Environmental signals rather than layered ontogeny imprint the function of type 2 conventional dendritic cells in young and adult mice.

ABSTRACT: Conventional dendritic cells (cDC) are key activators of naive T cells, and can be targeted in adults to induce adaptive immunity, but in early life are considered under-developed or functionally immature. Here we show that, in early life, when the immune system develops, cDC2 exhibit a dual hematopoietic origin and, like other myeloid and lymphoid cells, develop in waves. Developmentally distinct cDC2 in early life, despite being distinguishable by fate mapping, are transcriptionally and functionally similar. cDC2 in early and adult life, however, are exposed to distinct cytokine environments that shape their transcriptional profile and alter their ability to sense pathogens, secrete cytokines and polarize T cells. We further show that cDC2 in early life, despite being distinct from cDC2 in adult life, are functionally competent and can induce T cell responses. Our results thus highlight the potential of harnessing cDC2 for boosting immunity in early life.

Tissue signals imprint ILC2 identity with anticipatory function.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are distributed systemically and produce type 2 cytokines in response to a variety of stimuli, including the epithelial cytokines interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Transcriptional profiling of ILC2s from different tissues, however, grouped ILC2s according to their tissue of origin, even in the setting of combined IL-25-, IL-33-receptor-, and TSLP-receptor-deficiency. Single-cell profiling confirmed a tissue-organizing transcriptome and identified ILC2 subsets expressing distinct activating receptors, including the major subset of skin ILC2s, which were activated preferentially by IL-18. Tissue ILC2 subsets were unaltered in number and expression in germ-free mice, suggesting that endogenous, tissue-derived signals drive the maturation of ILC2 subsets by controlling expression of distinct patterns of activating receptors, thus anticipating tissue-specific perturbations occurring later in life.

Tissue signals imprint ILC2 identity with anticipatory function [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are distributed systemically and produce type 2 cytokines in response to a variety of stimuli, including the epithelial cytokines interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Transcriptional profiling of ILC2s from different tissues, however, grouped ILC2s according to their tissue of origin, even in the setting of combined IL-25, IL-33R and TSLPR-deficiency. Single-cell profiling confirmed a tissue-organizing transcriptome and identified ILC2 subsets expressing distinct activating receptors, including the major subset of skin ILC2s, which were activated preferentially by IL-18. Tissue ILC2 subsets were normal in germ- free mice, suggesting that endogenous, tissue-derived, signals drive the maturation of ILC2 subsets by controlling expression of distinct patterns of activating receptors, thus anticipating tissue-specific patterns to perturbations occurring later in life.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cell and myeloid dendritic cell function in ageing: A comparison between elderly and young adult women.

Project description:Ageing is associated with a changing immune system, leading to inflammageing (increased levels of inflammation markers in serum) and immunosenescence (reduced immune cells and reduced responses towards pathogens). This results in reduced vaccination responses and increased infections in elderly. Much is known about the adaptive immune system upon ageing, but less is known about the innate immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare innate immune function of Toll like receptor (TLR)-mediated responses between elderly and young adult women. To this end, elderly and young adult women were compared to study the effect of ageing on the relative prevalence and reactivity to TLR-mediated responses of myeloid- and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (mDC, pDC). In addition, TLR expression and inflammatory markers in serum were investigated. Elderly women had reduced numbers of circulating pDCs. In addition, pDCs and mDCs of elderly women responded differently towards TLR stimulation, especially TLR7/8 mediated stimulation was reduced, compared to young adults. In serum, markers involved in inflammation were generally increased in elderly. In conclusion, this study confirms and extends the knowledge about immunosenescence and inflammageing on innate immunity in elderly women.

Layered ontogeny and in situ perinatal priming of tissue ILC2s

Project description:The perinatal period is a critical window for the distribution of innate tissue-resident immune cells to developing organs. Despite epidemiologic evidence implicating early life environment in risk for allergy, temporally controlled lineage-tracing of ILC2s during this period has not been done. Using complementary fate-mapping approaches and fluorescent reporters of ILC2 activation, we demonstrate that ILC2s appear in multiple organs during late gestation similar to tissue macrophages, but unlike the latter, a majority of peripheral ILC2 pools are generated de novo during a postnatal window. This period was accompanied by systemic ILC2 priming and acquisition of tissue-specific expression profiles. Although perinatal ILC2s are variably replaced with age, the dramatic increases in tissue ILC2s following helminth infection are mediated through local expansion independent of de novo generation by BM hematopoiesis. We provide the first comprehensive temporally controlled fate-mapping of an innate lymphocyte subset with notable nuances as compared to tissue macrophage ontogeny
