Project description:The basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional repressor twist1, as an antagonist of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-dependent cytokine expression, is involved in the regulation of inflammation-induced immunopathology. We could show that twist1 is expressed by activated T helper (Th) 1 effector memory cells. Induction of twist1 in Th cells is dependent on NF-κB, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and interleukin (IL)-12 signaling via signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 4. Expression of twist1 is transient following T-cell receptor engagement, and increases upon repeated stimulation of Th1 cells. Imprinting for enhanced twist1 expression is characteristic of repeatedly restimulated effector memory Th cells and thus of the pathogenic memory Th cells of chronic inflammation. Th lymphocytes from the inflamed joint or gut tissue of patients with rheumatic diseases, Crohnâ??s disease or ulcerative colitis express high levels of twist1. Expression of twist1 in Th1 lymphocytes limits the expression of the cytokines interferon-γ, IL-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α, and ameliorates Th1-mediated immunopathology in delayed-type hypersensitivity and antigen-induced arthritis. In order to identify the effect of twist1 expression on the function of Th cells, twist1 was ectopically expressed and the transcriptome was compared to empty-virus infected control cells. In addition, this experiment allows for the identification of genes regulated by the transcription factor twist1. Experiment Overall Design: Genes differentially expressed upon ectopic twist1 overexpression. Splenic DO11.10 cells were activated in vitro with the cognate peptide ova327-339 in the presence of 1ng/ml IL-12 and 1ng/ml IL-2. On day 2 cells were infected with control virus, or twist1-encoding virus. On day 5 cells were sorted according to expression of the viral marker gene gfp. Cells were restimulated for four hours with PMA/ionomycin. The transcriptional profiles of duplicates of cultures were compared using Affymetrix Murine Genome (MG) 430A 2.0 GeneChip arrays.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of repeatedly activated compared to recently activated Th1 cells to identify genes that play a role in chronic inflammatory disorders and may qualify as diagnostic or therapeutic targets; Upon activation under appropriate costimulatory conditions, naive T helper (Th) cells differentiate into Th2 or Th17 cells, each characterized by the expression of specific effector cytokines. In response to a repeated stimulation with antigen, Th cells develop a stable memory for the expression of those cytokines as well as for other secreted or membrane-associated factors. The stable memory for the expression of proinflammatory effector functions may explain the resistance of Th effector cells to conventional immunosuppressive therapy, and the inability of immunosuppression to cure chronic inflammation. The imprinting of the functional memory is based on epigenetic modifications and expression of distinct transcription factors. In this project, we compare the transcriptomes of once and repeatedly activated murine Th1 cells, to identify genes that induce and maintain the functional memory and control the persistence of pathogenic memory Th1 cells. This in turn might help to discriminate pathogenic versus protective cells in immunopathology and present novel targets for the diagnosis and therapy of chronic inflammatory disease.

Project description:Memory helper T (Th) cells are crucial for secondary immune responses against infectious microorganisms but also drive the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to understand how memory T cells are generated. However, the molecular mechanisms governing memory Th cell generation remain incompletely understood. Here, we identified CD30 as a molecule heterogeneously expressed on effector Th1 and Th17 cells, and CD30hi effector Th1 and Th17 cells preferentially generated memory Th1 and Th17 cells. We found that CD30 mediated signal induced Transglutaminase-2 (TG2) expression, and that the TG2 expression in effector Th cells is essential for memory Th cell generation. In fact, Cd30-deficiency resulted in the impaired generation of memory Th1 and Th17 cells, which can be rescued by overexpression of TG2. Furthermore, transglutaminase-2 (Tgm2)-deficient CD4 T cells failed to become memory Th cells. As a result, T cells from Tgm2-deficient mice displayed impaired antigen-specific antibody production and attenuated Th17-mediated allergic responses. Our data indicate that CD30-induced TG2 expression in effector Th cells is essential for the generation of memory Th1 and Th17 cells, and that CD30 can be a marker for precursors of memory Th1 and Th17 cells.

Project description:The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Twist1 has a well-documented role in mesenchymal populations of the developing embryo, such as endocardial cushion (ECC) mesenchymal cells and limb buds, and during cancer development and progression. Whether Twist1 regulates the same transcriptional targets in different cell types has yet to be investigated. Through chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (Chip-seq) analysis, the cell type-specific genome-wide occupancy of Twist1 was investigated in ECCs, limb buds and mouse peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) cells. Twist1 binds mainly in a cell type-specific manner, with very few common genomic regions occupied by Twist1 in different cell types. Genes associated with binding peaks in each cell type are related to known Twist1 cellular functions in ECCs, limb buds, and cancer cells. We found that cell type-specific binding of Twist1 may be influenced by histone modifications or co-factors. Binding regions were located in several Wnt pathway associated genes, supporting a link between Twist1 and Wnt signalling in ECCs, limb buds, and PNST cells. These data suggest that similar functions are regulated by Twist1 in ECCs, limb buds, and PNST cells in a cell type-specific manner, and provide insights into possible mechanisms utilized for cell type-specificity of Twist1 binding. We compare Twist1 genome occupancy in mouse embryonic day (E) 12.5 endocardial cushion mesenchymal cells, E10.5 forelimb buds, and a mouse peripheral nerve sheath tumor cell line.

