Abstract
The establishment of an appropriate costimulatory phenotype is crucial for dendritic cells (DCs) to maintain a homeostatic state with optimal immune surveillance and immunogenic activities. The upregulation of CD80/86 and CD40 is a hallmark costimulatory phenotypic switch of DCs from a steady state to an activated one for T cell activation. However, knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms underlying this process remains limited. In this study, we identified a Zbtb46 homolog from a zebrafish model. Zbtb46 deficiency resulted in upregulated cd80/86 and cd40 expression in kidney marrow-derived DCs (KMDCs) of zebrafish, which was accompanied with a remarkable expansion of CD4+/CD8+ T cells and accumulation of KMDCs in spleen of naive fish. Zbtb46-/- splenic KMDCs exhibited strong stimulatory activity for CD4+ T cell activation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR and mass spectrometry assays showed that Zbtb46 was associated with promoters of cd80/86 and cd40 genes by binding to a 5'-TGACGT-3' motif in resting KMDCs, wherein it helped establish a repressive histone epigenetic modification pattern (H3K4me0/H3K9me3/H3K27me3) by organizing Mdb3/organizing nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase and Hdac3/nuclear receptor corepressor 1 corepressor complexes through the recruitment of Hdac1/2 and Hdac3. On stimulation with infection signs, Zbtb46 disassociated from the promoters via E3 ubiquitin ligase Cullin1/Fbxw11-mediated degradation, and this reaction can be triggered by the TLR9 signaling pathway. Thereafter, cd80/86 and cd40 promoters underwent epigenetic reprogramming from the repressed histone modification pattern to an activated pattern (H3K4me3/H3K9ac/H3K27ac), leading to cd80/86 and cd40 expression and DC activation. These findings revealed the essential role of Zbtb46 in maintaining DC homeostasis by suppressing cd80/86 and cd40 expression through epigenetic mechanisms.
