Paper
Transcriptional re-programming of liver-resident iNKT cells into T-regulatory type-1-like liver iNKT cells involves extensive gene de-methylationFrontiers in immunology · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Unlike conventional CD4+ T cells, which are phenotypically and functionally plastic, invariant NKT (iNKT) cells generally exist in a terminally differentiated state. Although peripheral CD4+ T cells can acquire alternative epigenetic states in response to different cues, it remains unclear whether peripheral iNKT cells are epigenetically stable or maleable.

Repetitive encounters of liver-resident iNKT cells (LiNKTs) with galactosylceramide (aGalCer)/CD1d-coated nanoparticles (NPs) can trigger their differentiation into a LiNKT cell subset (LiNKTR1) expressing a T regulatory type 1 (TR1)-like transcriptional signature. Here we use a broad range of omics tools to dissect the epigenetic underpinnings of the LiNKT-LiNKTR1 transdifferentiation process as compared to those underlying the T-conv-to-T-follicular helper (TFH) and TFH-to-TR1 differentiation pathways. We show that LiNKTR1 cell generation is partially associated with treatment induced hypo-methylation of gene bodies and regulatory elements of upregulated genes, in the absence of significant changes in chromatin exposure, deposition of expression-promoting histone marks, or removal of their repressive counterparts from bivalent regulatory elements. In contrast, the Tconv-TFH differentiation process involves extensive remodeling of the chromatin and the acquisition of a broad repertoire of epigenetic modifications that are then inherited by TFH cell-derived TR1 cell progeny. These results suggest that peripheral tissue-resident iNKT cells, unlike conventional T cells but like TFH cells, are epigenetically stable and that such stability contributes to their phenotypic and functional stability.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE250192_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1052646 and SRA study SRP478001. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
