The Histone Methyltransferase SETDB1 Controls T Helper Cell Lineage Integrity by Repressing Endogenous Retroviruses.

Immunity | 2019

Upon activation, naive CD4+ T cells differentiate into distinct T cell subsets via processes reliant on epigenetically regulated, lineage-specific developmental programs. Here, we examined the function of the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 in T helper (Th) cell differentiation. Setdb1-/- naive CD4+ T cells exhibited exacerbated Th1 priming, and when exposed to a Th1-instructive signal, Setdb1-/- Th2 cells crossed lineage boundaries and acquired a Th1 phenotype. SETDB1 did not directly control Th1 gene promoter activity but relied instead on deposition of the repressive H3K9me3 mark at a restricted and cell-type-specific set of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) located in the vicinity of genes involved in immune processes. Refined bioinformatic analyses suggest that these retrotransposons regulate Th1 gene cis-regulatory elements or act as Th1 gene enhancers. Thus, H3K9me3 deposition by SETDB1 ensures Th cell lineage integrity by repressing a repertoire of ERVs that have been exapted into cis-regulatory modules to shape and control the Th1 gene network.

Interferome (tool)

RRID:SCR_007743

Interferome is a database that provides identification of interferon regulated gene signatures from high-throughput data sets (i.e. microarray, proteomic data etc.). It will also assist in identifying regulatory elements and enable comparison of tissue expression of IRGs in human and mouse. Availability of sequence information from more than 37 species, together with comprehensive annotation will enable comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis to be performed on these IRGs. Within the database, Type I, II and III IFN regulated genes have been manually curated from more than 28 publicly available microarray datasets. Interferon Regulated Genes (IRGs) were identified from multiple microarray and proteomic experiments where cells were treated with IFNs. Genes that were up or down regulated more than 1.5 fold relative to control samples were defined as IRGs.
