Project description:T-bet is pivotal for initiation and perpetuation of Th1 immunity. Identification of novel T-bet regulated genes is crucial for further understanding the biology of this transcription factor. By combining siRNA technology with genome-wide mRNA analysis, we sought to identify new T-bet regulated genes in IL-18-activated KG1 cells. KG1 cells were transfected with either control-siRNA (siRNAc) or siRNA targeting T-bet (siRNA-Tbet) and thereafter stimulated with IL-18. Total RNA was evaluated by genome-wide analysis using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Array System.

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.

Project description:T helper 1 (Th1) cell identity is defined by the expression of the lineage-specifying transcription factor T-bet. Here, we examine the influence of T-bet expression heterogeneity on subset plasticity by leveraging cell sorting of distinct in vivo-differentiated Th1 cells based on their quantitative expression of T bet and interferon . Heterogeneous T bet expression states were regulated by virus induced type I interferons and were stably maintained even after secondary viral infection. Exposed to alternative differentiation signals, the sorted subpopulations exhibited graded levels of plasticity, particularly toward the Th2 lineage: T bet quantities were inversely correlated with the ability to express the Th2 lineage-specifying transcription factor GATA 3 and Th2 cytokines. Reprogramed Th1 cells acquired graded, but stable mixed Th1+2 phenotypes with a hybrid epigenetic landscape. Continuous presence of T-bet in differentiated Th1 cells was essential to ensure Th1 cell stability. Thus, innate cytokine signals regulate Th1 cell plasticity via an individual cell-intrinsic rheostat to enable T cell subset adaptation to subsequent challenges.

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.

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.

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.

Project description:The transcription factor T-bet directs Th1 cell differentiation, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie this lineage-specific gene regulation are not completely understood. Here, we show that T-bet acts through super-enhancers in human and mouse Th1 cells to recruit Mediator and P-TEFb in the form of the super elongation complex (SEC). Th1-specific genes are poised in Th2 cells while T-bet-mediated recruitment of P-TEFb in Th1 cells activates transcriptional elongation. P-TEFb is recruited to both genes and super-enhancers, where it activates enhancer RNA transcription. P-TEFb inhibition and Mediator and SEC knockdown selectively block activation of T-bet target genes and P-TEFb inhibition abrogates Th1-associated experimental autoimmune uveitis. T-bet activity is independent of changes in NF-κB RelA and Brd4 binding, but T-bet- and NF-κB-mediated pathways converge to allow P-TEFb recruitment. These data support a model in which lineage-specifying factors allow recruitment of P-TEFb to poised genes to promote differentiation of alternative T cell fates.
