Plasticity and lineage commitment of individual Th1 cells are determined by stable T-bet expression quantities (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: T helper 1 (Th1) cell identity is defined by the expression of the lineage-specifying transcription factor T-bet. Here, we examine the influence of T-bet expression heterogeneity on subset plasticity by leveraging cell sorting of distinct in vivo-differentiated Th1 cells based on their quantitative expression of T bet and interferon . Heterogeneous T bet expression states were regulated by virus induced type I interferons and were stably maintained even after secondary viral infection. Exposed to alternative differentiation signals, the sorted subpopulations exhibited graded levels of plasticity, particularly toward the Th2 lineage: T bet quantities were inversely correlated with the ability to express the Th2 lineage-specifying transcription factor GATA 3 and Th2 cytokines. Reprogramed Th1 cells acquired graded, but stable mixed Th1+2 phenotypes with a hybrid epigenetic landscape. Continuous presence of T-bet in differentiated Th1 cells was essential to ensure Th1 cell stability. Thus, innate cytokine signals regulate Th1 cell plasticity via an individual cell-intrinsic rheostat to enable T cell subset adaptation to subsequent challenges.

T-bet recruits P-TEFb to super-enhancers to regulate T helper cell differentiation (Agilent 1)

Project description:The transcription factor T-bet induces differentiation of CD4+ T cells into the Th1 lineage and also allows for a degree of functional plasticity. Here, we show that T-bet acts through super-enhancers to recruit the elongation factor P-TEFb. Th1-specific genes are poised for activation in Th2 cells and P-TEFb recruitment activates transcriptional elongation. T-bet also induces extensive P-TEFb binding at super-enhancers, where it acts to stimulate enhancer RNA transcription. P-TEFb inhibition selectively blocks activation of lineage-specific genes and reverses Th1-associated retinitis pathology. T-bet-mediated recruitment of P-TEFb to super-enhancers at otherwise poised genes provides a model for how lineage-specifying factors promote differentiation towards specific cell fates whilst maintaining a degree of functional plasticity.

Genome-wide identification of functional elements regulated by T-bet and GATA3 in human T-cells

Project description:T-bet and GATA3 induce differentiation of CD4+ T-cells into Th1 or Th2 effectors. These exhibit a range of different properties but understanding of T-bet and GATA3 function is mostly limited to the murine Ifng and Il4/Il5/Il13 loci. We hypothesised that extending such analyses across the human genome would allow further insight into T-bet and GATA3 function. We have discovered that T-bet and GATA3 bind to multiple distal sites at a set of key immune regulatory genes. These sites display markers of functional elements, act as enhancers in reporter assays and are associated with lineage-specific expression regulated by T-bet and GATA3. Our approach also reveals that GATA3 is distributed at T-bet binding sites in Th1 cells and that T-bet directly activates its own expression. We propose that these aspects of T-bet and GATA3 function are critical for Th1/ Th2 differentiation and provide a model for the relationship between other lineage-specific regulators. ChIP was performed using antibody against T-bet in Th1 cells and against GATA3 in Th1 cells as well as Th2 cells. A sample of whole cell extract (WCE) from Th1 cells and Th2 cells was sequenced. Th1 WCE was used as the background to determine enrichment.

T-bet activates poised Th1 genes through Mediator and the Super Elongation Complex [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The transcription factor T-bet directs Th1 cell differentiation, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie this lineage-specific gene regulation are not completely understood. Here, we show that T-bet acts through super-enhancers in human and mouse Th1 cells to recruit Mediator and P-TEFb in the form of the super elongation complex (SEC). Th1-specific genes are poised in Th2 cells while T-bet-mediated recruitment of P-TEFb in Th1 cells activates transcriptional elongation. P-TEFb is recruited to both genes and super-enhancers, where it activates enhancer RNA transcription. P-TEFb inhibition and Mediator and SEC knockdown selectively block activation of T-bet target genes and P-TEFb inhibition abrogates Th1-associated experimental autoimmune uveitis. T-bet activity is independent of changes in NF-κB RelA and Brd4 binding, but T-bet- and NF-κB-mediated pathways converge to allow P-TEFb recruitment. These data support a model in which lineage-specifying factors allow recruitment of P-TEFb to poised genes to promote differentiation of alternative T cell fates.

