When linked to the murine Ifng gene (-3.4 to +5.6 kb) and transiently transfected into EL-4 cells, these elements clearly enhanced IFN-gamma expression in response to ionomycin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and weakly enhanced expression in response to T-bet.

|
A DNase I hypersensitive site and extragenic transcripts at IFNgCNS2 correlated positively with the capacity of primary T cell subsets to produce IFN-gamma.
|
| 3 |
15304658
|
Transcriptionally favorable histone modifications in the Ifng promoter, intronic regions, IFNgCNS2, and, although less pronounced, IFNgCNS1 increased as naïve T cells differentiated into IFN-gamma-producing effector CD8+ and T helper (TH) 1 T cells, but not into TH2 T cells.
|

15304658
|
Like IFN-gamma expression, these histone modifications were T-bet-dependent in CD4+ cells, but not CD8+ T cells.

T-bet regulates Th1 responses through essential effects on GATA-3 function rather than on IFNG gene acetylation and transcription.
|
| 6 |
16520391
|
T helper type 1 (Th1) development is facilitated by interrelated changes in key intracellular factors, particularly signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)4, T-bet, and GATA-3.
|
| 7 |
16520391
|
Here we show that CD4+ cells from T-bet-/- mice are skewed toward Th2 differentiation by high endogenous GATA-3 levels but exhibit virtually normal Th1 differentiation provided that GATA-3 levels are regulated at an early stage by anti-interleukin (IL)-4 blockade of IL-4 receptor (R) signaling.
|
| 8 |
16520391
|
In addition, under these conditions, Th1 cells from T-bet-/- mice manifest IFNG promotor accessibility as detected by histone acetylation and deoxyribonuclease I hypersensitivity.
|
| 9 |
16520391
|
In related studies, we show that the negative effect of GATA-3 on Th1 differentiation in T-bet-/- cells arises from its ability to suppress STAT4 levels, because if this is prevented by a STAT4-expressing retrovirus, normal Th1 differentiation is observed.
|
| 10 |
16520391
|
Finally, we show that retroviral T-bet expression in developing and established Th2 cells leads to down-regulation of GATA-3 levels.
|
| 11 |
16520391
|
These findings lead to a model of T cell differentiation that holds that naive T cells tend toward Th2 differentiation through induction of GATA-3 and subsequent down-regulation of STAT4/IL-12Rbeta2 chain unless GATA-3 levels or function is regulated by T-bet.
|
| 12 |
16520391
|
Thus, the principal function of T-bet in developing Th1 cells is to negatively regulate GATA-3 rather than to positively regulate the IFNG gene.

Recently, we reported a novel mechanism by which the T-box transcription factor T-bet interacts with JMJD3, an H3K27-demethylase, and Set7/9, an H3K4-methyltransferase (Genes Dev. 2008. 22: 2980-2993).
|
| 14 |
19384057
|
Therefore, studies examining the molecular mechanisms that account for the ability of T-bet to regulate Ifng and Cxcr3, prototypic CD4+ Th1 genes, have provided novel insight into essential regulatory events that occur at diverse developmental transitions.

A continuous T-bet expression is required to silence the interleukin-4-producing potential in T helper type 1 cells.
|
| 16 |
19689734
|
To develop into committed T helper type 1 (Th1) cells, naive CD4(+) T cells not only need to acquire the capacity to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but they also need to gain the ability to silence their interleukin-4 (IL-4) -producing potential.
|
| 17 |
19689734
|
We found that a lack of IL-4 stimulation was not sufficient to silence the IL-4-producing potential in activated CD4(+) T cells and that Th1-promoting factor was required.
|
| 18 |
19689734
|
Although it has been shown that T-bet is a crucial factor in suppressing Il4 gene expression, it is unclear whether a continuous presence of T-bet is required to silence the Il4 gene in Th1 cells.
|
| 19 |
19689734
|
To address this problem, we used an inducible form of T-bet - a T-bet-oestrogen receptor fusion molecule (T-bet-ER).
|
| 20 |
19689734
|
We found that the activation of T-bet during primary or secondary culture was sufficient to silence IL-4-producing potential.
|
| 21 |
19689734
|
On the other hand, the inactivation of T-bet after naïve CD4(+) T cells had differentiated into Th1 cells resulted in derepression of Il4 gene transcription.
|
| 22 |
19689734
|
Additionally, we found that T-bet is required to maintain Ifng expression.
|
| 23 |
19689734
|
Our data demonstrate that the continuous expression of T-bet is required for Th1 cells to silence their IL-4-producing potential.

