Single cell RNAseq of immune and stromal cells from human lymph nodes

ABSTRACT: B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of human lymph node stromal cells and immune cells to analyse local BRC-immune cell interactions and compare them across SLOs and species from additional datasets. Shared BRC subsets were imprinted by tissue-specific gene signatures, but also expressed functionally convergent niche factors that directed regionalized leukocyte composition. Local BRC-immune cell interactions sustained BRC subset identity via immune cell-provided maturation factors. Bidirectional signalling programs were independent of activation state and mirrored across murine and human tissues. Collectively, our data reveal a conserved set of feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.

Single cell RNAseq of immune and stromal cells from human palatine tonsils

Project description:Palatine tonsils are secondary lymphoid organs that are strategically positioned in the oropharynx to secure a first line of defense against oral pathogens. Specialized immune-interacting fibroblasts, generally termed fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC), underpin distinct microenvironments within lymphoid organs to compartmentalize and direct the efficient interaction and activation of immune cells. As a particular anatomical property, palatine tonsils harbor a reticular-shaped lymphoepithelium that generates an antigen sampling zone in the crypts. While the histological ultrastructure and the immune cell composition of human palatine tonsils has been elaborated in detail, the molecular identity of the diverse stromal cell compartments including FRC and the specialized lymphoepithelium remains largely unknown. Here, we have employed single cell transcriptomics and extensive flow cytometric analyses to unveil the molecular identity of tonsillar cells and to disentangle the heterogeneity of fibroblast and epithelial cell subsets in palatine tonsils. Our results reveal a remarkable conservation of stromal cell organization and molecularly-defined subsets in infant and adult human palatine tonsils.

Single cell RNAseq of B cell interacting reticular cells and immune cells from murine secondary lymphoid organs

Project description:B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of stromal cells and immune cells from murine lymph nodes, Peyer’spatches and spleens to analyse local BRC-immune cell interactions and compare them across SLOs and species. Shared BRC subsets were imprinted by tissue-specific gene signatures, but also expressed functionally convergent niche factors that directed regionalized leukocyte composition. Local BRC-immune cell interactions sustained BRC subset identity via immune cell-provided maturation factors. Bidirectional signalling programs were independent of activation state and mirrored across murine and human tissues. Collectively, our data reveal a conserved set of feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.

Paired scRNAseq of the and non-hematopoietic and the immune microenvironment of aspirates from newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients versus non-cancer controls

Project description:By generating a paired single cell RNA-sequencing database of the tumor niche from 10 newly diagnosed MM patients, we created a unique dataset allowing the in-depth analyses of stromal-immune interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Using this database, we identified the presence of inflammatory stromal fibroblasts in the bone marrow of Myeloma patients.The stromal inflammation was associated with NF-κB signaling, and sources of IL-1β or TNFα were specific immune subsets previously shown to be altered in MM, suggesting the presence of an immune cell-mediated feed-forward loop of bone marrow inflammation in MM. By tracking inflammatory signatures over time in individual patients undergoing first-line treatment using bulk RNA sequencing, we show that bone marrow inflammation is not reverted by successful anti-tumor therapy (see related accession number), suggesting a role for stromal fibroblasts and bone marrow inflammation in disease persistence or relapse.

Transcriptomic profiling of immune and stromal cells from the non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) environment

Project description:T lymphocytes can efficiently counteract the growth of tumors within the tumor microenvironment. Specialized immune-interacting fibroblasts, termed fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) are responsible for the formation of specialized niches promoting immune cell activation in secondary lymphoid organs and originate from embryonic progenitors. FRCs have also been identified in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in tumor tissues. However, the identity and differentiation of TLS-associated FRC subsets that promote intra-tumoral T cell activity have remained unexplored. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of fibroblasts and immune cells, sampled from subpleural margin, central margin and unaffected lung tissue in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating the formation of specific tumor T cell environments (TTEs) underpinned by CCL19-expressing FRCs. We detected tumor-specific FRC subsets namely CCL19-expressing TRCs and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) interacting with intratumoral T cells, and thus regulating FRC differentiation and T cell activation. Our results highlight a remarkable functionality of FRCs to efficiently determine protective antitumoral T cell responses in NSCLC.

An IL-1β driven neutrophil-stromal cell axis fosters a BAFF-rich microenvironment in multiple myeloma

Project description:Neutrophils are the most abundant nucleated cell type in the bone marrow. A pro-tumor bias in this cell type may have implications for bone-marrow residing malignancies, such as multiple myeloma. Here, we generated single cell transcriptomic overviews of the entire myeloid compartment, including the entire neutrophilic lineage, of the bone marrow of 6 newly diagnosed myeloma patients, 5 treated myeloma patients and 4 non-cancer controls. We find dat mature neutrophils in myeloma patients, both newly diagnosed and treated, have an activated and pro-inflammatory phenotype, accompanied by increased transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, and myeloma cell survival factors, such as BCMA-ligand BAFF/TNFSF13B. Moreover, inflammatory stromal cells can activate naive neutrophils to acquire an inflammatory phenotype as is seen in patients. Previously, we have shown that inflammatory stromal cells characterized the bone marrow of newly diagnosed myeloma patients. Here, we generate single cell RNA sequencing dataset of non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells of patients after induction treatment, high-dose melphalan, stem cell transplantation and consolidation treatment. We show that this intensive treatment reduced, but did not normalize, stromal inflammation.

Raw sequencing data files will be deposited to EGA.

IL-33 provision by reprogrammed tumor fibroblastic stromal cells promotes local T cell activity and facilitates melanoma eradication

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.

Single cell RNAseq analysis of fibroblastic reticular cells from murine brachial lymph nodes during inflamed and resting states

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.

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
