Project description:Memory B cells (MBCs) are essential for long-lived humoral immunity. However, the transcription factors (TFs) involved in MBC differentiation are poorly defined. Here, by single cell RNAseq analysis, we identified a population of germinal center (GC) B cells in the process of differentiating into MBCs. Using an inducible Crispr/Cas9 screening approach we identified the hematopoietically-expressed homeobox gene Hhex as a transcription factor regulating MBC differentiation. The co-repressor Tle3 was also identified in the screen and was found to interact with Hhex to promote MBC development. Bcl6 directly repressed Hhex in GC B cells. Reciprocally, Hhex-deficient MBCs exhibited derepressed Bcl6 and reduced expression of Bcl6-repressed Bcl2. Overexpression of Bcl2 was able to rescue MBC differentiation in Hhex-deficient cells. We also identified Ski as an Hhex-induced transcription factor involved in MBC differentiation. These findings establish an important role for Hhex-Tle3 in regulating the transcriptional circuitry governing MBC differentiation.

Project description:The identification of mechanisms controlling breast tumor progression from less aggressive to highly metastatic disease should provide novel therapeutic targets for patients. Here we report the transcriptional corepressor, TLE3, as a critical regulator of cellular plasticity in breast cancer. TLE3 facilitates repression of genes associated with the highly aggressive basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) subtype within luminal cells. Additionally, maintenance of the luminal lineage is dependent on appropriate localization of TLE3 to its transcriptional targets which is mediated through interaction with FOXA1. Furthermore, the ability of TLE3 to repress BLBC transcription results in reduced metastatic capacity and aggressive cellular behaviors. Together our findings establish TLE3 as a critical transcriptional mediator of breast cancer aggressiveness, with TLE3 sustaining the more differentiated and less metastatic nature of luminal tumors through suppression of gene expression programs associated with BLBC.

Project description:Transcriptional effectors of white adipocyte-selective gene expression have not been described. TLE3 is a white-selective cofactor that acts reciprocally with the brown-selective cofactor Prdm16 to specify lipid storage and thermogenic gene programs. When expressed at elevated levels in brown fat, TLE3 counters Prdm16, suppressing brown-selective genes and inducing white-selective genes, resulting in impaired fatty acid oxidation and thermogenesis. To further test the functional consequences of the changes in BAT phenotype in aP2-TLE3 Tg mice, we challenged them with cold exposure at 4C. aP2-TLE3 Tg mice had an impaired ability to respond to cold exposure compared to littermate control mice, as evidenced by a marked drop in core body temperature. Transgenic mice expressing TLE3 from the aP2 enhancer and wild type mice were housed individually without food and bedding immediately before the start of experiments. Mice were allowed free access to water and placed at 4C for 5 hours while core body temperature was monitored every hour using a rectal probe. For microarray experiments of BAT, RNA was extracted and pooled from 4 mice in each group.

Project description:The goal of this study is to determine if central memory (Tcm) and effector memory (Tem) CD8 T cells can be reprogrammed to change their fate. We demonstrate that genetic ablation of Tle3 can promote generation of Tcm cells at the expense of Tem cells, and this can occur during the effector phase of the immune response.

Project description:The Hematopoietically-expressed homeobox (Hhex) transcription factor is overexpressed in human myeloid leukemias. Conditional knockout models of murine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) indicate that Hhex maintains leukemia stem cell self-renewal by enabling Polycomb-mediated epigenetic repression of the Cdkn2a tumor suppressor locus, encoding p16Ink4a and p19Arf. However, whether Hhex overexpression also affects hematopoietic differentiation is unknown. To study this, we retrovirally overexpressed Hhex in hematopoietic progenitors. This enabled serial replating of myeloid progenitors, leading to the rapid establishment of IL-3-dependent promyelocytic cell lines. Use of a Hhex-ERT2 fusion protein demonstrated that continuous nuclear Hhex is required for transformation, and structure function analysis demonstrated a requirement of the DNA binding and N-terminal repressive domains of Hhex for promyelocytic transformation. This included the N-terminal Pml interaction domain, although deletion of Pml failed to prevent Hhex-induced promyelocyte transformation, implying other critical partners. Furthermore, deletion of p16Ink4a or p19Arf did not promote promyelocyte transformation, indicating that repression of distinct Hhex target genes is required for this process. Indeed, transcriptome analysis showed that Hhex overexpression resulted in repression of several myeloid developmental genes. To test potential for Hhex overexpression to contribute to leukemic transformation, Hhex-transformed promyelocyte lines were rendered growth factor-independent using a constitutively active IL-3 receptor common b subunit (bcV449E). The resultant cell lines resulted in a rapid promyelocytic leukemia in vivo. Thus Hhex overexpression can contribute to myeloid leukemia via multiple mechanisms including differentiation blockade and enabling epigenetic repression of the Cdkn2a locus.

Project description:Background & Aims: Perturbations in pancreatic ductal bicarbonate secretion often result in chronic pancreatitis. Although the physiological mechanism of ductal secretion is known, its transcriptional control is not well characterized. Here, we investigate the role of the transcription factor Hematopoietically-expressed homeobox protein (Hhex) in pancreatic secretion and pancreatitis. Methods: We derived mice with pancreas-specific, Cre-mediated Hhex gene ablation to determine the requirement of Hhex in the pancreatic duct in early life and in adult stages. Histological and immunostaining analyses were used to detect the presence of pathology. Pancreatic primary ductal cells (PDCs) were isolated to discover differentially expressed transcripts upon acute Hhex ablation. Results: Hhex protein was detected throughout the embryonic and adult ductal trees. Ablation of Hhex in pancreatic progenitors resulted in postnatal ductal ectasia associated with acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, a progressive phenotype that ultimately resulted in chronic pancreatitis. Hhex ablation in adult mice, however, did not cause any detectable pathology. Ductal ectasia did not result from perturbations in primary cilia, but was consistent with the effects of primary ductal hypertension. RNA-seq analysis of Hhex-ablated PDCs indicated the G-protein coupled receptor Natriuretic peptide receptor 3, implicated in paracrine signaling, was upregulated 4.70-fold. Conclusions: Although Hhex is dispensable for adult pancreatic function, ablation of Hhex in pancreatic progenitors results in profound pancreatitis that is consistent with primary ductal hypertension. Our data highlight the critical role of paracrine signaling in maintaining ductal homeostasis, especially in early life, and support ductal hypersecretion as a novel etiology of pediatric chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatic primary ductal cells (PDCs) were isolated from uninduced adult HhexL/L;Sox9CreERT2 (n=2) and littermate control HhexL/L (n=2) mice. PDCs were treated with 500nM 4-hydroxytamoxifen in vitro for 4 days, and then RNA was collected for transcriptome analysis.
