A unified network systems approach uncovers a core program underlying T follicular helper cell differentiation [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: We investigated Tfh cell differentiation across multiple levels of biological organization by integrating diverse data types through interpretable network-based approaches. Our multi-scale network framework successfully combines transcriptomic and epigenetic datasets, capturing known regulators of Tfh differentiation identified in numerous prior studies. Through this approach, we identify a core set of Tfh-associated genes that is conserved across various tissues and disease conditions. Although individual components of this core set have been reported previously, a central contribution of our study is the unbiased discovery and in-depth characterization of this conserved gene signature.

Quantitative Analysis of Global Proteome and Lysine Acetylome for Human CD4+ T Follicular Helper Cells

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) are a subset of CD4+ T helper cells that provide help to germinal center B cells and mediate the development of long-lived humoral immunity. Tfh cells dysregulation is associated with several major autoimmune diseases. Although recent studies showed Tfh cells differentiation is controlled by the transcription factor Bcl6, cytokines and cell-cell signals, limited information is available on the proteome and post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins in human Tfh cells. In this study, using TMT labeling technique, antibody-based affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis, we investigated quantitative proteome and acetylome in human naive CD4+ T cells and in vitro induced Tfh (iTfh) cells. In total, we identified 802 up-regulated proteins and 598 down-regulated proteins at the threshold of 1.5 folds in iTfh cells compared to naive CD4+ T cells. With the aid of intensive bioinformatics, biological process, cellular compartment, molecular function, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction of these differentially expressed proteins were revealed. Moreover, our acetylome data showed that 22 lysine acetylated proteins are up-regulated and 26 lysine acetylated proteins are down-regulated in iTfh cells compared to the naive CD4+ T cells, among which 11 differentially acetylated lysine residues in core histone were identified, indicating proteins acetylation and epigenetic mechanism are involved in regulating Tfh cells differentiation. These data provide a significant resource for studies of Tfh differentiation and normal and perturbed Tfh cell function.

Divergent cytokine and transcriptional signatures control functional T follicular helper cell heterogeneity (RNAseq)

Project description:CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells support tailored B cell responses against multiple classes of pathogens. To reveal how diverse Tfh phenotypes are established, we profiled Tfh cells in response to viral, helminth and bacterial infection. We identified a core Tfh signature that is distinct from CD4+ T follicular regulatory and effector cells and identified pathogen-specific transcriptional modules that shape Tfh function. Cytokine-transcriptional Tfh programming demonstrated that type I interferon and TGFbeta signaling direct individual Tfh phenotypes to instruct B cell output. Cytokine-directed Tfh transcriptional phenotypes are shared within human germinal centers (GCs), but distinct Tfh phenotypes dominate between donors and following immune challenge or in antibody-mediated disease. Finally, we identified novel cell surface markers that align with distinct Tfh phenotypes. Thus, we provide a comprehensive resource of Tfh diversity in humans and mice, to enable immune monitoring during infection and disease and to inform the development of context-specific vaccines.

A miR-23~27~24 regulon that controls follicular helper T cell differentiation

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are essential for generating protective humoral immunity. To date, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important players in regulating Tfh cell biology. Here, we show that loss of miR-23~27~24 clusters in T cells resulted in elevated Tfh cell frequencies upon different immune challenges whereas overexpression of this miRNA family led to reduced Tfh cell responses. Mechanistically, miR-23~27~24 clusters coordinately control Tfh cells through targeting a network of genes that are crucial for Tfh cell biology. Among them, thymocyte selection-associated HMG-box protein (TOX) was identified as a central transcription regulator in Tfh cell development. TOX is highly up-regulated in both mouse and human Tfh cells in a BCL6-dependent manner. In turn, TOX promotes the expression of multiple molecules that play critical roles in Tfh cell differentiation and function. Collectively, our study on miR-23~27~24-mediated control of humoral immunity reveals a TOX-driven regulatory circuit in orchestrating Tfh cell responses.

Expression Data from WT and Sh2d1a-/- in vivo follicular helper CD4 T cells (TFH) versus non follicular helper CD4 T cells (non-TFH)

Project description:CD4 T cell help is critical for both the generation and maintenance of germinal centers, and T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the CD4 T cell subset required for this process. SAP (SH2D1A) expression in CD4 T cells is essential for germinal center development. However, SAP-deficient mice have only a moderate defect in TFH differentiation as defined by common TFH surface markers. CXCR5+ TFH cells are found within the germinal center as well as along the boundary regions of T/B cell zones. Here we show that germinal center associated T cells (GC TFH) can be identified by their co-expression of CXCR5 and the GL7 epitope, allowing for phenotypic and functional analysis of TFH and GC TFH populations. Here we show GC TFH are a functionally discrete subset of further polarized TFH cells, with enhanced B cell help capacity and a specialized ability to produce IL-4 in a TH2-independent manner. Strikingly, SAP-deficient mice have an absence of the GC TFH subset and SAP- TFH are defective in IL-4 and IL-21 production. We further demonstrate that SLAM (Slamf1, CD150), a surface receptor that utilizes SAP signaling, is specifically required for IL-4 production by GC TFH. GC TFH cells require IL-4 and IL-21 production for optimal help to B cells. These data illustrate complexities of SAP-dependent SLAM family receptor signaling, revealing a prominent role for SLAM receptor ligation in IL-4 production by germinal center CD4 T cells but not in TFH and GC TFH differentiation. Analysis of in vivo antigen-specific (LCMV-specific, SMARTA TCR transgenic) WT and Sh2d1a-/- follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5high),versus non-follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5low), eight days after viral infection.
