Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) are a subset of CD4+ T helper cells that provide help to germinal center B cells and mediate the development of long-lived humoral immunity. Tfh cells dysregulation is associated with several major autoimmune diseases. Although recent studies showed Tfh cells differentiation is controlled by the transcription factor Bcl6, cytokines and cell-cell signals, limited information is available on the proteome and post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins in human Tfh cells. In this study, using TMT labeling technique, antibody-based affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis, we investigated quantitative proteome and acetylome in human naive CD4+ T cells and in vitro induced Tfh (iTfh) cells. In total, we identified 802 up-regulated proteins and 598 down-regulated proteins at the threshold of 1.5 folds in iTfh cells compared to naive CD4+ T cells. With the aid of intensive bioinformatics, biological process, cellular compartment, molecular function, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction of these differentially expressed proteins were revealed. Moreover, our acetylome data showed that 22 lysine acetylated proteins are up-regulated and 26 lysine acetylated proteins are down-regulated in iTfh cells compared to the naive CD4+ T cells, among which 11 differentially acetylated lysine residues in core histone were identified, indicating proteins acetylation and epigenetic mechanism are involved in regulating Tfh cells differentiation. These data provide a significant resource for studies of Tfh differentiation and normal and perturbed Tfh cell function.

Project description:We found that a number of Tfh cells downmodulated BCL6 protein after their development, and we sought to compare the gene expression between BCL6-hi Tfh cells and BCL6-low Tfh cells. CD4+ T cells were sorted from immunized and non-immunized mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Bcl6yfp/+ OT-II cells were transferred to congenic recipient mice, and immunized with NP-OVA in CFA subcutaneously. Seven or ten days after immunization, cells were collected from draining lymph nodes, and sorted on FACSAria by the expression of CXCR5, PD-1 and BCL6-YFP. Naive CD4+ T cells were CD4+ CD44lo CD62Lhi cells from unimmunized mice.

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cell is a unique T cell subset specialized in promoting germinal center reactions. Bcl6 has been identified as an obligatory transcription factor in Tfh cells; however, the molecular mechanism underlying Bcl6 function still remains unknown. Here, we combined genome-wide Bcl6 occupancy and transcriptome profiling to systemically analyze Bcl6 targets in Tfh cells. We found that Bcl6 exhibits unique binding preferences in Tfh cells from those in Th9, B cells and macrophage and its binding is closely associated with decrease in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Importantly, Bcl6 directly binds to the IL-7R/CD127 gene and suppresses its expression. Bcl6 also binds the same sequences recognized by signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 5, downstream of IL-7R. Bcl6 promotes CD127loPDhi Tfh cell differentiation; deletion of the Bcl6 gene in T cells results in enhanced IL-7R-STAT5 signaling and substantial expansion of CD127hiPDlo non-Tfh cells. Our study thus systemically examines Bcl6-controlled regulatory networks and provides novel insights into its biological functions in Tfh cells.

Project description:Cellular binary fate decisions require the progeny to silence genes associated with the alternative fate. The major subsets of alpha:beta T cells have been extensively studied as a model system for fate decisions. While the transcription factor RUNX3 is required for the initiation of Cd4 silencing in CD8 T cell progenitors, it is not required to maintain the silencing of Cd4 and other helper T lineage genes. The other runt domain containing protein, RUNX1, silences Cd4 in an earlier T cell progenitor, but this silencing is reversed whereas the gene silencing after RUNX3 expression is not reverse. Therefore, we hypothesized that RUNX3 and not RUNX1 recruits other factors that maintains the silencing of helper T lineage genes in CD8 T cells. To this end, we performed a proteomics screen of RUNX1 and RUNX3 to determine candidate silencing factors.

Project description:CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are essential for germinal center (GC) and high-affinity antibody responses. Yet the regulation that determines the initial development of Tfh cells is still largely unknown. Here we find that transcription factor Foxp1, previously shown to be essential in maintaining T cell quiescence, is a rate-limiting and essential negative regulator of Tfh cell differentiation. Naïve CD4+ T cells constitutively express Foxp1A, and stimulation through the T cell receptor (TCR) transiently induces the expression of a shorter Foxp1D isoform. In T cell-dependent (TD) humoral responses, CD4+ T cells deficient in all Foxp1 isoforms preferentially differentiate into Tfh cells, resulting in substantially increased GC and antibody responses. This negative regulation of Foxp1 on Tfh cell differentiation shows profound dominance: even in the absence of B cells, Foxp1-deficient CD4+ T cells differentiate into Tfh cells with high frequencies and sustained Bcl6 expression. Further, in the absence of Foxp1, Tfh cells are generated in higher frequencies than seen with Bcl6 overexpression and Tfh cell differentiation becomes significantly resistant to Blimp1-mediated repression. Finally, our experiments reveal specific roles of Foxp1A and Foxp1D in inhibiting Tfh cell differentiation: TCR-induced Foxp1D functions as a ‘gatekeeper’ to block the initial Tfh cell development, and together Foxp1A and Foxp1D proteins inversely determine Tfh cell generation in a dosage-dependent manner. Our study suggests that two Foxp1 isoforms provide a “double check” mechanism as fundamental regulators in Tfh cell differentiation and humoral responses.

Project description:In immune responses, activated T cells migrate to B cell follicles and develop to T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a new subset of CD4+ T cells specialized in providing help to B lymphocytes in the induction of germinal centers 1-3. Although Bcl6 has been shown to be essential in Tfh cell function, it may not regulate the initial migration of T cells 4 or the induction of Tfh program as exampled by CXCR5 upregulation 5. Here, we show that the Achaete-Scute homologue 2 (Ascl2) gene that encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor 6, is selectively upregulated in its expression in Tfh cells. Ectopic expression of Ascl2 uniquely upregulates CXCR5 but not Bcl6 and downregulates CCR7 expression in T cells in vitro and accelerates T cell migration to the follicles and Tfh cell development in vivo. Combined transcriptome profiling and genome-wide occupancy analysis indicate that Ascl2 directly regulates Tfh-related genes while inhibits expression of Th1 and Th17 genes. Acute deletion of Ascl2 as well as blockade of its function with the Id3 protein in peripheral CD4+ T cells results in a failure in Tfh cell development and the germinal center response. Conversely, mutation of Id3, known to cause antibody-mediated autoimmunity, greatly enhances Tfh cell generation. Thus, Ascl2 critically and directly initiates Tfh cell development.
