Hobit and Blimp-1 instruct the differentiation of iNKT cells into resident-phenotype lymphocytes after lineage commitment.

ABSTRACT: iNKT cells are CD1d-restricted T cells that play a pro-inflammatory or regulatory role in infectious and autoimmune diseases. Thymic precursors of iNKT cells eventually develop into distinct iNKT1, iNKT2, and iNKT17 lineages in the periphery. It remains unclear whether iNKT cells retain developmental potential after lineage commitment. iNKT cells acquire a similar phenotype as tissue-resident memory T cells, suggesting that they also differentiate along a trajectory that enables them to persist in peripheral tissues. Here, we addressed whether lineage commitment and memory differentiation are parallel or sequential developmental programs of iNKT cells. We defined three subsets of peripheral iNKT cells using CD62L and CD69 expression that separate central, effector, and resident memory phenotype cells. The majority of iNKT1 cells displayed a resident phenotype in contrast to iNKT2 and iNKT17 cells. The transcription factor Hobit, which is upregulated in iNKT cells, plays an essential role in their development together with its homolog Blimp-1. Hobit and Blimp-1 instructed the differentiation of central memory iNKT cells into resident memory iNKT cells, but did not impact commitment into iNKT1, iNKT2, or iNKT17 lineages. Thus, we conclude that memory differentiation and the establishment of residency occur after lineage commitment through a Hobit and Blimp-1-driven transcriptional program.

Discrete regulatory modules instruct hematopoietic lineage commitment and differentiation.

Project description:Lineage commitment and differentiation is driven by the concerted action of master transcriptional regulators at their target chromatin sites. Multiple efforts have characterized the key transcription factors (TFs) that determine the various hematopoietic lineages. However, the temporal interactions between individual TFs and their chromatin targets during differentiation and how these interactions dictate lineage commitment remains poorly understood. Here we perform dense, daily, temporal profiling of chromatin accessibility (DNase I-seq) and gene expression changes (total RNA-seq) along ex vivo human erythropoiesis to comprehensively define developmentally regulated DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) and transcripts. We link both distal DHSs to their target gene promoters and individual TFs to their target DHSs, revealing that the regulatory landscape is organized in distinct sequential regulatory modules that regulate lineage restriction and maturation. Finally, direct comparison of transcriptional dynamics (bulk and single-cell) and lineage potential between erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis uncovers differential fate commitment dynamics between the two lineages as they exit the stem and progenitor stage. Collectively, these data provide insights into the temporally regulated synergy of the cis- and the trans-regulatory components underlying hematopoietic lineage commitment and differentiation.

Effector differentiation downstream of lineage commitment in ILC1s is driven by Hobit across tissues.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) participate in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and early immunity against infection. It is unclear how ILCs acquire effector function and whether these mechanisms differ between organs. Through multiplexed single-cell mRNA sequencing, we identified cKit+CD127hiTCF-1hi early differentiation stages of T-bet+ ILC1s. These cells were present across different organs and had the potential to mature toward CD127intTCF-1int and CD127-TCF-1- ILC1s. Paralleling a gradual loss of TCF-1, differentiating ILC1s forfeited their expansion potential while increasing expression of effector molecules, reminiscent of T cell differentiation in secondary lymphoid organs. The transcription factor Hobit was induced in TCF-1hi ILC1s and was required for their effector differentiation. These findings reveal sequential mechanisms of ILC1 lineage commitment and effector differentiation that are conserved across tissues. Our analyses suggest that ILC1s emerge as TCF-1hi cells in the periphery and acquire a spectrum of organ-specific effector phenotypes through a uniform Hobit-dependent differentiation pathway driven by local cues.

Blimp-1 Rather Than Hobit Drives the Formation of Tissue-Resident Memory CD8+ T Cells in the Lungs.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T (TRM) cells that develop in the epithelia at portals of pathogen entry are important for improved protection against re-infection. CD8+ TRM cells within the skin and the small intestine are long-lived and maintained independently of circulating memory CD8+ T cells. In contrast to CD8+ TRM cells at these sites, CD8+ TRM cells that arise after influenza virus infection within the lungs display high turnover and require constant recruitment from the circulating memory pool for long-term persistence. The distinct characteristics of CD8+ TRM cell maintenance within the lungs may suggest a unique program of transcriptional regulation of influenza-specific CD8+ TRM cells. We have previously demonstrated that the transcription factors Hobit and Blimp-1 are essential for the formation of CD8+ TRM cells across several tissues, including skin, liver, kidneys, and the small intestine. Here, we addressed the roles of Hobit and Blimp-1 in CD8+ TRM cell differentiation in the lungs after influenza infection using mice deficient for these transcription factors. Hobit was not required for the formation of influenza-specific CD8+ TRM cells in the lungs. In contrast, Blimp-1 was essential for the differentiation of lung CD8+ TRM cells and inhibited the differentiation of central memory CD8+ T (TCM) cells. We conclude that Blimp-1 rather than Hobit mediates the formation of CD8+ TRM cells in the lungs, potentially through control of the lineage choice between TCM and TRM cells during the differentiation of influenza-specific CD8+ T cells.

Hobit and Blimp1 instruct a universal transcriptional program of tissue-residency in lymphocytes

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) permanently localize to portals of pathogen entry, where they provide immediate protection against re-infection. To enforce tissue retention, Trm upregulate CD69 and downregulate molecules associated with tissue egress including CCR7 and S1PR1. Although suppression of the transcription factor KLF2 in Trm prevents S1PR1-driven migration, a Trm-specific transcriptional regulator has not been identified. Here, we show that the transcription factor Hobit is specifically upregulated in Trm and together with related Blimp1, mediates the development of Trm in skin, gut, liver and kidney. Importantly, the Hobit/Blimp1 transcriptional module is also required for other populations of tissue-resident lymphocytes including NKT cells and liver-resident NK cells, all of which share a common transcriptional program that includes repression of Ccr7, S1pr1, and Klf2. Our results identify Hobit and Blimp1 as central regulators of this universal program that instructs tissue retention in diverse tissue-resident lymphocyte populations.

Hobit and Blimp1 instruct a universal transcriptional program of tissue-residency in lymphocytes

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) are non-circulating memory T cells that localize to portals of pathogen entry such as the skin, gut and lung where they provide efficient early protection against reinfection. Trm are characterized by a molecular profile that actively prevents egress from peripheral sites including the constitutive expression of the lectin CD69 and down-regulation of the chemokine receptor (CCR)7 and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1). This program is partially mediated by down-regulation of the transcription factor KLF2; however, to date no transcriptional regulator specific to Trm has been identified. Here we show that the Blimp1 related transcription factor Hobit is specifically upregulated in Trm and together with Blimp1, mediates the development and maintenance of Trm in various tissues including skin, gut, liver and kidney. Importantly, we found that the Hobit/Blimp1 transcriptional module is also required for other tissue-resident lymphocytes including Natural Killer T (NKT) cells and liver tissue-resident NK cells (trNK). We show that these populations share a universal transcriptional program with Trm instructed by Hobit and Blimp1 that includes the repression of CCR7, S1PR1 and KLF2 thereby enforcing tissue retention. Our results identify Hobit and Blimp1 as major common regulators that drive the differentiation of distinct populations of tissue-resident lymphocytes.
