Effect of deletion of UTX expression in NY8.3 progenitor CD8+ T cells

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting from the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. This persistence is due to the continual replenishment of short-live effector CD8+ T cells (autoimmune mediators, Tmed) in the pancreatic lymph nodes (pLNs) by a long-lived reservoir of stem-like memory CD8+ T cells (autoimmune progenitors, Tprog). We are investigating an epigenetic regulator UTX playing the role in Tprog to Tmed conversion. The NOD mice with T cell-specific UTX deficiency (UTXTCD mice) were protected from T1D. In addition, the deletion of UTX in CD8+ T cells resulted in the accumulation of Tprog and loss of Tmed populations in pLNs. The function of UTX is to demethylate the histone mark, H3K27 tri-methylation, leading to the open chromatin accessibility for gene expression. ATAC-seq and RNA-seq of antigen specific Tprog cells revealed a role of UTX in closing chromatin at progenitor gene loci while enforcing accessibility at effector gene loci. Taken together, these findings point to the potential of targeting UTX-mediated conversion of Tprog into Tmed for interrupting the T1D autoimmune response.

Gender bias in autoimmunity is influenced by microbiota

Project description:Gender bias and the role of sex hormones in autoimmune diseases are well established. In specific-pathogen free (SPF) non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice females have 1.3-4.4 times higher incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Germ-free (GF) mice lose the gender bias (female/male ratio 1.1-1.2). Gut microbiota differed in males and females, a trend reversed by male castration, confirming that androgens influence gut microbiota. Colonization of GF NOD mice with defined microbiota revealed that some but not all lineages overrepresented in male mice supported a gender bias in T1D, and protection did not correlate with androgen levels. However, hormone-supported selective microbial lineage variation may work as a positive feedback mechanism contributing to the sexual dimorphism of autoimmune diseases. Gene expression analysis suggested pathways involved in protection of males from T1D by microbiota. We compared gene expression patterns in the pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) between four groups of mice (two genders in SPF and GF conditions, respectively). PLNs were isolated from 9-10 week old GF and SPF male and female NOD mice with 3 mice in each group, for a total of 12 samples.

Proteomic identification of MHC class I-associated peptidome derived from non-obese diabetic mouse thymus and pancreas

Project description:The peptides repertoire presented to CD8+ T cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, referred to as the MHC I-associated peptidome (MIP), regulates all critical events that occur during the lifetime of CD8+ T cells. The MIP presented by thymic antigen presenting cells (APCs) is crucial for shaping CD8+ T cell repertoire and self-tolerance, while the MIP presented by peripheral tissues and organs is not only involved in maintaining periphery CD8+ T cell survival and homeostasis, but also mediates immune surveillance and autoimmune responses of CD8+ T cells under pathological conditions. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease caused by the destruction pancreatic β cells, mediated primarily by autoreactive CD8+ T cells. Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is one of important animal models of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes that shares several key features with human T1D. Here, we deeply analyzed the MIP derived from the primary tissues of thymus and pancreas in NOD mice using targeted database searches of mass spectrometry data. We demonstrated that the thymus MIP source proteins accommodated only a small portion of the transcriptome of thymus epithelial cells, and partially shared with the MIP source proteins derived from NOD mice pancreas and β cell line. The global view of the MHC I-associated self-peptides repertoire in the thymus and pancreas of NOD mice may serve as a biological reference to identify potential autoantigens targeted by autoreactive CD8+ T cells in T1D.

Histone H3K27 demethylase negatively controls the memory formation of Ag-stimulated CD8+ T cells

