  • Transcriptional Control of Tissue-Resident Memory T Cell Generation
    Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Filip Cvetkovski All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation. In addition, the gene expression profile of lung CD4+TRM was enriched in gene sets previously described in tissue-resident regulatory T cells. Up-regulation of immunomodulatory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and ICOS, suggested a potential regulatory role for CD4+TRM in tissues. Using loss-of-function genetic experiments in mice, we demonstrate that IRF4 is required for the generation of lung-localized pathogen-specific effector CD4+T cells during acute influenza infection. Influenza-specific IRF4−/− T cells failed to fully express CD44, and maintained high levels of CD62L compared to wild type, suggesting a defect in complete differentiation into lung-tropic effector T cells.

  • A Flexible Microfluidic System for Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A fexible microfuidic system for single‑cell transcriptome profling elucidates phased transcriptional regulators of cell cycle Karen Davey1,7, Daniel Wong2,7, Filip Konopacki2, Eugene Kwa1, Tony Ly3, Heike Fiegler2 & Christopher R. Sibley 1,4,5,6* Single cell transcriptome profling has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the high‑resolution understanding of complex cellular systems. Here we report a fexible, cost‑efective and user‑ friendly droplet‑based microfuidics system, called the Nadia Instrument, that can allow 3′ mRNA capture of ~ 50,000 single cells or individual nuclei in a single run. The precise pressure‑based system demonstrates highly reproducible droplet size, low doublet rates and high mRNA capture efciencies that compare favorably in the feld. Moreover, when combined with the Nadia Innovate, the system can be transformed into an adaptable setup that enables use of diferent bufers and barcoded bead confgurations to facilitate diverse applications. Finally, by 3′ mRNA profling asynchronous human and mouse cells at diferent phases of the cell cycle, we demonstrate the system’s ability to readily distinguish distinct cell populations and infer underlying transcriptional regulatory networks. Notably this provided supportive evidence for multiple transcription factors that had little or no known link to the cell cycle (e.g. DRAP1, ZKSCAN1 and CEBPZ). In summary, the Nadia platform represents a promising and fexible technology for future transcriptomic studies, and other related applications, at cell resolution. Single cell transcriptome profling has recently emerged as a breakthrough technology for understanding how cellular heterogeneity contributes to complex biological systems. Indeed, cultured cells, microorganisms, biopsies, blood and other tissues can be rapidly profled for quantifcation of gene expression at cell resolution.

  • Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of KRAS Mutant Cell Lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of KRAS mutant cell lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K. Durand2,5, Kirsten L. Bryant2, Tikvah K. Hayes2, Sen Peng3, Nhan L. Tran4, Gerald C. Gooden1, David N. Buckley1, Channing J. Der2, Albert S. Baldwin2 ✉ & Bodour Salhia1 ✉ Oncogenic RAS mutations are associated with DNA methylation changes that alter gene expression to drive cancer. Recent studies suggest that DNA methylation changes may be stochastic in nature, while other groups propose distinct signaling pathways responsible for aberrant methylation. Better understanding of DNA methylation events associated with oncogenic KRAS expression could enhance therapeutic approaches. Here we analyzed the basal CpG methylation of 11 KRAS-mutant and dependent pancreatic cancer cell lines and observed strikingly similar methylation patterns. KRAS knockdown resulted in unique methylation changes with limited overlap between each cell line. In KRAS-mutant Pa16C pancreatic cancer cells, while KRAS knockdown resulted in over 8,000 diferentially methylated (DM) CpGs, treatment with the ERK1/2-selective inhibitor SCH772984 showed less than 40 DM CpGs, suggesting that ERK is not a broadly active driver of KRAS-associated DNA methylation. KRAS G12V overexpression in an isogenic lung model reveals >50,600 DM CpGs compared to non-transformed controls. In lung and pancreatic cells, gene ontology analyses of DM promoters show an enrichment for genes involved in diferentiation and development. Taken all together, KRAS-mediated DNA methylation are stochastic and independent of canonical downstream efector signaling. These epigenetically altered genes associated with KRAS expression could represent potential therapeutic targets in KRAS-driven cancer. Activating KRAS mutations can be found in nearly 25 percent of all cancers1.

  • Junb Differs from C-Jun in Its DNA- Binding and Dlmenzatlon Domains, and Represses C-Jun by Formation of Inactive Heterodimers

We demonstrate that the decreased ability of JunB to activate gene expression is the result of a small number of amino acid changes between its DNA-binding and dimerization motifs and the corresponding regions of c-Jun. These changes lead to a 10-fold decrease in the DNA-binding activity of Junk JunB can be converted into a c-Jun-like activator by substituting four amino acids in its DNA-binding and dimerization motifs with the corresponding c-Jun sequences. JunB can also attenuate trans-activation by c-Jun, an activity mediated by its leucine zipper. This ability depends on two glycine residues that decrease the stability of the JunB leucine zipper, resulting in decreased homodimerization and increased heterodimerization. These results illustrate how small changes in primary structure, including chemically conservative changes, can result in functional divergence of two highly related transcriptional regulators.
