Satb1 Orchestrates the Expression of Lineage-Specifying Genes in Post-Selection Thymocytes

ABSTRACT: T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by MHC class-I and -II induces thymocytes to acquire cytotoxic and helper fates via induction of Runx3 or ThPOK transcription factors, respectively. The mechanisms by which TCR signaling is translated into transcriptional programs for each cell fate remain elusive. We show that a genome organizer, Satb1, activates genes for lineage-specifying factors, including ThPOK and Runx3, in post-selection thymocytes. Indeed, Satb1-deficient thymocytes are partially redirected to inappropriate T lineages after MHC selection. Although Satb1 is dispensable for maintaining ThPOK in CD4+ T cells, it is necessary for restraining expression of the Treg factor FoxP3. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that Satb1 shapes the primary T-cell pool by initially directing lineage-specific transcriptional programs and subsequently balancing effector versus regulatory subsets via FoxP3 repression.

We show that a genome organizer, SATB1, activates genes for lineage-specifying factors, including ThPOK, Runx3, CD4, CD8 and Treg factor Foxp3, and Treg factor Foxp3, and CD4, and /CD8, in post-selection thymocytes. Indeed, SATBatb1-deficient thymocytes are partially redirected into inappropriate T lineages after both MHC class-I and -II mediated selection, and fail to generate Treg subset.

Chromatin structures in pre-selection DP thymocytes of WT and Bcl11b hypomorphic mutant

Project description:T-cell receptor (TCR) signals play a critical role in guiding selected thymocytes to distinct lineages by activating genes for transcription factors, such as ThPOK and Runx3, for the helper- or cytotoxic-lineage, respectively. Here we show that Bcl11b, known as an early T-lineage commitment factor, is essential for proper expression of ThPOK and Runx3. Loss of Bcl11b resulted in premature and random expression of these specification factors, leading to lineage scrambling that was disconnected from TCR restriction by MHC. Early Thpok repression by Bcl11b is independent of its known transcriptional silencer, but requires the C-terminal zinc-finger of Bcl11b. Collectively, our findings shed new light on the role of Bcl11b in priming lineage-specifying genes to integrate TCR signals into a subsequent developmental program that dissects effector lineages.

An Integrated Epigenomic and Transcriptomic Map of Mouse and Human ab T Cell Development (Population ATACseq)

Project description:ab lineage T cells, most of which are CD4+ or CD8+ and recognize MHC I or MHC II-presented antigens, are essential for immune responses and develop from CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. The absence of in vitro models and the heterogeneity of ab thymocytes have hampered analyses of their intrathymic differentiation. Here, combining single-cell RNA and ATAC (chromatin accessibility) sequencing, we identified mouse and human ab thymocyte developmental trajectories. We demonstrated asymmetric emergence of CD4+ and CD8+ lineages, matched differentiation programs of agonist-signaled cells to their MHC specificity, and identified correspondences between mouse and human transcriptomic and epigenomic patterns. Through computational analysis of single-cell data and binding sites for the CD4+ lineage transcription factor Thpok, we inferred transcriptional networks associated with CD4+ or CD8+ lineage differentiation, and with expression of Thpok or of the CD8+ lineage factor Runx3. Our findings provide insight into the mechanisms of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell differentiation and a foundation for mechanistic investigations of ab T cell development.
