The production of type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) requires high expression of the transcription factor IRF8. Three enhancers at the Irf83′ region function in a differentiation stage-specific manner. However, whether and how these enhancers interact physically and functionally remains unclear. Here, we show that the Irf83′ enhancers directly interact with each other and contact the Irf8gene body during cDC1 differentiation. The +56 kb enhancer, which functions from multipotent progenitor stages, activates the other 3′ enhancers through an IRF8-dependent transcription factor program, that is, in trans. Then, the +32 kb enhancer, which operates in cDC1-committed cells, reversely acts in cison the other 3′ enhancers to maintain the high expression of Irf8. Indeed, mice with compound heterozygous deletion of the +56 and +32 kb enhancers are unable to generate cDC1s. These results illustrate how multiple enhancers cooperate to induce a lineage-determining transcription factor gene during cell differentiation. |
