ILC2 development requires GATA3-related super-enhancers after lineage commitment

ABSTRACT: This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are a subset of innate lymphocytes that produce type 2 cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. GATA3 being a critical transcription factor for ILC2 development at multiple stages. However, when and how GATA3 is induced to the levels required for ILC2 development remains elusive. Herein, we identified ILC2-specific tandem GATA3-related super-enhancers (G3SE) that induce high GATA3 in ILC2-committed precursors. G3SE-deficient mice exhibit ILC2 loss in the BM, lung, liver, and small intestine, a slight ILC1 increase, and no difference in ILC3, LTi, NK cells, nor Th2 cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that GATA3 induction in late ILC2-committed precursors depends on G3SEs and is required for the transition to mature ILC2. Cnot6l, part of the CCR4-Not deadenylase complex, is a possible GATA3 target during ILC2 development. Our findings indicate a novel regulatory mechanism for GATA3 expression during ILC2 development.

Multi-transcription factor reporter mice delineate early precursors to the LTi and ILC lineages

Project description:Transcription factor (TF) reporter mice have proved integral to the characterization of murine innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development and function. Here, we implemented a CRISPR/Cas9-generated combinatorial reporter approach for the simultaneous resolution of several key TFs throughout ILC development in both the fetal liver and adult bone marrow. We demonstrate that the Tcf7-expressing early innate lymphoid progenitor (EILP) and the common helper innate lymphoid progenitor (CHILP) both contain a heterogeneous mixture of committed ILC and Lymphoid Tissue-inducer (LTi) precursors, rather than a shared precursor to these lineages. Moreover, the earliest specified precursor to the LTi lineage was identified upstream of these populations, prior to the expression of Tcf7. These findings match dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility associated with the expression of key TFs (ie. Gata3 and Rorc), highlighting the distinct origins of ILC and LTi lineages at the epigenetic and functional levels, and provide a revised map for ILC development.

Differential Expression of the Transcription Factor GATA3 Specifies Lineage and Functions of Innate Lymphoid Cells

Project description:Lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are regarded as a subset of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). However, these cells are not derived from the ILC common progenitor, which generates other ILC subsets and is defined by the expression of the transcription factor PLZF. Here we examined transcription factor(s) determining the fate of LTi progenitor versus non-LTi ILC progenitor. Conditional deletion of Gata3 resulted in the loss of PLZF+ non-LTi progenitors but not the LTi progenitors that expressed the transcription factor RORγt. Consistently, PLZF+ non-LTi progenitors expressed high amounts of GATA3 whereas GATA3 expression was low in RORγt+ LTi progenitors. The generation of both progenitors required the transcriptional regulator Id2, which defines the common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitor, but not cytokine signaling. Nevertheless, low GATA3 expression was necessary for the generation of functionally mature LTi cells. Thus, differential expression of GATA3 determines the fates and functions of distinct ILC progenitors.

Suppression of ILC2 differentiation from committed T cell precursors by E protein transcription factors

Project description:Current models propose that group 2 innate lymphoid cells are generated in the bone marrow. Here we demonstrate that subsets of these cells can differentiate from multipotent progenitors and committed T cell precursors in the thymus, both in vivo and in vitro. These thymic ILC2s can exit the thymus, circulate in the blood and home to peripheral tissues. Ablation of E protein transcription factors greatly promotes the innate lymphoid cell fate at the expense of B and T cell development. Consistently, a transcriptional network centered on the ZBTB16 transcription factor and IL-4 signaling pathway is highly up-regulated due to E protein deficiency. Our results show that ILC2 can still be generated from what are normally considered to be committed T cell precursors, and that this alternative cell fate is restrained by high levels of E protein activity in these cells.

Single cell RNA sequencing for α lymphoid progenitor

Project description:The single-cell transcriptional analysis of bone marrow progenitors and subsequent analysis revealed that GATA3 induction in late ILC2-committed precursor depends on the G3SE lesion and that the upregulation of GATA3 in the late ILC2-precursor is required for the transition to mature ILC2.

The transcription factor GATA3 is critical for the development of all IL-7Ra-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 2 ILCs

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles during innate immune responses to pathogens and lymphoid organ development. IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets, similar to T helper (Th) cell subsets, produce distinctive effector cytokines. The molecular control of IL-7Ra+ ILC development and maintenance has yet to be dissected. Here we report that GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets and T cells. Gata3 conditional deficient mice have no lymph nodes and are susceptible to Citrobactor rodentium infection. Genome-wide gene analyses indicate that GATA3 regulates similar set of cytokines and receptors in ILC2s and Th2 cells and is critical for the maintenance of ILC2s. Thus, GATA3 plays parallel roles in establishing and regulating both adaptive and innate lymphocytes. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells by tamoxifen-mediated acute deletion of Gata3 gene.

CRISPR screens and ILC2-targeted Boolean circuitry reveal Mef2d-potentiation of type-2 immunity [RNA-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.

Study of the role of c-Maf in type 2 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are involved in type 2 inflammatory diseases such as allergy. In response to repeated allergen inhalations, lung epithelial cells secrete innate cytokines that activate ILC2s to release interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) resulting in eosinophil infiltration, mucus hyper-production, and airway hyperreactivity. Beside GATA3, very little is known about the role of specific transcription factors in the regulation of ILC2’s function. Here we identify c-Maf as a crucial regulator of ILC2 function and identity. c-Maf deficient ILC2s are impaired in IL-5 and IL-13 production and eosinophil recruitment. Transcriptomic analysis underlined a reduced expression of genes associated with Th2/ILC2 identity and memory development that we confirmed both in mice and human, either in ILC2s engineered to express less c-Maf or in naturally c-Maflow ILC2s from cord blood. Our results indicate that c-Maf is a core node that connects immature to primed/trained ILC2s.