Project description:Although the methylation status of histone H3K27 plays a critical role in CD4+ T cell differentiation and its function, the role of Utx, histone H3K27 demethylase, in the CD8+ T cell-dependent immune response remains unclear. We therefore generated T cell-specific Utx knockout (Utx KO) mice to determine the role of Utx in CD8+ T cells. Wild-type (WT) and Utx KO mice were infected with Listeria monocytogenes expressing OVA to analyze the immune response of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells upon primary and secondary infections. There was no significant differences in the primary expansion of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells between WT and Utx KO mice. However, Utx deficiency resulted in an increased secondary expansion of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells. Adoptive transferred Utx KO CD8+ T cells resulted in increased numbers of CD127hi KLRG1lo memory precursors in the primary expansion and larger numbers of memory cells. We observed a decreased gene expression of effector-associated transcription factors, including Prdm1 encoding Blimp1, in Utx KO CD8+ T cells upon primary infection. We confirmed that the tri-methylation level of histone H3K27 in the Prdm1 gene loci in the Utx KO cells was higher than in the WT cells. The treatment of CD8+ T cells with Utx-cofactor α-ketoglutarate hampered the memory formation, while Utx-inhibitor GSK-J4 enhanced the memory formation and increased the secondary expansion in WT CD8+ T cells. These data suggest that Utx negatively controls the memory formation of Ag-stimulated CD8+ T cells by epigenetically regulating the expression of genes, including Prdm1. Based on these findings, we identified a critical link between Utx and the differentiation of Ag-stimulated CD8+ T cells upon infection

CITEseq of lymphocytes from pancreatic lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes, and spleen from 20 Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP) donors

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, leading to life-long dependence on exogenous insulin. Profiling immune cells that infiltrate islets would be invaluable to understanding how beta cell destruction occurs. However, human pancreatic samples demonstrating active infiltration and beta cell destruction are rare. Alternatively, peri-pancreatic lymph nodes (pLNs) or other secondary lymphoid organs may harbor immune cells which participate in memory responses that drive T1D autoimmunity. To study the immune response throughout T1D onset and disease, lymphocytes from pLNs, mesenteric lymph nodes (mesLNs), and the spleen were collected from human T1D, auto-antibody positive (AAb+), and normal donors (NDs) enrolled in the Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP). Tissue immune cell identity, phenotype, and transcriptional status was analyzed using Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing (CITEseq). Lymphocytes from 20 pLN, 12 mesLN, and 18 spleen samples spanning 6 ND, 7 AAb+, and 7 T1D donors were thawed and processed through the CITEseq pipeline. At least 5 donors per disease group had a paired pLN and spleen sample, with at least 3 of the 5 donors per disease group having a paired mesLN sample, allowing for cross-tissue immune status comparison spanning multiple stages of disease onset. The dataset provides one of the first and largest CITEseq datasets on human AAb+ and T1D samples publicly available.

10X single-cell RNA-seq profiling of T cells from the pancreas, pancreatic lymph nodes, and blood of NOD mice with spontaneous or anti-PD-1-induced Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are a notable complication of PD-1 cancer immunotherapy. A better understanding of how these iatrogenic diseases compare to naturally arising autoimmune diseases is needed for treatment and monitoring of irAEs. We identified differences in anti-PD-1-induced Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and spontaneous T1D in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice by performing single-cell RNA-seq and TCR-seq on T cells from the pancreas, pancreas-draining lymph node (pLN), and blood of mice with PD-1-induced T1D or spontaneous T1D. In the pancreas, anti-PD-1 resulted in expansion of terminally-exhausted/effector-like CD8+ T cells, an increase in T-bethi CD4+FoxP3- T cells, and a decrease in memory CD4+FoxP3- and CD8+ T cells in contrast to spontaneous T1D. Notably, anti-PD-1 caused increased TCR sharing between the pancreas and the periphery. Moreover, T cells in the blood of anti-PD-1-treated mice expressed markers that differed from spontaneous T1D, suggesting that the blood may provide a window to monitor irAEs rather than relying exclusively on the autoimmune target organ.

