Microbiota-dependent crosstalk between macrophages and ILC3 promotes intestinal homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: The intestinal microbiota and tissue-resident myeloid cells promote immune responses that maintain intestinal homeostasis in the host. However, the cellular cues that translate microbial signals into intestinal homeostasis remain unclear. Here, we show that deficient granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production altered mononuclear phagocyte effector functions and led to reduced regulatory T cell (T(reg)) numbers and impaired oral tolerance. We observed that ROR?t(+) innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the primary source of GM-CSF in the gut and that ILC-driven GM-CSF production was dependent on the ability of macrophages to sense microbial signals and produce interleukin-1?. Our findings reveal that commensal microbes promote a crosstalk between innate myeloid and lymphoid cells that leads to immune homeostasis in the intestine.

Campylobacter infection promotes IFNγ-dependent intestinal pathology via ILC3 to ILC1 conversion.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous family of immune regulators that protect against mucosal pathogens but can also promote intestinal pathology. Although the plasticity between ILCs populations has been described, the role of mucosal pathogens in inducing ILC conversion leading to intestinal pathology remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that IFNγ-producing ILCs are responsible for promoting intestinal pathology in a mouse model of enterocolitis caused by Campylobacter jejuni, a common human enteric pathogen. Phenotypic analysis revealed a distinct population of IFNγ-producing NK1.1-T-bet+ILCs that accumulated in the intestine of C. jejuni-infected mice. Adoptive transfer experiments demonstrated their capacity to promote intestinal pathology. Inactivation of T-bet in NKp46+ ILCs ameliorated disease. Transcriptome analysis and cell-fate mapping experiments revealed that IFNγ-producing NK1.1-ILCs correspond to ILC1 profile and develop from RORγt+ progenitors. Collectively, we identified a distinct population of NK1.1-ex-ILC3s that promotes intestinal pathology through IFNγ production in response to C. jejuni infection.

Feeding-dependent VIP neuron-ILC3 circuit regulates the intestinal barrier.

Project description:The intestinal mucosa serves both as a conduit for the uptake of food-derived nutrients and microbiome-derived metabolites, and as a barrier that prevents tissue invasion by microorganisms and tempers inflammatory responses to the myriad contents of the lumen. How the intestine coordinates physiological and immune responses to food consumption to optimize nutrient uptake while maintaining barrier functions remains unclear. Here we show in mice how a gut neuronal signal triggered by food intake is integrated with intestinal antimicrobial and metabolic responses that are controlled by type-3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3)1-3. Food consumption rapidly activates a population of enteric neurons that express vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)4. Projections of VIP-producing neurons (VIPergic neurons) in the lamina propria are in close proximity to clusters of ILC3 that selectively express VIP receptor type 2 (VIPR2; also known as VPAC2). Production of interleukin (IL)-22 by ILC3, which is upregulated by the presence of commensal microorganisms such as segmented filamentous bacteria5-7, is inhibited upon engagement of VIPR2. As a consequence, levels of antimicrobial peptide derived from epithelial cells are reduced but the expression of lipid-binding proteins and transporters is increased8. During food consumption, the activation of VIPergic neurons thus enhances the growth of segmented filamentous bacteria associated with the epithelium, and increases lipid absorption. Our results reveal a feeding- and circadian-regulated dynamic neuroimmune circuit in the intestine that promotes a trade-off between innate immune protection mediated by IL-22 and the efficiency of nutrient absorption. Modulation of this pathway may therefore be effective for enhancing resistance to enteropathogens2,3,9 and for the treatment of metabolic diseases.

ILC3-derived OX40L is essential for homeostasis of intestinal Tregs in immunodeficient mice.

