An Atlas of Cells in the Human Tonsil

ABSTRACT: Palatine tonsils are secondary lymphoid organs representing the first line of immunological defense against inhaled or ingested pathogens. Here, we provide a comprehensive census of cell types forming the human tonsil by applying single cell transcriptome, epigenome, proteome and adaptive immune repertoire as well as spatial transcriptomics, resulting in an atlas of >350,000 cells. We provide a glossary of over one hundred annotated cell types and states, and disentangle gene regulatory mechanisms that drive cells through specialized lineage trajectories. Exemplarily, we stratify multiple tonsil-resident myeloid slancyte subtypes, establish a distant BCL6 superenhancer as locally active in both follicle-associated T and B cells, and describe SIX5 as a potentially novel transcriptional regulator of plasma cell maturation. Further, our atlas is a reference map to understand alterations observed in disease, here we discover immune-phenotype plasticity in tumoral cells and microenvironment shifts of mantle cell lymphomas (MCL). To facilitate such reference-based analysis, we develop HCATonsilData and SLOcatoR, a computational framework that provides programmatic and modular access to our dataset; and allows the straightforward annotation of future single-cell profiles from secondary lymphoid organs.

Gene expression signatures of human plasma cells isolated from different territories

Project description:In vivo antigen (Ag)-induced differentiation of B lymphocytes into plasma cells (PCs) takes place in extra-follicular foci and germinal centers of the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs). Most of these SLO PCs are short-living and only relatively few PCs, characterized by secreting high-affinity antibodies (Ab), travel through the circulation and finally home in specialized survival niches of the bone marrow (BM) and, at a lesser extent, in the SLOs, where they become long-living Ab-secreting PCs. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish between human circulating Ag-induced PCs in comparison with tonsil and BM PCs distinctively regulate genes involved in cell proliferation. Gene expressions in human plasma cells isolated from tonsil (7 samples), blood (6 samples) and bone marrow (7samples) were measured. Each sample was isolated from a different donor.

scRNA-seq + TCR-seq of mouse polyclonal CD4+ T cells during blood-stage malaria infection.

Project description:Blood-stage malaria infection induces differentiation of several effector CD4 + T subsets including Tfh and Th1 cells. The cues and microarchitectural niches required in secondary lymphoid organs for their formation were previously uncharacterised. Here we used scRNA-seq to profile CD4+ T cell transcriptomes upon malaria infection as a reference dataset for deconvolution of spatial transcriptomic data.

Antibody repertoire sequencing of human tonsillar B cell subsets

Project description:In response to antigen challenge, human B cells clonally expand, undergo selection and differentiate within secondary lymphoid tissues to produce mature B cell subsets and high affinity antibodies necessary for an effective immune response. However, the interplay between affinity, antibody class and different B cell fates has proved challenging to decipher in primary human tissue. We have applied an integrated analysis of bulk and single-cell antibody repertoires paired with single-cell transcriptomics of human B cells from a model secondary lymphoid tissue. Specifically, here we have performed bulk B cell repertoire sequencing of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) for sorted B cell subsets from paediatric tonsil tissue. Matched single-cell gene expression and single-cell VDJ data are also available for the same patient donors.

Characterization with age of resident T cells within secondary lymphoid organs in the steady state

Project description:Using two different experimental approaches, we here highlight the long-term residence of a substantial proportion of CD4 Treg and CD4 Tmem cells within the secondary lymphoid organs of specific pathogen-free mice. Microbiota plays an important role in T-cell residence in Peyer’s patches, but only a minor one, if any, in lymph nodes. Lymph node-resident CD4 Treg and CD4 Tmem cells share many phenotypic and functional characteristics, including a core transcriptional profile, with their cell-counterparts from non-lymphoid tissues. In particular, S1PR1 down-regulation may represent the main mechanism accounting for T-cell residency within secondary lymphoid organs. Strikingly, T-cell residence increases with age, to the point that the majority of CD4 Treg and Tmem cells from lymph nodes are in fact, resident T cells in old mice. Altogether, our results show that T-cell residence is not only a hallmark of non-lymphoid tissues, but can be extended to secondary lymphoid organs.

Expression data of human tonsilar CD4 positive T cell subsets

Project description:Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are one of the regulatory T cell subsets that are characterized by the production of high amount of IL-10 and lack of FOXP3 expression. Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) is a CD4 homologue molecule and we have previously reported that LAG3 is expressed on IL-10 producing regulatory T cells. However, naturally occurring Tr1 cells in human secondary lymphoid tissue have not been detected. We identified CD4+CD25-LAG3+ T cells in human tonsil. We compared mRNA expression of five CD4+ T cell subsets in tonsil using microarray analysis (CD4+CD25-LAG3+ T cells, CD4+CD25-CXCR5+PD-1+ follicular helper T cells (TFH), CD4+CD25+ T cells, CD4+CD25-LAG3-CD45RO+ cells and CD4+CD25-LAG3-CD45RO- cells). A human tonsil was obtained from a patient undergoing routine tonsillectomy, and five tonsillar CD4+ T cell subsets were sorted (each 1 x 10^5 cells). There is no biological replication.
