Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of human CD4+ T helper cells define epigenetic signatures for Th1, Th17 and non-classic Th1 cells

ABSTRACT: Naive CD4+ T cells are highly plastic cells that - upon activation - can differentiate into various T helper (Th) cell fates characterized by the expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines. Their expression can be stabilized by epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation. So far, our knowledge about the link between DNA methylation and T helper cell differentiation processes is fragmentary. In this study, we generated methylomes of CD4+ T helper cells by performing a whole-genome bisulfite sequencing analysis of ex vivo isolated human naïve T cells and selected clones of Th1, non-classic Th1 and Th17 cells. The pairwise comparison of the methylomes identified differentially methylated regions (DMRs) mainly located within introns, followed by promoter regions and exons. In accordance with literature, several DMRs were identified within lineage-specific loci like IFNG, TBX21, IL-17A and RORC. Thus, the identified DMRs are suitable to further characterize the T helper lineages and might be helpful to define lineage-specific regulatory modules involved in human T helper cell differentiation.

Genome-wide methylation analysis of murine CD4+ Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells

Project description:T helper cells play an essential role in supporting immune reactions as a part of the adaptive immune system. During activation, naive CD4+ T cells can differentiate into various types of effector T cells, each defined by the expression of lineage-specific transcription factors and secretion of specific cytokines. The three main effector/memory cells were classified as T helper 1 (Th1), 2 (Th2) or 17 (Th17) cells, expressing T-bet, Gata3 or Ror gamma t, respectively. Differentiation into a specific T helper lineage is accompanied with durable transcriptional changes partially regulated by epigenetic mechanisms like changes in DNA methylation. Comparing the methylomes of CD4+ memory T cells opens up the chance to identify accessible, functionally relevant gene loci that would have been overlooked in an RNA-seq approach because their transcription depends on inflammatory stimuli. Because studies have shown that in vitro induced T helper cells do not completely match in vivo generated cells, we sorted ex vivo Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells from spleen and lymph nodes of healthy mice, and performed a bisulfite sequencing (Bi-Seq). The pairwise comparison of the methylomes identified differential methylated regions (DMRs) in known epigenetically regulated genes like Tbx21, Ifng, Gata3, Il4, and Ccr6, as well as in loci not known to be epigenetically regulated like Ccr8, Lck or NfkB1.

Gene expression profiling of human CD4+T cell subsets: comparison of naive T cells, T helper 1 and T helper 17 cells.

Project description:Naive CD4+T cells are highly plastic cells that - upon activation - can differentiate into various T helper (Th) cell fates characterized by the expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines. Their expression can be stabilized by epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation. So far, our knowledge about the link between DNA methylation and T helper cell differentiation processes is fragmentary. After the identification of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in human T helper cells we enlarged the characterization by analysing the transcriptome of ex vivo isolated and sorted naive T cells, Th1 and Th17 cells. This enables us to study the differential gene expression among CD4+T helper subsets, identify links between transcriptome and methylome, and search for expressed transcription factors that could bind to DMRs.

Reference proteome of highly purified human Th1 cells reveals strong effects on metabolism and protein ubiquitination upon differentiation

Project description:The differentiation of human CD4+ T cells into different subtypes of T helper cells and regulatory T cells is crucial for an appropriate immunological response. Among all subtypes Th1 cells are the most prominent specific cell type, representing about 50% of all lymphocytes. So far most global proteomic studies have used either only partially purified T helper cell subpopulations and/or have employed artificial protocols for inducing specific T helper cell subtypes and/or applied gel based approaches. These studies have shed light on molecular details of certain aspects of the proteome. Nevertheless a more global analysis of highly pure primary naïve and Th1 cells by LC-MS/MS is needed in order to contribute to the proteome based T cell subtype characterization. We were able to identify 1757 proteins in total, out of which 49 were significantly regulated. The utilization of highly purified Th1 cells for a global proteome assessment and the bioinformatical comparison to naïve cells reveals the relevance of changes in the metabolism and the ubiquitination pathways upon T cell differentiation.

