Project description:Autoimmune diseases display many changes to the immune environment. The lineage-specific transcription factor Ets1 has been associated with autoimmune diseases including SLE. Ets1KO mice develop significant autoimmune disease with an expansion of IL-17 expressing lymphocytes. To ascertain the role of IL-17 in the phenotype of Ets1KO mice, mice lacking both Ets1 and IL17Ra were generated. These double-knockout mice (DKO) were found to develop significant autoimmune disease characterized by development of spontaneous skin lesions. To ascertain the potential causative factors contributing to the lesional skin development, RNA sequencing was conducted on ventral neck skin bulk RNA samples harvested from wild-type, Ets1KO, IL17RaKO, and DKO animals. We report here that Ets1 and IL17Ra deletion results in significant gene expression changes. Among the changes in gene expression reported here is significantly elevated expression of proinflammatory cytokines commonly part of the normal skin immune response to wounding and/or infection. Together these data suggest that Ets1 and Il17Ra signaling interact resulting in significantly altered immune related gene expression in the skin of DKO mice.

Project description:IntroductionEts1 is a lymphoid-enriched transcription factor that regulates B- and Tcell functions in development and disease. Mice that lack Ets1 (Ets1 KO) develop spontaneous autoimmune disease with high levels of autoantibodies. Naïve CD4 + T cells isolated from Ets1 KO mice differentiate more readily to Th17 cells that secrete IL-17, a cytokine implicated in autoimmune disease pathogenesis. To determine if increased IL-17 production contributes to the development of autoimmunity in Ets1 KO mice, we crossed Ets1 KO mice to mice lacking the IL-17 receptor A subunit (IL17RA KO) to generate double knockout (DKO) mice.MethodsIn this study, the status of the immune system of DKO and control mice was assessed utilizing ELISA, ELISpot, immunofluorescent microscopy, and flow cytometric analysis of the spleen, lymph node, skin. The transcriptome of ventral neck skin was analyzed through RNA sequencing. S. aureus clearance kinetics in in exogenously infected mice was conducted using bioluminescent S. aureus and tracked using an IVIS imaging experimental scheme.ResultsWe found that the absence of IL17RA signaling did not prevent or ameliorate the autoimmune phenotype of Ets1 KO mice but rather that DKO animals exhibited worse symptoms with striking increases in activated B cells and secreted autoantibodies. This was correlated with a prominent increase in the numbers of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. In addition to the autoimmune phenotype, DKO mice also showed signs of immunodeficiency and developed spontaneous skin lesions colonized by Staphylococcus xylosus. When DKO mice were experimentally infected with Staphylococcus aureus, they were unable to clear the bacteria, suggesting a general immunodeficiency to staphylococcal species. γδ T cells are important for the control of skin staphylococcal infections. We found that mice lacking Ets1 have a complete deficiency of the γδ T-cell subset dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), which are involved in skin woundhealing responses, but normal numbers of other skin γδ T cells. To determine if loss of DETC combined with impaired IL-17 signaling might promote susceptibility to staph infection, we depleted DETC from IL17RA KO mice and found that the combined loss of DETC and impaired IL-17 signaling leads to an impaired clearance of the infection.ConclusionsOur studies suggest that loss of IL-17 signaling can result in enhanced autoimmunity in Ets1 deficient autoimmune-prone mice. In addition, defects in wound healing, such as that caused by loss of DETC, can cooperate with impaired IL-17 responses to lead to increased susceptibility to skin staph infections.

Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq for hallmark TFs (Ets1, Runx1), histone modification marks (H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3), total RNA Pol II, short RNA-Seq as well as nucleosome mapping mainly in murine Rag2 -/- thymocytes. We also performed ChIP-Seq for E47 as well as nucleosome mapping, gene expression microarray analysis in CD4+ CD8+ WT and Ets1-/- DP thymocytes. Overall, we find a key role for the transcription factor Ets1, contributing towards alpha beta T cell lineage commitment via differential transactivation of stage-specific genes orchestrated by dynamic, co-association -mediated chromatin remodeling, as well as transcription dependent generation of a specialized chromatin structure at the TCR beta locus.

