Endogenous glucocorticoids control host resistance to viral infection through the tissue-specific regulation of PD1 expression on NK cells

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Controlling the balance between immunity and immunopathology is crucial for host resistance to pathogens. Upon infection, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leads to the production of glucocorticoids (GCs). However, the pleiotropic effects of these steroid hormones make it difficult to decipher their precise role in vivo. Our purpose was to study how GCs regulate the function of group 1 ILCs in spleen and liver upon Murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Methods: We studied the in vivo effect of endogenous GCs released upon MCMV infection on NK cells in spleen and liver and ILC1s in the liver. We compared WT mice with GRNcr1-iCre mice, in which the gene encoding for GC receptor (GR) is selectively deleted in Ncr1+ cells. Results: We found that the regulation of NK function by the GR is required for host protection against MCMV. Mechanistically, endogenous GCs produced shortly after infection induce the selective and tissue-specific expression of the immune checkpoint PD1 on NK cells. This GC-PD1 pathway mediates its immunoregulatory functions by limiting interferon (IFN)-g production by splenic NK cells, preventing lethal immunopathology. Importantly, this regulation does not compromise viral clearance. Conclusions:The fine-tuning of a selective subset of ILCs by the HPA axis preserves tissue integrity without impairing pathogen elimination, revealing a novel aspect of neuro-immune regulation.

Glucocorticoids inhibit human hematopoietic stem cell differentiation toward a common ILC precursor

Project description:Background: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise cytotoxic NK cells and “helper” ILCs (hILCs). Human hILC development is less characterized as compared to NK cells, although all ILCs are developmentally related. It has been reported that the immunosuppressive drugs glucocorticoids (GCs) regulate ILCs function, but whether they control ILCs differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is unknown. Objective: We sought to analyze the effect of GCs on ILC development from HSCs. Methods: We exploited an in vitro system to generate and expand from peripheral blood (PB) HSCs a multipotent CD56+ ILC precursor able to differentiate into NK cells, ILC1s and ILC3s. We also analyzed ex vivo, at different time points, the PB of allogeneic HSC transplantation (HSCT) recipients who were or were not treated with GCs and compared ILC subset reconstitution. Results: We show that, in vitro, GCs favor the generation of NK cells from myeloid precursors, while they strongly impair lymphoid development. In support to these data, HSCT recipients who had been treated with GCs display a lower number of circulating hILCs, including the ILCP previously identified as a systemic substrate for tissue ILC differentiation. Conclusions: GCs impair the development of the CD117+ ILCP from CD34+ HSCs, while they do not affect the further steps of ILCP differentiation towards NK cells and hILC subsets. This reflects an association of GC treatment with a marked reduction of circulating hILCs in the recipients of HSCT.

Reprogramming of glucocorticoid receptor function by hypoxia: ChIP-seq in the liver.

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most important stress hormones. They act via the GC receptor GR (encoded by the Nr3c1 gene). Their role is to control metabolic pathways, and to limit inflammation. The latter is often compromised, by unknown mechanisms, in severe inflammatory conditions. We here investigated the in vivo impact of hypoxia on GR function in mice, by genome wide analysis in liver and by means of deep hypoxia. Our data reveal that hypoxia leads to profound reductions in transcriptional output of GR, when stimulated with dexamethasone, leading to absent induction of genes with anti-inflammatory functions such as Tsc22d3 and Dusp1 in liver and other organs. Hypoxia also activates the entire HPA axis, by HIF1α and HIF2α activation in hypothalamus, causing long-term corticosterone production by adrenals. The latter leads to lipolysis in adipose tissue, followed by β-oxidation and ketogenesis in liver, but also to the reprogramming of GR, whereby GR limits its anti-inflammatory functions. These genome-wide RNAseq and ChIPSeq data, accompanied with studies using GR inhibitor, GR mutant mice and adrenalectomized animals suggest that hypoxia leads to increased sensitivity for acute inflammation and lack of protection by dexamethasone, due to the chronic HPA axis stimulation. Our data unfold new physiological pathways, that may have consequences for patients suffering from GC resistance or living at high altitudes.

scRNA-Seq of negatively enriched NK cells 4 days post MCMV infection

Project description:Ly49G2+ NK cells mediate essential control of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection in mice which express the H-2Dk class I molecule. As a cognate ligand for specific Ly49G2 inhibitory receptor allotypes, H-2Dk also licenses Ly49G2+ NK cells in naïve and MCMV-infected mice. These findings suggest Ly49G2 may promote antiviral NK cell activities during MCMV infection. Indeed, in mice lacking the Ly49G2 receptor, MCMV resistance is fully abrogated. Additionally, NK cells expressing Ly49R, an NK cell associated activation receptor that also recognizes H-2Dk, have their function augmented by Ly49G2 and are required for MCMV resistance.

Different developmental pathways generate functionally distinct populations of natural killer cells

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells function by eliminating virus-infected cells or tumor cells. Here, we identified a NK lineage-biased progenitor population, termed early NK progenitors (ENKP), which developed into NK cells independently of common precursors for ILCs (ILCPs). ENKP-derived NK cells (ENKP_ NK cells) and ILCP-derived NK cells (ILCP_ NK cells) were also transcriptionally different. We devised combinations of surface markers that identified highly enriched ENKP_NK and ILCP_NK cell populations in wild-type mice. Furthermore, Ly49H+ NK cells that responded to mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection primarily developed from ENKPs whereas ILCP_NK cells were better IFN-g producers upon Salmonella and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections. Interestingly, human CD56dim and CD56bright NK cells were transcriptionally similar to ENKP_NK cells and ILCP_NK cells, respectively. Our findings establish the existence of two pathways of NK cell development that generate functionally distinct NK cell subsets in mice, and further suggest these pathways may be conserved in humans.

Fate mapping of single NK cells identifies a type 1 innate lymphoid-like lineage that bridges innate and adaptive recognition of viral infection [scRNAseq_Ly49H+_NK_retrogenic_spleen]

Project description:Upon viral infection, NK cells expressing certain germline-encoded receptors are selected, expanded and maintained in an adaptive-like manner. Currently, these are thought to differentiate along a common pathway. However, by fate mapping of single NK cells upon murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, we identified two distinct NK cell lineages that contributed to adaptive-like responses. One was equivalent to conventional NK (cNK) cells while the other was transcriptionally similar to type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). ILC1-like NK cells showed splenic-residency and strong cytokine production but also recognized and killed MCMV-infected cells, guided by activating receptor Ly49H. Moreover, they induced clustering of conventional type 1 dendritic cells and facilitated antigen-specific T cell priming early during MCMV infection, which depended on Ly49H and the NK cell-intrinsic expression of transcription factor Batf3. Thereby, ILC1-like NK cells bridge innate and adaptive viral recognition and unite critical features of cNK cells and ILC1s.