Puniya2021 - CD4+ Th1 cell metabolic model

Project description:CD4+ T cells are critical components in the human immune system. They produce cytokines to fight against pathogens and abnormal cells and stimulate other cells, such as B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, to generate an immune response. T helper 1 (Th1) cells are subtypes of CD4+ T cells that differentiate from naive CD4+ T cells in a specific cytokine environment. The Th1 cell model consists of 3956 reactions, 2517 metabolites, and 1133 genes. CD4+ T cell models helped identify drug targets and repurposable drugs against autoimmune diseases.

P2X7 signaling drives Th1 cell differentiation through metabolic reprogramming for aerobic glycolysis

Project description:This study provides evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which P2RX7 signaling promotes Th1 cell differentiation. P2RX7 induces T-bet expression and aerobic glycolysis in splenic CD4+ T cells that respond to malaria, at a time prior to Th1/Tfh polarization. Cell-intrinsic P2RX7 signaling sustains the glycolytic pathway and causes bioenergetic mitochondrial stress in activated CD4+ T cells. We also show in vitro the phenotypic similarities of Th1-polarized CD4+ T cells that do not express P2RX7 and those in which the glycolytic pathway is pharmacologically inhibited. In addition, ATP synthase blockade in vitro and the consequent inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, which forces cells to use aerobic glycolysis, is sufficient to promote rapid CD4+ T cell proliferation and polarization to the Th1 profile in the absence of P2RX7. These data demonstrate that P2RX7-mediated metabolic reprograming for aerobic glycolysis is a key event for Th1 cell differentiation and suggest that ATP synthase inhibition is a fundamental mechanism by which P2X7 signaling induces the Th1 response.

Impact of Acute methionine restriction on proteome of Th1 cells - Part 2

Project description:CD4 T cells were activated using CD3/CD28 antibodies in the presence of IL2 and IL12, to generate Th1 cells. Th1 cells were maintained and expanded in IL2 and IL12, on D5 Th1 cells were sorted for CD4+ expression and DAP1 exclusion. After flow sorting, live TH1 cells were resuspended (1e6 per ml) in methionine free RPMI, supplemented with 10% dialysed FBS, IL2 and IL12, and with L-methionine (100μM, or 1μM). Cells were cultured for 5 hrs before collection for proteomics processing.

RNA-seq of CD4+ Helper T cell subsets (Th1 and Tfh) during LCMV-Armstrong infection

Project description:CD4+ memory T cells play a pivatol role in mediating long-term immunity and therefore are an important target in vaccine development. Multiple functionally distinct helper CD4+ T cell subsets can arise in response to a single invading pathogen, complicating the identification of rare memory CD4+ T cells. Here we found that expression of Id3, an inhibitor of E protein transcription factors, identified a population of cells within both the CD4+ Tfh and Th1 helper lineages that exhibited memory potential in response to secondary infection. Notably, a subset of Th1 memory cells expressing Id3 exhibited enhanced expansion upon response to pathogen, generating both Th1 and Tfh secondary effector cell populations, and displayed enrichment of key molecules associated with memory potential when compared to Id3lo Th1 cells. Thus, Id3 expression serves as an important marker of multipotent memory CD4+ T cells.

Expression data from human Th1 and Th2 cells

Project description:T-helper cells differentiate from naÃ¯ve precursors into multiple lineages, including Th1, Th2, Th17 and inducible Treg, in humans and mice. The identification of each lineage is currently determined by examination of a small number of genes encoding hallmark cytokines and/or transcription factors in both species To gain a better understanding of human T-helper cell function we have performed detailed transcriptional profiling of highly polarized Th1 and Th2 cells in both resting and activated states examining gene and miRNA expression NaÃ¯ve CD4 positive T-cells were isolated from peripheral blood of three different human donors. Cells were differenitated into Th1 and Th2 cells in vitro for 28 days to achieve homogeneous cell lineages. Samples were taken at resting state or activated for 4 hours with PMA/Ionomycin.
