M. van Meerwijk, Stephanie Humblet-Baron, Adrian Liston*, Susan M. Schlenner* Folder single-cell RNA sequencing - Fig. 4: Purpose: identify differentially expressed genes between ex-Treg obtained 5, 10, or 15 days post-adoptive transfer into a lymphopenic environment compared to ex vivo Treg in order to identify Treg subset with heightened instability. Method: Treg from Foxp3YFP-Cre Rosa26RFP (PMID: 18387831, PMID: 17171761) were co-injected with congenically-disparated naive T cells in a 1:1 ratio into Rag1KO mice and ex-Treg were sorted at 15 days, 10 days or 5 days post-transfer. As a control, ex vivo Treg was sorted from Foxp3YFP-Cre Rosa26RFP (d0 sample). Next, samples were stained with multiplexing antibodies using the BD Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit (BD biosciences), then pooled and stained with the following oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies: anti‑CD25 (PC61), anti-CD44 (IM7), anti-CD62L (MEL-14), anti-GITR (DTA-1), anti-CD4 (RM4-5), anti‑TCRb (H57-597), anti‑CD69 (H1.2F3), anti‑TIGIT (1G9), anti‑CD95 (Jo2), anti‑CD122 (TM‑1β), anti‑Tim-3 (5D12), anti‑CCR7 (4B12), anti‑CD103 (M290), anti‑CD279 (J43), anti‑CD274 (MIH5), anti‑CD233 (C9B7W), anti‑CD71 (C2), anti‑CD278 (7E7G9), anti‑ITGB7 (M293), anti‑CD137 (1AH2), anti‑CD40 (3/23), anti‑CD3e (145-2C) from BD Biosciences. Single-cell capture and cDNA library preparation was performed using the BD Rhapsody Single-cell analysis system (BD Biosciences), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using a custom gene panel (591 genes). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument using a Mid‑Output kit v2.5 (150 cycles, paired-end). Sample demultiplexing, barcode processing, alignment, filtering, UMI counting were done using the standard BD Biosciences Rhapsody analysis pipeline on Seven Bridges (www.sevenbridges.com). Result and conclusion: In this study, we showed that ex-Treg downregulate Treg core-specific genes immediately upon adoptive transfer into a lymphopenic environment. Further, we identified a naïve-like Treg population enriched for unstable Treg clones. Folder microbiome sequencing- Fig S4: Purpose: Analyze diversity in microbial communities within fecal samples of SPF housed mice and SPF mice co-housed with pet store mice (CoH) method: Microbiome sequencing was performed as previously described in Pasciuto et al. (PMID: 32702313) result and conclusion: The microbial communities were different in SPF mice compared to CoH mice; 19 % of the variation on the microbial composition can be explained by this grouping (adonis test, R2 = 0.18791, p = 0.001). Twelve genera were identified with differences in relative abundance, seven enriched and five depleted in CoH mice (q-values < 0.1, Wilcoxon test).

Steps to reproduce
Fig 4/ Fig S10: protocol: At day 5, day 10, and day 15, recipient mice were euthanized and spleen and lymph nodes were processed and FACS sorted for ex-Foxp3 cells. As a control, ex vivo Treg were sorted from Foxp3YFP-Cre Rosa26 fl STOP fl RFP mice (day 0 sample). Next, samples were stained using the sample tag antibodies (BD Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit, BD Biosciences). Afterwards, samples were pooled and stained using the following oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies according to manufacturing instructions: anti CD25 (PC61), anti-CD44 (IM7), anti-CD62L (MEL-14), anti-GITR (DTA-1), anti-CD4 (RM4-5), anti TCRbeta (H57-597), anti CD69 (H1.2F3), anti TIGIT (1G9), anti CD95 (Jo2), anti CD122 (TM 1β), anti Tim-3 (5D12), anti CCR7 (4B12), anti CD103 (M290), anti CD279 (J43), anti CD274 (MIH5), anti CD233 (C9B7W), anti CD71 (C2), anti CD278 (7E7G9), anti ITGB7 (M293), anti CD137 (1AH2), anti CD40 (3/23), anti CD3a (145-2C) from BD Biosciences. Single-cell capture and cDNA library preparation was performed using the BD Rhapsody single-cell analysis system (BD Biosciences). For more information please refer to the paper Fig S4: protocol: Foxp3YFP-Cre RosaRFP mice were either SPF-housed (n=13) or co-housed with wild-exposed pet store mice for 8 weeks (n=9). The microbial diversity of caecal contents in specific pathogen-free (SPF) and wild-cohoused (CoH) mice was compared through 16S rRNA analysis.
