Abstrakt: | Although the importance of genome organization for transcriptional regulation of cell-fate decisions and function is clear, the changes in chromatin architecture and how these impact effector and memory CD8 + T cell differentiation remain unknown. Using Hi-C, we studied how genome configuration is integrated with CD8 + T cell differentiation during infection and investigated the role of CTCF, a key chromatin remodeler, in modulating CD8 + T cell fates through CTCF knockdown approaches and perturbation of specific CTCF-binding sites. We observed subset-specific changes in chromatin organization and CTCF binding and revealed that weak-affinity CTCF binding promotes terminal differentiation of CD8 + T cells through the regulation of transcriptional programs. Further, patients with de novo CTCF mutations had reduced expression of the terminal-effector genes in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Therefore, in addition to establishing genome architecture, CTCF regulates effector CD8 + T cell heterogeneity through altering interactions that regulate the transcription factor landscape and transcriptome.
