Interleukin-12 drives a rapid STAT4/DDX5-dependent change in the RNA polymerase II landscape for IFN-γ production by NK cells [CUT&RUN]

ABSTRACT: Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that respond to inflammatory cytokines produced during infection by mounting a rapid response. However, the mechanisms that allow NK cells to launch such a swift response upon inflammation remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate whether RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) may regulate this rapid responsiveness of NK cells. Exposure of NK cells to the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) results in a highly dynamic Pol II genomic landscape mediated by the transcription factor STAT4, especially at the interferon-gamma (Ifng) locus. We identify a STAT4 interacting partner, the RNA helicase DDX5, that was required for optimal IFN-γ production by modulating Pol II occupancy following IL-12 stimulation. Thus, our findings highlight STAT4/DDX5-mediated regulation of Pol II binding as a critical mechanism driving the rapid responsiveness of NK cells to proinflammatory cytokines.

STAT4 promotes Bhlhe40 induction to drive protective IFN-g from natural killer cells during viral infection [BHLHE40 CUT&RUN]

Project description:NK cells represent a cellular component of the mammalian innate immune system, and mount rapid responses against viral infection, including the secretion of the potent anti-viral effector cytokine IFN-g. Following mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, Bhlhe40 was the most highly induced transcription factor in NK cells among the basic helix-loop-helix family. Bhlhe40 upregulation in NK cells depended upon IL-12 and IL-18 signals, with the promoter of Bhlhe40 enriched for STAT4 and the permissive histone H3K4me3, and STAT4-deficient NK cells showing an impairment of Bhlhe40 induction and diminished H3K4me3. Transcriptomic and protein analysis of Bhlhe40-deficient NK cells revealed a defect in IFN-g production during MCMV infection, resulting in diminished protective immunity following viral challenge. Finally, we provide evidence that Bhlhe40 directly promotes IFN-g by binding throughout the Ifng loci in activated NK cells. Thus, our study reveals how STAT4-mediated control of Bhlhe40 drives protective IFN-g secretion by NK cells during viral infection.

Proliferation conditions promote intrinsic changes in NK Cells for an IL-10 response

Project description:Constitutively found at high frequencies, the role for NK cell proliferation remains unclear. Here, a shift in NK cell function from predominantly producing interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a cytokine with proinflammatory and antimicrobial functions, to producing the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10, is defined during extended murine cytomegalovirus infection. The NK cells driven to express IL-10 in vivo acquired responsiveness to IL-12 and IL-21 for IL-10 production, but neither cytokine was required for the endogenous response. In vitro studies with IL-2 to support proliferation and in vivo adoptive transfers into murine cytomegalovirus-infected mice demonstrated that NK cell proliferation and further division enhanced the change. During infection, the responding NK cells acquired histone modifications indicative of an open IL-10 gene, and an IL-10 response was proliferation dependent ex vivo if the NK cells had not yet expanded in vivo but independent if they had. Thus, a novel role for proliferation in supporting changing innate cell function is discovered.

Divergent roles for STAT4 in shaping effector differentiation of ILC1 and NK cells during gut inflammation II

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) require the transcription factor STAT4 to elicit rapid effector responses and protect against pathogens. Herein, by combining genetic and transcriptomic approaches, we revealed that STAT4 played an unexpected divergent role in regulating effector differentiation of murine ILC1 and NK cells, during intestinal inflammation. Stat4 deletion in Ncr1-expressing cells led to an increased generation of cytotoxic ILC1 in the inflamed large intestine. By contrast, Stat4-deficient NK cells showed impaired terminal differentiation, characterized by lower levels of IRF-8 and KLRG1. STAT4 expression in NCR+ innate lymphocytes restrained gut inflammation and controlled both systemic IFN-g levels and the number of type 2 adaptive T cells in the large intestine. Collectively our data shed light on shared and distinctive mechanisms of transcriptional regulation driven by STAT4 in NK cells and ILC1 required for protection during intestinal inflammation.

Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of adaptive NK cell responses [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that possess features of adaptive immunity such as clonal expansion and generation of long-lived memory. Interleukin (IL)-12 signaling through its downstream transcription factor STAT4 is required for the generation of memory NK cells following expansion, while type I interferon through STAT1 is important for NK cell expansion. Here, we identify gene loci that are highly enriched for STAT4 binding using ChIP-seq for STAT4 and the permissive histone mark H3K4me3 in activated NK cells. In addition, we identify gene loci that are high enriched for STAT1 binding in response to type I interferon signaling.
