TCF1 is required for the differentiation of T follicular helper (TFH) cells during viral infections

ABSTRACT: TFH and Th1 cells generated after viral or intracellular bacterial infections are critical for the control of infections and the development of immunological memories. However, the mechanisms that govern the choice of activated CD4 T cells to the two alternative fates remain unclear. Here, we found that reciprocal expression of TCF1 and Blimp1 between viral-specific TFH and Th1 cells started early after infection. TCF1 was intrinsically required for the differentiation of TFH cells. In the absence of TCF1, TFH cells failed to maintain their transcriptional and metabolic signatures, distinct from those in Th1 cells. Mechanistically, TCF1 functioned through forming negative feedback loops with IL-2 and Blimp1 signaling. Thus, we have demonstrated an essential role of TCF1 in TFH-cell differentiation.

Tcf7 deficient and WT SMARTA CD4 T cells were isolated from mice 8 days after Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) infection. TFH and Th1 cells were separated by FACS.

CXCR5+ follicular cytotoxic T cells control viral infection in B cell follicles

Project description:In response to infection, antigen-specific CD8+ T cells are primed in the T cell zone of secondary lymphoid organs and differentiate into cytotoxic effector T (TC) cells. Concurrently, CD4+ T cells differentiate into follicular helper T (TFH) cells that localize to B cell follicles and promote protective antibody responses. During unresolved infections, however, some viruses including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or Epsteinâ??Barr virus (EBV) escape immune control and persist in TFH cells and B cells, respectively. Exclusion of Tc cells from B cell follicles is thought to be a major mechanism of immune evasion. New strategies are therefore needed to eradicate infected cells in follicles for a permanent cure. Using mouse infection models and human samples, we here identify a specialized group of TC cells expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR5 that can selectively enter B cell follicles and eradicate infected TFH and B cells. We demonstrate that differentiation of these cells, which we term follicular cytotoxic T (TFC) cells, requires the transcription factors Bcl6, E2A and Tcf1, whereas the transcriptional regulators Blimp1, Id3 and Id2 inhibit their development. We demonstrate that Blimp1 and E2A directly regulate Cxcr5 expression, and together with Bcl6 and Tcf1 form a transcriptional circuit that guides the TFC differentiation. The identification of a follicular subset of TC cells has far reaching implications for developing better strategies for the control of infections that target B cells and TFH cells and for the eradication of B cell derived malignancies. There is no associated input. The E2A Bio-ChIP-seq was performed with total thymocytes from Tcf3Bio/Bio Rosa26BirA/BirA mice

Tcf1 and Lef1 regulate follicular helper T cell function eliciated by vaccination [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the impact of Tcf1 and Lef1 deficiency on T follicular helper (Tfh) cells elicited by protein immunization. We demonstrate that although phenotypic Tcf1/Lef1-deficient Tfh cells were able to develop in response to vaccination, they are functionally impaired. Mechanisc studies reveal the direct regulatory effect by Tcf1 and Lef1 on transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in vaccine-elicited Tfh cells. Analysis of chromatin accessibility in WT and Tcf1/Lef1-deficient Tfh cells eliciated by vaccination.

TCF1 is required for the generation of TCF1highTim3low virus-specific CD8 T cells

Project description:T-cell exhaustion is frequently observed during chronic viral infection and cancer. How exhausted T cells persist in the presence of immunosuppression is unclear. Here, we showed that virus-specific CD8 T cells differentiate into Tfh-like TCF1highTim3lowBlimp1low progenitors before the chronic phase of viral infection, which persist better than and can give rise to more terminal TCF1lowTim3highBlimp1high cells. Differentiation of TCF1high cells is driven by master regulator TCF1. Cell-intrinsic TCF1 deficiency led to sharp contraction and eventual deletion of virus-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells and uncontrolled viremia

Inverted chromatin immunoprecipitation identifies Tcf1 as a negative regulator of Foxp3 expression

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells are important regulators of the immune system and have versatile functions for the homeostasis and repair of tissues. They express the forkhead box transcription factor Foxp3 as a lineage-defining protein. In mature Treg cells, the Foxp3 core promoter is unmethylated indicating that this area could harbor a transcription factor complex to initiate or repress gene expression, respectively. We used an unbiased method to identify Foxp3-promoter-binding transcription factors (TFs) by inverted chromatin immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified several candidate factors which showed Foxp3-promoter suppressive capacity, one of which was T-cell factor 1 (Tcf1). Using viral overexpression and CRISPR/Cas knockout studies, we identified Tcf1 as a repressor of Foxp3 expression in primary conventional CD4 T cells (Tconv). In Tcf1-deficient animals, increased levels of Foxp3intermediateCD25negative T cells were identified in secondary lymphoid tissues, implicating that Tcf1 protects Foxp3-negative T cells from inadvertent Foxp3 expression.
