Unveiling IRF4-steered regulation of context-dependent effector programs in CD4+ T cells under Th17- and Treg-skewing conditions

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor IRF4 is crucial for the fate determination of pro-inflammatory T helper (Th)17 and the functionally opposing group of immunomodulatory regulatory T (Treg) cells. However, molecular mechanisms of how IRF4 steers diverse transcriptional programs in Th17 and Treg cells are far from being definitive. To unveil IRF4-driven lineage determination, we integrated data derived from affinity-purification and full mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis with chromatin immune precipitation sequencing. This allowed the characterization of subtype-specific molecular programs and the identification of IRF4 interactors in the Th17/Treg context. Our data reveal that IRF4-interacting transcription factors are recruited to IRF composite elements for the regulation of cell type-specific transcriptional programs as exemplarily demonstrated for FLI1, which in cooperation with IRF4 promotes Th17-specific gene expression. Inhibition of FLI1 markedly impaired Th17-differentiation. The present ‘omics’ dataset provides a valuable resource for studying IRF4-mediated gene regulatory programs in pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses.

Deciphering the role of IRF4 and its interacting proteins in differentiated regulatory and T helper 17 cells

Project description:The transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is crucial for the differentiation and fate determination of pro-inflammatory Th17 and the functionally opposing group of immunomodulatory regulatory T cells.Despite its central role in Th lineage determination, molecular mechanisms of IRF4-mediated gene expression in fully differentiated Th17/Treg cells are still not fully understood. In the present study, we integrated data derived from affinity-purification and full mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis with chromatin immune precipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq)to unveil IRF4-driven lineage determination in Treg and Th17 cells.This allowed the characterization of IRF4-steered expression of proteins generally involved in the T cell development as well as subtype-specific differentiation and identification of novel, yet uncharted IRF4 interactors. To out knowlede no other study investigated the molecular mechanisms of IRF4-steered gene expression and IRF4 interactions in an unbiased approach, directly comparing fully differentiated T helper 17 and regulatory T cells.

ChIP-MS of Glucocorticoid Receptor in primary mouse macrophages

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most effective anti-inflammatory drugs in current clinical settings, yet their genomic modes of action are poorly understood. GCs bind to the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR), which acts as a transcription factor to control gene expression in the immune system. Understanding the molecular mechanism that delineates gene repression of pro-inflammatory target genes from gene activation of metabolic genes will help to improve GC therapy and overcome adverse effects.

CXCL4 links inflammation and fibrosis through transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming of inflammatory monocyte-derived cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Fibrosis is a condition shared by numerous inflammatory diseases. The molecular mechanisms underlying fibrosis have remained incompletely understood severely hampering drug development. CXCL4 is associated with the onset and extent of fibrosis development in systemic sclerosis (SSc), a prototypic inflammatory and fibrotic disease. Here, we integrated 65 paired sequential whole genome transcriptional and methylation profiles from monocyte-derived cells as they respond to CXCL4 exposure. Using data-driven gene regulatory network analyses, we demonstrate that CXCL4 dramatically alters monocyte differentiation trajectory inducing a novel pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic phenotype mediated via key regulators such as CIITA and IRF8. Importantly, these CXCL4 exposed pro-inflammatory cells trigger a fibrosis cascade by directly producing ECM molecules and by inducing myofibroblast differentiation. Underscoring the computationally identified gene regulatory network, inhibition of CIITA mimicked CXCL4 inducing pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic phenotype. Our study uncovers CXCL4 as the endogenous ligand driving innate immune training and forming the long-sought link between inflammation and fibrosis.

Platelet-derived transcription factors license human monocyte inflammation

Project description:CD14+ monocytes, the predominant population in human blood, are primarily engaged in host defense and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses. Aberrant monocyte activity causes life-threatening cytokine storms, while dysfunctional monocytes lead to 'immunoparalysis.' Understanding the mechanisms controlling monocyte functions is therefore paramount. Here, we reveal platelets' vital role in human monocytes' pro-inflammatory responses. Natural low platelet counts in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) , platelet depletion in healthy human monocytes, or in vivo platelet depletion in mice, result in monocyte immunoparalysis, characterized by reduced pro-inflammatory gene expression and weakened cytokine responses to immune challenge. Remarkably, supplementation with fresh platelets reverses monocyte immunoparalysis. In mice, thrombocytopenia results in down-regulation of myeloid innate immune genes, and compromised host defense transcriptional programs in monocytes despite normal responses to LPS. Platelets control monocyte cytokines independently of traditional cross-talk pathways, acting as reservoirs of transcription factors like NF?B and MAPK p38. We pinpointed a vesicle-derived NF?B2 transfer to human monocytes by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Functionally, platelets proportionally restored impaired cytokine secretion in human monocytes lacking MAPK p38a and NF?B p65 and NF?B2. We unveil the intercellular transfer of inflammatory regulators, positioning platelets as central checkpoints in monocyte-mediated inflammation.

ZBTB48 is a pioneer factor regulating B-cell-specific CIITA expression

Project description:CIITA is the master regulator of MHC II genes expression and hence the adaptive immune response. CIITA expression itself is tightly regulated by three cell type-specific promoters, pI, pIII, and by pIV, and can also be induced by IFNg in non-immune cells. While key regulatory elements have been identified within these promoters, knowledge of transcription factors regulating CIITA is incomplete. Here, we demonstrate that the telomere-binding protein and transcriptional activator ZBTB48 directly binds to both critical activating elements within CIITA pIII and is essential for its gene expression. ZBTB48 establishes open chromatin at CIITA pIII upstream of activating H3K4me3 modifications both priming CIITA transcription for IFNg-induction and ensuring constitutive expression in primary murine B cells. Hence, ZBTB48 acts as a molecular on-off-switch for B-cell-specific CIITA expression.

LPS stimulation of human PBMC-derived macrophages

Project description:Immunoresponsive gene 1 (IRG1) is one of the highest induced genes in macrophages under pro-inflammatory conditions and its function has been recently described: it codes for immune-responsive gene 1 protein/cis-aconitic acid decarboxylase (IRG1/CAD), an enzyme catalyzing the production of itaconic acid from cis-aconitic acid, a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate. Itaconic acid possesses specific antimicrobial properties inhibiting isocitrate lyase, the first enzyme of the glyoxylate shunt, an anaplerotic pathway that bypasses the TCA cycle and enables bacteria to survive on limited carbon conditions. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying itaconic acid production through IRG1 induction in macrophages, we examined the transcriptional regulation of IRG1. Using a combination of literature information, transcription factor prediction models and genome-wide expression arrays, we inferred the regulatory network of IRG1 in mouse and human macrophages. 3 unstimulated (Control) and 3 LPS-stimulated human PBMC-derived macrophages
