Conventional NK cells and ILC1s do not influence pathogenesis of experimental glomerulonephritis

ABSTRACT: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that express NK cell receptors (NCRs) and the transcription factor T-bet populate non-lymphoid tissues and are crucial in immune responses against viral infections and malignancies. Recent studies highlighted the heterogeneity of this ILC population and extended their functional spectrum to include important roles in tissue homeostasis and autoimmunity. Here, we provide detailed profiling of NCR+T-bet+ ILC populations in the murine kidney, identifying conventional NK (cNK) cells and type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) as the two major subsets. Induction of renal inflammation in a mouse model of glomerulonephritis did not substantially influence abundance or phenotype of cNK cells or ILC1s in the kidney. For functional analyses in this model, widely used depletion strategies for total NCR+ ILCs (αNK1.1 antibody application) and cNK cells (α-asGM1 serum application) were unreliable tools, since they were accompanied by significant off-target depletion of kidney NKT cells and CD8+ T cells, respectively. However, neither depletion of cNK cells and ILC1s in NKT cell-deficient mice, nor specific genetic deletion of cNK cells in Ncr1Cre/wt x Eomesfl/fl mice altered the clinical course of experimental glomerulonephritis. In summary, we show here that cNK cells and ILC1s are dispensable for initiation and progression of immune-mediated glomerular disease and advise caution in the use of standard antibody depletion methods to study NCR+ ILC function in mouse models.

Transcriptional profiles of human circulating innate lymphoid cells and CD4 T helper cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are part of the innate immune cell family. Three different subsets of ILCs, ILC1s, ILC2s and ILCPs can be identified in human peripheral blood. Based on their expression of transcription factors and cytokines, they are considered as being the innate counterparts of CD4 T helper subsets, namely Th1s, Th2s and Th17s. However, ILCs and Th cells have different roles in immunity. Therefore, we compared the transcriptomes of sorted ILC1s, ILC2s, ILCPs, Th1s, Th2s and Th17s from the peripheral blood of three different donors. RNA sequencing of ILC and Th subsets revealed differences in the expression of tens to hundreds of genes. These genes are involved in cell trafficking, innate activation and inhibitory functions. ILC and Th cell subsets also differ in their expressions of long-non coding RNAs.

Embryonic and neonatal waves generate distinct populations of hepatic ILC1s

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprising circulating natural killer (cNK) cells and tissue-resident ILC1s are critical for host defense against pathogens and tumors. Despite a growing understanding of their role in homeostasis and disease, the ontogeny of group 1 ILCs remains largely unknown. Here, we used fate mapping and single-cell transcriptomics to comprehensively investigate the origin and turnover of group 1 ILCs. While cNK cells are continuously replaced throughout life, we uncovered tissue-dependent development and turnover of ILC1s. A first wave of ILC1s emerges during embryogenesis in the liver and transiently colonizes fetal tissues. After birth, a second wave quickly replaces ILC1s in most tissues apart from the liver, where they layer with embryonic ILC1s and persist until adulthood undergoing a unique developmental program. While embryonically-derived ILC1s give rise to a cytotoxic subset, the neonatal wave establishes a helper-like subset. Our findings uncover key ontogenic features of group 1 ILCs and their association with unique cellular identities and functions.

Prdm1 Positively Regulates Liver Group 1 ILCs Cancer Immune Surveillance and Preserves Functional Heterogeneity

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise conventional natural killer (cNK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). The main functions of liver cNK cells and ILC1s not only include directly killing target cells but also regulating local immune microenvironment of the liver through the secretion of cytokines. Uncovering the intricate mechanisms by which transcriptional factors regulate and influence the functions of liver cNK cells and ILC1s, particularly within the context of liver tumors, presents a significant opportunity to amplify the effectiveness of immunotherapies against liver malignancies. Using Ncr1-drived conditional knockout mouse model, our study reveals the regulatory role of Prdm1 in shaping the composition and maturation of cNK cells. Although Prdm1 did not affect the killing function of cNK cells in an in vivo cytotoxicity model, a significant increase in cancer metastasis was observed in Prdm1 knockout mice. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), granzyme B, and perforin secretion decreased significantly in Prdm1 deficient cNK cells and liver ILC1s. scRNA sequencing data also provided evidences that Prdm1 maintains functional subsets of cNK cells and liver ILC1s and facilitates communications between cNK cells, liver ILC1s and macrophages. The present study unveiled a novel regulatory mechanism of Prdm1 in cNK cells and liver ILC1s, showing promising potential for developing innovative immune therapy strategies against liver cancer.

Human Innate Lymphoid Cell Precursors Express CD48 that Modulates ILC Differentiation through 2B4 Signaling

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) develop from common lymphoid progenitors (CLP), which further differentiate into the common ILC progenitor (CILP) that can give rise to both ILCs and NK cells. Murine ILC intermediates have recently been characterized, but the human counterparts and their developmental trajectories have not yet been identified, largely due to the lack of homologous surface receptors in both organisms. Here, we show that human CILPs (CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-) acquire CD48 and CD52, which define NK progenitors (NKPs) and innate lymphoid cell precursors (ILCPs). Two distinct NK cell subsets were generated in vitro from CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48-CD52+ and CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ NKPs, respectively. Independent of NKPs, ILCPs exist in the CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ subset and give rise to ILC1s, ILC2s and NCR+ ILC3s, whereas CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52- ILCPs give rise to a distinct subset of ILC3s that have lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like properties. Additionally, CD48 expressing CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin- precursors give rise to tissue-associated ILCs in vivo. We also observed that the interaction of 2B4 with CD48 induced differentiation of ILC2s, and together these findings show that expression of CD48 by human ILCPs modulates ILC differentiation.

