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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Single-cell RNA-seq of CD4+ Treg and Tmem cells from different tissues in mouse (Chromium 10x data)

Project description:Non-lymphoid tissues (NLTs) harbour a pool of adaptive immune cells distinct from their counterparts in lymphoid tissues, and their development and phenotype remains largely unexplored. We used scRNA-seq to survey CD4+ T regulatory (Treg) and memory T (Tmem) cells in spleen, lymph nodes, skin and colon in an unbiased way, in mouse. This cross-tissues comparison allows us to obtain marker genes for immune populations in specific locations, as well as examine each population's heterogeneity. Additionally, a continuous phenotype of Treg migration can be modelled from the mouse data, unravelling the transcriptional stages through which these cells transition between tissues.

A non-lymphoid origin for lymph node resident memory T cells

Project description:Immunosurveillance of secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) is performed by central memory T cells that recirculate through blood. Resident memory T cells (TRM) remain parked in nonlymphoid tissues and often stably express CD69. We recently identified TRM within SLO, and this study addresses knowledge gaps in their origin and phenotype. Parabiosis of ‘dirty’ mice revealed that CD69 expression is insufficient to infer stable residence. Using selective depletion strategies, parabiosis, imaging, tissue grafting, and photoactivatable T cells, we report that restimulation of TRM within the skin or mucosa results in a substantial increase in TRM that patrol all regions of draining lymph nodes. SLO TRM were derived from nonlymphoid tissue residents. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry revealed a refined phenotype shared between both nonlymphoid and SLO TRM. These data demonstrate the nonlymphoid origin of SLO TRM and suggest vaccination strategies by which memory CD8 T cell immunosurveillance can be regionalized to specific lymph nodes.

Resident T Cell Repertoires

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) are present in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues and restrict immune activation, prevent autoimmunity and regulate inflammation. While Treg in non-lymphoid tissues are typically resident, Treg in lymph nodes (LNs) predominantly recirculate and residency of Treg in LNs is poorly studied. Here, we show that 10-20% of all Treg in LNs are memory-like resident cells. Both thymic and peripheral Treg contributed to the pool of resident Treg and their residency did not require continuous TCR signaling. Yet, resident and circulating Treg had distinct TCR repertoires and different LNs contained distinct clonal subpopulations of resident Treg. We speculate that stochastic selection and variation in antigen availability governs commitment of individual T cell clones to the resident pool in each LN. Our results describe a framework for local fine-tuning of immune responses in LNs based on previous adaptive immune responses.

Resident regulatory T cells reflect the immune history of individual lymph nodes

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) are present in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues where they restrict immune activation, prevent autoimmunity and regulate inflammation. Treg in non-lymphoid tissues are typically resident, while those in lymph nodes (LNs) are considered to recirculate. However, Treg in LNs are not a homogenous population and circulation kinetics of different Treg subsets are poorly characterized. Furthermore, whether Treg can acquire memory T cell properties and persist for extended periods after their activation in LNs is unclear. Here, we used in situ labeling with a stabilized photoconvertible protein to uncover turnover rates of Treg in LNs in vivo. We found that while the majority of Treg in LNs recirculate, 10-20% are memory-like resident cells that remain in their respective LNs for weeks to months. Single cell RNA sequencing revealed that LN-resident cells are a functionally and ontogenetically heterogeneous population and share the same core residency gene signature with conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Resident cells in LNs did not actively proliferate and did not require continuous TCR signaling for their residency. Yet, resident and circulating Treg had distinct TCR repertoires, and each LN contained exclusive clonal subpopulations of resident Treg. Our results demonstrate that, similar to conventional T cells, Treg can form resident memory-like populations in LNs after adaptive immune responses. Specific and local suppression of immune responses by resident Treg in draining LNs might provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of local chronic inflammatory conditions.

Fibroblastic reticular cells serve as primary immune checkpoint in visceral adipose tissues and secure peritoneal immunity

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Treg cells from human blood differentiate into non-lymphoid tissue-resident effector cells upon TNFR2 costimulation

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells can facilitate transplant tolerance and attenuate autoimmune- and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, it is clinically relevant to stimulate Treg cell expansion and function in vivo and to create therapeutic Treg cell products in vitro. We report that TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2) is a unique costimulus for naïve, thymus-derived (t)Treg cells from human blood that promotes their differentiation into non-lymphoid tissue (NLT)-resident effector Treg cells, without Th-like polarization. In contrast, CD28 costimulation maintains a lymphoid tissue (LT)-resident Treg cell phenotype. We base this conclusion on transcriptome and proteome analysis of TNFR2- and CD28-costimulated CD4+ Treg cells and conventional T (Tconv) cells, followed by bioinformatic comparison with published transcriptomic Treg cell signatures from NLT and LT in health and disease, including autoimmunity and cancer. These analyses illuminate that TNFR2 costimulation promotes Treg cell capacity for survival, migration, immunosuppression and tissue regeneration. Functional studies confirmed improved migratory ability of TNFR2-costimulated tTreg cells. Flow cytometry validated the presence of the TNFR2-driven Treg cell signature in effector/memory Treg cells from the human placenta as opposed to blood. Thus, TNFR2 can be exploited as driver of NLT-resident Treg cell differentiation for adoptive cell therapy or antibody-based immunomodulation in human disease.

CD4+ resident memory T cells dominate immunosurveillance and orchestrate local recall responses

Project description:This study examines the extent to which memory CD4+ T cells share immunosurveillance strategies with CD8+ resident memory T cells (TRM). After acute viral infection, memory CD4+ T cells predominantly utilized residence to survey nonlymphoid tissues, albeit not as stringently as observed for CD8+ T cells. In contrast, memory CD4+ T cells were more likely to be resident within lymphoid organs than CD8+ T cells. Migration properties of memory-phenotype CD4+ T cells in non-SPF parabionts were similar, generalizing these results to diverse infections and conditions. CD4+ and CD8+ TRM shared overlapping transcriptional signatures and location-specific features, such as granzyme B expression in the small intestine, revealing tissue-specific and migration property-specific, in addition to lineage-specific, differentiation programs. Functionally, mucosal CD4+ TRM reactivation locally triggered both chemokine expression and broad immune cell activation. Thus, residence provides a dominant mechanism for regionalizing CD4+ T cell immunity, and location enforces shared transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional properties with CD8+ T cells.

Fluorochrome-based definition of naturally occurring Foxp3+ regulatory T cells of intra- and extrathymic origin

Project description:Here, we report on experiments in double-transgenic mice, in which RFP is expressed in all Foxp3+ Treg cells, whereas Foxp3-dependent GFP expression is exclusively confined to intrathymically induced Foxp3+ Treg cells. This novel molecular genetic tool enabled us to faithfully track and characterize naturally induced Treg cells of intrathymic (RFP+GFP+) and extrathymic (RFP+GFPM-bM-^HM-^R) origin in otherwise unmanipulated mice. These experiments directly demonstrate that extrathymically induced Treg cells substantially contribute to the overall pool of mature Foxp3+ Treg cells residing in peripheral lymphoid tissues of steady-state mice. Furthermore, we provide evidence that intra- and extrathymically induced Foxp3+ Treg cells represent distinct phenotypic and functional sublineages. CD4+CD25+ RFP+GFP- and CD4+CD25+ RFP+GFP+ T cells from pooled lymph nodes and pooled spleens of 20 mice were FACS sorted for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays in duplicates.
