Deciphering the regulatory landscape of fetal and adult gd T-cell development at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Gamma delta T (gdT) cells with distinct properties develop in the embryonic and adult thymus and have been identified as critical players in a broad range of infections, antitumor surveillance, autoimmune diseases and tissue homeostasis. Despite their potential value for immunotherapy, differentiation of gdT cells in the thymus is incompletely understood. Here, we establish a high-resolution map of gdT cell differentiation from the fetal and adult thymus using single-cell RNA-sequencing. We reveal novel sub-types of immature and mature gdT cells and identify an unpolarized thymic population which is expanded in the blood and lymph nodes. Our detailed comparative analysis reveals remarkable similarities between the gene networks active during fetal and adult gdT cell differentiation. By performing a combined single-cell analysis of Sox13, Maf and Rorc knockout mice, we demonstrate sequential activation of these factors during IL-17-producing gdT cell (gdT17) differentiation. These findings substantially expand our understanding of gdT cell ontogeny in fetal and adult life. Our experimental and computational strategy provides a blueprint for comparing immune cell differentiation across developmental stages.

Genomic profiling of chromatin accessibility in gd T cells during thymic development

Project description:Innate-like gd T effector subsets are exported from the thymus as “memory-like” cells prewired for rapid, specialized function. Previously, we showed that emergent gd subsets distinguished by TCRg and TCRd usage in the fetal and adult thymus possess distinct global transcriptomes and the subset-specific combinatorial expression of High Mobility Group box transcription factors (HMG TFs) shown as a primary determinant of gd effector differentiation. While the detailed mechanism of HMG TFs cooperativity and counter-regulations are not fully understood, a key feature for IL-17 producing gd T effectors (Tgd 17) is predicted to be context-dependent interactions between SOX13 and TCF1 that result in diversified target gene regulation. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATACseq) will map chromatin accessibility genome wide. Each read will provide information about the positions of nucleosomes and nucleosome-free regions.

Essential functions of the transcription factors TCF1 and SOX13 in gdT cell development (Sox13hi and Sox13lo)

More SOX13 allow more TCF1 dockings on DNA. TCF1 chromatin occupancy in the Tgd17 gene cluster (V2 set) mimics when the amount of SOX13 is enhanced like the Sox13 transgenic system. Globally 75% of SOX13 binding is overlapped with TCF1 binding and V2 set-specifically 85% of SOX13 targets are overlapped with TCF1 targets. Mostly V2 sets are H3K4me3 (79%) and the genome wide analysis between TCF1 and SOX13 indicate cooperative and active SOX13-dependent-TCF1-modulations on V2 sets.

Epigenetic profiling reveals developmental traits of adult thymus-derived Vγ4+ γδ T cells

Project description:Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies elucidated gene regulatory networks and TCR signaling molecules underlying functional differentiation into γδ1 and γδ17 cells that now provide valid resources to define developing CD24+ γδ, γδ1 and γδ17 cells. The γδ1 cell subsets express key transcription factors of cytotoxicity and IFNγ-production, such as Tbx21 (encoding T-bet) and Eomes, as well as natural killer receptor (NKRs). Development of γδ17 cells is favorable in the early life period, regulated by Notch signaling and a network of transcriptional regulators including cMaf, Sox13, Blk, and Rorc that are essential for functional differentiation. However, detailed knowledge about molecular programs of Vγ4 cells, including their potential to become γδ1 or γδ17 cells during adult thymus development, is lacking. Here we employed transcriptional and epigenetic analysis of Vγ4 cells under steady-state conditions and after induction of de novo T cell development from adult thymus precursor cells.

Transcription profiling of mouse SOX13 mutants to identify Sox13 regulated genes in CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocytes

Project description:ab and gd T cells originate from a common, multi-potential precursor population in the thymus, but the molecular mechanisms regulating this lineage fate decision process are unknown. We have identified Sox13 as a gd-specific gene in the immune system. Using Sox13 transgenic mice, we show that SOX13 promotes gd T cell development while opposing ab T cell differentiation. Conversely, mice deficient in Sox13 expression exhibited impaired development of gd T cells, but not ab T cells. One mechanism of SOX13 function is the inhibition of WNT/TCF signaling, suggesting that differential WNT/TCF activity is an essential parameter for this binary cell fate choice. Experiment Overall Design: CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocyte subsets were sorted by FACS using total pooled thymocytes from minimum of two mice and immediately lysed in Trizol. Comparison groups in each experiment were DP thymocytes from Sox13 transgenic mice and wild type B6 littermate controls. Gene expression profiling was performed according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol (Affymetrix). Labeled cRNA (from total RNA) was generated and applied to Affymetrix Mu11K(A and B) (expt 1) or muU74Av2 (expt 2) microarrays. Results were analyzed using Microarray Analysis Software v4 and v5 (Affymetrix).

Human fetal liver samples where obtained from first trimester embryos.

A cell atlas of human thymic development defines T cell repertoire formation

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing to create a cell census of the human thymus during development, early childhood and adult life. We sampled 15 embryonic and fetal thymi spanning thymic developmental stages between 7 post-conception weeks (PCW) to 17 PCW, and 9 postnatal thymi from paediatric and adult samples. We compared the cellular composition and T cell differentiation within human and mouse thymus using newly generated and repository mouse datasets. Finally, we investigated the bias in the recombination and selection of human versus mouse TCR repertoires.
