Decreased Th-1 CD4+ T cell function underlies recurrent respiratory infections in 17q12 deletion syndrome

ABSTRACT: The 17q12 deletion syndrome (17q12DS) is a chromosomal aberration with a heterozygous deletion of a 1.4 megabases (Mb)‒spanning DNA sequence on the long arm of chromosome 17. The well-known clinical characteristics of 17q12DS include abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tracts, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders. However, in our cohort of 37 subjects with 17q12DS, we observed increased atopic disorders and recurrent sinopulmonary infections requiring prolonged courses of antibiotic therapies and/ or hospitalizations, raising the possible immune dysregulation in 17q12DS, a point that has not been previously addressed. We thus tested the hypothesis that individuals with 17q12DS[KI1] have altered T-cell function, contributing to recurrent infections and[KI2] atopy. Here we found that individuals with 17q12DS had a substantially decreased frequency of CD4+ T cells producing the T helper (Th) 1 cytokine IFN[KI3]-g but not Th2 and Th17 cytokines compared to age-matched healthy controls (HCs). RNA seq analysis of CD4+ T cells revealed decreased levels of TBX21 encoding the Th1 transcription factor T-bet, IFNG, and other Th1 chemokine encoding genes in subjects with 17q12DS compared to HCs. These findings were validated at the protein level using flow cytometry and multiplex assay. Our study is the first to demonstrated immune alterations in 17q12DS characterized by decreased T-bet and its downstream molecules such as IFN-γ. These findings warrant further investigations into the underlying mechanisms, which would inform precision therapy for individuals with 17q12DS.

T-bet-depended but IFN-gamma-independent genes in GVHD

Project description:Given T-bet is a master regulator for Th1 differentiation that produce IFN-gamma, underlining mechanisms accounted for the distinct GVHD outcomes caused by T-bet- versus IFN-gamma-deficient donor T cells are unclear. We hypothesize that GVHD is regulated by T-bet-dependent but IFN-gamma-independent molecules. To identify these molecules, we isolated donor T cells from spleen cells of the recipients that were transplanted with WT, T-bet-/- or IFN-gamma-/- CD4 T cells for 7 days. The gene profile of isolated T cells was measured by microarray analysis using GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturerM-^Rs instructions. Array images were analyzed and processed by robust multi-array average (RMA) procedure.

STAT4 and T-bet control follicular helper T cells development in viral infections [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells promote germinal center (GC) B cell survival and proliferation, and guide their differentiation and Ig isotype switching by delivering contact-dependent and soluble factors, including IL-21, IL-4, IL-9, and IFN-g. IL-21 and IFN-g are co-expressed by Tfh cells during acute and chronic infections, but transcriptional regulation of these cytokines in the GC is incompletely understood. We show that the Th1 transcriptional regulators T-bet and STAT4 are co-expressed with Bcl6 in Tfh cells following acute murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, albeit with temporal decline in T-bet expression as the GC response evolved. T-bet was important for Tfh cell production of IFN-g, but not IL-21, and for the generation of a robust germinal center reaction. STAT4, phosphorylated in Tfh cells upon infection, was required for their expression of T-bet and Bcl6, and that of IFN-g and IL-21. These data indicate that T-bet is concomitantly expressed with Bcl6 in Tfh cells and is required alongside STAT4 phosphorylation to coordinate Tfh cell IL-21 and IFN-g production, and for promotion of the GC response following acute viral challenge.

The Transcription Factor T-bet Limits Amplification of Type I IFN Transcriptome and Circuitry in T Helper 1 Cells

Project description:Host defense requires the specification of CD4+ helper T (Th) cells into distinct fates including Th1 cells that preferentially produce interferon γ(IFN-γ ).IFN-γ , a member of a large family of anti-pathogenic and anti-tumor IFNs, induces T-bet, a lineage defining transcription factor for Th1 cells, which in turn supports IFN-γ production in a feed-forward manner. Herein, we show a cell intrinsic role of T- bet to influence how T cells perceive their secreted product in the environment. In the absence of T-bet, IFN-γ aberrantly induces a type I IFN transcriptomic program. T-bet preferentially represses genes and pathways ordinarily activated by type I IFNs to ensure that its transcriptional response does not evoke an aberrant amplification of type I IFN signaling circuitry otherwise triggered by its own product.

