Introduction: Regulatory cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β): - - is a secreted protein that exists in three isoforms called TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 - - TGF-β1 is the founding and predominant member of this family - - controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types - - acts as a negative autocrine growth factor - - specific receptors for TGF-β activation trigger apoptosis when activated - - many cells synthesize TGF-β and almost all of them have specific receptors for this peptide

T lymphocytes are the key components of the adaptive immune system - - express T cell receptors (TCR) which recognize antigens in association with molecules of MHC - - selected in the thymus according to the affinity to self-antigens to prevent auto immune response - - differentiate upon infection into effector T cells – CD4+ helper T cells or CD8+ cytotoxic T cells – to combat the invading pathogen Introduction: All these crucial processes of T cell development, homeostasis, tolerance to self antigens and differentiation are highly dependent on TGF-β regulation

Understand the regulation of T cells by TGF-β

Synthesized in inactive form in association with latency-associated protein (LAP) Secreted as such Bind to latent-TGF-β-binding protein (LTBP) targeting TGF-β to ECM

cells that produce TGF-β activator can differ from those that secrete TGF-β integration of signals from multiple cell types to regulate cellular responses

- - Binding to complex of TGF-β type I (TGF-βRI) and type II (TGF-βRII) receptors active signalling pathways - - Phosphrilation of transcriptional factors Smad2 and 3 translocation to the nucleus with Smad4 or TIF1γ - Binding to the regulatory sequences in target genes regulation of gene expression OR - Activation of Smad-independent signalling pathways

The plasticity of Smad proteins in transcriptional regulation and the diversity of Smad-independent pathways enable TGF-β to exert its pleiotropic actions

TGF-β Regulates T Cell Development Using different mice models (TGF-βRII- and TGF-βRI-deficient mice, TGF-βRII- deficient H-Y TCR transgenic mice) it was shown that TGF-β signalling in T cells : - - promotes CD8+ and CD1d-dependent natural killer (NKT) T cell differentiation - - reveals opposing functions on the CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T (nTreg) cell development depending on the mice age

TGF-β regulates naive T cell homeostasis TGF-βRII-deficient OT-II cells (T cell TCRs have high binding affinity only to non- self MHC II antigen) undergo a high cell death and are largerly depleted in peripheral lymphoid organs Lack of TGF-β signalling in CD8+ cells in H-Y TCR-transgenic mice led to diminished mature T cell numbers in female mice TGF-β signalling in T cells is essential for maintaince of peripheral T cell tolerance - How TCR specificity modulates T cell responses in TGF-β-deficient mice or mice with T cell-specific inactivation of TGF-β receptors? - What is the reason for naive T cell loss when TGF-β signalling is disrupted?

TGF-β regulates naive T cell homeostasis In OT-II mice, deficient for Tgfbr2 gene, T cells actively differentiate into T helper 1 (Th1) or Th2 effector T cells, in contrast to normal polyclonal T cell population TGF-β-deficient mice with other single nonself TCR affinities (TEα transgenic T cells and DO11.10 T cells) Th1 cells secrete IFNγ and lymphotoxin to combat intracellular pathogens through activation of adaptive immune system Th2 cells produce IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 which direct antibody production to control extracellular pathogens

TGF-β may have an essential role in promoting the survival of both CD4+ and CD8+ naïve T cells that interact with low affinity to self-antigens Modulates immune tolerance by inhibiting high-affinity CD4+ and CD8+ T cell proliferation and differentiation into Th1 and Th2 and cytotoxic T lymphocytes

Active immune suppression by cytokine TGF-β1 or CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells is a pivotal mechanism of peripheral T cell tolerance Mice lacking either TGF-β1 or Foxp3, the transcription factor required for Treg cell function, develop multifocal inflammatory disorders What is the mechanism underlying TGF-β regulation of T cell tolerance?

TGF-βRII-, TGF-β1-deficient mice, bone marrow chimera and T cell transfer experiments Lack of TGF-β signalling leads to: -Reduction of nTreg cell -More activated and differentiated phenotype of T cell populations

T cells thymic nTreg cells Foxp3 expression TGF-β recruiment of downstream transcriptional factor Smad3 to a Foxp3 enhancer element T cell produced IL-2 activates STAT5 for binding to Foxp3 promoter Differentiation of iTreg cells induced Treg (iTreg) cells in periphery

T cells thymic nTreg cells Foxp3 expression TGF-β recruitment of downstream transcriptional factor Smad3 to a Foxp3 enhancer element T cell produced IL-2 activates STAT5 for binding to Foxp3 promoter Differentiation of iTreg cells RORγt expression induced Treg (iTreg) cells in periphery Th17 cells IL-6 activates STAT3 induction of ROPγt expression Differentiation of Th17 cells Th17 cells secrete IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, that act on a broad range of innate immune and nonhematopoietic cells to protect the host from extracellular pathogens - RORγt - transcription factor that orchestrates the differentiation of Th17 lineage Foxp3 interacts with ROPγt and suppresses its function mechanism for reciprocal differentiation of iTreg and Th17 cells

Summary and Future Perspectives   regulates thymic T cell development and peripheral T cell survival, proliferation and differentiation   ensures the maintenance of divers and self-tolerant T cell repertoire and the initiation of appropriate T cell responses essential for an effective adaptive immune system   may have an important role in more ancient biological processes such as embryonic development and carcinogenesis New insights into the control of T cell responses by TGF-β will help to illuminate the fundamental principles of T cell regulation and facilitate the employment of TGF-β to treat a variety of immune-related disorders TGF-β:
