Genome-wide gene expression profiling revealed a critical role for GATA3 in the maintenance of the Th2 cell identity

ABSTRACT: Functionally polarized CD4+ T helper (Th) cells such as Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells are central to the regulation of acquired immunity. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the maintenance of the polarized functions of Th cells remain unclear. GATA3, a master regulator of Th2 cell differentiation, initiates the expressions of Th2 cytokine genes and other Th2-specific genes. GATA3 also plays important roles in maintaining Th2 cell function and in continuous chromatin remodeling of Th2 cytokine gene loci. However, it is unclear whether continuous expression of GATA3 is required to maintain the expression of various other Th2-specific genes. In this report, genome-wide DNA gene expression profiling revealed that GATA3 expression is critical for the expression of a certain set of Th2-specific genes. We demonstrated that GATA3 dependency is reduced for some Th2-specific genes in fully developed Th2 cells compared to that observed in effector Th2 cells, whereas it is unchanged for other genes. Moreover, effects of a loss of GATA3 expression in Th2 cells on the expression of cytokine and cytokine receptor genes were examined in detail. A critical role of GATA3 in the regulation of Th2-specific gene expression is confirmed in in vivo generated antigen-specific memory Th2 cells. Therefore, GATA3 is required for the continuous expression of the majority of Th2-specific genes involved in maintaining the Th2 cell identity. Mock-transfected and GATA3 siRNA-transfected Th2 and Th2-4th cells are profiled for mRNA expression

A novel small compound SH-2251 suppresses Th2 cell-dependent airway inflammation through selective modulation of chromatin status at the Il5 gene locus

Project description:IL-5 is a key cytokine that plays an important role in the development of pathological conditions in chronic allergic inflammation. Identification of a strategy to inhibit IL-5 production is important for establishment of new therapies for allergic inflammation. We found that SH-2251, a novel thioamide-related compound, selectively inhibits the differentiation of IL-5-producing Th2 cells. SH-2251 inhibited the formation of the active histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac) at the Il5 gene locus during Th2 cell differentiation. The recruitment of RNA polymerase II and the induction of Th2 cell-specific intergenic transcription between the Rad50 and Il5 gene locus was also inhibited. Furthermore, Th2 cell-driven airway inflammation in mice was suppressed by oral administration of SH-2251. We identified Gfi1 as a downstream target molecule of SH-2251 treatment. The expression of Gfi1 was dramatically decreased in SH-2251-treated Th2 cells. SH-2251-mediated inhibition of the IL-5-producing Th2 cell generation was restored by transduction of Gfi1. Thus, our study unearths SH-2251 as a novel therapeutic candidate for allergic inflammation that selectively inhibits IL-5 production. Gene expression in SH-2251-treated and untreated Th2 cells

Genome-wide analysis reveals unique regulation of transcription of Th2-specific genes by GATA3

Project description:Differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into type 2 helper (Th2) cells is accompanied by chromatin remodeling and increased expression of a set of Th2-specific genes including those encoding Th2 cytokines. IL-4-mediated STAT6 activation induces high levels of transcription of GATA3, a master regulator of Th2 cell differentiation, and enforced expression of GATA3 induces Th2 cytokine expression. However, it remains unclear whether the expression of other Th2-specific genes is induced directly by GATA3. A genome-wide unbiased ChIP-seq analysis revealed that GATA3 bound to 1,279 genes selectively in Th2 cells, and 101 genes in both Th1 and Th2 cells. Simultaneously, we identified 26 highly Th2-specific STAT6-dependent inducible genes by a DNA microarray analysis-based three-step selection processes, and among them 17 genes showed GATA3 binding. We assessed dependency on GATA3 for the transcription of these 26 Th2-specific genes, and 10 genes showed increased transcription in a GATA3-dependent manner while 16 genes showed no significant responses. The transcription of the 16 GATA3-nonresponding genes was clearly increased by the introduction of an active form of STAT6, STAT6VT. Therefore, although GATA3 has been recognized as a master regulator of Th2 cell differentiation, many Th2-specific genes are not regulated by GATA3 itself but in collaboration with STAT6. Th1 and Th2 subsets are profiled for mRNA expression Examination of GATA3-binding and 3 different histone modifications in Th1 and Th2 cells.

Identification of a new pathway for Th1 cell development induced by cooperative stimulation with IL-4 and TGFbeta [Agilent]

Project description:IL-4 plays an important role in the induction of Th2 and Th9 cells as well as in the inhibition of Th1 cell generation. We herein show that a combination of IL-4 and TGFbeta augment the development of Th1 cells that express CD103 (CD103+ Th1 cells) if IFNgamma is present. The T-box containing transcription factor, eomesodermin (Eomes) is preferentially expressed in CD103+ Th1 cells, and is involved in IFNgamma production. The induction of T-bet during early T cell activation is essential for the formation of the active chromatin at both the Eomes and IFNgamma gene loci. TGFbeta is required for the induction of Eomes and CD103, as well as the inhibition of Th2 cytokine expression. In addition, IL-4 induces Eomes transcription through activation of the Stat6 signaling pathway. IFNgamma-producing CD103+ Th1 cells are detected in the IEL of normal mice, and their numbers significantly decrease in Tbet- and Stat6-deficient mice. These results represent the first molecular mechanism of IL-4/TGFbeta-dependent augmentation of Th1 cell generation, and raise the possibility that IL-4 and TGFbeta may simultaneously enhance the Th1 cell-mediated immune responses under certain cytokine conditions. Th9+IFNgamma and Th9 cells are profiled for mRNA expression

The Menin–Bach2 axis is critical for regulating CD4 T cell senescence and homeostasis

Project description:Although CD4 T cell senescence plays an important role in immunosenescence, the mechanisms remain unclear. We found that T cell-specific Menin deficiency results in the premature senescence of CD4 T cells, accompanied by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) after antigenic stimulation. TH1 and TH2 differentiation was dysregulated in Menin-knockout CD4 T cells. Bach2, which regulates SASP and TH differentiation, was identified as a Menin target. Menin binds to the Bach2 locus, and controls its expression through maintenance of histone acetylation. These findings reveal a critical role of the Menin-Bach2 pathway in regulating CD4 T cell senescence and homeostasis, thus indicating the involvement of this pathway in the inhibition of age-associated development of inflammatory diseases, which are induced by immunosenescence.

The Menin-Bach2 axis is critical for regulating CD4 T cell senescence and cytokine homeostasis

Project description:Although CD4 T cell senescence plays an important role in immunosenescence, the mechanism behind this process remains unclear. Here we show that T cell-specific Menin deficiency results in the premature senescence of CD4 T cells, which is accompanied by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype after antigenic stimulation and dysregulated cytokine production. Menin is required for the expansion and survival of antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells in vivo and acts by targeting Bach2, which is known to regulate immune homeostasis and cytokine production. Menin binds to the Bach2 locus, and controls its expression through maintenance of histone acetylation. Menin binding at the Bach2 locus and the Bach2 expression are decreased in the senescent CD4 T cells. These findings reveal a critical role of the Menin-Bach2 pathway in regulating CD4 T cell senescence and cytokine homeostasis, thus indicating the involvement of this pathway in the inhibition of immunosenescence.

The polycomb protein Ezh2 regulates differentiation and plasticity of CD4 T helper type-1 and type-2 cells.

Project description:Following antigen encounter by CD4 T cells, polarizing cytokines induce the expression of master regulators that control differentiation. Inactivation of the histone methyltransferase Ezh2 was found to specifically enhance T-helper (Th)1 and Th2 cell differentiation and plasticity. Ezh2 directly bound and facilitated correct expression of Tbx21 and Gata3 in differentiating Th1 and Th2 cells, accompanied by substantial tri-methylation at lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27-Me3). In addition, Ezh2 deficiency resulted in spontaneous generation of discrete IFN-γ and Th2 cytokine-producing populations in non-polarizing cultures, and under these conditions IFN-γ expression was largely dependent on enhanced expression of the transcription factor Eomesodermin. In vivo, Loss of Ezh2 caused increased pathology in a model of allergic asthma and resulted in progressive accumulation of memory phenotype Th2 cells. This study establishes a functional link between Ezh2 and transcriptional regulation of lineage-specifying genes in terminally differentiated CD4 T cells. Wild type and Ezh2 knock out unpolarized Th cells, Th1 cells and Th2 cells are profiled for mRNA expression

A module-based translational strategy shows a central role for S100A4 in allergy

Project description:The involvement of thousands of genes complicates the identification of clinically relevant candidate genes in common diseases. We hypothesized that genes co-regulated with a key gene in allergy, IL13, would form a module that could help to discover novel candidate genes. We identified a Th2 cell module by siRNA mediated knock down of 25 putative IL13-regulating transcription factors (TFs) followed by expression profiling. Human CD4+ T cells (hBP CD4+ T cells, 2W-200, Lonza, Vallensbak Strand, Denkmark) were nucleofected either with nucleofection buffer, 1 ÂµM human on target plus SMART pool siRNA against ELK1, GATA3, NFATC3, MAF, NFKB1, JUN, STAT3 (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO) or non-targeting siRNA using the AMAXA nucleofection program U-014. Six hours after then nucleofection cells were washed, activated and polarized towards Th2. The CD4+ cells were activated with plate bound anti-CD3 (500ng / ml for coating of the plate), with soluble anti-CD28 (500ng / ml) and with IL-2 (17ng /ml, all purchased from R&D). Th2 polarization was induced with anti-IL-12 (5Âµg/ml) and IL-4 (10ng / ml). For RT-PCR and microarray analyisis the cells were harvested 12 hours of polarization and total RNA was extracted.
