Alpha/beta/gamma/delta T cells play a vital role in fetal human skin development and immunity

ABSTRACT: T cells in adult human skin play a pivotal role in the defense against pathogens and tumors. While T cells can also be found in fetal human skin, little is known about their phenotype and function. Using single cell analyses, here we identify an unconventional naive T cell population expressing both alpha/beta and gamma/delta T cell receptors (TCRs) that was markedly enriched within early fetal skin and intestine but was untraceable in other fetal organs and peripheral blood. TCR sequencing data revealed that double-positive (DP) T cells displayed marginal or no overlap of CDR3 sequences with single-positive alpha/beta T cells. Gene signature, cytokine profile and in silico receptor-ligand interaction studies indicated that DP T cells contribute to skin development early in life. Finally, DP T cells were phosphoantigen-responsive suggesting that these cells participate in the protection of the fetus against pathogens in case of intrauterine infections. Together, our analyses unveil a unique and hitherto unrecognized cutaneous T cell type within the native skin microenvironment and point to fundamental differences in the adaptive immune surveillance of developing and adult human skin.

RNA-Seq of human fetal and adult scalp hair follicle dermal papilla (DP), dermal sheath cup (DSC), and interfollicular dermal (IFD) cells

Project description:Much is still unknown about the molecular regulatory networks which govern the dermal papilla’s (DP) ability to induce hair follicle regeneration, a capacity which gradually decreases with age. DP and dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells from mature, anagen phase, hair follicles were manually microdissected from fresh frozen sections of 16-18 week human fetal scalp and 30-60 year old adult male scalp. Interfollicular dermal (IFD) fibroblasts were harvested for comparison. RNA-seq libraries from each cell population were prepared with Nugen’s Ovation RNA-Seq and Ultralow Library systems, sequenced to approximately 100 million total reads. A set of 121 genes was identified as significantly upregulated in fetal DP cells, as compared to both fetal DSC and IFD populations. Wnt/β-catenin, Shh, FGF, BMP, and Notch signaling pathways were significantly enriched among those genes differentially expressed between fetal and adult DP cells. Among them, Spondin-1, a Wnt agonist, was chosen for verification and can rescue hair follicle regeneration in skin reconstitution assays using cells from adult mice. Additionally, twenty-nine transcription factors were significantly upregulated in fetal DP compared to adult DP cells. Of those, seven transcription factor binding motifs were significantly enriched in the candidate promoter regions of differentially expressed genes between fetal and adult DP cells, suggesting a combinatorial regulatory role in the fetal DP phenotype. Further investigation into these regulators is warranted to determine if these proteins and/or associated pathways plays a role in the maintenance or modulation of DP cells to induce hair regeneration.

Characterization of tumor-infiltrating T cells by TCR-β repertoire analyses

Project description:Local administration of IFN-α-producing proliferating myeloid cells (IFN-α-iPSC-pMCs) inhibited the tumor growth not only at the treatment site but also at the distant site (left). T cell receptor (TCR)-β chain repertoire and complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) gene sequence analyses of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) showed marked enrichment of T cells with identical TCR-β chains in bilateral tumor tissues.

Sox2 ablation in the DP alters its gene expression signature

Project description:Using Tbx18Cre to target embryonic DP precursors, we ablate Sox2 early and efficiently, resulting in diminished hair shaft outgrowth. Transcriptional profiling of Sox2 null DPs reveals increased Bmp6 and decreased Bmp inhibitor Sostdc1, a direct Sox2 transcriptional target. FACS sort to isolate Sox2GFP/Integrin-alpha 9 double-positive DP cells from Sox2 HET and cKO P5 skin for transcriptional profiling

Microarray analysis of IFN-response

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN-α/β) is the first line of defense against viral infection. Mouse models have been pivotal to our understanding of IFN-α/β in immunity, although validation of these findings in humans has not been possible. We investigated a previously healthy child with fatal susceptibility to the live-attenuated measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. By targeted resequencing we identified a homozygous mutation in the high-affinity interferon-α/β receptor (IFNAR2), which rendered cells unresponsive to IFN-α/β and led to unrestricted replication of IFN-attenuated viruses. Reconstitution of patient cells with wild-type IFNAR2 restored IFN-α/β responsiveness and viral resistance. Despite the failure to control vaccine viruses, the patient showed no evidence of susceptibility to conventional viral pathogens in vivo and adaptive immunity appeared normal. Human IFNAR2 deficiency therefore reveals an essential role for IFN-α/β in resistance to attenuated viruses, but significant and unexpected redundancy overall in antiviral immunity. Total RNA isolated from IFNAR2-deficient patient (in triplicate) and control (three independent control lines) fibroblasts treated with IFNalpha, IFNbeta or IFNgamma (1000 IU/mL) for 10h

Upregulation of BTN3A1 on CD14+ cells promotes Vγ9Vδ2 T cells activation in psoriasis vulgaris

Project description:Vγ9Vδ2 T cells play an important role in the development and progression of psoriasis vulgaris (PV), but how they promote skin inflammation and the molecular mechanisms underlying Vγ9Vδ2 T cell dysfunction are poorly understood. Here, we show that circulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are decreased and exhibit enhanced proliferation and increased production of IFN-γ and TNF-α in PV patients. Monocytes from PV patients express higher levels of the phosphoantigen sensor butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1) than monocytes from healthy controls. Blockade of BTN3A1 suppresses Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and abolishes the difference in Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation between PV patients and healthy controls. The CD14+ cells in PV skin lesions highly express BTN3A1 and juxtapose to Vδ2 T cells. In addition, IFN-γ induces the up-regulation of BTN3A1 on monocytes. Collectively, our results demonstrate a crucial role of BTN3A1 on monocytes in regulating Vγ9Vδ2 T cell activation and highlight BTN3A1 as a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.

Notch signaling is required for induction of an innate T cell development program in human thymus

Project description:CD4 CD8 double positive (DP) thymocytes progressively shut down Notch signaling after β-selection allowing progression of the DP program and positive selection of conventional CD4 and CD8 single positive T cells. In contrast, innate CD8+ T cells are selected from DP precursors shortly after β-selection. Here, we investigated whether notch signaling is required for the initiation of the innate T cell developmental program upon TCR engagement. We show that, after β-selection, Notch activation limits progression to late DP cells and favors the development of TCRαβ/CD3 expressing CD8dim early DP progenitors. TCR engagement in these Notch dependent TCRαβ+ early DP precursors does not induce prominent apoptosis, but rather induces T-bet expression by an mTOR-dependent mechanism. Our findings indicate that Notch signaling drives the launch of an innate effector program in response to TCR agonist selection in the thymus.

Deciphering Pancreatic Islet β Cell and α Cell Maturation Pathways and Characteristic Features at the Single-Cell Level

Project description:Pancreatic β and α cells play essential roles in maintaining glucose homeostasis. However, the mechanisms by which these distinct cell populations are generated, expand, and mature during pancreas development remain unclear. In this study, we addressed this critical question by performing a single-cell transcriptomic analysis of mouse β and α cells sorted from fetal to adult stages. We discovered that β and α cells use different regulatory strategies for their maturation and that cell proliferation peaks at different developmental times. However, the quiescent and proliferative cells in both the β lineage and α lineage are synchronous in their maturation states. The heterogeneity of juvenile β cells reflects distinct cell-cycling phases, origins, and maturation states, whereas adult β cells are relatively homogeneous at the transcriptomic level. These analyses provide not only a high-resolution roadmap for islet lineage development but also insights into the mechanisms of cellular heterogeneity, cell number expansion, and maturation of both β and α cells.
