Project description:Differentiation of Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) from hematopoietic stem cells needs go through several progenitor stages defined by various cell surface markers. The progenitor populations at specific developmental stages may have multiple lineage potentials. However, it is not clear whether the multipotency of the progenitors are induced in situ by differentiation signals or are already predefined by epigenetic states. Here we report the profiling of genome-wide nucleosome position and chromatin accessibility simultaneously in ILC progenitors EILPs and ILCPs by single-cell MNase-Seq. We find that EILPs contain distinct sub-populations epigenetically primed toward either myeloid or ILC lineages, while ILCPs contain cells mainly primed for the ILC lineage at epigenetic level. We further demonstrate that the transcription factor TCF1 is indispensable for the epigenetic priming of lineage-defining sites (LDSs) for both myeloid lineages and ILC lineages at the EILP stage, and deletion of TCF1 results in the epigenetic priming that favors the myeloid lineages. Our results suggest that the multipotency of progenitor cells is defined by the existence of heterogeneous population of cells epigenetically primed for distinct downstream lineages, which are regulated by key transcription factors.

Project description:TFH and Th1 cells generated after viral or intracellular bacterial infections are critical for the control of infections and the development of immunological memories. However, the mechanisms that govern the choice of activated CD4 T cells to the two alternative fates remain unclear. Here, we found that reciprocal expression of TCF1 and Blimp1 between viral-specific TFH and Th1 cells started early after infection. TCF1 was intrinsically required for the differentiation of TFH cells. In the absence of TCF1, TFH cells failed to maintain their transcriptional and metabolic signatures, distinct from those in Th1 cells. Mechanistically, TCF1 functioned through forming negative feedback loops with IL-2 and Blimp1 signaling. Thus, we have demonstrated an essential role of TCF1 in TFH-cell differentiation. Tcf7 deficient and WT SMARTA CD4 T cells were isolated from mice 8 days after Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) infection. TFH and Th1 cells were separated by FACS.

Project description:The HMG-box factor Tcf1 is required during T-cell development in the thymus and mediates the nuclear response to Wnt signals. Tcf1-/- mice have previously been characterized and show developmental blocks at the CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) to CD4+CD8+ double positive transition. Due to the blocks in T-cell development, Tcf1-/- mice normally have a very small thymus. Unexpectedly, a large proportion of Tcf1-/- mice spontaneously develop thymic lymphomas with 50% of mice developing a thymic lymphoma/leukemia at the age of 16 wk. These lymphomas are clonal, highly metastatic, and paradoxically show high Wnt signaling when crossed with Wnt reporter mice and have high expression of Wnt target genes Lef1 and Axin2. In wild-type thymocytes, Tcf1 is higher expressed than Lef1, with a predominance of Wnt inhibitory isoforms. Loss of Tcf1 as repressor of Lef1 leads to high Wnt activity and is the initiating event in lymphoma development, which is exacerbated by activating Notch1 mutations. Thus, Notch1 and loss of Tcf1 functionally act as collaborating oncogenic events. Tcf1 deficiency predisposes to the development of thymic lymphomas by ectopic up-regulation of Lef1 due to lack of Tcf1 repressive isoforms and frequently by cooperating activating mutations in Notch1. Tcf1 therefore functions as a T-cell‚Äìspecific tumor suppressor gene, besides its established role as a Wnt responsive transcription factor. Thus, Tcf1 acts as a molecular switch between proliferative and repressive signals during T-lymphocyte development in the thymus. Using the Tcf1-/- DeltaVII/DeltaVII knockout mouse (Verbeek et al. Nature 1995), thymocytes of 17 mice (5 control Tcf+/-, 4 Tcf-/- and 8 Tcf-/- with thymic lymphoma) were homogenized for RNA isolation using Qiagen RNeasy minicolumns. The quantity and quality of total RNA was determined using spectrophotometry (Nanodrop) and an Agilent Bioanalyzer. One ¬µg of RNA was used to generate cRNA using Affymetrix One cycle cDNA synthesis kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA), after which the samples were biotinylated using an Affymetrix IVT labeling kit (Affymetrix). The samples were hybridized overnight at 42¬?C to GeneChip mouse genome 430 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix). Washing and staining steps were performed on a Fluidics station 450, and the Genechips were scanned using a GeneChip scanner 3000 (Affymetrix) at the Department of Immunology, Erasmus Medical Center. Raw data were normalized and summarized using Robust Multichip Average (RMA) method. The experiment consists of 5 control Tcf+/- thymi, 4 Tcf-/- thymi and 8 Tcf-/- thymus samples with thymic lymphoma.

