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

ABSTRACT: 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+GFP−) 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.

Transcriptome analysis of CNS and splenic FOXP3+ Tregs vs. exFOXP3 T cells during EAE

Project description:EAE was induced in female FOXP3 fate mapping mice. At peak of disease, immune cells were isolated from brain and spinal cord (pooled as CNS) and spleen. Next, FOXP3+ and exFOXP3 T cells were FACS-sorted based on RFP and GFP expression.

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.

Foxp3-dependent and -independent functions of peripherally-induced Treg cells [08075]

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing the lineage-defining transcription factor Foxp3 are essential for the maintenance of immune tolerance. Foxp3 expression can be induced in a subset of developing self-reactive thymocytes to yield thymic Treg (tTreg) cells, critical for tolerance against self-antigens. Alternatively, activation of mature naïve T cells under non-inflammatory conditions can drive the differentiation of peripherally-induced Treg (pTreg) cells, thought to contribute to tolerance against commensal microbes and dietary antigens. While Foxp3 is indispensable for tTreg cell development and function, its role in pTreg cells has remained unknown. Here, we used a genetic fate mapping approach to characterize polyclonal pTreg cells induced by microbial colonization. We found that expression of a pTreg cell-specific gene expression program was initiated in the mesenteric lymph node (mLN) in a Foxp3-independent manner. Moreover, in contrast to Treg cells in secondary lymphoid tissues, colonic microbiota-dependent pTreg cells did not depend on Foxp3 for their fitness or lineage commitment and were capable of suppressing colonic effector T cell expansion in a Foxp3-independent manner. Rather, Foxp3 was required in a cell-intrinsic manner to limit IL-17 production and to prevent the expansion of intestinal mast cells. Our results suggest that, extrathymic Foxp3 induction likely acts as a mechanism to fine-tune the activity of Th17-like cells with Foxp3-independent regulatory functions.

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 profiles of Foxp3RFP (WT), Foxp3∆EGFPiCre (Foxp3-deficient) and Foxp3∆EGFPiCreRictor∆/∆ (Foxp3-deficient and Rictor deficient) Treg cells.

Project description:Comparaison of the transcriptomes of WT and Foxp3-deficient regulatory T cells from the spleen of females that carried one mutant Foxp3∆EGFPiCre allele and a second competent Foxp3 allele (Foxp3RFP) that also directed the expression of the red fluorescent protein (RFP) . We then extended these studies to elucidate transcriptional pathways altered upon Rictor deletion in ∆Treg cells that may contribute to their improved regulatory function by analyzing the transcriptome of ∆Treg cells isolated from Foxp3∆EGFPiCre/+Rictor∆/∆ females.
