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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Inhibition of p300 impairs Foxp3+ T-regulatory cell function and promotes anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells maintain immune homeostasis and limit autoimmunity, but can also curtail host responses to cancers. Tregs are therefore promising targets to enhance anti-tumor immunity. Histone/protein acetyltransferases (HATs) promote chromatin accessibility, gene transcription and the function of multiple transcription factors and non-histone proteins. We found that conditional deletion or pharmacologic inhibition of one specific HAT, p300, in Foxp3+ Tregs, increased TCR-induced apoptosis in Tregs, impaired Treg suppressive function and iTreg peripheral conversion, and limited tumor growth in immunocompetent, but not in immunodeficient, hosts. Our data demonstrate that p300 is important for Foxp3+ Treg function and homeostasis in vivo and in vitro, and identify a novel mechanism to diminish Treg function without overtly impairing effector Tcell responses or inducing autoimmunity. Collectively, these data suggest a new approach for cancer immunotherapy.

Critical Requirement of the DNA Methyltransferase, Dnmt1, for the Development and Function of Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells

Project description:We investigated the role of DNMT1 in immune homeostasis by generating mice lacking DNMT1 in Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells. These mice showed decreased peripheral Foxp3+ Tregs, complete loss of Foxp3+ Treg suppressive functions in vitro and in vivo, and died from autoimmunity by 3-4 weeks unless they received perinatal transfer of wild-type Tregs that prolonged their survival. Methylation of CpG-sites in the TSDR region of Foxp3 was unaffected by DNMT1 deletion, but microarray revealed more >500 proinflammatory and other genes were upregulated in DNMT1-/- Tregs. CD4-Cre-mediated DNMT1 deletion showed inability of conventional T cells to convert to Foxp3+ Treg under appropriate polarizing conditions. Hence, DNMT1 is absolutely necessary for maintenance of the gene program required for normal Treg development and function.

Microarray analysis of FoxP3-expressing or non-expressing subsets of human CD4+ T cells

Project description:Gene expression profiles of subsets of CD4+ T cells according to their expression of FoxP3 and CD45RA were compared. Abstract: FoxP3 is a key transcription factor for the development and function of natural CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here we show that human FoxP3+CD4+ T cells are composed of three phenotypically and functionally distinct subpopulations: CD45RA+FoxP3low resting Tregs (rTregs) and CD45RA-FoxP3high activated Tregs (aTregs), both of which are suppressive in vitro, and cytokine-secreting CD45RA-FoxP3low non-suppressive T cells. The proportion of the three subpopulations characteristically altered in cord blood, aged individuals, and patients with immunological diseases. Terminally differentiated aTregs rapidly die while rTregs proliferate and convert into aTregs in vitro and in vivo as shown by the transfer of rTregs into NOD-scid-common gamma-chain-knockout mice and by TCR sequence-based T cell clonotype tracing in peripheral blood of normal individuals. Taken together, the dissection of FoxP3+ cells into subsets enables one to analyze Treg differentiation dynamics and interactions in normal and disease states, and to control immune responses through manipulating particular FoxP3+ subpopulations. RNA was extracted from freshly obtained peripheral blood lymphocytes from a healthy donor that were separated according to their expression of CD25, CD127 and CD45RA after surface staining.

Circulating Regulatory Lymphocytes and Outcome of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients

Project description:Aim of the present study is to investigate whether baseline or early post-treatment (one month after treatment commencement) frequency of peripheral T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs OR CD4+/CD25high/FOXP3+ T cells), known to suppress antitumor immune response, may influence long-term clinical outcome (i.e. radiological response, progression-free survival or overall survival) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with a standard first-line chemotherapy including fluorouracil, irinotecan and bevacizumab

Gene expression profiling of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells in the course of Plasmodium yoelii infection of BALB/c mice

Project description:The objective of the present study was to characterize the phenotype of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the course of parasitic Plasmodium yoelii (P .yoelii) infection of BALB/c mice. Therefore we performed microarray expression analysis of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs isolated by FACS from spleens of non-infected mice and from spleens of mice infected with P. yoelii 3 days and 5 days post infection. By comparing the gene expression profiles, we were able to identify molecules which were differentially expressed by Tregs during parasitic infection and thereby might be involved in their immune-suppressive function. Moreover, we included CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells from spleens of non-infected and P. yoelii-infected mice in our analysis. It was proposed that immune-suppressive CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells might be induced during Plasmodium infection of mice. Thus, detailed gene expression data of these cells in comparison to CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs would contribute a better understanding in the phenotype. FACS sorted CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs and CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells from pooled spleens of non-infected Foxp3/ eGFP mice (served as reference) and from pooled spleens of P. yoelii infected Foxp3/ eGFP mice 3 days and 5 days post infection were analyzed as single probes.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Specialized Wiring of Signaling Pathways that Protects Human Regulatory T Cell Identity - 6 populations ex vivo

Project description:Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) are functionally distinct from conventional CD4+ T cells (Tconvs). To understand Treg identity, we compared by proteomics and transcriptomics human naïve (n) and effector (e)Tregs, Tconvs and transitional FOXP3+ cells. Only 12% of 422 differentially expressed proteins was identified as such at the mRNA level, demonstrating the importance of direct proteome measurement. Fifty-one proteins discriminated Tregs from Tconvs. This common Treg protein signature indicates altered signaling by TCR-, TNF receptor-, NFB-, PI3 kinase/mTOR-, NFAT- and STAT pathways, and unique cell biological and metabolic features. Another protein signature uniquely identified eTregs and revealed active cell division, apoptosis sensitivity and suppression of NFB- and STAT signaling. eTreg fate appears consolidated by FOXP3 outnumbering its partner transcription factors. These features explain why eTregs cannot produce inflammatory cytokines, whereas transitional FOXP3+ cells can. Collectively, our data reveal that Treg identity is defined and protected by uniquely “wired” signaling pathways. Associated GEO dataset is available at GSE90600.

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.

Regulatory T cells from colonic lamina propria [array]

Project description:The colonic lamina propria contains a distinct population of Foxp3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) that modulate responses to commensal microbes. Analysis of gene expression revealed that the transcriptome of colonic Tregs is distinct from splenic and other tissue Tregs. Rorγ and Helios in colonic Tregs mark distinct populations: Rorγ+Helios- or Rorγ-Helios+ Tregs. We uncovered an unanticipated role for Rorγ, a transcription factor generally considered to be antagonistic to Foxp3. Rorγ in colonic Tregs accounts for a small but specific part of the colon-specific Treg signature. (1) Total colonic and splenic Foxp3+ Treg comparison: Lymphocytes were isolated from colonic lamina propria and spleens of Foxp3-ires-GFP mice, where GFP reports Foxp3 expression. TCRb+CD4+GFP+ cells were double sorted into Trizol. (2) Colonic Rorγ+ and Rorγ- Treg comparison: Foxp3-ires-Thy1.1 reporter mice were crossed to Rorc-GFP reporter mice to generate mice that report both Foxp3 and Rorγ expression. Rorγ+Foxp3+ Tregs (TCRb+CD4+Thy1.1+GFP+) and Rorγ-Foxp3+ Tregs (TCRb+CD4+Thy1.1+GFP-) from colonic lamina propria were double sorted into Trizol.To reduce variability and increase cell number, cells from multiple mice were pooled for sorting and at least three replicates were generated for all groups. RNA from 1.5-3.0 x104 cells was amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.
