Analysis of transcriptomic profile of iNKT cells

ABSTRACT: The maintenance of tissue homeostasis is critically dependent on the function of tissue-resident lymphocytes, including lipid-reactive invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. iNKT cells have unique properties according to their tissues of residency, but if and how the tissue environment shapes their antigen specificity remains unknown. By analysing iNKT cells from tissues of mice and humans we demonstrate that their T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is highly diverse and is distinct for iNKT cells resident in individual tissues resulting in differential lipid-antigen recognition. Within peripheral tissues, the TCR repertoire of iNKT cell recent thymic emigrants is different from that of mature cells, indicating that the iNKT population is shaped after their arrival to the tissues. Accordingly, in homeostatic conditions the repertoire of iNKT cells is modulated by tissue-specific signals that control iNKT cell activation and proliferation resulting in differential clonal expansion found for cells resident in various organs. Moreover, the iNKT cell TCR repertoire changes in response to lipid immunization and is shaped by age and by environmental changes. Thus, post-thymic modification of the iNKT cell TCR repertoire underpins the distinct antigen specificity of iNKT cells residing in peripheral tissues

CD1d-restricted NKT cell function prevents insulin resistance in lean mice, and is regulated by adipocytes and is regulated by adipocytes

Project description:Lipid overload and adipocyte dysfunction are key to the development of insulin resistance and can be induced by a high-fat diet. CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have been proposed as mediators between lipid overload and insulin resistance, but recent studies found decreased iNKT cell numbers and marginal effects of iNKT cell depletion on insulin resistance under high-fat diet conditions. Here, we focused on the role of iNKT cells under normal conditions. We showed that iNKT cell–deficient mice on a low-fat diet, considered a normal diet for mice, displayed a distinctive insulin resistance phenotype without overt adipose tissue inflammation. Insulin resistance was characterized by adipocyte dysfunction, including adipocyte hypertrophy, increased leptin, and decreased adiponectin levels. The lack of liver abnormalities in CD1d-null mice together with the enrichment of CD1d-restricted iNKT cells in both mouse and human adipose tissue indicated a specific role for adipose tissue–resident iNKT cells in the development of insulin resistance. Strikingly, iNKT cell function was directly modulated by adipocytes, which acted as lipid antigen-presenting cells in a CD1d-mediated fashion. Based on these findings, we propose that, especially under low-fat diet conditions, adipose tissue–resident iNKT cells maintain healthy adipose tissue through direct interplay with adipocytes and prevent insulin resistance. four samples

Gene expression profiling of CD244+CXCR6+ C2 iNKT cell subet and CD244-CXCR6+ C1 iNKT cell subset

Project description:We identified a novel subset of iNKT cells, C2 iNKT cells, that circulate in the periphery. Correspondingly, we characterized the tissue-resident iNKT cell subset, C1 iNKT cells. The development and terminal maturation of C2 iNKT cells completely depended on the thymic epithelial IL-15 niche, whereas C1 iNKT cells were regulated also by local IL-15 niches in peripheral tissues. C2 iNKT cells expressed high levels of genes related to cytotoxicity and exhibited more NK cell-like features. Functionally, C2 iNKT cells regulated self-antigen expression for immune tolerance in the thymus and mediated cancer immunosurveillance in the periphery.

Transnuclear mice reveal a population of Peyer’s patch iNKT cells that regulate B cell class switching to IgG1

Project description:Tissue resident iNKT cells maintain tissue homeostasis and peripheral surveillance against pathogens; however, studying these cells is challenging due to low abundance and poor recovery from tissues. To increase the number of tissue resident iNKT cells, we used transnuclear mice cloned from iNKT nuclei. We detected iNKT cells from tissues where they are rare, including adipose, lung, skin-draining lymph nodes, and a previously undescribed population in Peyer’s patches (PP). We characterized the transcriptional profile of this novel population by bulk RNA-Seq.

Expression data of hepatic iNKT cells from pLck-hCD1d transgenic mice

Project description:CD1d expression by thymocytes is required to select iNKT cells. When CD1d is expressed only on thymocytes (pLck-CD1d tg mice), iNKT cells are hyperresponsive to antigen stimulation suggesting that, in physiological conditions, these cells undergo functional education mediated by additional CD1d-expressing cells. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of this functional education. We find that peripheral iNKT cells from pLck-CD1d tg mice express significantly less SHP-1, a tyrosine phosphatase negatively regulating TCR signaling, than WT cells. iNKT cells from heterozygous SHP-1-mutated motheaten mice, displaying similar SHP-1 reduction as pLck-CD1d tg iNKT cells, are antigen-hyperresponsive. Restoring normal CD1d expression in pLck-CD1d tg mice normalizes SHP-1 expression and responsiveness of iNKT cells. In WT mice, iNKT cells upregulate SHP-1 and decrease responsiveness upon emigration from thymus to periphery. This depends on contacts with CD1d-expressing DCs. iNKT cell functional education is therefore controlled by DCs via tuning SHP-1 expression level in the periphery.

T Cell Responses to Varicella Zoster Virus

Project description:<p>Diversity and size of the antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire are two critical determinants for successful control of chronic infection. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) that establishes latency during childhood is able to escape control mechanisms, in particular with increasing age. We examined the TCR diversity of VZV-specific CD4 T cells in individuals older than 50 years by studying three identical twin pairs and three unrelated individuals before and after vaccination with live attenuated VZV. While all individuals had a small number of dominant T cell clones, the breadth of the VZV-specific repertoire differed markedly among different individuals. A genetic influence was seen for the sharing of individual TCR sequences from antigen-specific cells, but not for repertoire richness or the selection of clonal dominance. VZV vaccination favored the expansion of infrequent VZV-specific TCRs including those from naïve T cells while leaving dominant T cell clones mostly unaffected.</p>

TET proteins regulate lineage specification and TCR-mediated expansion of iNKT cells (SMART-Seq)

Project description:TET proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and further oxidation products in DNA. Here we report that simultaneous deletion of Tet2 and Tet3 in mouse double-positive thymocytes resulted in dysregulated development and proliferation of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Tet2-Tet3-double-deficient (DKO) iNKT cells displayed pronounced skewing towards the NKT17 lineage, with increased DNA methylation and impaired expression of genes encoding the key lineage-specifying factors T-bet and ThPOK. Transfer of purified Tet2-Tet3 DKO iNKT cells into immunocompetent recipient mice resulted in uncontrolled expansion dependent on the nonclassical MHC protein CD1d, which presents lipid antigens to iNKT cells. Our data indicate that TET proteins regulate iNKT cell fate by ensuring proper development and maturation and suppressing aberrant T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated proliferation.
