Eos maintains Treg homeostasis and plays a critical role in the function of recirculating thymic Tregs

ABSTRACT: Eos, a member of the Ikaros family of transcription factors, is expressed by T regulatory cells (Tregs) and has been postulated to play a role in Treg suppression and maintenance of Treg stability. We demonstrate that expression of Eos was limited to a subpopulation of thymus-derived, activated Tregs and is undetectable in resting or activated T conventional cells (Tconvs). Eos associates with Helios, Foxp3 and Hdac1 and binds directly to the CD25 locus at a site identical to the Foxp3 binding site resulting in enhancement of CD25 expression. Studies in heterozygous female mice demonstrate that Eos is critical for Treg survival and activation. Eos+ Tregs also represent the major population of recirculating thymic Tregs, in which Eos plays a critical role in regulating their migration and suppression of Treg precursors in the thymus by competing for IL-2 and depleting MHC II from thymic dendritic cells (DCs).

Transcription profiling of mouse naive CD4+CD25-CD62Lhi T cells and nTreg cells with Eos knock-down

Project description:Eos expression in Treg cells have been documented by several microarrays including ours. We hypothesized that Eos facilitates Foxp3- dependent gene repression in Regulatory T cells. In order to investigate the role of Eos in mediating the Foxp3-dependent gene silencing program, we utilized lentiviral shRNA knockdown of Eos in natural Tregs isolated from the periphery of Balb/C mice. A renilla luciferase (RL) gene specific shRNA lentivirus was used as a control for the transduction of cells. The transcriptional profile of naive T cells, natural Tregs, Eos knockdown Tregs, and control shRNA knockdown Tregs was compared using Agilent 4x 44K whole mouse genome array. The goal of this microarray is to document the global effect of the loss of Eos expression on the transcriptional profile of natrual Treg cells. Experiment Overall Design: Eos knock-down (si-Eos) was mediated by Lentivirus expressing GFP as a reporter of transduction and sorting marker. Renilla luciferase specific shRNA lentiviral transduction was carried out in parallel as a control. NaÃ¯ve (CD4+CD25-CD62Lhi) T cells and nTreg cells were freshly isolated from Balb/C mice.

An inherently bi-functional subset of Foxp3+ Treg/T-helper cells is controlled by the transcription factor Eos

Project description:At sites of inflammation, certain Foxp3+ Tregs have the ability to alter their phenotype and become pro-inflammatory helper/effector cells, without losing Foxp3 expression. We show that this functional reprogramming is controlled by the transcription factor Eos (Ikzf4), an obligate co-repressor for Foxp3. The ability to reprogram was restricted to a specific subset of Foxp3+ Tregs, arising as early as the thymus and identifiable by short half-life of Eos at rest, characteristic cell-surface markers (CD38+CD69+CD103NEG) and a distinct pattern of DNA methylation. Mice made selectively deficient in this subset of Eos-labile Tregs became markedly impaired in their ability to cross-present new antigens and prime CD8+ T cells. Downregulation of Eos and consequent Treg reprogramming was prevented by the immunoregulatory enzyme IDO, via activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Thus, the Foxp3+ lineage contains a committed subset of Tregs that are constitutively primed for conversion into biologically important helper cells. Cells from thymus or spleen were incubated for 1 hr with cycloheximide (CHX), then CD4+GFP+ Tregs were FACS-sorted into Eos-labile (CD38+CD103NEG) and Eos-stable (CD103+CD38NEG) subsets. Control CD4+GFPNEG (non Treg) cells were sorted from spleen. Genome-wide differential methylation analysis was performed using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS). The genomic DNA from each sample was digested with the methylation-insensitive restriction enzyme MspI (restriction site, CCGG) and ligated to Illumina sequencing adaptors containing methylated cytosine residues. The ligated MspI fragments were size-selected, treated with sodium bisulfite, and amplified by PCR. The PCR products were purified and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer with a read length of 100bp.

Gene profiling data of CD4+ T cells doubly transduced with EOS+LEF1 or GATA1+SATB1

Project description:The transcription factor FoxP3 partakes dominantly in the specification and function of FoxP3+ CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs), but is neither strictly necessary nor sufficient to determine the characteristic Treg transcriptional signature. Computational network inference and experimental testing assessed the contribution of several other transcription factors (TFs). Enforced expression of Helios or Xbp1 elicited specific signatures, but Eos, Irf4, Satb1, Lef1 and Gata1 elicited exactly the same outcome, synergizing with FoxP3 to activate most of the Treg signature, including key TFs, and enhancing FoxP3 occupancy at its genomic targets. Conversely, the Treg signature was robust to inactivation of any single cofactor. A redundant genetic switch thus locks-in the Treg phenotype, a model which accounts for several aspects of Treg physiology, differentiation and stability. To study the impact of the combination of two transcription factors on the expression of the Treg transcriptional signature, CD4+ Tconv cells activated with anti-CD3+CD28 beads were retrovirally transduced with cDNAs encoding EOS and LEF1, or GATA1 and SATB1. The cells were then sorted into Trizol, and RNA was purified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays.

Expression profiling of WT and p110delta D910A Treg

Project description:The PI3K pathway has emerged as a key regulator of regulatory T cell (Treg) development and homeostasis and is required for full Treg-mediated suppression. To identify new genes involved in PI3K-dependent suppression we compared the transcriptome of WT and p110delta D910A Tregs. Among the genes that were differentially expressed was CD38. Here we show that CD38 is expressed mainly by a subset of Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ T cells originating in the thymus and on Tregs in the spleen. CD38high WT Tregs showed superior suppressive activity and CD38low Tregs failed to upregulate CD73, a surface protein which is important for suppression. However, Tregs from heterozygous CD38+/- mice were unimpaired despite their lower levels of CD38 expression. Therefore, CD38 can be used as a marker for Tregs with high suppressive activity and the impaired Treg function in p110delta D910A mice can in part be explained by the failure of CD38high cells to develop.

Tracking regulatory T cell development in the thymus using scRNA-Seq/TCR-Seq

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that mature regulatory T cells ( Tregs) develop in the thymus via two pathways involving distinct Treg progenitors (TregP) - CD25+FOXP3- (CD25+ TregP) and CD25-FOXP3lo (FOXP3lo TregP) Treg progenitors. To examine this process in more detail we carried out single-cell RNA-Seq and TCR-Seq on sorted CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes, CD4+ Ssingle -positive (CD4SP)P thymocytes, CD25+ TregP, FOXP3lo TregP, mature CD25+FOXP3+ Tregs and recirculating/long-term resident Tregs (RT-Tregs). Sorted populations were individually hashtagged and then combined into one scRNA-Seq/TCR-Seq library before sequencing and subsequent analysis. We found that both CD25+ TregP and FOXP3lo TregP arise via an initial agonist activated state that gives rise to a second transitional stage before differentiating into mature Tregs. Using both scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq on sorted thymocyte subsets we demonstrate that CD25+Foxp3- TregP are significantly enriched for Il2 production, suggesting that they are the major source of IL-2 needed to convert TregP into mature Tregs. Using TCR-Seq we found that several TCRs were clearly biased in favor of the conventional or Treg lineages, but that a large fraction of TCRs were found in both these lineages. Finally, we found that recirculating/resident Tregs in the thymus are not monomorphic, but are composed of multiple distinct subsets and that these RT-Tregs express the most diverse TCR repertoire of all CD4SP thymcocytes. Thus, our studies define multiple stages of Treg differentiation within the thymus, and serve as a resource for future studies on CD4+ thymocyte development and Treg differentiation.
