Project description:Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, already differentiated and located at mucosal sites, are critical in the body’s first wave of defenses against invading pathogens. Bcl11b KO MAIT cells fail to be maintained both in the thymus and peripheral organs. Furthermore, MAIT cells fail to fully develop in the thymus without Bcl11b, failing to upregulate RORγt, and that phenotype remains in the lungs and livers of these mice. Bcl11b deletion in MAIT cells causes dramatic shifts in the activation and TH17 programs, due to the binding of Bcl11b in many of those genes, which we have seen in the human MAIT cells. MAIT cells rely on PLZF and RORγt for their development and function, while also heavily relying on Bcl11b. These data show the key interplay of Bcl11b with PLZF and RORγt in a T cell leading to its development and necessary function to protect the body against diseases.

Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subpopulation of T lymphocytes that respond to microbial metabolites. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolic analyses in MAIT cell subsets in thymus and peripheral tissues from mice and humans to define the heterogeneity and developmental path of these innate-like lymphocytes. We show that the predominant mouse subset, which produces IL-17 (MAIT17), and the subset that produces IFN (MAIT1), have greatly different transcriptomes and metabolic states in the thymus and periphery. A subset has a transcriptome similar to circulating lymphocytes, and in mice these are found in recent thymic emigrants, suggesting partially mature cells emigrate from the thymus. Human MAIT cells are predominantly MAIT1 cells, but have a different metabolism from naïve CD8 T cells with increased fatty acid uptake and storage. Although mouse and human subsets are similar in thymus, in the periphery they are divergent, likely reflecting environmental and genetic differences.

Project description:In mice, contrary to conventional T cells, MAIT cells acquire a memory phenotype in the thymus in relation with Zbtb16 expression (Savage et al., 2008 ; Koay et al., 2016). To define phenotypic transcriptional signatures of MAIT subsets in the thymus, we analyzed by microarray the transcriptome of MAIT1 (MR1tet+RORgt+) and MAIT17 (MR1tet+RORgt+) as compared to conventional mature (TCRb+CD24lo) CD4+ and CD8+ single positive cells.

Project description:Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize the riboflavin pathway-derived metabolite 5-(2-oxopropylideneamino)-6-d-ribitylaminouracil (5-OP-RU) presented by the MHC-Ib molecule MR1. Both MR1 and the T cell receptor genes used by MAIT cells are under strong evolutionary pressure in mammals, suggesting an important role of 5-OP-RU-specific T cells across species. In humans and mice, MAIT cells acquire distinctive effector functions linked to the expression of the master transcription factor ZBTB16 (PLZF) during thymic development. Conservation of a unique differentiation program in 5-OP-RU-specific T cells from other species is unclear. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the development of 5-OP-RU-specific T cells in 6 species spanning 110 million years of mammalian evolution. Cross-species comparative analyses revealed a conserved sequence of transcriptional events underlying the maturation of 5-OP-RU-specific thymocytes, marked by the early expression of ZBTB16 in all species. MAIT cells also co-expressed the transcription factors TBX21 (Tbet) and RORC (RORgt) in human, sheep, cattle and opossum. By contrast, Tbet and RORgt were expressed by distinct subsets of MAIT cells in the thymus of rodents, including pet mice and >30 genetically diverse mouse strains, dismissing a laboratory mouse artifact. In mice, RORgt+ MAIT cells further matured in the mesenteric lymph nodes and intestines to acquire a transcriptional program remarkably conserved in MAIT cells from non-rodent species and characterized by co-expression of type 1 and type 17 effector genes, but also genes associated with cytotoxicity and tissue repair. Thus, we define a deeply conserved transcriptional program for 5-OP-RU-specific T cells, which may help understand their functions.
