Project description:Developmental thymic waves of innate-like and adaptive-like gd T cells have been described, but the current understanding of γδ T cell development is mainly limited to mouse models. Here, we combined single cell (sc) RNA gene expression and sc γδ T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing on fetal and pediatric γδ thymocytes in order to understand the ontogeny of human γδ T cells. Mature fetal γδ thymocytes were committed to either a type 1, a type 3 or type 2-like effector fate, independent from γδ T cell subset type (Vγ9Vδ2 vs nonVγ9Vδ2), and were enriched for public CDR3 features upon maturation. Strikingly, type 1, type 3 and type 2 cells expressed different CDR3 sequences and followed distinct developmental trajectories. In contrast, the pediatric thymus generated only a small effector subset that was highly biased towards Vγ9Vδ2 TCR usage and showed a mixed type 1/type 3 effector profile. Thus, our combined dataset of gene expression and detailed TCR information at the single-cell level defines γδ thymocyte development in human and provides a resource for further study.

Project description:In the mouse thymus, invariant γδ T cells are generated at well-defined times during development and acquire effector functions before exiting the thymus. However, whether such thymic programming can occur in human is not known. Here we analyzed human fetal and post-natal γδ thymocytes and investigated the role of hematopoietic-stem-and-precursor-cells (HSPC) in the generation of human γδ T cells. Unlike post-natal γδ thymocytes, fetal γδ thymocytes were functionally programmed (e.g. IFNγ, granzymes), expressed low levels of terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase (TdT) and were highly enriched for invariant/public germline-encoded CDR3 sequences (TRGV8-TRJP1-CATWDTTGWFKIF, TRDV2-TRDD3-CACDTGGY and TRDV1-TRDD3-CALGELGD, previously shown to be expanded in cytomegalovirus infection) composed of short-homology-repeat-containing gene segments. Furthermore, these unique characteristics were due to an intrinsic property of fetal HSPC caused by high expression of the RNA-binding protein Lin28b. In conclusion, our data indicate that the human fetal thymus generates, in a HSPC/Lin28b-dependent manner, invariant γδ T cells with programmed effector functions.

Project description:γδ T-cells form an integral arm of the immune system through their rapid and potent effector functions, and are critical players during both protective and destructive immunity. However, the factors that dictate γδ T-cell functional programming in vivo remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we employed RBPJ-inducible and KN6-transgenic mice to assess the roles of ontogenic timing, T-cell receptor (TCR) signal strength, and Notch signaling in the generation of γδ T-cell functional subsets in vivo. We found skewed generation of Vγ1+ cells toward the PLZF+ γδ T-cell lineage at the fetal stage. Similarly, generation of interleukin (IL)-17 producing γδ T-cells was favored during, although not exclusive to, the fetal stage. Strong TCR signals, in conjunction with Notch, were necessary for the generation of IL-4 producing γδ T-cells. Conversely, weak TCR signals were amenable for the generation of IL-17 producing γδ T-cells, which was Notch-independent. Additionally and surprisingly, Notch signaling was also dispensable for peripheral γδ T-cell IL-17 production. Thus, our results precisely defined the roles of ontogenic timing, TCR signal strength, and Notch signaling in γδ T-cell functional programming in vivo.

Project description:Here, we investigated γδ T cells in a longitudinal cohort of preterm neonates during the first year of life. Our data reveal dynamic postnatal maturation patterns of γδ T cell subsets, which are largely age-dependent. We report on the expansion of fetal-derived γδ T cells in preterm neonates with sepsis. Single cell transcriptome analyses identified HLA-DRhigh and CD83+ γδ T cells in neonatal sepsis.

Project description:Murine γδ T cells include several effector subsets that fulfil distinct functional roles. In pathological conditions, such as cancer, some γδ T cell subsets are highly protective whereas other subsets may exacerbate disease. γδ T cells are programmed for their effector function during their development in the thymus. Investigations of γδ T cell development have been hampered by the scarcity of surface markers distinguishing different development stages. In this study, we found that addition of CD117, CD200 and CD371 to existing markers, allowed identification of seven distinct development stages (named A, B, C, D, E, F and G) present in both the Vγ1.1+ and Vγ2+ thymocyte subsets. We provide evidence for the existence of three distinct pathways leading to export of γδ T cells, two of which express high levels of CD24. These pathways are dominated by different TCRδ repertoires shaped by TCR signalling or lack thereof. Each pathway express distinct cytokine and transcription factor profiles associated with γδT1, γδNKT and adaptive γδ T cells. Thus, the identification of additional γδ T cell development stages in this study connects three distinct development pathways to the programming of three γδ T cell effector subsets.

Project description:During thymic development, most γδ T cells acquire innate-like characteristics that are critical for their function in tumor surveillance, infectious disease, and tissue repair. The mechanisms, however, that regulate γδ T cell developmental programming remain unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that the SLAM-SAP signaling pathway regulates the development and function of multiple innate-like γδ T cell subsets. Here, we used a single-cell proteogenomics approach to identify SAP-dependent developmental checkpoints and to define the SAP-dependent γδ TCR repertoire. SAP deficiency resulted in both a significant loss of an immatureGzma+Blk+Etv5+Tox2+γδT17 precursor population, and a significant increase inCd4+Cd8+Rorc+Ptcra+Rag1+thymic γδ T cells. SAP-dependent diversion of embryonic day 17 thymic γδ T cell clonotypes into the αβ T cell developmental pathway was associated with a decreased frequency of mature clonotypes in neonatal thymus, and an altered γδ TCR repertoire in the periphery. Finally, we identify TRGV4/TRAV13-4(DV7)-expressing T cells as a novel, SAP-dependent Vγ4 γδT1 subset. Together, the data suggest that SAP-dependent γδ/αβ T cell lineage commitment regulates γδ T cell developmental programming and shapes the γδ TCR repertoire.

Project description:Human fetal and adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) were obtained from fetal liver, fetal bone marrow (BM), and adult BM. These were injected into human fetal thymic implants in SCID-hu Thy/Liv mice (4-6 separate mice per HSC donor) and allowed to mature into single positive CD4+ (SP4) thymocytes over the course of 7-8 weeks. SP4 thymocytes from injected stem cells were subsequently sort-purified from thymic implants and gene expression was performed.
