Infection induces tissue resident memory NK cells that safeguard tissue

ABSTRACT: Tissue health is dictated by the capacity to respond to perturbations and then return to a homeostatic state. Thus, mechanisms that initiate, maintain and regulate immune responses in tissues are essential. The adaptive immune system has been ascribed a principal role in these responses, with memory and tissue-residency being cardinal features of immune protection in tissues. Whether there is a corresponding role for innate cells is unknown. Here we identify a population of innate lymphocytes that we term tissue-resident memory-like natural killer (NKRM) cells. In response to murine cytomegalovirus infection, we show that circulating NK cells are recruited to the salivary glands where they form NKRM cells, a long-lived tissue-resident population that prevents autoimmunity and safeguards organ function. Thus, NK cells develop adaptive-like features, including long-term residency in nonlymphoid tissues, to modulate inflammation, restore immune equilibrium and preserve tissue health. Modulating the functions of NKRM cells may provide new strategies to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Memory-like Natural Killer cells become resident in non-lymphoid tissue to maintain tissue health

Project description:Tissue health is dictated by the capacity to respond to perturbations and then return to homeostasis. Mechanisms that initiate, maintain, and regulate immune responses in tissues are therefore essential. Adaptive immunity plays a key role in these responses, with memory and tissue-residency being cardinal features. A corresponding role for innate cells is unknown. Here we have identified a population of innate lymphocytes that we term tissue-resident memory-like natural killer (NKRM) cells. In response to murine cytomegalovirus infection, we show that circulating NK cells were recruited in a CX3CR1-dependent manner to the salivary glands where they formed NKRM cells, a long-lived tissue-resident population that prevented autoimmunity via TRAIL-dependent elimination of CD4+ T cells. Thus, NK cells develop adaptive-like features, including long-term residency in nonlymphoid tissues, to modulate inflammation, restore immune equilibrium and preserve tissue health. Modulating the functions of NKRM cells may provide additional strategies to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Resident T Cell Repertoires

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) are present in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues and restrict immune activation, prevent autoimmunity and regulate inflammation. While Treg in non-lymphoid tissues are typically resident, Treg in lymph nodes (LNs) predominantly recirculate and residency of Treg in LNs is poorly studied. Here, we show that 10-20% of all Treg in LNs are memory-like resident cells. Both thymic and peripheral Treg contributed to the pool of resident Treg and their residency did not require continuous TCR signaling. Yet, resident and circulating Treg had distinct TCR repertoires and different LNs contained distinct clonal subpopulations of resident Treg. We speculate that stochastic selection and variation in antigen availability governs commitment of individual T cell clones to the resident pool in each LN. Our results describe a framework for local fine-tuning of immune responses in LNs based on previous adaptive immune responses.

The inositol phosphtase INPP4B sustains ILC1s and intratumoral NK cells through an AKT-driven survival pathway

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous population of lymphocytes that coordinate early immune responses and maintain tissue homeostasis. Type 1 immune responses are mediated by natural killer (NK) cells and group 1 ILCs (ILC1s). Despite their shared features, NK cells and ILC1s display profound differences among various tissue microenvironments. Here, we identify the inositol polyphosphatase INPP4B as a hallmark feature of tissue-resident ILC1s and intratumoral NK cells using a scRNA-seq atlas of tissue-associated and circulating NK/ILC1s. Conditional deletion of Inpp4b in ILC1s and NK cells reveals that it is necessary for the homeostasis of tissue-resident ILC1s but not circulating NK cells at steady-state. Inpp4b-deficient cells display increased rates of apoptosis and reduced activation of the pro-survival molecule AKT. Furthermore, expression of Inpp4b by NK/ILC1s is necessary for their presence in the intratumoral environment and lack of Inpp4b impairs antitumor immunity. These findings highlight INPP4B as a novel regulator of tissue residency and antitumor function in ILC1s and NK cells.

Transcriptional profiling of human hepatic NK cell subpopulations

Project description:To identify potential functional roles of liver-resident NK cells we performed RNA sequencing on FACS sorted NK cell subpopulations from liver perfusates (n=5) and healthy blood controls (n=5). Full-length transcripts were sequenced from low-input samples using a modified version of the SMART-Seq2 protocol. Hepatic CD56brightCD16- and CD56brightCD16+ samples upregulate genes associated with tissue residency.

Resident regulatory T cells reflect the immune history of individual lymph nodes

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) are present in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues where they restrict immune activation, prevent autoimmunity and regulate inflammation. Treg in non-lymphoid tissues are typically resident, while those in lymph nodes (LNs) are considered to recirculate. However, Treg in LNs are not a homogenous population and circulation kinetics of different Treg subsets are poorly characterized. Furthermore, whether Treg can acquire memory T cell properties and persist for extended periods after their activation in LNs is unclear. Here, we used in situ labeling with a stabilized photoconvertible protein to uncover turnover rates of Treg in LNs in vivo. We found that while the majority of Treg in LNs recirculate, 10-20% are memory-like resident cells that remain in their respective LNs for weeks to months. Single cell RNA sequencing revealed that LN-resident cells are a functionally and ontogenetically heterogeneous population and share the same core residency gene signature with conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Resident cells in LNs did not actively proliferate and did not require continuous TCR signaling for their residency. Yet, resident and circulating Treg had distinct TCR repertoires, and each LN contained exclusive clonal subpopulations of resident Treg. Our results demonstrate that, similar to conventional T cells, Treg can form resident memory-like populations in LNs after adaptive immune responses. Specific and local suppression of immune responses by resident Treg in draining LNs might provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of local chronic inflammatory conditions.

