Project description:The type 2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13 reside within a multi-gene cluster in mammals. These cytokines represent the hallmark of type 2 immune responses controlling parasites and promoting tissue repair, as well as causing allergic diseases. Both innate and adaptive lymphocytes secrete type 2 cytokines with discordant production spectra. We took a holistic structural and functional view of the type 2 cytokine locus before and after activation, comparing innate (ILC2) and adaptive (Th2) lymphocytes to understand mechanisms underlying their distinctive programs. Rapid induction of IL-5 dominates in ILC2, whereas IL-4 does so in Th2 cells. Using high-resolution chromatin conformation capture we found that global cellular chromatin architecture remained constant, whereas the type 2 cytokine locus rapidly remodeled. In ILC2, Il13 and Il5 loci were aligned in proximity whereas Il4 locus was insulated. In Th2 cells, Il4 and Il13 positioned in proximity while the Il5 locus remained distal. Select REs were individually deleted in mice to confirm cell-type specific and activation-dependent roles in type 2 responses in vivo. Thus, contrary to the premise that chromatin architecture plays a minimal role in steady-state gene induction, signal-dependent remodeling of 3D configuration underlies the discordant cytokine outputs in ILC2s versus Th2 cells.

Project description:Il4 and Il13 encode the canonical T helper 2 (TH2) cytokines responsible both for promoting immune responses against extracellular pathogens and, when misregulated, causing allergic and autoimmune disease. The expression potential of these genes undergoes developmentally programmed repression and enhancement during commitment of naïve CD4+ T cells to the mature T helper 1 (TH1) and TH2 fates, respectively. Thus, like the globin locus, the TH2 cytokine locus provides a highly tractable system to study a developmental fate choice leading to alternative transcriptional states of either silence or permissivity. We used quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation and RT-PCR to correlate changes in the transcriptional states of Il4 and Il13 with markers of permissive chromatin across the Il4-Il13 locus in naïve CD4+ T cells undergoing TH1 and TH2 differentiation. We provide evidence that DNaseI hypersensitive site V in the Il4 3' enhancer is the likely target for signals maintaining Il4 and Il13 transcriptional permissivity in naïve cells. We also demonstrate rapid acquisition of differences in H3 acetylation between TH1- and TH2-primed cells, indicating a developmentally early role for cytokine signaling in the process of TH cell fate determination. Finally, we show that transcriptional repression correlates with the disappearance of permissive H3 modifications from everywhere in the Il4-Il13 locus except hypersensitive site IV, suggesting a critical role for this element in the maintenance of transcriptional repression. Our findings are consistent with a progressive regulatory element activation/deactivation model of TH1/TH2 development.
