Non-redundant functions of group 2 innate lymphoid cells

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the generation of a new mouse model based on the Nmur1 promoter as a driver for simultaneous expression of Cre recombinase and green fluorescent protein (GFP), which allows gene targeting in ILC2 without affecting other innate and adaptive immune cells. By removing Id2 and Gata-3 using Cre-mediated gene deletion in Nmur1-expressing cells, we have generated mice with selective and specific deficiency in ILC2. ILC2-deficient mice have decreased eosinophil counts in steady state and are unable to recruit eosinophils in the airways in models of allergic asthma. Further, ILC2-deficient mice fail to mount an appropriate immune and epithelial type 2 response resulting in a profound defect in worm control and a non-protective type 3 immune response. In total, our data establish non-redundant functions for ILC2s in the presence of adaptive immune cells at steady state and during diseases and argue for a multilayered organization of the immune system based on a spatiotemporal division of labor.

ILC2 promote type 2 immunity in myeloid and epithelial cells of the lung (scRNAseq)

Project description:ILC2 contribute to tissue immunity by secreting large amounts of cytokines upon activation. However, their role in steady state tissue homeostasis remains incompletely explored. We tested the impact of ILC2 on tissue immunity in steady state the lungs by scRNA sequencing of myeloid and epithelial cells from mice specifically lacking ILC2 (Nmur1-Cre Id2 fl/fl). Transcripts typically associated with type 2 immunity were reduced in ILC2-deficient mice, indicating a non-redundant role of ILC2 for type 2 tissue immunity that cannot be compensated by other cell types. These findings highlight the importance of ILC2 for balancing tissue homeostasis in the healthy murine lung.

ILC2 promote type 2 immunity in colonic epithelial cells during N. brasiliensis infection.

Project description:ILC2 contribute to tissue immunity by secreting large amounts of cytokines upon activation. However, their specific contribution to worm infection and epithelial remodeling remains incompletely understood. We tested the impact of ILC2 on tissue immunity in the colon of mice infected with the nematode Nippostronylus brasiliensis. We performed scRNA sequencing of colon epithelial cells from mice specifically lacking ILC2 (Nmur1-Cre Id2 fl/fl). Transcripts typically associated with type 2 immunity were reduced in ILC2-deficient mice, indicating a non-redundant role of ILC2 for type 2 tissue immunity in worm protection that cannot be compensated by other cell types. These findings highlight the importance of ILC2 for nematode control and type 2 tissue immunity.

Neuromedin U receptor-1 amplifies inflammatory lung innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote mucosal homeostasis, yet also contribute to pathologic type 2 inflammation in allergic asthma. Alarmin cytokines produced by damaged and stressed epithelial cells, such as IL-25, activate ILC2s, but it remains unclear if these cytokines are unique in switching homeostatic ILC2s into pro-inflammatory cells that drive tissue inflammation. To identify molecular cues that modulate ILC responses to alarmins, we collected single-cell RNA-seq profiles of lung-resident ILCs at steady state and after in vivo stimulation. Computational and functional analysis identified that ILC2s express the neuropeptide receptor Nmur1. Neuromedin U (NMU), the ligand of Nmur1, activates ILCs in vitro, and when co-administered with IL-25 in vivo, NMU dramatically amplifies allergic inflammation and induces ILC2 expansion. Finally, loss of NMU/Nmur1-signaling reduces ILC2 frequency and effector function following allergen challenge in vivo. Our results demonstrate that Nmur1 signaling modifies alarmin-mediated ILC2 responses to promote pro-inflammatory ILCs, and highlights the importance of neuro-immune crosstalk in allergic inflammatory responses at mucosal surfaces.

The neuropeptide Neuromedin U stimulates innate lymphoid cells and promotes type 2 inflammation [ILC2 and ILC3]

