Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are tissue-resident effector cells with important roles in tissue homeostasis, protective immunity and inflammatory disease. Here we investigated the role of the transcription factor Bcl6 in small intestinal innate lymphoid cells. Specifically, we performed single-cell RNA-seq on total small intestine lamina propria ILCs from tamoxifen-treated Id2-CreERT2 ROSA26-tdRFP Bcl6-fl/fl mice and Id2-CreERT2 ROSA26-tdRFP controls.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are recently identified lymphocytes that limit infection and promote tissue repair at mucosal surfaces. However, the pathways underlying ILC development remain unclear. Here we show that the transcription factor NFIL3 directs the development of a committed bone marrow precursor that differentiates into all known ILC lineages. NFIL3 was required in the common lymphoid progenitor (CLP), and was essential for the differentiation of CLP, a bone marrow cell population that gives rise to all known ILC lineages. Clonal differentiation studies revealed that CXCR6+ cells within the CLP population differentiate into all ILC lineages but not T- and B-cells. We further show that NFIL3 governs ILC development by directly regulating expression of the transcription factor TOX. These findings establish that NFIL3 directs the differentiation of a committed ILC precursor that gives rise to all ILC lineages and provide insight into the defining role of NFIL3 in ILC development. This experiment is to compare gene expression profiles between wild-type and Nfil3-/- common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) cells to identify genes regulated by NFIL3. There are 6 samples in this experiment, including 3 biological replicates for wild-type CLPs and 3 biological replicates for Nfil3-/- CLPs. All mice used are on the C57BL/6 background.

Project description:Transcription factor (TF) reporter mice have proved integral to the characterization of murine innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development and function. Here, we implemented a CRISPR/Cas9-generated combinatorial reporter approach for the simultaneous resolution of several key TFs throughout ILC development in both the fetal liver and adult bone marrow. We demonstrate that the Tcf7-expressing early innate lymphoid progenitor (EILP) and the common helper innate lymphoid progenitor (CHILP) both contain a heterogeneous mixture of committed ILC and Lymphoid Tissue-inducer (LTi) precursors, rather than a shared precursor to these lineages. Moreover, the earliest specified precursor to the LTi lineage was identified upstream of these populations, prior to the expression of Tcf7. These findings match dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility associated with the expression of key TFs (ie. Gata3 and Rorc), highlighting the distinct origins of ILC and LTi lineages at the epigenetic and functional levels, and provide a revised map for ILC development.

Project description:Small intestinal innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are known to regulate intestinal epithelial cell homeostasis and to help prevent pathogenic bacterial infections, by producing IL-22. However, other functions of these cells and the lineal relationship between ILCs and lymphoid or myeloid cells have not been clear. We performed a global gene expression analysis to examine which genes are highly expressed by small intestinal ILCs (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1- cells) compared with non-ILCs (Lin-c-Kit-Sca-1- cells). To examine the gene expression profiles of ILCs within the small intestinal lamina propria (LP), we isolated Lingeage (Lin)-c-Kit+Sca-1- cells [consisting of NKp46+ ILC22 (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1-NKp46+ cells) and LTi-like ILC (Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1-CD4+ cells)] as the ILC population, and Lin-c-Kit-Sca-1- cells as the non-ILC population, from the small intestinal LP of 8 week-old mice by FACS, then compared the gene expression profiles between these two populations by microarray analysis.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We observed that a population of CD117+ ILC from peripheral blood (PB) of healthy donors does not represent any conical ILC subset, but expressed marker (CD117) commonly expressed by hemato-lymphoid progenitors. We therefore hypothesized PB CD117+ ILC might include uncommitted lymphoid precursors. In order to further understand the identity of PB CD117+ ILC, we profiled the transcriptome of highly purified circulating CD117+ ILC compared to CD34+ HSC, the latter representing immature hematopoietic progenitors with multi-lineage potential. Clear differences in gene expression profiles emerged, with a large cluster of 1540 genes expressed at substantially higher levels in CD117+ ILC. In contrast, CD34+ HSC cells highly expressed genes involved in the broad development of diverse hematopoietic lineages. Compared to HSC, CD117+ ILC express high levels of TF that have been shown to be essential for murine ILC development and we did not detect transcripts characteristic of T and B cells development. Transcriptomic analysis suggested that CD117+ ILC represent lymphoid-biased progenitors carrying a TF expression profile resembling a multi-potent ILC precursor (ILCP).

Project description:Subtypes of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), defined by effector function and transcription factor expression, have recently been identified. In the adult, ILC derive from common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow, although transcriptional regulation of the developmental pathways involved remains poorly defined. TOX is required for development of lymphoid tissue inducer cells, a type of ILC3 required for lymph node organogenesis, and NK cells, a type of ILC1. We show here that production of multiple ILC lineages requires TOX, as a result of TOX-dependent development of common ILC progenitors. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrated failure to induce various aspects of the ILC gene program in the absence of TOX, implicating this nuclear factor as a key early determinant of ILC lineage specification.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We identify ILCP that are present in the blood and all tested lymphoid and non-lymphoid human tissues. Human ILCP fail to express the signature transcription factors (TF) and cytokine outputs of mature NK cells and ILCs but are epigenetically poised to do so. Human ILCP robustly generate all ILC subsets in vitro and in vivo. While human ILCP express RAR related orphan receptor C (RORC), circulating ILCP can be found in RORC-deficient patients that retain potential for EOMES+ NK cells, T-BET+ ILC1, GATA-3+ ILC2 and for IL-22+ but not for IL-17A+ ILC3. We propose a model of tissue ILC differentiation (‘ILC-poiesis’) whereby diverse ILC subsets are generated in situ from ILCP in response to environmental stressors, inflammation and infection.

Project description:A critical problem in biology is understanding how cells choose between self-renewal and differentiation. To generate a comprehensive view of the mechanisms controlling early hematopoietic precursor self-renewal and differentiation, we used systems-based approaches and murine EML multipotential hematopoietic precursor cells as a primary model. EML cells give rise to a mixture of self-renewing Lin-SCA+CD34+ cells and partially differentiated non-renewing Lin-SCA-CD34- cells in a cell autonomous fashion. We identified and validated the HMG box protein TCF7 as a key regulator in this self-renewal/differentiation switch, and it operates in the absence of canonical Wnt signaling. We found that TCF7 is the most downregulated transcription factor when CD34+ cells switch into CD34- cells using RNA-Seq. We subsequently identified the target genes bound by TCF7 using ChIP-Seq. We show that TCF7 binds to Runx1 (Aml1) promoter region, and RUNX1 and TCF7 co-regulate. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis suggests that TCF7 primarily acts as a positive regulator of genes preferentially expressed in CD34+ cells. Consistent with this possibility, knocking-down TCF7 represses many up-regulated genes in Lin-CD34+ cells. Finally a network of up-regulated transcription factors of CD34+ cells which defines the self-renewing state was constructed. These studies in EML cells demonstrate fundamental cell-intrinsic properties of the switch between self-renewal and differentiation, and yield valuable insights for manipulating HSCs and other differentiating systems. The gene expression changes when TCF7 is knocked-down by shRNA in Lin-SCA+CD34+ cells were identified by microarray analysis of one control and two experimental samples.
