In Situ Maturation and Tissue Adaptation of Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Progenitors

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the full spectrum of lung ILC2s at single-cell transcriptome resolution and identified an immature population of Il18r1+ tissue-associated ILCs, that express Tcf7 and Zbtb16, transcription factors known to act in ILC progenitors, and low levels of Gata3, ST2 and ILC2 effector molecules. We revealed a continuous differentiation trajectory and validated the potential of immature Il18r1+ cells to differentiate into Gata3hi ILC2s. We found that immature ILCs were recruited into the adult lung of parabiotic and shield chimeric mice during helminth infection. Intriguingly, recruited cells generated the entire spectrum of ILC2s in the lung, consistent with their potential role in the renewal of tissue ILC2s. Our work identifies local ILC progenitors and highlights their tissue adaptation and in situ differentiation as a mechanism of ILC maintenance and phenotypic diversification

Tissue-specific transcriptional imprinting and heterogeneity in human innate lymphoid cells revealed by full-length single-cell RNA-sequencing

Project description:The impact of the microenvironment on innate lymphoid cell (ILC)-mediated immunity in humans remains largely unknown. Here we used full-length Smart-seq2 single-cell RNA-sequencing to unravel tissue-specific transcriptional profiles and heterogeneity of CD127+ ILCs across four human tissues. Correlation analysis identified gene modules characterizing the migratory properties of tonsil and blood ILCs, and signatures of tissue-residency, activation and modified metabolism in gut and lung ILCs. Trajectory analysis revealed potential differentiation pathways from circulating and tissue-resident naïve ILCs to a spectrum of mature ILC subsets. In the lung we identified both CRTH2+ and CRTH2- ILC2 with lung-specific signatures, which could be recapitulated by alarmin-exposure of circulating ILC2. Finally, we describe unique TCR-V(D)J-rearrangement patterns of blood ILC1-like cells, revealing a subset of potentially immature ILCs with TCR-d rearrangement. In summary, we provide publicly available data as a resource for in-depth understanding of ILC-mediated immunity in humans, with implications for disease.

Transcriptional profiles of human circulating innate lymphoid cells and CD4 T helper cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are part of the innate immune cell family. Three different subsets of ILCs, ILC1s, ILC2s and ILCPs can be identified in human peripheral blood. Based on their expression of transcription factors and cytokines, they are considered as being the innate counterparts of CD4 T helper subsets, namely Th1s, Th2s and Th17s. However, ILCs and Th cells have different roles in immunity. Therefore, we compared the transcriptomes of sorted ILC1s, ILC2s, ILCPs, Th1s, Th2s and Th17s from the peripheral blood of three different donors. RNA sequencing of ILC and Th subsets revealed differences in the expression of tens to hundreds of genes. These genes are involved in cell trafficking, innate activation and inhibitory functions. ILC and Th cell subsets also differ in their expressions of long-non coding RNAs.

Thymus exports precursors of innate lymphoid cells to the blood and peripheral tissues

Project description:Thymus has been shown to have a high capacity to support the differentiation of ILCs. Whether it actually contributes to ILC pools in the body is not clear. Single cell RNA sequencing analyses using wild type and athymic nude mice show a substantial amount of thymus-derived ILC precursors in the blood, along with differentiated ILC subsets which may or may not be generated in the thymus. The precursors express CD3 intracellularly (ic) but not on the surface. icCD3ε+ cells are primarily found in immature forms in peripheral tissues including the lung, small intestine and epidermis, and differentiate into ILC subsets in different tissue environments in steady state. Helminth infection promotes their differentiation towards functional ILC2s. Thus, the thymus exhibits a previously unappreciated role in replenishing ILC pools in different peripheral tissues through life. This finding is of great significance in understanding age-related differences in immune responses and pathophysiology.

The transcription factor GATA3 is critical for the development of all IL-7Ra-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 2 ILCs

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles during innate immune responses to pathogens and lymphoid organ development. IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets, similar to T helper (Th) cell subsets, produce distinctive effector cytokines. The molecular control of IL-7Ra+ ILC development and maintenance has yet to be dissected. Here we report that GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets and T cells. Gata3 conditional deficient mice have no lymph nodes and are susceptible to Citrobactor rodentium infection. Genome-wide gene analyses indicate that GATA3 regulates similar set of cytokines and receptors in ILC2s and Th2 cells and is critical for the maintenance of ILC2s. Thus, GATA3 plays parallel roles in establishing and regulating both adaptive and innate lymphocytes. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells by tamoxifen-mediated acute deletion of Gata3 gene.

