The aryl hydrocarbon receptor partially controls tissue adaptaion of intestinal eosinophils in mice

ABSTRACT: To determine how AHR affects eosinophil adaptation to the intestinal environment, eosinophils were sorted from the small intestine from WT, Ahr knockout and Ahrr knockout mice and compared by RNA sequencing. The canonical AHR pathway was active in murine intestinal eosinophils and limited eosinophil survival in the small intestine in a cell-intrinsic manner. Eosinophils from AHR-deficient mice retained increased expression of pathways associated with bone marrow eosinophils and failed to fully express the intestinal gene expression program, including extracellular matrix organization and cell junction pathways. Thus, our study demonstrates that the response to environmental triggers via AHR shapes tissue adaptation of eosinophils in the small intestine.

Clec4a4+ and Clec4a4- eosinophils in the small intestine

Project description:Eosinophils contribute to parasitic helminths- and allergens-induced type 2 immune responses. Although the gastrointestinal tract harbors a substantial number of eosinophils, the pathophysiological roles of intestinal eosinophils remain unclear. Here we identify a novel subset of eosinophil that expresses a repertoire of inhibitory molecules, including Clec4a4 and PD-L1. These Clec4a4+ leukocytes are blood-derived and exclusively present in the small intestine. Accordingly, this subset acquires imprinted features by the instruction of AHR signaling, which modulates immune responses to establish gut homeostasis. Selective depletion of AHR in eosinophils leads to a marked reduction of Clec4a4+PD-L1+ eosinophils and enhances the worm clearance accompanied by an increased type 2 immune response. Our findings may open new therapeutic avenues on primary eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders.

Tissue adaptaion of intestinal eosinophils in mice

Project description:To determine how eosinophils adapt to the intestinal environment, eosinophils were sorted from the bone marrow and small intestine and compared by RNA sequencing. We show here that intestinal eosinophils were specifically adapted to their environment and underwent substantial transcriptomic changes. Intestinal eosinophils upregulated genes relating to the immune response and cell-cell communication, extracellular matrix components and metalloproteases, and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand-activated transcription factor with broad functions in intestinal homeostasis.

Small Intestinal Resident Eosinophils Maintain Gut Homeostasis Following Microbial Colonisation

Project description:Intestinal homeostasis following postnatal microbial colonization requires the coordination of multiple processes, including the activation of immune cells, cell-cell communication, the controlled deposition of extracellular matrix, and epithelial cell turnover and differentiation. The intestine harbors the largest frequency of resident eosinophils of all homeostatic organs, yet the functional significance of eosinophil residence in the gut remains unclear. Eosinophils are equipped to both respond to, and modify, their local tissue environment and thus are able to regulate the adaption of tissues to environmental changes. We report a critical role for eosinophils in regulating villous structure, barrier integrity and motility in the small intestine. Notably, the microbiota was identified as a key driver of small intestinal eosinophil activation and function. Collectively our findings demonstrate a critical role for eosinophils in facilitating mutualistic interactions between host and microbiota and provide a rationale for the functional significance of their early life recruitment in the small intestine.

Metastasis-entrained eosinophils enhance lymphocyte-mediated anti-tumor immunity

Project description:The recognition of the immune system as a key component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) led to promising therapeutics. Since such therapies benefit only subsets of patients, understanding the activities of immune cells in the TME is required. Eosinophils are an integral part of the TME especially in mucosal tumors. Nonetheless, their role in the TME and the environmental cues that direct their activities are largely unknown, especially in metastasis. We report that breast cancer-driven lung metastasis is characterized by resident and recruited eosinophils. Eosinophil recruitment to the metastatic lung was regulated by G protein coupled receptor signaling but independent of CCR3. Functionally, eosinophils promoted lymphocyte-mediated anti tumor immunity. Transcriptome and proteomic analyses identified the TME rather than intrinsic differences between eosinophil subsets as a key instructing factor directing anti tumorigenic eosinophil activities. Specifically, TNF-a/IFN-g-activated eosinophils facilitated CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration and promoted anti-tumor immunity. Collectively, we identify a mechanism by which the TME entrains eosinophils to adopt anti-tumorigenic properties, which may lead to the development of eosinophil-targeted therapeutics.

Nutrient-derived signals regulate eosinophil adaptation to the small intestine

Project description:Eosinophils are commonly regarded as effector cells of type 2 immunity, yet they also accumulate in certain tissues during homeostasis - particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Our understanding of the processes that govern homeostatic eosinophil accumulation and tissue-specific adaptation, and their functional significance, remains very limited. Here, we investigated how eosinophils adapt to the small intestine microenvironment and the local signals that regulate this process. We observed that eosinophils gradually migrate up the crypt-villus axis, giving rise to a villus-resident subpopulation with a distinct transcriptional signature. Genetic deficiency of eosinophils resulted in a reduction of villus area, as well as a reduction of multiple other immune cell populations, demonstrating their diverse functions in this environment. We determined that retinoic acid receptor signaling is specifically required for the maintenance of villus-resident eosinophils, while IL-5 is largely dispensable outside of its canonical role in eosinophil production. In addition, we unexpectedly found that high protein diet suppresses the accumulation of villus-resident eosinophils. Purified amino acids were sufficient for this effect, which was a consequence of accelerated eosinophil turnover within the tissue microenvironment and not due to altered development in the bone marrow. Our study provides new insight into the process of eosinophil adaptation to the small intestine and its dependence on nutrient-derived signals.

Eosinophils promote lung emphysema via CTSL

Project description:Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) having higher blood eosinophil levels exhibit worse lung function and more severe emphysema, implying the potential role of eosinophils in emphysema development. However, the specific mechanism underlying eosinophil-mediated emphysema development is not fully elucidated. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to identify eosinophil subgroups in mouse models of asthma and emphysema and analyze their functions. Analysis of the accumulated eosinophils revealed differential transcriptomes between the mouse lungs of elastase-induced emphysema and ovalbumin-induced asthma., Eosinophil depletion alleviated elastase-induced emphysema. Notably, eosinophil-derived cathepsin L (CTSL) degraded the extracellular matrix (ECM), causing emphysema in the pulmonary tissue. Eosinophils were positively correlated with serum CTSL levels, which were increased in patients with emphysema than in those without emphysema. Collectively, these results suggest that CTSL expression in eosinophils plays an important role in ECM degradation and remodeling and is related to emphysema in patients with COPD. Therefore, eosinophil-derived CTSL may serve as a potential therapeutic target for patients with emphysema.

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Repressor Prevents Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis of Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that buoys intestinal immune responses. AHR induces its own negative regulator, the AHR repressor (AHRR). Here we show that AHRR is vital to sustain intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). Fewer IEL of all types were present in the absence of AHRR. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) revealed an oxidative cell stress profile in Ahrr–/– IEL. Ahrr deficiency unleashed AHR-induced expression of CYP1A1, an oxidative enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species; this resulted in elevated intracellular content of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in Ahrr–/– IEL. Dietary supplementation with selenium or Vitamin-E (Vit-E) to restore redox homeostasis rescued Ahrr–/– IEL. Loss of IEL in Ahrr deficient mice caused susceptibility to Clostridium difficile infection and dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis. We conclude that AHR signaling must be tightly regulated to prevent oxidative stress and ferroptosis of IEL to preserve intestinal immune responses.
