A mechanism for expansion of the regulatory T cell repertoire and its role in enforcing self-tolerance

ABSTRACT: To investigate the influence of CNS3, a cis-regulatory element in the Foxp3 locus, on the selection of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire of regulator CD4+ T cells (Treg), we crossed Foxp3ΔCNS3-gfp or control Foxp3gfp mice to DO11.10 TCRβ transgene and Tcra-/+ background. We isolated Treg and conventional CD4+T cells from thymus, spleen and lymph nodes of Foxp3ΔCNS3-gfp DO11.10 TCRβ Tcra-/+ or Foxp3gfp DO11.10 TCRβ Tcra-/+ male littermates, and sequenced the TCRα chains. Analysis of the diversity of Complementary Determining Region 3 (CDR3) of TCRα showed a distinct clustering of CNS3-deficient Treg cells from the CNS3-sufficient ones.

The repertoire of newly developing regulatory T cells in the type I diabetes-prone NOD mouse is very diverse

Project description:Regulatory T lymphocytes expressing the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor Foxp3 (Treg) play a vital role in the protection of the organism from autoimmune disease and other immunopathologies. The antigen-specificity of Treg plays an important role in their in vivo activity. We therefore assessed the diversity of the T cell receptors for antigen (TCR) expressed by Treg newly developed in the thymus of autoimmune type I diabetes-prone NOD mice and compared it to the control mouse strain C57BL/6. Our results demonstrate that usage of the TCRα and TCRβ variable (V) and joining (J) segments, length of the complementarity determining region (CDR) 3, and the diversity of the TCRα and TCRβ chains are comparable between NOD and C57BL/6 mice. Genetic defects affecting the diversity of the TCR expressed by newly developed Treg therefore do not appear to be involved in the etiology of type I diabetes in the NOD mouse.

A discrete chromatin loop in the murine Tcra/Tcrd locus shapes the TCRδ and TCRα repertoires

Project description:The Tcra/Tcrd locus undergoes V(D)J recombination in CD4−CD8− double-negative (DN) thymocytes and CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes to generate diverse TCRδ and TCRα repertoires, respectively. Here we reveal a Tcra/Tcrd locus chromatin interaction network in DN thymocytes that is formed by interactions between CTCF-binding elements (CBEs). Disruption of a discrete chromatin loop encompassing the Dδ, Jδ and Cδ gene segments allows a single Vδ segment to frequently contact and rearrange to Dδ and Jδ segments and dominate the adult TCRδ repertoire. Disruption of this loop also narrows the TCRα repertoire, which, we believe, follows as a consequence of the restricted TCRδ repertoire. Hence, a single CTCF-mediated chromatin loop directly regulates TCRδ diversity and indirectly regulates TCRα diversity. Examination of chromatin loops by 4C-seq from 4 viewpoints in two lymphoid cell compartments: CD4-CD8- thymocytes and naïve B splenocytes.

RNA Sequencing Analysis of T Cell Receptor Alpha and Beta Chain in Thymic WT versus CIC-deficient CD4+ SP Non-Treg and Treg Cells.

Project description:Purpose : The goal of this study is to compare the repertoire of T cell receptor (TCR) alpha and beta chain between WT and CIC-deficient thymic CD4+ single positive (SP) T cells, in both non-Treg and Treg populations, to confirm the effect of CIC deficiency on T cell development in the aspect of TCR repertoire. Methods : Treg (CD4+CD8-CD25+GFP+) and non-Treg (CD4+CD8-GFP-) cells from Foxp3-GFP;Cicf/f and Foxp3-GFP;Cicf/f;Vav1-Cre mice were sorted by MoFlo-XDP (Beckman Coulter). Total RNA was extracted using RiboEX (GeneAll) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA was then amplified using a commercially available multiplex primer mix covering the TCR alpha and beta chains in two separate PCR reactions. Reverse transcription and subsequent PCR amplification (RT-PCR1) were performed using the Qiagen OneStep RT PCR mix (Qiagen). The cDNA was selected and unused primers were removed by SPRIselect bead selection (Beckman Coulter) followed by a second round of amplification performed with a pair of primers specific for communal sites engineered onto the 5ʹ end of the C- and V- primers used during RT-PCR1. After library preparation, paired-end sequencing was performed using the Illumina Miseq v3 600-cycle Reagent Kit (Illumina). Results : We observed increased frequency of TCRs with long CDR3 length in CIC-deficient non-Treg and Treg cells. We also found significant alterations in the TCR repertoire of TCR beta chain in CIC-deficient Treg cells compared to WT cells, including altered frequency of V and J chain usage. Conclusions : Our study represents the first comparative analysis of TCR repertoire of thymic CD4 SP cells from WT and hematopoietic lineage cell-specific Cic deficient mice. We concluded that CIC deficiency leads to alterations in TCR repertoire of thymic Treg cells.

