NKp46 regulates type 1 innate lymphoid cell proliferation and function and anti-acute myeloid leukemia activity

ABSTRACT: NKp46 is a critical regulator of natural killer (NK) cell immunity, but its function in non-NK innate immune cells remains unclear. Here, we show that NKp46 is indispensable for expressing IL-2 receptor-α (IL-2Rα) by non-NK liver-resident type-1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). Deletion of NKp46 reduces IL-2Rα on ILC1s by downregulating NF-κB signaling, thus impairing ILC1 proliferation and cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Likewise, the binding of anti-NKp46 antibody to NKp46 triggers the activation of NF-κB, the expression of IL-2Rα, interferon- γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), proliferation, and cytotoxicity. Functionally, NKp46 expressed on mouse ILC1s interacts with tumor cells through cell–cell contact, increasing ILC1 production of IFN-γ and TNF, and enhancing cytotoxicity. In a mouse model of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), deletion of NKp46 impairs the ability of ILC1s to control tumor growth and reduces survival. This can be reversed by injecting NKp46+ ILC1s into NKp46 knock-out mice. Human NKp46+ ILC1s exhibit stronger cytokine production and cytotoxicity than their NKp46 counterparts, suggesting that NKp46 plays a similar role in humans. These findings identify an NKp46–NF-κB–IL-2Rα axis and suggest that activating NKp46 with an anti-NKp46 antibody, may provide a potential strategy for anti-tumor innate immunity.

Multi-tissue Single-Cell Analysis Deconstructs the Complexities of Mouse NK-ILC1 Programs

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are a heterogenous group of T-bet+ innate cells that produce IFN-γ and are broadly defined as lineage–NK1.1+NKp46+ cells in mice. ILC1s definition primarily stems from studies on liver-resident and small intestinal populations. However, ILC1s in many anatomical sites, including visceral adipose tissue, salivary glands, and uterus, exhibit non-uniform programs that do not adequately overlap with those of liver or gut ILC1s or NK cells. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on murine NK1.1+NKp46+ cells from blood, spleen, lymph nodes, liver, salivary gland, uterus, visceral adipose tissue, small intestines, and several solid tumors. By including cells from an array of niches we defined tissue-specific ILC1 subsets. Moreover, we found a significant heterogeneity of circulating NK cells, due to a spectrum of proliferating, effector and migration programs, which was reduced in tumor-bearing mice, demonstrating repertoire reshaping in response to diseased conditions.

scRNAseq of human blood, tonsil, lung and small intestine innate lymphoid cells

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.

Differential roles of ROR gamma-t in the development of NKp46+ spleen (LTIL) cells and NKp46+ NK cells in gut and skin

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are NKp46+CD3- lymphocytes that can perform granule-dependent cytotoxicity and produce interferon-gamma, when isolated from blood, lymphoid organs, lung, liver and uterus. Here we identify in dermis, gut lamina propria and cryptopatches, very distinct populations of NKp46+CD3- cells with reduced ability to degranulate and to produce interferon-gamma. In gut, the transcription factor RORgamma-t and CD127 (IL-7R alpha) defined a novel subset of NKp46+CD3- that is reminiscent of lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like cells. Gut ROR gamma t+NKp46+ cells produced IL-22 in contrast to ROR-gamma t-independent lamina propria and dermis NK cells. These data show that LTi-like cells and NK cells share unanticipated similarities and reveal the heterogeneity of NKp46+CD3- cells in innate immunity, lymphoid organization and local tissue repair.

Cytotoxic Innate Lymphoid Cells Sense Cancer Cell-Expressed Interleukin-15 to Suppress Human and Murine Malignancies

Project description:Malignancy can be suppressed by the immune system. However, the classes of immunosurveillance responses and their mode of tumor sensing remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that while clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was infiltrated by exhaustion-phenotype CD8+ T cells which negatively correlated with patient prognosis, chromophobe RCC had abundant infiltration of granzyme A-expressing intraepithelial type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) that positively associated with patient survival. Interleukin-15 (IL-15) promoted ILC1 granzyme A expression and cytotoxicity, and IL-15 expression in chRCC tumor tissue positively tracked with the ILC1 response. An ILC1 gene signature also predicted survival of a subset of breast cancer patients in association with IL-15 expression. Notably, ILC1s directly interacted with cancer cells, and IL-15 produced by cancer cells supported the expansion and anti-tumor function of ILC1s in a murine breast cancer model. Thus, ILC1 sensing of cancer cell IL-15 defines an immunosurveillance mechanism of epithelial malignancies.

SMAD4 impedes conversion of NK cells into ILC1-like cells by curtailing non-canonical TGFb signaling (human data sets)

Project description:Among the features that distinguish type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) from NK cells is a gene signature indicative of TGFb-family cytokine imprinting. To assess the impact of TGFb family cytokines on ILC1 differentation, we examined SMAD4- a transcription factor that facilitates the signaling pathway common to all TGFb family cytokines-was specifically ablated in ILCs and NK cells. While SMAD4 deficiency did not affect ILC1 differentation, NK cells paradoxically aquired an ILC1-like gene signature and were incapable of controlling tumor metastasis and viral infection. We used microarray to compare the transcriptional differences between human blood NK cells. NK cells from a patient with a deleterious SMAD4 mutation or control NK cells were cultured overnight with either IL-2 alone or TGFb1 and IL-2.

Hobit confers tissue dependent programs to type 1 innate lymphoid cells

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.

Genome Wide Chromatin Mapping of Aiolos accessability and H3K27ac histone modifications in transfected MNK3 cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes subdivided into ILC1s, ILC2s and ILC3s based on core regulatory programs and signature cytokines secreted. ILCs exhibit functional plasticity: for instance, human IL-22-producing ILC3s convert into IFN-γ-producing ILC1-like in vitro. Whether this conversion occurs in vivo is unclear. Using flow cytometry, mass cytometry and scRNAseq, here we found that ILC3s and ILC1s occupy opposite ends of a spectrum including discrete subsets in human tonsils. RNA velocity suggested strong directionality toward ILC1s for one ILC3-ILC1 intermediate cluster. Clonal analysis revealed graded ability of ILC3-ILC1 subsets to convert into ILC1-like cells. When examined in humanized mice, ILC3 acquisition of ILC1 features showed tissue-dependency. In chromatin studies, Aiolos emerged as a nuclear factor that cooperates with Tbet to repress evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements active in ILC3s. The human intestine also exhibited an ILC3–ILC1 transitional population. We conclude that conversion of ILC3s to ILC1-like occurs in vivo in human tissues, and that tissue factors and Aiolos are crucial for this process.
