Tissue environment, not ontogeny, defines murine intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes.

ABSTRACT: Tissue-resident intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) patrol the gut and have important roles in regulating intestinal homeostasis. T-IEL include both induced T-IEL, derived from systemic antigen-experienced lymphocytes, and natural T-IEL, which are developmentally targeted to the intestine. While the processes driving T-IEL development have been elucidated, the precise roles of the different subsets and the processes driving activation and regulation of these cells remain unclear. To gain functional insights into these enigmatic cells, we used high-resolution, quantitative mass spectrometry to compare the proteomes of induced T-IEL and natural T-IEL subsets, with naive CD8⁺ T cells from lymph nodes. This data exposes the dominant effect of the gut environment over ontogeny on T-IEL phenotypes. Analyses of protein copy numbers of >7000 proteins in T-IEL reveal skewing of the cell surface repertoire towards epithelial interactions and checkpoint receptors; strong suppression of the metabolic machinery indicating a high energy barrier to functional activation; upregulated cholesterol and lipid metabolic pathways, leading to high cholesterol levels in T-IEL; suppression of T cell antigen receptor signalling and expression of the transcription factor TOX, reminiscent of chronically activated T cells. These novel findings illustrate how T-IEL integrate multiple tissue-specific signals to maintain their homeostasis and potentially function.

Upregulation of ICOS on CD43+ CD4+ murine small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes during acute reovirus infection.

Project description:Murine intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) can be classified according to expression of a CD43 glycoform recognized by the S7 monoclonal antibody. In this study, we examined the response of S7+ and S7- IELs in mice during acute reovirus serotype 3 (Dearing strain) infection, which was confirmed by virus-specific real-time PCR. In vivo proliferation increased significantly for both S7- and S7+ IELs on day 4 post-infection as determined by BrdU incorporation; however, expression of the inducible costimulatory (ICOS) molecule, which peaked on day 7 post-infection, was upregulated on S7+ CD4+ T cells, most of which were CD4+8- IELs. In vitro ICOS stimulation by syngeneic peritoneal macrophages induced IFN-gamma secretion from IELs from day 7 infected mice, and was suppressed by treatment with anti-ICOS mAb. Additionally, IFN-gamma mRNA increased in CD4+ IELs on day 6 post-infection. These findings indicate that S7- and S7+ IELs are differentially mobilized during the immune response to reovirus infection; that the regulated expression of ICOS is associated with S7+ IELs; and that stimulation of IELs through ICOS enhances IFN-gamma synthesis during infection.

Early lineage specification defines alveolar epithelial ontogeny in the murine lung.

Project description:During the stepwise specification and differentiation of tissue-specific multipotent progenitors, lineage-specific transcriptional networks are activated or repressed to orchestrate cell specification. The gas-exchange niche in the lung contains two major epithelial cell types, alveolar type 1 (AT1) and AT2 cells, and the timing of lineage specification of these cells is critical for the correct formation of this niche and postnatal survival. Integrating cell-specific lineage tracing studies, spatially specific mRNA transcript and protein expression, and single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis, we demonstrate that specification of alveolar epithelial cell fate begins concomitantly with the proximal-distal specification of epithelial progenitors and branching morphogenesis earlier than previously appreciated. By using a newly developed dual-lineage tracing system, we show that bipotent alveolar cells that give rise to AT1 and AT2 cells are a minor contributor to the alveolar epithelial population. Furthermore, single-cell assessment of the transcriptome identifies specified AT1 and AT2 progenitors rather than bipotent cells during sacculation. These data reveal a paradigm of organ formation whereby lineage specification occurs during the nascent stages of development coincident with broad tissue-patterning processes, including axial patterning of the endoderm and branching morphogenesis.