The Transcription Factor T-bet Is Induced by Multiple Pathways and Prevents an Endogenous Th2 Cell Program during Th1 Cell Responses

Project description:T-bet is a critical transcription factor for T helper 1 (Th1) cell differentiation. To study the regulation and functions of T-bet, we developed a T-bet-ZsGreen reporter mouse strain, in which GFP faithfully reflects the expression of T-bet. By using this tool, we report that signals elicited by IL-12 and IFNg are redundant in inducing T-bet in mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii and that T-bet does not contribute to its own expression when induced by IL-12 and IFNg. While both T-bet and Stat4 are critical for IFNg production, IFNg signaling is dispensable. Strikingly, loss of T-bet results in activation of an endogenous Th2 program in cells expressing T-bet-ZsGreen. Genome-wide analyses suggest T-bet directly induces Th1-related genes but indirectly suppresses Th2-related genes. Our study revealed redundancy and synergy among several Th1-inducing pathways in regulating the expression of T-bet and IFNg, and a critical role of T-bet in suppressing an endogenous Th2 program. RNA-Seq experiments were performed using total RNAs isolated from both wild type and Tbx21-/- Th1 cells in duplicates. Tbet ChIP-seq was performed using wild type Th1 cells. H3K4me1 and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq was performed using both wild type and Tbx21-/- Th1 cells.

The polycomb protein Ezh2 regulates differentiation and plasticity of CD4 T helper type-1 and type-2 cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Following antigen encounter by CD4 T cells, polarizing cytokines induce the expression of master regulators that control differentiation. Inactivation of the histone methyltransferase Ezh2 was found to specifically enhance T-helper (Th)1 and Th2 cell differentiation and plasticity. Ezh2 directly bound and facilitated correct expression of Tbx21 and Gata3 in differentiating Th1 and Th2 cells, accompanied by substantial tri-methylation at lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27-Me3). In addition, Ezh2 deficiency resulted in spontaneous generation of discrete IFN-γ and Th2 cytokine-producing populations in non-polarizing cultures, and under these conditions IFN-γ expression was largely dependent on enhanced expression of the transcription factor Eomesodermin. In vivo, Loss of Ezh2 caused increased pathology in a model of allergic asthma and resulted in progressive accumulation of memory phenotype Th2 cells. This study establishes a functional link between Ezh2 and transcriptional regulation of lineage-specifying genes in terminally differentiated CD4 T cells. Examination of Ezh2 binding in Th1 and Th2 cells.

Methylation profiling of mouse T cells reveals epigenetic mechanisms underlie t cell plasticity

Project description:Multipotential naïve CD4+ T cells differentiate into distinct lineages including T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, Th17, and inducible T regulatory (iTreg) cells. The remarkable diversity of CD4+ T cells begs the question whether the observed changes reflect terminal differentiation with heritable epigenetic modifications or plasticity in T cell responses. We generated genome-wide histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation maps in naïve, Th1, Th2, Th17, iTreg, and natural (n)Treg cells. We found that although modifications of signature cytokine genes (Ifng, Il4, and Il17) partially conform to the expectation of lineage commitment, critical transcription factors such as Tbx21 exhibit a broad spectrum of epigenetic states, consistent with our demonstration of T-bet and IFN-? induction in nTreg cells. Our data suggest an epigenetic mechanism underlying the specificity and plasticity of effector and regulatory T cells and also provide a framework for understanding complexity of CD4+ T helper cell differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: Different T helper subsets are profiled for mRNA expression.
