A distinct human cell type expressing MHCII and RORγt with dual characteristics of dendritic cells and type 3 innate lymphoid cells

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have characterized various mouse antigen-presenting cells (APCs) expressing the lymphoid-lineage transcription factor RORγt, which exhibit distinct phenotypic features and are implicated in the induction of peripheral regulatory T cells (Tregs) and immune tolerance to microbiota and self-antigens. These APCs encompass Janus cells and Thetis cell subsets, some of which express the autoimmune regulator AIRE. RORγt+ MHCII+ type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) have also been implicated in the instruction of microbiota specific Tregs. While RORγt+ APCs have been actively investigated in mice, the identity and function of these cell subsets in humans remain elusive. Herein, we identify a rare subset of RORγt+ cells with dendritic cell (DC) features through integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell ATAC sequencing. These cells, which we term RORγt+ DC-like cells (R-DC-like), exhibit DC morphology, express the MHC class II machinery, are distinct from all previously reported DC and ILC3 subsets, but share transcriptional and epigenetic similarities with DC2 and ILC3. We have developed procedures to isolate and expand them in vitro, enabling their functional characterization. R-DC-like cells proliferate in vitro, continue to express RORγt, and differentiate into CD1c+ DC2-like cells. They stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic T cells. The identification of human R-DC-like cells with proliferative potential and plasticity towards CD1c+ DC2-like cells will prompt further investigation into their impact on immune homeostasis, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

Adult mouse skin dendritic cells

Project description:Early life establishment of tolerance to commensal bacteria at barrier surfaces carries enduring implications for immune health but remains poorly understood. Here we show that this process is controlled by microbial interaction with a specialized subset of antigen presenting cells. More particularly, we identify CD301b+ type 2 conventional dendritic cells (DC) as a subset in neonatal skin specifically capable of uptake, presentation and generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to commensal antigens. In early life, CD301b+ DC2 are enriched for programs of phagocytosis and maturation, while also expressing tolerogenic markers. In both human and murine skin, these signatures were reinforced by microbial uptake. In contrast to their adult counterparts or other early life DC subsets, neonatal CD301b+ DC2 highly expressed the retinoic acid-producing enzyme, RALDH2, deletion of which limited commensal-specific Tregs. Thus, synergistic interactions between bacteria and a specialized DC subset critically support early life tolerance at the cutaneous interface.

Transcriptome profiles of mouse and human monocyte and dendritic cell subsets (human data)

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in mediating immunity to pathogens, vaccines, tumors and tolerance to self. Significant progress has been made in the study of DC subsets in murine models but the translation of these findings to human DC immunobiology has not been fully realized. Murine splenic CD8+ DC and CD103+ DC possess potent antigen cross-presenting capacity. Although recent evidence points to human blood CD141+ DCs as the functional equivalent of CD8+ DC, the precise identity of the human migratory cross-presenting DC has remained elusive. We performed phenotypic and functional analyses to interrogate the DC compartment of human non-lymphoid tissues and identified three distinct subsets: i) CD141high DCs, ii) CD1c DCs and iii) CD14+ DCs. Only CD141high DCs were capable of cross-presenting soluble antigen. Comparative transcriptome analysis of steady state monocyte and DC subsets between mouse and human confirmed conservation between species, aligning the following subsets together: i) human CD141high DCs with mouse CD8+ and CD103+ DCs, ii) human CD1c+ DCs with mouse CD4+ DCs and iii) human CD14+ DC with mouse monocyte subsets. The lack of positive association between human CD1c+ DCs and mouse non-lymphoid tissue CD11b+ DCs highlights heterogeneity and predicts the existence of a monocyte-like cell within the CD11b+ DCs.

Function of human CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC in a humanized mouse model in vivo

Project description:Human immune cell subsets develop in immunodeficient mice following reconstitution with human CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells. These “humanized” mice are useful models to study human immunology and human-tropic infections, autoimmunity and cancer. However, some human immune cell subsets are unable to fully develop or acquire full functional capacity due to a lack of cross-reactivity of many growth factors and cytokines between species. “Classical” (c) DC arise from a separate precursor to monocytes and initiate and direct T cell responses. In mice they can be further categorized into cDC1, which mediate Th1 and CD8+ T cell responses, and cDC2, which mediate Th2 and Th17 responses. The gene expression profiles and phenotype human CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC subsets align with mouse cDC1 and cDC2 respectively but there are also key interspecies differences. Human CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC develop in humanized mice but the extent to which they resemble their human blood counterparts is not yet known. We therefore analyzed the gene expression profiles of CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC in humanized mice and demonstrated that they closely resemble those in human blood, making this an attractive model in which to study human DC in vitro or on vivo. We further used this model to explore changes in DC subsets after activation with TLR3 and TLR7/8 ligands, poly I:C and R848 in vivo. A core panel of genes consistent with DC maturation status were upregulated by both subsets. R848 specifically upregulated genes associated with Th17 responses by CD1c+ DC, whilst poly I:C upregulated IFN-λ genes specifically by CD141+ DC. Thus CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC share a similar activation profiles in vivo but also have induce unique signatures that support specialized roles in CD8+ T cell priming and Th17 responses respectively.

Deciphering the fate of slan+-monocytes in tonsils by gene expression profiling

Project description:slan+-monocytes represent a subset of the “non-classical” CD14dim/-CD16++ monocytes, which are characterized by the expression of the so-called “slan” antigen, recognized by specific monoclonal antibodies. slan+-cells can be identified in peripheral tissues including tonsils. However, their origin from slan+-monocytes as well as their terminal differentiation state (toward macrophages/dendritic cells) were only partially resolved. In this study, we performed transcriptomic studies of tonsil slan+-cells,CD1c+DCs/DC2 and CD11b+ CD14+macrophages, as well as subsets of peripheral blood monocytes and we report that tonsil slan+-cells mainly represent macrophage-like cells with features distinct from those of tonsil CD11b+CD14+macrophages or CD1c+DCs/DC2. Moreover we provide a number of molecular evidence indicating that tonsil slan+-cells derive from peripheral slan+-monocytes.

Gene array analysis of human adult skin and spleen antigen presenting cells.

Project description:Antigen presenting cells (APC) are a heterogenous population, comprised of macrophages/monocytes (CD14+ cells), classical dendritic cells (CD141+DC and CD1c+ DC) and pDC. Upon stimulation, APC migrate from peripheral organs to lymph nodes, where they drive T cell specific lineage fate, that is towards immune activation or suppression. APC in human tissues remain poorly defined. Through our previous published data we have charactised APC within adult skin and blood. Here we extend these findings, by increasing the sample for skin CD14+ DC and CD1c+ DC and performing gene array analysis of adult spleen CD14+ DC, CD141+DC and CD1c+ DC. Once, we were confident we could clearly distinguish our populations (CD14+ cell, CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC) of interest from other cells, we sorted FACS purified the cells and prepared them for gene array analysis. Through generating subset specific gene signatures and comparing CMAP scores we confirmed we had identified equivalent APC subsets across human adult skin and spleen.
