Asynchronous combinatorial action of four regulatory factors activates Bcl11b for T cell commitment

ABSTRACT: During T cell development, multipotent progenitors relinquish competence for other fates and commit to the T cell lineage by turning on Bcl11b, which encodes a transcription factor. To clarify lineage commitment mechanisms, we followed developing T cells at the single-cell level using Bcl11b knock-in fluorescent reporter mice. Notch signaling and Notch activated transcription factors collaborate to activate Bcl11b expression irrespectively of Notch-dependent proliferation. These inputs work via three distinct, asynchronous mechanisms: an early locus ‘poising’ function dependent on TCF-1 and GATA-3, a stochastic-permissivity function dependent on Notch signaling, and a separate amplitude-control function dependent on Runx1, a factor already present in multipotent progenitors. Despite their necessity for Bcl11b activation, these inputs act in a stage specific manner, providing a multitiered mechanism for developmental gene regulation.

Despite their necessity for Bcl11b activation, these inputs act in a stage specific manner, providing a multitiered mechanism for developmental gene regulation. Two sets of samples were generated from DN T-cell sub-populations derived from culture of bone marrow progenitors from mice containing a knock-in Bcl11b-YFP reporter

Tcf1 regulates T lymphocyte lineage fidelity through its target genes Gata3 and Bcl11b

Project description:T cell factor 1 (Tcf1) is the first T cell‒specific protein induced in multipotent progenitors following Notch signaling in the thymus, leading to the activation of two major target genes, Gata3 and Bcl11b. Tcf1 deficiency results in partial arrests in T cell development high apoptosis, and increased development of B cells and myeloid cells. Phenotypically, fully T cell‒committed, Tcf1-deficient thymocytes have promiscuous gene expression, an altered epigenetic profile and can de-differentiate into more immature thymocytes and non-T cells. Expressing Bcl11b in Tcf1-deficient cells rescues T cell development, but does not strongly suppress the development of non-T cells; in contrast, expressing Gata3 suppresses the development of non-T cells, but does not rescue T cell development. Thus, T cell development is controlled by a minimal transcription factor network involving Notch signaling, Tcf1, and the subsequent division of labor between Bcl11b and Gata3, thereby ensuring a properly regulated T cell gene expression program

Distinct Notch1 and BCL11B requirements mediate human γδ/αβ T cell development [BCL11B_coculture]

Project description:Notch-dependent BCL11B induction converts thymus seeding precursor cells into committed T cell progenitors that subsequently differentiate into T cells bearing either the γδ or αβ T cell receptor. In human, strong Notch activation favors γδ T cell development at the expense of αβ-lineage differentiation, but the underlying molecular mechanism has remained unclear. Therefore, we performed paired mRNA and miRNA profiling across 11 stages of human T cell development, including developing γδ T cells. We identify the miR-17-92 cluster as a direct Notch target and show that miR-17 promotes human TCRγδ T cell development by targeting BCL11B, a gene required for αβ but not for γδ T cell development. Thus, following its role as a licensing factor to induce BCL11B expression in early T cell precursors, Notch activation limits BCL11B expression through miR-17 until thymocytes have passed the β-selection checkpoint when Notch activation is turned off. Hereby Notch prevents premature BCL11B upregulation that is required for αβ-lineage differentiation and this results in preferential γδ-lineage differentiation. Our work unravels a dual role for Notch in controlling BCL11B expression during intrathymic differentiation and provides a unique resource for understanding the mRNA/miRNA interactions that control human T cell development. We used microarrays in order to profile gene expression in CD34+ thymocytes before culture and after 5 or 10 days culture on OP9 stromal cells expressing Notch ligands JAG1, JAG2, DLL1 or DLL4.

Bcl11b defines pro-T identity by site-specific cofactor recruitment and by repressing Id2 and Zbtb16.

Project description:Multipotent progenitors confirm their T-lineage identity at the DN2a to DN2b pro-T cell transition, when expression of the essential transcription factor Bcl11b begins. This study defines the molecular basis of direct and indirect actions of Bcl11b in acquisition of T cell identity. In vivo and in vitro stage-specific deletions identify functional regulation targets genome-wide for mechanistic analysis. Bcl11b can associate with multiple co-factors and its direct action is needed to recruit these to selective target sites. Sites of Bcl11b-dependent cofactor recruitment are enriched at functionally regulated targets, and deletion of individual cofactors can relieve repression of many Bcl11b-repressed genes. In parallel, Bcl11b indirectly regulates a subset of its target genes by a gene network circuit via Id2 and Zbtb16, which are directly repressed by Bcl11b and control distinct alternative programs.

Expression data from Gata3+/- and Gata3-/- ESC-derived T-cell progenitors

Project description:GATA3 plays a crucial role during early T-cell development and also dictates later T-cell differentiation outcomes. However, its role and collaboration with the Notch signaling pathway in the induction of T-lineage specification and commitment have not been fully elucidated. We show that GATA3 deficiency in hematopoietic progenitors results in an early block in T-cell development despite the presence of Notch signals, with a failure to up-regulate Bcl11b expression, leading to a diversion toward myeloid lineage fate. GATA3 deficiency results in dysregulated Cdkn2b expression, leading to apoptosis of early T-lineage cells due to inhibition of CDK4/6 function. We also show that GATA-3 induces Bcl11b, and together with Bcl11b represses Cdkn2b expression. Our findings provide a signaling and transcriptional network by which the T-lineage program in response to Notch signals is realized.
