RNA-seq analysis of mouse cDC1 and cDC2 populations upon DC-SCRIPT depletion

ABSTRACT: The functional diversification of dendritic cells (DCs) is a key step in establishing protective immune responses. Despite the importance of this lineage diversity, its genetic basis is not fully understood. DC-SCRIPT (Zfp366) is a poorly known transcription factor expressed in conventional DCs (cDCs) and their committed bone marrow progenitors but not in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). We show that mice lacking DC-SCRIPT displayed substantially impaired development of IRF8-dependent conventional DC1 (cDC1), while cDC2 differentiated normally. The residual DC-SCRIPT-deficient cDC1s had impaired CD8+ T-cell cross-priming, which could be in part explained by the direct control of DC-SCRIPT on IL-12p40 production. Genome-wide mapping of DC-SCRIPT binding and gene expression analyses revealed a key role for DC-SCRIPT in maintaining cDC1 identity via the direct regulation of cDC1 signature genes, including Irf8. Our study reveals DC-SCRIPT to be a critical component of the gene regulatory program shaping the functional attributes of cDC1s.

DC-SCRIPT (Zpf366) binding in cDC1 and cDC2 cells from wildtype and DC-SCRIPT knockout mice

Myocardial infarction (MI) primes autoreactive T cells through activation of dendritic cells

Project description:DC subsets of the murine healthy heart consisted of IRF8-dependent conventional (c)DC1, IRF4-dependent cDC2 and monocyte-derived DCs. In steady state, cardiac self-antigen α-myosin was presented in heart-draining mediastinal lymph node (mLN) by cDC1s, driving the proliferation of antigen-specific CD4+ TCR-M T cells, and their differentiation into Tregs. Following MI, all DC subsets infiltrated the heart, while only cDCs migrated to the mLN. Here, cDC2s induced TCR-M proliferation and differentiation into IL-17/IFNγ producing effector cells. Thus, cardiac specific autoreactive T cells get activated by mature DCs following myocardial infarction.

DC-SCRIPT binds GA-rich enhancers to control MAPK-signaling and IL-10 production in human dendritic cells

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) uniquely direct the adaptive immune response towards activation or inhibition, yet little is known how these opposite programs are regulated at the transcriptional level. Here we applied genome-wide approaches to delineate the molecular function of DC-Specific transCRIPT (DC-SCRIPT/ZNF366), an 11 Zn finger-containing transcription factor potentiating DC-function by limiting IL-10 production. Transcriptome analysis identified DC-SCRIPT to affect expression of genes involved in MAPK signaling, and ChIP-Seq analysis showed binding of DC-SCRIPT to GA-rich enhancers nearby genes encoding MAPK Dual-Specificity Phosphatases (DUSPs). Functional studies demonstrated that DC-SCRIPT-knockdown DCs express much less DUSP4 and exhibit increased phosphorylation of all the three major MAPKs (ERK, JNK and p38). Enhanced ERK signaling in DC-SCRIPT-knockdown DCs led to higher production of the immune-inhibitory cytokine IL-10, which could be reverted by DUSP4 overexpression. These results delineate the molecular mechanism DC-SCRIPT employs to limit IL-10 production in DCs, thereby fine-tuning these professional antigen-presenting cells towards immune activation.

IRF8 transcription factor controls survival and function of terminally differentiated conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cells respectively

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8) has been proposed to be essential for development of monocytes, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) and remains highly expressed in differentiated DCs. Transcription factors that are required to maintain the identity of terminally differentiated cells are designated “terminal selectors”. Using BM chimeras, conditional Irf8fl/fl mice and various promotors to target Cre recombinase to different stages of monocyte and DC development, we have identified IRF8 as a terminal selector of the cDC1 lineage controlling survival. In monocytes, IRF8 was necessary during early but not late development. Complete or late deletion of IRF8 had no effect on pDC development or survival but altered their phenotype and gene expression profile leading to increased T cell stimulatory function but decreased type 1 interferon production. Thus, IRF8 differentially controls the survival and function of terminally differentiated monocytes, cDC1s and pDCs.

ATAC-seq of dendritic cell progenitors

Project description:Induction of the transcription factor Irf8 in the common dendritic cell progenitor (CDP) is required for classical type 1 dendritic cell (cDC1) fate specification, but the mechanisms controlling this induction are unclear. Here we identified Irf8 enhancers and used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to assess their roles in Irf8 regulation. An enhancer 32 kilobases downstream of the Irf8 transcriptional start site (+32 kb Irf8) that was active in mature cDC1s was required for the development of this lineage, but not for its specification. Instead, a +41 kb Irf8 enhancer previously thought to be active only in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) was found to also be transiently accessible in cDC1 progenitors. Deletion of this enhancer reduced Irf8 expression in pDCs as expected, but also surprisingly prevented the induction of Irf8 in CDPs and abolished cDC1 specification. Thus, cryptic activation of the +41 kb Irf8 enhancer in DC progenitors is responsible for cDC1 fate specification.

Cis-regulation between Irf8 enhancers during cDC1 development (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Type 1 classical dendritic cells (cDC1s) development requires the transcription factor IRF8, and IRF8 mutations cause severe combined immunodeficiency, including disseminated bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) disease. IRF8 regulated enhancers are required for Irf8 expression in early DC progenitors and mature cDC1s. The E-protein-dependent +41 kb enhancer gains accessibility and activates transcription in common DC progenitors (CDPs), and its depletion abrogated pre-cDC1s specification. The Batf3-dependent +32 kb enhancer gains accessibility and activates transcription in pre-cDC1 progenitors, and its depletion impaired cDC1 maturation. The +32 kb Irf8 enhancer locus bears an enhancer transcript, and the production of enhancer RNA (eRNA) Gm39266 is dependent on +41 kb Irf8 enhancer. It was unclear whether the +32 kb and +41 kb enhancers act independently or cooperate to regulate Irf8 expression. We dissected the mechanisms using +32/+41 compound heterozygous mice, and found that while the +41 kb enhancer suffices for pre-cDC1 progenitor specification, the +32 kb and +41 kb enhancers must reside on one allele to support cDC1 maturation. The +41 kb enhancer cis-regulates chromatin accessibility and BATF3 binding at +32 kb enhancer, independent of eRNA Gm39266 transcripts or transcription across +32 kb Irf8 enhancer.
