Toxoplasma gondii Infection Promotes NK Cell Conversion into ILC1s and Heterogeneous ILC1 Populations

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.

Heterogeneity of liver group 1 ILC1s

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.

Toxoplasma gondii infection drives conversion of NK cells into ILC1-like cells.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) were originally classified based on their cytokine profiles, placing natural killer (NK) cells and ILC1s together, but recent studies support their separation into different lineages at steady-state. However, tumors may induce NK cell conversion into ILC1-like cells that are limited to the tumor microenvironment and whether this conversion occurs beyond this environment remains unknown. Here, we describe Toxoplasma gondii infection converts NK cells into ILC1-like cells that are distinct from both steady-state NK cells and ILC1s in uninfected mice. These cells were Eomes-dependent, indicating that NK cells can give rise to Eomes- Tbet-dependent ILC1-like cells that circulate widely and persist independent of ongoing infection. Moreover, these changes appear permanent, as supported by epigenetic analyses. Thus, these studies markedly expand current concepts of NK cells, ILCs, and their potential conversion.

SMAD4 impedes conversion of NK cells into ILC1-like cells by curtailing non-canonical TGFb signaling (mouse data sets)

Project description:Among the features that distinguish type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) from NK cells is a gene signature indicative of TGFb-family cytokine imprinting. To assess the impact of TGFb family cytokines on ILC1 differentation, we examined SMAD4- a transcription factor that facilitates the signaling pathway common to all TGFb family cytokines-was specifically ablated in ILCs and NK cells. While SMAD4 deficiency did not affect ILC1 differentation, NK cells paradoxically aquired an ILC1-like gene signature and were incapable of controlling tumor metastasis and viral infection. We used microarray to define the transcriptional differences between splenic NK cells from WT and SMAD4F/F x Ncr1-Cre mice.

SMAD4 impedes conversion of NK cells into ILC1-like cells by curtailing non-canonical TGFb signaling (human data sets)

Project description:Among the features that distinguish type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) from NK cells is a gene signature indicative of TGFb-family cytokine imprinting. To assess the impact of TGFb family cytokines on ILC1 differentation, we examined SMAD4- a transcription factor that facilitates the signaling pathway common to all TGFb family cytokines-was specifically ablated in ILCs and NK cells. While SMAD4 deficiency did not affect ILC1 differentation, NK cells paradoxically aquired an ILC1-like gene signature and were incapable of controlling tumor metastasis and viral infection. We used microarray to compare the transcriptional differences between human blood NK cells. NK cells from a patient with a deleterious SMAD4 mutation or control NK cells were cultured overnight with either IL-2 alone or TGFb1 and IL-2.

Toxoplasma gondii RNASeq

Project description:Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including N. caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages (e.g. tachyzoites at different times points) of T. gondii VEG strain. The aim is to make comparative transcriptional landscape maps of Neospora and Toxoplasma at different time points at different life cycle stages and compare levels of expression of orthologous genes in these two organisms.