Project description:The T-cell leukemia homeobox 1 (TLX1, HOX11) transcription factor is critically involved in the multistep pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and often cooperates with NOTCH1 activation during malignant T-cell transformation. However, the exact molecular mechanisms by which these T-cell specific oncogenes cooperate during transformation remain to be established. Here, we used an integrative genomics approach to show that the oncogenic properties of TLX1 are mediated by genome-wide interference with the ETS1 and RUNX1 transcription factors. Partial disruption of ETS1 and RUNX1 activity by ectopic TLX1 expression in immature thymocytes drives repression of T-cell specific super-enhancers and mediates an unexpected transcriptional antagonism with NOTCH1 signaling. These phenomena coordinately trigger a TLX1 driven pre-leukemic phenotype in human thymic precursor cells, which corresponds with the in vivo thymic regression observed in murine TLX1 tumor models, and creates a strong genetic pressure for acquiring activating NOTCH1 mutations as a prerequisite for full leukemic transformation. In conclusion, our results uncover a functional antagonism between cooperative oncogenes during the earliest phases of tumor development and provide novel insights in the multistep pathogenesis of TLX1 driven human leukemia. Gene expression was measured in the ALL-SIL T-ALL cell line after electroporation with scrambled siRNA and 2 independent ETS1 targetings siRNAs. Cells were collected 24h after treatment. This was performed for 3 replicates.

Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq for Ets1 and histone modifications in P5424 thymic cells, without and with Ets1 knockdown via shRNA. Overall, we find that loss of Ets1 results in specific, higher occupancy of H3K4me1-marked nucleosomes at the Ets1 binding site, but not H3K4me3 nucleosomes. We verified the specificity of this mechanism as Ets1-dependent by also computing H3K4me1 and 3 nucleosome occupancy in hypersensitive, Ets1-depleted sites. This effect was also found in primary WT DN+DP Ets1 sites. Overall, this suggests that Ets1 induces chromatin remodeling and that its loss increases H3K4me1 nucleosome occupancy in bound sites, with levels of H3K4me3 comparatively unchanged, thus reducing the activation status of these enhancers Genome-wide analysis via ChIP-Seq for Ets1, H3K4me1 and H3K4me3 in WT, sh-scramble and sh-Ets1 the P5424 thymic cell line

Project description:The levels of transcription factor Ets1 are high in resting B and T cells, but are downregulated by signaling through antigen receptors and Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Loss of Ets1 in mice leads to excessive immune cell activation and development of an autoimmune syndrome and reduced Ets1 expression has been observed in human PBMCs in the context of autoimmune diseases. In B cells, Ets1 serves to prevent premature activation and differentiation to antibody-secreting cells. Given these important roles for Ets1 in the immune response, stringent control of Ets1 gene expression levels is required for homeostasis. However, the genetic regulatory elements that control expression of the Ets1 gene remain relatively unknown. Here we identify a topologically-associating domain (TAD) in the chromatin of B cells that includes the mouse Ets1 gene locus and describe an interaction hub that extends over 100 kb upstream and into the gene body. Additionally, we compile epigenetic datasets to find several putative regulatory elements within the interaction hub by identifying regions of high DNA accessibility and enrichment of active enhancer histone marks. Using reporter constructs, we determine that DNA sequences within this interaction hub are sufficient to direct reporter gene expression in lymphoid tissues of transgenic mice. Further analysis indicates that the reporter construct drives faithful expression of the reporter gene in mouse B cells, but variegated expression in T cells, suggesting the existence of T cell regulatory elements outside this region. To investigate how the downregulation of Ets1 transcription is associated with alterations in the epigenetic landscape of stimulated B cells, we performed ATAC-seq in resting and BCR-stimulated primary B cells and identified four regions within and upstream of the Ets1 locus that undergo changes in chromatin accessibility that correlate to Ets1 gene expression. Interestingly, functional analysis of several putative Ets1 regulatory elements using luciferase constructs suggested a high level of functional redundancy. Taken together our studies reveal a complex network of regulatory elements and transcription factors that coordinate the B cell-specific expression of Ets1.

Project description:GATA4 is a pioneer transcription factor. The mechanisms by which pioneer factors select and occupy specific loci, open chromatin, and activate enhancers is not well understood. To address the influence of partner, non-pioneer factors on pioneer factor activity, we analyzed the effect of NKX2-5 or ETS1 on GATA4 pioneer activity. NIH3T3 cells were transduced with lentivirus to obtain stable cell lines that express GFP (control), GATA4 (G), NKX2-5 (N), ETS1 (E), GATA4+NKX2-5 (GN), and GATA4+ETS1 (GE). We measured chromatin accessibility using ATAC-seq, and enhancer activation using H3K27ac. From these measurements we determined GATA4, GATA4+ETS, and GATA4+NKX2-5 pioneer binding, pioneer opening, and pioneer enhancer activation. Our results show that ETS1 or NKX2-5 alter GATA4 pioneer binding, opening, and enhancer activation.
