SATB1 Condensates Reinforce Super-Enhancer Architecture to Lower the Threshold of Thymocyte Positive Selection

ABSTRACT: The generation of mature CD4⁺ helper and CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells from double-positive (DP) thymocytes is a central step in building an effective adaptive immune system. This process relies on positive selection, whereby αβTCR⁺ thymocytes are tested for recognition of self-peptide–MHC complexes presented by cortical thymic epithelial cells. Thymocytes with insufficient signaling die by neglect, while those receiving appropriately tuned signals survive and differentiate. Positive selection thus plays a dual role: establishing MHC restriction and directing lineage commitment into the CD4 or CD8 fate. After TCR rearrangement is completed, T cells can interact with APCs to transmit TCR signals and produce CD69 protein. SO, CD69+DP cells is undergoing positive selection. Here, we explored the mechanism of SATB1 regulating thymocyte positive selection. Firstly, We analysis the function of SATB1 in the transtion of CD69-DP to CD69+DP by CUT&Tag, ATAC and HiC assays. Then, Single-cell RNA sequencing assay of SATB1-deficient thymocytes showed that the cell identity of CD69+DP thymocytes was changed, and the genes differently expressed in CD69+DP cells. Smart-seq2 showed the similar tendency. CUT&Tag , ATAC-seq and HiC data show the mechanism for SATB1 in T cell positive selection or before this stage. ACC-seq confirms that SATB1 forms phase separation at these sites and regulates gene expression, These data helps us to understand the role of SATB1 in thymocyte positive selection.

Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes in sorted CD69+ double positive (DP) thymocytes from wild type (WT) and NSRP1CD4Cre (KO) mice

Project description:NSrp70 deficiency (NSRP1f/fCD4Cre) profoundly perturbed the late development of DP thymocytes, leading to a significant reduction of single positive (SP) cells in the thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues. To gain further insight into how NSrp70 controls thymocyte development from CD69+ DP stage, we performed RNA-seq analysis after sorting CD69+ DP thymocytes from WT and Nsrp1 cKO mice.

Chromatin organizer SATB1 controls the cell identity of CD4+ CD8+ double-positive thymocytes by compacting super-enhancers

Project description:CD4+ and CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes are at a critical stage during the T cell development in thymus. DP cells rearrange the T cell receptor gene Tcra to generate T cell receptors with TCR. Then DP cells differentiate into CD4 or CD8 single-positive (SP) thymocytes, Regulatory T cells, or invariant nature kill T cells (iNKT) according to the TCR signal. Chromatin organizer SATB1 is highly expressed in DP cells and plays an essential role in regulating Tcra rearrangement and differentiation of DP cells. Here we explored the mechanism of SATB1 orchestrating gene expression in DP cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing assay of SATB1-deficient thymocytes showed that the cell identity of DP thymocytes was changed, and the genes specifically highly expressed in DP cells were down-regulated. ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data showed the similar tendency. The super-enhancers regulate the expressions of the DP-specific genes, and the SATB1 deficiency reduced the super-enhancer activity. Hi-C data showed that interactions in super-enhancers and between super-enhancers and promoters decreased in SATB1 deficient thymocytes. We further explored the regulation mechanism of two SATB1-regulating genes, ETS2 and Bcl6, in DP cells and found that the knockout of the super-enhancers of these two genes impaired the development of DP cells. Our research reveals that SATB1 globally regulates super-enhancers of DP cells and promotes the establishment of DP cell identity, which helps understand the role of SATB1 in thymocyte development.

Transcription profiling of mouse thymic deletion in B10 430B strains

Project description:Microarray analysis of thymic deletion in the B10 mouse strain; The gene expression patterns of thymocytes at the pre-selection stage and undergoing positive selection or negative selection were compared in the C57BL/10-H2k (B10k) strain. In order to sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing positive selection the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was used, which directs thymocyte development towards a MHC class II-restricted HEL-reactive lineage. To sort thymocytes homogenously undergoing negative selection, the 3A9 TCRHEL transgenic was crossed to the insHEL transgenic, which expresses HEL under the control of the insulin promoter in the thymic stroma, leading to efficient negative selection at the early single positive (CD4+CD8low) stage. To prepare the samples, thymic cell suspensions from female 6-8 week old B10k mice, either 3A9 TCRHEL or 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics, were stained with CD4-FITC, CD69-PE, CD8-PerCP, and 1G12 supernatant (which recognises the 3A9 TCRHEL complex) followed by anti-IgG1-APC, and sorted. Pre-selection cells (from both transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8+CD69-1G12low. Cells undergoing positive selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL transgenics) or negative selection (from 3A9 TCRHEL x insHEL transgenics) were defined as CD4+CD8lowCD69+1G12high. Experiment Overall Design: Single positive or double positive thymocytes from B10 mice were compared to those from B10 TCRHEL transgenic mice. 3 biological replicaes were used for each of the 4 different groups of thymocytes.

