A role for BCL6 in maintaining CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during helminth infection

ABSTRACT: Distinct subsets of T lymphocytes express CX3CR1 under inflammatory conditions, but little is known about CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during Type 2 inflammation in helminth infections. Here, we used a fate-mapping mouse model to characterize CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during both acute Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and chronic Schistosoma mansoni helminth infections, revealing CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells to be an activated tissue homing subset with varying capacity for cytokine production. Tracking these cells over time revealed that maintenance of CX3CR1 itself along with a TH2 phenotype conferred a survival advantage in the inflamed tissue. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of fate-mapped CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells from both the peripheral tissue and the spleen revealed a considerable level of diversity and identified a distinct population of BCL6+ TCF-1+ PD1+ CD4+ T cells in the spleen during helminth infections. Conditional deletion of BCL6 in CX3CR1+ cells result in fewer CX3CR1+ CD4+ during infection, indicating a role in sustaining CD4+ T cell responses to helminth infections. Overall, our studies revealed the behavior and heterogeneity of CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during Type 2 inflammation in helminth infections and identified BCL6 to be important in their maintenance

Human resistin alters lung mRNA expression from helminth-infected lungs.

Project description:Goal: To examine the effects of human resistin during helminth infection. Methodology: To examine the function of human resistin (hResistin), we utilized transgenic mice expressing the human resistin gene along with its entire regulatory region (hRetnTg+). Following infection with the helminth Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, whole lung RNA was sequenced in hRetnTg+ mice, control hRetnTg- and naïve mice. Conclusion: In hRetnTg+ mice, many genes involved in inflammation and the immune system, specifically toll-like receptor signaling and chemokines, are significantly upregulated, suggesting that human resistin promotes TLR signaling and inflammation during helminth infection.

Epithelial-Cell-Derived Phospholipase A2 Group 1B Is an Endogenous Anthelmintic

Project description:Immunity to intestinal helminth infections has been well studied, but the mechanism of helminth killing prior to expulsion remains unclear. Here we identify epithelial-cell-derived phospholipase A2 group 1B (PLA2g1B) as a host-derived endogenous anthelmintic. PLA2g1B is elevated in resistant mice and is responsible for killing tissue-embedded larvae. Despite comparable activities of other essential type-2-dependent immune mechanisms, Pla2g1b-/- mice failed to expel the intestinal helminths Heligmosomoides polygyrus or Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Expression of Pla2g1b by epithelial cells was dependent upon intestinal microbiota, adaptive immunity, and common-gamma chain-dependent signaling. Notably, Pla2g1b was downregulated in susceptible mice and inhibited by IL-4R-signaling in vitro, uncoupling parasite killing from expulsion mechanisms. Resistance was restored in Pla2g1b-/- mice by treating infective H. polygyrus L3 larvae with PLA2g1B, which reduced larval phospholipid abundance. These findings uncover epithelial-cell-derived Pla2g1b as an essential mediator of helminth killing, highlighting a previously overlooked mechanism of anti-helminth immunity.

Transcriptome of Chat positive and negative ILC2s

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) reside in multiple tissues including lymphoid organs and barrier surfaces, and secrete type 2 cytokines including interleukin (IL)-5, IL-9 and IL-13. These cells participate in multiple physiological processes including allergic inflammation, tissue repair, metabolic homeostasis and host defense against helminth infections. Recent studies indicate that neuropeptides can play an important role in regulating ILC2 responses, however, the mechanisms that underlie these processes in vivo remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify that activated ILC2s upregulate choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)—the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of acetylcholine (ACh)—following infection with the helminth parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis or treatment with alarmins or cytokines including IL-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). ILC2s also express acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), and ACh administration promotes ILC2 cytokine production and elicits expulsion of helminth infection. In accordance with this, ChAT deficiency in ILC2s leads to defective ILC2 responses and impaired immunity against helminth infection. Together, these results reveal a previously unrecognized role of the ChAT-ACh pathway in promoting type 2 innate immunity to helminth infection.

Gene expression profile of all CD4 T cells from the mesenteric lymph nodes of SPF and Nippostrongylus Brasiliensis infected mice

Project description:The discovery of naïve T cell transcriptional heterogeneity in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice represents a paradigm shift. While the ablation of Vista can alter the proportion of naïve CD4+ T cells with unique transcriptional signatures and the ‘readiness’ of the mice to break tolerance, the effect of non-heritable environmental exposures to commensals or infections remains entirely unknown. This is especially significant since individual variance in immune response, rather than being genetically inherited, is mostly attributed to environmental factors. Here we demonstrate that transcriptional heterogeneity characterizes even the germ-free (GF) mouse naïve CD4+ T cells. Naïve CD4+ T cell transcriptional subsets and their proportions were identical between GF, SPF and conventionalized GF mice, thus commensal-independent. Notwithstanding, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (N.b.) infection altered the proportions of these transcriptional subsets, and the appearance of cells with a unique transcriptional signature. These naïve T cell-intrinsic changes accounted for the decreased immunization response of mice to an unrelated antigen. The compositional and functional changes in the naïve CD4+ T cell pool were dependent-variables of helminth infection, regressing with N.b. clearance. Therefore, naïve T cells are not uniformly uncommitted substrates for antigen-dependent activation but actively integrate environmental cues to permute the magnitude of the immune response.

Comparison of transcriptional profiles from 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells during 2W1S-expressing Salmonella and Strongyloides ratti infections reveals that infectious context drives effector CD4+ T cell function

Project description:Approximately one-third of the world is infected with parasitic helminths, and there are no available vaccines. Helminths induce robust type 2 immune responses and host CD4+ T cells are required for clearance, but how helminth-specific CD4+ T cells are generated and whether they adopt prototypical features of effector Th2 cells is entirely unknown. We generated a novel transgenic line of Strongyloides ratti to track and study helminth-specific T cells. This transgenic line, termed Hulk, stably expresses immunodominant T cell epitope 2W1S as a fusion protein with FLAG and green fluorescent protein (GFP). We consistently observe expansion of CD44hiCD11ahi 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells in the lungs of Hulk-infected C57BL/6 mice. Surprisingly, these cells do not exhibit a Th2 or regulatory T cell (Treg) phenotype, and their expansion is minimal compared to expansion following 2W1S-peptide immunization. In order to more thoroughly interrogate the phenotype and function of 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells during Hulk infection, we performed mRNA sequencing on 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells from both Hulk-infected and 2W-Salmonella-infected mice. Interestingly, whereas 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells that expand during 2W-Salmonella infection express canonical pro-inflammatory genes, 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells from Hulk-infected mice preferentially upregulate genes associated with immune suppression and wound healing. Altogether, these data suggest that helminth antigen specific CD4+ T cells may comprise an unconventional subset that mediates immunosuppression and tissue repair following helminth infection and not necessarily type 2 cytokine responses.

Single CD4+ cells after Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection

Project description:We were interested in investigating the heterogeneity of CD4+ Th2 cells during infection response. In order to do so we injected Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) in recipient mice as this is known to elicit a Type 2 response. Mice were subcutaneously injected with Nb larvae and single CD4+ cells were isolated from mediastinal lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes, and lungs 5 days after infection.
