DNA methylation profiling of human CD4+ T helper cells reveals the epigenetic control of SLAMF7 expression in IFN-γ producing cells

ABSTRACT: Naive CD4+T cells are highly plastic cells that - upon activation - can differentiate into various T helper (Th) cell fates characterized by the expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines. Their expression can be stabilized by epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation. So far, our knowledge about the link between DNA methylation and T helper cell differentiation processes is fragmentary. After the identification of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in human T helper cells we enlarged the characterization by analysing the transcriptome of ex vivo isolated and sorted naive T cells, Th1 and Th17 cells. This enables us to study the differential gene expression among CD4+T helper subsets, identify links between transcriptome and methylome, and search for expressed transcription factors that could bind to DMRs.

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of human CD4+ T helper cells define epigenetic signatures for Th1, Th17 and non-classic Th1 cells

Project description:Naive CD4+ T cells are highly plastic cells that - upon activation - can differentiate into various T helper (Th) cell fates characterized by the expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines. Their expression can be stabilized by epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation. So far, our knowledge about the link between DNA methylation and T helper cell differentiation processes is fragmentary. In this study, we generated methylomes of CD4+ T helper cells by performing a whole-genome bisulfite sequencing analysis of ex vivo isolated human naïve T cells and selected clones of Th1, non-classic Th1 and Th17 cells. The pairwise comparison of the methylomes identified differentially methylated regions (DMRs) mainly located within introns, followed by promoter regions and exons. In accordance with literature, several DMRs were identified within lineage-specific loci like IFNG, TBX21, IL-17A and RORC. Thus, the identified DMRs are suitable to further characterize the T helper lineages and might be helpful to define lineage-specific regulatory modules involved in human T helper cell differentiation.

CD4+ cell transcriptional profiling by RNA sequencing

Project description:<p>We use next generation sequencing to investigate the different transcriptomes of closely related CD4+ T-cells from healthy human donors to elucidate the genetic programs that underlie their specialized immune functions. Six cell types were included: Regulatory T-cells (CD25hiCD127low/neg with >95% FOXP3+ purity), regulatory T-cells activated using PMA/ionomycin, CD25-CD45RA+ ('naive' helper T-cells), CD25-CD45RO+ ('memory' helper T-cells), activated Th17 cells (>98% IL17A+ purity) and activated IL17-CD4+ T-cells (called 'ThPI'). Poly-T capture beads were used to isolate mRNA from total RNA, and fragment sizes of ~200 were sequenced from both ends on Illumina's genome analyzer. We confirm many of the canonical signature genes of T-cell populations, but also discover new genes whose expression is limited to specific CD4 T-cell lineages, including long non-coding RNAs. Additionally, we find that genes encoded at loci linked to multiple human autoimmune diseases are enriched for preferential expression upon T-cell activation, suggesting that an aberrant response to T-cell activation is fundamental to pathogenesis.</p>

Puniya2021 - Naive CD4+ T cell metabolic model

Project description:CD4+ T cells are critical components in the human immune system. They produce cytokines to fight against pathogens and abnormal cells and stimulate other cells, such as B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, to generate an immune response. Naive CD4+ T cells are precursor cells that can differentiate into T helper - 1, - 2, - 17 (Th1, Th2, Th17) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) subtypes based on the type of pathogens or disease. The naive CD4+ T cell model consists of 5179 reactions, 3153 metabolites, and 1055 genes. Together with Th1, Th2, and Th17 models, the naive CD4+ T cell model helped identify drug targets and repurposable drugs against autoimmune diseases.

Quantitative Analysis of Global Proteome and Lysine Acetylome for Human CD4+ T Follicular Helper Cells

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) are a subset of CD4+ T helper cells that provide help to germinal center B cells and mediate the development of long-lived humoral immunity. Tfh cells dysregulation is associated with several major autoimmune diseases. Although recent studies showed Tfh cells differentiation is controlled by the transcription factor Bcl6, cytokines and cell-cell signals, limited information is available on the proteome and post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins in human Tfh cells. In this study, using TMT labeling technique, antibody-based affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis, we investigated quantitative proteome and acetylome in human naive CD4+ T cells and in vitro induced Tfh (iTfh) cells. In total, we identified 802 up-regulated proteins and 598 down-regulated proteins at the threshold of 1.5 folds in iTfh cells compared to naive CD4+ T cells. With the aid of intensive bioinformatics, biological process, cellular compartment, molecular function, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction of these differentially expressed proteins were revealed. Moreover, our acetylome data showed that 22 lysine acetylated proteins are up-regulated and 26 lysine acetylated proteins are down-regulated in iTfh cells compared to the naive CD4+ T cells, among which 11 differentially acetylated lysine residues in core histone were identified, indicating proteins acetylation and epigenetic mechanism are involved in regulating Tfh cells differentiation. These data provide a significant resource for studies of Tfh differentiation and normal and perturbed Tfh cell function.

Genome-wide methylation analysis of murine CD4+ Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells

Project description:T helper cells play an essential role in supporting immune reactions as a part of the adaptive immune system. During activation, naive CD4+ T cells can differentiate into various types of effector T cells, each defined by the expression of lineage-specific transcription factors and secretion of specific cytokines. The three main effector/memory cells were classified as T helper 1 (Th1), 2 (Th2) or 17 (Th17) cells, expressing T-bet, Gata3 or Ror gamma t, respectively. Differentiation into a specific T helper lineage is accompanied with durable transcriptional changes partially regulated by epigenetic mechanisms like changes in DNA methylation. Comparing the methylomes of CD4+ memory T cells opens up the chance to identify accessible, functionally relevant gene loci that would have been overlooked in an RNA-seq approach because their transcription depends on inflammatory stimuli. Because studies have shown that in vitro induced T helper cells do not completely match in vivo generated cells, we sorted ex vivo Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells from spleen and lymph nodes of healthy mice, and performed a bisulfite sequencing (Bi-Seq). The pairwise comparison of the methylomes identified differential methylated regions (DMRs) in known epigenetically regulated genes like Tbx21, Ifng, Gata3, Il4, and Ccr6, as well as in loci not known to be epigenetically regulated like Ccr8, Lck or NfkB1.
