A multimorphic variant in ThPOK causes an inborn error of immunity with T cell defects and fibrosis [fibroblasts]

ABSTRACT: ThPOK is a transcription factor which acts as a master regulator of CD4+ T cell lineage commitment. We report the first human disease caused by genetic alteration in ThPOK, specifically, a damaging heterozygous de novo variant in ThPOK (NM_001256455.2: c.1080A>C, p.K360N). This patient exhibited the unusual constellation of persistent CD4+ T cell deficiency, allergy, interstitial lung disease, corneal vascularization and scarring, developmental delay, and growth failure. The ThPOKK360N variant displayed abnormal multimorphic activity, interfering with ThPOKWT (antimorph), failing to bind wild-type ThPOK consensus sequences (amorph), and showing novel DNA-binding specificity (neomorph). Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed defects in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell maturation and activation (hypomorph). Recapitulated in lentivirally transduced healthy control T cells and fibroblasts, transcriptomic analysis showed ThPOKK360N-transduced T cells had impaired TCR activation, and ThPOKK360N-transduced fibroblasts with increased pro-fibrotic gene expression. This novel human disease confirms ThPOK's role in CD4+ T cell development but also uncovers novel roles in TCR activation and regulation of fibrotic pathways in fibroblasts.

The NuRD complex is required for Thpok-mediated CD4+ T cell development

Project description:This data represent characterization of the interactome of murine Thpok. A version of Thpok (Thpok-Bio) subject to biotinylation in vivo by the BirA biotin ligase was used; to assess Thpok interactions in primary cells, Thpok-Bio was retrovirally expressed in in vitro activated CD4+ T cells from Thpokfl/fl Ox40-Cre+ mice carrying a Rosa26BirA allele. Expression of Ox40-Cre, initiated upon T cell activation, causes the deletion of endogenous Thpokfl alleles, so that transduced cells only express Thpok-Bio. Two Thpok deletion constructs (BKK and RFK) were also analyzed. Following streptavidin pulldown, proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, the full lane cut into 9 slices, and in-gel digested. FIles are: 1384 - empty vector; 1385 - Thpok; 1386 - Thpok + Ethidium Bromide; 1387 - Thpok BKK; 1388 - Thpok RFK.

Gene Expression in Effector T cells, wildtype of Thpok-deficient

Project description:The transcription factor Thpok is essential for CD4 T cell development in the thymus and remains expressed in post-thymic CD4 T cells. We post-thymically inactivated Thpok and compared microarray gene expression in Thpok-deficient CD4 T cells to that in their wildtype CD4 or CD8 counterparts We show that Thpok constrains the transcriptional circuitry to maintain CD4+-lineage integrity in naM-CM-/ve cells and to couple effector differentiation to environmental cues after antigenic stimulation. Redundantly with the related factor LRF, Thpok is continuously needed to prevent the trans-differentiation of mature CD4+ into -CD8+ T cells. We activated naM-CM-/ve CD4 T cells (either wild-type or Thpok-deficient) and CD8 T cells (wild-type) in vitro under Th1 conditions. Differentiated effectors were sorted 4 days after activation into CD4+CD8- and CD4-CD8+ (wild-type) and CD4+CD8- and CD4+CD8+ (Thpok-deficient) subsets. Total RNA was extracted from sorted subsets and processed for microarray analyses (Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST array) at the NCI microarray facility, following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys recommendation. Data is from 3 replicates (except wild-type CD4-CD8+ cells, for which two samples only were processed), generated from two distinct cell preparations.

Genome-wide maps of SATB1 bound regions in thymocytes and peripheral CD4+ T lymphocytes.

Project description:T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by MHC class-I and -II induces thymocytes to acquire cytotoxic and helper fates via induction of Runx3 or and ThPOK transcription factors, respectively. The mechanisms by The mechanisms by which TCR signaling is translated into transcriptional programs for each cell fate remain elusive. It remains elusivewhich how TCR signaling is translated into transcriptional programs for each cell fate remain elusive. We show that a genome organizer, SATB1, activates genes for lineage-specifying factors, including ThPOK, Runx3, CD4, CD8 and Treg factor Foxp3, and Treg factor Foxp3, and CD4, and /CD8, in post-selection thymocytes. Indeed, SATBatb1-deficient thymocytes are partially redirected into inappropriate T lineages after both MHC class-I and -II mediated selection, and fail to generate Treg subset. Despite its essential role in initiating regulatory regions activity in TCR signaled thymocytes. SATBatb1 is becomes dispensable for maintaining ThPOK in CD4+ T cells. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that SATBatb1 shapes the primary T-cell pool by initially directing lineage-specific transcriptional programs in the thymus.

Transcriptional Reprogramming of Mature CD4 T helper Cells generates distinct MHC class II restricted Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

Project description:We show here that the T helper-fate is not fixed and that mature antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells can switch off Thpok expression and reactivate CD8- lineage genes. This unexpected plasticity results in the post-thymic termination of the T helper- program and the functional differentiation of distinct MHC class II restricted CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes Small intestine CD4 intraepithelial T lymphocytes from ThPOK-GFP reposter mice were isolated and sorted (FACS Aria) based on ThPOK and CD8aa expression. Cell were isolated either from non-experimental ThPOK-GFP reporter mice (WT) or after transfering CD4 naive T cells from ThPOK-GFP reporter mice to RAG-/-recipient animals (TR) as an experimental colitis model. Experimet was done in duplicate.

Satb1 Orchestrates the Expression of Lineage-Specifying Genes in Post-Selection Thymocytes

Project description:T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by MHC class-I and -II induces thymocytes to acquire cytotoxic and helper fates via induction of Runx3 or ThPOK transcription factors, respectively. The mechanisms by which TCR signaling is translated into transcriptional programs for each cell fate remain elusive. We show that a genome organizer, Satb1, activates genes for lineage-specifying factors, including ThPOK and Runx3, in post-selection thymocytes. Indeed, Satb1-deficient thymocytes are partially redirected to inappropriate T lineages after MHC selection. Although Satb1 is dispensable for maintaining ThPOK in CD4+ T cells, it is necessary for restraining expression of the Treg factor FoxP3. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that Satb1 shapes the primary T-cell pool by initially directing lineage-specific transcriptional programs and subsequently balancing effector versus regulatory subsets via FoxP3 repression.

Gene expression in mature CD4 and CD8 from WT mice and mature CD4 from DBTBLZ or Mta2-DBTBLZ retrogenic mice

Project description:T cell precursors develop into cytotoxic CD8 and helper CD4+ T cells in thymus. Thpok, a BTB/POZ family transcription factor, enforces commitment to the CD4 lineage and suppresses cytotoxic gene expression. However, it is still not fully understood how Thpok directs CD4 T cell development. Here, using mass-spectrometry, we identify nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex as a novel Thpok cofactor. We demonstrate that the Thpok BTB domain is essential for NuRD recruitment. Reconstituting NuRD binding to a BTB-less version of Thpok (which cannot bind NuRD) restored CD4 T cell in vivo. RNA sequencing showed that CD4 T cells expressing the reconstituted protein express a transcriptome similar to that of CD4 T cells expressing Thpok. Thus, our results demonstrate that NuRD recruitment is both necessary and sufficient for the function of the Thpok BTB domain in CD4 T cell development.