Project description:TWIST1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor is essential for the development of cranial mesoderm and cranial neural crest-derived craniofacial structures. Our previous work showed that, in the absence of TWIST1, some cells within the cranial mesoderm adopt an abnormal epithelial configuration. Here, we show by transcriptome analysis that loss of TWIST1 in the cranial mesoderm is accompanied by a reduction in the expression of genes that are associated with cell-extracellular matrix interactions and the acquisition of mesenchymal characteristics. By comparing the transcriptional profiles of cranial mesoderm-specific Twist1 loss-of-function mutant and control mouse embryos, we identified a set of genes that are both TWIST1-dependent and predominantly expressed in the mesoderm. By ChIP-seq in a cell line model of a TWIST1-dependent mesenchymal state, we identified, among the downstream genes, three direct transcriptional targets of TWIST1: Ddr2, Pcolce and Tgfbi. Our findings show that the mesenchymal properties of the cranial mesoderm is likely to be regulated by a network of TWIST1 targets genes that influence the extracellular matrix and cell-matrix interactions, and collectively they are required for the morphogenesis of the craniofacial structures. Cranial neural crest and cranial mesoderm cells were isolated by flow sorting of GFP reporter-labelled cells collected from heads of E9.5 mouse embryos. Three replicates were independently isolated and hybridized to Illumina mouse WG v 2.0 chips

Project description:Twist1 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor and is a key regulator of craniofacial development. Mutations of TWIST1 gene in human are associated with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS), a developmental disorder characterized by facial and skull malformations, which are phenocopied by Twist1-null heterozygous mice. Mechanisms that dictate the tissue-specificity of Twist1 in regulating distinct transcriptional targets in different craniofacial cell types remain to be determined. Our work using mass-spectrometry and co-expression analysis in cell lines and embryonic head tissues has revealed that the most prevalent forms of TWIST1 were homodimers and heterodimers with E-proteins (TCF3,TCF4 and TCF12). RNA-seq analysis of embryoid bodies expressing tethered TWIST-E-protein dimers, and ChIP-seq profiling of TWIST1 genome-wide binding sites revealed mechanisms of TWIST1 functional regulation. This study highlighted the pleiotropic roles of TWIST1 dimers in development and revealed a potential molecular mechanism underpinning Twist1-related developmental defects of craniofacial tissues.

Project description:Twist1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is expressed in mesenchymal precursor populations during embryogenesis and in metastatic cancer cells. In the developing heart, Twist1 is highly expressed in endocardial cushion (ECC) valve mesenchymal cells and is down regulated during valve differentiation and remodeling. Previous studies demonstrated that Twist1 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and expression of primitive ECM molecules in ECC mesenchymal cells. Furthermore, Twist1 expression is induced in human pediatric and adult diseased heart valves. However, the Twist1 downstream target genes that mediate increased cell proliferation and migration during early heart valve development remain largely unknown. Candidate gene and global gene profiling approaches were used to identify direct transcriptional targets of Twist1 during heart valve development. Candidate target genes were analyzed for evolutionarily conserved regions (ECRs) containing E-box consensus sequences that are potential Twist1 binding sequences. ECRs containing conserved E-box sequences were identified for Twist1 responsive genes Tbx20, Cdh11, Sema3C, Rab39b, and Gadd45a. Twist1 binding to these sequences in vivo was determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, and binding was detected in ECCs but not late stage remodeling valves. In addition identified Twist1 target genes are highly expressed in ECCs and have reduced expression during heart valve remodeling in vivo which is consistent with the expression pattern of Twist1. Together these analyses identify multiple new genes involved in cell proliferation and migration that are differentially expressed in the developing heart valves, are responsive to Twist1 transcriptional function, and contain Twist1 responsive regulatory sequences. Murine MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells were treated with siScrambled control or siTwist1 to achieve knockdown of Twist1. Both siScr and siTwist1 were performed in triplicate. Isolated RNA was analyzed with Affymetrix muring MOE 430 2.0 gene chip microarray.
