Project description:Single-cell suspensions of small bowel lamina propria, small bowel epithelium, and whole colon were purified from mice sufficient, deficient, and heterozygous for sialic acid transferase ST8Sia6. Cells were enriched for CD45 expression, hashtagged according to genotype, and analyzed by 10x scRNA sequencing using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 as well as by 10X CITEseq to identify hashtags.

Project description:Retinoic-acid receptor-related orphan receptor-γt-positive (RORγt+) innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) produce interleukin (IL)-22 and IL-17, which are critical for protective immunity against enteric pathogens. The molecular mechanism underlying the development and survival of RORγt+ ILCs is not thoroughly understood. Here we show that Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8), a scaffolding protein involved in cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell migration, is essential for the protective immunity against Citrobacter rodentium. A comparative RNA sequencing-based analysis reveals an impaired induction of antimicrobial peptides in the colon of DOCK8-deficient mice, which correlates with high susceptibility to infection and a very low number of IL-22-producing RORγt+ ILCs in their GI tract. Furthermore, DOCK8-deficient RORγt+ ILCs are less responsive to IL-7 mediated signaling, more prone to apoptosis and produce less IL-22 due to a defect in IL-23-mediated STAT3 phosphorylation. Our studies reveal an unsuspected role of DOCK8 for the function, generation and survival of RORγt+ ILCs. Control and DOCK8 KO mice were infected with 2X109 CFU of Citrobacter rodentium and day 8 post infection mice were sacrificed and their colons were harvested (n=5) . Total RNA was purified from the infected colons with RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). RNA sequencing was performed (pooled RNA sample from five mice in each group) at Genomic Core Facility Southwestern Medical Center, University of Texas.

Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the global transcriptional profiles of small intestine (SI) Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) expressing the NK cell marker NKp46. Based on differential expression of the RORgt transcription factor SI NKp46+ ILCs can be divided in NKp46+RORgt- and NKp46+RORgt+ cells. While NKp46+RORgt- cells produce IFN-g, like conventional Natural Killer (NK) cells, NKp46+RORgt+ cells secrete IL-22, like Lymphoid Tissue inducer (LTi) cells. We compared the global transcriptional profiles of both NKp46+RORgt- and NKp46+RORgt+ cells to conventional splenic NK cells and to SI NKp46-RORgt+ cells, which contain adult LTi cells. By following this approach, we showed that SI NKp46+RORγt- ILCs correspond to SI NK cells. We also identified a transcriptional program conserved in adult SI NKp46+RORγt+, NKp46-RORγt+ ILCs and fetal LTi. The various ILC cell populations analyzed in this study were isolated from C57BL/6 RORc(gt)+/GFP reporter mice. SI NKp46+RORγt- (NKp46+GFP-) cells, SI NKp46+RORγt+ cells (NKp46+GFPlow and NKp46+GFPhigh cells) and NKp46-RORγt+ ILCs, including adult LTi cells , were sorted by flow cytometry from CD3- lamina propria cells of small intestine (SI) of RORc(γt)+/GFP reporter mice . Splenic NKp46+RORγt- (NKp46+GFP-) cells were also sorted as the reference for conventional NK cells. Two replicates of each populations were produced and analyzed.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) promote lung inflammation in diseases such as asthma through cytokine production. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical post-transcriptional regulators of cellular function though the role of RBPs in innate lymphoid cells is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that RNA-binding motif 3 protein (RBM3) is one of the most highly expressed RBPs in Thy1.2+ lung ILCs after fungal allergen challenge and is further induced by epithelial cytokines TSLP and IL-33 in both human and mouse ILCs. Single (rbm3-/-) and double (rbm3-/-rag2-/-) knockout mice exposed via the airway to the asthma-associated fungal allergen Alternaria alternata displayed increases in eosinophilic lung inflammation and ILC activation compared to control mice. In addition to increased Th2 cytokine production, rbm3-/- ILCs produced elevated IL-17A. The negative regulation by RBM3 in ILC responses was direct as purified rbm3-/- ILCs were hyperinflammatory in vitro and in vivo after stimulation with IL-33. Transcriptomic analysis by RNA-sequencing of rbm3-/- lung ILCs showed increased type 2 and 17 cytokines as well as global expression differences in critical cytokines, receptors, transcription factors, and survival transcripts compared with WT ILCs. Importantly, these transcript changes were independent of the numbers of AU-rich elements (AREs) which RBM3 is known to bind. Thus, regulation of ILC responses by RNA-binding proteins offers novel mechanistic insight into lung ILC biology and ILC-driven inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Anti CD90 was used to deplete ILCs in RAG mice at point of iniation of DSS colitis in Rag mice. After 6 days the Macrophages were sorted from the colon and compared by using RNASeq to mice in which ILCs had not been repleted but still had colitus induced.

Project description:We previously found that while CCR10+ ILCs are dominant in the healthy skin, they differentiate into CCR10- ILCs in the skin of mice with various dysregulated or inflammatory conditions, such as T/B cell-deficient Rag1-/- mice. These suggest that CCR10- ILCs are activated effector cells in response to altered skin environments. To gain clues about the functional mechanism and regulation of the ILC activation in the skin, we compared gene expression profiles of CCR10+ skin ILCs of wild-type (WT) mice versus CCR10- or CCR10low skin ILCs of WT and Rag1-/- mice using microarray analyses. Skin innate lymphoid cells were isolated by BD FACSAria sorting system. The microarry was perfomanced by Immunological Genome Project using Affymetrix arrays and used for analysis of gene expresssion of CCR10+ ILCs and CCR10- ILCs in different mice species as indicated.

Project description:Although small intestine epithelium has been studied widely in murine, a comprehensive expression landscape in human is still lacking. To explore the cellular diversity of human small intestine epithelium, we sampled the ileal crypts from two patients suffered from right-sided colon cancer while their ilea were relatively normal. scRNA-seq libraries were generated using the 10X v3 Kit, which could guarantee both throughput and quality