The pioneer transcription factors Foxa1 and Foxa2 regulate alternative RNA splicing during positive selection in the thymus

Project description:Here we show that the pioneer transcription factors Foxa1 and Foxa2 are required to regulate RNA splicing during positive selection at the transition from CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) to single positive (SP thymocyte). Conditional deletion of both Foxa1 and Foxa2 from DP thymocytes led to a partial arrest at the transition from DP to SP, with a reduction in the number of cells undergoing positive selection, and reduced the number and maturation of both CD4SP and CD8SP populations, with a reduction in peripheral naïve CD4+ T-cells. Foxa1 and Foxa2 were required for physiological levels of expression of several genes which encoding splicing factors (Mbnl1, Sf3b1, Hnrnpa1) in cells undergoing positive selection. Within the positively selecting CD69+DP cells, alternative RNA splicing was dysregulated leading to more than 859 significantly differentially expressed exons compared to control, with many genes important for T cell development and for RNA splicing showing differentially used exons.

Gene expression analysis of thymocyte subsets

Project description:Mouse thymocytes can be classified into four major subsets based on expression of CD4 and CD8 co-receptors. CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN) cells become CD4+CD8+ (double positive, DP) cells following productive T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain rearrangement. A small proportion of DP cells are selected through interaction of clonal TCRalpha/beta and MHC self peptide complex expressed on thymic stromal cells. DP cell expressing MHC class I-restricted TCR become CD4-CD8+ cells, which will finally differentiate into cytotoxic T cells, while MHC class II restricted selection generates CD4+CD8- helper lineage T cells. We used microarrays to identify genes important for thymocyte differentiation and lineage determination by profiling gene expression in different thymocyte subsets. Mouse thymocytes were divided into four subsets based on CD4, CD8a, and TCRb expression and purified by flw cytometry. FACS purified DN (CD4-CD8a-TCRb-), DP (CD4+CD8a+), CD4SP (CD4+CD8a-TCRbhi) and CD8SP (CD4-CD8a+TCRbhi) populations were lysed in Trizol, and provided to the Genomics Core Facility of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) for quality control, quantification, reverse transcription, labeling and hybridization to MOE430A 2.0 microarray chips (Affymetrix). Arrays were scanned per the manufacturer’s specifications for the Affymetrix MOE430v2 chip.

Development of Double-positive Thymocytes at Single-cell Resolution

Project description:We applied single-cell sequencing to mouse thymocytes and analyzed the transcriptome data using Seurat. By applying unsupervised clustering, we defined thymocyte subtypes and validated DP cell subtypes by flow cytometry. We classified the cell cycle phases of each cell according to expression of cell cycle phase-specific genes. For immune synapse detection, we used immunofluorescent staining and ImageStream-based flow cytometry. We studied and integrated human thymocyte data to verify the conservation of our findings and also performed cross-species comparisons to examine species-specific gene regulation. We classified blast, rearrangement and selection subtypes of DP thymocytes and used the surface markers CD2 and Ly6d to identify these subtypes by flow cytometry. Based on this new classification, we found that the proliferation of blast DP cells is quite different from that of double-positive cells and other cell types, which tend to exit the cell cycle after a single round. At the DP cell selection stage, we observed that CD8-associated immune synapses formed between thymocytes, indicating that CD8sp selection occurred among thymocytes themselves. Moreover, cross-species comparison revealed species-specific transcription factors (TFs) that contribute to the transcriptional differences of thymocytes from humans and mice. Our study classified DP thymocyte subtypes of different developmental stages and provided new insight into the development of DP thymocytes at single-cell resolution, furthering our knowledge of the fundamental immunological process of thymopoiesis.

Expression data from developing thymocytes of N15TCR transgenic Rag2 deficient mice

Project description:T cell development relies on the precise developmental control of various cellular functions for appropriate positive and negative selection. Previously, gene expression profiling of peptide-driven negative selection events in the N15 TCR class I MHC-restricted mouse and D011.10 TCR class II MHC-restricted mouse has offered insights into the coordinate engagement of biological processes affecting thymocyte development. However, there has been little comparable detailed in vivo global genome expression analysis reported for positive selection. We used microarrays to identify the genes differentially expressed during CD8 single positive T cell development in N15 TCR transgenic Rag2 deficient mice. We have analyzed gene expression in the individual populations as development proceeds from DP, intermediate (Int), to SP subsets. To this end, we sorted the individual populations from six age and sex matched 5-6 week old N15 TCR tg+/+ RAG-2-/- H-2b mice for two independent experiments. For sorting subpopulations, cells were stained with anti-CD4 (L3T4) and anti-CD8 (Ly-2) antibodies (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA USA) and DP, Int and SP thymocytes were sorted on a MoFlo (Cytomation, Fort Collins, CO USA).

Transcriptional profiling of post-positive selection thymocytes from HOIL- and SHARPIN-deficient mice

Project description:Mice lacking components of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) exhibit defects in thymocyte differentiation. To determine how two LUBAC components, HOIL and SHARPIN, mediate their effects, we purified thymocytes from CD4Cre Hoil-fl/fl or Sharpin-cpdm mice and compared their transcriptional profile to WT controls. We focused on the CD69+ MHCI low and CD69+ MHCI high subsets that follow positive selection.
