Relation between T CD4+: Regulatory cells and IL-2 producing cells

ABSTRACT: We previously proposed that lymphocyte homeostasis is achieved by a quorum-sensing like mechanism, based on the paracrine sensing of IL-2 by Foxp3(+) regulatory T CD4(+) cells. In turn, these cells will suppress IL-2 producing cells, thereby controlling the total number of T CD4(+) cells. As CD4(+) T regulatory cells are unable to produce IL-2, such control mechanism assumes the complete segregation of both lymphocyte subsets, that is to say they constitute distinct compartments. In the present study, we re-evaluate the above-described quorum-sensing mechanism by considering the non-exclusive possibility that a fraction of IL-2-producing cells might acquire regulatory function, implying the existence of a role for an autocrine sensing of IL-2 in the homeostasis of the regulatory compartment. According to the mouse models used in these experiments, RFP is used as a reporter for the Foxp3 expression. The transcription factor Foxp3 is the main hallmark of T CD4(+) regulatory cells. Therefore RFP(+) cells are associated to T CD4(+) regulatory cells. According to the mouse model, and our last publication (PMID: 24249704), the GFP is a reporter for cells that having activated the IL-2 locus within the last 2-3 weeks. This subset of cells is called IL-2p cells.

Quorum sensing in CD4+ T cells homeostasis : IL-2 coordinates the interplay between IL-2p and regulatory T cells.

Project description:Many species of bacteria use quorum sensing to sense the amounts of secreted metabolites and adapt their growth according to their population density. We asked whether similar mechanisms would operate in lymphocyte homeostasis. We investigated the regulation of the size of Interleukin-2-producing CD4+ T-cell (IL-2p) pool using different IL-2-reporter mice. We found that in the absence of either IL-2 or regulatory CD4+ T-cells (Treg) the number of IL-2p-cells increases. Administration of IL-2 decreases the number of cells of the IL-2p-cell subset and pertinently, abrogates their ability to produce IL-2 upon in vivo cognate stimulation, while increasing Treg-cell numbers. We propose that control of the IL-2p-cell numbers occurs via a quorum-sensing-like feedback loop where the produced IL-2 is sensed by both the activated CD4+ T-cell pool and by Treg-cells, which reciprocally regulate cells of the IL-2p-cell subset. In conclusion, IL-2 acts as a self-regulatory circuit integrating the homeostasis of activated and regulatory T cells as CD4+ T-cells restrain their growth by monitoring IL-2 levels thereby preventing uncontrolled responses and autoimmunity. 2 populations of conventional CD4+ T cell are analysed. 5 replicates for each. GFP- is the control one.

Expression data of human tonsilar CD4 positive T cell subsets

Project description:Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are one of the regulatory T cell subsets that are characterized by the production of high amount of IL-10 and lack of FOXP3 expression. Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) is a CD4 homologue molecule and we have previously reported that LAG3 is expressed on IL-10 producing regulatory T cells. However, naturally occurring Tr1 cells in human secondary lymphoid tissue have not been detected. We identified CD4+CD25-LAG3+ T cells in human tonsil. We compared mRNA expression of five CD4+ T cell subsets in tonsil using microarray analysis (CD4+CD25-LAG3+ T cells, CD4+CD25-CXCR5+PD-1+ follicular helper T cells (TFH), CD4+CD25+ T cells, CD4+CD25-LAG3-CD45RO+ cells and CD4+CD25-LAG3-CD45RO- cells). A human tonsil was obtained from a patient undergoing routine tonsillectomy, and five tonsillar CD4+ T cell subsets were sorted (each 1 x 10^5 cells). There is no biological replication.

RNA-seq of murine CD4 T cells after pentanoate treatment compared to untreated control

Project description:To analyse the influence of pentanoate on the differentiation of naive CD4 T cells under Th17 inducing conditions, murine CD4 T cells were isolated from spleen and lymphnodes of FIR/TIGER mice (IL-10 (GFP) - Foxp3 (RFP) - Reporter mice). The T cells were kept for 3 days under Th17 inducing conditions either with 4 mM pentanoate or without pentanoate (control).

Fluorochrome-based definition of naturally occurring Foxp3+ regulatory T cells of intra- and extrathymic origin

Project description:Here, we report on experiments in double-transgenic mice, in which RFP is expressed in all Foxp3+ Treg cells, whereas Foxp3-dependent GFP expression is exclusively confined to intrathymically induced Foxp3+ Treg cells. This novel molecular genetic tool enabled us to faithfully track and characterize naturally induced Treg cells of intrathymic (RFP+GFP+) and extrathymic (RFP+GFPM-bM-^HM-^R) origin in otherwise unmanipulated mice. These experiments directly demonstrate that extrathymically induced Treg cells substantially contribute to the overall pool of mature Foxp3+ Treg cells residing in peripheral lymphoid tissues of steady-state mice. Furthermore, we provide evidence that intra- and extrathymically induced Foxp3+ Treg cells represent distinct phenotypic and functional sublineages. CD4+CD25+ RFP+GFP- and CD4+CD25+ RFP+GFP+ T cells from pooled lymph nodes and pooled spleens of 20 mice were FACS sorted for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays in duplicates.

RNA-seq analysis of transcriptomes of WT and Foxp3∆2 Treg cells in colon lamina propria

Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis of Tregs isolated from Foxp3RFP/∆2Foxp3GFP-cre female mice. CD4+GFP+RFP+ (WT Tregs) and CD4+GFP+RFP- (Foxp3∆2 Tregs) cells were sorted from colon lamina propria to a typical purity of >95%. In order to obtain enough RNA for sequencing, we combined the cells sortd from the cLP of three mice for library construction.
