TIPE2 is a checkpoint in natural killer cell maturation and anti-tumor immunity

ABSTRACT: The maturation process determines NK cell functionality. We verified that tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein-8 like-2 (TIPE2) works as a potent negative regulator in NK cell maturation. We found that TIPE2 expression gradually increased during NK cell ontogenesis correlating to their maturation stages in mice. NK-specific TIPE2 deficiency resulted in increased number of mature NK cells. To further confirm the role of TIPE2 in NK cell maturation, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing. Based on the key gene expression of NK cell effector molecules, transcriptional factors, maturation markers, and proliferation marker, we identified NK cell maturation program as Cluster#1->Cluster#2->Cluster#0 by which immature NK cells should go through to gain optimal effector functions at the cost of proliferation ability. According to this model, NK-specific TIPE2 deficient mice contained more NK cells belonging to the terminally mature Cluster#0 than control mice (up to 10% more), which is consistent with what we observed by flow cytometry. Therefore, these results collectively showed that NK-specific TIPE2 deficiency promotes NK cell maturation.

Bach2 negatively regulates natural killer cell maturation and effector program

Project description:Bach2 has been reported to regulate multiple immune cell development and function. Here we report that Bach2 is constitutively expressed in relatively immature NK subsets. Bach2 negatively regulates NK cell development and Bach2 deficiency results in NK cell with mature effector phenotype. Thus, Bach2 functions as a negative regulator of NK cell maturation and function.

Novel non-canonical role of STAT1 in Natural Killer cell cytotoxicity

Project description:STAT1 is an important regulator of NK cell maturation and cytotoxicity. Although the consequences of Stat1-deficiency have been described in detail the underlying molecular functions of STAT1 in NK cells are only partially understood. Here we describe a novel non-canonical role of STAT1 that was unmasked in NK cells expressing Stat1-Y701F. This mutation prevents JAK-dependent phosphorylation, subsequent nuclear translocation and cytokine-induced transcriptional activity. As expected Stat1-Y701F mice displayed impaired NK cell maturation comparable to Stat1-/- animals. In contrast Stat1-Y701F NK cells exerted a significantly enhanced cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo suggesting a so-far unknown cytoplasmic function. Using immunofluorescence technology we uncovered the recruitment of STAT1 to the immunological synapse during NK cell killing. A Stat1ind mouse expressing FLAG-tagged STAT1α was used to study the STAT1α interactome in NK cells. Mass spectrometry revealed that STAT1 directly binds proteins involved in cell junction formation and proteins associated to membrane or membrane-bound vesicles. We propose a novel function for STAT1 in the immunological synapse of NK cells regulating tumor surveillance and cytotoxicity.

Transcriptome of mouse splenic NK cells with MYC deficiency

Project description:To understand the mechanism of the defective NK cell functions with MYC deficiency, we isolated splenic NK cells (CD3-NK1.1+CD49b+) from Mycf/f and MycΔ/Δ/Ncr1Cre mice and performed RNA-seq analysis. It revealed that ribosome and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity were the two most enriched pathways in the differentially down-regulated genes. Functional studies showed reduced synthesis of NK cell effector molecules in the NK Cells with MYC deficiency. Collectively, these data suggest impaired ribosomal biogenesis and reduced synthesis of cytotoxic molecule in the NK cells with MYC deficiency.

MicroRNA-15/16 Antagonizes c-Myb to Control Natural Killer Cell Maturation

Project description:NK cells develop in the bone marrow and complete their maturation in peripheral organs, but the molecular events controlling maturation are incompletely understood. Utilizing an NK cell-specific miR-15/16 deficient genetic model (15aKO), we identified a critical role for miR-15/16 family microRNAs in the normal maturation of NK cells in vivo, with a specific reduction in mature CD11b+CD27- NK cells in multiple tissues. The mechanism responsible was a block in differentiation, since accelerated NK cell death was not evident, and earlier intermediates of NK cell maturation were expanded. Further, we identified Myb as a direct target of miR-15/16 in NK cells, with Myb expression increased in immature 15aKO NK cells. Following adoptive transfer, immature 15aKO NK cells exhibited defective maturation, which was rescued by ectopic miR-15/16 expression or Myb knockdown. Moreover, Myb overexpression resulted in defective NK cell maturation. Thus, miR-15/16 regulation of Myb controls the normal NK cell maturation program. 3 technical replicates each of CD27+ 15a/16-1FKO NK cells, and CD27+ Ctrl NK cells

Tissue determinants of human NK cell development, function and residence

Project description:Immune responses in diverse tissue sites are critical for protective immunity and homeostasis. Here, we investigated how tissue localization regulates the development and function of human Natural Killer (NK) cells, an innate lymphocyte important for anti-viral and tumor immunity. Integrating high dimensional analysis of NK cells from blood, lymphoid organs and mucosal tissue sites from 48 individuals, we identify tissue-specific patterns of NK cell subset distribution, maturation and function across age and genetic diversity. Mature and terminally differentiated NK cells with enhanced effector function predominate in blood, bone marrow, spleen and lungs, exhibiting shared transcriptional programs across sites. By contrast, precursor and immature NK cells with reduced effector capacity prevail in lymph nodes and intestines, exhibiting tissue resident signatures and site-specific adaptations. Together, our results reveal anatomic control of NK cell development and maintenance as tissue resident populations, while mature, terminally differentiated subsets mediate immunosurveillance through diverse peripheral sites.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of mouse natural killer cells isolated from the bone marrow

Project description:A large gap in our understanding of infant immunity is why natural killer (NK) cell responses are deficient, which makes infants more prone to viral infection. Here we demonstrate that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) was responsible for NK cell immaturity during infancy. We found more fully mature NK cells in CD11cdnR mice, whose NK cells lack TGF-beta receptor (TGF-beta R) signaling. Ontogenic maturation of NK cells progressed faster in the absence of TGF-beta signaling, which results in the formation of a mature NK cell pool early in life. As a consequence, infant CD11cdnR mice efficiently controlled viral infections. These data thus demonstrate an unprecedented role for TGF-beta in ontogeny that can explain why NK cell responses are deficient early in life.

Sex differences in NK cells mediated by the X-linked epigenetic regulator UTX

Project description:Sexually dimorphic immune responses are evident by increased susceptibility of males to viral infections. Interestingly, our results indicate that while males possess more natural killer (NK) cells, they display impaired effector function. These differences are attributed to lower male expression of X-linked UTX, an epigenetic regulator which escapes X-inactivation in females. NK cell-specific heterozygous deletion of UTX in females recapitulated male NK cell phenotypes of increased NK cells and defective effector function. Notably, mice with NK cell-intrinsic UTX deficiency show increased lethality to mouse cytomegalovirus. Integrative UTX CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis revealed a critical role for UTX in regulating the chromatin landscape and expression at gene loci involved in NK cell homeostasis and effector function. Collectively, these data implicate UTX as a molecular determinant of sex differences in NK cell homeostasis and effector function and suggest enhancing UTX as a strategy to boost endogenous NK effector responses.
