Genome-wide maps of Egr2 transcription factor binding sites in NKT and anti TCRb injected thymocytes.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for mapping the Egr2 transcriptional program in developing thymic NKT. We found that Egr2 controls the induction of genes required for NKT development. Examination of developing NKT cells and thymocytes receiving a strong TCR signal in vivo by injecting 500ug anti-TCRb antibody.

Interactions driven by the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) determine the lineage fate of CD4(+)CD8(+) thymocytes, but the molecular mechanisms that induce the lineage-determining transcription factors are unknown. Here we found that TCR-induced transcription factors Egr2 and Egr1 had higher and more-prolonged expression in precursors of the natural killer T (NKT) than in cells of conventional lineages. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing showed that Egr2 directly bound and ac ...[more]

Project description:The discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989 revealed the virus as the etiology of 40%-90% of the “essential” mixed cryoglobulinemia, where immune complex forms deposit called cryoprecipitate at temperatures below 37 °C. Cryoprecipitate constitutes monoclonal IgM and polyclonal IgG, some of which has reactivity against HCV core and NS3 epitopes. Resultant immune complex is considered entrapped on microvascular endothelium via C1q receptor, leading to complement activation and organ injury presenting predominantly as dermopathy, peripheral neuropathy and nephropathy. However, currently little is known on whether auto-reactive, cold-precipitating IgG components enriched in cryoprecipitate may play some role on the deposition of immune complex and subsequent complement-mediated injury of specific organs. Recently, with the advent of high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing and mass spectrometry, technical feasibility is growing to delineate antibodies of interest and their sequences directly from serum. To date, vast majority of studies actually utilized the antigen column for affinity purification of antibodies of interest, although this strategy is not applicable to disease entity with unknown antigen involvement. In such cases, disease-specific and organ-specific immune deposits may be a good alternative source of etiological antibodies. Herein, targeting HCV cryoglobulinemic vasculitis as a model, we conducted a proof-of-concept study aiming at characterizing the IgG components most prone to cryoprecipitation. To this end, we longitudinally studied one patient with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis with chronic HCV infection. After obtaining informed consent, cryoprecipitate and supernatant were separated from peripheral blood sample. Fab fragments from Protein G-purified IgG were recovered after papain digestion for isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics. Simultaneously, total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) was PCR-amplified with unique molecular identifier (UMI) strategy to construct a personal IGHV sequence library of immunoglobulin variable region. Sequencing output from MiSeq was bioinformatically converted into mass spectrometry database. Search was performed using MaxQuant software.
