Bach2-Batf interactions control Th2-type immune responses by regulating the IL-4 amplification loop

ABSTRACT: Although Bach2 plays an important role in regulating the Th2-type immune response, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We herein demonstrate that Bach2 associates with Batf and binds to the regulatory regions of the Th2 cytokine gene loci. The Bach2-Batf complex antagonizes the recruitment of the Batf-Irf4 complex to AP-1 motifs and suppresses Th2 cytokine production. Furthermore, we found that Bach2 regulates the Batf and Batf3 expressions via two distinct pathways. First, Bach2 suppresses the maintenance of the Batf and Batf3 expression through the inhibition of IL-4 production. Second, the Bach2-Batf complex directly binds to the Batf and Batf3 gene loci and reduces transcription by interfering with the Batf-Irf4 complex. These findings suggest that IL-4 and Batf form a positive feedback amplification loop to induce Th2 cell differentiation and the subsequent Th2-type immune response, and Bach2-Batf interactions are required to prevent an excessive Th2 response.

BATF-JUN is critical for IRF4-mediated transcription in T cells

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is an IRF family transcription factor with critical roles in lymphoid development and in regulating the immune response. IRF4 binds DNA weakly owing to a carboxy-terminal auto-inhibitory domain, but cooperative binding with factors such as PU.1 or SPIB in B cells increases binding affinity, allowing IRF4 to regulate genes containing ETS–IRF composite elements (EICEs; 5'-GGAAnnGAAA-3'). Here we show that in mouse CD4+ T cells, where PU.1/SPIB expression is low, and in B cells, where PU.1 is well expressed, IRF4 unexpectedly can cooperate with activator protein-1 (AP1) complexes to bind to AP1–IRF4 composite (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3') motifs that we denote as AP1–IRF composite elements (AICEs). Moreover, BATF–JUN family protein complexes cooperate with IRF4 in binding to AICEs in pre-activated CD4+ T cells stimulated with IL-21 and in TH17 differentiated cells. Importantly, BATF binding was diminished in Irf4-/- T cells and IRF4 binding was diminished in Batf-/- T cells, consistent with functional cooperation between these factors. Moreover, we show that AP1 and IRF complexes cooperatively promote transcription of the Il10 gene, which is expressed in TH17 cells and potently regulated by IL-21. These findings reveal that IRF4 can signal via complexes containing ETS or AP1 motifs depending on the cellular context, thus indicating new approaches for modulating IRF4-dependent transcription. Genome-wide transcription factors mapping and binding of IRF4, BATF, IRF8, STAT3, JUN etc in WT, Irf4-/- and Batf-/- mice in different cell types (B cells, CD4+ T cells and TH17 cells) cultured with or without IL-21 was conducted. RNA-Seq is conducted in mouse B cells, CD4+ T cells, TH1/TH2/TH9/TH17/Treg.

ChIP-Seq analysis of BATF, IRF4, the Jun proteins, and histone modifications in effector CD8+ T cells

Project description:The transcription factor BATF is required for Th17 and TFH differentiation. Here, we show that BATF also has a fundamental role in regulating effector CD8+ T cell differentiation. BATF-deficient CD8+ T cells show profound defects in effector expansion and undergo proliferative and metabolic catastrophe early after antigen encounter. BATF, together with IRF4 and Jun proteins, binds to and promotes early expression of genes encoding lineage-specific transcription-factors (T-bet and Blimp-1) and cytokine receptors, while paradoxically repressing genes encoding effector molecules (IFNg and granzyme B). Thus, BATF amplifies TCR-dependent transcription factor expression and augments inflammatory signal propagation but restrains effector gene expression. This checkpoint prevents irreversible commitment to an effector fate until a critical threshold of downstream transcriptional activity has been achieved. This is an examination of 5 different transcription factors (TFs) with 5 different histone modifications in effector CD8+ T cells. Two of the TFs (BATF and IRF4) and the histone modifications were replicated. Appropriate control sequence files for ChIP input, IgG ChIP, and Total H3 are also included.

BATF3-dependent IRF4 binding inhibits FOXP3 in differentiating Tregs

Project description:BATF3 has been shown to inhibit FOXP3 expression in differentiating CD4 T cells, however, the role of IRF4 in this inhibition is unexplored. IRF4 binds DNA weakly on its own and requires interactions with other transcription factors. We investigated how BATF3/IRF4 interactions are necessary for IRF4 binding and BATF3-mediated FOXP3 inhibition.

Quality of TCR signaling determined by differential affinities of enhancers for the composite BATF–IRF4 transcription factor complex [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Variable strengths of signaling via the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) can produce divergent outcomes, but the mechanism of this remains obscure. The abundance of the transcription factor IRF4 increases with TCR signal strength, but how this would induce distinct types of responses is unclear. We compared the expression of genes in the TH2 subset of helper T cells to enhancer occupancy by the BATF–IRF4 transcription factor complex at varying strengths of TCR stimulation. Genes dependent on BATF–IRF4 clustered into groups with distinct TCR sensitivities. Enhancers exhibited a spectrum of occupancy by the BATF–IRF4 ternary complex that correlated with the sensitivity of gene expression to TCR signal strength. DNA sequences immediately flanking the previously defined AICE motif controlled the affinity of BATF–IRF4 for direct binding to DNA. Analysis by the chromatin immunoprecipitation–exonuclease (ChIP-exo) method allowed the identification of a previously unknown high-affinity AICE2 motif at a human single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the gene encoding the immunomodulatory receptor CTLA-4 that was associated with resistance to autoimmunity. Thus, the affinity of different enhancers for the BATF–IRF4 complex might underlie divergent signaling outcomes in response to various strengths of TCR signaling

