Gene Regulatory Programs that Specify Age-Related Differences during Thymocyte Development (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: T cell development is fundamental to immune system establishment, yet how this development changes with age remains poorly understood. Here, we construct a transcriptional and epigenetic atlas of T cell developmental programs in neonatal and adult mice, revealing the ontogeny of divergent gene regulatory programs. We identify a gene module that diverges with age from the earliest stages of genesis and includes programs that govern effector response and cell cycle regulation. Interestingly, the epigenetic atlas reveals that neonates possess more accessible chromatin during early thymocyte development, likely establishing poised gene expression programs that manifest later in thymocyte development. Finally, we leverage this atlas, employing a CRISPR-based perturbation approach coupled with single-cell RNA sequencing as a readout to uncover a conserved transcriptional regulator, Zbtb20, that contributes to age-dependent differences in T cell development. Taken together, our study defines transcriptional and epigenetic programs that regulate age-specific differences in T-cell development.

Characterizing control of memory CD8 T cell differentiation by BTB-ZF transcription factor Zbtb20 using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Members of the BTB-ZF transcription factor family regulate the immune system. Our lab identified that family member Zbtb20 contributes to the differentiation, recall responses and metabolism of CD8 T cells. Here, we report a characterization of the transcriptional and epigenetic signatures controlled by Zbtb20 at single-cell resolution during the effector and memory phases of the CD8 T cell response. Without Zbtb20, transcriptional programs associated with memory CD8 T cell formation were upregulated throughout the CD8 T response. A signature of open chromatin was associated with genes controlling T cell activation, consistent with the known impact on differentiation. Additionally, memory CD8 T cells lacking Zbtb20 were characterized by open chromatin regions with overrepresentation of AP-1 transcription factor motifs and elevated RNA- and protein-level expression of the corresponding AP-1 components. Finally, we describe motifs and genomic annotations from the DNA targets of Zbtb20 in CD8 T cells identified by CUT&RUN. Together, these data establish the transcriptional and epigenetic networks contributing to the control of CD8 T cell responses by Zbtb20.

Expression data from P2 mouse hippocampus

Project description:Zinc finger protein ZBTB20 plays a critical role in mouse hippocampal development by orchestrating gene expression profile of hippocampal neurons. We used microarrays to investigate the target gene of ZBTB20 in mouse hippocampal development. Mouse hippocampi were harvested at postnatal day 2 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify the target genes of transcription factor ZBTB20 in hippocampal development. To that end, we isolated the hippocampi from ZBTB20 knockout and their littermate control mice.

SUMOylation controls the neurodevelopmental function of the transcription factor Zbtb20

Project description:SUMOylation is a dynamic post-translational protein modification that primarily takes place in cell nuclei, where it plays a key role in multiple DNA-related processes. In brain cells, and particularly in neurons, mostly nuclear proteins are SUMOylated, and the SUMOylation-dependent control of a subset of neuronal transcription factors is known to regulate various aspects of nerve cell differentiation, development, and function. In an unbiased screen for endogenous SUMOylation targets in the developing mouse brain, we previously identified the transcription factor Zbtb20 as a new SUMO1 conjugate. We show here that the three key SUMO paralogues SUMO1, SUMO2, and SUMO3 can all be conjugated to Zbtb20 in vitro, and we confirm the SUMOylation of Zbtb20 in vivo. Using primary hippocampal neurons as a model system, we then demonstrate that the expression of Zbtb20 is required for proper nerve cell development and neurite growth and branching. Furthermore, we show that the SUMOylation of Zbtb20 is essential for Zbtb20 function in this context, and provide evidence indicating that SUMOylation affects the Zbtb20-dependent transcriptional profile of neurons. Taken together, our data highlight the role of SUMOylation in the regulation of neuronal transcription factors that determine nerve cell development. Specifically, our data demonstrate that key functions of the transcription factor Zbtb20 in neuronal development and neurite growth are under the obligatory control of SUMOylation.
