Fibroblastic reticular cells in the spleen - total splenic Stroma cells - single cell RNAseq dataset 2

ABSTRACT: Splenic white pulp (WP) structures are underpinned by fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) to facilitate splenic compartmentalization and execute efficient immune responses. Although distinct WP FSCs exhibit various molecular traits, the origin and the hierarchical differentiation of different cell subsets are not characterized. Here we showed, the organization of splenic WP and the differentiation of WP FSCs were governed by lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signaling pathway. Cell fate mapping analysis revealed that different WP fibroblastic stromal cells descend from a common perivascular LTβR-sensitive mesenchymal lymphoid organizer cells (mLTo) at prenatal stage. Moreover, embryonic mLTo cells required LTβR signaling to give rise to different WP stromal cell subsets, while the proliferation of these cells was devoid of LTβR signaling but followed the development of WP during ontogeny. Moreover, cell fate mapping from different time point indicated a consecutive commitment of mLTo cells initiated from the proximal region around the splenic artery. RNAseq and differentiation trajectory analysis of distinct FSCs showed that Ltbr-deficient cells and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) from adult spleen exhibited a progenitor phenotype and revealed a closer hierarchical lineage with embryonic mLTo cells. Taken together, our results unveil that embryonic mLTo cells residing in the perivascular niches can give rise to different FSC populations in a LTβR-dependent manner during development.

The splenic white pulp is underpinned by poorly characterized stromal cells that demarcate distinct immune cell microenvironments. Here we establish fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC)-specific fate-mapping in mice to define their embryonic origin and differentiation trajectories. Our data show that all reticular cell subsets descend from multipotent progenitors emerging at embryonic day 19.5 from periarterial progenitors. Commitment of FRC progenitors is concluded during the first week of postnat ...[more]

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.