The transcription factor GATA3 actively represses RUNX3 protein-regulated production of interferon-gamma.
|
| 25 |
20399120
|
The transcription factor GATA3 is crucial for the differentiation of naive CD4(+) T cells into T helper 2 (Th2) cells.
|
| 26 |
20399120
|
Here, we show that deletion of Gata3 allowed the appearance of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-producing cells in the absence of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IFN-gamma.
|
| 27 |
20399120
|
Such IFN-gamma production was transcription factor T-bet independent.
|
| 28 |
20399120
|
Another T-box-containing transcription factor Eomes, but not T-bet, was induced both in GATA3-deficient CD4(+) T cells differentiated under Th2 cell conditions and in Th2 cells with enforced Runx3 expression, contributing to IFN-gamma production.
|
| 29 |
20399120
|
GATA3 overexpression blocked Runx3-mediated Eomes induction and IFN-gamma production, and GATA3 protein physically interacted with Runx3 protein.
|
| 30 |
20399120
|
Furthermore, we found that Runx3 directly bound to multiple regulatory elements of the Ifng gene and that blocking Runx3 function in either Th1 or GATA3-deficient "Th2" cells results in diminished IFN-gamma production by these cells.
|
| 31 |
20399120
|
Thus, the Runx3-mediated pathway, actively suppressed by GATA3, induces IFN-gamma production in a STAT4- and T-bet-independent manner.

|
The lineage-defining factors T-bet and Bcl-6 collaborate to regulate Th1 gene expression patterns.
|
| 33 |
21518797
|
The T-box transcription factor T-bet is important for the differentiation of naive CD4(+) T helper cells (Th cells) into the Th1 phenotype.
|
| 34 |
21518797
|
In this study, we first identify Socs1, Socs3, and Tcf7 (TCF-1) as gene targets that are negatively regulated by T-bet.
|
| 35 |
21518797
|
Consistent with this, we identified two T-bet DNA-binding elements in the Socs1 promoter that are functionally used to down-regulate transcription in primary Th1 cells.
|
| 36 |
21518797
|
Furthermore, T-bet functionally recruits Bcl-6 to the Ifng locus in late stages of Th1 differentiation to repress its activity, possibly to prevent the overproduction of IFN-γ, which could result in autoimmunity.
|
| 37 |
21983879
|
T-bet orchestrates the differentiation of mature peripheral T-cells into interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α producing CD4+ T-helper type I (Th1) and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells that are necessary for antiviral responses.
|
| 38 |
21983879
|
When IL-12 is produced by antigen-presenting cells, T-bet expression is induced, causing direct stimulation of ifng gene transcription while simultaneously acting as a transcriptional repressor of the IL4 gene, which then leads to Th1 dominance and T-helper type 2 differentiation blockade.
|
| 39 |
21983879
|
We found that treatment with a farnesyltransferase inhibitor tipifarnib reduced Th1 cytokines in LGL leukemia patient T-cells and blocked T-bet protein expression and IL-12 responsiveness in T-cells from healthy donors.

SerpinB1 regulates homeostatic expansion of IL-17+ γδ and CD4+ Th17 cells.
|
| 41 |
24249741
|
Here, we show that IL-17A(+) γδ and CD4(+) Th17 cells are already expanded in the lungs of serpinb1a(-/-) mice at steady-state.
|
| 42 |
24249741
|
Both γδ and αβ(+) CD4(+) CCR6(+) T cells isolated from the lungs of naive serpinb1a(-/-) mice displayed a skewed transcriptional profile relative to WT cells, including increased Th17 signature transcripts [Il17a, l17f, and Rorc (RORγt)] and decreased Th1 signature transcripts [Ifng, Cxcr3, and Tbx21 (T-bet)] in γδ T cells.
|
| 43 |
24249741
|
In addition to the lung, IL-17A(+) γδ and CD4(+) Th17 cells were increased in the spleen of naive serpinb1a(-/-) mice, despite normal αβ and γδ T cell development in the thymus.
|
| 44 |
24249741
|
Within the γδ T cell compartment, loss of serpinb1a prompted selective expansion of Vγ4(+) and Vγ6/Vδ1(+) cells, which also displayed elevated expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen, Ki-67, and IL-17A.
|
| 45 |
24249741
|
Given that serpinb1a is preferentially expressed in WT IL-17A(+) γδ and CD4(+) Th17 cell subsets vis-à-vis other T cell lineages, our findings reveal a novel function of serpinB1 in limiting untoward expansion of lymphocytes with a Th17 phenotype.
|

|
TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) CD4(+) T cells expressed significantly higher levels of T-box transcription factors T-bet with graded loss of Eomesodermin (Eomes) expression (T-bet(Hi)Eomes(Hi/Lo)) when compared with TNF-α(+) CD4(+) T cells expressing lower levels of both T-bet and Eomes (T-bet(-)Eomes(-)).
|
| 47 |
24296812
|
Furthermore, TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) CD4(+) T cells expressed significantly higher levels of perforin and interleukin (IL)-2 and displayed a terminally differentiated phenotype (CCR7(-)CD27(-)CD45RA(-)CD57(+)CD62L(-)).
|
| 48 |
24296812
|
In contrast, TNF-α(+) alone CMV-specific CD4(+) T cells were predominantly early-memory phenotype with a proportion of these cells displaying T memory stem-cell phenotype (CD95(+)CD45RA(+)CCR7(+)CD27(+)).
|
| 49 |
24296812
|
In vitro stimulation of CMV-specific CD4(+) T cells with viral antigen in the presence of IL-12 was sufficient to dramatically change the transcriptional and functional profile of TNF-α(+) CD4(+) T cells, whereas TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) CD4(+) T cells remained unaltered.
