Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of CD200R engagment on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of asthma and airway hyperreactivity (AHR) is increasing at an alarming rate. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are copious producers of type 2 cytokines, which leads to AHR and lung inflammation. In this study, we demonstrate murine ILC2s express CD200 receptor (CD200R), and this expression is inducible. We ascertain CD200R engagement inhibits activation, proliferation, and type 2 cytokine production, revealing a potent immunoregulatory role for CD200–CD200R axis on ILC2s. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CD200R engagement inhibits both canonical and non-canonical NF-B signaling pathways in activated ILC2s. Importantly, we herein design both preventative and therapeutic approaches utilizing CD200R engagement on ILC2s, which lead to improved airway resistance, dynamic compliance, and eosinophilia. Finally, our results reveal CD200R is expressed on human ILC2s, and its engagement ameliorates AHR in humanized ILC2 models, further emphasizing the translational applications of our findings for treatment of ILC2-related diseases such as allergic asthma.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of PD-1 deficiency on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Allergic asthma is a leading chronic disease associated with airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a potent source of T-helper 2 cytokines that promote AHR and lung inflammation. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of PD-1 on the development of AHR by focusing on its capacity to regulate ILC2 activation. We find that PD-1 is highly inducible in pulmonary ILC2s and shapes their transcriptional activity, activation and metabolism. Our findings provide new insights regarding the mechanisms of ILC2 regulation, which could be used in innovative approaches for the treatment of allergic asthma.

Blocking CD226 regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.

Epigenome analysis reveals novel aspects of ILC2 activation and supports a pathogenic role in asthma

Project description:Recent studies have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can drive eosinophilic airway inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Moreover, elevated ILC2 counts and/or activity have been reported in asthmatics, together suggesting that ILC2s play an important role in asthma pathophysiology. However, many aspects of ILC2 biology are not fully understood, including the mechanisms underlying ILC2 activation, the tissue-specific functions of ILC2s during inflammation (e.g. lung versus draining lymph node) and what drives ILC2 plasticity. Importantly, it is unknown whether human (epi)genetic variation associated with asthma susceptibility and persistence can be coupled to ILC2s. We address these questions in our manuscript by studying the epigenome of murine ILC2s obtained from Gata3-reporter mice with eosinophilic airway inflammation as well as human ILC2s obtained from peripheral blood and activated in vitro.

Epigenome analyses implicate ILC2s as key mediators of allergic airway inflammation

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid (ILC2) cells are major producers of the cytokines that drive allergic asthma and elevated levels of ILC2s have been detected in the blood and sputum of asthma patients. Asthma susceptibility has strong (epi)genetic components, but the underlying mechanisms and whether they are linked to ILC2 biology remain unclear. To reveal the molecular basis of ILC2 function in allergic airway inflammation (AAI) and assess its relevance for understanding how genetic variation affects asthma susceptibility. Gata3-IRES-YFP reporter mice were used to isolate ILC2s from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lymph nodes. Human naive ILC2s were purified from peripheral blood and activated in vitro. We employed RNA-Seq, ChIPm-Seq and computational approaches to study the transcriptome and epigenome in the context of ILC2 activation, tissue-specific functions and genetic susceptibility to asthma. Activated ILC2s displayed a tissue-specific gene expression signature that emerged from a highly similar epigenome. We identify superenhancers - a class of regulatory regions susceptible to epigenetic drugs - controlling ILC2 identity and asthma-associated genes. The majority of genes implicated in asthma by genome-wide association studies resided in an active or primed state in ILC2s. A substantial number of asthma-associated genetic variants were found in ILC2 gene regulatory elements. Our genome-wide analyses reveal new potential functions for ILC2s in AAI, which possess a plastic and flexible epigenome. Importantly, we reveal a strong link between gene regulatory mechanisms in ILC2s and the (epi)genetic basis of asthma susceptibility, supporting a pathogenic role for ILC2s in human asthma.

