Type 3 innate lymphoid cells direct goblet cell differentiation via the LT-LTβR pathway during Listeria infection

ABSTRACT: As a specialized subset of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), goblet cells (GCs) play an important role during the antibacterial response via mucin production. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in GC differentiation and function during infection, particularly the role of immune cell-IEC crosstalk, remain largely unknown. Here, using VillinΔLtbr conditional knockout mice, we demonstrate that LTβR, expressed on IECs, is required for GC hyperplasia and mucin 2 (MUC2) expression during Listeria infection for host defense but not homeostatic maintenance in the naïve state. Analysis of single gene-deficient mice revealed that the ligand lymphotoxin (LT) but not LIGHT and type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) but not conventional T cells are required for MUC2-dependent Listeria control. Conditional deficiency of LT in ILC3s further confirmed the importance of LT signals derived from ILC3s. Lack of ILC3-derived LT or IEC-derived LTβR resulted in defective expression of genes related to GC differentiation but was not correlated with IEC proliferation and cell death, which were found to be normal by Ki-67 and Annexin V staining. In addition, the alternative NF-κB signaling pathway (involving RelB) in IECs was found to be required for the expression of GC differentiation-related genes and Muc2 and required for the anti-Listeria response. Therefore, our data together suggest a previously unrecognized ILC3-IEC interaction and LT-LTβR-RelB signaling axis governing GC differentiation and function during Listeria infection for host defense.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells continuously require the transcription factor GATA3 after commitment

Project description:GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7RÎ±-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) and type 2 ILCs (ILC2s). However, the importance of low GATA3 expression in type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) is still elusive. Here, we report that GATA3 regulates homeostasis of ILC3s by controlling IL-7RÎ± expression. In addition, GATA3 is critical for the development of NKp46+ ILC3 subset partially through regulating the balance between T-bet and RORÎ³t. Genome-wide analyses indicate that while GATA3 positively regulates CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3 subset-specific genes in respective lineages, it negatively regulates CCR6+ ILC3-specific genes in NKp46+ ILC3s. Furthermore, GATA3 regulates IL-22 production in both CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3s. Thus, low GATA3 expression is critical for the development and function of ILC3 subsets. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in total ILC3s with RNA-Seq; To identify unique genes expressed by CCR6+ ILC3 or NKp46+ ILC3 and GATA3 regulated genes within these two ILC3 subsets with RNA-Seq; To identify GATA3 direct binding sites in ILC3s, ILC2s and Th2 cells with ChIP-Seq.

RelA and RelB-dependent transcriptome analysis in lymphotoxin-ß receptor stimulated mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Project description:Background: Lymphotoxin signaling via the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) has been implicated in several biological processes, ranging from development of secondary lymphoid organs, maintenance of splenic tissue, host defense against pathogens, autoimmunity, and lipid homeostasis. The major transcription factor that is activated by LTβR crosslinking is NF-κB. Two signaling pathways have been described that result in the activation of classical p50-RelA and alternative p52-RelB NF-κB heterodimers. Results: Using microarray analysis, we investigated the transcriptional response downstream of the LTβR in mouse embryoni fibroblasts (MEF) and its regulation by the RelA and RelB subunits of NF-κB. We describe novel LTβR-responsive genes that are regulated by RelA and/or RelB. Interestingly, we found that the majority of LTβR-regulated genes require the presence of both RelA and RelB, suggesting significant crosstalk between the two NF-κB activation pathways. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis confirmed that LTβR-NF-κB target genes are predominantly involved in the regulation of immune responses. However, other biological processes, such as apoptosis/cell death, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and taxis were also regulated by LTβR signaling. Moreover, we show that activation of the LTβR inhibits the expression of a key adipogenic transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (pparg), suggesting that LTβR signaling may interfere with adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions: Thus, microarray analysis of LTβR-stimulated fibroblasts revealed further insight into the transcriptional response of LTβR signaling and its regulation by the NF-κB family members RelA and RelB. Keywords: cell type comparison (wt vs relA-/- vs relB-/-) after genetic modification using a time course for each cell type (wt, relA-/-, relB-/-) two time points were analysed (0h as control and 10h) using 3 technical replicates resulting in 18 samples in total

Necroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells induces innate lymphoid cell-dependent lethal ileitis in preterm mice

Project description:CFLARs encodes short form of cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein that blocks apoptosis, but promotes necroptosis in vitro. Here, we generate transgenic mice expressing CFLARs on the X-chromosome, designated as XCFY or XCFX mice. All XCFY mice die perinatally due to severe ileitis, whereas XCFX mice appear to be normal and fertile. Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)s of XCFY mice die by necroptosis that subsequently induces massive apoptosis of IECs. Deletion of Ripk3 or Mlkl that are essential for necroptosis rescues embryonic lethality of XCFY mice by preventing both apoptosis and necroptosis of IECs. Surprisingly, deletion of RORγt+ ILC3s or Il22 rescues embryonic lethality of CFLARs Tg mice by preventing apoptosis, but not necroptosis of IECs. Thus, necroptosis of IECs triggered by cFLIPs activates RORγt+ ILC3s, resulting in induction of lethal ileitis in preterm mice.