Transcriptional characterization of tissue-Tregs and whole tissues of skeletal muscles in muscle Treg TCR transgenic mice.

Project description:Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play important roles in controlling both homeostatic processes and immune responses at the tissue and organismal levels. For example, Tregs promote muscle regeneration in acute or chronic injury models by direct effects on local muscle progenitor cells as well as on infiltrating inflammatory cells. Muscle Tregs have a transcriptome, a T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and effector capabilities distinct from those of classical, lymphoid-organ Tregs, but it has proven difficult to study the provenance and functions of these unique features due to the rarity of muscle Tregs and their fragility upon isolation. Here, we attempted to side-step these hindrances by generating, characterizing and employing a line of mice carrying rearranged transgenes encoding the TCRα and TCRβ chains from a Treg clone rapidly and specifically expanded within acutely injured hindlimb muscle of young mice. Tregs displaying the transgene-encoded TCR preferentially accumulated in injured hindlimb muscle in a TCR-dependent manner both in the straight transgenic model and in adoptive-transfer systems; non-Treg CD4+ T cells expressing the same TCR did not specifically localize in injured muscle. The definitive muscle-Treg transcriptome was not established until the transgenic Tregs inhabited muscle. When crossed onto the mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the muscle-Treg TCR transgenes drove enhanced accumulation of Tregs in hindlimb muscles and improved muscle regeneration. These findings invoke the possibility of harnessing muscle Tregs or their TCRs for treatment of skeletal muscle pathologies.

Next Generation Sequencing of T regulatory cells (GFP+, dTomato+) and ex-T regulatory cells (GFP-, dTomato+) harvested from lymph nodes of bone marrow chimeras (50% Foxp3GFP-tdT or Foxp3GFP-Fth/-tdT and 50% C57BL/6 bone marrow into Rag2-/- recipients)

Project description:Purpose: To address whether FTH regulates gene expression in TREG cells, irrespective of bystander inflammation. For this, we compared the gene expression profile of TREG and Ex-TREG cells sorted from the lymph nodes of mixed BM chimeras Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped an average 30.14 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm39) and identified 34,321 transcripts in the mRNA of Treg and Ex-Treg cells from mixed bone marrow chimeras. Differential gene expression was performed using the DESeq2 R package (v.1.32) and gene expression was modeled by genotype and condition. Differentially expressed genes were considered for genes with an adjusted p-value<0.05 and an absolute log2 fold change>0. Conclusions: Analysis of RNAseq data showed that Fth deletion in TREG cells (CD45.2+GFP+tdT+) developing from the BM of Foxp3GFP-Fth∆/∆-tdT mice, up-regulated 149 genes and down-regulation of 96 genes, compared to TREG cells from control Foxp3GFP-tdT mice. Ex-TREG cells (CD45.2+GFP-tdT+) up-regulated 90 genes and down-regulated 36 genes. The genes regulated in TREG and ex-TREG cells originating from the BM of Foxp3GFP-Fth∆/∆-tdT vs. Foxp3GFP-tdT mice were associated with the oxidative stress response regulated by NRF2 . This suggests that FTH exerts cell-autonomous control of TREG cell redox homeostasis, irrespective of bystander inflammation.

The kinase DYRK1A reciprocally regulates the differentiation of Th17 and regulatory T cells [array]

Project description:Using an unbiased chemical biology approach, we discover harmine as a novel regulator of Treg/Th17 differentiation. Harmine enhances Treg differentiation (working in conjunction with low levels of exogenous TGFb) and inhibits Th17 differentiation. Analysis of global gene expression of Tregs generated using low TGFb + harmine reveals significant similarity to Tregs generated using high TGFb only and suggests relevance of harmine-engaged mechanisms to IBD. Naïve CD4+CD62L+ T cells were purified from Foxp3GFP mice either by MACS or FACS, then cultured in either low TGFb + harmine or high TGFb conditions. GFP+ Tregs were sorted by FACS at day 4.
