Transforming growth factor-β and Notch ligands act as opposing environmental cues in the plasticity of type 3 innate lymphoid cells

ABSTRACT: Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are composed of NCR- and NCR+ subsets located at mucosal sites exposed to billions of commensal microbes and potentially harmful pathogens. Together with T cells, the various ILC3 subsets maintain the balance between homeostasis and immune activation. Using genetic mapping, we reveal here the existence of a new subset of NCR- ILC3 transiently expressing Ncr1 but strongly related to unlabeled NCR- ILC3, demonstrating previously unsuspected heterogeneity within the NCR- ILC3 population. Notch signaling is required for the differentiation of NCR- ILC3 into NCR+ ILC3. However, we show here that Notch signaling must be sustained for the maintenance of the NCR+ phenotype and that TGF-β impairs the development of NCR+ ILC3. Thus, ILC3 diversity and the plasticity of the NCR- and NCR+ subsets is regulated by the balance between the opposing effects of Notch and TGF-β signaling, maintaining homeostasis in the face of continual challenges.

Complementarity and redundancy of IL-22-producing innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Homeostasis of the gut microbiota is pivotal to the survival of the host. Intestinal T cells and Innate Lymphoid cells (ILCs) control the composition of the microbiota and respond to its perturbations. Interleukin 22 (IL-22) plays a pivotal role in the immune control of gut commensal and pathogenic bacteria and is secreted by a heterogeneous population of intestinal T cells, NCR- ILC3 and NCR+ILC3. Expression of NCR by ILC3 is believed to define an irreversible effector ILC3 end-state fate in which these cells are key to control of bacterial infection via their production of IL-22. Here we identify the core transcriptional signature that drives the differentiation of NCR- ILC3 into NCR+ ILC3 and reveal that NCR+ILC3 exhibit more plasticity than originally thought, as NCR+ ILC3 can revert to NCR- ILC3. Contrary to the prevailing understanding of NCR+ ILC3 genesis and function, in vivo analyses of mice conditionally deleted of the key ILC3 genes Stat3, Il22, Tbet and Mcl1 demonstrated that NCR+ ILC3 were not essential for the control of colonic infections in the presence of T cells. However, NCR+ ILC3 were mandatory for homeostasis of the caecum. Our data identify that the interplay of intestinal T cells and ILC3 results in robust complementary fail-safe mechanisms that ensure gut homeostasis.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells continuously require the transcription factor GATA3 after commitment

Project description:GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7RÎ±-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) and type 2 ILCs (ILC2s). However, the importance of low GATA3 expression in type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) is still elusive. Here, we report that GATA3 regulates homeostasis of ILC3s by controlling IL-7RÎ± expression. In addition, GATA3 is critical for the development of NKp46+ ILC3 subset partially through regulating the balance between T-bet and RORÎ³t. Genome-wide analyses indicate that while GATA3 positively regulates CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3 subset-specific genes in respective lineages, it negatively regulates CCR6+ ILC3-specific genes in NKp46+ ILC3s. Furthermore, GATA3 regulates IL-22 production in both CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3s. Thus, low GATA3 expression is critical for the development and function of ILC3 subsets. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in total ILC3s with RNA-Seq; To identify unique genes expressed by CCR6+ ILC3 or NKp46+ ILC3 and GATA3 regulated genes within these two ILC3 subsets with RNA-Seq; To identify GATA3 direct binding sites in ILC3s, ILC2s and Th2 cells with ChIP-Seq.

Bcl6 is a subset defining transcription factor of Lymphoid Tissue inducer-like ILC3

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are tissue-resident effector cells with important roles in tissue homeostasis, protective immunity and inflammatory disease. Current nomenclature divides ILC into subsets based on the expression of master transcription factors and effector cytokine programs. In mucosal barrier tissues, group 3 ILC (ILC3) have been defined by the expression of the master transcription factor RORgt. However, ILC3 can be further subdivided into two major subsets – natural cytotoxicity receptor-expressing (NCR+) ILC3 and lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like ILC3 which share type 3 effector modules but also exhibit significant ontological, transcriptional, phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. In particular, LTi-like ILC3 exhibit effector functions not typically associated with other RORgt-expressing lymphocytes, provoking the hypothesis that other master transcription factors may contribute to LTi-like ILC3 biology. Here we identify Bcl6 as an LTi-like ILC3 associated transcription factor in both mice and humans. Deletion of Bcl6 led to dysregulation of the LTi-like ILC3 transcriptional program and changes to subset-specific phenotypic markers and effector functions. Strikingly, loss of Bcl6 enhanced expression of the type 3 effector cytokines IL-17A and IL-17F in LTi-like ILC3, which was found to be in part dependent upon the commensal microbiota. Together these findings implicate Bcl6 as an ILC3 subset-defining transcription factor and part of a network that confers phenotype and function on LTi-like ILC3. Our study further provides a missing link to redefine analogous immune modules in innate and adaptive lymphocyte responses.

