Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in naïve CD4+ T cells, WT/EZH2-null TFH and TH1 cells

ABSTRACT: ATAC-Seq experiments were performed to elucidate the chromatin state changes among naïve CD4+ T cells, WT follicular helper T (TFH) cells and WT type 1 helper T (TH1) cells Day2 (D2), Day5 (D5), Day8 (D8) post-LCMV-Armstrong infection, as well as EZH2-null (KO) TFH and TH1 at Day8 post-LCMV-infection. The analysis suggested stringent lineage-specific mode of chromatin accessibility in each group, indicating chromatin remodeling is tightly associated with TFH versus TH1 lineage differentiation in response to acute viral infection. Furthermore, the comparison between wild-type and EZH2-null TFH cells showed that less-opening state of certain chromatin accessible region in TFH-differentiation associated genes in the formers, suggesting EZH2 led to permissive chromatin accessibility primarily at specific regions of TFH-associated genes. H3K27me3-ChIP-seq was performed in WT TFH and TH1 cells to confirm the deposition of the histone marks at those loci.

Gene expression data from LCMV-specific WT and Tcf7-/- follicular T helper cells

Project description:We did microarray experiments to elucidate the transcriptome changes due to TCF-1 deficiency in Tfh cells. These data clearly demonstrate that Tfh-associated genes were down-regulated in TCF-1-null Tfh cells, whereas Th1-associated signatures were up-regulated, indicating that TCF-1 initiates the Tfh fate by directly strengthening Tfh signatures while suppressing Th1-associated genes. We first sorted WT and TCF-1-null Tfh cells (2 samples per group, each sample was pooled from 4 mice) at day 8 after LCMV Armstrong infection. Then, we extracted RNA, which were subsequently sent to microarray analysis.

Early T-helper 1 Differentiation Is Marked by A Follicular Helper-like Transition: Differential Roles of STAT4 and T-bet

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells comprise an important subset of helper T cells; however, their relationship with other helper lineages is incompletely understood. Herein, we show IL-12 acting via signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) induced both Il21 and Bcl6 genes, generating cells with features of both Tfh and Th1 cells. However, STAT4 also induced T-bet. Using ChIP-seq, we defined the genome-wide targets of T-bet and found that it repressed Bcl6 and other markers of Tfh cells, thereby attenuating the nascent Tfh-like phenotype in the late phase of Th1 specification. Finally, Tfh-like T cells were rapidly generated following Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice, but T-bet constrained Tfh cells expansion and consequent germinal center formation and antibody production. Our data argue that Tfh and Th1 share a transitional stage through the signal mediated by STAT4, which promotes both phenotypes. However, T-bet represses Tfh functionalities, promoting full Th1 differentiation. The roles of STAT4 and T-bet to determine T helper cell fate were investigated by comparing DNA binding profiles of STAT4 and T-bet in Th1 conditions. The functional outcome was further evaluated by profiling DNase hypersensitivity sites and histone epigenetic marks between WT and STAT4-deficient or T-bet-deficient T cells in Th1 conditions.

TCF1 is required for the differentiation of T follicular helper (TFH) cells during viral infections

Project description:TFH and Th1 cells generated after viral or intracellular bacterial infections are critical for the control of infections and the development of immunological memories. However, the mechanisms that govern the choice of activated CD4 T cells to the two alternative fates remain unclear. Here, we found that reciprocal expression of TCF1 and Blimp1 between viral-specific TFH and Th1 cells started early after infection. TCF1 was intrinsically required for the differentiation of TFH cells. In the absence of TCF1, TFH cells failed to maintain their transcriptional and metabolic signatures, distinct from those in Th1 cells. Mechanistically, TCF1 functioned through forming negative feedback loops with IL-2 and Blimp1 signaling. Thus, we have demonstrated an essential role of TCF1 in TFH-cell differentiation. Tcf7 deficient and WT SMARTA CD4 T cells were isolated from mice 8 days after Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) infection. TFH and Th1 cells were separated by FACS.

Expression data from virus-specific mouse Th1 and Tfh CD4 T cell subsets after LCMV infection

Project description:CD4 T follicular helper (Tfh) cells provide the required signals to B cells for germinal center reactions that are necessary for longlived antibody responses. However, it remains unclear whether there are CD4+ memory T cells committed to the Tfh lineage after antigen clearance. Using adoptive transfer of antigen-specific memory CD4+ subpopulations (based on CXCR5 and Ly6c expression)in the LCMV infection model, we found that there are distinct memory CD4+ T cell populations with commitment to the Tfh and Th1 lineages. Our conclusions are based on gene expression profiles, epigenetic studies and phenotypic and functional analysis. The gene expression profiles of virus-specific CD4 T cell subets at effector and memory stages is presented here. The SMARTA TCR transgenic / adptive transfer system was used to identify and sort subsets of antigen-specific CD4 T cells (based on their expression of Ly6c and CXCR5) elicited after acute infection with LCMV (Arm).

Transcriptome analysis of early differentiating Tfh vs Th1 cells

Project description:Comparison of transcriptome between early Tfh vs. early Th1 cells Blimp-1-YFP LCMV gp specific TCRtg Smarta cells were transferred into B6 mice, which were then infected with LCMV Armstrong. On day 3 after infection, splenocytes were stained to sort Blimp-1-YFP+IL-2Ra+ Th1 cells or Blimp-1-YFP-IL-2Ra- Tfh cells for RNAseq analysis. Contributor: LIAI RNAi center (LIAI)

Gene expression data from LCMV-specific WT and Ezh2-/- follicular T helper cells

Project description:Microarray experiments were performed to elucidate the transcriptome changes due to EZH2 deficiency in follicular T helper (TFH) cells. These data suggest TFH-lineage associated genes are down-regulated in EZH2-null TFH cells, indicating that EZH2 primes TFH differentiation by regulating canonical genes of TFH cells.

Gene expression data from memory Rictor-/- and WT Tfh and Th1 cells in LCMV acute infection

Project description:Microarray experiments were performed to demonstrate the transcriptome changes due to Rictor deficiency in memory follicular T helper (Tfh) and Type 1 T helper (Th1) cells. These data revealed that the immunological memory formation and persistance associated genes are changed in Rictor-null memory Tfh and Th1 cells, indicating that Rictor is essential for memory CD4 T cell pool.

ZIKV infection induces robust Th1-like Tfh cell and long-term protective antibody responses in immunocompetent mice

Project description:Induction of long-lived antibody responses during infection or vaccination is often essential for subsequent protection, but the relative contributions of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and T helper 1 (Th1) cells for induction of antigen specific antibody responses to viruses are unclear. Here, we establish an acute Zika virus (ZIKV) infection model in immunocompetent mice, and show that ZIKV infection elicits robust Th1-like Tfh cell and protective antibody responses. While these Th1-like Tfh cells share phenotypic and transcriptomic profiles with both Tfh and Th1 cells, they also have unique surface markers and gene expression characteristics, and are dependent on T-bet for their development. Th1-like Tfh cells, but not Th1 cells, are essential for class switching of ZIKV-specific IgG2c antibodies and maintenance of long-term neutralizing antibody responses. Our study suggests that specific modulation of the Th1-like Tfh cell response during infection or vaccination may augment the induction of antiviral antibody response to ZIKV and other viruses.