Project description:OX40L is one of the co-stimulatory molecules that can be expressed by splenic lymphoid tissue inducer (Lti) cells, a subset of group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s). OX40L expression in subsets of intestinal ILC3s and the molecular regulation of OX40L expression in ILC3s are unknown. Here, we showed intestinal ILC3s marked as an OX40Lhigh population among all the intestinal leukocytes and were the dominant source of OX40L in Rag1-/- mice. All ILC3 subsets expressed OX40L, and NCR-ILC3s were the most abundant source of OX40L. The expression of OX40L in ILC3s could be upregulated during inflammation. In addition to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A), which has been known as a trigger for OX40L, we found that Poly (I:C) representing viral stimulus promoted OX40L expression in ILC3s via a cell-autonomous manner. Furthermore, we demonstrated that IL-7-STAT5 signaling sustained OX40L expression by ILC3s. Intestinal regulatory T cells (Tregs), most of which expressed OX40, had defective expansion in chimeric mice, in which ILC3s were specifically deficient for OX40L expression. Consistently, co-localization of Tregs and ILC3s was found in the cryptopatches of the intestine, which suggests the close interaction between ILC3s and Tregs. Our study has unveiled the crosstalk between Tregs and ILC3s in mucosal tissues through OX40-OX40L signaling, which is crucial for the homeostasis of intestinal Tregs.

The Transcription Factor ThPOK Regulates ILC3 Lineage Homeostasis and Function During Intestinal Infection.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have been identified as a heterogeneous population of lymphocytes that mirrors the cytokine and transcriptional profile of adaptive T cells. The dynamic balance between key transcription factors determines the heterogeneity, plasticity, and functions of ILC subsets. The transcription factor ThPOK is highly conserved in biological evolution and exerts pivotal functions in the differentiation of T cells. However, the function of ThPOK in ILC3s has not been identified. Here, we found that ThPOK regulated the homeostasis of ILC3s, as mice lacking ThPOK showed decreased NKp46+ ILC3s and increased CCR6- NKp46- ILC3s. ThPOK-deficient mice were more sensitive to S. typhimurium infection due to the impaired IFN-γ secretion of NKp46+ ILC3s. Furthermore, ThPOK participates in ILC3-mediated control of C. rodentium infection by negatively regulating IL-17A secretion. ThPOK preserves the identity of NKp46+ ILC3s by repressing RORγt, which indirectly releases T-bet expression. On the molecular level, ThPOK directly binds to Rorc and Il23r to restrain their expression which further modulates IL-17A secretion. Collectively, our analysis revealed a critical role of ThPOK in the homeostasis and functions of ILC3 subsets.

Crosstalk Between Intestinal Microbiota Derived Metabolites and Tissues in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Project description:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an evidence based- cellular immunotherapy for hematological malignancies. Immune reactions not only promote graft-versus-tumor effects that kill hematological malignant cells but also graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that is the primary complication characterized by systemic organ damages consisting of T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) activation. GVHD has long been recognized as an immunological reaction that requires an immunosuppressive treatment targeting immune cells. However immune suppression cannot always prevent GVHD or effectively treat it once it has developed. Recent studies using high-throughput sequencing technology investigated the impact of microbial flora on GVHD and provided profound insights of the mechanism of GVHD other than immune cells. Allo-HSCT affects the intestinal microbiota and microbiome-metabolome axis that can alter intestinal homeostasis and the severity of experimental GVHD. This axis can potentially be manipulated via dietary intervention or metabolites produced by intestinal bacteria affected post-allo-HSCT. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of experimental GVHD regulation by the complex microbial community-metabolites-host tissue axis. Furthermore, we summarize the major findings of microbiome-based immunotherapeutic approaches that protect tissues from experimental GVHD. Understanding the complex relationships between gut microbiota-metabolites-host tissues axis provides crucial insight into the pathogenesis of GVHD and advances the development of new therapeutic approaches.

IL-10-Dependent Crosstalk between Murine Marginal Zone B Cells, Macrophages, and CD8α<sup>+</sup> Dendritic Cells Promotes Listeria monocytogenes Infection.

