Iron controls the development of airway hyperreactivity by regulating ILC2 metabolism and effector function

ABSTRACT: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) rapidly induce a type 2 inflammation in the lungs in response to allergens. Here, we focused on the role of iron – a critical nutritional trace element – on ILC2 function and asthma pathogenesis. In the lungs, transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) is rapidly upregulated and functional during ILC2 activation, while blocking transferrin uptake reduces ILC2 expansion and activation. Iron deprivation reprograms ILC2 metabolism, inducing a HIF-1a-driven upregulation of glycolysis and inhibition of oxidative mitochondrial activity. Consequently, in vivo iron chelation or induction of hypoferremia notably reduces the development of airway hyperreactivity in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s rapidly induce TfR1 during activation, while iron deprivation reduces effector functions. Finally, we found a negative relation between circulating ILC2 TfR1 expression and airway function in cohorts of patients with asthma. Collectively, our studies define cellular iron as a critical regulator of ILC2 function.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.

Epigenome analysis reveals novel aspects of ILC2 activation and supports a pathogenic role in asthma

Project description:Recent studies have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can drive eosinophilic airway inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Moreover, elevated ILC2 counts and/or activity have been reported in asthmatics, together suggesting that ILC2s play an important role in asthma pathophysiology. However, many aspects of ILC2 biology are not fully understood, including the mechanisms underlying ILC2 activation, the tissue-specific functions of ILC2s during inflammation (e.g. lung versus draining lymph node) and what drives ILC2 plasticity. Importantly, it is unknown whether human (epi)genetic variation associated with asthma susceptibility and persistence can be coupled to ILC2s. We address these questions in our manuscript by studying the epigenome of murine ILC2s obtained from Gata3-reporter mice with eosinophilic airway inflammation as well as human ILC2s obtained from peripheral blood and activated in vitro.

Blocking CD226 regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.

Epigenome analyses implicate ILC2s as key mediators of allergic airway inflammation

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid (ILC2) cells are major producers of the cytokines that drive allergic asthma and elevated levels of ILC2s have been detected in the blood and sputum of asthma patients. Asthma susceptibility has strong (epi)genetic components, but the underlying mechanisms and whether they are linked to ILC2 biology remain unclear. To reveal the molecular basis of ILC2 function in allergic airway inflammation (AAI) and assess its relevance for understanding how genetic variation affects asthma susceptibility. Gata3-IRES-YFP reporter mice were used to isolate ILC2s from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lymph nodes. Human naive ILC2s were purified from peripheral blood and activated in vitro. We employed RNA-Seq, ChIPm-Seq and computational approaches to study the transcriptome and epigenome in the context of ILC2 activation, tissue-specific functions and genetic susceptibility to asthma. Activated ILC2s displayed a tissue-specific gene expression signature that emerged from a highly similar epigenome. We identify superenhancers - a class of regulatory regions susceptible to epigenetic drugs - controlling ILC2 identity and asthma-associated genes. The majority of genes implicated in asthma by genome-wide association studies resided in an active or primed state in ILC2s. A substantial number of asthma-associated genetic variants were found in ILC2 gene regulatory elements. Our genome-wide analyses reveal new potential functions for ILC2s in AAI, which possess a plastic and flexible epigenome. Importantly, we reveal a strong link between gene regulatory mechanisms in ILC2s and the (epi)genetic basis of asthma susceptibility, supporting a pathogenic role for ILC2s in human asthma.

SIRPα-CD47 axis regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity via modulating energy metabolism.

