Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the novel role of Ezh2 in NK cell maturation and function

ABSTRACT: Our previous work indicated that the Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (Ezh2) is a negative regulator of NK cell early differentiation and function by trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Here, we deleted Ezh2 from immature NK and downstream progeny to explore its role in NK cell maturation by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). We identified six distinct NK stages based on transcriptional signature during the maturation of NK cells. Conditional deletion of Ezh2 in NK cells resulted in the maturation trajectory of NK cell arrested in CD11b SP stage 5 which is clustered with genes related to activating function of NK cells. Mechanistically, we speculated that Ezh2 plays a critical role in NK development by activating gene expression of the AP-1 superfamily independent of PRC2 function. Our results implied a novel role for the Ezh2-AP-1-Klrg1 axis to alter NK cell maturation trajectory and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.

AP-2alpha-mediated activation of E2F and EZH2 drives melanoma metastasis [ChIP-seq]

Project description:In melanoma metastasis, the role of the AP-2alpha transcription factor, which is encoded by TFAP2A, is controversial as some findings have suggested tumor suppressor activity while other studies have shown high TFAP2A expression in node-positive melanoma associated with poor prognosis. Here we demonstrate that AP-2alpha facilitates melanoma metastasis through transcriptional activation of genes within the E2F pathway including EZH2. A BioID screen found that AP-2alpha interacts with members of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex. Loss of AP-2alpha removed activating chromatin marks in the promoters of EZH2 and other E2F target genes through activation of the NuRD repression complex. In melanoma cells, treatment witj tazemetostat, an FDA-approved and highly specific EZH2 inhibitor, substantially reduced anchorage-independent colony formation and demonstrated heritable anti-metastatic effects, which were dependent on AP-2alpha. Single cell RNA-seq analysis of a metastatic melanoma mouse model revealed hyperexpansion of Tfap2aHigh/E2F activated cell populations in transformed melanoma relative to progenitor melanocyte stem cells. These findings demonstrate that melanoma metastasis is driven by the AP-2alpha/EZH2 pathway and suggest that AP-2alpha expression can be used as a biomarker to predict responsiveness to EZH2 inhibitors for the treatment of advanced melanomas.

Novel non-canonical role of STAT1 in Natural Killer cell cytotoxicity

Project description:STAT1 is an important regulator of NK cell maturation and cytotoxicity. Although the consequences of Stat1-deficiency have been described in detail the underlying molecular functions of STAT1 in NK cells are only partially understood. Here we describe a novel non-canonical role of STAT1 that was unmasked in NK cells expressing Stat1-Y701F. This mutation prevents JAK-dependent phosphorylation, subsequent nuclear translocation and cytokine-induced transcriptional activity. As expected Stat1-Y701F mice displayed impaired NK cell maturation comparable to Stat1-/- animals. In contrast Stat1-Y701F NK cells exerted a significantly enhanced cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo suggesting a so-far unknown cytoplasmic function. Using immunofluorescence technology we uncovered the recruitment of STAT1 to the immunological synapse during NK cell killing. A Stat1ind mouse expressing FLAG-tagged STAT1α was used to study the STAT1α interactome in NK cells. Mass spectrometry revealed that STAT1 directly binds proteins involved in cell junction formation and proteins associated to membrane or membrane-bound vesicles. We propose a novel function for STAT1 in the immunological synapse of NK cells regulating tumor surveillance and cytotoxicity.

MicroRNA-15/16 Antagonizes c-Myb to Control Natural Killer Cell Maturation

Project description:NK cells develop in the bone marrow and complete their maturation in peripheral organs, but the molecular events controlling maturation are incompletely understood. Utilizing an NK cell-specific miR-15/16 deficient genetic model (15aKO), we identified a critical role for miR-15/16 family microRNAs in the normal maturation of NK cells in vivo, with a specific reduction in mature CD11b+CD27- NK cells in multiple tissues. The mechanism responsible was a block in differentiation, since accelerated NK cell death was not evident, and earlier intermediates of NK cell maturation were expanded. Further, we identified Myb as a direct target of miR-15/16 in NK cells, with Myb expression increased in immature 15aKO NK cells. Following adoptive transfer, immature 15aKO NK cells exhibited defective maturation, which was rescued by ectopic miR-15/16 expression or Myb knockdown. Moreover, Myb overexpression resulted in defective NK cell maturation. Thus, miR-15/16 regulation of Myb controls the normal NK cell maturation program. 3 technical replicates each of CD27+ 15a/16-1FKO NK cells, and CD27+ Ctrl NK cells

Nidogen-1 is a novel extracellular ligand for the NKp44 activating receptor

Project description:The release of soluble ligands of activating Natural Killer (NK) cell receptors may represent a regulatory mechanism of NK cell function both in physiologic and in pathologic conditions. Here, we identified the extracellular matrix protein Nidogen-1 (NID1) as a ligand of NKp44, an important activating receptor expressed by activated NK cells. When released as soluble molecule, NID1 can regulate NK cell function by modulating NKp44-induced IFN-γ production or cytotoxicity. We also show that NID1 may be present at the cell surface. In this form or when bound to a solid support (bNID1), NID1 failed to induce NK cell cytotoxicity or cytokine release. However, analysis by mass spectrometry revealed that exposure to bNID1 can induce relevant changes in the proteomic profiles suggesting an effect on different, biological processes of human NK cells.

BACH2 restricts NK cell maturation and function limiting immunity to cancer metastasis

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are critical to immune surveillance against infections and cancer. Their role in immune surveillance requires that NK cells are present within tissues in a quiescent state. Mechanisms by which NK cells remain quiescent in tissues are incompletely elucidated. The transcriptional repressor BACH2 plays a critical role within the adaptive immune system, but its function within innate lymphocytes has been unclear. Here, we show that BACH2 acts as an intrinsic negative regulator of NK cell maturation and function. BACH2 is expressed within developing and mature NK cells and promotes the maintenance of immature NK cells by restricting their maturation in the presence of weak stimulatory signals. Loss of BACH2 within NK cells results in accumulation of activated NK cells with unrestrained cytotoxic function within tissues, which mediate augmented immune surveillance to pulmonary cancer metastasis. These findings establish a critical function of BACH2 as a global negative regulator of innate cytotoxic function and tumor immune surveillance by NK cells.
