Altered thymic differentiation and modulation of arthritis by invariant NKT cells expressing mutant ZAP70 [II]

ABSTRACT: Various subsets of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells with different cytokine productions develop in the mouse thymus, but the factors driving their differentiation remain unclear. Here we show that hypomorphic alleles of Zap70 or chemical inhibition of Zap70 catalysis lead to an increase of IFN-g-producing iNKT cells (NKT1 cells), suggesting NKT1 cells may require a lower TCR signal threshold. Zap70 mutant mice develop IL-17-dependent arthritis. iNKT cells and therapeutic induction of IFN-g secretion by activating iNKT cells are protective in this model, but the representation of IFNg versus IL-17 secreting iNKT cells in the joint change in favor of IL-17 producers as disease worsened. NKT1 cells are also present in the synovial fluid of arthritis patients, where they could be beneficial. Our data therefore suggest that TCR signal strength during thymic differentiation may influence not only IFNg production, but also the protective function of iNKT cells in arthritis.

RNA-Seq on wild-type and Ezh2 knock-out invariant natural killer T cells and CD44hi CD4+ T cells

Project description:Several subsets of NKT cells have been identified, including IFNγ-producing NKT1 cells, IL-4-producing NKT2 cells and IL-17-producing NKT17 cells. We sought to determine to the effect of loss of the polycomb repressive complex 2 protein Ezh2 on gene expression in NKT cells and CD44high CD4+ T cells from mice. Transcriptional profiles of iNKT cells from wild-type (WT) and Ezh2 KO iNKT mice were determined.

RORγt inhibition selectively targets IL-17 producing human iNKT and γδ-T cells enriched in Spondyloarthritis while preserving IL-22 responses

Project description:Dysregulated IL-23/IL-17 responses have been linked to psoriatic arthritis and other forms of spondyloarthritides (SpA). RORγt, the key Thelper17 (Th17) cell transcriptional regulator, is also expressed by subsets of innate-like T cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and γδ-T cells, but how they contribute to disorders such as SpA is still unclear. Here we describe the presence of particular RORγt+T-betloPLZF- iNKT and γδ-hi T cell subsets in healthy peripheral blood. RORγt+ iNKT and γδ-hi T cells showed profound IL-23 mediated Th17-like immune responses and were clearly enriched within inflamed joints of SpA patients where they act as major IL-17 secretors. SpA derived iNKT and γδ-T cells showed a unique Th17 skewed phenotype and gene expression profile. Strikingly, RORγt inhibition blocked γδ17 and iNKT17 cell function while selectively sparing IL-22+ subsets. Overall, these findings highlight a unique diversity of human RORγt+ T cells and underscore the potential of RORγt antagonism to modulate aberrant type 17 responses.

Gpx4 regulates iNKT cell homeostasis and function by preventing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a group of innate like T cells that plays important roles in immune homeostasis and activation. We found that iNKT cells, compared to CD4+ T cells, have significantly higher levels of lipid peroxidation in both mice and humans. Proteomic analysis also demonstrated that iNKT cells express higher levels of Glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), a major antioxidant enzyme that reduces lipid peroxidation and prevents ferroptosis. T cell specific deletion of Gpx4 reduces iNKT cell population, most prominently the IFNg producing NKT1 subset. RNAseq analysis revealed IFNg signaling, cell cycle regulation, as well as mitochondrial function are perturbed by Gpx4 deletion in iNKT cells. Consistently, we detected impaired cytokine production, elevated cell proliferation and cell death, and accumulation of lipid peroxides and mitochondrial ROS in Gpx4 KO iNKT cells. Ferroptosis inhibitor, iron chelator, vitamin E and vitamin K2 can prevent ferroptosis induced by Gpx4 deficiency in iNKT cells and ameliorate the impaired function of iNKT cells due to Gpx4 inhibition. Lastly, vitamin E rescued iNKT cell population in Gpx4 KO mice. Altogether, our findings reveal the critical role of Gpx4 in regulating iNKT cell homeostasis and function, through controlling lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Single cell analysis reveals multiple subsets of CD8+ TRM and non-TRM cells with a type 17 signature in the inflamed psoriatic arthritis joint

Project description:CD69+CD103+ tissue-resident memory T-cells (TRM) are increasingly recognised as important drivers of inflammation. To decipher their potential role in inflammatory arthritis, we applied single cell, high-dimensional profiling (CyTOF and scRNAseq) to T-cells isolated from the joint of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We identified three broad groups of synovial CD8+ TRM cells: cytotoxic and Treg-like TRM cells were present in the inflamed joints of patients with both PsA and RA, while CD161+CXCR6+ type 17-like TRM cells with a pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-17A+TNFa+IFNg+) and a distinct transcriptomic signature and a polyclonal, but distinct TCR repertoire, were specifically enriched in the inflamed joints of patients with PsA. Type 17-like cells were also enriched in non-TRM CD8+ T-cells in PsA compared to RA. These findings add substantively to the accumulating evidence that the immunopathology of PsA and RA is different, with a particular role for type 17 cells in PsA.