Neuromedin U receptor-1 amplifies inflammatory lung innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote mucosal homeostasis, yet also contribute to pathologic type 2 inflammation in allergic asthma. Alarmin cytokines produced by damaged and stressed epithelial cells, such as IL-25, activate ILC2s, but it remains unclear if these cytokines are unique in switching homeostatic ILC2s into pro-inflammatory cells that drive tissue inflammation. To identify molecular cues that modulate ILC responses to alarmins, we collected single-cell RNA-seq profiles of lung-resident ILCs at steady state and after in vivo stimulation. Computational and functional analysis identified that ILC2s express the neuropeptide receptor Nmur1. Neuromedin U (NMU), the ligand of Nmur1, activates ILCs in vitro, and when co-administered with IL-25 in vivo, NMU dramatically amplifies allergic inflammation and induces ILC2 expansion. Finally, loss of NMU/Nmur1-signaling reduces ILC2 frequency and effector function following allergen challenge in vivo. Our results demonstrate that Nmur1 signaling modifies alarmin-mediated ILC2 responses to promote pro-inflammatory ILCs, and highlights the importance of neuro-immune crosstalk in allergic inflammatory responses at mucosal surfaces.

Gene expression profiling of murine innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently recognized heterogenous group of immune cells that are critical in orchestrating immunity and inflammation in the intestine, but whether ILCs influence immune responses or tissue homeostasis at other mucosal sites remains poorly characterized. Here we identify a population of lung-resident ILCs in mice and humans that expressed the alloantigen Thy-1 (CD90), interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor a-chain (CD25), IL-7 receptor a-chain (CD127) and the IL-33 receptor subunit T1-ST2. Notably, mouse ILCs accumulated in the lung after infection with influenza virus, and depletion of ILCs resulted in loss of airway epithelial integrity, diminished lung function and impaired airway remodeling. These defects were restored by administration of the lung ILC product amphiregulin. Collectively, our results demonstrate a critical role for lung ILCs in restoring airway epithelial integrity and tissue homeostasis after infection with influenza virus. As part of this study, we performed gene expression profiling to examine how the transcriptional signatures compared between murine naïve group 2 lung ILC and group 3 splenic LTi cell populations. Group 2 ILCs from the lung (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ T1/ST2+) and Group 3 LTi cells from the spleen (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ CD4+) were sort-purified from naive wildtype C57BL/6 mice using BD FACS Aria. Four biological replicates were collected, each replicate containing 1.5 x 104 to 2 x104 cells sorted to a purity >97% from six pooled lungs (ILCs) or 10 pooled spleens (LTi cells). Cells were sorted directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen), then mRNA was isolated, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip (Mouse Gene 1.0 ST).

The Tumor Microenvironment Shapes Innate Lymphoid Cells in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a typical inflammation-associated cancer. Tissue resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have been suggested to control tumor surveillance. Here we studied how the local cytokine milieu controls ILCs in HCC. Design: We performed bulk RNA sequencing of HCC tissue as well as flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing of enriched ILCs from non-tumor liver, margin and tumor core derived from 48 HCC patients. Simultaneous measurement of protein and RNA expression at the single-cell level (AbSeq) identified precise signatures of ILC subgroups. In-vitro culturing of ILCs was used to validate findings from in-silico analysis. Analysis of RNA-sequencing data from large HCC cohorts allowed stratification and survival analysis based on transcriptomic signatures. Results: RNA sequencing of tumor, non-tumor and margin identified tumor-dependent gradients of which were not only associated with poor survival but also control ILC plasticity. Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry of ILCs from HCC livers identified NK-like cells in the non-tumor tissue, losing their cytotoxic profile as they transitioned into tumor ILC1 and NK-like-ILC3 cells. Tumor ILC composition was mediated by cytokine gradients that directed ILC plasticity towards activated tumor ILC2s. This was liver-specific and not seen in ILCs from PBMC. Patients with high ILC2/ILC1 ratio expressed IL-33 in the tumor that promoted ILC2 generation which was associated with better survival. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the tumor cytokine milieu controls ILC composition and HCC outcome. Specific changes of cytokines modify ILC composition in the tumor by inducing plasticity and alter ILC function.

Down-regulation of E protein activity augments an ILC2 differentiation program in the thymus

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important regulators in various immune responses. Current paradigm states that all newly-made ILCs originate from common lymphoid progenitors (CLP) in the bone marrow. Id2, an inhibitor of E protein transcription factors, is indispensable for ILC differentiation. Unexpectedly, we found that ectopically expressing Id1 or deleting two E protein genes in the thymus drastically increased ILC2 counts in the thymus and other organs where ILC2 normally reside. Further evidence suggests a thymic origin of these mutant ILC2s. The mutant mice exhibit augmented spontaneous infiltration of eosinophils and heightened responses to papain in the lung and increased ability to expulse the helminth parasite, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. These results prompt the question whether the thymus naturally has the capacity to produce ILC2s and E proteins restrain such a potential. The abundance of ILC2s in Id1 transgenic mice also offers a unique opportunity for testing the biological functions of ILC2s.
