Early microbial exposure shapes adult immunity by altering CD8+ T cell development [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Microbial exposure during development can elicit long-lasting effects on the health of an individual. However, how microbial exposure in early life leads to permanent changes in the immune system is unknown. Here, we show that the microbial environment alters the setpoint for immune susceptibility by altering the developmental architecture of the CD8+ T cell compartment. In particular, early microbial exposure results in the preferential expansion of highly responsive fetal-derived CD8+ T cells that persist into adulthood and provide the host with enhanced immune protection against intracellular pathogens. Interestingly, microbial education of fetal-derived CD8+ T cells occurs during thymic development rather than in the periphery and involves the acquisition of a more effector-like epigenetic program. Collectively, our results provide a new conceptual framework for understanding how microbial colonization in early life leads to lifelong, and potentially irreversible, changes in the immune system.

The effect of early life antibiotic treatment in germ-free or SPF colonized C57BL/6 mice

Project description:Broad-spectrum antibiotics are frequently prescribed to children. The period of early-childhood represents a time where the developing microbiota may be more sensitive to environmental perturbations, which thus might have long-lasting host consequences. We hypothesized that even a single early-life broad-spectrum antibiotic course at a therapeutic dose (PAT) leads to durable alterations in both the gut microbiota and host immunity. In C57BL/6 mice, a single early-life tylosin (macrolide) course markedly altered the intestinal microbiome, and affected specific intestinal T-cell populations and secretory IgA expression, but PAT-exposed adult dams had minimal immunologic alterations. No immunological effects were detected in PAT-exposed germ-free animals; indicating that microbiota are required for the observed activities. Transfer of PAT-perturbed microbiota led to delayed sIgA expression indicating that the altered microbiota is sufficient to transfer PAT-induced effects. PAT exposure had lasting and transferable effects on microbial community network structure. Together these results indicate the impact of a single therapeutic early-life antibiotic course altering the microbiota and modulating host immune phenotypes that persist long after exposure has ceased.

Linking the aryl hydrocarbon receptor with altered DNA methylation patterns and developmentally induced aberrant antiviral T cell responses [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Successfully fighting infection requires a properly tuned immune system. Recent epidemiological studies link exposure to pollutants that bind the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) during development with poorer immune responses later in life. Yet, how developmental triggering of AHR durably alters immune cell function remains unknown. Using a mouse model, we show that developmental activation of AHR leads to long-lasting reduction in the response of CD8+ T cells during influenza virus infection, cells critical for resolving primary infection. Combining genome-wide approaches, we demonstrate that developmental activation alters DNA methylation and gene expression patterns in isolated CD8+ T cells prior to and during infection. Altered transcriptional profiles in CD8+ T cells from developmentally exposed mice reflect changes in pathways involved in proliferation and immunoregulation, with an overall pattern that bears hallmarks of T cell exhaustion. Developmental exposure also changed DNA methylation across the genome, but differences were most pronounced following infection, where we observed inverse correlation between promoter methylation and gene expression. This points to altered regulation of DNA methylation as one mechanism by which AHR causes durable changes in T cell function. Discovering that distinct gene sets and pathways were differentially changed in developmentally exposed mice prior to and after infection further reveals that the process of CD8+ T cell activation is rendered fundamentally different by early life AHR signaling. These findings reveal a novel role for AHR in the developing immune system: regulating DNA methylation and gene expression as immune cells respond to viral infection later in life.

Single-cell RNA-Seq of premature Rhesus macaques lungs with intra-uterine inflammation and therapuetic blockade

Project description:Intrauterine inflammation/infection (IUI), which is present in up to 40% of premature births, leads to elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators and microbial products within the amniotic fluid, which come in close contact to fetal mucosae. Yet, knowledge on the fetal mucosal responses to IUI exposure remains limited. To address these questions, we used a non-human primate model of IUI, in which pregnant Rhesus macaques received intra-amniotic (IA) LPS, compared with saline IA. We found that IA LPS exposure induced a robust and rapid inflammation of the fetal lung.

Antibiotic-induced acceleration of type 1 diabetes alters maturation of innate intestinal immunity

Project description:The early-life intestinal microbiota plays a key role in shaping host immune system development. We found that a single early-life antibiotic course (1PAT) accelerated Type 1 diabetes (T1D) development in male NOD mice. The single course had strong and persistent effects on the intestinal microbiome, selecting for a highly metabolically active metagenome, with altered hepatic and serum metabolites. The exposure led to differential ileal and hepatic histone modification, and perturbed ileal gene expression, strongly affecting the normal maturational pattern. Earliest effects involved specific genes in innate immune pathways, with later effects on adaptive immunity. Microbiome analysis revealed four potential T1D-protective taxa and four T1D-accelerating taxa, and a network linking specific microbial taxa to differences in ileal gene expression was identified. This simplified animal model has improved understanding of the mechanisms by which early-life gut microbiome perturbations alter host intestinal responses, contributing to T1D.

Gene regulatory basis of bystander activation in CD8+ T cells (ATAC-seq)

Project description:The immune system is stratified into layers of specialized cells with distinct functions. Recently, Lin28b was shown to serve as a master regulator of fetal lymphopoiesis and program the development of more innate-like lymphocytes in early life. However, it is still unclear how Lin28b alters the function of fetal-derived lymphocytes and protects the host against infection. In this report, we examined how Lin28b transcriptionally and epigenetically programs murine CD8+ T cells for innate immune defense and translated our key findings to human CD8+ T cells. We found that Lin28b operates as a gatekeeper, opening the door to a hidden diversity of phenotypes that are unveiled upon stimulation with innate cytokines. In particular, Lin28b promotes a transcriptionally and functionally diverse pool of cells through chromatin remodeling. As a result, neonatal CD8+ T cells are able to deploy a bet-hedging immune strategy and protect the host against a wide range of unrelated pathogens.
