Foxp3 regulatory T cells (Tregs) migrating from the skin to the draining lymph node (dLN) have a strong immunosuppressive effect on the cutaneous immune response. However, the subpopulations responsible for their inhibitory function remain unclear. We investigated single-cell gene expression heterogeneity in Tregs from the dLN of inflamed skin in a contact hypersensitivity model. The immunosuppressive genes Ctla4 and Tgfb1 were expressed in the majority of Tregs. Although Il10-expressing Tregs were rare, unexpectedly, the majority of Il10-expressing Tregs co-expressed Gzmb and displayed Th1-skewing. Single-cell profiling revealed that CD43 CCR5 Tregs represented the main subset within the Il10/Gzmb-expressing cell population in the dLN. Moreover, CD43 CCR5 CXCR3 Tregs expressed skin-tropic chemokine receptors, were preferentially retained in inflamed skin and downregulated the cutaneous immune response. The identification of a rare Treg subset co-expressing multiple immunosuppressive molecules and having tissue-remaining capacity offers a novel strategy for the control of skin inflammatory responses.
Foxp3+ 调节性 T 细胞(Tregs)从皮肤迁移到引流淋巴结(dLN),对皮肤免疫反应具有强烈的免疫抑制作用。然而,其抑制功能的亚群仍不清楚。我们在接触超敏反应模型中研究了炎症皮肤 dLN 中 Tregs 的单细胞基因表达异质性。抑制性基因 Ctla4 和 Tgfb1 在大多数 Tregs 中表达。尽管表达 Il10 的 Tregs 很少,但出乎意料的是,大多数表达 Il10 的 Tregs 共表达 Gzmb 并表现出 Th1 偏向。单细胞分析显示,CD43+ CCR5+ Tregs 是 dLN 中表达 Il10/Gzmb 的细胞群体中的主要亚群。此外,CD43+ CCR5+ CXCR3+ Tregs 表达皮肤归巢趋化因子受体,优先保留在炎症皮肤中,并下调皮肤免疫反应。鉴定出一种罕见的 Treg 亚群,共表达多种免疫抑制分子,并具有组织保留能力,为控制皮肤炎症反应提供了一种新策略。