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are part of a growing family of innate lymphocytes known for their crucial role in both the development and exacerbation of allergic asthma. In this study, we aim to elucidate the critical role of the suppressor molecule signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα), which interacts with CD47, in controlling ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our data indicate that activated ILC2s upregulate the expression of SIRPα, and the interaction between SIRPα and CD47 effectively suppresses both ILC2 proliferation and effector function. To evaluate the efficacy of SIRPα in regulating ILC2-mediated AHR, we utilized SIRPα and CD47 deficient mice in a murine model of allergen-induced AHR. Our findings suggest that the absence of SIRPα leads to the overactivation of ILC2s. Conversely, engagement with SIRPα reduces ILC2 cytokine production and effectively regulates ILC2-dependent AHR. Furthermore, the SIRPα-CD47 axis modulates mitochondrial metabolism through the JAK/STAT and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways, thereby regulating NF-κB activity and the production of type two cytokines. Additionally, our studies on human cells have revealed that SIRPα is inducible and expressed on human ILC2s, and administration of a SIRPα agonist effectively suppresses the effector function and cytokine production of ILC2s. Moreover, administering human CD47-Fc to humanized ILC2 mice effectively alleviated AHR and lung inflammation. These findings highlight the promising therapeutic potential of targeting the SIRPα-CD47 axis in the treatment of ILC2-dependent allergic asthma.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of CD200R engagment on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes.

Project description:The prevalence of asthma and airway hyperreactivity (AHR) is increasing at an alarming rate. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are copious producers of type 2 cytokines, which leads to AHR and lung inflammation. In this study, we demonstrate murine ILC2s express CD200 receptor (CD200R), and this expression is inducible. We ascertain CD200R engagement inhibits activation, proliferation, and type 2 cytokine production, revealing a potent immunoregulatory role for CD200–CD200R axis on ILC2s. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CD200R engagement inhibits both canonical and non-canonical NF-B signaling pathways in activated ILC2s. Importantly, we herein design both preventative and therapeutic approaches utilizing CD200R engagement on ILC2s, which lead to improved airway resistance, dynamic compliance, and eosinophilia. Finally, our results reveal CD200R is expressed on human ILC2s, and its engagement ameliorates AHR in humanized ILC2 models, further emphasizing the translational applications of our findings for treatment of ILC2-related diseases such as allergic asthma.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of PD-1 deficiency on sorted mouse pulmonary ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Allergic asthma is a leading chronic disease associated with airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a potent source of T-helper 2 cytokines that promote AHR and lung inflammation. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of PD-1 on the development of AHR by focusing on its capacity to regulate ILC2 activation. We find that PD-1 is highly inducible in pulmonary ILC2s and shapes their transcriptional activity, activation and metabolism. Our findings provide new insights regarding the mechanisms of ILC2 regulation, which could be used in innovative approaches for the treatment of allergic asthma.

Microarray data of mouse fetal liver

Project description:Iron is essential for all cells but is toxic in excess, so iron absorption and distribution are tightly regulated. Serum iron is bound to transferrin and primarily enters erythroid cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis of the transferrin receptor (Tfr1). Tfr1 is essential for developing erythrocytes and reduced Tfr1 expression is associated with anemia. The transcription factors STAT5A/B are activated by many cytokines, including erythropoietin. Stat5a/b-/- mice are severely anemic and die perinatally, but no link has been made to iron homeostasis. To study the function of STAT5A/B in vivo, we deleted the floxed Stat5a/b locus in hematopoietic cells with a Tie2-Cre transgene. These mice exhibited microcytic, hypochromic anemia, as did lethally irradiated mice transplanted with Stat5a/b-/- fetal liver cells. Flow cytometry and RNA analyses of erythroid cells from mutant mice revealed a 50% reduction in Tfr1 mRNA and protein. We detected STAT5A/B binding sites in the first intron of the Tfr1 gene and found that expression of constitutively active STAT5A in an erythroid cell line increased Tfr1 levels. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the binding of STAT5A/B to these sites. We conclude that STAT5A/B is an important regulator of erythroid progenitor iron uptake via its control of Tfr1 transcription. Keywords: genetic modification

Expression data from WT and KO of Myc in innate lymphoid cell 2 (ILC2) in mice

Project description:Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) serve crucial function in allergy and asthma. Activated ILC2 rapidly proliferate and secret large amounts of type-2 cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13. Mechanisms underlying still remain ambiguous. Here we report that Myc is required for ILC2 proliferation and activation in allergic airway inflammation. Inhibition of Myc impair the ILC2 proliferation in vivo and prevented ILC2-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness in vivo. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of different gene expression between WT and Myc KO in ILC2.