Altered thymic NKT1 and NKT2 differentiation in murine haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with chronic GvHD

Project description:To investigate whether intermediate iNKT precursor cells were affected in GvHD mice along the differentiation journey toward mature effector cells, we performed scRNA-seq on thymic iNKT precursors from BMT mice with and without cGvHD and non-BMT mice. We identified Multiple early and late NKT1 precursor clusters and further explored the development of NKT1 under physiological as well as transplantation condition.

Characterization of the developmental landscape of murine RORγt+ iNKT cells

Project description:Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and producing IL-17 represent a minor subset of CD1d-restricted iNKT cells (iNKT17) in C57BL/6J (B6) mice. We aimed in this study to define the reasons for their low distribution and the sequence of events accompanying their normal thymic development. We found that RORγt+ iNKT cells have higher proliferation potential and a greater propensity to apoptosis than RORγt- iNKT cells. These cells do not likely reside in the thymus indicating that thymus emigration, and higher apoptosis potential, could contribute to RORγt+ iNKT cell reduced thymic distribution. Ontogeny studies suggest that mature HSAlow RORγt+ iNKT cells might develop through developmental stages defined by a differential expression of CCR6 and CD138 during which RORγt expression and IL-17 production capabilities are progressively acquired. Finally, we found that RORγt+ iNKT cells perceive a strong TCR signal that could contribute to their entry into a specific Th17 like developmental program influencing their survival and migration. Overall, our study proposes a hypothetical thymic developmental sequence for iNKT17 cells, which could be of great use to study molecular mechanisms regulating this developmental program.

Single cell analysis of activated iNKT cells from murine epididymal adipose tissue and spleen

Project description:We show that iNKT cells undergo rapid and extensive transcriptional remodeling after activation with the lipid antigen αGalactosylceramide (αGalCer). A common transcriptional framework underpins the activation of heterogeneous iNKT cell populations, including NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17 cells. We show that regulatory iNKT cell populations, including iNKT cells from epididymal adipose tissue, undergo blunted activation and show reduced transcriptional remodeling after αGalCer. We find that regulatory iNKT cell populations are enriched for memory-like KLRG1+ and cMAF+ iNKT subsets, and express gene signatures associated with adaptive Tr1 cells. IL-10 producing NKT10 cells express cMAF, and show enrichment for a cMAF-associated gene network. We also show that NKT10 cells are also phenotypically similar to adaptive Tr1 cells and NKTFH cells.

A comparison of the transcriptional profiles of invariant NKT cells derived from Wild type and Eomes conditional knockout mice

Project description:Functional subsets of iNKT cells, NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17, have been reported to arise during the thymus to peripheral differentiation stages. The key transcription factors for NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17 development in the thymus have been identified as T-bet, Gata3 and Rorγt, respectively. In contrast, these iNKT cell subsets can also undergo further differentiation in the periphery. Eomesodermin (Eomes) is a T-box transcription factor with high homology to T-bet and is expressed by activated CD8+ T cells as well as in resting and activated NK cells. However, its role in invariant (i)NKT cells remains unknown. Here, we show the impact of Eomes on iNKT cells in the thymus and peripheral tissue using conditional knockout (Eomes-cKO) mice. Eomes regulates the differentiation of NKT1 cells in the thymus. In the peripheral tissue, Klrg1+ iNKT1 cells are generated in lung after vaccination with -GalCer-pulsed DCs (DC/Gal) as memory like iNKT cells. In the current study, we found that Eomes also regulates their differentiation into memory-like KLRG1+iNKT cells in the periphery.

CMTM4 is a subunit of the IL-17 receptor and mediates autoimmune pathology

Project description:Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a key mediator of protective immunity to yeast and bacterial infections but also drives the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. Here, we show that the tetra-transmembrane protein CMTM4 is a subunit of the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R). CMTM4 constitutively associated with IL-17R subunit C (IL-17RC) to mediate its stability, posttranslational modification, and plasma membrane localization. Both mouse and human cell lines deficient in CMTM4 were largely unresponsive to IL-17A, due to their inability to assemble the IL-17 receptor signaling complex. Accordingly, CMTM4-deficient mice were largely resistant to experimental psoriasis. Collectively, our data identified CMTM4 as an essential component of the IL-17 receptor and a potential therapeutic target for treating IL-17-mediated autoimmune diseases.
