Intestinal fibroblastic reticular cell niches control innate lymphoid cell homeostasis and function - Intestinal fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in the small intestine govern immune homeostasis and protect the host against gut pathogens. While distinct cell-intrinsic signals have been identified that determine ILC development and differentiation, it has remained unclear which cell population regulates ILC sustenance. Using unbiased single cell RNA transcriptomic analysis of intestinal fibroblasts, we have identified a specialized Ccl19-expressing fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) population that underpins solitary intestinal lymphoid tissue (SILT) structures including cryptopatches and isolated lymphoid follicles. Conditional ablation of lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) signalling in SILT FRC impeded the maturation of isolated lymphoid follicles and blocked ILC maintenance through the downregulation of IL-7, consequently resulting in the elevated susceptibility to bacterial infection. Moreover, specific Ltbr ablation in FRC during adulthood revealed that constant LTβR-dependent FRC-ILC interaction is required to maintain SILT structures and ILC populations. Taken together, our study unveils a critical intestinal FRC niche that secures protective gut immunity.

Fibroblastic reticular cells serve as primary immune checkpoint in visceral adipose tissues and secure peritoneal immunity

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Type I interferon signaling in fibroblastic reticular cells prevents exhaustive activation of antiviral CD8+ T cells

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) shape the organization of secondary lymphoid organs and actively promote the induction of immune responses by coordinating the interaction of innate and adaptive immune cells. However, the mechanisms underlying FRC functions during viral infections have remained largely unexplored. In the study, we combined FRC-specific genetic ablation of the type 1 IFN-alpha receptor (IFNAR) with high-dimensional transcriptomics analyses to elaborate the phenotypical alterations and functional consequences of impaired innate immunological sensing in FRC during lymph node-restricted viral infection

Single cell RNAseq of immune and stromal cells in murine lung cancer

Project description:Immune responses against tumor cells depend on T lymphocyte attraction and activity within the tumor microenvironment. Specialized immune-interacting fibroblasts, commonly referred to as fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC), form specialized niches in secondary lymphoid organs, originate from embryonic progenitors and foster T cell activation. FRCs have also been detected in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in tumors, differentiating from cancer associated fibroblasts. However, the identity and differentiation of niche-forming cells that foster intra-tumoral T cell activity have remained elusive. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of EYFP+ fibroblasts and GP33/34-Tetramer+CD8+ T cells from experimental murine lung cancer and cell fate-mapping analysis, which revealed the ability of FRC subsets in lung tumors to differentiate from progenitors situated in mural and adventitial sites. Ablation of FRC progenitors in Tumor T cell environments (TTEs) of murine lungs led to reduced anti-tumor T cell activity and loss of tumor control during experimental coronavirus vector-based immunotherapy. Collectively, our study defines lung cancer-associated FRC niches and key processes involved in stromal-T cell interaction that could pave the way for improved cancer immunotherapy.

Origin and differentiation trajectories of fibroblastic reticular cells in the splenic white pulp - single cell RNAseq dataset 1

Project description:Splenic white pulp (WP) structures are underpinned by fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) to facilitate splenic compartmentalization and execute efficient immune responses. Although distinct WP FSCs exhibit various molecular traits, the origin and the hierarchical differentiation of different cell subsets are not characterized. Here we showed, the organization of splenic WP and the differentiation of WP FSCs were governed by lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signaling pathway. Cell fate mapping analysis revealed that different WP fibroblastic stromal cells descend from a common perivascular LTβR-sensitive mesenchymal lymphoid organizer cells (mLTo) at prenatal stage. Moreover, embryonic mLTo cells required LTβR signaling to give rise to different WP stromal cell subsets, while the proliferation of these cells was devoid of LTβR signaling but followed the development of WP during ontogeny. Moreover, cell fate mapping from different time point indicated a consecutive commitment of mLTo cells initiated from the proximal region around the splenic artery. RNAseq and differentiation trajectory analysis of distinct FSCs showed that Ltbr-deficient cells and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) from adult spleen exhibited a progenitor phenotype and revealed a closer hierarchical lineage with embryonic mLTo cells. Taken together, our results unveil that embryonic mLTo cells residing in the perivascular niches can give rise to different FSC populations in a LTβR-dependent manner during development.

The transcription factor GATA3 is critical for the development of all IL-7Ra-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 2 ILCs

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles during innate immune responses to pathogens and lymphoid organ development. IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets, similar to T helper (Th) cell subsets, produce distinctive effector cytokines. The molecular control of IL-7Ra+ ILC development and maintenance has yet to be dissected. Here we report that GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets and T cells. Gata3 conditional deficient mice have no lymph nodes and are susceptible to Citrobactor rodentium infection. Genome-wide gene analyses indicate that GATA3 regulates similar set of cytokines and receptors in ILC2s and Th2 cells and is critical for the maintenance of ILC2s. Thus, GATA3 plays parallel roles in establishing and regulating both adaptive and innate lymphocytes. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells by tamoxifen-mediated acute deletion of Gata3 gene.

Gene expression profiling of small intestine (SI) NKp46+RORgt+ and NKp46+RORgt- Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs)

Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the global transcriptional profiles of small intestine (SI) Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) expressing the NK cell marker NKp46. Based on differential expression of the RORgt transcription factor SI NKp46+ ILCs can be divided in NKp46+RORgt- and NKp46+RORgt+ cells. While NKp46+RORgt- cells produce IFN-g, like conventional Natural Killer (NK) cells, NKp46+RORgt+ cells secrete IL-22, like Lymphoid Tissue inducer (LTi) cells. We compared the global transcriptional profiles of both NKp46+RORgt- and NKp46+RORgt+ cells to conventional splenic NK cells and to SI NKp46-RORgt+ cells, which contain adult LTi cells. By following this approach, we showed that SI NKp46+RORγt- ILCs correspond to SI NK cells. We also identified a transcriptional program conserved in adult SI NKp46+RORγt+, NKp46-RORγt+ ILCs and fetal LTi. The various ILC cell populations analyzed in this study were isolated from C57BL/6 RORc(gt)+/GFP reporter mice. SI NKp46+RORγt- (NKp46+GFP-) cells, SI NKp46+RORγt+ cells (NKp46+GFPlow and NKp46+GFPhigh cells) and NKp46-RORγt+ ILCs, including adult LTi cells , were sorted by flow cytometry from CD3- lamina propria cells of small intestine (SI) of RORc(γt)+/GFP reporter mice . Splenic NKp46+RORγt- (NKp46+GFP-) cells were also sorted as the reference for conventional NK cells. Two replicates of each populations were produced and analyzed.