Project description:Type 1 CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are required for CD8+ T cell priming but, paradoxically, promote splenic Listeria monocytogenes infection. Using mice with impaired cDC2 function, we ruled out a role for cDC2s in this process and instead discovered an interleukin-10 (IL-10)-dependent cellular crosstalk in the marginal zone (MZ) that promoted bacterial infection. Mice lacking the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 or CD19 lost IL-10-producing MZ B cells and were resistant to Listeria. IL-10 increased intracellular Listeria in cDC1s indirectly by reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase expression early after infection and increasing intracellular Listeria in MZ metallophilic macrophages (MMMs). These MMMs trans-infected cDC1s, which, in turn, transported Listeria into the white pulp to prime CD8+ T cells. However, this also facilitated bacterial expansion. Therefore, IL-10-mediated crosstalk between B cells, macrophages, and cDC1s in the MZ promotes both Listeria infection and CD8+ T cell activation.

CSF1/CSF1R-mediated Crosstalk Between Choroidal Vascular Endothelial Cells and Macrophages Promotes Choroidal Neovascularization.

Project description:PurposeThis study examined the role of the CSF1/CSF1Raxis in the crosstalk between choroidal vascular endothelial cells (CVECs) and macrophages during the formation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV).MethodsQuantitative reverse transcriptase (QRT)-PCR, Western blot and ELISA measured the production and release of CSF1 from human choroidal vascular endothelial cells (HCVECs) under hypoxic conditions. Western blot detected CSF1 released from HCVECs under hypoxic conditions that activated the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 axis in human macrophages via binding to CSF1R. Transwell migration assay, qRT-PCR, and Western blot detected the effect of CSF1 released from HCVECs on macrophage migration and M2 polarization via the CSF1R/PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 pathway. Incorporation of 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine, transwell migration, and tube formation assays detected the effects of CSF1/CSF1R on the behaviors of HCVECs. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and immunofluorescence detected the effect of blockade of CSF1/CSF1R on mouse laser-induced CNV. Color fundus photograph, ICGA, and FFA detected CNV lesions in neovascular AMD (nAMD) patients. ELISA detected CSF1 and CSF1R in the aqueous humor of age-related cataract and nAMD patients.ResultsCSF1 released from HCVECs under hypoxic conditions activated the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 axis in human macrophages via binding to CSF1R, promoting macrophage migration and M2 polarization via up-regulation of the CSF1R/PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 pathway. Human macrophages promoted the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of HCVECs in a CSF1/CSFR1-dependent manner under hypoxic conditions. CSF1/CSF1R blockade ameliorated the formation of mouse laser-induced CNV. CSF1 and CSF1R were increased in the aqueous humor of nAMD patients.ConclusionsOur results affirmed the crucial role of CSF1/CSF1R in boosting the formation of CNV and offered potential molecular targets for the treatment of nAMD.

Interplay between bile acids and the gut microbiota promotes intestinal carcinogenesis.

Project description:The gut microbiota and the bile acid pool play pivotal roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Bile acids are produced in the liver from cholesterol and metabolized in the intestine by the gut microbiota. Gut dysbiosis has been reported to be associated with colorectal cancer. However, the interplay between bile acid metabolism and the gut microbiota during intestinal carcinogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the potential roles of bile acids and the gut microbiota in the cholic acid (CA; a primary bile acid)-induced intestinal adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence. Apc min/+ mice, which spontaneously develop intestinal adenomas, were fed a diet supplemented with 0.4% CA for 12 weeks. Mice that were fed a normal diet were regarded as untreated controls. In CA-treated Apc min/+ mice, the composition of the gut microbiota was significantly altered, and CA was efficiently transformed into deoxycholic acid (a secondary bile acid) by the bacterial 7α-dehydroxylation reaction. The intestinal adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence was observed in CA-treated Apc min/+ mice and was accompanied by an impaired intestinal barrier function and IL-6/STAT3-related low-grade inflammation. More importantly, microbiota depletion using an antibiotic cocktail globally compromised CA-induced intestinal carcinogenesis, suggesting a leading role for the microbiota during this process. Overall, our data suggested that the crosstalk between bile acids and the gut microbiota mediated intestinal carcinogenesis, which might provide novel therapeutic strategies against intestinal tumor development.
