Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) shape the organization of secondary lymphoid organs and actively promote the induction of immune responses by coordinating the interaction of innate and adaptive immune cells. However, the mechanisms underlying FRC functions during viral infections have remained largely unexplored. In the study, we combined FRC-specific genetic ablation of the type 1 IFN-alpha receptor (IFNAR) with high-dimensional transcriptomics analyses to elaborate the phenotypical alterations and functional consequences of impaired innate immunological sensing in FRC during lymph node-restricted viral infection

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in the small intestine govern immune homeostasis and protect the host against gut pathogens. While distinct cell-intrinsic signals have been identified that determine ILC development and differentiation, it has remained unclear which cell population regulates ILC sustenance. Using unbiased single cell RNA transcriptomic analysis of intestinal fibroblasts, we have identified a specialized Ccl19-expressing fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) population that underpins solitary intestinal lymphoid tissue (SILT) structures including cryptopatches and isolated lymphoid follicles. Conditional ablation of lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) signalling in SILT FRC impeded the maturation of isolated lymphoid follicles and blocked ILC maintenance through the downregulation of IL-7, consequently resulting in the elevated susceptibility to bacterial infection. Moreover, specific Ltbr ablation in FRC during adulthood revealed that constant LTβR-dependent FRC-ILC interaction is required to maintain SILT structures and ILC populations. Taken together, our study unveils a critical intestinal FRC niche that secures protective gut immunity.

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Project description:Splenic white pulp (WP) structures are underpinned by fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) to facilitate splenic compartmentalization and execute efficient immune responses. Although distinct WP FSCs exhibit various molecular traits, the origin and the hierarchical differentiation of different cell subsets are not characterized. Here we showed, the organization of splenic WP and the differentiation of WP FSCs were governed by lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signaling pathway. Cell fate mapping analysis revealed that different WP fibroblastic stromal cells descend from a common perivascular LTβR-sensitive mesenchymal lymphoid organizer cells (mLTo) at prenatal stage. Moreover, embryonic mLTo cells required LTβR signaling to give rise to different WP stromal cell subsets, while the proliferation of these cells was devoid of LTβR signaling but followed the development of WP during ontogeny. Moreover, cell fate mapping from different time point indicated a consecutive commitment of mLTo cells initiated from the proximal region around the splenic artery. RNAseq and differentiation trajectory analysis of distinct FSCs showed that Ltbr-deficient cells and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) from adult spleen exhibited a progenitor phenotype and revealed a closer hierarchical lineage with embryonic mLTo cells. Taken together, our results unveil that embryonic mLTo cells residing in the perivascular niches can give rise to different FSC populations in a LTβR-dependent manner during development.

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) are immunologically specialized myofibroblasts that control the elasticity of the lymph node (LN), in part through their contractile properties. Swelling of tumor-draining LN is a hallmark of lymphophilic cancers such as cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma displays high intratumoral heterogeneity with the coexistence of melanoma cells with variable differentiation phenotypes, from melanocytic to dedifferentiated states. Factors secreted by melanoma cells promote pre-metastatic LN reprograming and tumor spreading. Elucidating the impact of the melanoma secretome on FRC could help identify approaches to prevent metastasis. Here we show that melanocytic and dedifferentiated melanoma cells differentially impact the FRC contractile phenotype. Factors secreted by dedifferentiated cells, but not by melanocytic cells, strongly inhibited actomyosin-dependent contractile forces of FRC by decreasing the activity of the RHOA-ROCK pathway and the mechano-responsive transcriptional co-activator YAP. Transcriptional profiling and biochemical analyses indicated that actomyosin cytoskeleton relaxation in FRC is driven by inhibition of the JAK1-STAT3 pathway. This FRC relaxation was associated with increased FRC proliferation and activation and with elevated tumor invasion in vitro. The secretome of dedifferentiated melanoma cells also modulated the biomechanical properties of distant LN in pre-metastatic mouse models. Lastly, interleukin-1 produced by dedifferentiated cells was involved in the inhibition of FRC contractility. These data highlight the role of the JAK1-STAT3 and YAP pathways in spontaneous contractility of resting FRC. They also suggest that dedifferentiated melanoma cells specifically target FRC biomechanical properties to favor tumor spreading in the pre-metastatic LN niche. Targeting this remote communication could be an effective strategy to prevent metastatic spread of the disease.
