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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Cis-regulation between Irf8 enhancers during cDC1 development (CUT&RUN)

An Nfil3-Zeb2-Id2 pathway imposes Irf8 enhancer switching during cDC1 development (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Classical type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) are required for anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity, which has motivated a need to understand their development. The development of the cDC1 progentitor requires an E protein–dependent enhancer located 41 kilobases downstream of the transcription start site of the transcription factor IRF8 (+41 kb Irf8 enhancer) but its maturation instead requires the BATF3-dependent +32 kb Irf8 enhancer. To understand this switch, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of the common dendritic cell progenitor (CDP) and identified a cluster of cells that expressed transcription factors that influence cDC1 development, such as Nfil3, Id2, and Zeb2. Genetic epistasis among these factors revealed that Nfil3 expression is required for the transition from Zeb2hi and Id2lo CDPs to Zeb2lo and Id2hi CDPs, which represent the earliest committed cDC1 progenitors. This genetic circuit blocks E protein activity to exclude plasmacytoid DC potential and explains the switch in Irf8 enhancer usage during cDC1 development.

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.

Expression data from cDC2 derived from in vitro culture from Batf3 KO pre-cDC1 and IRF8 +32 KO pre-cDC1 compared to cDC1 derived from in vitro culture of WT pre-cDC1 or cDC2 derived from in vitro culture of WT pre-cDC2

Project description:We used gene expression microarrays to determine if Batf3 and the IRF8 +32 kb enhancer are required to sustain IRF8 expression in the pre-cDC1.

Optimization of the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer disrupts dendritic cell lineage segregation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Autoactivation of lineage-determining transcription factors (TFs) mediates bistable expression to generate distinct cell phenotypes essential for complex body plans. Classical dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) and type 2 (cDC2) provide non-redundant functions required for defense against distinct immune challenges. Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8), the cDC1 lineage-determining TF, undergoes autoactivation in cDC1 progenitors to establish cDC1 identity, yet its expression is downregulated during cDC2 differentiation by an unknown mechanism. This study reveals that the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer, responsible for IRF8 autoactivation, has been tuned to possess low-affinity IRF8 binding sites. Incorporation of multiple high-affinity IRF8 binding sites into the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer induces erroneous IRF8 autoactivation in specified cDC2 progenitors, causing their redirection towards cDC1 and a novel hybrid DC subset with mixed lineage phenotypes. These developmental alterations critically impair both cDC1- and cDC2-dependent arms of immunity. Collectively, our findings underscore the significance of enhancer suboptimization in the developmental segregation of classical dendritic cells required for normal immune function.

Genome wide profiling of active enhancers and IRF8-binding sites in murine mononuclear phagocyte lineage cells

Project description:To understand the mechanism underlying monocyte and dendritic cell development through the regulation of Irf8 expression by the 56 kb downstream (+56 kb) Irf8 enhancer, we performed epigenetic profiling of bone marrow cells and splenocytes from wild-type, the Irf8 +56 kb enhancer-deficient, and IRF8-deficient mice. Taken together with the transcriptome analysis of mononuclear phagocyte lineage cells in these mice, the Irf8 +56 kb enhancer-mediated high Irf8 expression in hematopoietic progenitor cells promote type 1 classical dendritic cell (cDC1) differentiation, while low Irf8 expression in progenitors led to Ly6C+ monocyte development. In addition, IRF8 ChIP-seq of mature cDC1s and monocytes suggested that IRF8 regulates enhancers in cooperation with different transcription factors in each lineage in its expression level.

Ablation of cDC2 specification by triple mutations in the Zeb2 enhancer [CUT&RUN]

Project description:The divergence of the common dendritic cell progenitor (CDP) into specified progenitors for the cDC1 and cDC2 dendritic cells subsets is poorly understood. Some transcription factors (TFs) act in commitment of already specified progenitors, such as Batf3 which stabilizes Irf8 autoactivation at the +32 kb Irf8 enhancer, but the mechanism of CDP divergence remains unknown. Here, we report the transcriptional basis of CDP divergence and describe the first requirements for pre-cDC2 specification. Genetic epistasis analysis suggested that Nfil3 acts upstream of Id2, Batf3, and Zeb2 in cDC1 development but has not revealed its mechanism or targets. Analysis of newly generated NFIL3 reporter mice showed extremely transient NFIL3 expression during cDC1 specification. CUT&RUN and ChIP-seq analysis identified endogenous NFIL3 binding in the –165 kb Zeb2 enhancer at three sites that also bind CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins C/EBPa and C/EBPb. In vivo mutational analysis using CRISPR/Cas9 targeting showed that these NFIL3/C/EBP sites are functionally redundant, with C/EBPs supporting and NFIL3 repressing Zeb2 expression at these sites, respectively. Mutation of all three NFIL3/C/EBP sites ablated Zeb2 expression in myeloid, but not lymphoid progenitors, causing complete loss of pre-cDC2 specification and mature cDC2 development in vivo. These mice failed to generate TH2 responses against H. polygyrus infection, consistent with cDC2 supporting TH2 responses to helminths. Thus, CDP divergence is controlled by competition between NFIL3 and C/EBPs at the –165 kb Zeb2 enhancer.
