Suppression of ILC2 differentiation from committed T cell precursors by E protein transcription factors

ABSTRACT: Current models propose that group 2 innate lymphoid cells are generated in the bone marrow. Here we demonstrate that subsets of these cells can differentiate from multipotent progenitors and committed T cell precursors in the thymus, both in vivo and in vitro. These thymic ILC2s can exit the thymus, circulate in the blood and home to peripheral tissues. Ablation of E protein transcription factors greatly promotes the innate lymphoid cell fate at the expense of B and T cell development. Consistently, a transcriptional network centered on the ZBTB16 transcription factor and IL-4 signaling pathway is highly up-regulated due to E protein deficiency. Our results show that ILC2 can still be generated from what are normally considered to be committed T cell precursors, and that this alternative cell fate is restrained by high levels of E protein activity in these cells.

Innate versus adaptive lymphoid cell fate choice is controlled by the E-Id protein axis [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:The lymphoid branch of the immune defense is composed of innate and adaptive immune cells. Using multiple genetic strategies we demonstrate that in the thymus E2A and HEB act in synergy to establish T cell identity and to suppress the aberrant development of innate lymphoid cells that include ILC2 and LTi-like cells. We found that E2A and HEB induce T cell fate by activating the expression of an ensemble of genes encoding for proteins associated with Notch- and pre-TCR signaling and to promote TCRβ antigen receptor assembly. We show that E2A and HEB act in early T progenitors (ETPs) to establish and maintain a T-lineage specific enhancer repertoire, including regulatory elements associated with the Notch1/3 and Rag1/2 gene loci. Based on these and previous observations we propose that the E-Id protein axis specifies innate versus adaptive lymphoid cell fate.

Tissue-specific differentiation of a circulating CCR9- pDC-like common dendritic cell precursor

Project description:Committed precursors of conventional dendritic cells (pre-cDCs) derived from the common DC progenitor which differentiate into cDC subpopulations in peripheral tissues have been identified, but committed precursors for plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) have not been found. Here we show that CDP-derived ‘CCR9- MHCIIlow BST2+ Siglec-H+ pDCs from murine bone marrow which enter the circulation and peripheral tissues have a common DC precursor function in vivo in the steady state. Upon adoptive transfer the fate of CCR9- pDC-like precursors is governed by the tissues they enter. In the bone marrow and liver most transferred CCR9- pDC-like precursors differentiate into CCR9+ pDCs, whereas in peripheral lymphoid organs, lung and intestine they can give rise to CCR9+ pDCs and cDCs. Thus, CCR9- pDC-like cells are novel CDP-derived circulating DC precursors with pDC and cDC potential, whose final differentiation depends on tissue-specific factors allowing adaptation to local requirements. Total RNA obtained from CCR9- pDC-like common DC progenitors and CCR9+ pDCs was compared for differential gene expression. 3 independent isolations were performed for the 2 samples. 6 arrays were run in total.

Examination of genomic accessibility in embryonic thymus cell populations by ATAC-seq

Project description:ILC2 contribute to immune homeostasis, protective immunity and tissue repair. However, an understanding of the microenvironmental factors and transcriptional circuits that support development of these innate lymphocytes within lymphoid organs, alongside their adaptive T and B cell relatives, is only starting to emerge. Here we demonstrate that functional ILC2 arise in the embryonic thymus, from shared T cell precursors, and precede the emergence of CD4+CD8+ (double-positive) T cells. Strikingly, RORa expression repressed T cell development, whilst promoting ILC2 in the thymus. Thymic ILC2 go on to contribute to the innate type-2 response at mucosal tissues with preferential colonisation of the intestinal lamina propria. From RNAseq, ATACseq and ChIPseq data we propose a revised transcriptional circuit to explain the enigmatic co-development of T cells, ILC2 and NK cells from common progenitors in the thymus. When Notch signalling is present, Bcl11b dampens Nfil3/Id2 expression, permitting E protein-directed T cell commitment. However, concomitant expression of RORa overrides the Nfil3/Id2 repression, allowing Id2 to repress E proteins and promote ILC2 differentiation. Thus, we demonstrate that RORa expression represents a critical checkpoint at the bifurcation of the T cell and ILC2 lineages in the embryonic thymus.
