Project description:Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are tissue-resident, long-lived innate effector cells implicated in allergy and asthma. Upon activation, mature ILC2 rapidly secret large amounts of type-2 cytokines and other effector molecules. The molecular pathways that drive ILC2 activation are not well understood. Here we report that the transcriptional controller Core-binding factor β (CBFβ) is required for ILC2 activation. Deletion or inhibition of CBFβ did not impair the maintenance of ILC2 at homeostasis, but abolished ILC2 activation during allergic airway inflammation. Treatment with CBFβ inhibitors prevented ILC2-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model of acute Alternaria allergen inhalation. CBFβ promoted expression of key ILC2 genes at both transcriptional and translational levels. CBF transcriptional complex directly bound to Il13 and Vegfa promoters and enhancers, and controlled gene transcription. CBFβ further promoted ribosome biogenesis and enhanced gene translation in activated ILC2. Together, these data establish an essential role for CBFβ in ILC2 activation.

Project description:ILC2 cells are a newly described cell type whose biology and contribution to disease are poorly understood. ILC2 cells are activated by allergens, viral infection, and/or epithelial damage via IL-33 and IL-25. ILC2 cells require IL-2, IL-7, IL-25 and IL-33 for their survival and expansion. In mice, ILC2s produce multiple mediators primarily associated with type 2 inflammation (IL-13, IL-5, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, GM-CSF, amphiregulin). ILC2 cells may contribute to the pathology of asthma through multiple mediators that include IL-13-independent pathways. Our goal is to compare transcriptional profiles of IL-33- or IL-25-activated ILC2 cells from blood to characterize these cells and to identify marker(s) that can be utilized to detect them in human tissue. ILC2 cells (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+) were purified from human blood of 5 different donors by flow cytometry. The ILC2 yield ranged from 20,000 to 165,000 cells per donor (0.001-0.008% WBC). Purified ILC2s were expanded in vitro in the presence of IL-2, IL-7, IL-33 and IL-25 (each at 50 ng/ml) for 7-10 days. Expanded cells maintained the ILC2 phenotype (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+). The cells were rested for 2 days in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 and then treated in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 with either media control, IL-25 (50 ng/ml), IL-33 (50 ng/ml), and/or TSLP (50 ng/ml) in combination, for 6 or 24 hours. Whole RNA was isolated via the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). Stratagene Universal Human Reference RNA was used as the reference.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) represent innate homologues of Th2 cells that participate in immune defense and tissue homeostasis through production of type 2 cytokines. While T lymphocytes metabolically adapt to microenvironmental changes, knowledge of human ILC2 metabolism is limited and its key regulators are unknown. Here we show that circulating “naïve” ILC2 have an unexpected metabolic profile with a higher level of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) than NK cells. Accordingly, ILC2 are severely reduced in patients with mitochondrial disease and impaired OXPHOS. Metabolomic and nutrient receptors analysis reveals ILC2 uptake amino acids to sustain OXPHOS at steady-state. Upon activation with interleukin 33 (IL-33), ILC2 become highly proliferative relying on glycolysis and mTOR to produce IL-13, while continuing to fuel OXPHOS with amino acids to maintain cellular fitness and proliferation. Our results suggest that proliferation and function are metabolically uncoupled in human ILC2, offering new strategies to target ILC2 in disease settings.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are functionally poised, tissue-resident lymphocytes that respond rapidly to damage and infection at mucosal barrier sites. ILC2 reside within complex microenvironments where they are subject to cues from both the diet and invading pathogens – including helminths. Emerging evidence suggests ILC2 are acutely sensitive not only to canonical activating signals, but also perturbations in nutrient availability. In the context of helminth infection, we identify amino acid availability as a nutritional cue in regulating ILC2 responses. ILC2 were found to be uniquely pre-primed to import amino acids via the large neutral amino acid transporters Slc7a5 and Slc7a8. Cell-intrinsic deletion of these transporters individually impaired ILC2 expansion, while concurrent loss of both transporters markedly impaired the proliferative and cytokine producing capacity of ILC2. Moreover, amino acid determined the magnitude of ILC2 responses in part via tuning of mTOR. These findings implicate essential amino acids as a metabolic requisite for optimal ILC2 responses within mucosal barrier tissues.

Project description:Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), type-2 cytokines and eosinophils, have all been implicated in sustaining adipose tissue homeostasis. However, the interplay between the stroma and adipose-resident immune cells is less well understood. We identify that white adipose tissue-resident multipotent stromal cells (WAT-MSCs) can act as a reservoir for IL-33, especially after cell stress, but also provide additional signals for sustaining ILC2. Indeed, we demonstrate that WAT-MSCs also support ICAM-1-mediated proliferation and activation of LFA-1-expressing ILC2s. Consequently, ILC2-derived IL-4 and IL-13 feed-back to induce eotaxin secretion from WAT-MSCs supporting eosinophil recruitment. Thus, MSCs provide a niche for multifaceted dialogue with ILC2 to sustain a type-2 immune environment in WAT.

Project description:Group-2 innate-lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical mediators of the type-2 immune responses in multiple lung pathologies. We show that Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, plays a key role in regulating ILC2 functions by linking mechanical cues to biochemical signaling pathways. Both murine and human ILC2s strongly express Piezo1, and its activation by Yoda1 selectively enhances IL-13 production through calcium influx, which activates the mTOR-S6K pathway. This pathway leads to translational reprogramming, favoring IL-13 translation. Piezo1-deficient in ILC2s impairs this process, reducing IL-13 levels and resulting in attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in mouse models of IL-33- or Alternaria alternata-induced airway inflammation and bleomycin-induced fibrosis. These findings position Piezo1 as a critical mediator of ILC2-driven type-2 immune responses and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for lung diseases characterized by excessive inflammation. This streamlined understanding of Piezo1 function improves focus on its mechanistic role in lung pathology.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are a subset of innate lymphocytes that produce type 2 cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. GATA3 being a critical transcription factor for ILC2 development at multiple stages. However, when and how GATA3 is induced to the levels required for ILC2 development remains elusive. Herein, we identified ILC2-specific tandem GATA3-related super-enhancers (G3SE) that induce high GATA3 in ILC2-committed precursors. G3SE-deficient mice exhibit ILC2 loss in the BM, lung, liver, and small intestine, a slight ILC1 increase, and no difference in ILC3, LTi, NK cells, nor Th2 cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that GATA3 induction in late ILC2-committed precursors depends on G3SEs and is required for the transition to mature ILC2. Cnot6l, part of the CCR4-Not deadenylase complex, is a possible GATA3 target during ILC2 development. Our findings indicate a novel regulatory mechanism for GATA3 expression during ILC2 development.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are involved in type 2 inflammatory diseases such as allergy. In response to repeated allergen inhalations, lung epithelial cells secrete innate cytokines that activate ILC2s to release interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) resulting in eosinophil infiltration, mucus hyper-production, and airway hyperreactivity. Beside GATA3, very little is known about the role of specific transcription factors in the regulation of ILC2’s function. Here we identify c-Maf as a crucial regulator of ILC2 function and identity. c-Maf deficient ILC2s are impaired in IL-5 and IL-13 production and eosinophil recruitment. Transcriptomic analysis underlined a reduced expression of genes associated with Th2/ILC2 identity and memory development that we confirmed both in mice and human, either in ILC2s engineered to express less c-Maf or in naturally c-Maflow ILC2s from cord blood. Our results indicate that c-Maf is a core node that connects immature to primed/trained ILC2s.
