Postnatal expansion of the lymph node stromal cell pool towards reticular and CD34+ stromal cell subsets [scRNA-seq III]

ABSTRACT: Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) provide the framework and microenvironment to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in composition and immuno-modulatory function of SCs. Here, we dissect the tissue-specific epigenomic DNA accessibility and CpG methylation landscape of LN non-endothelial SCs and identify a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature of LN SCs. By combined analysis of transcription factor (TF) binding sites together with the gene expression profiles of non-endothelial SCs, we delineated TFs poising skin-draining peripheral LN (pLN) SCs for pro-inflammatory responses. Furthermore, using scRNA-seq, we dissected the developmental trajectory of mLN SCs derived from postnatal to aged mice, identifying two distinct putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid postnatal LN expansion. Finally, we identified Irf3 as a key differentiation TF inferred from the epigenomic signature of mLN SCs that is dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs, and validated Irf3 as a regulator of Cxcl9+ FRC differentiation. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of mLN development and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of mLN non-endothelial SCs. As such, our findings represent a valuable resource to identify core transcriptional regulators that impinge on the developing mLN early in life, thereby shaping long-lasting intestinal adaptive immune responses.

Postnatal expansion of the lymph node stromal cell pool towards reticular and CD34+ stromal cell subsets [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in SC composition and immunomodulatory function. Here, using scRNA-seq we dissected the developmental trajectory of SCs within mLNs derived from postnatal to aged mice, and identified two putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid LN expansion postnatally. We further unraveled the tissue-specific chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation landscape of non-endothelial SCs, and identified a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature, showcasing differences between SCs from mLN and skin-draining peripheral LN. Irf3 was inferred from the epigenomic landscape of SCs, being dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs. Lentiviral overexpression of Irf3 in a mesenchymal stem cell line established a Cxcl9+ FRC molecular phenotype. The relevance of Irf3 for SC biology was further underscored by the diminished proportion of Ccl19+ and Cxcl9+ FRCs in LNs from Irf3-/- mice. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of LNSC development in early life and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of non-endothelial SCs.

Dynamic responses by lymph node stromal cells to primary and secondary infection.

Project description:Lymph nodes (LN) are constructed of intricate networks of endothelial and mesenchymal stromal cells. These include the fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC), lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) and blood endothelial cells (BEC). We performed a comprehensive analysis of LSC responses to skin viral infection and found that LSC subsets responded robustly. Infection induced rapid transcriptional regulation of large numbers of both shared and unique genes in FRC, LEC and BEC to support LN remodeling and the immune response. This transcriptional program was transient, returning to homeostasis within one month of infection. Yet, expanded FRC networks persisted for greater than three months after infection. Our results reveal the complexity of LN stromal cell responses during infection and suggest that LN remodeling to acute infection supports successive immune responses.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of lymph node stromal cells reveals niche-associated heterogeneity

Project description:Stromal cells (SCs) establish the compartmentalization of lymphoid tissues critical to the immune response. However, the full diversity of lymph node (LN) SCs remains undefined. Using droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing we identified 9 peripheral LNs non-endothelial SC subsets. Included are the established subsets Ccl19hi T-zone reticular cells (TRCs), marginal reticular cells, follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) and perivascular cells. We also identified Ccl19lo TRCs, likely including cholesterol-25-hydroxylase+ cells located at the T-zone perimeter, Cxcl9+ TRCs in the T-zone and interfollicular region, CD34+ SCs in the capsule and medullary vessel adventitia, indolethylamine N-methyltransferase+ SCs in the medullary cords and Nr4a1+ SCs in several niches. These data help define how transcriptionally distinct LN SCs support niche-restricted immune functions and they provide evidence that many SCs are in an activated state.

Secretion of interleukin-1 by dedifferentiated melanoma cells inhibits JAK1-STAT3-driven actomyosin contractility of lymph node fibroblastic reticular cells

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) are immunologically specialized myofibroblasts that control the elasticity of the lymph node (LN), in part through their contractile properties. Swelling of tumor-draining LN is a hallmark of lymphophilic cancers such as cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma displays high intratumoral heterogeneity with the coexistence of melanoma cells with variable differentiation phenotypes, from melanocytic to dedifferentiated states. Factors secreted by melanoma cells promote pre-metastatic LN reprograming and tumor spreading. Elucidating the impact of the melanoma secretome on FRC could help identify approaches to prevent metastasis. Here we show that melanocytic and dedifferentiated melanoma cells differentially impact the FRC contractile phenotype. Factors secreted by dedifferentiated cells, but not by melanocytic cells, strongly inhibited actomyosin-dependent contractile forces of FRC by decreasing the activity of the RHOA-ROCK pathway and the mechano-responsive transcriptional co-activator YAP. Transcriptional profiling and biochemical analyses indicated that actomyosin cytoskeleton relaxation in FRC is driven by inhibition of the JAK1-STAT3 pathway. This FRC relaxation was associated with increased FRC proliferation and activation and with elevated tumor invasion in vitro. The secretome of dedifferentiated melanoma cells also modulated the biomechanical properties of distant LN in pre-metastatic mouse models. Lastly, interleukin-1 produced by dedifferentiated cells was involved in the inhibition of FRC contractility. These data highlight the role of the JAK1-STAT3 and YAP pathways in spontaneous contractility of resting FRC. They also suggest that dedifferentiated melanoma cells specifically target FRC biomechanical properties to favor tumor spreading in the pre-metastatic LN niche. Targeting this remote communication could be an effective strategy to prevent metastatic spread of the disease.

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

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.