Bach2 inhibits Th2-type immune responses by regulating glutamine metabolism [ChIP-seq]

Project description:It is becoming clear that the acquisition of T cell functions is closely linked to the reprogramming of the metabolic pathway. However, the impact of metabolic changes on the differentiation of helper T cell subsets remains unclear. We herein demonstrate a critical role of glutamine metabolism in regulating type 2-immune response. Bach2, a transcriptional repressor, binds to an AP-1 motif, and suppresses Th2 cell differentiation and glutaminolysis. Glutaminase 2, which controls glutamine metabolism, was identified as a Bach2 target gene. The pharmacological inhibition of glutamine metabolism normalized allergic lung inflammation that developed spontaneously in T-cell specific Bach2-deficient mice. These findings reveal the importance of the Bach2-dependent modulation of glutamine metabolism in regulating Th2 cell differentiation and Th2 cell- mediated inflammation.

Comparison of gene expression profiles of naÃ¯ve and in vitro effector CD8+ T cells from wild-type and BATF-/- mice

Project description:The transcription factor BATF is required for Th17 and TFH differentiation. Here, we show that BATF also has a fundamental role in regulating effector CD8+ T cell differentiation. BATF-deficient CD8+ T cells show profound defects in effector expansion and undergo proliferative and metabolic catastrophe early after antigen encounter. BATF, together with IRF4 and Jun proteins, binds to and promotes early expression of genes encoding lineage-specific transcription-factors (T-bet and Blimp-1) and cytokine receptors, while paradoxically repressing genes encoding effector molecules (IFNg and granzyme B). Thus, BATF amplifies TCR-dependent transcription factor expression and augments inflammatory signal propagation but restrains effector gene expression. This checkpoint prevents irreversible commitment to an effector fate until a critical threshold of downstream transcriptional activity has been achieved. P14 TCR transgenic CD8+ T cells from wild-type or BATF-/- mice were examined either as naÃ¯ve cells or after 3 days of in vitro stimulation with antibodies to CD3 and CD28 in the presence of IL-2

ChIPseq analysis of IRF4 and BATF in immune cells

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find the binding partner of IRF4 in the context of Th17- cell differentiation. To this end, we have used ChIPseq analysis followed by de novo motif search around genome-wide binding sites to identify BATF as the binding partner for IRF4 in the context of not only Th17 cells but other immune cell types as well. Naïve T-cells isolated from the spleen of C57BL/6J mice are cultured under Th17, Th2 or Th0 polarizing conditions for 42 hrs and subject to ChIP using IRF4 and/or BATF antibodies followed by high-throughput sequencing. Bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were stimulated with LPS for 6hrs and similrly subjected to ChIPseq analysis with IRF4.

Graded responses to variable TCR signaling are encoded in the affinities of AICE-containing enhancers responding to BATF and IRF4 [gene expression]

Project description:Variable strengths of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling can produce divergent outcomes for T cell development and function. The mechanisms leading to different outcomes are incompletely understood, but may include distinct activation thresholds for different transcription factors as well as distinct sensitivities among target genes to transcription factors. IRF4 is one transcription factor implicated in responses to variable TCR signal strength. IRF4 expression increases uniformly with increasing TCR signal strength (i.e., analog), but it is unclear how IRF4 induced distinct genes at different levels, rather than different amounts of the same genes. Here, we analyzed global gene expression in TH2 cells and used ChIP-seq to define the relationship between TCR signal strength, enhancer occupancy and transcriptional activity for BATF/IRF4-dependent genes. We show that enhancers exhibit a spectrum of affinity for the BATF/IRF4 ternary complex mediate graded responsiveness of individual genes to increasing TCR signal strength. Differential gene induction by BATF and IRF4 occurs through interaction with enhancer elements of different affinity for BATF/IRF4 complexes. The increased resolution of factor binding site identified using ChIP-exo allowed the identification of a novel AICE2 motif binding BATF/IRF4 with higher affinity and that this may explain the protective role of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the CTLA-4 locus known to decrease the incidence of autoimmune diseases.

JunB regulates the common and lineage-specific transcriptional programs of distinct CD4+ effector T cells

Project description:IRF4 is critical for differentiation of various CD4+ effector T cells, such as T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, and Th17 subsets, through interaction with BATF-containing AP-1 heterodimers. A major BATF heterodimeric partner, JunB, regulates Th17 differentiation, but the role of JunB in other CD4+ effector T subsets is not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that JunB is essential for accumulation of Th1 and Th2 cells, as well as Th17 cells, both in vitro and in vivo. In mice immunized with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), papain, or complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA), that induce predominantly Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells, respectively, accumulation of antigen-primed, Junb-deficient CD4+ T cells is significantly impaired. Loss of JunB decreases viability of cells activated under Th1-, Th2-, and Th17-polarizing conditions. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveal that JunB directly regulates expression of various genes that are commonly induced in priming of naïve CD4+ T cells, including a pro-apoptotic gene Bcl2l11 (encoding Bim), and genes that are specifically induced in Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells. Furthermore, JunB colocalizes with BATF and IRF4 at genomic regions for approximately half of JunB direct target genes. Taken together, JunB, in collaboration with BATF and IRF4, serves a critical function in differentiation of diverse CD4+ T cells by controlling common and lineage-specific gene expression.
