Batf Stabilizes Th17 Cell Development via Impaired Stat5 Recruitment of Ets1-Runx1 Complexes

ABSTRACT: Although the activator protein-1 (AP-1) factor Batf is required for Th17 cell development, its mechanisms of action to underpin the Th17 program are incompletely understood. Here we find that Batf ensures Th17 cell identity in part by restricting alternative gene programs through its actions to restrain IL-2 expression and IL-2-induced Stat5 activation. This, in turn, limits Stat5-dependent recruitment of Ets1-Runx1 factors to Th1 and Treg cell-specific gene loci. Thus, in addition to pioneering regulatory elements in Th17-specific loci, Batf acts indirectly to inhibit assembly of a Stat5-Ets1-Runx1 complex that enhances transcription of Th1 and Treg cell-specific genes. These findings unveil an important role for Stat5-Ets1-Runx1 interactions in transcriptional networks that define alternate T cell fates and indicate that Batf plays an indispensable role in both inducing and maintaining the Th17 program through its actions to regulate the competing actions of Stat5-assembled enhanceosomes that promote Th1 and Treg-cell developmental programs.

Batf stabilizes Th17 cell development via limiting STAT5 signaling pathway (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Th17 cells secrete IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22 cytokines that are critical in mediating inflammation and protecting the host from microorganisms infection. The basic leucine zipper transcription factor ATF-like (Batf) contributes to the transcriptional programming of multiple effector T cells, and is required for Th17 cell development. Here, we have interrogated mechanisms by which Batf promotes and stabilizes Th17 cell phenotype. We have shown that in vitro differentiated Th17 cells have increased expression of Th1 and Treg signature genes in the absence of Batf. In addition, Citrobacter rodentium infected Batf-deficient (Batf KO) mice fail to clear the infection, and that is correlated with diminished IL-17A and IL-22 cytokine production and increased Foxp3 and Ifng expression compared to WT mice. We find that Batf sustains Th17 phenotype in long-term culture conditions by suppressing Th1- and Treg-specific gene expression. Mechanistically, we reveal that Batf negatively regulates IL-2-STAT5 signaling and modulates STAT5 binding at the Ifng and Foxp3 gene loci thus suppressing Th1-Treg phenotype in Th17 cell development. Inhibition of STAT5 DNA binding activity in Batf KO Th17 cells was able to repress Ifng and Foxp3 expression compared to control-treated cells. Moreover, STAT5 cooperates with transcription factors Ets1 and Runx1 to mediate epigenetic modification and regulate gene expression. Thus, our study has revealed an essential function of Batf in modulating the IL-2-STAT5 signaling to promote and stabilize Th17 cell development.

Batf pioneers the reorganization of chromatin in developing effector T cells via Ets1-dependent recruitment of Ctcf [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We have examined mechanisms by which Batf acts to initiate gene transcription in developing effector CD4 T cells. We find that in addition to its pioneering function, Batf controls developmentally regulated recruitment of the chromatin architectural factor, Ctcf, to promote chromatin looping that is associated with transcription of lineage-specific genes. The chromatin organizing actions of Batf are largely Ets1-dependent, which appears to be indispensable for the Batf-dependent recruitment of Ctcf. Moreover, most of the Batf-dependent sites to which Ctcf is recruited lie outside of Ap-1–Irf composite elements (AICEs), indicating that direct involvement of Batf-Irf complexes is not required. Thus, we have identified a cooperative role for Batf, Ets1 and Ctcf in chromatin reorganization that underpins transcriptional programming of effector T cells.