Tissue adaptation is the dominant driver of the proteomic landscape of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) patrol the single layer of epithelial cells lining the gut, and consist of both induced T-IEL, derived from systemic antigen-experienced lymphocytes, and natural IEL, that are developmentally targeted to the intestine. To gain functional insights into these enigmatic cells, we used high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry to investigate the proteomic landscape of the main T-IEL populations in the gut. Comparing the proteomes of induced T-IEL, tissue-resident memory TCRαβ+ CD8αβ+ cells and natural TCRγδ+ CD8αα+ and TCRαβ+ CD8αα+ T-IEL, with naive CD8+ T cells from lymph nodes reveals striking similarities between T-IEL subsets and the dominant effect of the gut environment on T-IEL phenotypes. Analysis of copy numbers/cell of >7000 proteins provides new understanding of the differences in composition of T cell antigen receptor signal transduction pathways in T-IEL versus conventional T cells and reveals skewing of the metabolic machinery towards an exhausted T cell phenotype adapted to the intestinal environment. This study provides a resource for exploring and understanding how multiple inputs are integrated into T-IEL function.

Control of the development of CD8??+ intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes by TGF-?.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms that direct the development of TCR??+CD8??+ intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are not thoroughly understood. Here we show that transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) controls the development of TCR??+CD8??+ IELs. Mice with either a null mutation in the gene encoding TGF-?1 or T cell-specific deletion of TGF-? receptor I lacked TCR??+CD8??+ IELs, whereas mice with transgenic overexpression of TGF-?1 had a larger population of TCR??+CD8??+ IELs. We observed defective development of the TCR??+CD8??+ IEL thymic precursors (CD4?CD8?TCR??+CD5+) in the absence of TGF-?. In addition, we found that TGF-? signaling induced CD8? expression in TCR??+CD8??+ IEL thymic precursors and induced and maintained CD8? expression in peripheral populations of T cells. Our data demonstrate a previously unrecognized role for TGF-? in the development of TCR??+CD8??+ IELs and the expression of CD8? in T cells.

Butyrophilin-like 2 regulates site-specific adaptations of intestinal γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes.

Project description:Tissue-resident γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) orchestrate innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. Epithelia-specific butyrophilin-like (Btnl) molecules induce perinatal development of distinct Vγ TCR+ IELs, however, the mechanisms that control γδ IEL maintenance within discrete intestinal segments are unclear. Here, we show that Btnl2 suppressed homeostatic proliferation of γδ IELs preferentially in the ileum. High throughput transcriptomic characterization of site-specific Btnl2-KO γδ IELs reveals that Btnl2 regulated the antimicrobial response module of ileal γδ IELs. Btnl2 deficiency shapes the TCR specificities and TCRγ/δ repertoire diversity of ileal γδ IELs. During DSS-induced colitis, Btnl2-KO mice exhibit increased inflammation and delayed mucosal repair in the colon. Collectively, these data suggest that Btnl2 fine-tunes γδ IEL frequencies and TCR specificities in response to site-specific homeostatic and inflammatory cues. Hence, Btnl-mediated targeting of γδ IEL development and maintenance may help dissect their immunological functions in intestinal diseases with segment-specific manifestations.

Intravital Microscopy to Visualize Murine Small Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocyte Migration.

Project description:Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are critical sentinels involved in host defense and maintenance of the intestinal mucosal barrier. IELs expressing the γδ T-cell receptor provide continuous surveillance of the villous epithelium by migrating along the basement membrane and into the lateral intercellular space between adjacent enterocytes. Intravital imaging has furthered our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which IELs navigate the epithelial compartment and interact with neighboring enterocytes at steady state and in response to infectious or inflammatory stimuli. Further, evaluating IEL migratory behavior can provide additional insight into the nature and extent of cellular interactions within the intestinal mucosa. Three protocols describe methodology to visualize small intestinal IEL motility in real time using fluorescent reporter-transgenic mice and/or fluorophore-conjugated primary antibodies and spinning-disk confocal microscopy. Using Imaris image analysis software, a fourth protocol provides a framework to analyze IEL migration and quantify lymphocyte/epithelial interactions. Together, these protocols for intravital imaging and subsequent analyses provide the basis for elucidating the spatiotemporal dynamics of mucosal immune cells and interactions with neighboring enterocytes under physiological or pathophysiological conditions. © 2022 The Authors.

