Mouse ILC2 cells from wild-type or Gfi1-KO animals

ABSTRACT: Innate type-2 lymphocytes (ILC2s) are a newly described cell type whose biology and contribution to disease are poorly understood. We are interested in investigating the role of the transcription factor Gfi1 in ILC2s, which appear to be a prominent source of IL-5 and IL-13 during type-2 immune responses. We have compelling evidence demonstrating a critical role for Gfi1 in the development and effector state of ILC2s. We would like to elucidate the molecular role of Gfi1 in ILC2s by identifying Gfi1-regulated genes by microarray analysis. Gfi1+/+ or Gfi1GFP/GFP (a GFP cassette has been 'knocked-in' to the Gfi1 locus and thus functions both as a surrogate for Gfi1 promoter activity and as a loss-of-function allele) mice were injected with IL-25 once daily for 4 days. On day 5, ILC2s (Lin-/Sca-1+/ICOS+/CD127+/c-Kit+) were sorted from the mesenteric lymph nodes of Gfi1+/+ (3 mice/sample were pooled together) or Gfi1-/- mice (6 mice/sample were pooled together) and cultured for 6 days in RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, Gln, P/S, 2ME, IL-2 (50ng/ml), IL-7 (10ng/ml), and IL-25 (50ng/ml). Whole RNA was harvested on day 6 via the RNeasy kit (Qiagen).

Human ILC2 cells stimulated with IL-25, IL-33, or TSLP

Project description:ILC2 cells are a newly described cell type whose biology and contribution to disease are poorly understood. ILC2 cells are activated by allergens, viral infection, and/or epithelial damage via IL-33 and IL-25. ILC2 cells require IL-2, IL-7, IL-25 and IL-33 for their survival and expansion. In mice, ILC2s produce multiple mediators primarily associated with type 2 inflammation (IL-13, IL-5, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, GM-CSF, amphiregulin). ILC2 cells may contribute to the pathology of asthma through multiple mediators that include IL-13-independent pathways. Our goal is to compare transcriptional profiles of IL-33- or IL-25-activated ILC2 cells from blood to characterize these cells and to identify marker(s) that can be utilized to detect them in human tissue. ILC2 cells (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+) were purified from human blood of 5 different donors by flow cytometry. The ILC2 yield ranged from 20,000 to 165,000 cells per donor (0.001-0.008% WBC). Purified ILC2s were expanded in vitro in the presence of IL-2, IL-7, IL-33 and IL-25 (each at 50 ng/ml) for 7-10 days. Expanded cells maintained the ILC2 phenotype (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+). The cells were rested for 2 days in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 and then treated in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 with either media control, IL-25 (50 ng/ml), IL-33 (50 ng/ml), and/or TSLP (50 ng/ml) in combination, for 6 or 24 hours. Whole RNA was isolated via the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). Stratagene Universal Human Reference RNA was used as the reference.

RNA-Seq analysis of mouse group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) cultured with IL-33, IFN-g, and IL-27

Project description:Purpose: We found that IFN-g and IL-27 had suppressive effects on ILC2s cultured with IL-33. The goal of this study is to clarify the expressions of RNA induced by IFN-g and IL-27 in ILC2s. Methods: ILC2s were isolated from fat-asociated lymphid clusters (FALC) of wild-type mice. They were cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs. RNA was isolated by Allprep DNA/RNA Micro Kit (QIAGEN), and cDNA libraries were prepared by TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation kits v2 (Illumina) according to the manufacturerâs low sample protocol. A HiSeq 1500 system (Illumina) was used for 50 single-end bases (50SE)ãsequencing. Results: Sequenced reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and masked for low-complexity or low-quality sequence, then mapped to the reference genome (mm9) using Bowtie2 v2.1.0 and TopHat2 v2.0.8. The transcript abundances were estimated as FPKM (fragments per kilobase of exon million fragments mapped) value using Cufflinks v2.1.1. We found that both IL-27 and IFN-g upregulated the expression of STAT1 and IRF1 which are regulated downstream of IFN-g receptor signaling, but there was no difference in the expression of GATA3, a critical transcription factor for ILC2 functions. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed differences of RNA expressions by RNA-seq technology. RNA-Seq analysis of ILC2s cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs.

Transcription factor Bcl11b controls identity and function of mature innate lymphoid cells type II

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote anti-helminth responses and contribute to allergies. Though Bcl11b has been previously considered a T-lineage identity transcription factor (TF) that restrains the innate-cell genetic programs, we report here that Bcl11b is highly expressed in mature ILC2s and acts upstream of the key ILC2 TFs Gfi1, Gata-3, and of IL-33 receptor IL1rl1 (T1ST2). Additionally, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s de-repressed Rorγt, Ahr and IL-23 receptor, normally expressed in type-3 ILCs (ILC3s). Consequently, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s lost ILC2 functions and gained ILC3 functions, expanding in response to the protease allergen papain, however producing IL-17 and IL-22, and not IL-5 and IL-13, causing lung neutrophilia rather than eosinophilia, and diminished mucus production. Our results broaden Bcl11b's role from a T-cell only TF, and establishes that Bcl11b sustains mature ILC2 genetic and functional programs and lineage fidelity through positive regulation of essential ILC2 TFs and negative regulation of pivotal ILC3 TFs. RNA-seq analysis on sorted ILC2s from the mLNs of Bcl11bF/F Cre-ERT2 and wildtype mice at steady state following tamoxifen mediated deletion of Bcl11b

The transcription factor GATA3 is critical for the development of all IL-7Ra-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 2 ILCs

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles during innate immune responses to pathogens and lymphoid organ development. IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets, similar to T helper (Th) cell subsets, produce distinctive effector cytokines. The molecular control of IL-7Ra+ ILC development and maintenance has yet to be dissected. Here we report that GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets and T cells. Gata3 conditional deficient mice have no lymph nodes and are susceptible to Citrobactor rodentium infection. Genome-wide gene analyses indicate that GATA3 regulates similar set of cytokines and receptors in ILC2s and Th2 cells and is critical for the maintenance of ILC2s. Thus, GATA3 plays parallel roles in establishing and regulating both adaptive and innate lymphocytes. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells by tamoxifen-mediated acute deletion of Gata3 gene.