Group 3 innate lymphoid cells continuously require the transcription factor GATA3 after commitment

Project description:GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Rα-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) and type 2 ILCs (ILC2s). However, the importance of low GATA3 expression in type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) is still elusive. Here, we report that GATA3 regulates homeostasis of ILC3s by controlling IL-7Rα expression. In addition, GATA3 is critical for the development of NKp46+ ILC3 subset partially through regulating the balance between T-bet and RORγt. Genome-wide analyses indicate that while GATA3 positively regulates CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3 subset-specific genes in respective lineages, it negatively regulates CCR6+ ILC3-specific genes in NKp46+ ILC3s. Furthermore, GATA3 regulates IL-22 production in both CCR6+ and NKp46+ ILC3s. Thus, low GATA3 expression is critical for the development and function of ILC3 subsets.

Gut Adaptation of Ahr Expression Cell-intrinsically Restricts Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Function

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important for mucosal immunity. The intestine harbors all ILC subsets; however, how these cells orchestrate each other to achieve immune homeostasis and mount appropriate immunity during infection remains elusive. Here, we show that the adaptation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) expression in the gut is a key regulatory mode for the host to keep the ILC balance. Among ILCs, Ahr is most highly expressed by gut ILC2, and controls in a positive feedback manner, chromatin accessibility at the Ahr gene locus. Ahr suppresses Gfi1-mediated ST2 expression in ILC2 and expression of ILC2 effector molecules IL-5, IL-13 and amphiregulin in a cell-intrinsic manner. Ablation of Ahr enhances anti-helminth immunity in the gut, while genetic or pharmacological activation of Ahr suppresses ILC2 but enhances ILC3 to protect the host from Citrobacter rodentium infection. Thus, the host regulates the gut ILC2-ILC3 balance by engaging the Ahr pathway to mount appropriate immunity against various pathogens.

Comprehensive protein-expression map of ILC2 and ILC3 subsets in healthy human skin

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have emerged as essential players in the skin-associated immune system in health and inflammatory skin diseases. Their low numbers and lack of specific markers hampered extensive characterization and consequently resulted in limited knowledge of their protein expression. Here, we combined flow cytometry and state-of-the-art proteomics to comprehensively describe the proteins constitutively expressed by ILC2 and ILC3 subsets derived from healthy human skin and peripheral blood. We quantified 6666 proteins from skin ILC and identified 608 differentially expressed proteins in the investigated subsets. In addition to the current analyses, highlighting new functions of ILC, the ILC proteomic libraries and the proteomes of the ILC2 and ILC3 subsets will serve as valuable resources for future analyses of ILC function and are available at http://skin.science.

IL-15 sustains IL-7R independent ILC2 and ILC3 development

Project description:ILC3 contain 3 well-defined subsets, CCR6+ ILC3, NKp46+ ILC3, and CCR6–NKp46– DN ILC3. These subsets had not previously been transcriptionally compared and the extent to which they had shared or unique transcriptional profiles remained unclear. We used microarray to determine transcriptional differences between these 3 subsets and to find putative factors that support the survival of CCR6+ ILC3 during cytokine depletion.

Human RORM-NM-3t+ CD34+ cells are lineage-specified progenitors of group 3 RORM-NM-3t+ innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are defined by the expression of RORM-NM-3t, which is selectively required for their development. The lineage-specified progenitor cells of human ILC3 and their developmental site after birth remain undefined. Here we identified a novel population of human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) expressing RORM-NM-3t and sharing with ILC3 a distinct transcriptional signature. RORM-NM-3t+ CD34+ HPC were located in tonsils and intestinal lamina propria (LP) and selectively differentiated towards ILC3. Conversely, RORM-NM-3t- CD34+ HPC displayed commitment potential for both ILC3 and NK cells and the differentiation fate towards these two cell lineages was determined by cytokine and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling. Thus, we propose that RORM-NM-3t+ CD34+ cells represent human lineage-specified progenitors of IL-22+ ILC3 and that tonsils as well as intestinal LP might be preferential sites of their differentiation. ILC3, NK cells and the CD34+ HPC subsets were sorted from tonsils of 6 distinct donors to purity above 95%. cRNA of the sorted cell populations was hybridized to an Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarrays (8x60K v2, Design ID 039494)

Light-entrained and brain-tuned circadian circuits regulate ILC3 and gut homeostasis

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are major regulators of inflammation, infection, microbiota composition and metabolism. ILC3 and neuronal cells were shown to interact at discrete mucosal locations to steer mucosal defence. Nevertheless, whether neuroimmune circuits operate at an organismal level, integrating extrinsic environmental signals to orchestrate ILC3 responses remains elusive. Here we show that light-entrained and brain-tuned circadian circuits regulate enteric ILC3, intestinal homeostasis and the host lipid metabolism. We found that enteric ILC3 display circadian expression of clock genes and ILC3-related transcription factors. ILC3-autonomous ablation of the circadian regulator Arntl led to disrupted gut ILC3 homeostasis, impaired epithelial reactivity, deregulated microbiome, increased susceptibility to bowel infection and disrupted lipid metabolism. Loss of ILC3-intrinsic Arntl shaped the gut postcode receptors of ILC3. Strikingly, light-dark cycles, feeding rhythms and microbial cues differentially regulated ILC3 clocks, with light signals as major entraining cues of ILC3. Accordingly, surgical- and genetically-induced deregulation of brain rhythmicity led to disrupted circadian ILC3 oscillations, deregulated microbiome and altered lipid metabolism. Our work reveals a circadian circuitry that translates environmental light cues into enteric ILC3, shaping intestinal health and organismal homeostasis.
