    Abstract Much has been learned about the genes and pathways that contribute to a diverse array of hematopoietic malignancies and other hematopoietic diseases. However, for many of these diseases, an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant remains the preferred treatment option. This opinion article provides the perspective of a molecular immunologist who became a transplant patient after many years studying basic mechanisms of blood cell development. Among many lessons learned were the magnitude of racial and ethnic disparities in donor registries, the substantial improvement in outcomes over time that were due to the collective impact of numerous advances, the benefits and limitations of genetic and clinical data, and the remarkably intricate balance between promoting graft-versus-disease activity of donor cells while suppressing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

    Abstract Regulated changes in transcription play a central role in virtually all events that accompany the development of the immune system and its response to microbial and environmental cues. Over the past 30 years, a large number of proteins that regulate transcription in the immune system have been discovered and much has been learned about their mechanisms of action. However, the field remains in its infancy, with technical challenges and the complexity of gene regulation circuitry limiting our current knowledge and providing formidable barriers to further advancement. Despite these barriers, the development of new and increasingly sophisticated technologies is speeding progress towards an understanding of the gene-specific and global logic through which transcription is regulated in key immunological settings.

    Abstract CpG islands often exhibit low DNA methylation, high histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation, low nucleosome density, and high DNase I hypersensitivity, yet the rules by which CpG islands are sensed remain poorly understood. In this study, we first evaluated the relationships between the DNA and the chromatin properties of CpG islands in embryonic stem cells using modified bacterial artificial chromosomes. Then, using a bioinformatic approach, we identified strict CpG-island density and length thresholds in mouse embryonic stem and differentiated cells that consistently specify low DNA methylation levels. Surprisingly, the human genome exhibited a dramatically different relationship between DNA properties and DNA methylation levels of CpG islands. Further analysis allowed speculation that this difference is accommodated in part by evolutionary changes in the nucleotide composition of orthologous promoters. Thus, a change in the rules by which CpG-island properties are sensed may have co-evolved with compensatory genome adaptation events during mammalian evolution.

    Abstract Much has been learned about the mechanisms of action of pluripotency factors Oct4 and Sox2. However, as with other regulators of cell identity, little is known about the impact of disrupting their binding motifs in a native environment or the characteristics of genes they regulate. By quantitatively examining dynamic ranges of gene expression instead of focusing on conventional measures of differential expression, we found that Oct4 and Sox2 enhancer binding is strongly enriched near genes subject to large dynamic ranges of expression among cell types, with binding sites near these genes usually within superenhancers. Mutagenesis of representative Oct4:Sox2 motifs near such active, dynamically regulated genes revealed critical roles in transcriptional activation during reprogramming, with more limited roles in transcriptional maintenance in the pluripotent state. Furthermore, representative motifs near silent genes were critical for establishing but not maintaining the fully silent state, while genes whose transcript levels varied by smaller magnitudes among cell types were unaffected by nearby Oct4:Sox2 motifs. These results suggest that Oct4 and Sox2 directly establish both active and silent transcriptional states in pluripotent cells at a large number of genes subject to dynamic regulation during mammalian development, but are less important than expected for maintaining transcriptional states.

    Abstract Inducible nucleosome remodeling at hundreds of latent enhancers and several promoters shapes the transcriptional response to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in macrophages. We aimed to define the identities of the transcription factors that promote TLR-induced remodeling. An analysis strategy based on ATAC-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq that enriched for genomic regions most likely to undergo remodeling revealed that the transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) bound to all high-confidence peaks marking remodeling during the primary response to the TLR4 ligand, lipid A. Deletion of NF-κB subunits RelA and c-Rel resulted in the loss of remodeling at high-confidence ATAC-seq peaks, and CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis of NF-κB-binding motifs impaired remodeling. Remodeling selectivity at defined regions was conferred by collaboration with other inducible factors, including IRF3- and MAP-kinase-induced factors. Thus, NF-κB is unique among TLR4-activated transcription factors in its broad contribution to inducible nucleosome remodeling, alongside its ability to activate poised enhancers and promoters assembled into open chromatin.

    Abstract In cells of the innate immune system, the transcriptional response to a microbial stimulus is tailored to both the stimulus and cell type, suggesting the existence of highly sophisticated regulatory mechanisms. Early studies suggested that specificity is dictated by sets of differentially induced transcription factors that synergistically activate target genes containing their binding sites. However, recent studies have revealed additional interrelated regulatory layers, which are the topic of this article. In particular, individual transcription factors may require different post-translational modifications and coregulatory interactions to regulate different target genes. Furthermore, competence for induction is programmed at an early stage of development by factors involved in lineage commitment, and the architecture and chromatin structure of each promoter play critical roles in transcriptional specificity.
