Project description:We use bulk RNA sequencing of sorted cells to characterize the gene expression profiles of splenic TOM+ cDC2 and TOM- DC2 from 1 week-old mice as well and of TOM+ cDC2 from adult mice. We aim to reveal transcriptional differences based on ontogeny and developmental age. Sequencing results revealed that the developmental age rather than cell origin is a major determinantof the transcriptomic differences observed between young and adult cDC2.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) form a collection of antigen-presenting cells that are distributed throughout the body. Conventional DC (cDC) which include the cDC1 and cDC2 subsets, and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) constitute the two major ontogenically distinct DC populations. The pDC complete their differentiation in bone-marrow (BM) while the cDC subsets derive from pre-committed bone-marrow (BM) precursors, the pre-cDC, that seed lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues where they further differentiate into mature cDC1 and cDC2. Within different tissues, cDC express distinct phenotype and function. Notably cDC in the thymus are exquisitely efficient at processing and presenting antigens in the class II pathway, while in the spleen they do so only upon maturation induced by danger signals. To appraise this functional heterogeneity, we examined the regulation of the expression of distinct antigen-processing enzymes during DC ontogeny. We analyzed the expression of cathepsin S (CTSS), cathepsin L (CTSL) and thymus specific serine protease (TSSP), three major antigen-processing enzymes regulating class II presentation in cDC, by DC BM precursors and immature and mature cDC from spleen and thymus. We found that pre-cDC in the BM express relatively high levels of these different proteases. Then, their expression is modulated in a tissue-specific and subset–specific manner with immature and mature thymic cDC expressing overall higher levels than immature splenic cDC. On the other hand, TSSP expression level is selectively down-regulated in spleen pDC while CTSS and CTSL are both increased in thymic and splenic pDC. Hence tissue-specific factors program the expression levels of these different proteases during DC differentiation thus conferring tissue-specific function to the different DC subsets.

Project description:High-dimensional approaches have revealed emerging heterogeneity within dendritic cells (DC), including a population of transitional DC (tDC) present in mouse and human. However, tDC origin and relationship to other DC subsets are not fully understood because their phenotype partially overlaps with previous definitions of conventional DC precursors (pre-cDC). Here, we show that tDC are distinct from other well-characterized DC and pre-cDC. By combining single-cell transcriptomics, high-dimensional immunophenotyping, lineage tracing and adoptive transfer experiments, we demonstrate that murine tDC originate from bone marrow progenitors shared with plasmacytoid DC (pDC) that are distinct from CD115-expressing conventional DC progenitors. In the periphery, tDC contribute to the pool of Esam+ type 2 DC (DC2), and these tDC-derived DC2 harbor pDC-related developmental features. tDC have lower turnover than pre-cDC2, capture antigen, respond to stimuli, and potently antigen-specific naïve T cells, all characteristics of differentiated DC. Different from pDC, viral sensing by tDC results in IL-1β secretion and fatal immune pathology in a model of murine coronavirus. Our findings suggest that tDC are a distinct pDC-related lineage with a DC2 differentiation potential and unique pro-inflammatory function during viral infections. The objective of this experiment was to evaulate the transcriptional changes in various dendritic cell subpopulations

Project description:We use bulk RNA sequencing of sorted cells to characterize the gene expression profiles of renal dendritic cell (DC) subsets, cDC1 and cDC2, as well as MHCII+CD64+ F4/80hi and MHCII+CD64+ CD11bhi cells. Splenic DCs and red pulp macrophages serve as reference populations for a macrophage-like or DC-like phenotype. By sorting YFP+/YFP- F4/80hi or YFP+/YFP- CD11bhi cells from Clec9a-Cre Rosa-YFP mice we aim to reveal transcriptional differences between YFP-labelled and unlabelled cells. We showed that F4/80hi cells resemble macrophages on a transcriptional level, despite their DC origin, and that renal CD11bhi cells are a transcriptionally unique subset. However, we were not able to reveal differences between YFP+ and YFP- populations.

