Loss of Elp3 impairs the immune response to helminths by blocking intestinal tuft cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: Intestinal tuft cells are critical in anti-helminth immunity by producing IL-25, which triggers IL-13 secretion by activated group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in order to ultimately expand both goblet and tuft cells. Translational reprogramming is involved in intestinal tuft cell differentiation but the role of tRNA modifications in this process is unknown. We show here that epithelial Elp3, a tRNA-modifying enzyme, promotes tuft cell differentiation and is consequently critical for IL-25 production, ILC2 activation, goblet cell expansion and control of N. brasiliensis infection in mice. Elp3 is essential for the IL-13-dependent induction of some glycolytic enzymes such as Hexokinase 1 and Aldolase A and consequently links specific metabolic pathways to tuft cell differentiation. Importantly, loss of epithelial Elp3 in the intestine blocks the translation of Nprl2, a mTORC1 inhibitor, which consequently enhances mTORC1 activation and stabilizes Atf4 in both transit amplifying and progenitor cells. Likewise, Atf4 overexpression in mouse intestinal epithelium blocks tuft cell differentiation and impairs the control of intestinal helminth infection. Collectively, our data define Atf4 as a negative regulator of tuft cell differentiation and provide insights into mechanisms through which some tRNA modifications promote a type 2 immune response to parasites in the intestine.

WT/AtohKO Ileum w/ antibiotics

Project description:An inverse correlation between countries endemic for helminth infestation and Crohn's disease (CD) incidences has been reinforced by anecdotal but successful cases of helminth therapy for CD. Recent studies have revealed that tuft cells in the small intestine are critical for sensing helminths and directing a type 2 immune response to counteract colonization. Here, we establish an inverse relationship between chemosensory tuft cells and local tissue inflammation in CD patients as well as an established mouse model of TNF-á-induced Crohn's-like ileitis (TNFÄARE). Using a combination of mouse and organoid models, single-cell RNA-sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, computational analysis, metabolite mass spectrometry, and microbiome sequencing and manipulation, we identified Atonal Homolog 1 (ATOH1)-independent tuft cells, as opposed to ATOH1-dependent tuft cells, to be responsive to the commensal microbiome through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolite succinate. To evaluate the ability of the malleable, ATOH1-independent tuft cell population to suppress intestinal inflammation, we administered succinate to TNFÄARE animals post onset of ileal inflammatory disease. We observed significantly reduced pathology that is exquisitely dependent on succinate-induced tuft cell specification in the disease model, leading to an anti-helminth response previously shown to suppress inflammation. Inflammation suppression was triggered by cytokines critical to anti-helminthic response, such as IL-22, IL-25, and IL-13. We provide evidence implicating the modulatory role of intestinal tuft cells in chronic intestinal inflammation, which could enable the development of CD therapies around leveraging this rare and elusive cell type.

Lung tuft cell transcriptomics

Project description:While the lung bears significant regenerative capacity, severe viral pneumonia can chronically impair lung function by triggering dysplastic remodeling. The connection between these enduring changes and chronic disease remains poorly understood. We recently described the emergence of tuft cells within Krt5+ dysplastic regions after influenza injury. Using bulk and single cell transcriptomics, we characterized and delineated multiple distinct tuft cell populations that arise following influenza clearance. Distinct from intestinal tuft cells which rely on Type 2 immune signals for their expansion, neither IL-25 nor IL-4Ra signaling are required to drive tuft cell development in dysplastic/injured lungs. Furthermore, tuft cells were also observed upon bleomycin injury, suggesting that their development may be a general response to severe lung injury. While intestinal tuft cells promote growth and differentiation of surrounding epithelial cells, in the lungs of tuft cell deficient mice, Krt5+ dysplasia still occurs, goblet cell production is unchanged, and there remains no appreciable contribution of Krt5+ cells into more regionally appropriate alveolar Type 2 cells. Together, these findings highlight unexpected differences in signals necessary for lung tuft cell amplification and establish a framework for future elucidation of tuft cell functions in pulmonary health and disease.

RNA-Seq of distal colonic homogenates from intestinal epithelial-specific Sprouty2-deleted mice versus littermate controls

Project description:We asked whether Sprouty2 controls secretory cell differentiation in the distal colon. Loss of Sprouty2 leads to expansion of tuft and goblet cell populations. Sprouty2 loss induced PI3K/Akt signaling, leading to GSK3β inhibition and epithelial IL-33 expression

Requirement of mitochondrial transcription factor A in interleukin-17-producing gdT cells to regulate the small intestine homeostasis and metabolism

Project description:Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing gamma delta T (gdT17) cells are one of the major cellular sources of IL-17 under the steady state and in disease. However, gdT17 cell metabolism and its role in tissue homeostasis remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the tissue milieu shapes splenic and intestinal gdT17 cell gene signatures. Conditional deletion of mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) in gdT17 cells significantly affected gdT17 cell maintenance systemically. In vivo deletion of Tfam in gdT17 cells resulted in small intestinal tissue remodeling and increased small intestine length that was caused by the enhanced tuft cell–group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) circuit in mice. In vitro, IL-22, a cytokine highly produced by gdT17 cells, inhibited IL-13-induced tuft cell differentiation. Mice with Tfam deletion in gdT17 cells also showed dysregulation of the small intestine transcriptome and metabolism with less body weight but enhanced anti-helminth immunity. Thus, our work revealed a critical role of mitochondrial metabolism in gdT17 cell maintenance and in regulating small intestine homeostasis and metabolism.

Gene expression patterns of biopsies from a colonoscopy taken in 2009 of an ulcerative colitis patient infected with Trichuris trichiura

Project description:Helminth infection may have the potential to suppress intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases. Ulcerative colitis is more common in developed countries than in developing countries endemic for helminth infections. There are animal models, as well as clinical trials, suggesting therapeutic effects of experimental helminth infection. Here, we provide a comprehensive molecular portrait of dynamic changes in the intestinal mucosa of an individual who infected himself with Trichuris trichiura to treat his symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Genes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were upregulated in helminth-colonized tissue, while tissues with active colitis showed upregulation of proinflammatory genes such as IL-17, IL13RA2, and CHI3L1. T. trichiura colonization of the intestine may reduce symptomatic colitis by promoting goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus production through TH2 cytokines and IL-22. By better understanding the physiological effects of helminth infection, new therapies for ulcerative colitis could be identified. This is the third (out of three) series of arrays from this patient from a colonoscopy in 2009 when the patient was in remission. We analyzed 12 HEEBO arrays on which were hybridized RNA amplified from pinch biopsies collected from different regions of the colon. 4 samples were from the ascending colon, which was colonized by worms at the time. 3 samples were from the transverse colon, which appeared normal at the time. 3 samples were from the recto-sigmoid colon, which had recovered from colitis at the time. 2 samples were from the terminal ileum, which was unaffected by worms or colitis.
