Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals transcriptional and cell subpopulation differences between human and pig immune cells

ABSTRACT: The pig is a promising candidate for xenotransplantation. Understanding the differences between human and swine immune systems is critical for addressing xeno-transplant rejection and hematopoietic reconstitution. We performed single-cell RNA-seq on human and pig immune cells. High oxidative phosphorylation, HIF-1, glycolysis, and lysosome-related gene expressions in pig CD14+ monocytes were observed, whereas pig CD14+ monocytes exhibited lower levels of cytokine receptors and JAK-STAT-related genes. Pig activated CD4+T cells decreased cell adhesion and inflammation, while enriched for migration and activation processes. Porcine GNLY+CD8+T cells reduced cytotoxicity and increased proliferation compared with human GNLY+CD8+T cells. Pig CD2+CD8+γδT cells were functionally homologous to human CD2+CD4+ γδT cells. Pig CD2-CD8-γδT cells expressed genes with quiescent and precursor characteristics, while CD2-CD8+γδT cells expressed migration and memory-related molecules. Pig CD24+ and CD5+B cells are associated with inflammatory responses. Our research with integrated scRNA-seq enables a deeper understanding of the development and function of porcine immune cells.

Project description:Persistent and elevated systemic inflammation contributes to the increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in persons with HIV (PWH). , but aspects of the innate and adaptive immune response to HIV and other chronic co-infections that promote the development of these comorbid conditions remain unclear. We used mass cytometry and the tracking responders expanding (T-REX) workflow to define differences in circulating cells of the innate and adaptive immune arms, which differentiate non-diabetic and prediabetic/diabetic persons with HIV (PWH) on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART). We found a significantly higher proportion of circulating CD14+ monocytes complexed with T cells, B cells, and NK cells among PWH with diabetes. The CD3+ T cells in these complexes were predominantly CD8+ memory T cells. The CD3+ CD14+ T cell-monocyte complexes are pro-inflammatory and negatively associated with plasma interleukin-10 levels and circulating CD4+ T regulatory cells. Using transmission electron microscopy, we observed heterogeneous interactions between CD3+ T cells and monocytes within the complexes, including formation of immune synapses and phagocytosis. 10x Chromium single-cell sequencing RNA transcriptomic analysis of CD3+ CD14+ doublets showed differential expression of genes involved in T cell activation and the adaptive immune response compared to monocytes that were not complexed with other immune cells. Notably, there were significantly more copies of HIV RNA per cell in the CD3+ CD14+ T cell-monocyte complexes compared to CD14+ monocytes or CD3+ CD4+ T cells alone, and HIV virions were observed in both T cells and monocytes within the doublets?. Metabolically, CD3+ CD14+ T cell-monocyte complexes had high glucose-dependence with minimal mitochondrial dependence. Taken together, CD3+ CD14+ T cell-monocyte pairs are functional and physically interacting immune cell complexes which might be enriched with HIV. These complexesare increased among individuals with diabetes and may be a target for future HIV cure studies and diseases of aging.
