A discrete subset of epigenetically primed human NK cells mediates antigen-specific immune responses

ABSTRACT: Adaptive features of natural killer (NK) cells have been reported in various species with different underlying mechanisms. It is unclear, however, which NK cell populations are capable of mounting antigen-specific recall responses, and how such functions are regulated at the molecular level. Here we identify and characterize a discrete population of CD49a+CD16- NK cells in the human liver that display increased epigenetic potential to elicit memory responses and has the functional properties to exert antigen-specific immunity on the skin as an effector site. Integrated chromatin-based epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling revealed unique characteristics of hepatic CD49a+CD16- NK cells when compared to conventional CD49a-CD16+ NK cells thereby defining active genomic regions and molecules underpinning distinct NK cell reactivity. In contrast to conventional NK cells, our results suggest adaptive CD49a+CD16- NK cells to be able to bypass the KIR receptor-ligand system upon antigen-specific stimulation. Furthermore, these cells were highly migratory towards chemokine gradients expressed in epicutaneous patch test lesions as an effector site of adaptive immune responses of the skin. These results define pathways operative in human antigen-specific memory NK cells and provide a roadmap for harnessing this NK cell subset for specific therapeutic or prophylactic vaccine strategies.

RNA sequencing of NK cells in human lung

Project description:Human lung tissue-resident NK cells (trNK cells) are likely to play important roles in viral infections, inflammation and cancer. However, knowledge about lung trNK cells is lacking but is fundamental for exploiting these cells in therapeutic approaches. Here we analysed the transcriptome of CD69+CD49a+CD103+CD16-CD56bright, CD69+CD49a+CD103-CD16-CD56bright, CD69+CD49a-CD103-CD16-CD56bright, CD69-CD49a-CD103-CD16-CD56bright, and CD56dimCD16+NKG2A+CD57- NK cells isolated from human lung.

Fate mapping of single NK cells identifies a type 1 innate lymphoid-like lineage that bridges innate and adaptive recognition of viral infection [scRNAseq_spleen_LN_total_NK]

Project description:Upon viral infection, NK cells expressing certain germline-encoded receptors are selected, expanded and maintained in an adaptive-like manner. Currently, these are thought to differentiate along a common pathway. However, by fate mapping of single NK cells upon murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, we identified two distinct NK cell lineages that contributed to adaptive-like responses. One was equivalent to conventional NK (cNK) cells while the other was transcriptionally similar to type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). ILC1-like NK cells showed splenic-residency and strong cytokine production but also recognized and killed MCMV-infected cells, guided by activating receptor Ly49H. Moreover, they induced clustering of conventional type 1 dendritic cells and facilitated antigen-specific T cell priming early during MCMV infection, which depended on Ly49H and the NK cell-intrinsic expression of transcription factor Batf3. Thereby, ILC1-like NK cells bridge innate and adaptive viral recognition and unite critical features of cNK cells and ILC1s.

Human-induced CD49a+ NK cells promote fetal growth

Project description:CD49a+ natural killer (NK) cells are critical in promoting fetal development and maintaining immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface in early pregnancy. However, their tissue residency in human tissue hinder thorough studies and clinical application. How to induce functional human CD49a+ NK cells that could benefit pregnancy outcomes is still unknown. Here, we have established three no feeder cell induction systems to induce human CD49a+ NK cells from umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bone marrow HSCs or peripheral blood NK cells, respectively. These induced NK cells (iNKs) from three cell induction systems show high expression of CD49a, CD9, CD39, CD151, low expression of CD16, and no obvious cytotoxic capability, phenotypically and functionally similar with decidual NK cells. Furthermore, these iNKs also have high expression of growth-promoting factors and proangiogenic factors. Importantly, these iNKs have shown their capabilities to promote fetal growth and improve uterine artery blood flow in a murine pregnancy model in vivo. This research reveals properties of human-induced CD49a+ NK cells in promoting fetal growth from three cell induction systems, which may improve the feasibility of applying these iNKs to the patients having adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Toxoplasma gondii Infection Promotes NK Cell Conversion into ILC1s and Heterogeneous ILC1 Populations

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise several subsets that were originally classified based on their cytokine production profiles. Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) were initially classified together, but recent data supported their separation into different lineages. Here we describe how infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induces changes to NK1.1+ NKp46+ cells that persist independent of ongoing infection. Notably, there is an expansion of Eomes– CD49a+ cells that superficially resemble ILC1s, but express unique genes, circulate throughout the vasculature, and possess distinct epigenetic marks. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirms T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells are distinct from both conventional NK cells and ILC1s. Furthermore, there is heterogeneity within this population, as both conventional NK cells and ILC1s contribute to their formation. Indeed, downregulation of Eomes within conventional NK cells accounts for most T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells, indicating that NK cells can give rise to cells resembling ILC1s during infection.

Epigenetic modification and antibody-dependent expansion of memory-like NK cells in human cytomegalovirus-infected individuals

Project description:As a starting point for exploring potential differences in gene expression between conventional NK and FcRγ-NK cells, and to screen for genes that might contribute to the enhanced CD16 responsiveness of g-NK cells, we performed gene expression profiling studies on sorted samples of NK cells. NKG2C, NCR, and KIR surface receptors were used to separate FcRγ- NK and conventional NK cells.
