ILC1 lineage identity is determined by a cis-regulatory element marked by a novel lncRNA [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise three groups of recently identified tissue resident immune cell lineages that play critical roles in protective immune responses and tissue homeostasis. While significant progress has been made in defining the key protein mediators of ILC development and function, how cis-acting epigenetic regulatory elements or long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate ILCs is unknown. Herein, we describe a cis-regulatory element demarcated by a novel lncRNA that controls the maturation, function and lineage identity of group 1 ILCs while being dispensable for early ILC development and homeostasis of mature ILC2s and ILC3s. We named this ILC1-restricted lncRNA Rroid. The Rroid locus controls the functional specification and lineage identity of ILC1 by promoting chromatin accessibility and STAT5 deposition at the promoter of its neighboring gene, Id2, in response to the ILC1-specific cytokine IL-15.

Identification of aceNKPs, a committed common progenitor of the ILC1 and NK cell continuum

Project description:The development of innate lymphoid cell (ILC) transcription factor reporter mice has shown a previously unexpected complexity in ILC haematopoiesis. Using novel polychromic mice to achieve higher phenotypic resolution we have characterised bone marrow progenitors that are committed to the group 1 ILC lineage. These common ILC1/NK progenitors, which we call ‘aceNKPs’, are defined as lineage–Id2+IL-7Ra+CD25–a4b7–NKG2A/C/E+Bcl11b–. In vitro, aceNKPs differentiate into group 1 ILCs, including NK-like cells that express Eomes without the requirement for IL-15, and produce IFN-g and perforin upon IL-15 stimulation. Following reconstitution of Rag2–/–Il2rg–/– hosts, aceNKPs give rise to a spectrum of mature ILC1/NK cells (regardless of their tissue location) that cannot be clearly segregated into the traditional ILC1 and NK subsets, suggesting that group 1 ILCs constitute a dynamic continuum of ILCs that can develop from a common progenitor. In addition, aceNKP-derived ILC1/NK cells effectively ameliorate tumour burden in a model of lung metastasis where they acquired a cytotoxic NK cell phenotype. Our results identify the primary ILC1/NK progenitor that lacks ILC2 or ILC3 potential and is strictly committed to ILC1/NK cell production irrespective of tissue homing.

Distinct Gene Regulatory Pathways for Human Innate Versus Adaptive Lymphoid Cells [gene expression]

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) serve as sentinels in mucosal tissues, sensing release of soluble inflammatory mediators, rapidly communicating danger via cytokine secretion, and functioning as guardians of tissue homeostasis. Although ILCs have been studied extensively in model organisms, little is known about these âfirst respondersâ in humans, especially their lineage and functional kinships to cytokine-secreting T helper cell (Th) counterparts. Here, we report gene regulatory circuitries for four human ILCâTh counterparts derived from mucosal environments, revealing that each ILC subset diverges as a distinct lineage from Th and circulating natural killer cells, but shares circuitry devoted to functional polarization with their Th counterparts. Super-enhancers demarcate cohorts of cell identity genes in each lineage, uncovering new modes of regulation for signature cytokines, novel molecules that likely impart important functions to ILCs, and potential mechanisms for autoimmune disease SNP associations within ILCâTh subsets. RNA was isolated from two to five replicates of ILC1, ILC3, Th1, Th2 and NK cells. Gene expression levels were determined using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.

Identification of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modified RNA in activated ILC1

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are able to directly respond to alarmin signals and produce an array of effector molecules for immune protection and tissue homeostasis. However, how posttranscriptional machinery in ILCs execute extracellular stimuli towards robust gene expression is yet to understand. Here, we reported a cell type-specific role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in ILCs. Inducible deletion of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 had little impact on ILC maintenance in the steady state or cytokine-induced ILC1 or ILC3 activation, but dramatically diminished IL-25-triggered ILC2 response. Specific deletion of Mettl3 in ILC2 significantly attenuated cell expansion, cytokine production, inter-organ migration, and anti-helminth immunity. To investigate the molecular mechanism by which m6A modification regulates ILC response, we subjected IL-12 plus IL-18-activated ILC1 to a m6A-tagged mRNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (meRIP-seq) to identify the m6A modified mRNA.

Gene expression analysis of CD4+ and CD4- ILC1 subsets by RNAseq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-Î³; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq

Dichotomous Regulation of Group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells by Non-gastric Helicobacter Species from an Immunocompromised Mouse

Project description:Intestinal innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) contribute to the protective immunity and homeostasis of the gut, and the microbiota are critically involved in shaping ILC function. However, the role of the gut microbiota in regulating ILC development and maintenance still remains elusive. Here, we identified opposing effects on ILCs by two Helicobacter species, Helicobacter apodemus and Helicobacter typhlonius, isolated from immunocompromised mice. We demonstrated that the introduction of both Helicobacter species activated ILCs and induced gut inflammation; however, these Helicobacter species negatively regulated RORγt+ Group 3 ILCs (ILC3s), especially T-bet+ ILC3s, and diminished their proliferative capacity. Thus, these findings underscore a previously unknown dichotomous regulation of ILC3s by Helicobacter species, and may serve as a model for further investigations to elucidate the host-microbe interactions that critically sustain the maintenance of intestinal ILC3s.

Effector differentiation downstream of lineage commitment in ILC1 is driven by Hobit across tissues.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) mediate early immunity against infection and participate in tissue inflammation and homeostasis. It is unclear how ILCs acquire effector function, and whether these mechanisms differ between organs. Through multiplexed single-cell mRNA-sequencing we identified cKit+CD127hiTCF-1hi early differentiation stages of T-bet+ ILC1. These cells were present across different organs and had the potential to mature towards CD127intTCF-1int and CD127-TCF-1- ILC1. Paralleling a gradual loss of TCF-1, differentiating ILC1 forfeited their expansion potential while increasing expression of effector molecules, reminiscent of T cell differentiation in secondary lymphoid organs. The transcription factor Hobit was induced in TCF-1hi ILC1s and was required for their effector differentiation. These findings reveal sequential mechanisms of ILC1 lineage commitment and ILC1 effector differentiation that are conserved across tissues. Our analyses suggest that ILC1 emerge as TCF-1hi cells in the periphery and acquire a spectrum of organ-specific effector phenotypes through a uniform Hobit-dependent differentiation pathway driven by local cues.

Genome Wide Chromatin Mapping of Aiolos accessability and H3K27ac histone modifications in transfected MNK3 cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes subdivided into ILC1s, ILC2s and ILC3s based on core regulatory programs and signature cytokines secreted. ILCs exhibit functional plasticity: for instance, human IL-22-producing ILC3s convert into IFN-γ-producing ILC1-like in vitro. Whether this conversion occurs in vivo is unclear. Using flow cytometry, mass cytometry and scRNAseq, here we found that ILC3s and ILC1s occupy opposite ends of a spectrum including discrete subsets in human tonsils. RNA velocity suggested strong directionality toward ILC1s for one ILC3-ILC1 intermediate cluster. Clonal analysis revealed graded ability of ILC3-ILC1 subsets to convert into ILC1-like cells. When examined in humanized mice, ILC3 acquisition of ILC1 features showed tissue-dependency. In chromatin studies, Aiolos emerged as a nuclear factor that cooperates with Tbet to repress evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements active in ILC3s. The human intestine also exhibited an ILC3–ILC1 transitional population. We conclude that conversion of ILC3s to ILC1-like occurs in vivo in human tissues, and that tissue factors and Aiolos are crucial for this process.
