Basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like (BATF) regulates epigenetically and energetically effector CD8 T-cell differentiation via Sirt1 expression.
CD8 T cells play a critical role in protection against viral infections. During effector differentiation, CD8 T cells dramatically change chromatin structure and cellular metabolism, but how energy production increases in response to these epigenetic changes is unknown. We found that loss of basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like (BATF) inhibited effector CD8 T-cell differentiation...
متن کاملOne naive T cell, multiple fates in CD8+ T cell differentiation
The mechanism by which the immune system produces effector and memory T cells is largely unclear. To allow a large-scale assessment of the development of single naive T cells into different subsets, we have developed a technology that introduces unique genetic tags (barcodes) into naive T cells. By comparing the barcodes present in antigen-specific effector and memory T cell populations in syst...
متن کاملTranscriptional control of regulatory T-cell differentiation.
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance and for limiting excessive inflammatory responses under various conditions. The lineage-specific transcription factor Foxp3 has a critical role in Treg-cell biology. Foxp3 forms large protein complexes and cooperates with environmentally induced transcription factors to shape the Treg-cell transcriptional program. Here...
متن کاملTranscriptional repressor ZEB2 promotes terminal differentiation of CD8+ effector and memory T cell populations during infection
ZEB2 is a multi-zinc-finger transcription factor known to play a significant role in early neurogenesis and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition-dependent tumor metastasis. Although the function of ZEB2 in T lymphocytes is unknown, activity of the closely related family member ZEB1 has been implicated in lymphocyte development. Here, we find that ZEB2 expression is up-regulated by activated T c...
متن کاملThe basic leucine zipper transcription factor NFIL3 directs the development of a common innate lymphoid cell precursor
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are recently identified lymphocytes that limit infection and promote tissue repair at mucosal surfaces. However, the pathways underlying ILC development remain unclear. Here we show that the transcription factor NFIL3 directs the development of a committed bone marrow precursor that differentiates into all known ILC lineages. NFIL3 was required in the common lymphoi...
