Project description:Innate and adaptive lymphocytes work in concert to maintain tissue homeostasis and to mediate host defense at mucosal barriers. Herein, we used single cell analysis to show substantial diversity of gene expression in ILCs and T helper cells during a helminth infection in the lung. Notably, we found that the Calca gene, which is spliced to generate the neuropeptide CGRP, was selectively transcribed in ILC2s and Th2 cells in an activation dependent manner. The Calca locus acquired chromatin accessibility at the ILC2 precursor stage and is pre-programmed for rapid production of CGRP upon ILC2 activation. CGRP globally antagonized actions of neuromedin U (NMU) and the alarmin IL-33. However, CGRP selectively acted in concert with NMU and IL-33 to promote IL-5 expression, but not IL-13. The complex interplay among neuropeptides and alarmin fine-tunes type 2 immune responses and will undoubtedly become more relevant as therapeutic neuropeptide blockade advances in the clinic.

Project description:Dysfunction of group II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) plays an important role in the development of type II inflammation-related diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Notably, neural signals are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators of ILC2s. However, how ILC2s intrinsically modulate their responsiveness to these neural signals is still largely unknown. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk mRNA sequencing, we report that the immune regulatory molecule PAC1 (phosphatase of activated cells 1) selectively promotes the signaling of neuropeptide CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) in ILC2s. Moreover, PAC1 is necessary for ensuring the expression of CGRP-response genes by influencing chromatin accessibility. In summary, our study demonstrates that PAC1 is an important regulator of ILC2 responses and we propose that PAC1 is a potential target for therapeutic interventions of type II inflammation-related diseases.

Project description:Innate lymphocytes maintain tissue homeostasis at mucosal barriers, with group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) producing type 2 cytokines and controlling helminth infection. While the molecular understanding of ILC2 responses has advanced, the complexity of microenvironmental factors impacting ILC2s is becoming increasingly apparent. Herein, we used single-cell analysis to explore the diversity of gene expression among lung lymphocytes during helminth infection. Following infection, we identified a subset of ILC2s that preferentially expressed Il5-encoding interleukin (IL)-5, together with Calca-encoding calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its cognate receptor components. CGRP in concert with IL-33 and neuromedin U (NMU) supported IL-5 but constrained IL-13 expression and ILC2 proliferation. Without CGRP signaling, ILC2 responses and worm expulsion were enhanced. Collectively, these data point to CGRP as a context-dependent negative regulatory factor that shapes innate lymphocyte responses to alarmins and neuropeptides during type 2 innate immune responses.

Project description:alpha-CGRP is a neuropeptide that is also expressed in the fracture callus during bone regeneration. Our aim was to evaluate the role of alpha-CGRP in the context of fracture healing. Therefore we investigated the effect of alpha-CGRP deficiency on fracture callus formation. We used microarray analysis to compare the global gene expression of fracture calli from alpha-CGRP deficient mice and WT mice.

Project description:Neuroimmune interactions have emerged as critical modulators of allergic inflammation, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are an important cell type for mediating these interactions. Here, we show that ILC2s expressed both the neuropeptide CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide) and its receptor. CGRP potently inhibited alarmin-driven type 2 cytokine production and proliferation by lung ILC2s both in vitro and in vivo. CGRP induced marked changes in ILC2 expression programs in vivo and in vitro, attenuating alarmin-driven proliferative and effector responses. A distinct subset of ILCs scored highly for a CGRP-specific gene signature after in vivo alarmin stimulation, suggesting CGRP regulated this response. Finally, we observed increased ILC2 proliferation and type 2 cytokine production and exaggerated responses to alarmins in mice lacking the CGRP receptor. Together, these data indicate that endogenous CGRP is a critical negative regulator of ILC2 responses in vivo.

Project description:The somatosensory nervous system surveils external stimuli at barrier tissues, regulating innate immune cells under infection and inflammation. The roles of sensory neurons in controlling the adaptive immune system, and more specifically immunity to the microbiota, however, remain elusive. Here, we identified a novel mechanism for direct neuroimmune communication between commensal-specific T lymphocytes and somatosensory neurons mediated by the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the skin. Intravital imaging revealed that commensal-specific T cells are in close proximity to cutaneous nerve fibers in vivo. Correspondingly, we observed upregulation of the receptor for the neuropeptide CGRP, RAMP1, in CD8+ T lymphocytes induced by skin commensal colonization. Neuroimmune CGRP-RAMP1 signaling axis functions in commensal-specific T cells to constrain Type 17 responses and moderate the activation status of microbiota-reactive lymphocytes at homeostasis. As such, modulation of neuroimmune CGRP-RAMP1 signaling in commensal-specific T cells shapes the overall activation status of the skin epithelium, thereby impacting the outcome of responses to insults such as wounding. The ability of somatosensory neurons to control adaptive immunity to the microbiota via the CGRP-RAMP1 axis underscores the various layers of regulation and multisystem coordination required for optimal microbiota-reactive T cell functions under steady state and pathology.
