Abstract

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in suppressing systemic effector immune responses, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases but also potentially contributing to tumor progression. Thus, there is great interest in clinically manipulating Tregs, but the precise mechanisms governing in vitro-induced Treg (iTreg) differentiation are not yet fully understood. Here, we used multiparametric mass cytometry to phenotypically profile human iTregs during the early stages of in vitro differentiation at single-cell level. A panel of 25 metal-conjugated antibodies specific to markers associated with human Tregs was used to characterize these immunomodulatory cells. We found that iTregs highly express the transcription factor FOXP3, as well as characteristic Treg-associated surface markers (e.g. CD25, PD1, CD137, CCR4, CCR7, CXCR3, and CD103). Expression of co-inhibitory factors (e.g. TIM3, LAG3, and TIGIT) increased slightly at late stages of iTreg differentiation. Further, CD103 was upregulated on a subpopulation of iTregs with greater suppressive capacity than their CD103 counterparts. Using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, we showed that sorted CD103 iTregs express factors associated with immunosuppression. Overall, our study highlights that during early stages of differentiation, iTregs resemble memory-like Treg features with immunosuppressive activity, and provides opportunities for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying Treg function.

摘要

调节性 T 细胞(Tregs)在抑制全身效应免疫应答方面发挥着关键作用,从而防止自身免疫性疾病,但也可能促进肿瘤进展。因此,临床上操纵 Tregs 具有很大的兴趣,但控制体外诱导的 Treg(iTreg)分化的确切机制尚未完全理解。在这里,我们使用多参数质谱流式细胞术在单细胞水平上对体外分化早期的人类 iTreg 进行表型分析。使用一组 25 种与人类 Tregs 相关的标记物特异性的金属偶联抗体来表征这些免疫调节细胞。我们发现 iTreg 高度表达转录因子 FOXP3,以及特征性的 Treg 相关表面标记物(例如 CD25、PD1、CD137、CCR4、CCR7、CXCR3 和 CD103)。共抑制因子(例如 TIM3、LAG3 和 TIGIT)的表达在 iTreg 分化的晚期略有增加。此外,在具有比其 CD103 对应物更强抑制能力的 iTreg 亚群上上调了 CD103。使用基于质谱的蛋白质组学,我们表明分选的 CD103 iTregs 表达与免疫抑制相关的因子。总体而言,我们的研究强调,在分化的早期阶段,iTreg 类似于具有免疫抑制活性的记忆样 Treg 特征,并为进一步研究 Treg 功能的分子机制提供了机会。
