Project description:Double-positive (DP) thymocytes respond to intrathymic TCR signals by undergoing positive selection and lineage differentiation into single-positive (SP) mature cells. Concomitant with these wellcharacterized events is the acquisition of a mature T cell gene expression program characterized by the induction of effector molecules IL-7Ra, S1P1 and CCR7, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. We report here that transcription repressor Gfi1 orchestrates the fidelity of DP gene expression program and developmental maturation into SP cells. Loss of Gfi1 resulted in premature induction of effector genes and transcription factors Foxo1 and Klf2 in DP thymocytes, and accumulation of post-selection intermediate populations and accelerated transition into SP cells. Strikingly, partial loss of Foxo1 function, but not restored survival fitness, rectified the dysregulated gene expression and thymocyte maturation in Gfi1-deficient mice. Our results establish Gfi1-Foxo1 axis and the transcriptional circuitry that actively maintain DP identity and shape the proper generation of mature T cells

Project description:After positive selection in the thymus, the newly generated single positive (SP) thymocytes are phenotypically and functionally immature and undergo apoptosis upon antigen stimulation. In the thymic medullary microenvironment, SP cells progressively acquire immunocompetence. Negative selection to remove autoreactive T cells also occur at this stage. We have defined four subsets of CD4 SP, namely, SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 that follow a functional maturation program and a sequential emergence during mouse ontogeny. We used microarray to detail the global programm of gene expression during the maturation of murine CD4 single positive thymocytes

Project description:Memory CD8+ T cells have the ability to provide lifelong immunity against pathogens. Although memory features generally arise after challenge with a foreign antigen, naïve CD8 single positive (SP) thymocytes may acquire phenotypic and functional characteristics of memory cells in response to cytokines such as interleukin-4. This process is associated with the induction of the T-box transcription factor Eomesodermin (EOMES). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain ill-defined. Using epigenomic profiling, we show that these innate memory CD8SP cells acquire only a portion of the active enhancer repertoire of conventional memory cells. This reprograming is secondary to EOMES recruitment, mostly to RUNX3-bound enhancers. Furthermore, EOMES is found within chromatin-associated complexes containing BRG1 and promotes the recruitment of this chromatin remodelling factor. Also, the in vivo acquisition of EOMES-dependent program is BRG1-dependent. In conclusion, our results support a strong epigenetic basis for the EOMES-driven establishment of CD8+ T cell innate memory program.

Project description:Runx transcription factors play pivotal roles in the development of hematopoietic cells, including T cells. However, the Runx-target genes in early stages of thymic T cell development have been only partially elucidated. Moreover, the relationships of different Runx paralogs, whether they compete or collaborate with each other, are unknown. We have performed CRISPR-Cas9 mediated acute deletion of Runx1 and Runx3, alone and in combination, to define the functions of Runx factors and their target genes. We focused on two distinct stages of early T cell development; before lineage commitment (Phase1) and after commitment (Phase2). Our data suggest that Runx1 and Runx3 are functionally redundant in Phase1, hence the absence of one factor was compensated by the other factor. In Phase2, Runx1 becomes a major contributor, while low levels of Runx3 still strengthened the Runx1-mediated target gene regulation and showed an additive effect. Of importance, we found that Runx1 and Runx3 upregulate T cell programs and inhibit alternative lineage genes. In order to capture the developmental status of Runx-perturbed cells, we performed supervised principal component analysis (PCA) using a fixed frame of PC loadings from single cell RNA-seq analysis of normal in vivo-derived thymocytes. Unlike the reference in vitro and in vivo pro-T cell population or sgControl introduced cells, Runx knockout cells either failed to progress fully (Phase1) or deflected from the normal developmental trajectory (Phase2), suggesting essential roles of Runx factors in early stages of T development. In addition, we analyzed the correlation between stage-specific genomic occupancy of Runx1 and Runx3 (using previously published data for Runx1, GSE103953) and Runx-mediated gene regulation responses at each stage. Interestingly, genes with dynamic, stage-sensitive expression showed a very significant association with phase-specific genomic interactions of Runx factors, and an especially strong correlation with Runx activated target genes. In summary, our data suggest a pivotal role for Runx transcription factors in thymic T cell development by imposing T lineage specification in Phase1 and instructing the lineage-committed progenitor cells to progress through a normal T developmental trajectory.

Project description:While histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27Me3) is associated with gene silencing, whether H3K27Me3 demethylation affects transcription and cell differentiation in vivo has remained elusive. To investigate this, we conditionally inactivated the two H3K27Me3 demethylases, Jmjd3 and Utx, in non-dividing intrathymic CD4+ T cell precursors. We show that both enzymes redundantly promote H3K27Me3 removal at, and expression of, a specific subset of genes involved in terminal thymocyte differentiation, especially S1pr1, encoding a sphingosine-phosphate receptor required for thymocyte egress. Floxed alleles of the genes encoding Utx and Jmjd3 (Kdm6a and Kdm6b, respectively) were deleted in double positive (DP) thymocytes carrying a CD4 Cre transgene. Genome-wide H3K27Me3 ChipSeq was performed on (i) pre-selection (CD69lo) DP thymocytes from wild-type mice carrying an endogenous polyclonal TCR repertoire, (ii) mature (TCRhi CD24lo) CD4 SP thymocytes from wild type (Wt), Jmjd3KO, UtxKO and dKO mice carrying an endogenous polyclonal TCR repertoire and (iii) mature (Va2hi CD24lo) CD4 SP thymocytes from wild type and dKO mice carrying the OTII TCR transgene.
