Series GSE121279 Query DataSets for GSE121279
Status Public on Jan 18, 2019
Title RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to study how transcription factor Foxp1 regulates Foxp3 binding to chromatin and coordinates regulatory T cell function
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Regulatory T (Treg) cells, whose differentiation and function are controlled by transcription factor Foxp3, express high amounts of a closely related family member Foxp1, which is also expressed in quiescent naive T cells. Here we explored Foxp1 function in Treg cells. We found that a large number of Foxp3-bound genomic sites in Treg cells were occupied by Foxp1 in both Treg and conventional T cells. In Treg cells, Foxp1 markedly increased Foxp3 binding to these sites, which were enriched for canonic forkhead and Ets binding motifs. Foxp1 deficiency in Treg cells resulted in their impaired function and competitive fitness associated with markedly reduced CD25 expression and interleukin-2 (IL-2) responsiveness, diminished CTLA-4 and increased SATB1 expression. The characteristic patterns of CD25, Foxp3, and CTLA-4 expression in Treg cells were rescued, at least in part, upon strong IL-2 signaling. Our studies suggest that in addition to the Foxp1-mediated regulation of quiescence that is common to Treg and conventional T cells, Foxp1 has an essential non-redundant function in Treg cells by enforcing Foxp3-mediated regulation of gene expression and enabling efficient IL-2 signaling in these cells.
 
Overall design Foxp1 ChIP-seq in Treg (triplicates) and conventional T cells (duplicates), with genetic controls; Foxp3 ChIP-seq in wildtype (duplicates) and Foxp1-deficient (triplicates) Treg cells, with genetic controls; RNA-seq in naïve and activated wildtype and Foxp1-deficient Treg cell (triplicates)
