Project description:Epigenetic changes are crucial for the generation of immunological memory. Failure to generate or maintain these changes will result in poor memory responses. Similarly, augmenting or stabilizing the correct epigenetic states offers a potential method of enhancing immune memory. Yet the transcription factors that regulate these processes are poorly defined, as are the target genes they control and they chromatin-modifying complexes they recruit. Using model pathogens and three different mouse models, we find that the widely expressed transcription factor Oct1 and its cofactor OCA-B are selectively required for the in vivo generation of functional CD4 memory. In vitro, both proteins are required to maintain a poised state at the Il2 target locus in resting but previously stimulated CD4 T cells, and to generate robust Il2 expression upon restimulation. Gene expression profiling indicates that OCA-B is also required for the robust re-expression of multiple other targets including Ifng and Il17a. ChIPseq identify multiple differentially expressed direct targets. We identify an underlying mechanism involving OCA-B recruitment of the histone lysine demethylase Jmjd1a to targets such as Il2 and Ifng. The findings pinpoint Oct1 and OCA-B as unanticipated mediators of CD4 T cell memory. Examination of transcription factor occupancy in CD4 T cells upon rest and restimulation.

Project description:Resident memory T (TRM) cells have been recently established as an important subset of memory cells that provide early and essential protection against reinfection in the absence of circulating memory T cells. Recent findings showing that TRM expand in vivo after repeated antigenic stimulation indicate that these memory T cells are not terminally differentiated. This suggest an opportunity for in vitro TRM expansion to apply in an immunotherapy setting. However, it has also been shown that TRM may not maintain their identity and form circulating memory T cells after in vivo restimulation. Therefore, we set out to determine how TRM respond to antigenic activation in culture. Using Listeria monocytogenes and LCMV infection models, we found that TRM from the intraepithelial compartment of the small intestine expand in vitro after antigenic stimulation and subsequent resting in homeostatic cytokines. A large fraction of the expanded TRM retained their phenotype, including the expression of key TRM markers CD69 and CD103 (ITGAE). Optimal culture of TRM required low O2 pressure to maintain the expression of these and other TRM associated molecules. Expanded TRM retained their effector capacity to produce cytokines after restimulation, but did not acquire a highly glycolytic profile indicative of effector T cells. Proteomic analysis confirmed TRM profile retention, including expression of TRM-related transcription factors, tissue retention factors, adhesion molecules and enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism. Collectively, our data indicate that limiting oxygen conditions support in vitro expansion of TRM cells that maintain their TRM phenotype, at least in part, suggesting an opportunity for therapeutic strategies that require in vitro expansion of TRM.

Project description:Epigenetic changes are crucial for the generation of immunological memory1-4. Failure to generate or maintain these changes will result in poor memory responses. Similarly, augmenting or stabilizing the correct epigenetic states offers a potential method of enhancing immune memory. Yet the transcription factors that regulate these processes are poorly defined, as are the chromatin modifying complexes they recruit and the chromatin modifications they control. Using pathogen infection models and three different mouse models, including a new conditional allele, we find that the widely expressed transcription factor Oct15, and its cofactor OCA-B6,7, are selectively required the in vivo generation of functional CD4 memory. In vitro, both proteins are also required to maintain a poised state at the Il2 target locus in resting but previously stimulated CD4 T cells, and to generate robust Il2 expression upon restimulation. OCA-B is also required for the robust re-expression of other known targets including Il17a, and Ifng. We identify an underlying mechanism involving OCA-B recruitment of the histone lysine demethylase Jmjd1a8 to targets such as Il2 and Ifng. The findings pinpoint Oct1 and OCA-B as unanticipated mediators of CD4 T cell memory. Examination of 4 different conditions in 2 genotypes

Project description:Memory T cells are critical to protect us from recurring infections. Their instantaneous reactivity to pathogens is empowered by persistent expression of cytokine mRNA. How aberrant protein production of this pre-formed mRNA is prevented in the absence of infection, however, remains unresolved. We show that protein production in memory T cells is blocked through a 3’untranslated region (3’UTR)-mediated process, and that AU-rich elements (AREs) are key herein. Germ-line deletion of AREs leads to chronic IFN- production in bona fide memory T cells. Strikingly, the aberrant protein production does not result from increased mRNA levels and/or half-life. Rather, AREs block the recruitment of cytokine mRNA to ribosomes, a process that is mediated by the ARE-binding protein ZFP36L2. Thus, AREs are crucial elements for translational repression that allow murine and human memory T cells to contain pre-formed cytokine mRNAs, while preventing undesirable protein production in the absence of infection.

Project description:Transcriptional memory is critical for the faster reactivation of necessary genes upon environmental changes and requires that the genes were previously in an active state. However, whether transcriptional repression also displays “memory” of the prior transcriptionally inactive state remains unknown. In this study, we show that transcriptional repression of approximately 540 genes in yeast occurs much more rapidly if the genes have been previously repressed during carbon source shifts. This novel transcriptional response has been termed transcriptional repression memory(TREM). Interestingly, Rpd3L histone deacetylase (HDAC), targeted to active promoters induces TREM. Mutants for Rpd3L exhibit increased acetylation at active promoters and delay TREM and RNA PolII dissociation significantly. Surprisingly, the interaction between H3K4me3 and Rpd3L via the Pho23 PHD finger is sufficient to induce histone deacetylation and TREM by Rpd3L. Therefore, we propose that an active mark, H3K4me3 enriched at promoters, instructs Rpd3L HDAC to induce histone deacetylation and TREM.
