Project description:Uterine NK cells (uNK cells) form a distinct immune cell population in the endometrium and decidua. Here, we FACS-sorted KIR-CD39-,KIR+CD39- and KIR+CD39+ uNK cells from decidual samples.

Transcriptional profiling of human KIR+ and KIR- CD8 T cells by bulk RNA-seq

Project description:Previous reports show that Ly49+CD8+ T cells can suppress autoimmunity in mouse models of autoimmune diseases. Here we find a markedly increased frequency of CD8+ T cells expressing inhibitory Killer cell Immunoglobulin like Receptors (KIR), the human equivalents of the Ly49 family, in the blood and inflamed tissues of various human autoimmune diseases. Moreover, KIR+CD8+ T cells can efficiently eliminate pathogenic gliadin-specific CD4+ T cells from Celiac disease (CeD) patients’ leukocytes in vitro. Furthermore, we observe elevated levels of KIR+CD8+ T cells, but not CD4+ regulatory T cells, in COVID-19 and influenza-infected patients, and correlate with disease severity and vasculitis in COVID-19. Expanded KIR+CD8+ T cells from these different diseases display shared phenotypes and similar T cell receptor sequences. These results characterize a regulatory CD8+ T cell subset in humans, broadly active in both autoimmune and infectious diseases, which we hypothesize functions to control self-reactive or otherwise pathogenic T cells.

Total RNA sequencing of KIR+ and KIR- NK cells from patients experiencing or not a Cytomegalovirus reactivation after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Project description:AIM: To investigate the adaptive properties of NK cells, by comparing the expression profiles of FACS-sorted KIR+ (CD158b1b2j) and KIR- NK cells from patients experiencing or not a Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivation after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (h-HSCT). RESULTS: Our flow cytometry data demonstrate that KIR+ NK cells are expanded in h-HSCT patients upon HCMV reactivation, thus suggesting that these cells could be important in controlling the viral infection and could be endowed with adaptive features. By comparing the expression profiles of KIR+ and KIR- NK cells from reacivated patients, we demonstrated a cytokine receptor unbalance, a prevalence of pathways associated to mitochondrial respiration and consequent ATP synthesis, a downregulation of genes involved in epigenetic reprogramming, all properties attributable adaptive NK cells. By comparing the molecular fingerprint of KIR+ NK cells between patients experiencing a HCMV reactivation and not reactivated patients, we observed in reactivated group an upregulation of INFG expression and in genes involved in Signaling receptor activity and MHC class II antigen presentation , thus strengthens the hypothesis that our KIR+ NK cells in reactevated h-HSCT patients are able to produce IFN-γ driving specific responses upon re-stimulation. However, the enrichment in PD-1 signaling, let us speculate that KIR+ NK cells from reactivated h-HSCT patients have impaired effector-functions.

KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations in humans

Project description:We studied the heterogeneity among human KIR/NKG2A+CD8+ T cells. First, we found that KIRs and NKG2A are expressed on human CD8+ T cells in a mutually exclusive manner. Therefore, we compared KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells in regards to TCR overlap and transcriptomic profiles and demonstrated that KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations.
