Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells are involved in self tolerance, immune homeostasis, prevention of autoimmunity, and suppression of immunity to pathogens or tumours. The forkhead transcription factor FOXP3 is essential for Treg cell development and function as mutations in FOXP3 cause severe autoimmunity in mice and humans. However, the FOXP3-dependent molecular mechanisms leading to this severe phenotype are not well understood. Here we introduce the chromatin remodelling enzyme SATB1 (special AT-rich sequence-binding protein-1) as an important target gene of FOXP3. So far, SATB1 has been associated with normal thymic T-cell development, peripheral T-cell homeostasis, TH1/TH2 polarization, and reprogramming of gene expression. In natural and induced murine and human FOXP3+ Treg cells SATB1 expression is significantly reduced. While there is no differential epigenetic regulation of the SATB1 locus between Treg and Teffector cells, FOXP3 reduces SATB1 expression directly as a transcriptional repressor at the SATB1 locus and indirectly via miR-155 induction, which specifically binds to the 3’UTR of the SATB1 mRNA. Reduced SATB1 expression in FOXP3+ cells achieved either by overexpression or induction of FOXP3 is linked to significant reduction in TH1 and TH2 cytokines, while loss of FOXP3 function either by knock down or genetic mutation leads to significant upregulation of SATB1 and subsequent cytokine production. Alltogether, these findings demonstrate that reduced SATB1 expression in Treg cells is necessary for maintenance of a Treg-cell phenotype in vitro and in vivo and places SATB1-mediated T cell-specific modulation of global chromatin remodelling central during the decision process between effector and regulatory T-cell function. Gene expression profiling of freshly isolated CD4+ T cells, separated into CD25 negative and positive subpopulations, from three different donors. FOXP3 is stably and constitutively expressed at a high level in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and at a low level in CD4+CD25- cells.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are now recognized as a heterogeneous population in self-renewing and differentiation capabilities. However, fundamental mechanisms governing the heterogeneity remain uncertain. We here show that special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1), a global chromatin organizer, is involved in the mechanisms. Analyzing hematological lineage-restricted SATB1 knock out mice proved that SATB1 is indispensable for both self-renewal and normal differentiation of adult HSCs. Using SATB1/Tomato knock-in mice, we subdivided HSCs according to SATB1 intensity. Culture experiments and RNA-sequencing revealed essential differences between SATB1- and SATB1+ HSCs regarding lineage potential.

Project description:Cytotoxic T-cell immunity in response to chronic infection and cancer is sustained by a self-renewing population known as the progenitor CD8+ T (TPRO) cells. These TPRO cells exhibit stem-like characteristics, including quiescence, multipotency, and self-renewal, which are the cardinal features of memory T cells. However, the mechanisms that sustain their stem-like properties under chronic antigen stimulation remain unclear. In this study, we identified SATB1 as a shared feature that is specifically enriched in both TPRO and memory CD8+ T cells. While the roles of SATB1 in stem-like CD8+ T cells remain unknown, its function as an epigenetic regulator in promoting quiescence in hematopoietic stem cells led us to hypothesize that SATB1 plays a pivotal role in regulating the stemness of TPRO and memory CD8+ T cells. To test this hypothesis, we employed CRISPR-mediated gene editing to delete the Satb1 gene specifically in CD8+ T cells. During chronic LCMV infection, we found that SATB1-deficient CD8+ T cells failed to maintain the TPRO subset and instead showed an enhanced transition toward terminally differentiated cells. Similarly, SATB1 deficiency during acute viral infection impaired the formation of memory CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, our multi-omic assays revealed that SATB1 regulates the chromatin accessibility, transcriptional activities, and genomic architecture of stemness-associated genes, such as Tcf7, Bach2, and Myb. Overall, our results underscore the critical role of SATB1 in maintaining the transcriptional and epigenetic features of stem-like CD8+ T cells, shedding light on the previously unappreciated regulatory mechanisms that sustain the stemness of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells.

Project description:Chronic infections and cancers induce CD8+ T cell exhaustion, but within this exhausted CD8+ T cell pool, a self-renewing, stem-like subset known as progenitor CD8+ T (TPRO) cells play a crucial role in maintaining long-term immunity. These TPRO cells exhibit stem-like characteristics, including quiescence, multipotency, and self-renewal, which are the cardinal features of memory T cells. However, the mechanisms that preserve their stem-like properties under chronic antigen stimulation remain unclear. In this study, we identified that SATB1 as a shared feature is highly expressed in both TPRO and memory CD8+ T cells. While the role of SATB1 in stem-like CD8+ T cells remains unknown, its function as epigenetic regulator in promoting quiescence in hematopoietic stem cells led us to hypothesize that SATB1 plays a pivotal role in regulating the stemness of TPRO and memory CD8+ T cells.
