Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of IL-10 production on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes.

ABSTRACT: ILC2s are the dominant innate lymphoid cell population in the lungs at steady state and their release of type-2 cytokines is a central driver in responding eosinophil infiltration and increased airway hyperreactivity (AHR). For the first time, our laboratory has identified a unique subset of ILC2s in the lungs that produces and secretes IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, upon stimulation with IL-4. Overall this study introduces a novel, IL-4-inducible IL-10-producing population of ILC210s in the lung are naturally present in a high Th2 model of murine asthma. This research introduces a novel, cell-based immunotherapeutic potential of ILC210s that can be modulated by the signlaing transcription factors Blimp-1 and cMAF, as well as by glucose availability, opening new avenues for the treatment of ILC2-dependent airway inflammation.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the implication of LAIR-1 in sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central players in type-2 asthma. They initiate eosinophil infiltration and airway hyperreactivity (AHR) through cytokine secretion. Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory receptor considered as immune checkpoint in different inflammatory diseases. Here we assessed the role of LAIR-1 in murine ILC2s. WT and LAIR-1 KO mice were intranasally challenged with IL-33 and pulmonary ILC2s were sorted to perform RNA sequencing. Our results unravel a novel regulatory axis in ILC2s with the capacity to reduce their activation.

Study of the role of c-Maf in type 2 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are involved in type 2 inflammatory diseases such as allergy. In response to repeated allergen inhalations, lung epithelial cells secrete innate cytokines that activate ILC2s to release interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) resulting in eosinophil infiltration, mucus hyper-production, and airway hyperreactivity. Beside GATA3, very little is known about the role of specific transcription factors in the regulation of ILC2’s function. Here we identify c-Maf as a crucial regulator of ILC2 function and identity. c-Maf deficient ILC2s are impaired in IL-5 and IL-13 production and eosinophil recruitment. Transcriptomic analysis underlined a reduced expression of genes associated with Th2/ILC2 identity and memory development that we confirmed both in mice and human, either in ILC2s engineered to express less c-Maf or in naturally c-Maflow ILC2s from cord blood. Our results indicate that c-Maf is a core node that connects immature to primed/trained ILC2s.

Iron controls the development of airway hyperreactivity by regulating ILC2 metabolism and effector function

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) rapidly induce a type 2 inflammation in the lungs in response to allergens. Here, we focused on the role of iron – a critical nutritional trace element – on ILC2 function and asthma pathogenesis. In the lungs, transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is rapidly upregulated and functional during ILC2 activation, while blocking transferrin uptake reduces ILC2 expansion and activation. Iron deprivation reprograms ILC2 metabolism, inducing a HIF-1a-driven upregulation of glycolysis and inhibition of oxidative mitochondrial activity. Consequently, in vivo iron chelation or induction of hypoferremia notably reduces the development of airway hyperreactivity in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s rapidly induce TfR1 during activation, while iron deprivation reduces effector functions. Finally, we found a negative relation between circulating ILC2 TfR1 expression and airway function in cohorts of patients with asthma. Collectively, our studies define cellular iron as a critical regulator of ILC2 function.

Blocking CD226 regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.

Gene expression data of naïve wildtype and IL-33 knockout ILC2s isolated from adult male mouse lungs

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in mouse lungs are activated by the epithelium-derived alarmin IL-33. Activated ILC2s proliferate and produce IL-5 and IL-13 that drive allergic responses. In neonatal lungs, IL-33 is spontaneously released resulting in activation of lung ILC2s. Here we report that neonatal lung ILC2 activation has significant effects on ILC2 functions in adulthood. Most neonatal lung ILC2s incorporated bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and persisted into adulthood. BrdU+ ILC2s in adult lungs responded more intensely to IL-33 treatment than BrdU- ILC2s. In IL-33 deficient (KO) mice, lung ILC2s develop normally but they are not activated in the neonatal period. Lung ILC2s in KO mice responded less intensely to IL-33 in adulthood compared to wild type (WT) ILC2s. While there was no difference in the number of lung ILC2s, there were fewer IL-13+ ILC2s in IL-33KO than IL-33WT mice. The impaired responsiveness of ILC2s in KO mice was reversed by intranasal injections of IL-33 in the neonatal period. These results suggest that activation of lung ILC2s by endogenous IL-33 in the neonatal period may “train” ILC2s seeding the lung after birth to become long-lasting resident cells that respond more efficiently to challenges later in life.

Brainstem Dbh+ Neurons Control Chronic Allergen-Induced Airway Hyperreactivity

Project description:Exaggerated airway constriction triggered by exposure to irritants such as allergen, also called hyperreactivity, is a hallmark of asthma and can be life-threatening. Aside from immune cells, vagal sensory neurons are important for airway hyperreactivity 1-4. However, the identity and signature of the downstream nodes of this adaptive circuit remains poorly understood. Here we show that Dbh+ neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS) of the brainstem, and downstream neurons in the nucleus ambiguus (NA), are both necessary and sufficient for chronic allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity. We found that repeated exposures of mice to inhaled allergen activates nTS neurons in a mast cell-, interleukin 4 (IL-4)- and vagal nerve-dependent manner. Single-nucleus RNA-seq followed by RNAscope quantification of the nTS at baseline and following allergen challenges reveals that a Dbh+ population is preferentially activated. Ablation or chemogenetic inactivation of Dbh+ nTS neurons blunted, while chemogenetic activation promoted hyperreactivity. Viral tracing indicates that Dbh+ nTS neurons, capable of producing norepinephrine, project to the NA, and NA neurons are necessary and sufficient to relay allergen signals to postganglionic neurons that then directly drive airway constriction. Focusing on transmitters, delivery of norepinephrine antagonists to the NA blunted allergen-induced hyperreactivity. Together, these findings provide molecular, anatomical and functional definitions of key nodes of a canonical allergen response circuit. The knowledge opens the possibility of targeting neural modulation as an approach to control allergen-induced airway constriction.
