Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are cytotoxic and interferon gamma-producing lymphocytes lacking antigen-specific receptors, which include ILC1s and natural killer (NK) cells. In mice, ILC1s differ from NK cells, as they develop independently of the NK-specifying transcription factor EOMES, while requiring the repressor ZFP683 (ZNF683 in humans) for tissue residency. Here we identify highly variable ILC1 subtypes across tissues through investigation of human ILC1 diversity by single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry. The intestinal epithelium contained abundant mature EOMES− ILC1s expressing PRDM1 rather than ZNF683, alongside a few immature TCF7+PRDM1− ILC1s. Other tissues harbored NK cells expressing ZNF683 and EOMES transcripts; however, EOMES protein content was variable. These ZNF683+ NK cells are tissue-imprinted NK cells phenotypically resembling ILC1s. The tissue ILC1-NK spectrum also encompassed conventional NK cells and NK cells distinguished by PTGDS expression. These findings establish a foundation for evaluating phenotypic and functional changes within the NK-ILC1 spectrum in diseases.

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) encompass NK cells and ILC1s which have non-redundant roles in host protection against pathogens and cancer. Despite their circulating nature, NK cells can establish residency in selected tissues during ontogeny, forming a distinct functional subset. The mechanisms that initiate, maintain, and regulate the conversion of NK cells into tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells are currently not well understood. Here, we identify autocrine transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) as a cell-autonomous driver for NK cell tissue-residency across multiple glandular tissues during development. Cell-intrinsic production of TGF-β was continuously required for the maintenance of trNK cells and synergized with Hobit to enhance cytotoxic function. Whereas autocrine TGF-β was redundant in tumors, our study revealed that NK cell-derived TGF-β allowed expansion of cytotoxic trNK cells during local infection with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) and contributed to viral control in the salivary gland. Collectively, our findings reveal tissue-specific regulation of trNK cell differentiation and function by autocrine TGF-β1, which is relevant for anti-viral immunity.

Project description:Unlike many other hematologic malignancies, Richter syndrome (RS), an aggressive B cell lymphoma originating from indolent chronic lymphocytic leukemia, is responsive to PD-1 blockade. To discover the determinants of response, we analyzed single-cell transcriptome data generated from 17 bone marrow samples longitudinally collected from 6 RS patients. Response was associated with intermediate exhausted CD8 effector/effector memory T cells marked by high expression of the transcription factor ZNF683, determined to be evolving from stem-like memory cells and divergent from terminally exhausted cells. This signature overlapped with that of tumor-infiltrating populations from PD-1 responsive solid tumors. ZNF683 was found to directly target key T cell genes (TCF7, LMO2, CD69) and impact pathways of T cell cytotoxicity and activation. Analysis of pre-treatment peripheral blood from 10 independent RS PD-1 treated patients, as well as solid tumor PD-1 treated patients, supported an association of ZNF683high T cells with response.

Project description:Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid cells, notably megakaryocytes (MKs), and aberrant cytokine production leading to bone marrow (BM) fibrosis and insufficiency. Current treatment options are limited. TGF-b1, a profibrotic and immunosuppressive cytokine, is involved in PMF pathogenesis. While all cell types secrete inactive, latent TGF-b1, only a few activate the cytokine via cell type-specific mechanisms. The cellular source of the active TGF-b1 implicated in PMF is not known. Transmembrane protein GARP binds and activates latent TGF-b1 on the surface of regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) and MKs or platelets. Here, we found increased expression of GARP in BM and spleen of mice undergoing PMF and tested the therapeutic potential of a monoclonal antibody that blocks TGF-b1 activation by GARP-expressing cells. GARP:TGF-b1 blockade reduced not only fibrosis, but also clonal expansion of transformed cells. Using mice carrying a genetic deletion of Garp in either Tregs or MKs, we found that the therapeutic effects of GARP:TGF-b1 blockade in PMF imply targeting GARP on Tregs. These therapeutic effects, accompanied by increased IFN-g signals in the spleen, were lost upon CD8 T cell depletion. Our results suggest that selective blockade of TGF-b1 activation by GARP-expressing Tregs increase a CD8 T cell-mediated immune reaction that limits transformed cell expansion, providing a novel approach that could be tested to treat patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Project description:The Forkhead family of transcription factors comprises numerous members and is implicated in various cellular functions, including cell growth, apoptosis, migration and differentiation.In this study we identified the Forkhead factor FoxQ1 as increased in expression during TGF-beta1 induced changes in epithelial differentiation, suggesting functional roles of FoxQ1 for epithelial plasticity.The repression of FoxQ1 in mammary epithelial cells led to a change in cell morphology characterized by an increase in cell size, pronounced cell-cell contacts and an increased expression of several junction proteins (e.g. E-cadherin). In addition, FoxQ1 knock-down cells revealed rearrangements in the actin-cytoskeleton and slowed down cell cycle G1-phase progression.Furthermore, repression of FoxQ1 enhanced the migratory capacity of coherent mammary epithelial cells.Gene expression profiling of NM18 cells indicated that FoxQ1 is a relevant downstream mediator of TGF-beta1 induced gene expression changes. This included the differential expression of transcription factors involved in epithelial plasticity, e.g. Ets-1, Zeb1 and Zeb2.In summary, this study has elucidated the functional impact of FoxQ1 on epithelial differentiation Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 1:2h_co._total1, Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 2:2h_co._total2, Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 3 :2h_co._total3, Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 1: 2h_co._enriched1, Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 2: 2h_co._enriched2, Cells treated with 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 3:2h_co._enriched3, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 1:2h_TGFbeta_total1, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 2:2h_TGFbeta_total2, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h, biological replicate 3:2h_TGFbeta_total3, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 1:2h_TGFbeta_enriched1, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 2:2h_TGFbeta_enriched2, Cells treated with 5 ng/ml TGF-b1 and 200µM 4sU for 2h and enriched for 4sU labelled RNA, biological replicate 3:2h_TGFbeta_enriched3, FoxQ1 dataset Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs, biological replicate 1:ns-siRNA 48hrs 1, Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs, biological replicate 2:ns-siRNA 48hrs 2, Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs, biological replicate 3:ns-siRNA 48hrs 3, Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 1:ns-siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 1, Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 2:ns-siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 2, Cells transfected with 25nm scrambled siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 3:ns-siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 3, Cells transfected with 25nm FoxQ1 siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 1:FoxQ1 siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 1, Cells transfected with 25nm FoxQ1 siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 2:FoxQ1 siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 2 Cells transfected with 25nm FoxQ1 siRNA for 48hrs and treated with TGF-b1 for 40hrs biological replicate 3:FoxQ1 siRNA 48hrs TGF-b1 40hrs 3

