Chromosome contacts in activated T cells identify autoimmune disease-candidate genes

ABSTRACT: Autoimmune disease-associated DNA variants are preferentially found in regions with putative regulatory function in immune cells, particularly CD4+ T cells. Linking such regulatory elements to gene promoters in disease-relevant cells and contexts is essential to identify disease candidate genes. Here we show that the activation of CD4+ T cells invokes changes in the activity of regulatory elements and transcription of RNAs that correspond to changes in the expression of their interacting genes identified by promoter capture Hi-C (PCHi-C).

Regulatory T cells promote endurance exercise adaptation by shielding muscle mitochondria from damage

Project description:<p>Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regulatory elements activated in response to exercise remain obscure. Here, we have addressed the roles of Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the healthful activities of exercise via immunologic, transcriptomic, histologic, metabolic and biochemical analyses of acute and chronic murine exercise models. Exercise rapidly induced expansion of the muscle Treg compartment, thereby guarding against over-exuberant production of interferon gamma and consequent metabolic disruptions, particularly mitochondrial aberrancies. Importantly, the performance-enhancing effects of exercise training were dampened in the absence of Tregs. Thus, exercise is a natural Treg booster with therapeutic potential in disease and aging contexts.</p>

equine CD4+ T cells show changed membrane protein expression in autoimmune uveitis

Project description:Through this comparative proteomic study of equine CD4+ cells 376 membrane proteins could be identified. Several proteins showed changed abundance in horses affected by a spontaneous autoimmune disease (equine recurrent uveitis, ERU). Findings provide novel knowledge about changes in the CD4+ immune cell membrane proteome in a spontaneously and naturally occurring autoimmune disease in horses. The data is highly relevant for veterinary medicine and has proven translational quality for autoimmune uveitis in man.

Mapping the functional impact of non-coding regulatory elements in primary T cells through single-cell CRISPR screens

Project description:The vast majority of complex disease associations cannot be cleanly mapped to a gene, as they often lie within the non-cding fraction of the genome. Immune disease-associated variants are enriched within regulatory elements, such as distal enhancers, found in T cell-specific open chromatin regions. To identify the genes modulated by these regulatory elements, we developed a CRISPRi-based single-cell functional screening approach in primary human CD4+ T cells. We performed a proof-of-concept screen targeting 45 non-coding regulatory elements and 35 transcription start sites, each targeted by 4 different gRNAs. We profiled approximately 250,000 CD4+ T cell single-cell transcriptomes using 3' 10X Genomics.

Genomic Profiling of HMGN1 Reveals an Association with Chromatin at Regulatory Regions

Project description:High mobility group (HMG) proteins interact with other architectural proteins to regulate chromatin structure. We performed genome-wide mapping experiments to examine the distribution of HMGN1 across the human genome. We discovered that HMGN1 proteins are enriched at regulatory regions such as DNase I HS sites, distal transcription factor binding sites and promoters of actively transcribed genes. YY1, the Yin Yang 1 transcription factor, is a ubiquitous transcription factor that functions either as a transcriptional activator or a repressor, depending on its interacting partner. To test the preferential localization of HMGN1 with active regulatory regions, we examined the association of transcription factor YY1 and HMGN1 in CD4+ T cells. Examination of the genomic profile of HMGN1 and the relationship with regulatory elements in CD4+ T cells.

Integration of genetic and epigenetic data pinpoints autoimmune specific remodelling of enhancer landscape in CD4+ T cells

Project description:CD4+ T cells play a crucial role in adaptive immune responses and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases (ADs). Despite numerous studies, the molecular mechanisms underlying T cell dysregulation in ADs remain incompletely understood. Here, we used transcriptomic and epigenomic data from CD4+ T cells of healthy donors and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and Graves' disease to investigate the role of enhancers in AD pathogenesis. By generating enhancer-based gene regulatory networks (eGRNs), we identified disease-specific dysregulated pathways and potential downstream target genes of enhancers harbouring AD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which we also validated using CRISPRi in primary CD4+ T cells. Our results suggest that alterations in the regulatory landscapes of CD4+ T cells, including enhancers, contribute to the development of ADs and provide a basis for developing new therapeutic approaches.

Individuality and variation of personal regulomes in human T cells

Project description:We surveyed the variation and dynamics of active regulatory elements genome-wide in CD4+ T cells, using Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) in longitudinal samples from healthy volunteers and during T cell activation. We created robust pipelines that enable accurate single molecule counting and allelic discrimination from clinical material. Over 4000 regulatory elements (7.2%) showed reproducible personal variation in activity. Gender was the most significant attributable source of regulome variation. ATAC-seq revealed novel elements that escape X chromosome inactivation and predicted gender-specific gene regulatory networks across autosomes, which coordinately impact genes with immune function. Noisy regulatory elements with personal variation in accessibility are significantly enriched for autoimmune disease loci. Over one third of regulome variation lacked genetic variation in cis, suggesting contributions from environmental or epigenetic factors. These results refine concepts of human individuality and provide foundational reference to compare disease-associated regulomes. We examined chromatin structure using ATAC-seq in purified human CD4+ T cells in 33 samples from 12 healthy donors and 15 samples from 3 patients with cutaneous T cell leukemia (CTCL). For T cell activation (TCA) time course, CD4+ cells from healthy donor 1 isolated as above were stimulated with ionomycin (1 ug/mL) and Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA; 20 ng/mL) and collected at 0, 1, 2, 4 hours in duplicate.