The Transcription Factor T-bet Is Induced by Multiple Pathways and Prevents an Endogenous Th2 Cell Program during Th1 Cell Responses

Project description:T-bet is a critical transcription factor for T helper 1 (Th1) cell differentiation. To study the regulation and functions of T-bet, we developed a T-bet-ZsGreen reporter mouse strain, in which GFP faithfully reflects the expression of T-bet. By using this tool, we report that signals elicited by IL-12 and IFNg are redundant in inducing T-bet in mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii and that T-bet does not contribute to its own expression when induced by IL-12 and IFNg. While both T-bet and Stat4 are critical for IFNg production, IFNg signaling is dispensable. Strikingly, loss of T-bet results in activation of an endogenous Th2 program in cells expressing T-bet-ZsGreen. Genome-wide analyses suggest T-bet directly induces Th1-related genes but indirectly suppresses Th2-related genes. Our study revealed redundancy and synergy among several Th1-inducing pathways in regulating the expression of T-bet and IFNg, and a critical role of T-bet in suppressing an endogenous Th2 program. RNA-Seq experiments were performed using total RNAs isolated from both wild type and Tbx21-/- Th1 cells in duplicates. Tbet ChIP-seq was performed using wild type Th1 cells. H3K4me1 and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq was performed using both wild type and Tbx21-/- Th1 cells.

The transcription factor Bhlhe40 is a switch of inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory Th1 cell fate determination

Project description:Type 1 T helper (Th1) cells play a critical role in host defense against intracellular pathogens and in autoimmune diseases by producing a key inflammatory cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ; some Th1 cells can also be anti-inflammatory through producing IL-10. However, the molecular switch for regulating the differentiation of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory Th1 cells is still elusive. Here we show that Bhlhe40-deficient CD4 Th1 cells produced less IFN-γ but substantially more IL-10 than wild type Th1 cells. Bhlhe40-mediated IFN-γ production was independent of transcription factor T-bet regulation. Mice with conditional deletion of Bhlhe40 in T cells succumbed to Toxoplasma gondii infection and blockage of IL-10 signaling during infection rescued these mice from death. Thus, our results demonstrate that transcription factor Bhlhe40 is a molecular switch for determining the fate of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory Th1 cells.

Genome-wide identification of functional elements regulated by T-bet and GATA3 in human T-cells

Project description:T-bet and GATA3 induce differentiation of CD4+ T-cells into Th1 or Th2 effectors. These exhibit a range of different properties but understanding of T-bet and GATA3 function is mostly limited to the murine Ifng and Il4/Il5/Il13 loci. We hypothesised that extending such analyses across the human genome would allow further insight into T-bet and GATA3 function. We have discovered that T-bet and GATA3 bind to multiple distal sites at a set of key immune regulatory genes. These sites display markers of functional elements, act as enhancers in reporter assays and are associated with lineage-specific expression regulated by T-bet and GATA3. Our approach also reveals that GATA3 is distributed at T-bet binding sites in Th1 cells and that T-bet directly activates its own expression. We propose that these aspects of T-bet and GATA3 function are critical for Th1/ Th2 differentiation and provide a model for the relationship between other lineage-specific regulators. ChIP was performed using antibody against T-bet in Th1 cells and against GATA3 in Th1 cells as well as Th2 cells. A sample of whole cell extract (WCE) from Th1 cells and Th2 cells was sequenced. Th1 WCE was used as the background to determine enrichment.

Distinct roles for IL-27 and IFN-g in the development of T-bet+ Treg required to limit infection-induced pathology

Project description:IL-27 is a potent antagonist of TH1-mediated inflammation, but the basis for this effect is not fully understood. Recent studies identified a population of T-bet+ CXCR3+ Treg that limit TH1-mediated immune pathology. The studies presented here demonstrate that IL-27-mediated STAT1 activation promotes Treg expression of T-bet and CXCR3. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii induced a similar Treg population that limits T cell responses and this population at mucosal sites is IL-27-dependent. Furthermore, transfer of Treg ameliorated the infection-induced CD4+ T cell-mediated pathology observed in IL-27p28-/- mice. Although IFN-γ promoted a similar population of cells in the periphery, it did not compensate for the absence of IL-27 at mucosal sites and microarray analysis revealed that Treg exposed to either cytokine have distinct transcriptional profiles. These findings suggest that IFN-γ and IL-27 have different roles in Treg biology but define IL-27 as a key cytokine that promotes the development of Treg specialized to control TH1 immunity. Three conditions were analyzed across two timepoints. Inducible regulatory T cells (iTreg) were generated in vitro in the presence of IL-27, IFNg or under 'Neutral' conditions as a control. Samples were collected at 10 hours and 2 days during the culture period. Three biological replicates were used for each condition.

Gene expression analysis of CD4+ and CD4- ILC1 subsets by RNAseq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-Î³; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq

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.
