Stepwise chromatin and transcriptional acquisition of an intraepithelial lymphocyte program

ABSTRACT: Mesenteric lymph node (mLN) T cells undergo tissue adaptation upon migrating to intestinal lamina propria (LP) and intraepithelial (IE) compartments, ensuring appropriate balance between tolerance and resistance. By combining mouse genetics with single-cell and chromatin analyses, we addressed the molecular imprinting of gut epithelium on T cells. Transcriptionally, conventional and regulatory (Treg) CD4+ T cells from mLN, LP and IE segregate based on the gut layer they occupy; trajectory analysis suggests a stepwise loss of CD4-programming and acquisition of an intraepithelial profile. Treg fate–mapping coupled with RNA– and ATAC–sequencing revealed that the Treg program shuts down before an intraepithelial program becomes fully accessible at the epithelium. Ablation of CD4 lineage–defining transcription factor ThPOK results in premature acquisition of an IEL profile by mLN Tregs, partially recapitulating epithelium imprinting. Thus, coordinated replacement of circulating lymphocyte program with site–specific transcriptional and chromatin changes is necessary for tissue imprinting.

Tissue-specific Emergence of Regulatory and Intraepithelial T Cells from a Clonal T-cell Precursor

Project description:We used RNA sequencing to characterize gene expression of CD4+ CD8α+ double positive (DP), Foxp3+ Treg (TR) and CD4+ single positive (SP) cells in the lamina propria (LP) and intraepithelial compartment (IEL) that had differentiante from the same clonal transnuclear (TN) precursor.

iTreg cells compared to WT Total Treg

Project description:iTreg cells from Tbmc mLN mice treated with one week of 1% Oral Ova were compared to Total Treg from WT mice. Tbmc mice were treated with 1% Oral Ova and Foxp3 GFP+ CD4+ cells were sorted from mLN. CD4+ Foxp3+ cells were also sorted from WT Foxp3 GFP Balb/c mice.

Single cell RNA and TCR profiling of tetramer sorted mouse mLN and IELs.

Project description:We utilized H2-I-Ab tetramers to isolate CD4 T cells from mice to characterize the functional characteristics of ileal intraepithelial T cells and their lymphoid counterparts in the corresponding draining lymph nodes (mLN). Non-CD4 T cells (B220+, CD11b+, CD11c+, F4/80+, CD8a+) were excluded before FACS-sorting of CD45+CD3+CD4+ tetramer-specific T cells discriminated by double-positive staining with dual-labeled tetramer fluorophores. We recovered tetramer+ and tetramer- IELs and mLN T cells, and profiled them by single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing.

T cell receptor is required for differentiation but not maintenance of intestinal CD4+ intraepithelial lymphocytes

Project description:The gut epithelium is populated by intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), a heterogeneous T cell population with cytotoxic and regulatory properties, which can be imprinted on CD4+ T cells at the epithelium. However, the role of the T cell receptor (TCR) in this process remains unclear. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct clonal expansions between cell states, with CD4-IELs being one of the least diverse populations. Conditional deletion of TCR on differentiating CD4+ T cells or of MHCII on intestinal epithelial cells prevented CD4-IEL differentiation. However, TCR ablation on differentiated CD4-IELs, or long-term cognate antigen withdraw, did not affect their maintenance. TCR re-engaging of antigen-specific CD4-IELs during Listeria monocytogenes infection did not alter their state but correlated with reduced bacteria invasion. Thus, local antigen recognition is an essential signal for differentiation of T cells at the epithelium but differentiated CD4-IELs are able to preserve an effector program in the absence of TCR signaling.

Neonatally imprinted mesenteric lymph node stromal cell subsets induce tolerogenic dendritic cells [endogenous FSCs]

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) play a key role in peripheral tolerance towards food and commensal antigens by providing an optimal microenvironment for efficient de novo induction of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). We recently identified mLN stromal cells as critical cellular players in this process and demonstrated that their tolerogenic properties are imprinted by microbiota. Here, we show that this imprinting process already takes place in the neonatal phase and renders the mLN stromal cell compartment resistant to inflammatory perturbations later in life. Utilizing LN transplantation, RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq allowed identification of stably imprinted expression signatures in mLN fibroblastic stromal cells. We dissected common stromal cell subsets across gut-draining mLNs and skin-draining LNs with location-specific immunomodulatory functions, such as subset-specific expression of Aldh1a2/3. Accordingly, mLN stromal cells shaped resident dendritic cells to attain high Treg-inducing capacity in a Bmp2-dependent manner. Thus, crosstalk between mLN stromal and resident dendritic cells provides a robust feedback mechanism for the maintenance of intestinal tolerance.
