Transcriptome of Chat positive and negative ILC2s

ABSTRACT: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) reside in multiple tissues including lymphoid organs and barrier surfaces, and secrete type 2 cytokines including interleukin (IL)-5, IL-9 and IL-13. These cells participate in multiple physiological processes including allergic inflammation, tissue repair, metabolic homeostasis and host defense against helminth infections. Recent studies indicate that neuropeptides can play an important role in regulating ILC2 responses, however, the mechanisms that underlie these processes in vivo remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify that activated ILC2s upregulate choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)—the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of acetylcholine (ACh)—following infection with the helminth parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis or treatment with alarmins or cytokines including IL-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). ILC2s also express acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), and ACh administration promotes ILC2 cytokine production and elicits expulsion of helminth infection. In accordance with this, ChAT deficiency in ILC2s leads to defective ILC2 responses and impaired immunity against helminth infection. Together, these results reveal a previously unrecognized role of the ChAT-ACh pathway in promoting type 2 innate immunity to helminth infection.

Transcription factor Bcl11b controls identity and function of mature innate lymphoid cells type II

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote anti-helminth responses and contribute to allergies. Though Bcl11b has been previously considered a T-lineage identity transcription factor (TF) that restrains the innate-cell genetic programs, we report here that Bcl11b is highly expressed in mature ILC2s and acts upstream of the key ILC2 TFs Gfi1, Gata-3, and of IL-33 receptor IL1rl1 (T1ST2). Additionally, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s de-repressed Rorγt, Ahr and IL-23 receptor, normally expressed in type-3 ILCs (ILC3s). Consequently, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s lost ILC2 functions and gained ILC3 functions, expanding in response to the protease allergen papain, however producing IL-17 and IL-22, and not IL-5 and IL-13, causing lung neutrophilia rather than eosinophilia, and diminished mucus production. Our results broaden Bcl11b's role from a T-cell only TF, and establishes that Bcl11b sustains mature ILC2 genetic and functional programs and lineage fidelity through positive regulation of essential ILC2 TFs and negative regulation of pivotal ILC3 TFs.

Specification of innate type-2 lymphocytes by the transcriptional determinant Gfi1

Project description:Innate type-2 lymphoid cells (ILC2s) function in immune responses against helminth parasites and are implicated in allergic inflammation and asthma. ILC2s are activated by the epithelial-derived cytokines IL-33 and IL-25 and are major sources of the type-2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13. We show that the transcription factor Gfi1 promotes the generation of ILC2s and controls their responsiveness during Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection as well as IL-33- or IL-25-instigated inflammation. Gfi1 directly activates Il1rl1, which encodes the IL-33 receptor. IL- 33 signaling upregulates Gfi1, thereby constituting a positive feedback loop that enables rapid and robust expansion of ILC2s in response to IL-33 signaling. Loss of Gfi1 in activated ILC2s results in an unusual effector state involving derepression of the IL-17 inflammatory program and co-expression of IL-13 with IL-17. ChIPseq reveals key Gfi1 targeted genes that are activated or repressed to maintain ILC2 identity. We propose that Gfi1 functions as a shared determinant within innate and adaptive immune cells to specify type-2 responses, while actively repressing the IL-17 effector state. ILC2s (~3 x 10^7 cells) were sorted from the MLN of IL-25-treated mice. Chromatin fragments bound by Gfi1 were subject to ChIP using Gfi1 antibodies and followed by high-throughput sequencing.

ILC2s navigate tissue redistribution during infection using stage-specific S1P receptors

Project description:Lymphocytes can circulate as well as take residence within tissues. The mechanisms by which circulating populations are recruited to infected tissue sites have been characterized, but the extent and molecular basis of tissue-resident cell recirculation is enigmatic. Here, we show that helminth infection- or IL-25-induced redistribution of intestinal tissue-localized group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) requires access to the lymphatic vessel network even though secondary lymphoid structures, which are essential signal hubs for adaptive lymphocyte differentiation and dispatch, are dispensable for tissue ILC2 mobilization. IL-25 signals induce a dramatic change in epigenetic landscape of intestinal ILC2s, enabling the expression of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors. S1PR5 is critical for ILC2 exit from intestinal tissue to lymph, whereas S1PR1 plays a dominant role in ILC2 egress from mesenteric lymph nodes to blood circulation and then to lung, where redistributed ILC2s contribute to tissue repair. The requirement of two S1PRs is largely due to the dynamic expression of the tissue-retention marker CD69, which mediates S1PR1 internalization. This stage-specific requirement of different S1P receptors for ILC2 redistribution during infection illustrates that innate and adaptive lymphocytes share a circulatory network frame but employ specialized navigation cues for their distinct migratory requirements.

CRISPR-Cas screen in ILC2 identifies Mef2d as a regulator of GATA3 and type-2 immunity [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) orchestrate tissue homeostasis, allergic disorders and anti-helminth protective immunity through their production of cytokines. However, their rarity has hampered high-throughput genetic screening approaches to uncover novel ILC2 regulators in an unbiased manner. We combined expansion of progenitors from multi-reporter mouse strains with optimised ILC differentiation cultures to perform CRISPR-Cas9 screens for regulators of ILC2 development and function. Mef2d emerged as a critical regulator of GATA3 and IL-13, and was essential for type-2 immunity as demonstrated by conditional Mef2d-deficient mice, including a Boolean-ILC2-Cre (BIC) mouse strain developed to enable ILC2-specific gene deletion. Mechanistically, Mef2d bound and transcriptionally repressed the Zc3h12a locus encoding the endonuclease Regnase-1, a negative regulator of IL-33 receptor (ST2) and GATA3 expression, thereby promoting IL-33-mediated ILC2 proliferation and cytokine production. Notably, in ILC2s Mef2d also acted downstream of leukotriene C4-induced calcium-mediated signalling to translocate NFAT1 to the nucleus to promote type-2 gene transcription. These Mef2d-mediated pathways converge and feedback to potentiate type-2 immunity.

Expression data from naive, effector and memory-like ILC2s isolated from mouse lungs and those from effector and memory-like ILC2s isolated from mediastinal lymph node

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lung are stimulated by inhaled allergens. ILC2s do not directly recognize allergens but they are stimulated by cytokines including interleukin (IL)-33 released by damaged epithelium.Lung ILC2s, upon stimulation, produce T helper 2 cell-type cytokines inducing T cell independent allergic lung inflammation. We now report that lung ILC2s, upon activation by an allergen or IL-33, acquire the properties of memory cells. The activated ILC2s initially proliferate and secrete cytokines, followed by a contraction phase as they stop producing cytokines. Nevertheless, some persist long after the resolution of the inflammation and acquire intrinsic capacities to react to unrelated allergens more vigorously than naÃ¯ve ILC2s, thus mediating a severe allergic lung inflammation. Gene expression profiles of the previously activated ILC2s show a gene signature of memory T cells. These antigen non-specific memory ILC2s may explain why asthma patients are often sensitized to multiple allergens. ILC2s were isolated from mouse lungs from naive and IL-33 injected mice 4 days, 14 days and 4 months after the initial treatment. RNA was extracted from those ILC2 populations and analyzed for gene expression profiles. RNA was also extracted from ILC2s isolated from lung draining mediastinal lymph node (mLN) 4 days and 14 days after IL-33 treatment.