The CD200-CD200R axis promotes squamous cell carcinoma metastasis via regulation of Cathepsin K

Project description:The CD200-CD200R immunoregulatory signaling axis plays an etiological role in the survival and spread of numerous cancers primarily through suppression of anti-tumor immune surveillance. Our previous work outlined a pro-metastatic role for the CD200-CD200R axis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) that is independent of direct T cell suppression but modulates the function of infiltrating myeloid cells. To identify effectors of the CD200-CD200R axis important for cSCC metastasis, we conducted RNA-Seq profiling of infiltrating CD11b+Cd200r+ cells isolated from Cd200+ versus Cd200 null cSCCs and identified the cysteine protease Cathepsin K (Ctsk) to be highly upregulated in Cd200+ cSCCs. CD11b+Cd200r+ cells, which expressed phenotypic markers associated with myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like cells and tumor-associated macrophages, were the primary source of Ctsk expression in cSCC. Using a Cd200r+ myeloid cell-cSCC co-culture system, we observed that induction of Ctsk in Cd200r+ tumor-infiltrating cells was dependent on engagement of the CD200-CD200R axis, indicating that Ctsk is a target gene of this pathway in the cSCC tumor microenvironment. Inhibition of Ctsk, but not matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), significantly blocked cSCC cell migration through collagen gels in vitro. Finally, both targeted Cd200 disruption in tumor cells and Ctsk pharmacological inhibition dramatically reduced cSCC metastasis in vivo. Collectively, our findings identify a novel direct role for Cd200r+ infiltrating myeloid lineages in tumor metastasis and support the conclusion that CD200 stimulates cSCC invasion and metastasis via induction of Ctsk in CD200r+ infiltrating cells.

Transcription factor Bcl11b controls identity and function of mature innate lymphoid cells type II

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote anti-helminth responses and contribute to allergies. Though Bcl11b has been previously considered a T-lineage identity transcription factor (TF) that restrains the innate-cell genetic programs, we report here that Bcl11b is highly expressed in mature ILC2s and acts upstream of the key ILC2 TFs Gfi1, Gata-3, and of IL-33 receptor IL1rl1 (T1ST2). Additionally, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s de-repressed Rorγt, Ahr and IL-23 receptor, normally expressed in type-3 ILCs (ILC3s). Consequently, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s lost ILC2 functions and gained ILC3 functions, expanding in response to the protease allergen papain, however producing IL-17 and IL-22, and not IL-5 and IL-13, causing lung neutrophilia rather than eosinophilia, and diminished mucus production. Our results broaden Bcl11b's role from a T-cell only TF, and establishes that Bcl11b sustains mature ILC2 genetic and functional programs and lineage fidelity through positive regulation of essential ILC2 TFs and negative regulation of pivotal ILC3 TFs.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of IL-10 production on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes.

Project description:ILC2s are the dominant innate lymphoid cell population in the lungs at steady state and their release of type-2 cytokines is a central driver in responding eosinophil infiltration and increased airway hyperreactivity (AHR). For the first time, our laboratory has identified a unique subset of ILC2s in the lungs that produces and secretes IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, upon stimulation with IL-4. Overall this study introduces a novel, IL-4-inducible IL-10-producing population of ILC210s in the lung are naturally present in a high Th2 model of murine asthma. This research introduces a novel, cell-based immunotherapeutic potential of ILC210s that can be modulated by the signlaing transcription factors Blimp-1 and cMAF, as well as by glucose availability, opening new avenues for the treatment of ILC2-dependent airway inflammation.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the implication of LAIR-1 in sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central players in type-2 asthma. They initiate eosinophil infiltration and airway hyperreactivity (AHR) through cytokine secretion. Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory receptor considered as immune checkpoint in different inflammatory diseases. Here we assessed the role of LAIR-1 in murine ILC2s. WT and LAIR-1 KO mice were intranasally challenged with IL-33 and pulmonary ILC2s were sorted to perform RNA sequencing. Our results unravel a novel regulatory axis in ILC2s with the capacity to reduce their activation.
