Gene expression (RNA-Seq) analysis of primary human T cells reveals novel genes associated with Th2 memory differentiation and asthma susceptibility

ABSTRACT: A characteristic feature of asthma is the aberrant accumulation, differentiation or function of memory CD4+ T cells that produce Th2 cytokines (Th2 cells). By comparing gene expression profiles of T cell subsets isolated from peripheral blood of healthy and asthmatic individuals, we identified genes with known and potential roles in the normal differentiation of human Th1 and Th2 cells.

Transcriptional profiling of TH2 cells identifies pathogenic features associated with asthma

Project description:Allergic asthma and rhinitis are two common chronic allergic diseases that affect the lungs and nose, respectively. Both diseases share clinical and pathological features characteristic of excessive allergen-induced type 2 inflammation, orchestrated by memory CD4+ T cells that produce type 2 cytokines (TH2 cells). However, a large majority of subjects with allergic rhinitis do not develop asthma, suggesting divergence in disease mechanisms. Since TH2 cells play a pathogenic role in both these diseases and are also present in healthy non-allergic subjects, we performed global transcriptional profiling to determine whether there are qualitative differences in TH2 cells from subjects with allergic asthma, rhinitis and healthy controls. TH2 cells from asthmatic subjects expressed higher levels of several genes that promote their survival as well as alter their metabolic pathways to favor persistence at sites of allergic inflammation. In addition, genes that enhanced TH2 polarization and TH2 cytokine production were also upregulated in asthma. Several genes that oppose T cell activation were downregulated in asthma, suggesting enhanced activation potential of TH2 cells from asthmatic subjects. Many novel genes with poorly defined functions were also differentially expressed in asthma. Thus, our transcriptomic analysis of circulating TH2 cells has identified several molecules that are likely to confer pathogenic features to TH2 cells that are either unique or common to both asthma and rhinitis.

NRF2 is a spatiotemporal metabolic hub driving the polyfunctionality of Th2 cells in allergic asthma

Project description:Polyfunctional Th2 cells play a crucial role in triggering diverse pathogenic responses in allergic diseases by producing multiple cytokines. However, the precise mechanism underlying their polyfunctionality remains elusive. In this study, we elucidate the pivotal role of Nrf2 in polyfunctional Th2 cells during allergic asthma. We found that an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in immune cells infiltrating the lungs is necessary for the development of eosinophilic asthma. Deletion of the ROS sensor Nrf2 specifically in T cells, but not in dendritic cells, significantly abolished eosinophilia and polyfunctional Th2 cells in the airway. Mechanistically, Nrf2 intrinsic to T cells is essential for inducing optimal oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis capacity, thereby driving Th2 cell polyfunctionality, partially by inducing PPARγ, independently of IL-33. Treatment with an Nrf2 inhibitor leads to a substantial decrease in polyfunctional Th2 cells and subsequent eosinophilia in mice, and a reduction in the production of Th2 cytokines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in asthmatic patients. These findings highlight the critical role of Nrf2 as a spatial and temporal metabolic hub that is essential for polyfunctional Th2 cells, suggesting potential therapeutic implications for allergic diseases.

NRF2 is a spatiotemporal metabolic hub driving the polyfunctionality of Th2 cells in allergic asthma

Project description:Polyfunctional T cell responses are detrimental in immune disorders; however, it is unclear how effector T cell subsets acquire polyfunctionality in tissues. Here, we demonstrate that the activation of Nrf2 is necessary for the differentiation polyfunctional Th2 cells in vivo. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are significantly elevated in lung-infiltrating immune cells during allergic asthma, and inhibiting either ROS or Nrf2 significantly decreases eosinophilia and polyfunctional Th2 cells in the lung. In vivo studies using multiple cell-type specific Nrf2-deficient mice and mixed bone marrow chimeras revealed that cell-intrinsic Nrf2 drives IL-5 and IL-13 expression in Th2 cells independently of IL-33. Mechanistically, Nrf2 promotes optimal OXPHOS and glycolysis capacity by inducing PPARg expression and glucose uptake to drive polyfunctionality of Th2 cells. Blocking Nrf2 reduces IL-5 and IL-13 production from house dust mite allergen-specific Th2 cells obtained from asthma patients. These findings demonstrate that Nrf2 acts as a spatiotemporal metabolic hub driving the differentiation of polyfunctional Th2 cells, which may have therapeutic implications for controlling allergic lung inflammation.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen reveals a key role for integrin avb3 in TH2 cell polarisation [CRISPRscr]

Project description:T helper 2 (TH2) cells play critical roles in protective immunity against parasitic helminth infections and in tissue repair. However, misdirected TH2 cell responses promote allergy and asthma. Using whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 screens in developing TH2 cells we defined a functional TH2ome for TH2 differentiation and validated a diverse array of molecules not previously linked to TH2 cell development and function. Strikingly, we discovered that integrin avb3 plays a key and previously unappreciated role in the differential polarisation of TH2 cells and their type 2 cytokine expression. Conversely, we did not identify the LFA-1 integrin which mediates inside-out signalling following TCR ligation as part of the T cell synapse and preferentially promotes TH1 differentiation. We find that TH2 cell expression of integrin avb3 is required for the formation of TH2 cell clusters that exhibit enhanced T cell activation, promoting proliferation and TH2 cell differentiation, and thereby potentiating antigen-driven TH2 cell responses.

Identification of novel regulators of Th2 cells in HDM model (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Naïve CD4 T cells differentiate into functionally diverse subsets of T helper (Th) cells. Gene expression profiling has the capacity to pinpoint factors that regulate subset differentiation and function, however obtaining transcriptional profiles of pure populations has been challenging. We performed single cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) of T helper cells from lymph node, lung and airways in a mouse model of asthma. scRNA-Seq resolved transcriptional profiles of naïve CD4 T, Th1, Th2, Treg cells and various activated states including a population responding to type I interferons. A trajectory for Th2 cell differentiation was delineated over time, with Th2 cells acquiring follicular T helper cell characteristics in the lung-draining lymph node before undergoing further modifications in the lung. A feature of airway Th2 cells was their enrichment for genes associated with lipid metabolism and experiments with blockers of key metabolic pathways supported roles for glucose and lipid metabolism in Th2 cell differentiation.
