Polychromic reporter mice reveal unappreciated innate lymphoid cell progenitor heterogeneity and elusive ILC3 progenitors in bone marrow

ABSTRACT: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play strategic roles in tissue homeostasis and immunity. ILCs arise from lymphoid progenitors undergoing lineage restriction leading to the development of specialised ILC subsets. We generated ‘5x polychromILC’ compound transcription factor reporter mice to delineate ILC precursor states by revealing the multifaceted expression of key ILC-associated transcription factors (Id2, Bcl11b, Gata3, Rorc(γt) and Rora) during ILC development in the bone marrow. This approach allowed previously unattained enrichment of rare progenitor subsets and revealed hitherto unappreciated ILC precursor heterogeneity. In vivo and in vitro assays identified novel precursors with potential to generate all ILC subsets and natural killer cells, and also permitted discrimination of elusive ILC3 bone marrow antecedents. Single cell gene expression analysis identified a discrete ILC2-committed population and delineated transition states between early progenitors and a highly heterogeneous ILC1/3/NK precursor cell cluster. This diversity may facilitate greater lineage potential upon progenitor recruitment to peripheral tissues.

Comprehensive protein-expression map of ILC2 and ILC3 subsets in healthy human skin

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have emerged as essential players in the skin-associated immune system in health and inflammatory skin diseases. Their low numbers and lack of specific markers hampered extensive characterization and consequently resulted in limited knowledge of their protein expression. Here, we combined flow cytometry and state-of-the-art proteomics to comprehensively describe the proteins constitutively expressed by ILC2 and ILC3 subsets derived from healthy human skin and peripheral blood. We quantified 6666 proteins from skin ILC and identified 608 differentially expressed proteins in the investigated subsets. In addition to the current analyses, highlighting new functions of ILC, the ILC proteomic libraries and the proteomes of the ILC2 and ILC3 subsets will serve as valuable resources for future analyses of ILC function and are available at http://skin.science.

Single-cell deciphering of human fetal innate lymphoid cell development

Project description:The functions of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in immune system are increasingly appreciated, whereas the early development of ILCs in human remains elusive. In this study, we sorted humanhematopoietic stem progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitors, presumed ILC progenitor/precursors and mature ILCs in the fetal hematopoietic, lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues, from 8 to 12 PCW,for single-cell RNA-sequencing, followed by computational analysis and functional validation. We delineated the early phase of ILC development, from hematopoietic stem progenitor cells to multipotent lymphoid progenitors and to ILC progenitors, which mainly occurred in fetal liver and intestine. We further unveiled interleukin-3 receptor alpha (IL-3RA) as the surface marker for the lymphoid progenitors with T cell, B cell and ILC potentials. Notably, we determined the heterogeneity and tissue distribution of each ILC subpopulation, revealing the shared proliferating characteristics of the precursors of each ILC subtype. Additionally, a novel unconventional ILC2 subpopulation (CRTH2-CCR9+ ILC2) was identified in fetal thymus. Taken together, our study illuminates the precise cellular and molecular features underlying the stepwise formation of human fetal ILC hierarchy with remarkable spatiotemporal heterogeneity.

Transcriptional profiles of human circulating innate lymphoid cells and CD4 T helper cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are part of the innate immune cell family. Three different subsets of ILCs, ILC1s, ILC2s and ILCPs can be identified in human peripheral blood. Based on their expression of transcription factors and cytokines, they are considered as being the innate counterparts of CD4 T helper subsets, namely Th1s, Th2s and Th17s. However, ILCs and Th cells have different roles in immunity. Therefore, we compared the transcriptomes of sorted ILC1s, ILC2s, ILCPs, Th1s, Th2s and Th17s from the peripheral blood of three different donors. RNA sequencing of ILC and Th subsets revealed differences in the expression of tens to hundreds of genes. These genes are involved in cell trafficking, innate activation and inhibitory functions. ILC and Th cell subsets also differ in their expressions of long-non coding RNAs.

Effect of ET-2 expression of innate Lymphocyte precursors (ILCPs)

Project description:Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphoid cells that reside mostly at barrier surfaces and participate in the initial response against pathogens. They are classified into different effector programs that parallel T helper subsets based on cytokine production and transcription factor expression. They all derive from the Common Lymphoid Precursor, but the molecular mechanisms regulating ILC subset development into effector programs is not well understood. Experiments using Id2 knockout mice have previously shown that E-protein activity inhibition is an absolute requirement for development of all ILC subsets. Here, we use a genetic approach to demonstrate that small increases in E protein activity during ILC development selectively inhibit ILC2 development. ILC1 are mostly unperturbed, and ILC3 show only a minor inhibition. This effect is first evident at the ILC2P stage and is ILC intrinsic. Therefore, our results demonstrate that modulation of E protein activity can bias cell fate decisions in developing ILCs.