Project description:The type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13 play critical roles in stimulating innate and adaptive immune responses required for resistance to helminth infection and promotion of allergic inflammation, metabolic homeostasis and tissue repair. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a potent source of type 2 cytokines and while significant advances have been made in understanding the cytokine milieu that promotes ILC2 responses, there are fundamental gaps in knowledge regarding how ILC2 responses are regulated by other stimuli. In this report, we demonstrate that ILC2s in the gastrointestinal tract co-localize with cholinergic neurons that express the neuropeptide neuromedin U (NMU). In contrast to other hematopoietic cells, ILC2s selectively express the NMU receptor 1 (NMUR1). In vitro stimulation of ILC2s with NMU induced rapid cell activation, proliferation and secretion of type 2 cytokines IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13 that was dependent on cell-intrinsic expression of NMUR1 and Gaq protein. In vivo administration of NMU triggered potent type 2 cytokine responses characterized by ILC2 activation, proliferation and eosinophil recruitment that was associated with accelerated expulsion of the gastrointestinal nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis or induction of lung inflammation. Conversely, worm burden was higher in Nmur1-/- mice compared to control mice. Further, use of gene-deficient mice and adoptive cell transfer experiments revealed that ILC2s were necessary and sufficient to mount NMU-elicited type 2 cytokine responses. Together, these data indicate that the NMU-NMUR1 neuronal signaling circuit provides a selective and previously unrecognized mechanism through which the enteric nervous system and innate immune system integrate to promote rapid type 2 cytokine responses that can induce anti-microbial, inflammatory and tissue-protective type 2 responses at mucosal sites.

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.

Tissue-restricted adaptive type-2 immunity is orchestrated by OX40L expression on group 2 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:We investigated the transcriptional profiles of lung ILC2, Th2 and Treg (Gata3+ and -) cells from naïve and IL-33-treated mice. This experiment accompanies our manuscript, where we showed that IL-33-dependent accumulation of adaptive type-2 immune cells (Th2 and Treg) was dependent on OX40L expression by ILC2.

The CD27/CD70 pathway negatively regulates visceral adipose tissue resident Th2 cells and controls metabolic homeostasis

Project description:The adipose tissue homeostasis relies on the interplay between several regulatory lineages, such as ILC2, Th2, Treg, eosinophils and type 2 macrophages. Among them, ILC2 are numerically the dominant source of type 2 cytokines and are considered as major regulators of adiposity. Despite the overlap in immune effector molecules and sensitivity to alarmins (TSLP, IL-33) between ILC2 and resident memory Th2 lymphocytes, the role of the adaptive axis of type-2 immunity remains unclear. We show that mice deficient for CD27, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, are more resistant to obesity and associated disorders. A comparative analysis of the CD4 compartment of both strains revealed higher numbers of fat resident memory Th2 cells in the adipose tissue of CD27KO mice, which correlated with decreased PD-1-induced apoptosis. Our data point to a non-redundant role for Th2 lymphocytes in obesogenic conditions.

Expression data from mouse oral keratinocyte

Project description:Keratinocytes are the major constituent of epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces and skin, which cover organs, internal cavities and the body. Traditionally, keratinocytes have been considered as an inert component of the multilayered epithelium to protect the subepithelial compartments from the pathogenic microorganisms, toxic stimuli and physical trauma. However, accumulated researches of the airway, gastrointestinal tract and skin have demonstrated that keratinocytes function in the development of the immune system, promotion of pathologic inflammation and even impose diverse decisions on immune cells. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of oral keratinocyte during oral adaptive immune response. Oral keratinocyte were collected at three time points (control, 48h and 96h) in oral adaptive immune response for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

The neuropeptide neuromedin U directs eosinophils to promote epithelial cell differentiation and barrier immunity of the small intestine

Project description:In this work we show that neuromedin U receptor 1 (NMUR1)-mediated signaling programs SI eosinophils to support epithelial cell differentiation and barrier immunity. The global transcriptional profiling of eosinophils from different tissues of mice revealed that Nmur1 was expressed in a subset of eosinophils specifically in the SI. Fate mapping analyses showed that NMUR1 expression in SI eosinophils was imprinted by local microenvironment and further enhanced by the inflammation. Genetic deletion of NMUR1 decreased the numbers of eosinophils, degranulation activity, and goblet cell differentiation in the SI. Chemogenetic manipulation of NMU-expressing cells significantly altered the goblet cell differentiation and mucus secretion. Eosinophil-organoid co-culture experiments demonstrated that NMU-mediated eosinophil activation directly promoted the growth of intestinal organoids and formation of budding domains and complex crypt–villus structures. Finally, the deficiency of NMUR1 compromised anti-parasite immunity. Thus, NMU regulates epithelial cell differentiation and function through stimulating NMUR1-expressing eosinophils in the SI, highlighting the importance of neuro-immune-epithelium crosstalk in maintaining tissue homeostasis.
