The transcription factor BCL6 controls early development of innate-like T cells (ATAC-seq)

ABSTRACT: Innate T cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated innate T (MAIT) cells, are a heterogeneous T lymphocyte population with effector properties pre-programmed during their thymic differentiation. How this program is initiated is currently unclear. Here, we show that the transcription factor BCL6 is transiently expressed in iNKT cells upon exit from positive selection and is required for their proper development beyond stage 0. Notably, development of MAIT cells is also impaired in Bcl6-deficient mice. We found that BCL6 regulates the expression of genes that are associated with the innate T cell lineage, including PLZF and its targets. BCL6 contributes to a chromatin accessibility landscape that is permissive for the expression of development-related genes and inhibitory for genes associated with naïve T cell programs. Our results reveal novel functions for BCL6 and indicate that this transcription factor controls the inception of innate T cell lineage programming.

Id proteins suppress E2A-driven iNKT cell development prior to TCR selection [RNA-seq]

Project description:Id proteins have been shown to promote the differentiation of conventional αβ and γδT cells, and to suppress the expansion of invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells and innate-like γδNKT within their respective cell lineages. However, it remains to be determined whether Id proteins regulate lineage specification in developing T cells that give rise to these distinct cell fates. Here we report that in the absence of Id2 and Id3 proteins, E2A prematurely activates genes critical for the iNKT cell lineage prior to TCR expression. Lack of Id proteins also promotes a biased TCR rearrangement in favor of iNKT cell fate prior to selection at the CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) stage. Enhanced iNKT development in Id3-deficient mice lacking γδNKT cells suggests that Id3 regulates the lineage competition between these populations. RNA-Seq analysis establishes E2A as the transcriptional regulator of both iNKT and γδNKT development. In the absence of pre-TCR signaling, Id2/Id3 deletion gives rise to a large population of iNKT cells and a unique innate-like DP population, despite the block in conventional αβ T cell development. The transcriptional profile of these unique DP cells reflects enrichment of innate-like signature genes, including PLZF (Zbtb16) and Granzyme A (Gzma). Results from these genetic models and genome-wide analyses suggest that Id proteins suppress E2A-driven innate-like T cell programs prior to TCR selection to enforce predominance of conventional T cells.

UTX controls lineage-specific epigenetic program of iNKT cells

Project description:iNKT cells are innate-like lymphocytes that protect against infection, autoimmune disease, and cancer. However, little is known about epigenetic regulation of iNKT cell development. Here, we show that the H3K27me3 histone demethylase UTX is an essential cell-intrinsic factor that controls an iNKT lineage specific gene expression program and epigenetic landscape in a demethylase activity dependent manner. UTX deficient iNKT cells exhibit impaired expression of iNKT signature genes due to a decrease in activation-associated H3K4me3 and an increase in repressive H3K27me3 marks within the promoters that UTX occupies. Notably, we identified JunB as a novel regulator of iNKT development that partners with UTX to establish an iNKT lineage specific gene expression program. Moreover, we demonstrate that UTX-mediated regulation of super-enhancer accessibility is a key mechanism for iNKT lineage commitment. These findings uncover how UTX regulates iNKT cell development through multiple epigenetic mechanisms.

Transcriptome analysis of Bcl11b-deficient MAIT cells at steady state and infection

Project description:Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, already differentiated and located at mucosal sites, are critical in the body’s first wave of defenses against invading pathogens. Bcl11b KO MAIT cells fail to be maintained both in the thymus and peripheral organs. Furthermore, MAIT cells fail to fully develop in the thymus without Bcl11b, failing to upregulate RORγt, and that phenotype remains in the lungs and livers of these mice. Bcl11b deletion in MAIT cells causes dramatic shifts in the activation and TH17 programs, due to the binding of Bcl11b in many of those genes, which we have seen in the human MAIT cells. MAIT cells rely on PLZF and RORγt for their development and function, while also heavily relying on Bcl11b. These data show the key interplay of Bcl11b with PLZF and RORγt in a T cell leading to its development and necessary function to protect the body against diseases.

Single-cell RNA-seq of mouse thymus iNKT cells

Project description:Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) cells are innate-like T cells, selected from thymic cortex-resident CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes. Despite major advances in the understanding of iNKT cells development, the heterogeneity of iNKT subsets and underlying molecular programs that guide iNKT cell-lineage remain unclear.