Project description:Stem-like CD8 + T cells are regulated by the transcription factor TCF1 and are key players in the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, recent findings indicate that reliance on TCF1 + CD8 + stem-like T cells for ICB efficacy may not be equal across patients or tumor contexts. Here, we uncovered that TCF1-deficient CD8 + T cells showed defective priming in the tumor-draining lymph node of mice bearing poorly immunogenic tumors and that TCF1 regulates optimal T cell responsiveness to low TCR triggering. Importantly, we found that TCF1 was dispensable for therapy response in settings where ICB expanded intra-tumoral transitory effector-like cells. Conversely, TCF1 was required for ICB response in tumors that failed to expand cytotoxic effectors and accumulated Tox + dysfunctional T cells. In the absence of TCF1, dysfunctional T cells became destabilized and shared features with CD8 + T cells found in patients that fail ICB. Our study highlights a role for TCF1 in the early stages of the anti-tumor CD8 + T cell response with important implications for guiding optimal therapeutic interventions in cancers with low frequency of TCF1 + CD8 + T cells and low neoantigen levels.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells are important regulators of the immune system and have versatile functions for the homeostasis and repair of tissues. They express the forkhead box transcription factor Foxp3 as a lineage-defining protein. In mature Treg cells, the Foxp3 core promoter is unmethylated indicating that this area could harbor a transcription factor complex to initiate or repress gene expression, respectively. We used an unbiased method to identify Foxp3-promoter-binding transcription factors (TFs) by inverted chromatin immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified several candidate factors which showed Foxp3-promoter suppressive capacity, one of which was T-cell factor 1 (Tcf1). Using viral overexpression and CRISPR/Cas knockout studies, we identified Tcf1 as a repressor of Foxp3 expression in primary conventional CD4 T cells (Tconv). In Tcf1-deficient animals, increased levels of Foxp3intermediateCD25negative T cells were identified in secondary lymphoid tissues, implicating that Tcf1 protects Foxp3-negative T cells from inadvertent Foxp3 expression.

Project description:Comparison of epigenome and Tcf1 occupancy between control and Tcf1/Lef1-deficient CD8 T cells Control mice or those are deficient for Tcf1 and Lef1 transcription factors (deleted by CD4-Cre) were used to isolate thymocytes. The thymocytes were surface-stained to identify TCRbeta high, CD69â, CD24â CD8+ subsets. These cells were sorted for ChIPseq analysis of various histone marks. Control mice or those are deficient for Tcf1 (deleted by CD4-Cre) were used to isolate thymocytes. The splenocytes were surface-stained to identify TCRbeta high, CD8+ subsets. These cells were sorted for ChIPseq analysis of Tcf1 binding locations.

Project description:Tcf1 is necessary for optimal T lineage development. Tcf1 deficient progenitors fail to initiate the T lineage program in vitro and development is severely defective in vivo. We used microarrays to assess the overal global gene expression differences from Tcf1 wildtype and deficient lymphoid biased progenitors cultures on Notch-ligand expressing stroma to determine if Tcf1 deficient progenitors are able to intiate the T lineage specification program. Abstract of manuscript: The thymus imposes the T cell fate on incoming multipotent progenitors, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that transcription factor Tcf1 initiates T-lineage-specific gene expression. Tcf1 is downstream of Notch1 signaling and expressed in early T-cell progenitors. Progenitors deficient for Tcf1 are unable to initiate normal T-lineage specification. Conversely, ectopic expression of Tcf1 in hematopoietic progenitors is sufficient to induce expression of T-lineage specific genes in vitro. Thus, our study identifies Tcf1 as critically involved in the establishment T cell identity. Tcf1 wildtype and deficient bone marrow lymphoid primed progenitors (LMPPs, Lineage marker- Sca+kit+Flt3high) were harvested in triplicate and seeded onto OP9-DL4 expressing stroma for 4 days upon which highly pure lineage negative and Thy1+CD25+ T cells were cell sorted for expression analysis. The lineage negative populations represent three seperate mice from each genotype and the Thy1+CD25+T lineage population represents two replicates from the Tcf1 wildtype group. No Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells develop from Tcf1 deficient progentiors.

Project description:We used microarrays to perform a global gene expression analysis in Tcf1-expressing Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells that develop on OP9 stroma in the absence of Notch1 signals. We compare this to the starting population, LMPP progenitors, and to control expressing T lineage cells that developed on OP9 stroma expressing Notch ligand DL4. The overall goal of this study was to determine if Tcf1 initiates T lineage specification in lymphoid progenitors. We found that Tcf1 was sufficient to upregulate many T lineage genes as compared to control expressing progenitors on OP9-DL4. Abstract of manuscript: The thymus imposes the T cell fate on incoming multipotent progenitors, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that transcription factor Tcf1 initiates T-lineage-specific gene expression. Tcf1 is downstream of Notch1 signaling and expressed in early T-cell progenitors.

Conversely, ectopic expression of Tcf1 in hematopoietic progenitors is sufficient to induce expression of T-lineage specific genes in vitro. Thus, our study identifies Tcf1 as critically involved in the establishment T cell identity. Wiltype LMPPs were isolated by a FACSAria cell sorter and retrovirally transduced with a Tcf1-containing (Tcf1-VEX) or control vector (VEX) retrovirus. Tcf1-expressing cells and control-vector expressing cells were then seeded on OP9 stroma or OP9 stroma expressing Notch ligand DL4, respectively. On day 10, Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells were sorted from Tcf1-expressing cells on OP9 stroma and compared to sorted LMPPs and Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells that developed from control-vector expressing cells on OP9-DL4.
