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

Project description: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.

Project description:Inducing the long-term protection via effector memory CD8+ T cells residing in the peripheral tissues is the ultimate goal of T cell-based vaccination strategies. CD8+ T cell reacting against a particular set of antigenic peptides show propensity to generate stable pools of memory inflating cells with profound protective capacity. While the epitopes that induce memory inflation have been thoroughly characterized and used as excellent constituents of vaccines such as recombinant adenoviruses, the identity of the tissue factors responsible for maintaining memory inflating CD8+ T cells remains elusive. Here, we have used a Cre recombinase-dependent, -galactosidase (gal)–recombinant adenovirus vector that allowed for cell-specific expression of gal epitopes and identification of cell types involved in generation of inflationary responses. While targeting antigen expression to classical hematopoietic antigen presenting cells was insufficient to activate gal-specific CD8+ T cells, expressing the antigen exclusively in CCL19-producing fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) induced robust anti-gal CD8+ T cell response. Using bone marrow chimera mice to abolish the expression of major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) and Basic Leucine Zipper ATF-Like Transcription Factor 3 (BATF3) in hematopoietic cells we demonstrated that CCL19-expressing FCS function as antigen libraries, gradually releasing the antigen to CD103+ DCs to maintain gal-specific memory inflating population. Moreover, targeted ablation of CCL19-producing cells revealed that pulmonary fibroblastic stromal cells act as the principal organizer of the nurturing niches that support the metabolic conversion in CD8+ T cells necessary for the generation of long-lasting protective inflationary responses. Overall, our data reveal a hitherto unknown function of CCL19-expressiong fibroblastic stromal in supporting the metabolic fitness of CD8+ T cells, thereby promoting the generation of tissue-specific and long-lasting protective CD8+ T cell responses.

Project description:Efficient germinal center formation requires the coordinated movement of B cells between distinct regions of the B cell follicle where their fate and function is governed by the integration of cues from their interacting partners. While CXCL13 is known to be important for B cell chemoattraction and follicle formation, the molecular identity of B cell-interacting reticular cells remains ill-defined. Moreover, how CXCL13-expressing, B-cell interacting reticular cells are reprogramed to cater to the developing germinal center remains unclear. Here we use the Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato mouse model to genetically target and decipher the cellular composition of lymph node CXCL13-expressing reticular cells under steady-state and inflammatory conditions. Moreover, we examine the consequence of cell-specific, genetic perturbation of CXCL12 on the molecular identity of the reticular cell network. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that B cell follicle reticular cell subset specification is predetermined in the steady-state, although additional transcriptional changes accompany germinal center formation. Although genetic perturbation of CXCL12 alters GC topology, the molecular identity of the underlying reticular cells remains largely unperturbed.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex mixture of tumor cells, immune cells, endothelial cells and fibroblastic stroma cells (FSC). While cancer-associated fibroblasts are generally seen as a tumor-promoting entity, it is conceivable that distinct FSC populations within the TME contribute to immune-mediated tumor control. Here, we show that intra-tumoral injection of a recombinant LCMV-based vaccine vector (r3LCMV) expressing the melanocyte differentiation antigen TRP2 results in T cell-dependent eradication of melanomas. Analysis of the TME revealed that viral vector transduction precipitates activation of particular FSC subsets. Using single-cell RNA-seq analysis, we identified a Cxcl13-expressing FSC population with a pronounced immune-stimulatory signature and increased expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-33. Genetic ablation of Il33 in Cxcl13-Cre+ FSC impeded functionality of intratumoral T cells and consequently tumor control. Thus, reprogramming of distinct FSC subsets in the TME through LCMV-based vectors efficiently promotes tumor eradication by locally sustaining the activity of tumor-specific T cells.

Project description:We set up a 3D model based on iPSCs derived from patients with familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and healthy non-demented control. We created cerebral organoids (COs), verified their ability to mimic AD in vitro, and used it to explore early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis. Our data reveal that despite similar expression of cell-type-specific genes during CO maturation in vitro, AD-iPSCs derived COs show limited tissue patterning and altered cellular development. These findings complement unique single-cell sequencing data of AD-iPSCs derived COs confirming this observation and uncovering that a sub-set of neurons in AD-iPSCs likely differentiates prematurely while at the same time retaining the expression of progenitor marker PAX6.

Project description:The lymph node is home to resident macrophage populations that are essential for healthy immune function and homeostasis. They are involved in multiple processes including the initiation of the local response to pathogens, halting viral and bacterial spread, and clearance of apoptotic cells, but the macrophage niche and factors that create it are largely undefined. Here we analyse fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) as an essential component of the lymph node macrophage niche using single-cell RNA-sequencing. Our analysis revealed that most reticular cell subsets within lymph nodes expressed master macrophage regulator CSF1. We further show that signalling through CSF1R was sufficient to support macrophage development, while in the presence of LPS, FRCs underwent a mechanistic switch and maintained support through CSF1R-independent mechanisms. Our data reveal a critically important role for FRCs in the creation of the parenchymal macrophage niche within LNs.

Project description:Once activated, B cells produce the antibodies needed to fight against infection. B cells are necessary for adaptive or specific immunity, which focuses on the destruction of foreign invaders that have gotten past the bodies initial defenses. Heat shock protein family is a group of highly conserved molecular chaperones with important functions in protein folding such as antibody and in signal transduction. Stch (Heat shock 70 kDa protein 13) is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family and is found associated with microsomes. Members of this protein family play a role in the processing of cytosolic and secretory proteins. To explore the role of Stch in B-cell activation and antibody production, we evaluated the transcriptional events and the role of stch pathway on the activation and antibody production of B cells by single cell RNAseq. Splenic lymphocytes were isolated from 7-9-week-old female Stchf/f wildtype (WT) mice and B-cell specific Stch knocked-out (CD19creStchf/f) mice (3 mice/group) using Ficoll (Ficoll-Paque Plus, GE Healthcre). B cells were sorted using B220 microbeads (Cat No. 130-049-501, Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). Their transcriptomes were captured using a 10x chromium system.