Project description:The spleen contains phenotypically and functionally distinct cDC1 and cDC2 subpopulations, which each can be divided into several smaller and less-well characterized subsets. Despite advances in understanding the complexity of DC ontogeny and function by transcriptional programming, the significance of post-translational modifications in controlling tissue-specific cDC (subset) immunobiology remains elusive. Here, we identified the cell surface-expressed A-disintegrin-and-metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) as an essential regulator of cDC1 and cDC2 homeostasis in the splenic marginal zone (MZ). Mice with a CD11c-specific deletion of ADAM10 (ADAM10ΔCD11c) exhibited a complete loss of splenic ESAMhi cDC2A, because ADAM10 controlled their commitment, differentiation, survival, and EBI2-mediated localization within the MZ. Moreover, we discovered that ADAM10 is a molecular switch regulating cDC2 subset heterogeneity in the spleen, as this unbalanced cDC2A homeostasis in the absence of ADAM10 was compensated for by the emergence of a novel Clec12a+ cDC2B subset, closely resembling cDC2 generally found in peripheral lymph nodes. Moreover, in ADAM10ΔCD11c mice terminal differentiation of cDC1 was abrogated, resulting in reduced numbers of Langerin+ cDC1.

Project description:Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are traditionally subdivided into cDC1 and cDC2 lineages. Batf3 is a cDC1-required transcription factor, and we observed that Batf3-/- mice harbor a population of cDC1-like cells co-expressing cDC2-associated surface molecules. Using single cell RNA sequencing with integrated cell surface protein expression (CITE-seq), we found that Batf3-/- mitotic immature cDC1-like cells showed reduced expression of cDC1 features and increased levels of cDC2 features. In wildtype, we also observed a proportion of mature cDC1 cells expressing surface features characteristic to cDC2, and found that overall cDC cell state heterogeneity was mainly driven by developmental stage, proliferation and maturity. We detected population diversity within Sirpa+ cDC2 cells, including a Cd33+ cell state expressing high levels of Sox4 and lineage-mixed features characteristic to cDC1, cDC2, pDCs and monocytes. In conclusion, these data suggest that multiple cDC cell states can co-express lineage-overlapping features, revealing a level of previously unappreciated cDC plasticity.

Project description:To determine if the residual cDC subsets in the Δ1+2+3 and Δ32 mice reflected their normal counterparts, we performed bulk RNA-sequencing analysis of cDC1 and cDC2 from WT, Δ1+2+3 and Δ32 mice. cDC1 from WT and Δ1+2+3 clustered together in principal component analysis (PCA) plot, whereas cDC2 from WT and Δ32 mice cluster together. Further, cDC1 and cDC2 from WT mice show a large number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), as expected. However, there were few DEGs in cDC1 between WT and Δ1+2+3 mice, or in cDC2 between WT and Δ32 mice, indicating no substantive transcriptional differences between corresponding cDC subsets in WT, Δ32 and Δ1+2+3 mice.

Project description:The lymphatic vascular system plays an active role in immune cell trafficking, inflammation and cancer spread. In order to provide an in vivo tool to improve our understanding of lymphatic vessel function in physiological and pathological conditions, we generated and characterized a tdTomato reporter mouse and crossed it with a mouse line expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the lymphatic specific promoter Prox1 in an inducible fashion. We found that the tdTomato fluorescent signal recapitulates the expression pattern of Prox1 in lymphatic vessels and other known Prox1-expressing organs. Importantly, tdTomato co-localized with the lymphatic markers Prox1, LYVE-1 and podoplanin as assessed by whole-mount immunofluorescence and FACS analysis. The tdTomato reporter was brighter than a previously established red fluorescent reporter line. We confirmed the applicability of this animal model to intravital microscopy of dendritic cell migration into and within lymphatic vessels, and to fluorescence-activated single cell analysis of lymphatic endothelial cells. Additionally, we were able to describe the early morphological changes of the lymphatic vasculature upon induction of skin inflammation. The Prox1-Cre-tdTomato reporter mouse thus shows great potential for lymphatic research.
