Autocrine TGF-β1 drives tissue-specific differentiation and function of resident NK cells

ABSTRACT: 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.

Tissue-Resident Natural Killer (NK) Cells Are Cell Lineages Distinct From Thymic and Conventional Splenic NK Cells (part 1)

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells belong to the innate immune system where they can control virus infections and developing tumors by cytotoxicity and production of inflammatory cytokines. Most studies of mouse NK cells, however, have focused on conventional NK (cNK) cells found in the spleen. Recently, we described two populations of NK cells within the liver, tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells and those resembling splenic cNK cells. However, the lineage relationship of trNK to cNK cells was unclear because trNK cells display a phenotype associated with immature, developing cNK cells. Moreover, liver trNK cells could be related to thymic NK cells or alternatively, a lineage distinct from both cNK and thymic NK cells. Herein we used detailed transcriptomic, flow cytometric, and functional analysis of mice deficient in several transcription factors to determine that liver trNK cells form a distinct lineage from cNK and thymic NK cells, especially because they do not require NFIL3 (E4BP4), the previously described NK cellspecification factor. Analysis of other tissues indicate the presence of trNK cells in skin and uterus with different transcription factor requirements. Thus, there are at least four distinct lineages of NK cells: cNK, thymic, liver (and skin) trNK, and uterine trNK cells. Liver NK 1.1+CD49+, liver NK 1.1+CD49-, spleen NK 1.1+ CD49- populations of NK cells were sorted with FACS pooling cells from individual mice to end up with ~100k cells for each samples. mRNA was derived from lysates using Invitrogen oligo-dT beads

Cellular Mechanisms of Fatal Early-Onset Autoimmunity in Mice with the T Cell-Specific Targeting of TGFβ Receptor

Project description:Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has been implicated in the control of differentiation and proliferation of multiple cell types. However, a role for TGF-β in the control of immune homeostasis is not fully understood because of its pleiotropic action. Here we report that complete ablation of the TGF-β signaling in T cells engendered aggressive early-onset, multiorgan, autoimmune-associated lesions with 100% mortality. Peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with TGF-β-receptor II (TGF-βRII) deficiency activated cytolytic and T helper 1 (Th1) differentiation program in a cell-intrinsic T cell receptor (TCR)-specific fashion. Furthermore, TGF-βRII deficiency blocked the development of canonical CD1d-restricted NKT cells. Instead, it facilitated generation of a highly pathogenic T cell subset exhibiting multiple hallmarks of NK cells and sharply elevated amounts of FasL, perforin, granzymes, and interferon-γ. Thus, TGF-β signaling in peripheral T cells is crucial in restraining TCR activation-dependent Th1, cytotoxic, and NK cell-like differentiation program which, when left unchecked, leads to rapidly progressing fatal autoimmunity.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of mouse natural killer cells isolated from the bone marrow

Project description:A large gap in our understanding of infant immunity is why natural killer (NK) cell responses are deficient, which makes infants more prone to viral infection. Here we demonstrate that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) was responsible for NK cell immaturity during infancy. We found more fully mature NK cells in CD11cdnR mice, whose NK cells lack TGF-beta receptor (TGF-beta R) signaling. Ontogenic maturation of NK cells progressed faster in the absence of TGF-beta signaling, which results in the formation of a mature NK cell pool early in life. As a consequence, infant CD11cdnR mice efficiently controlled viral infections. These data thus demonstrate an unprecedented role for TGF-beta in ontogeny that can explain why NK cell responses are deficient early in life. Bone marrow cells were isolated from CD11cdnR (TG) and wild-type (WT) mice, and NK cells were sorted at different stages of development (stages D, E, and F) using BD Biosciences FACSAria. mNK cells from stages D, E, and F were obtained from three cell sorting analyses with samples pooled from n = 12 CD11cdnR and 25 WT mice. Equal amounts of total RNA from each stage was pooled prior to gene expression analysis. RNA was prepared using the RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen), and cDNA was obtained using the standard protocol of reverse transcription. A customized StellARay cell cycle qPCR array (Lonza) was used. Quantitative gene expression analysis (quantitative PCR) was conducted on an ABI Prism 7900 instrument (Applied Biosystems).

Retinoic acid and TGF-β orchestrate organ-specific programs of tissue-residency [dnRA_Antag]

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are integral to tissue immunity, persisting in diverse anatomical sites where they adhere to a common transcriptional framework. How these cells integrate distinct local cues to adopt the common TRM cell fate remains poorly understood. Here, we show that while skin TRM cells strictly require TGF-β for tissue residency, those in other locations utilize the metabolite retinoic acid (RA) to drive an alternative differentiation pathway, directing a TGF-β-independent tissue residency program in the liver and synergizing with TGF-β to drive the TRM cells in the small intestine.
