Single cell RNAseq of fibroblastic reticular cells and vascular smooth muscle cells from mesenteric and peripheral murine lymph nodes at different developmental stages

ABSTRACT: The interaction of immune cells in the lymph node microenvironment depends on the infrastructure and molecular cues provided by fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs). In addition, concentric layers of still poorly defined mural cells, including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), are involved in positioning and regulating immune cell interactions. Here, we used high-resolution confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, single cell transcriptomics and trajectory analysis to delineate VSMC and PRC phenotypes and differentiation during development in different LN entities.

Project description:Inducing the long-term protection via effector memory CD8+ T cells residing in the peripheral tissues is the ultimate goal of T cell-based vaccination strategies. CD8+ T cell reacting against a particular set of antigenic peptides show propensity to generate stable pools of memory inflating cells with profound protective capacity. While the epitopes that induce memory inflation have been thoroughly characterized and used as excellent constituents of vaccines such as recombinant adenoviruses, the identity of the tissue factors responsible for maintaining memory inflating CD8+ T cells remains elusive. Here, we have used a Cre recombinase-dependent, -galactosidase (gal)–recombinant adenovirus vector that allowed for cell-specific expression of gal epitopes and identification of cell types involved in generation of inflationary responses. While targeting antigen expression to classical hematopoietic antigen presenting cells was insufficient to activate gal-specific CD8+ T cells, expressing the antigen exclusively in CCL19-producing fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) induced robust anti-gal CD8+ T cell response. Using bone marrow chimera mice to abolish the expression of major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) and Basic Leucine Zipper ATF-Like Transcription Factor 3 (BATF3) in hematopoietic cells we demonstrated that CCL19-expressing FCS function as antigen libraries, gradually releasing the antigen to CD103+ DCs to maintain gal-specific memory inflating population. Moreover, targeted ablation of CCL19-producing cells revealed that pulmonary fibroblastic stromal cells act as the principal organizer of the nurturing niches that support the metabolic conversion in CD8+ T cells necessary for the generation of long-lasting protective inflationary responses. Overall, our data reveal a hitherto unknown function of CCL19-expressiong fibroblastic stromal in supporting the metabolic fitness of CD8+ T cells, thereby promoting the generation of tissue-specific and long-lasting protective CD8+ T cell responses.
