Transcriptomic analysis of WT versus Ikzf4-/- CD4+ T cells cultured in Th2-polarizing conditions

ABSTRACT: The Ikaros zinc finger transcription factor Eos has been commonly implicated in regulatory T cells to promote their immunosuppressive functions. Paradoxically, a new role is emerging for Eos in promoting pro-inflammatory responses of conventional CD4+ T cells in the dysregulated setting of autoimmunity. Even so, the precise role of Eos in regulating the differentiation and function of healthy effector CD4+ T cell subsets remains unclear. Here, we find that Eos is a positive regulator of CD4+ T helper 2 (TH2) cells—effector T cells implicated in the induction of allergic asthma. Using murine in vitro TH2 cells and an in vivo house dust mite asthma model, we found that Eos-deficient T cells had reduced expression of key TH2 transcription factors, effector cytokines, and differentiation receptors. Mechanistically, among various TH2-polarizing pathways, the IL-2/STAT5 axis and its downstream TH2 gene targets emerged as one of the most significantly downregulated networks in Eos deficiency. Using in vitro TH2 cells and overexpression of Eos zinc-finger-domain mutants, we discovered that Eos forms a novel complex with and supports the tyrosine-phosphorylated signaling activity of STAT5. Overall, these data define a novel regulatory mechanism whereby Eos promotes IL-2/STAT5 activity to facilitate TH2 differentiation.

Transcriptome analysis of Bcl11b-deficient CD4+ T-cells during Th2 immune response

Project description:Naïve CD4+ T-helper cells differentiate into Th2 effector cells during asthma and helminth (worm) infection. Here, we report that mice lacking the transcription factor Bcl11b in mature CD4+ T-cells are incapable of mounting an effective Th2 response in asthma and worm infection, with a major reduction of Th2 cytokine secretion and GATA3 expression. We found that Bcl11b exerts its role in Th2 differentiation through several avenues: (1) association with intronic regions at the Gata3 locus, sustaining GATA3 expression; (2) binding to and restricting chromatin accessibility at the Il4 silencer, located at hypersensitivity site (HS) IV; and (3) restricting Runx3 expression by association with a regulatory region 5’ of Runx3. Thus, in the absence of Bcl11b, the reduction in GATA3 levels combined with increased Runx3 levels and activity at Il4 HS IV silencer and consequently diminished IL-4 expression. This results in reduced chromatin opening at the Th2 locus control region (LCR), Il13 and Il5 promoters, subsequently preventing expression of Th2 cytokine genes and Th2 differentiation. Our results establish a novel role for Bcl11b in the regulatory loop critical for licensing the Th2 program in vivo.

Profiling of human CD4+ T subsets identifies a Th2-specific non-coding RNA GATA3-AS1

Project description:Host defense against diverse pathogens involves the recruitment and differentiation of CD4+ T effector subsets including T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, Th17 and induced regulatory T (Treg) cells. Surface phenotype studies have revealed subset-specific surface markers for the identification and purification of human primary CD4+ T effector subsets. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the mRNA and large intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) expression differences between human primary CD4+ T effector subsets and identify potential subset-specific genes. To achieve this goal, mRNA and lincRNA microarray profiling of flow cytometry-sorted human primary Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells was performed. Principal component and pathway analyses revealed subset-specific gene expression patterns. A Th2-specific lincRNA, GATA3-AS1, also termed FLJ45983, was identified in primary immune cells and tissues, as well as in in vitro polarized CD4+ T effector subsets. Further analysis showed that GATA3-AS1 was a potential diagnostic marker in allergy, a Th2-associated disease. This first systematic genome-wide analysis of gene expression differences between primary CD4+ T effector subsets may help to identify novel regulatory protein-coding genes and lincRNAs regulating CD4+ T cell subset differentiation, as well as potential diagnostic markers. As an example, we identified a GATA3-associated Th2-specific marker lincRNA GATA3-AS1. Gene expression microarray analysis of flow-cytometry sorted human primary naÃ¯ve CD4+ T cells, CD4+ T central memory cells, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells from buffy coat of four healthy controls Gene expression microarray analysis was performed using SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8X60K microarray.

Spatial microniches of IL-2 synergize with IL-10 to drive lung migratory Th2 cells in response to inhaled allergen [Spatial transcriptomics]

Project description:The mechanisms that guide Th2 cell differentiation in barrier tissues are unclear but important for the development of allergic asthma. Using temporal, spatial and single cell transcriptomic tracking of house dust mite (HDM) specific T cells, we describe the molecular pathways driving allergen-specific Th2 cells. Early Blimp-1 expression occurs in a subset of CD4 T cells in the lymph node prior to lung migration driven by IL-10 from allergen-specific T cells, but was not required for GATA3 upregulation. Instead, IL-2 via STAT5 was required to directly repress Bcl6 and Bach2 to support GATA3 and Blimp-1 upregulation. Loss of Blimp-1 during priming in the lymph node ablated the formation of Th2 cells that migrate to the lung, indicating early Blimp-1 promotes the population of Th2 cells with migratory capability. Spatial microniches of IL-2 in the lymph node discriminate and support these earliest Blimp-1+ migratory Th2 cells, demonstrating that lymph node localization is a primary driver of differentiation. Our findings illuminate the molecular pathways for inhaled allergens to promote Th2 cells and identify an early requirement for IL-2 mediated spatial microniches and allergen-driven IL-10 from responding T cells that drive allergic asthma.

Programming of a pathogenic Th2 state by TSLP signaling in CD4+ T cells

Project description:Pathogenesis of allergic diseases including asthma is strongly associated with robust responses of allergen-specific Th2 cells, which produce high levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13. Despite evidence for pathogenic Th2 cells in the induction and propagation of allergic disorders, signals required for differentiation of such cells remain largely unknown. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine that is expressed upon epithelial injury, dysfunction or infection and is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. Although indirect regulation of Th2 differentiation via TSLP-stimulated dendritic cells well known, direct effects of TSLP on Th2 differentiation in vivo have not been rigorously analyzed. We show that TSLP may initiate Th2 response independent on IL-4 signal and increases sensitivity of CD4 cells to IL-4 stimulation inducing more robust expression of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 by human and mouse CD4 cells. This more potent effector state appears to be stably programmed in memory Th2 cells. As part of molecular mechanism, we demonstrate that TSLP and IL-4 signals induce distinctive genome wide alterations in activating histone modification (H3K27Ac, H3K36Me3, and H3K4Me3). We propose that TSLP acts in coordination with IL-4 to generate a more potent Th2 state that could underlie persistence and propagation of allergic disorders.