Identification of human cytotoxic ILC3s

Project description:Human ILCs are classically categorized into five subsets; cytotoxic CD127-CD94+ NK cells and non-cytotoxic CD127+CD94-, ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s and LTi cells. Here, we identify a novel subset within the CD127+ ILC population, characterized by the expression of the cytotoxic marker CD94. These CD94+ ILCs strongly resemble conventional ILC3s in terms of phenotype, transcriptome and cytokine production, but are highly cytotoxic. IL-15 was unable to induce differentiation of CD94+ ILCs towards mature NK cells. Instead, CD94+ ILCs retained RORγt, CD127 and CD200R expression and produced IL-22 in response to IL-15. Culturing non-cytotoxic CD127+ ILC1s or ILC3s with IL-12 induced upregulation of CD94 and cytotoxic activity, effects that were not observed with IL-15 stimulation. Thus, human helper ILCs can acquire a cytotoxic program without differentiating into NK cells.

Heterogeneity of liver group 1 ILC1s

Project description:RNA sequencing demonstrated that liver Ly49E+ and Ly49E- ILC1s exhibited unique transcriptional profiles and phenotypic features. scRNA-seq analysis revealed heterogeneity within both cNK and ILC1 subsets in liver. cNK cells could be further divided into three clusters, which corresponded to different developmental stages. Ly49E expression could dissect ILC1s into two subsets: Ly49E+ ILC1s and Ly49E- ILC1s, which exhibited different functional characteristics.

Cytotoxic Granzyme C Expressing ILC1s Contribute to Antitumor Immunity and Neonatal Autoimmunity

Project description:Innate lymphocytes are integral components of the cellular immune system that coordinates host defense against a multitude of challenges and can trigger immunopathology when dysregulated. Natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are innate immune effectors postulated to functionally mirror conventional cytotoxic T lymphocytes and helper T cells, respectively. Here, we show that the cytolytic molecule granzyme C was surprisingly expressed in cells with the phenotype of type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) in mouse liver and salivary gland. Cell fate-mapping and transfer studies revealed that granzyme C-expressing innate lymphocytes could be derived from ILC progenitors and did not interconvert with NK cells, ILC2s, or ILC3s. Granzyme C defined a maturation state of ILC1s, which required the transcription factor T-bet and to a lesser extent Eomes specifically in the salivary gland for their maintenance. Furthermore, transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) signaling promoted maintenance of granzyme C-expressing ILC1s in the salivary gland and in the tumor of a transgenic breast cancer model, and their depletion caused accelerated tumor growth. ILC1s gained granzyme C expression following interleukin-15 (IL-15) stimulation, which enabled perforin-mediated cytotoxicity. Strikingly, constitutive activation of the IL-15-regulated transcription factor Stat5 in granzyme C-fate-mapped ILC1s triggered lethal perforin-dependent autoimmunity in neonatal mice. Thus, granzyme C marks a cytotoxic effector state of ILC1s, broadening their function beyond ‘helper-like’ lymphocytes.

Glucocorticoids inhibit human hematopoietic stem cell differentiation toward a common ILC precursor

Project description:Background: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise cytotoxic NK cells and “helper” ILCs (hILCs). Human hILC development is less characterized as compared to NK cells, although all ILCs are developmentally related. It has been reported that the immunosuppressive drugs glucocorticoids (GCs) regulate ILCs function, but whether they control ILCs differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is unknown. Objective: We sought to analyze the effect of GCs on ILC development from HSCs. Methods: We exploited an in vitro system to generate and expand from peripheral blood (PB) HSCs a multipotent CD56+ ILC precursor able to differentiate into NK cells, ILC1s and ILC3s. We also analyzed ex vivo, at different time points, the PB of allogeneic HSC transplantation (HSCT) recipients who were or were not treated with GCs and compared ILC subset reconstitution. Results: We show that, in vitro, GCs favor the generation of NK cells from myeloid precursors, while they strongly impair lymphoid development. In support to these data, HSCT recipients who had been treated with GCs display a lower number of circulating hILCs, including the ILCP previously identified as a systemic substrate for tissue ILC differentiation. Conclusions: GCs impair the development of the CD117+ ILCP from CD34+ HSCs, while they do not affect the further steps of ILCP differentiation towards NK cells and hILC subsets. This reflects an association of GC treatment with a marked reduction of circulating hILCs in the recipients of HSCT.

Expression data from small intestinal Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1- cells and Lin-c-Kit-Sca-1- cells.

Project description:Small intestinal innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are known to regulate intestinal epithelial cell homeostasis and to help prevent pathogenic bacterial infections, by producing IL-22. However, other functions of these cells and the lineal relationship between ILCs and lymphoid or myeloid cells have not been clear. We performed a global gene expression analysis to examine which genes are highly expressed by small intestinal ILCs (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1- cells) compared with non-ILCs (Lin-c-Kit-Sca-1- cells). To examine the gene expression profiles of ILCs within the small intestinal lamina propria (LP), we isolated Lingeage (Lin)-c-Kit+Sca-1- cells [consisting of NKp46+ ILC22 (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1-NKp46+ cells) and LTi-like ILC (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1-CD4+ cells)] as the ILC population, and Lin-c-Kit-Sca-1- cells as the non-ILC population, from the small intestinal LP of 8 week-old mice by FACS, then compared the gene expression profiles between these two populations by microarray analysis.
