Mettl14-dependent m6A modification controls iNKT cells development and function by regulating p53-dependent apoptosis pathway and TCR signaling

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common modification to mRNA in mammalian cells linked to development and disease. m6A controls CD4+ T cell homeostasis by targeting the IL-7/STAT5/SOCS family pathway and sustains Treg suppressive function. However, the role of m6A modification in non-conventional T cell development and function remains unknown. Here we showed that m6A modification was indispensable for NKT cell homeostasis using mice with T cell-specific deletion of RNA methylation writer METTL14 (T-Mettl14-/-). Loss of METTL14-dependent m6A modification led to the upregulation of p53-mediated apoptosis in double-positive (DP) thymocytes. The decreased lifespan of DP thymocytes reduced the efficiency of distal Va-Ja rearrangement, including the invariant Va14-Ja18 TCR, and therefore led to a profound decrease in the iNKT cell population. The residual iNKT cells in T-Mettl14-/- mice exhibited increased apoptosis and impaired maturation. In addition, loss of METTL14 upregulated Cish expression, which contributed to decreased proliferative response to IL-2 and IL-15 and impaired cytokine production upon TCR stimulation in METTL14-deficient iNKT cells. Furthermore, knocking down METTL14 in mature iNKT cells diminished their cytokine production, correlated with increased Cish expression and decreased TCR signaling. Collectively, our data reveals a critical role for METTL14- dependent-m6A modification in iNKT cell development and function, highlighting the need to take this effect into consideration for targeting m6A pathway in therapeutic settings.

m6A modification in DP and iNKT cells

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a specific innate-like counterpart of T lymphocytes, which response to lipid-based antigens and provide a functional bridge between the innate and adaptive immunity. The physiological role of m6A modification involved in NK cells differentiation remains unclear. We found that N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 is intrinsically required for iNKT cell development and function in an m6A-dependent manner. To investigate the molecular mechanisms, m6A-LACE-seq was performed using iNKT cells and Merip-seq was performed using DP cells in thymocytes isolated from WT and KO mice to investigate the regulatory network.

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

Project description: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.

Expression data from DP cells in the thymus of SRSF1-null and wild type mice

Project description:iNKT cells are highly conserved innate-like T lymphocytes that develop from CD4+CD8+ DP cells. It remains largely unknown whether post-transcriptional regulation has critical roles in iNKT cells. Here we show conditional deactivation of SRSF1 in DP thymocytes impaired iNKT cell development and survival in a cell-intrinsic manner.

Widespread N6-methyladenosine-dependent RNA Structural Switches Regulate RNA-Protein Interactions

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Chromatin assembly factor 1B critically controls early development but not functional acquisition of iNKT cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:T cell development is a complicatedly hierarchical process which is closely related with the chromatin activation and gene transcription. CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes give rise to both conventional TCRαβ+ T cells and natural killer T cells, but they display different characteristics. Compared with conventional TCRαβ+ T cells, invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) as the major population of NKT cells, are CD1d-restricted, recognize glycolipid antigens and rapidly exert effector functions after stimulation. However, the specific molecular mechanism of early iNKT cell development remain incompletely understood. Here the authors show that deletion of Chromatin assembly factor 1B (CHAF1b) remains the normal development of conventional TCRαβ+ T cell, but specifically impacts iNKT cell generation and completely impairs iNKT cell development from stage 0 with a PLZF independent way. This dysregulation is accompanied by a specific decrease in gene transcription of Vα14-Jα18, an impairment in TCR signaling and PLZF expression. Notably, ectopic expression of a transgenic Vα14-Jα18 TCR completely rescues these defects in Chaf1b-deficient iNKT cells. Moreover, cytokine secretion and anti-tumor activity are substantially maintained in Chaf1b-deficient iNKT cells with transgenic Vα14-Jα18 TCR. Our study identifies CHAF1b as a distinct regulator controls early development of iNKT cells via transcriptional regulation of Vα14-Jα18.

HDAC3 restrains cytokine signaling during thymocyte development for the generation of CD4 T cells (RNA-Seq)

Project description:CD4 and CD8 T cells are vital components of the immune system. According to the kinetic signaling model, commitment to the CD4 or CD8 lineage is determined by whether persistent TCR signaling or cytokine signaling predominates, respectively. We found histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is critical for the development of CD4 T cells, as its deletion leads to the generation of only CD8SP thymocytes. In the absence of HDAC3, MHC Class II-restricted OT-II thymocytes are redirected to the CD8 cytotoxic lineage. Analysis of histone acetylation and RNA-seq reveals HDAC3-deficient DP thymocytes are biased towards the CD8 lineage prior to positive selection. In addition, HDAC3-deficient DP thymocytes have increased IL-21R expression and STAT5 activation. As a result, HDAC3 is required to restrain cytokine signaling in DP thymocytes and is required for the generation of CD4 T cells.