Project description:Innate responses against viral infection and other intracellular pathogens rely on immune cells that are capable of lysing infected cells and producing interferon-gamma (IFNγ). These cells encompass two major cell lineages: natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). While NK cells have been extensively characterized, identification of ILC1s and their distinction from NK cells is less clear. The transcription factor Hobit encoded by Zfp683 has been put forth as a prototypic feature of ILC1s. By analyzing Zfp683 reporter, fate-map and deficient mice, we demonstrate that the impact of Hobit on ILC1 identity, transcriptional and functional programs is tissue- and context-dependent. Thus, ILC1s functionally adapt to local stimuli and tailor their responses to the tissue niche.

Project description:NK cells are lymphocytes that provide a first defense against viral infections and cancer. They act (i) cytotoxic by killing virus-infected and tumorigenic cells and (ii) immune regulatory by releasing cytokines and chemokines. These innate immune cells are commonly further classified as CD56bright and CD56dim NK cells. Former studies confirmed immune regulatory CD56bright NK cells as progenitors of cytotoxic CD56dim NK cells. CD57 was previously described as T cell marker for senescence and terminal differentiation. Recent studies detected CD57+ and CD57- NK cells among the CD56dim NK cell population and suggested a fully mature developmental status for CD57+ NK cells. The recent NK cell maturation model includes CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which develop into CD56bright NK cells, later into CD56dimCD57- and finally into terminally maturated CD56dimCD57+ (1) (2) (3). The molecular mechanisms of human NK cell differentiation and maturation remain unknown to this date. We performed for the first time a proteomic analysis of these distinct developmental stages of human primary NK cells, isolated from overall 10 healthy human blood donors. CD56bright NK cells versusCD56dim and CD56dimCD57- versus CD56dimCD57+ NK cells were analyzed by using quantitative peptide sequencing, which revealed individual protein signatures (3400 proteins) of these different NK cell developmental stages. Notably, our data support the current NK cell differentiation model by highlighting both strong distinctions between CD56dim/bright NK cells and close relationships between CD57+/- NK cells on the proteomic level. Among the most prominent and conserved regulated proteins, we detected myosin IIa, Calvasculin and Calcyclin with very similar expression patterns. We investigated their sub-cellular localization and observed specific recruitment- and accumulation-events at the NK cell immunological synapse (NKIS) after NK activation.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a major role in immunosurveillance against tumor initiation and metastasis spread. Signals and checkpoints that regulate NK cell fitness and function in the tumor microenvironment are not well defined. Transforming grow factor (TGF)- is a recognized suppressor of NK cells that inhibits IL-15 dependent signaling events and induces cellular transdifferentiation, however the role of other SMAD signaling pathways in NK cells is unknown. We used a global, label-free proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of NK cells in the presence of TGF-b or activin-A.

Project description:TGF-b1-stimulation induces an epithelial dedifferentiation-process, throughout which epithelial cell sheets disintegrate and gradually switch into fibroblastic-appearing cells (EMT-like transition). Several transcription factors, some of them being TGF-b1-responsive, are functionally involved in such a switch and affect epithelial differentiation and plasticity. We used microarray-based gene expression profiling of mammary epithelial cells that actively undergo TGF-b1-induced epithelial dedifferentiation. Further, we determined gene expression changes in Basonuclin-1 knock-down cells in conjunction with TGF-b1-stimulation in order to determine a possible effect of Bnc1 on TGF-b1-responsive genes. Cells were transfected with non-silencing (control) siRNA or siRNA against Basonuclin-1 (Bnc1) for 24hrs. Subsequently, cells were treated with 5ng/ml TGF-b1 or left untreated for additional 24hrs. The experiments were performed as independent biological triplicate.
