Chromatin organizer SATB1 controls the cell identity of CD4+ CD8+ double-positive thymocytes by compacting super-enhancers

ABSTRACT: CD4+ and CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes are at a critical stage during the T cell development in thymus. DP cells rearrange the T cell receptor gene Tcra to generate T cell receptors with TCR. Then DP cells differentiate into CD4 or CD8 single-positive (SP) thymocytes, Regulatory T cells, or invariant nature kill T cells (iNKT) according to the TCR signal. Chromatin organizer SATB1 is highly expressed in DP cells and plays an essential role in regulating Tcra rearrangement and differentiation of DP cells. Here we explored the mechanism of SATB1 orchestrating gene expression in DP cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing assay of SATB1-deficient thymocytes showed that the cell identity of DP thymocytes was changed, and the genes specifically highly expressed in DP cells were down-regulated. ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data showed the similar tendency. The super-enhancers regulate the expressions of the DP-specific genes, and the SATB1 deficiency reduced the super-enhancer activity. Hi-C data showed that interactions in super-enhancers and between super-enhancers and promoters decreased in SATB1 deficient thymocytes. We further explored the regulation mechanism of two SATB1-regulating genes, ETS2 and Bcl6, in DP cells and found that the knockout of the super-enhancers of these two genes impaired the development of DP cells. Our research reveals that SATB1 globally regulates super-enhancers of DP cells and promotes the establishment of DP cell identity, which helps understand the role of SATB1 in thymocyte development.

An anti-silencer- and SATB1-dependent chromatin hub regulates Rag1 and Rag2 gene expression during thymocyte development

Project description:Rag1 and Rag2 gene expression in CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes depends on the activity of a distant anti-silencer element (ASE) that counteracts the activity of an intergenic silencer. However, the mechanistic basis for ASE activity is unknown. Here we show that the ASE physically interacts with the distant Rag1 and Rag2 gene promoters in DP thymocytes, bringing the two promoters together to form an active chromatin hub. Moreover, we show that the ASE functions as a classical enhancer that can potently activate these promoters in the absence of the silencer or other locus elements. In thymocytes lacking the chromatin organizer SATB1, we identified a partial defect in Tcra gene rearrangement that was associated with reduced expression of Rag1 and Rag2 at the DP stage. SATB1 binds to the ASE and Rag promoters, facilitating inclusion of Rag2 in the chromatin hub and the loading of RNA polymerase II to both the Rag1 and Rag2 promoters. Our results provide a novel framework for understanding ASE function and demonstrate a novel role for SATB1 as a regulator of Rag locus organization and gene expression in DP thymocytes.

ROR t directs upregulation of RAG gene expression in DP thymocytes and serves as a multi-faceted regulator of the Tcra repertoire.

Project description:Naik et al. show that RAG gene upregulation in DP Thymocytes is controlled by DPASE, a DP-specific open chromatin region in RAG locus. Reduced RAG expression in DPASE KO mice result delayed and incomplete Tcra recombination. Transcription factor RORyt binds to DPASE and Tcra enhancer to regulate Tcra recombination in DP thymocytes.

Expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes

Project description:Review on the role of Bcl11b in thymus and periphery and impact on diseases RNA was extracted from DP thymocytes of bcl11bf/fCd4cre/tcra-/- and tcra-/- mice. Tcra-/- mice only have preselected DP thymocytes. Such mice were used to determine the role of Bcl11b before selection, considering the defective positive selection in bcl11bf/fcd4cre mice. RNA was isolated and submitted for library generation and microarray analysis to determine expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes.

Expression data from BDC2.5 TCR Tg, preselected Rag-/-.B6 and Rag-/-.NOD.H2b thymocytes upon antigenic stimulation

Project description:The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of NOD genetic vatiation on thymic negative selection transcriptional programs. Pre-selected BDC2.5 TCR Tg DP thymocytes from non-selecting B6 and NOD.H2b backgrounds were purified (Dynal CD8 FlowComp), mixed in a 1:1 ratio and stimulated with BDC mimotope-loaded TCRa-/-/NOD splenocytes for indicated periods of time and double sorted by FACS as Thy1.2+Dump-CD4+CD8+; Dump includes CD19, Gr1, CD11b, CD11c, CD49b. Following cell sorting into trizol, RNA was purified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays. experiment type: unstimulated versus stimulated BDC/B6.Rag-/- and BDC/NOD.H2b.Rag-/- DP thymocytes

The Role of Satb1 in Shaping the Repertoire of T Cell Receptor Genes

Project description:To explore the role of Satb1 in rearrangement and repertoire of TCR genes, we used Satb1contional knockout micwhich the Satb1 gene was deleted in long term hematopoietic stem cells. We applied 5ʹRACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) PCR technique to generate deep sequencing libraries of Tcrd, Tcrg, Tcrb, and Tcra cDNA by using a single set of primers for each TCR gene. We obtained millions of TCR sequences and unraveled the complexity of T-cell diversity. Our experimental evidence demonstrates that Satb1 has substantial influences on the TCR repertoire.

Tcrd rearrangement redirects a processive Tcra recombination program to expand the Tcra repertoire

Project description:The Tcra-Tcrd locus undergoes Tcrd rearrangement in DN thymocytes followed by primary and secondary Tcra rearrangements in DP thymocytes. Here we reveal the mechanisms underpinning combinatorial diversity in the Tcra repertoire. We show that V-alpha and J-alpha segments on individual Tcra alleles are used in stepwise and coordinated proximal-to-distal progressions during primary and secondary rearrangements, substantially constraining combinatorial diversity. Notably, Tcrd recombination in DN thymocytes diversifies the Tcra repertoire by truncating the V-alpha array to permit otherwise disfavored V-J combinations. Such diversification is important, because Trav1-Traj33+ mucosa-associated invariant T cells are depleted when Tcrd rearrangement is impaired. Our results reveal an important biological advantage conferred by the nested organization of Tcrd and Tcra gene segments.

Glycosylation change in mouse CD8 T cells during development

Project description:Dr. Jameson's research focus is on development and regulation of lymphocytes, especially T cells. Recent work has suggested that differential glycosylation effects the sensitivity of the T cell receptors and its coreceptors, suggesting that regulation of glycosylation may be a critical element in controlling T cell development, survival and functional activity. Determination of how glycosylation enzymes/substrates change in gene expression during development of mouse CD8 T cells. Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. The goal is to build on data suggesting that this developmental step involves regulated expression of sialyltransferases (and/or neuraminidases). Highly purified pre-selection CD4+8+ thymocytes (using transgenic/knockout mice in our colony) are compared to mature CD8 T cells from the lymph node. Pre-selection CD4+8+ (DP) thymocytes were sorted from TCRa-/- thymi. Post-selection (post-positive selection) DP thymocytes came from an OT-I TCR transgenic mouse. Naïve (CD44lo) CD8 T cells from lymph node of OT-I mice were used as naïve CD8 T cells. For activated cells, naïve OT-I T cells were activated for 48 hours in vitro with cognate antigen (SIINFEKL peptide/Kb) (displayed on cell sized latex beads) in the presence of IL-2 and IL-12.
