreplete mice, both populations maintained comparable Foxp3 expression, but Foxp3 expression was less stable in Helios- Treg when transferred to lymphopenic mice. Gene expression profiling of the two populations demonstrated a large number of differentially expressed genes and that Helios- Treg subpopulation expressed certain genes normally expressed in CD4+Foxp3- T cells. TCR repertoire analysis indicated very little overlap between Helios+ and Helios- Treg. Thus, Helios+ and Helios- Treg subpopulations are phenotypically and functionally distinct, consistent with thymic and peripheral sites of origin, respectively. Because of their superior suppressive activity and enhanced stability Foxp3+Helios+ Treg represent the optimal Treg population for cellular immunotherapy.

Tconv and Treg gene expression and repertoire analysis of ZAC mice

Project description:Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are believed to be caused, in part, by a defect in the selection of T cells. Developing T cells undergo a process known as “negative selection” where self-derived proteins are presented to the cells; those that react to the self-peptides are either eliminated, or develop into regulatory T cells (Tregs), which suppress immune responses by conventional T cells (Tconvs). In order to study self-reactive T cell receptors (TCRs), and their likely target antigens, we performed single cell repertoire analysis in ZAC mice with impaired TCR signaling. We sequenced TCR and transcriptomes of Treg and Tconv single cells from arthritic ZAC mice spleen (n=2). We discovered a cluster of pro-inflammatory Th17 Tconv cells in ZAC spleens that was absent in WT mice. ZAC Th17 TCRs showed clonal expansion. Different mice had different TCR sequences, which is expected.

FOXP3 Expression Depends on Cell-Type Specific Cis-Regulatory Element and Transcription Factor Circuitry [CRISPRKO]

Project description:FOXP3 is a lineage-defining transcription factor (TF) for immune-suppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). While mice exclusively express FOXP3 in Tregs, humans also transiently express FOXP3 in stimulated conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). Mechanisms governing these distinct expression patterns remain unknown. Here, we performed CRISPR screens tiling the FOXP3 locus and targeting TFs in human Tregs and Tconvs to discover cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and trans-regulators of FOXP3. Tconv FOXP3 expression depended on a subset of Treg CREs and Tconv-selective positive (TcNS+) and negative (TcNS-) CREs. Combinatorial silencing of Tconv CREs revealed their epistatic logic. The CREs are occupied and regulated by TFs we identified as critical regulators of FOXP3. Finally, mutagenesis of murine TcNS- revealed that it is critical for restriction of FOXP3 expression to Tregs. We discover CRE and TF circuitry controlling FOXP3 expression and reveal evolution of mechanisms regulating a gene indispensable to immune homeostasis.
