CTCF has an early impact on TEFF and TMP gene expression in antigen-experienced CD8+ T cells. (A) Tracks of CTCF CUT&RUN, ATAC-seq, and Tcf1 ChIP-seq at the Tcf7 and Id3 gene loci linked to the incongruous sites (denoted with blue bars). The green bars denote ChrAcc constitutive CTCF binding sites that function as boundary anchors for insulated neighborhoods. (B–G) Detection of TEFF- and TMP-characteristic proteins in CTV-labeled WT or Ctcf CD45.2+GFP+CD8+ T cells within 60 h after in vivo activation by LCMV-Arm infection. B and C, intracellular detection of granzyme B; D and E, intracellular detection of GP33-stimulated IFN-γ production; F and G, intranuclear detection of Tcf1. In B, D, and F, representative dot plots showing percentage of actively dividing cells that expressed proteins of interest; in C, E, and G, half-stacked histographs showing gMFI of the proteins. (H) Detection of active caspase3/7 in CTV-labeled WT or Ctcf−/− CD8+ T cells within 60 h after in vivo activation. Cumulative data in B–H are means ± SD (right) from at least two independent experiments. *, P < 0.05; ***, P < 0.001 by two-tailed Student’s t test. gMFI, geometric mean fluorescence intensity.
