Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the genome-wide binding sites for IRF4 interaction partners PU.1, BATF, and JunB in dendritic cells. These ChIP-seq data were integrated with gene expression analysis in IRF4-sufficient and -deficient BMDCs in order to assemble an IRF4 gene regulatory network. Hematopoietic bone marrow progenitors from C57BL/6 mice were differentiated with GM-CSF and IL-4 for 5 days. On day 6, BMDCs were stimulated for 6 hours with 100ng/ml LPS. Fixed chromatin was immunoprecipitated with anti-PU.1, BATF, and JunB antibodies and subjected to high-throughput sequencing. The sequencing data for the input DNA was previously submitted as GSM999807.

Project description:The transcription factor BATF is required for Th17 and TFH differentiation. Here, we show that BATF also has a fundamental role in regulating effector CD8+ T cell differentiation. BATF-deficient CD8+ T cells show profound defects in effector expansion and undergo proliferative and metabolic catastrophe early after antigen encounter. BATF, together with IRF4 and Jun proteins, binds to and promotes early expression of genes encoding lineage-specific transcription-factors (T-bet and Blimp-1) and cytokine receptors, while paradoxically repressing genes encoding effector molecules (IFNg and granzyme B). Thus, BATF amplifies TCR-dependent transcription factor expression and augments inflammatory signal propagation but restrains effector gene expression. This checkpoint prevents irreversible commitment to an effector fate until a critical threshold of downstream transcriptional activity has been achieved. P14 TCR transgenic CD8+ T cells from wild-type or BATF-/- mice were examined either as naïve cells or after 3 days of in vitro stimulation with antibodies to CD3 and CD28 in the presence of IL-2

Project description:Human regulatory T cells (Tregs) are crucial regulators of tissue repair, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. However, it is challenging to inhibit the suppressive function of Tregs for cancer therapy, without impacting immune homeostasis. Identifying pathways that may distinguish tumor-restricted Tregs is important, yet the transcriptional programs that control intratumoral Treg gene expression, and that are distinct from Tregs in healthy tissues, remain largely unknown. We profiled single-cell transcriptomes of CD4+ T cells in tumors and peripheral blood from patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), in non-tumor tonsil tissues and in peripheral blood from healthy donors. We identified a subpopulation of activated Tregs expressing multiple tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) genes (TNFR+ Tregs) that is highly enriched in the tumor microenvironment (TME) compared with non-tumor tissue and the periphery. TNFR+ Tregs are associated with worse prognosis in HNSCC and across multiple solid tumor types. Mechanistically, the transcription factor BATF is a central component of a gene regulatory network that governs key aspects of TNFR+ Tregs. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated BATF knockout in human activated Tregs in conjunction with bulk RNA sequencing, immunophenotyping and in vitro functional assays, corroborated the central role of BATF in limiting excessive activation and promoting the survival of human activated Tregs. Finally, we identified a suite of surface molecules reflective of the BATF-driven transcriptional network on intratumoral Tregs in patients with HNSCC. These findings uncover a primary transcriptional regulator of highly suppressive intratumoral Tregs, highlighting potential opportunities for therapeutic intervention in cancer without impacting immune homeostasis.

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is an IRF family transcription factor with critical roles in lymphoid development and in regulating the immune response. IRF4 binds DNA weakly owing to a carboxy-terminal auto-inhibitory domain, but cooperative binding with factors such as PU.1 or SPIB in B cells increases binding affinity, allowing IRF4 to regulate genes containing ETS–IRF composite elements (EICEs; 5'-GGAAnnGAAA-3'). Here we show that in mouse CD4+ T cells, where PU.1/SPIB expression is low, and in B cells, where PU.1 is well expressed, IRF4 unexpectedly can cooperate with activator protein-1 (AP1) complexes to bind to AP1–IRF4 composite (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3') motifs that we denote as AP1–IRF composite elements (AICEs). Moreover, BATF–JUN family protein complexes cooperate with IRF4 in binding to AICEs in pre-activated CD4+ T cells stimulated with IL-21 and in TH17 differentiated cells. Importantly, BATF binding was diminished in Irf4-/- T cells and IRF4 binding was diminished in Batf-/- T cells, consistent with functional cooperation between these factors. Moreover, we show that AP1 and IRF complexes cooperatively promote transcription of the Il10 gene, which is expressed in TH17 cells and potently regulated by IL-21. These findings reveal that IRF4 can signal via complexes containing ETS or AP1 motifs depending on the cellular context, thus indicating new approaches for modulating IRF4-dependent transcription. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of IRF4, BATF, IRF8, STAT3, JUN etc in WT, Irf4-/- and Batf-/- mice in different cell types (B cells, CD4+ T cells and TH17 cells) cultured with or without IL-21 was conducted. RNA-Seq is conducted in mouse B cells, CD4+ T cells, TH1/TH2/TH9/TH17/Treg.

