Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise several subsets that were originally classified based on their cytokine production profiles. Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) were initially classified together, but recent data supported their separation into different lineages. Here we describe how infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induces changes to NK1.1+ NKp46+ cells that persist independent of ongoing infection. Notably, there is an expansion of Eomes– CD49a+ cells that superficially resemble ILC1s, but express unique genes, circulate throughout the vasculature, and possess distinct epigenetic marks. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirms T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells are distinct from both conventional NK cells and ILC1s. Furthermore, there is heterogeneity within this population, as both conventional NK cells and ILC1s contribute to their formation. Indeed, downregulation of Eomes within conventional NK cells accounts for most T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells, indicating that NK cells can give rise to cells resembling ILC1s during infection.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that express NK cell receptors (NCRs) and the transcription factor T-bet populate non-lymphoid tissues and are crucial in immune responses against viral infections and malignancies. Recent studies highlighted the heterogeneity of this ILC population and extended their functional spectrum to include important roles in tissue homeostasis and autoimmunity. Here, we provide detailed profiling of NCR+T-bet+ ILC populations in the murine kidney, identifying conventional NK (cNK) cells and type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) as the two major subsets. Induction of renal inflammation in a mouse model of glomerulonephritis did not substantially influence abundance or phenotype of cNK cells or ILC1s in the kidney. For functional analyses in this model, widely used depletion strategies for total NCR+ ILCs (αNK1.1 antibody application) and cNK cells (α-asGM1 serum application) were unreliable tools, since they were accompanied by significant off-target depletion of kidney NKT cells and CD8+ T cells, respectively. However, neither depletion of cNK cells and ILC1s in NKT cell-deficient mice, nor specific genetic deletion of cNK cells in Ncr1Cre/wt x Eomesfl/fl mice altered the clinical course of experimental glomerulonephritis. In summary, we show here that cNK cells and ILC1s are dispensable for initiation and progression of immune-mediated glomerular disease and advise caution in the use of standard antibody depletion methods to study NCR+ ILC function in mouse models.

Project description:RNA sequencing demonstrated that liver Ly49E+ and Ly49E- ILC1s exhibited unique transcriptional profiles and phenotypic features. scRNA-seq analysis revealed heterogeneity within both cNK and ILC1 subsets in liver. cNK cells could be further divided into three clusters, which corresponded to different developmental stages. Ly49E expression could dissect ILC1s into two subsets: Ly49E+ ILC1s and Ly49E- ILC1s, which exhibited different functional characteristics.

Project description:Innate lymphocytes are integral components of the cellular immune system that coordinates host defense against a multitude of challenges and can trigger immunopathology when dysregulated. Natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are innate immune effectors postulated to functionally mirror conventional cytotoxic T lymphocytes and helper T cells, respectively. Here, we show that the cytolytic molecule granzyme C was surprisingly expressed in cells with the phenotype of type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) in mouse liver and salivary gland. Cell fate-mapping and transfer studies revealed that granzyme C-expressing innate lymphocytes could be derived from ILC progenitors and did not interconvert with NK cells, ILC2s, or ILC3s. Granzyme C defined a maturation state of ILC1s, which required the transcription factor T-bet and to a lesser extent Eomes specifically in the salivary gland for their maintenance. Furthermore, transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) signaling promoted maintenance of granzyme C-expressing ILC1s in the salivary gland and in the tumor of a transgenic breast cancer model, and their depletion caused accelerated tumor growth. ILC1s gained granzyme C expression following interleukin-15 (IL-15) stimulation, which enabled perforin-mediated cytotoxicity. Strikingly, constitutive activation of the IL-15-regulated transcription factor Stat5 in granzyme C-fate-mapped ILC1s triggered lethal perforin-dependent autoimmunity in neonatal mice. Thus, granzyme C marks a cytotoxic effector state of ILC1s, broadening their function beyond ‘helper-like’ lymphocytes.

Project description:This experiment contains two mice genotypes – WT and Bcl3 flx/flx Zbtb46 cre knockouts (both C57BL/6 background). These mice were either infected with 15 cysts of Toxoplasma gondii (ME49 strain) or kept uninfected. Spleens were harvested from mice 7 days post infection and splenocytes were isolated. With four experimental groups (KO/WT and infected/uninfected) and two biological replicate mice per group, we have a total of 8 biological samples comprising of single cell suspensions of splenocytes enriched for CD11c. Single cell RNA-seq libraries were prepared from CD11c-enriched single cells using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ Reagent Kits v3 (10X Genomics; Pleasanton, CA, USA). Eight sample libraries were multiplexed and sequenced 100bp paired end in four different runs of Illumina NextSeq2000, followed by demultiplexing that resulted in multiple raw FASTQ files corresponding to paired reads (R1 and R2), index barcodes (I1) and four sequencing runs (Seq1 - Seq4). The main goal of this project was to define Bcl3-associated transcriptional responses in dendritic cells during T. gondii infection.

Project description:ILC1s are tissue-resident lymphocytes, their recruitment, migration and infiltration into subcutaneous tumors is a big concern. In addition, as NK cells and ILC1s are phenotypically similar, it is difficult to assess the relative contribution of these two cell types to anti-tumor function. Here, we compared the transcriptomes of ILC1s and NK cells from MC38 tumor-bearing mice to understand the biological/phenotypic changes of ILC1s.

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprising circulating natural killer (cNK) cells and tissue-resident ILC1s are critical for host defense against pathogens and tumors. Despite a growing understanding of their role in homeostasis and disease, the ontogeny of group 1 ILCs remains largely unknown. Here, we used fate mapping and single-cell transcriptomics to comprehensively investigate the origin and turnover of group 1 ILCs. While cNK cells are continuously replaced throughout life, we uncovered tissue-dependent development and turnover of ILC1s. A first wave of ILC1s emerges during embryogenesis in the liver and transiently colonizes fetal tissues. After birth, a second wave quickly replaces ILC1s in most tissues apart from the liver, where they layer with embryonic ILC1s and persist until adulthood undergoing a unique developmental program. While embryonically-derived ILC1s give rise to a cytotoxic subset, the neonatal wave establishes a helper-like subset. Our findings uncover key ontogenic features of group 1 ILCs and their association with unique cellular identities and functions.
