GM-CSF-producing T helper cells: a distinct subset of T helper cells that acquire Th1 phenotype during the CNS inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Using scRNA-seq and CyTOF, we identified eight populations of antigen-experienced CD45RA-CD4+ T cells in blood of healthy donors, including a population of GM-CSF-producing Th cells (ThGM) that lacked expression of signature transcription factors and cytokines of established Th lineages. In addition to GM-CSF, human and mouse ThGM cells also expressed IL-2, TNF, IL-3 and CCL20. ThGM cells maintained their phenotype through several cycles of activation, but upregulated expression of T-bet and IFN-g upon exposure to IL-12 in vitro, and in the CNS of mice with autoimmune neuroinflammation. ThGM cells were encephalitogenic; T-bet was not required for their development, but it was required for their encephalitogenicity. These findings demonstrate that ThGM cells constitute a distinct population of Th cells with lineage characteristics.

Transcription factor RUNX3 mediates plasticity of ThGM cells toward Th1 phenotype.

Project description:GM-CSF-producing T helper (Th) cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies have identified a distinct population of GM-CSF-producing Th cells, named ThGM cells, that also express cytokines TNF, IL-2, and IL-3, but lack expression of master transcription factors (TF) and signature cytokines of commonly recognized Th cell lineages. ThGM cells are highly encephalitogenic in a mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Similar to Th17 cells, in response to IL-12, ThGM cells upregulate expression of T-bet and IFN-g and switch their phenotype to Th1. Here we show that in addition to T-bet, TF RUNX3 also contributes to the Th1 switch of ThGM cells. T-bet-deficient ThGM cells in the CNS of mice with EAE had low expression of RUNX3, and knockdown of RUNX3 expression in ThGM cells abrogated the Th1-inducing effect of IL-12. Comparison of ThGM and Th1 cell transcriptomes showed that ThGM cells expressed a set of TFs known to inhibit the development of other Th lineages. Lack of expression of lineage-specific cytokines and TFs by ThGM cells, together with expression of TFs that inhibit the development of other Th lineages, suggests that ThGM cells are a non-polarized subset of Th cells with lineage characteristics.

Single cell immune profiling reveals a developmentally distinct CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell lineage that induces GI tract GVHD

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement is a major determinant for subsequent morbidity and mortality arising during graft versus host disease (GVHD). CD4+ T cells that produce GM-CSF have emerged as central mediators of inflammation in this tissue site as GM-CSF serves as a critical cytokine link between the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system. However, cellular heterogeneity within the CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population due to the concurrent production of other inflammatory cytokines has raised questions as to whether these cells have a common ontology or if there exists a unique CD4+ GM-CSF+ subset that differs from other defined T helper (TH) subtypes. Using single cell RNA sequencing analysis, we identified two CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell populations that arose during GVHD and were distinguishable by the presence or absence of IFN-γ co-expression. CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ- T cells which emerged preferentially in the colon had a distinct transcriptional profile, employed unique gene regulatory networks, and possessed a non-overlapping TCR repertoire when compared to CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ+ T cells as well as all other transcriptionally defined CD4+ T cell populations in the colon. Functionally, this CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population contributed to pathological damage in the GI tract which was critically dependent upon signaling through the IL-7 receptor but was independent of type 1 interferon signaling. Thus, these studies help to unravel heterogeneity within CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cells that arise during GVHD and define a developmentally distinct colitogenic TH GM-CSF+ subset that mediates immunopathology.

Differential analysis of GM-CSF-induced inflammatory monocyte-derived cells (MCs) isolated from various organs

Project description:Elevated frequencies of GM-CSF-producing helper T (TH) cells are consistently found in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and GM-CSF expression is a non-redundant feature of pathogenic TH cells in preclinical models of MS. GM-CSF activates an inflammatory signature in monocytes, and their progeny are the most abundant cellular infiltrate in acute MS lesions. To model deregulated GM-CSF levels, we generated a transgenic mouse line allowing the induction of GM-CSF expression in mature, peripheral TH cells. This antigen-independent GM-CSF release induced severe neurological deficits with almost 100% penetrance, accompanied by the infiltration of inflammatory monocyte-derived myeloid cells into the brain stem and spinal cord. Other organs did not show obvious signs for clinical pathology, despite also being infiltrated by inflammatory myeloid cells. We aim to unravel differences between organs, their responses and also the potential of tissue destruction by infiltrating cells by sequencing inflammatory myeloid cells isolate from the individual organs.

Expression data from in vitro differentiated MDSC

Project description:MDSC (myeloid-derived suppressor cells) can be differentiated in vitro using IL-6 and GM-CSF. To identify the specific role of IL-6 in this process, we used microarray to compare MDSC differentiated with IL-6 and GM-CSF to MDSC differentiated with GM-CSF alone. We have found genes and pathways that are up- or downregulated when IL-6 is present.

Single-cell clonotype tracing identifies a stem-like intestinal Th17 population that gives rise to pathogenic effector T cells during autoimmunity

Project description:While intestinal Th17 cells are critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis, recent studies in both humans and mice have implicated their roles in the development of extra-intestinal autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. However, the mechanisms by which tissue Th17 cells mediate these dichotomous functions remain unknown. Here, we characterized the heterogeneity, plasticity, and migratory phenotypes of tissue Th17 cells in vivo by combining fate mapping with single-cell RNA sequencing to profile the transcriptomes and TCR clonotypes of over 84,000 Th17 cells at homeostasis and during CNS autoimmune inflammation. Inter- and intra-organ single-cell analyses revealed a homeostatic, stem-like TCF1+ IL-17+ SLAMF6+ population that traffics to the intestine where it is maintained by the microbiota, providing a ready-reservoir for the IL-23-driven generation of encephalitogenic GM-CSF+ IFNγ+ CXCR6+ T cells. Our study defines a direct relationship in vivo between IL-17+ non-pathogenic and GM-CSF+ and IFNγ+ pathogenic Th17 populations and provides, for the first time, a mechanism by which homeostatic intestinal Th17 cells direct extra-intestinal autoimmune disease.

Project description:Gene expression induced by IL-4 and IL-4 superkines on CD14+ monocytes cultured in the presence of GM-CSF. Super-4 and KFR signal preferentially through the type I and type II IL-4 receptor, respectively. Five biological replicates (n=5 healthy donors), four conditions: GM-CSF alone or in combination with IL-4, Super-4 or KFR. Two colors: Cy3 for GM-CSF alone, Cy5 for any combination. Cells were cultured for 6 hours with 50 ng/ml of GM-CSF and 20 ng/ml of IL-4, Super-4 or KFR.
