Abstrakt: Immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is caused by mutations in forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), which lead to the loss of function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the development of autoimmune manifestations early in life. The selective induction of a Treg program in autologous CD4+ T cells by FOXP3 gene transfer is a promising approach for curing IPEX. We have established a novel in vivo assay of Treg functionality, based on adoptive transfer of these cells into scurfy mice (an animal model of IPEX) and a combination of cyclophosphamide (Cy) conditioning and interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment. This model highlighted the possibility of rescuing scurfy disease after the latter's onset. By using this in vivo model and an optimized lentiviral vector expressing human Foxp3 and, as a reporter, a truncated form of the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (ΔLNGFR), we demonstrated that the adoptive transfer of FOXP3-transduced scurfy CD4+ T cells enabled the long-term rescue of scurfy autoimmune disease. The efficiency was similar to that seen with wild-type Tregs. After in vivo expansion, the converted CD4FOXP3 cells recapitulated the transcriptomic core signature for Tregs. These findings demonstrate that FOXP3 expression converts CD4+ T cells into functional Tregs capable of controlling severe autoimmune disease.