IL-15 and PIM kinases direct the metabolic programming of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes.

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are an abundant population of tissue-resident T cells that protect and maintain the intestinal barrier. IEL respond to epithelial cell-derived IL-15, which is complexed to the IL-15 receptor α chain (IL-15/Rα). IL-15 is essential both for maintaining IEL homeostasis and inducing IEL responses to epithelial stress, which has been associated with Coeliac disease. Here, we apply quantitative mass spectrometry to IL-15/Rα-stimulated IEL to investigate how IL-15 directly regulates inflammatory functions of IEL. IL-15/Rα drives IEL activation through cell cycle regulation, upregulation of metabolic machinery and expression of a select repertoire of cell surface receptors. IL-15/Rα selectively upregulates the Ser/Thr kinases PIM1 and PIM2, which are essential for IEL to proliferate, grow and upregulate granzyme B in response to inflammatory IL-15. Notably, IEL from patients with Coeliac disease have high PIM expression. Together, these data indicate PIM kinases as important effectors of IEL responses to inflammatory IL-15.

Intraepithelial lymphocytes are associated with epithelial injury in feline intestinal T-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Our previous study indicated that cytotoxicity of intraepithelial lymphocytes is a poor prognostic factor in feline intestinal T-cell lymphoma (FITL), but the effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes on mucosal epithelium is still unknown. Thus, we investigated the association between cytotoxic lymphocytes and mucosal epithelium in 71 cases of feline intestinal T-cell lymphoma (FITL): epithelial injury, basement membrane injury, cleaved-caspase-3 positivity of epithelial cells, and the number and Ki67 positivity of intraepithelial lymphocytes in granzyme B (GRB)+ and GRB- FITLs were evaluated. Epithelial injury score and the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes in granzyme B (GRB)+ FITL were significantly higher than those of GRB- FITL (P<0.05, P<0.05), but no significant differences were found in the basement membrane injury score, the percentage of cleaved-caspase-3+ epithelial cells, and the percentage of Ki67+ intraepithelial lymphocytes. There was a significant correlation between the epithelial injury score and the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (P<0.05), but no significant correlation was observed between the epithelial injury score and Ki67+ percentage of intraepithelial lymphocytes. Because epithelial cell cleaved-caspase-3 positivity was observed in FITL, regardless of GRB expression in lymphocytes, GRB-mediated apoptosis may not contribute to epithelial injury in FITL. The association between increased number of intraepithelial lymphocytes and epithelial injury suggests that intraepithelial lymphocytes infiltration may contribute to epithelial injury in FITL.

Intestinal Epithelial Cells-Derived Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1? Is Essential for the Homeostasis of Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes.

Project description:Hif-1? is a master regulator which involved in the transcriptional regulation of anti-inflammatory or cellular responding to hypoxia. Previous work shows that the absence of Hif-1? results in the destruction of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) and abnormalities of intestinal barrier function. However, we know very little about other functions of Hif-1? on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL). Therefore, we generated a transgenic mouse (Hif1-? ?IEC mice), which was knocked out Hif1-? specifically in IECs, to study the effect of Hif1-? on IEL. IELs were isolated from the small intestine and colon of mice, respectively, and examined by flow cytometry and quantitative real-time PCR. All the cytokines expression was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The NSAID enteropathy was induced by gavaged with 5 mg/kg indomethacin and the experimental colitis was induced by administration of 2.5% DSS. We found that the number of IELs is increased in Hif1-? ?IEC mice. It is showed that knockout of Hif1-? in IECs led to significant changes in IEL phenotype, including a marked decline in the CD8??+ and TCR??+ population. The reduction of CD8??+ IELs is accompanied by increased apoptosis, decreased proliferation and weakened migration in Hif1-? ?IEC mice. Moreover, absence of intestinal epithelial Hif1-? markedly changed the population of IELs in NSAID-induced small intestinal injury and increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. In summary, our results first time demonstrate that IEC-derived Hif1-? is essential for maintaining IELs homeostasis and intestinal microbiota.
