Abstract | The transcription factor Ets1 is essential for the development/differentiation of invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells at multiple stages. However, its mechanisms of action and target genes in iNKT cells are still elusive. Here, we show that Ets1 is required for the optimal expression of the Vα14Jα18 T cell receptor (TCR) in post-selected thymic iNKT cells and their immediate differentiation. Ets1 is also critical for maintaining the peripheral homeostasis of iNKT cells, which is a role independent of the expression of the Vα14Jα18 TCR. Genome-wide transcriptomic analyses of post-selected iNKT cells further reveal that Ets1 controls leukocytes activation, proliferation differentiation, and leukocyte-mediated immunity. In addition, Ets1 regulates the expression of ICOS and PLZF in iNKT cells. More importantly, restoring the expression of PLZF and the Vα14Jα18 TCR partially rescues the differentiation of iNKT cells in the absence of Ets1. Taken together, our results establish a detailed molecular picture of how Ets1 regulates the stepwise differentiation of iNKT cells. |