Multimodal profiling reveals site-specific adaptation and tissue residency hallmarks of γδ T cells across organs in mice

Project description:γδ T cells perform heterogeneous functions in homeostasis and disease across tissues. However, it is unclear whether these roles correspond to distinct γδ subsets or to a homogeneous population of cells exerting context-dependent functions. Here, by cross-organ multimodal single-cell profiling, we reveal that various mouse tissues harbor unique site-adapted γδ subsets. Epidermal and intestinal intraepithelial γδ T cells are transcriptionally homogeneous and exhibit epigenetic hallmarks of functional diversity. Through parabiosis experiments, we uncovered cellular states associated with cytotoxicity, innate-like rapid IFN-γ production and tissue repair functions displaying tissue residency hallmarks. Notably, our observations nuance the link between IL-17-producing γδ T cells and tissue residency. Moreover, transcriptional programs associated with tissue-resident γδ T cells are analogous to those of CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells. Altogether, this study provides the first multimodal landscape of tissue-adapted γδ T cells, revealing heterogeneity, lineage relationships and their tissue residency program.

Chromatin Landscape of IL-4-expressing CD4 T cells in the lung and lung-draining lymph nodes

Project description:Using bulk-, single cell-, ATAC-, and TCR repertoire sequencing, this study reveals that helminth infection causes the expansion of distinct IL-4-competent CD4+ T cells in the lung and lung-draining lymphoid tissues, providing insight into tissue-specific mechanisms of type-2 cytokine regulation and the lineage commitment of T-helper 2 (Th2) and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. IL-4 competent CD4+ T cells were stratified into three groups: lymphoid-restricted T follicular helper (Tfh) cells; nonlymphoid resident T-helper 2 (Th2) cells; and transitional cells that share identity with both tissue compartments. Differences in transcriptome, locus accessibility, and the enrichment of distinct transcription factor motifs suggested that IL-4 competency was likely achieved via distinct mechanisms among lymphoid- and lung-resident CD4+IL-4+ populations. These findings reveal a complex relationship between lymphoid- and nonlymphoid-resident CD4+ T cell populations in settings of type-2 immunity.

A non-lymphoid origin for lymph node resident memory T cells

Project description:Immunosurveillance of secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) is performed by central memory T cells that recirculate through blood. Resident memory T cells (TRM) remain parked in nonlymphoid tissues and often stably express CD69. We recently identified TRM within SLO, and this study addresses knowledge gaps in their origin and phenotype. Parabiosis of ‘dirty’ mice revealed that CD69 expression is insufficient to infer stable residence. Using selective depletion strategies, parabiosis, imaging, tissue grafting, and photoactivatable T cells, we report that restimulation of TRM within the skin or mucosa results in a substantial increase in TRM that patrol all regions of draining lymph nodes. SLO TRM were derived from nonlymphoid tissue residents. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry revealed a refined phenotype shared between both nonlymphoid and SLO TRM. These data demonstrate the nonlymphoid origin of SLO TRM and suggest vaccination strategies by which memory CD8 T cell immunosurveillance can be regionalized to specific lymph nodes.

Runx3 drives a tissue residency program that is absent in CD4+ T cells [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide rapid and superior control of localized infections. The transcription factor Runx3 was recently identified as a master regulator of CD8+ T cell tissue residency. However, Runx3 also drives CD8+ T cell lineage commitment and is repressed in CD4+ T cells, raising the possibility that this transcription factor defines a form of tissue residency unique to the CD8+ T cell subset. Here, we show that as a direct consequence of Runx3-deficiency, CD4+ TRM cells in epithelia lack the TGFb-responsive transcriptional network that underpins CD8+ TRM cell residency. Ectopic Runx3 expression in CD4+ T cells rescued this transcriptional program to promote prolonged survival, decreased tissue egress and a microanatomical redistribution towards epithelial layers that combined, resulted in superior local immune protection. Our results thus reveal a mechanistic discordance between CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cell formation in barrier tissues that is controlled by Runx3. Consequently, CD4+ TRM cells are unable to adopt a type of tissue residency that is intrinsically accessible to the CD8+ TRM cell subset.

Tissue resident memory T cells trigger rapid exudation and local antibody accumulation

Project description:Adaptive immunity is didactically partitioned into humoral and cell-mediated effector mechanisms, which may imply that each arm is separate and does not function together. Here, we report that the activation of CD8+ resident memory T cells in nonlymphoid tissues triggers vascular permeability, which facilitates rapid distribution of serum antibodies into local tissues. TRM reactivation was associated with transcriptional upregulation of antiviral signaling pathways as well as Fc receptors and components of the complement cascade. Effects were local, but evidence is presented that TRM in brain and reproductive mucosa are both competent to induce rapid antibody exudation. TRM reactivation in the mouse female genital tract increased local concentrations of virus-specific neutralizing antibodies including anti-vesicular stomatitis virus and passively transferred anti-HIV antibodies. We showed that this response was sufficient to increase the efficacy of ex vivo vesicular stomatitis virus neutralization. These results indicate that CD8+ TRM antigen recognition can enhance local humoral immunity. Microarray data comparing RNA isolated from murine female reproductive tract tissue from control tissue (SIIN) versus tissues where resident memory T cells were reactivated 9 hours prior (GP33). Control mice (SIIN) received the irrelevant peptide SIINFEKL transcervically. Experimental mice (GP33) recieved the peptide gp33, which P14 resident memory T cells specifically recognize, transcervically.
