Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play strategic roles in tissue homeostasis and immunity. ILCs arise from lymphoid progenitors undergoing lineage restriction leading to the development of specialised ILC subsets. We generated ‘5x polychromILC’ compound transcription factor reporter mice to delineate ILC precursor states by revealing the multifaceted expression of key ILC-associated transcription factors (Id2, Bcl11b, Gata3, Rorc(γt) and Rora) during ILC development in the bone marrow. This approach allowed previously unattained enrichment of rare progenitor subsets and revealed hitherto unappreciated ILC precursor heterogeneity. In vivo and in vitro assays identified novel precursors with potential to generate all ILC subsets and natural killer cells, and also permitted discrimination of elusive ILC3 bone marrow antecedents. Single cell gene expression analysis identified a discrete ILC2-committed population and delineated transition states between early progenitors and a highly heterogeneous ILC1/3/NK precursor cell cluster. This diversity may facilitate greater lineage potential upon progenitor recruitment to peripheral tissues.

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.

Project description:Type-3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) regulate homeostasis and orchestrate immunity in the intestine, mediated in part by their bi-directional communication with the intestinal epithelium. In order to define specific interactions between these two compartments, we used a reductionist co-culture system of murine epithelial small intestinal organoids (SIO) with ILC3. The transcriptomic profile of epithelial cells from these co-cultures was analysed by bulk RNAseq.

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. 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.

Project description:Ror gamma t-deficient mice lack group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC3s) and as a result have increased tissue damage and diminished tissue repair in response to insult. To identify repair programs associated with ILC3 presence the transcriptomes of small intestinal stem cells exposed to damage in the presence or absence of ILC3 were compared. Small intestinal damage was induced in Ror gamma t-deficient Lgr5 reporter mice and littermate controls. Small intestinal epithelial stem cells were purified at days 1 and 4 after damage and subjected to RNA sequencing.

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.

Project description:Autoimmune regulator (Aire) plays an indispensable role in the induction of central immune tolerance. We identify a novel subset of Rorγt-dependent innate lymphoid cell-type in secondary lymphoid organs, which presents endogenously generated antigens and contributes to peripheral T cell tolerance. In this experiment, transcriptomes of these Aire-ILC3 cells are characterized in wild-type Balb/C and Aire-/- Balb/C mice [Ramsey, C. et al. (2002) Hum Mol Genet 11:397-409] using RNA-seq method. To obtain the cells, peripheral lymph nodes were minced, enzymatically digested, and Aire-ILC3 cells were FACS-sorted as Lin-, MHCII+, CD80+, IL7Ra+ cells.

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are innate immune effectors that contribute to host defense. Whether ILC3 functions are stably modified following pathogen encounter is unknown. Here we assess the impact of a time-restricted enterobacterial challenge to long-term ILC3 activation. We found that intestinal ILC3 persist for months in an activated state following exposure to Citrobacter rodentium. Upon rechallenge, these “trained” ILC3 proliferate, display enhanced interleukin (IL)-22 responses, and have a superior cell-intrinsic capacity to control infection compared to naïve ILC3. Metabolic changes occur in C. rodentium-exposed ILC3 but only trained ILC3 have enhanced proliferative capacity that contributes to elevated IL-22 production. Accordingly, a limited encounter with a pathogen can promote durable phenotypic and functional changes in intestinal ILC3 that contribute to long-term mucosal defense.
