IL-21 induces antitumor response in NK cells via CEBPD

ABSTRACT: NK cells engineered to express IL-21 (IL-21 NK) acquire strong antitumor activity, with the ability to respond to glioblastoma (GBM) rechallenge in vitro and in vivo. IL-21 NK cells have a unique signature of chromatin accessibility, with CCAAT/Enhancer-Binding Protein (C/EBP), especially CEBPD, serving as key transcription factors regulating their memory response.

Project description:We carried out CEBPD chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and revealed that the top motif enriched in CEBPD sites are identical to the CEBPD family motif and osteoblast differentiation/bone formation motifs like Fos1, Fra1, JUNB, RUNX and STAT3. The commitment of stem cells to an osteoblastic lineage is a complex and tightly regulated process, involving coordination between extrinsic signals and intrinsic transcriptional machinery. While many rodent osteoblast studies abound, human osteoblastic signaling networks are not as well-researched due to limitations in cell sources and existing models. Here, we generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived osteoblasts and used this modeling platform to identify functional osteoblastic surface receptors and their downstream transcriptional networks involved in human osteogenesis. We systematically dissected osteoblastic gene expression patterns and identified critical clusters associated with osteogenesis. The osteoblast surface receptor signature study revealed enriched CORIN expression in osteoblasts and enriched SDC1 expression in MSCs. In vitro calcified staining and 3D biomimetic GelMA/microCT (μCT) studies demonstrated that depletion of CORIN as well as ectopic expression of SDC1 significantly impaired osteogenesis. Transcriptome analyses revealed that dysregulation of CORIN or SDC1 alters biological processes and pathways mainly involved in bone formation associated signaling including TGFβ regulating extracellular matrix and Wnt signaling. Genome-wide ChIP enrichment analysis further indicated that CEBPD is a downstream transcription factor involved in CORIN and SDC1-modulated osteogenesis. CEBPD ChIP-seq and RNA-seq validated its role in controlling extracellular matrix organization, bone mineralization, and TGFβ, BMP, and Wnt signaling. Depletion of CEBPD led to impairment of osteoblastic differentiation. Differential expression analysis of single-cell transcriptomes revealed enriched expression of CEBPD and its transcriptional targets during the different stages of osteoblast differentiation. In summary, our findings elucidated the vital signaling in osteoblast lineage commitment.
