Comparison of transcriptomic profiles of macrophages cultures without ILC2, in presence of ILC2 from uninfected mice, and in presence of ILC2 from MuHV-4 infected mice.

ABSTRACT: The immunology of asthma is complex and involves the loss of immunoregulatory pathways with the adoption of a Western lifestyle inducing changes in the diversity and the time exposure to microorganisms. Gammaherpesviruses (γHVs) are among the most prevalent human viruses. Establishing early life infection, they profoundly imprint the immune system of their hosts. Using Murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4), a mouse model of human γHV infections, we showed that both lung resident and bone marrow-derived group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) displayed lasting reduced capacity to expand and to produce type 2 cytokines, in response to house dust mites, in an IFN-γ depend manner. Importantly, we uncovered that pulmonary ILC2s represent essential niche cells that imprint alveolar macrophage tissue-specific identity upon monocyte replenishment in infection settings. In particular, we showed that MuHV-4 infection disrupts the normal ILC2-epithelial cells circuit that imprints monocytes-derived AMs for type 2 functions without affecting their differentiation. These results reveal that persistent γHV infection shapes the alveolar landscape much beyond the initial acute infection through long-term effect on ILC2 niche cells.

Human ILC2 cells stimulated with IL-25, IL-33, or TSLP

Project description:ILC2 cells are a newly described cell type whose biology and contribution to disease are poorly understood. ILC2 cells are activated by allergens, viral infection, and/or epithelial damage via IL-33 and IL-25. ILC2 cells require IL-2, IL-7, IL-25 and IL-33 for their survival and expansion. In mice, ILC2s produce multiple mediators primarily associated with type 2 inflammation (IL-13, IL-5, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, GM-CSF, amphiregulin). ILC2 cells may contribute to the pathology of asthma through multiple mediators that include IL-13-independent pathways. Our goal is to compare transcriptional profiles of IL-33- or IL-25-activated ILC2 cells from blood to characterize these cells and to identify marker(s) that can be utilized to detect them in human tissue. ILC2 cells (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+) were purified from human blood of 5 different donors by flow cytometry. The ILC2 yield ranged from 20,000 to 165,000 cells per donor (0.001-0.008% WBC). Purified ILC2s were expanded in vitro in the presence of IL-2, IL-7, IL-33 and IL-25 (each at 50 ng/ml) for 7-10 days. Expanded cells maintained the ILC2 phenotype (Lineage negative, CRTH2+, CD161+, CD127+). The cells were rested for 2 days in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 and then treated in the presence of 1 ng/ml IL-2 and IL-7 with either media control, IL-25 (50 ng/ml), IL-33 (50 ng/ml), and/or TSLP (50 ng/ml) in combination, for 6 or 24 hours. Whole RNA was isolated via the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). Stratagene Universal Human Reference RNA was used as the reference.

Amino acid availability acts as a metabolic rheostat to determine the magnitude of ILC2 responses - WT ILC2

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are functionally poised, tissue-resident lymphocytes that respond rapidly to damage and infection at mucosal barrier sites. ILC2 reside within complex microenvironments where they are subject to cues from both the diet and invading pathogens – including helminths. Emerging evidence suggests ILC2 are acutely sensitive not only to canonical activating signals, but also perturbations in nutrient availability. In the context of helminth infection, we identify amino acid availability as a nutritional cue in regulating ILC2 responses. ILC2 were found to be uniquely pre-primed to import amino acids via the large neutral amino acid transporters Slc7a5 and Slc7a8. Cell-intrinsic deletion of these transporters individually impaired ILC2 expansion, while concurrent loss of both transporters markedly impaired the proliferative and cytokine producing capacity of ILC2. Moreover, amino acid determined the magnitude of ILC2 responses in part via tuning of mTOR. These findings implicate essential amino acids as a metabolic requisite for optimal ILC2 responses within mucosal barrier tissues.

Epigenome analysis reveals novel aspects of ILC2 activation and supports a pathogenic role in asthma

Project description:Recent studies have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can drive eosinophilic airway inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Moreover, elevated ILC2 counts and/or activity have been reported in asthmatics, together suggesting that ILC2s play an important role in asthma pathophysiology. However, many aspects of ILC2 biology are not fully understood, including the mechanisms underlying ILC2 activation, the tissue-specific functions of ILC2s during inflammation (e.g. lung versus draining lymph node) and what drives ILC2 plasticity. Importantly, it is unknown whether human (epi)genetic variation associated with asthma susceptibility and persistence can be coupled to ILC2s. We address these questions in our manuscript by studying the epigenome of murine ILC2s obtained from Gata3-reporter mice with eosinophilic airway inflammation as well as human ILC2s obtained from peripheral blood and activated in vitro.

A Stromal Cell Niche Sustains ILC2-Mediated Type-2 Conditioning in Adipose Tissue

Project description:Group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), type-2 cytokines and eosinophils, have all been implicated in sustaining adipose tissue homeostasis. However, the interplay between the stroma and adipose-resident immune cells is less well understood. We identify that white adipose tissue-resident multipotent stromal cells (WAT-MSCs) can act as a reservoir for IL-33, especially after cell stress, but also provide additional signals for sustaining ILC2. Indeed, we demonstrate that WAT-MSCs also support ICAM-1-mediated proliferation and activation of LFA-1-expressing ILC2s. Consequently, ILC2-derived IL-4 and IL-13 feed-back to induce eotaxin secretion from WAT-MSCs supporting eosinophil recruitment. Thus, MSCs provide a niche for multifaceted dialogue with ILC2 to sustain a type-2 immune environment in WAT.

Tissue signals imprint ILC2 identity with anticipatory function [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are distributed systemically and produce type 2 cytokines in response to a variety of stimuli, including the epithelial cytokines interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Transcriptional profiling of ILC2s from different tissues, however, grouped ILC2s according to their tissue of origin, even in the setting of combined IL-25, IL-33R and TSLPR-deficiency. Single-cell profiling confirmed a tissue-organizing transcriptome and identified ILC2 subsets expressing distinct activating receptors, including the major subset of skin ILC2s, which were activated preferentially by IL-18. Tissue ILC2 subsets were normal in germ- free mice, suggesting that endogenous, tissue-derived, signals drive the maturation of ILC2 subsets by controlling expression of distinct patterns of activating receptors, thus anticipating tissue-specific patterns to perturbations occurring later in life.

LKB1 prevents ILC2 exhaustion and lung cancer metastasis

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) mediate type 2 immune responses involved in anti-helminth immunity, allergic inflammation, and metabolic homeostasis. Recently, they have emerged as key players in regulating tumor immunity. The tumor suppressor liver kinase B1 (LKB1) inactivating mutations is associated with a variety of human cancers, but the role of LKB1 in ILC2 function and ILC2-mediated tumor immunity remains unknown. Here, we show that LKB1 is required for mature ILC2 survival. Ablation of LKB1 in ILC2s results in impaired proliferation and a marked decrease in type 2 cytokine production upon activation, accompanied with the expression of exhaustion signature genes and reduced cellular metabolism, which promote the development of lung melanoma metastasis. In addition, LKB1 deficiency leads to a marked increase of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) expression in ILC2s through activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) pathway. Blockade of PD-1 can restore type 2 cytokine production in LKB1-deficient ILC2 and reverse its exhaustion state, leading to enhanced antitumor immune responses in vivo. Together, our results reveal that LKB1 retrains ILC2 exhaustion state to maintain immune homeostasis and their antitumor immunity.

Blocking CD226 regulates ILC2 effector function and alleviates airway hyperreactivity

Project description:Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a pivotal role in type 2 asthma. CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria Alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls.Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.