Project description:In order to identify putative downstream targets of Batf in M1 cells, a microarray analysis was performed. Briefly, M1/Neg-RNAi (expressing control siRNA with no mammalian target) and M1/Batf-RNAi cells (expressing Batf targeting siRNA) were seeded in M1 growth medium at a density of 3 X 105/ml in 100mm culture dishes. Six plates were plated for each cell type. Within each group, three were labeled as + LIF and treated with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) (5 ng/ml) for 6 hours the following day. After 6 hours, the cells were harvested from all plates individually and RNA prepared. 5 µg of total RNA from the three individual samples representing each subgroup (M1/Neg-RNAi + LIF, - LIF; M1/Batf-RNAi + LIF, - LIF) were combined into one pool of RNA. EJT001 represents sample "M1/Neg-RNAi, no LIF)"; EJT002 represents sample "M1/Neg-RNAi, with LIF)"; EJT003 represents sample "M1/Batf-RNAi, no LIF)"; EJT004 represents sample "M1/Batf-RNAi, with LIF)". The four pools of RNA were shipped to Genome Explorations, Inc. for analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. The differentially regulated genes were identified both within each group (+ LIF compared to - LIF) and between 2 goups (M1/Neg-RNAi and M1/Batf-RNAi).

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are crucial for the maintenance of host-microbiota homeostasis in gastrointestinal mucosal tissues. The mechanisms that maintain lineage identity of intestinal ILC3s, and ILC3s-mediated orchestration of microbiota and mucosal T cell immunity are elusive. Here, we identified BATF as a gatekeeper of ILC3s homeostasis in the gut. Depletion of BATF in ILC3s resulted in excessive interferon-γ production, dysbiosis, aberrant T cell immune responses and spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which was considerably ameliorated by removal of adaptive immunity or antibiotic treatment. Mechanistically, BATF directly regulates ILC3s identity by globally shapes chromatin landscape of ILC3s. BATF directly binds to the cis-regulatory elements of type 1 effector genes, restrains their chromatin accessibility and inhibits their expression. Conversely, BATF promotes chromatin accessibility of genes involved in MHCII antigen processing and presentation pathways. Collectively, our findings reveal BATF is a promising candidate to maintain ILC3s stability and coordinate ILC3s–mediated control of intestinal homeostasis.

Project description:Th17 cells secrete IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22 cytokines that are critical in mediating inflammation and protecting the host from microorganisms infection. The basic leucine zipper transcription factor ATF-like (Batf) contributes to the transcriptional programming of multiple effector T cells, and is required for Th17 cell development. Here, we have interrogated mechanisms by which Batf promotes and stabilizes Th17 cell phenotype. We have shown that in vitro differentiated Th17 cells have increased expression of Th1 and Treg signature genes in the absence of Batf. In addition, Citrobacter rodentium infected Batf-deficient (Batf KO) mice fail to clear the infection, and that is correlated with diminished IL-17A and IL-22 cytokine production and increased Foxp3 and Ifng expression compared to WT mice. We find that Batf sustains Th17 phenotype in long-term culture conditions by suppressing Th1- and Treg-specific gene expression. Mechanistically, we reveal that Batf negatively regulates IL-2-STAT5 signaling and modulates STAT5 binding at the Ifng and Foxp3 gene loci thus suppressing Th1-Treg phenotype in Th17 cell development. Inhibition of STAT5 DNA binding activity in Batf KO Th17 cells was able to repress Ifng and Foxp3 expression compared to control-treated cells. Moreover, STAT5 cooperates with transcription factors Ets1 and Runx1 to mediate epigenetic modification and regulate gene expression. Thus, our study has revealed an essential function of Batf in modulating the IL-2-STAT5 signaling to promote and stabilize Th17 cell development.