The transcription factor GATA3 is critical for the development of all IL-7Ra-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and maintenance of type 2 ILCs

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles during innate immune responses to pathogens and lymphoid organ development. IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets, similar to T helper (Th) cell subsets, produce distinctive effector cytokines. The molecular control of IL-7Ra+ ILC development and maintenance has yet to be dissected. Here we report that GATA3 is indispensable for the development of all IL-7Ra+ ILC subsets and T cells. Gata3 conditional deficient mice have no lymph nodes and are susceptible to Citrobactor rodentium infection. Genome-wide gene analyses indicate that GATA3 regulates similar set of cytokines and receptors in ILC2s and Th2 cells and is critical for the maintenance of ILC2s. Thus, GATA3 plays parallel roles in establishing and regulating both adaptive and innate lymphocytes. To identify GATA3 regulated genes in type 2 innate lymphoid cells by tamoxifen-mediated acute deletion of Gata3 gene.

Differential Expression of the Transcription Factor GATA3 Specifies Lineage and Functions of Innate Lymphoid Cells

Project description:Lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are regarded as a subset of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). However, these cells are not derived from the ILC common progenitor, which generates other ILC subsets and is defined by the expression of the transcription factor PLZF. Here we examined transcription factor(s) determining the fate of LTi progenitor versus non-LTi ILC progenitor. Conditional deletion of Gata3 resulted in the loss of PLZF+ non-LTi progenitors but not the LTi progenitors that expressed the transcription factor RORγt. Consistently, PLZF+ non-LTi progenitors expressed high amounts of GATA3 whereas GATA3 expression was low in RORγt+ LTi progenitors. The generation of both progenitors required the transcriptional regulator Id2, which defines the common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitor, but not cytokine signaling. Nevertheless, low GATA3 expression was necessary for the generation of functionally mature LTi cells. Thus, differential expression of GATA3 determines the fates and functions of distinct ILC progenitors.

Dynamic single-cell regulomes characterize human peripheral blood ILC subpopulations [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are highly plastic immune cells that have been separated into 3 main subsets, characterized by distinct phenotypic and functional profiles. Using single cell approaches, heightened heterogeneity of mouse ILCs has been recently appreciated, imprinted by tissue signals that shape their transcriptome and epigenome. Intra-subset diversity has also been observed in human ILCs. However, combined transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses of single ILCs in humans are lacking. Here we show high transcriptional and epigenetic heterogeneity among human circulating ILCs in healthy individuals. We describe phenotypically distinct subclusters within main circulating ILC populations. We show diverse chromatin accessibility within main ILC subsets, compatible with differentially poised states. We validate the use of this healthy donor-based analysis as resource dataset to infer ILC changes occurring in disease conditions. Overall, our work provides new insights in the complex human ILC biology. We anticipate our work to be a starting point to facilitate hypothesis-driven studies in patients, without the need to perform single cell OMICs using precious patients’ material

Systemic human ILC precursors provide a substrate for tissue ILC differentiation

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We observed that a population of CD117+ ILC from peripheral blood (PB) of healthy donors does not represent any conical ILC subset, but expressed marker (CD117) commonly expressed by hemato-lymphoid progenitors. We therefore hypothesized PB CD117+ ILC might include uncommitted lymphoid precursors. In order to further understand the identity of PB CD117+ ILC, we profiled the transcriptome of highly purified circulating CD117+ ILC compared to CD34+ HSC, the latter representing immature hematopoietic progenitors with multi-lineage potential. Clear differences in gene expression profiles emerged, with a large cluster of 1540 genes expressed at substantially higher levels in CD117+ ILC. In contrast, CD34+ HSC cells highly expressed genes involved in the broad development of diverse hematopoietic lineages. Compared to HSC, CD117+ ILC express high levels of TF that have been shown to be essential for murine ILC development and we did not detect transcripts characteristic of T and B cells development. Transcriptomic analysis suggested that CD117+ ILC represent lymphoid-biased progenitors carrying a TF expression profile resembling a multi-potent ILC precursor (ILCP).
