- T(H)1-mediated diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) improve during pregnancy, coinciding with increasing levels of the pregnancy hormone progesterone (P4), highlighting P4 as a potential mediator of this immunomodulation. Here, we performed detailed characterization of how P4 affects the chromatin and transcriptomic landscape during early human T(H)1 differentiation, utilizing both ATAC-seq and RNA-seq. Time series analysis of the earlier events (0.5-24 hrs) during T(H)1 differentiation revealed that P4 counteracted many of the changes induced during normal differentiation, mainly by downregulating key regulatory genes and their upstream transcription factors (TFs) involved in the initial T-cell activation. Members of the AP-1 complex such as FOSL1, FOSL2, JUN and JUNB were particularly affected, in both in promoters and in distal regulatory elements. Moreover, the changes induced by P4 were significantly enriched for disease-associated changes related to both MS and RA, revealing several shared upstream TFs, where again JUN was highlighted to be of central importance. Our findings support an immune regulatory role for P4 during pregnancy by impeding T-cell activation, a crucial checkpoint during pregnancy and in T-cell mediated diseases, and a central event prior to T-cell lineage commitment. Indeed, P4 is emerging as a likely candidate involved in disease modulation during pregnancy and further studies evaluating P4 as a potential treatment option are needed.
