Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in SC composition and immunomodulatory function. Here, using scRNA-seq we dissected the developmental trajectory of SCs within mLNs derived from postnatal to aged mice, and identified two putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid LN expansion postnatally. We further unraveled the tissue-specific chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation landscape of non-endothelial SCs, and identified a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature, showcasing differences between SCs from mLN and skin-draining peripheral LN. Irf3 was inferred from the epigenomic landscape of SCs, being dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs. Lentiviral overexpression of Irf3 in a mesenchymal stem cell line established a Cxcl9+ FRC molecular phenotype. The relevance of Irf3 for SC biology was further underscored by the diminished proportion of Ccl19+ and Cxcl9+ FRCs in LNs from Irf3-/- mice. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of LNSC development in early life and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of non-endothelial SCs.

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) provide the framework and microenvironment to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in composition and immuno-modulatory function of SCs. Here, we dissect the tissue-specific epigenomic DNA accessibility and CpG methylation landscape of LN non-endothelial SCs and identify a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature of LN SCs. By combined analysis of transcription factor (TF) binding sites together with the gene expression profiles of non-endothelial SCs, we delineated TFs poising skin-draining peripheral LN (pLN) SCs for pro-inflammatory responses. Furthermore, using scRNA-seq, we dissected the developmental trajectory of mLN SCs derived from postnatal to aged mice, identifying two distinct putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid postnatal LN expansion. Finally, we identified Irf3 as a key differentiation TF inferred from the epigenomic signature of mLN SCs that is dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs, and validated Irf3 as a regulator of Cxcl9+ FRC differentiation. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of mLN development and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of mLN non-endothelial SCs. As such, our findings represent a valuable resource to identify core transcriptional regulators that impinge on the developing mLN early in life, thereby shaping long-lasting intestinal adaptive immune responses.