Metabolite - sensing receptor Ffar2 regulates colonic group 3 innate lymphoid cells and gut immunity

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) sense environmental signals that are critical for gut homeostasis and host defense. However, the metabolite-sensing G-protein-coupled receptors that regulate colonic ILC3s remain poorly understood. We found that colonic ILC3s expressed Ffar2, a microbial metabolite-sensing receptor, and that Ffar2 agonism promoted ILC3 expansion and function. Deletion of Ffar2 in ILC3s decreased their in situ proliferation and ILC3-derived IL-22 production. This led to impaired gut epithelial function characterized by altered mucus-associated proteins and antimicrobial peptides and increased susceptibility to colonic injury and bacterial infection. Ffar2 increased IL-22+ CCR6+ ILC3s and influenced ILC3 abundance in colonic lymphoid tissues. Ffar2 agonism differentially activated AKT or ERK signaling and increased ILC3-derived IL-22 via an AKT and STAT3 axis. Our findings demonstrate that Ffar2 regulates colonic ILC3 proliferation and function in a cell-intrinsic manner and identifies an ILC3-receptor signaling pathway regulating gut inflammatory tone and pathogen defense.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells continuously require the transcription factor GATA3 after commitment

A cis-element at the Rorc locus regulates the development of type 3 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:As an important early source of IL-17A and IL-22 in immune responses, type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are critically regulated by the transcription factor retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt). Previously, we have identified a crucial role of the conserved non-coding sequence 9 (CNS9), located at +5,802 to +7,963 bp of the Rorc gene, in directing T helper 17 differentiation and related autoimmune disease. However, whether cis-acting elements regulate RORγt expression in ILC3s is unknown. Here we show that CNS9 deficiency in mice not only decreases ILC3 signature gene expression and increases ILC1-gene expression features in total ILC3s, but also leads to generation of a distinct CD4+NKp46+ ILC3 population, though the overall numbers and frequencies of RORγt+ ILC3s are not affected. Mechanistically, CNS9 deficiency selectively decreases RORγt expression in ILC3s, which thus alters ILC3 gene expression features and promotes cell-intrinsic generation of CD4+NKp46+ ILC3 subset. Our study thus identifies CNS9 as an essential cis-regulatory element controlling the lineage stability and plasticity of ILC3s through modulating expression levels of RORγt protein.

Regulation of gene expression in IECs by HDAC3

Project description:The development and severity of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and other chronic inflammatory conditions can be influenced by host genetic and environmental factors, including signals derived from commensal bacteria. However, the mechanisms that integrate these diverse cues remain undefined. Here we demonstrate that intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) isolated from IBD patients exhibit decreased expression of the epigenome-modifying enzyme histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). Further, genome-wide analyses of murine IECs that lack HDAC3 (HDAC3?IEC) revealed that HDAC3 deficiency resulted in dysregulated gene expression coupled with alterations in histone acetylation. Critically, conventionally-housed HDAC3?IEC mice demonstrated loss of Paneth cells, impaired IEC function and alterations in the composition of intestinal commensal bacteria. In addition, HDAC3?IEC mice exhibited significantly increased susceptibility to intestinal damage and inflammation, indicating that epithelial expression of HDAC3 plays a central role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Strikingly, rederivation of HDAC3?IEC mice into germ-free conditions revealed that dysregulated IEC gene expression, Paneth cell homeostasis, and intestinal barrier function were largely restored in the absence of commensal bacteria. Collectively, these data indicate that the HDAC3 is a critical factor that integrates commensal bacteria-derived signals to calibrate epithelial cell responses required to establish normal host-commensal relationships and maintain intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we performed gene expression profiling to examine how the transcriptional profiles in primary live, EpCAM+ IECs from the large intestine differed between control HDAC3FF mice (3 biological replicates) and IEC-intrinsic knockout HDAC3?IEC mice (3 biological replicates).

Microarray data from human cultured ILC3s

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes subdivided into ILC1s, ILC2s and ILC3s based on core regulatory programs and signature cytokines secreted. ILCs exhibit functional plasticity: for instance, human IL-22-producing ILC3s convert into IFN-γ-producing ILC1-like in vitro. Whether this conversion occurs in vivo is unclear. Using flow cytometry, mass cytometry and scRNAseq, here we found that ILC3s and ILC1s occupy opposite ends of a spectrum including discrete subsets in human tonsils. RNA velocity suggested strong directionality toward ILC1s for one ILC3-ILC1 intermediate cluster. Clonal analysis revealed graded ability of ILC3-ILC1 subsets to convert into ILC1-like cells. When examined in humanized mice, ILC3 acquisition of ILC1 features showed tissue-dependency. In chromatin studies, Aiolos emerged as a nuclear factor that cooperates with Tbet to repress evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements active in ILC3s. The human intestine also exhibited an ILC3–ILC1 transitional population. We conclude that conversion of ILC3s to ILC1-like occurs in vivo in human tissues, and that tissue factors and Aiolos are crucial for this process.