Proteome of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) stimulated with IL33 and TL1A

Project description:We analyzed the total proteome of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) after different stimulation with interleukin-33 (IL-33), a cytokine playing a critical role in human asthma, and TL1A, a TNF-family cytokine also known to activate ILC2s. Upon combined stimulation with IL-33 plus TL1A, we show that lung ILC2s produce high amounts of IL-9 and acquire a transient ‘ILC9’ phenotype. This phenotype is characterized by simultaneous production of large amounts of type 2 cytokines (IL-5, IL-13 and IL-9), induction of the IL-2 receptor CD25 (Il2ra), and of the transcription factors IRF4, JunB and BATF, that form immune-specific complexes known to induce IL-9 expression.

Specification of innate type-2 lymphocytes by the transcriptional determinant Gfi1

Project description:Innate type-2 lymphoid cells (ILC2s) function in immune responses against helminth parasites and are implicated in allergic inflammation and asthma. ILC2s are activated by the epithelial-derived cytokines IL-33 and IL-25 and are major sources of the type-2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13. We show that the transcription factor Gfi1 promotes the generation of ILC2s and controls their responsiveness during Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection as well as IL-33- or IL-25-instigated inflammation. Gfi1 directly activates Il1rl1, which encodes the IL-33 receptor. IL- 33 signaling upregulates Gfi1, thereby constituting a positive feedback loop that enables rapid and robust expansion of ILC2s in response to IL-33 signaling. Loss of Gfi1 in activated ILC2s results in an unusual effector state involving derepression of the IL-17 inflammatory program and co-expression of IL-13 with IL-17. ChIPseq reveals key Gfi1 targeted genes that are activated or repressed to maintain ILC2 identity. We propose that Gfi1 functions as a shared determinant within innate and adaptive immune cells to specify type-2 responses, while actively repressing the IL-17 effector state. ILC2s (~3 x 10^7 cells) were sorted from the MLN of IL-25-treated mice. Chromatin fragments bound by Gfi1 were subject to ChIP using Gfi1 antibodies and followed by high-throughput sequencing.

Transcription profiling by array of human dendritic cells after Poly(I:C)-based or PGE2-based maturation

Project description:Generation of human monocyte-derived DCs Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll density centrifugation from buffy coats or whole blood of healthy donors and resuspended in serum-free medium (CellGro, CellGenix GmbH, Freiburg, Germany), supplemented with penicillin (50U/ml)/streptomycin (50?g/ml). Cells were plated at a density of 1-1,25 e6/cm2 in T-25 flasks and allowed to adhere for 2h at 37oC. Non-adherent cells were removed by washing twice with PBS and frozen as T cell source for stimulation experiments. Adherent monocytes were differentiated into immature DC with 1000U/ml GM-CSF and 50ng/ml IL-4 (""im DC""). Unless stated otherwise, cytokines were purchased from CellGenix GmbH, Freiburg, Germany. Cytokines were replenished on day 3. Maturation was achieved by incubation with either IL-1?; (10ng/ml), IL-6 (1000U/ml), TNF?; (10ng/ml) and PGE2 (1?g/ml, ICN, Aurora, Ohio, USA) (""PGE2-DC"") or IL-1?; (25ng/ml), IFN?; (3000U/ml, Schering-Plough, Brussels, Belgium), IFN?; (1000U/ml Strathmann Biotech AG), TNF?; (50ng/ml) and poly(I:C) (a synthetic, double-stranded RNA, 20ng/ml, Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) (""poly(I:C)-DC"") on day 6 for 48 hours Total RNA was isolated from DC before and after cytokine maturation

Induction of Interleukin-9-producing Mucosal Mast cells Promotes Susceptibility to IgE-mediated Experimental Food Allergy

Project description:Experimental IgE-mediated food allergy depends on intestinal anaphylaxis driven by interleukin (IL)-9. However, the primary cellular source of IL-9 and the mechanisms underlying the susceptibility to food-induced intestinal anaphylaxis remain unclear. Herein, we have reported the identification of multifunctional IL-9-producing mucosal mast cells (MMC9s) that can secrete prodigious amounts of IL-9 and IL-13 in response to IL-33, and mast cell protease-1 (MCPt-1) in response to antigen and IgE complex crosslinking, respectively. Repeated intragastric antigen challenge induced MMC9 development that required T cells, IL-4, and STAT6 transcription factor, but not IL-9 signals. Mice ablated of MMC9 induction failed to develop intestinal mastocytosis, which resulted in decreased food allergy symptoms that could be restored by adoptively transferred MMC9s. Finally, atopic patients that developed food allergy displayed increased intestinal expression of Il9 and MC-specific transcripts. Thus, the induction of MMC9s is a pivotal step to acquire the susceptibility to IgE-mediated food allergy. dUTP mRNA-Seq profiles of indicated hematopoietic cell lineages were generated on Illumina HiSeq2500. Hematopoietic cells were isolated from Balb/C mice that developed food allergy and bone marrow-derived mast cells were generated from naïve Balb/C mice