Expression data of AI4 CD8 T cells from AI4 and Rip-B7xAI4 mice

Project description:B7x (B7-H4 or B7S1) is the seventh member of the B7 family and the in vivo function remains largely unknown. Despite new genetic data linking the B7x gene with autoimmune diseases, how exactly it contributes to peripheral tolerance and autoimmunity is unclear. Here we showed that B7x protein was not detected on antigen-presenting cells or T cells in both human and mice, which is unique in the B7 family. As B7x protein is expressed in some peripheral cells such as pancreatic b cells, we utilized a CD8 T cell-mediated diabetes model (AI4ab) in which CD8 T cells recognize an endogenous self-antigen, and found that mice lacking B7x developed more severe diabetes than control AI4ab mice. Conversely, mice overexpressing B7x in the b cells (Rip-B7xAI4ab) were diabetes free. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of effector AI4ab CD8 T cells induced diabetes in control mice, but not in Rip-B7xAI4ab mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that pathogenic effector CD8 T cells were capable of migrating to the pancreas but failed to robustly destroy tissue when encountering local B7x in Rip-B7xAI4ab mice. Although AI4ab CD8 T cells in Rip-B7xAI4ab mice and AI4ab mice showed similar cytotoxic function, cell death, and global gene expression profiles, these cells had greater proliferation in AI4ab mice than in RIP-B7xAI4ab mice. These results suggest that B7x in nonlymphoid organs prevents peripheral autoimmunity partially through inhibiting proliferation of tissue-specific CD8 T cells and that local overexpression of B7x on pancreatic b cells is sufficient to abolish CD8 T cell-induced diabetes. AI4 mice developed T1D and Rip-B7x AI4 mice were resistant to T1D. Total RNA was collected and gene expression compared between AI4 CD8 T cells from AI4 and Rip-B7xAI4 mice.

RNA sequencing of CD57+ and CD57- effector memory CD8 T cells in patients with type 1 diabetes

Project description:Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which insulin-secreting β cells of the pancreatic islets are selectively destroyed. CD8 T cells are regarded as critical players in mediating β cell destruction and as a result, considerable effort has been expended to define CD8 T cell behaviour in this disease. The overarching aim of the experiment is to characterize a recently identified autoreactive CD57-positive CD8 T cell subset which is associated with loss of function of islet beta cells in type 1 diabetes, to compare the phenotype of the CD57-positive effector memory CD8 T cells versus the CD57-negative compartment, and provide an insight into the function of these cells in the disease process. To that aim, HLA-A*24 positive patients with T1D -within 2 years of diagnosis- were asked to provide a blood, and following consent, and PBMC were isolated. CD57-positive and CD57-negative CD8 T cell populations were sorted by FACS, and finally, RNA was extracted. Amplified cDNA was obtained and used for the library preparation.

Sex differences in NK cells mediated by the X-linked epigenetic regulator UTX

Project description:Sexually dimorphic immune responses are evident by increased susceptibility of males to viral infections. Interestingly, our results indicate that while males possess more natural killer (NK) cells, they display impaired effector function. These differences are attributed to lower male expression of X-linked UTX, an epigenetic regulator which escapes X-inactivation in females. NK cell-specific heterozygous deletion of UTX in females recapitulated male NK cell phenotypes of increased NK cells and defective effector function. Notably, mice with NK cell-intrinsic UTX deficiency show increased lethality to mouse cytomegalovirus. Integrative UTX CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis revealed a critical role for UTX in regulating the chromatin landscape and expression at gene loci involved in NK cell homeostasis and effector function. Collectively, these data implicate UTX as a molecular determinant of sex differences in NK cell homeostasis and effector function and suggest enhancing UTX as a strategy to boost endogenous NK effector responses.

UTX constrains antiviral CD8+ T cell responses during chronic virus infection

Project description:Persistent virus infections can cause pathogenesis that is debilitating or lethal. During these infections, virus-specific T cells fail to protect due to weakened antiviral activity or failure to persist. These outcomes are governed epigenetically, though it is unknown which enzymes contribute to T cell loss or impaired function over time. Here, we show that T cell receptor-stimulated CD8+ T cells increase their expression of UTX (Ubiquitously transcribed Tetratricopeptide repeat, X-chromosome), an enzyme involved in demethylating histone-3 lysine-27 (H3K27), and reduce genome-wide H3K27-me3. UTX limits the frequency and durability of virus-specific CD8+ T cells during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in mice by promoting inhibitory receptor expression and apoptosis. UTX also increases effector gene expression to improve CTL-mediated protection, a process corresponding to reduced H3K27me3 at effector gene bodies. Thus, UTX guides gene expression patterns in CD8+ T cells, promoting antiviral activity while reducing CD8+ T cell durability.
