Cell autonomous expression of Bcl6 is required to maintain lineage identity of mouse CCR6+ ILC3s [16s rDNA]

ABSTRACT: Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are similar to T helper (Th) cells in expression of cytokines and transcription factors. For example, RORγt is the lineage-specific transcription factor for both ILC3 and Th17 cells. However, the ILC counterpart for BCL6-expressing T follicular helper (Tfh) cells has not been defined. Here, we report that in the ILC compartment, BCL6 is selectively co-expressed with not only CXCR5, but also RORγt and CCR6 in ILC3 from multiple tissues. BCL6-deficient ILC3 produce enhanced levels of IL-17A and IL-22. More importantly, phenotypic and single-cell ATAC-seq analysis show that absence of BCL6 in mature ILC3 increases the numbers of ILC1 and transitional cells co-expressing ILC3 and ILC1 marker genes. A lineage-tracing experiment further reveals BCL6+ ILC3 to ILC1 trans-differentiation under steady state. Lastly, microbiota promote BCL6 expression in colonic CCR6+ ILC3, and thus reinforce their stability. Collectively, our data have demonstrated that CCR6+ ILC3 have both Th17 and Tfh programs and that BCL6 expression in these cells functions to maintain their lineage identity.

Gene expression analysis of CD4+ and CD4- ILC1 subsets by RNAseq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-Î³; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq

Innate lymphoid cell development requires TOX-dependent generation of a common ILC progenitor

Project description:Subtypes of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), defined by effector function and transcription factor expression, have recently been identified. In the adult, ILC derive from common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow, although transcriptional regulation of the developmental pathways involved remains poorly defined. TOX is required for development of lymphoid tissue inducer cells, a type of ILC3 required for lymph node organogenesis, and NK cells, a type of ILC1. We show here that production of multiple ILC lineages requires TOX, as a result of TOX-dependent development of common ILC progenitors. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrated failure to induce various aspects of the ILC gene program in the absence of TOX, implicating this nuclear factor as a key early determinant of ILC lineage specification.

A cis-element at the Rorc locus regulates the development of type 3 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:As an important early source of IL-17A and IL-22 in immune responses, type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are critically regulated by the transcription factor retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt). Previously, we have identified a crucial role of the conserved non-coding sequence 9 (CNS9), located at +5,802 to +7,963 bp of the Rorc gene, in directing T helper 17 differentiation and related autoimmune disease. However, whether cis-acting elements regulate RORγt expression in ILC3s is unknown. Here we show that CNS9 deficiency in mice not only decreases ILC3 signature gene expression and increases ILC1-gene expression features in total ILC3s, but also leads to generation of a distinct CD4+NKp46+ ILC3 population, though the overall numbers and frequencies of RORγt+ ILC3s are not affected. Mechanistically, CNS9 deficiency selectively decreases RORγt expression in ILC3s, which thus alters ILC3 gene expression features and promotes cell-intrinsic generation of CD4+NKp46+ ILC3 subset. Our study thus identifies CNS9 as an essential cis-regulatory element controlling the lineage stability and plasticity of ILC3s through modulating expression levels of RORγt protein.

Functional and epigenetic studies reveal multistep differentiation and plasticity of in vitro and in vivo follicular T helper cells

Project description:Follicular T helper cells (Tfh) provide critical help to B cells for germinal center (GC) formation. Mutations affecting SLAM-associated Protein (SAP) prevent GC formation due to defective T-B cell interactions, yet effects on Tfh cell differentiation remain unclear. We describe the in vitro differentiation of functionally-competent “Tfh-like” cells that expressed Interleukin-21, Tfh markers, and Bcl6, and rescued GC formation in SAP-deficient hosts better than other T helper (Th) cells. SAP-deficient Tfh-like cells appeared virtually indistinguishable from wildtype, yet failed to support GCs in vivo. Interestingly, both Tfh-like and in vivo-derived Tfh cells could produce effector cytokines in response to polarizing conditions. Moreover, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells could be reprogrammed to obtain Tfh characteristics. ChIP-Seq analyses revealed positive epigenetic markings on Tbx21, Gata3 and Rorc in Tfh-like and ex vivo Tfh cells, and Bcl6 in other Th cell populations, supporting the concept of plasticity between Tfh and other Th cells. Epigenetic modifications were evaluated in ChIP-Seq studies by profiling histone H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylation marks between Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh-like, and CXCR5+PD-1+ sorted Tfh-like in vitro generated T helper cell populations and ex vivo derived Tfh cells.

The subtype-specific transcriptional regulatory networks of intestinal innate lymphoid cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise a population of immune cells that promote tissue homeostasis, defense against infections, and inflammatory disease. Yet, the transcriptional control of these functions is not well understood. Here, we leverage an experimental-computational approach for transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) inference, recently validated in an in vitro context, to construct genome-scale TRNs for ILCs isolated ex vivo from the intestine of mice. Chromatin accessibility and gene expression are the key data for our TRN inference method. Thus, we generated ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets for ILCs of the small and large intestine to integrate with publicly available ILC genomics data. From our ILC TRN, we predict target genes for hundreds of transcription factors (TFs), recovering both known and novel TF regulators of ILC subtype-specific gene expression patterns. The identified TFs include both activators and repressors of lineage-specific genes. Using KO mice, we validated predictions for two such TFs, MAF and BCL6, as previously unknown regulators affecting the balance of ILC3-ILC1. We additionally demonstrate the utility of our ILC TRN to describe gene expression responses to Bcl6 KO in ILC1, NK and ILC3 and predict TF regulators in each subtype. The ILC TRN and “core” ILC subtype networks are publicly available through an interactive Jupyter-notebook web interface. We anticipate that these maps of ILC subtype-specific transcriptional regulation will serve as an important community resource and lead to the development of new strategies for the control of subtype-specific behaviors, especially in the context of disease.

Distinct Gene Regulatory Pathways for Human Innate Versus Adaptive Lymphoid Cells [gene expression]

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) serve as sentinels in mucosal tissues, sensing release of soluble inflammatory mediators, rapidly communicating danger via cytokine secretion, and functioning as guardians of tissue homeostasis. Although ILCs have been studied extensively in model organisms, little is known about these âfirst respondersâ in humans, especially their lineage and functional kinships to cytokine-secreting T helper cell (Th) counterparts. Here, we report gene regulatory circuitries for four human ILCâTh counterparts derived from mucosal environments, revealing that each ILC subset diverges as a distinct lineage from Th and circulating natural killer cells, but shares circuitry devoted to functional polarization with their Th counterparts. Super-enhancers demarcate cohorts of cell identity genes in each lineage, uncovering new modes of regulation for signature cytokines, novel molecules that likely impart important functions to ILCs, and potential mechanisms for autoimmune disease SNP associations within ILCâTh subsets. RNA was isolated from two to five replicates of ILC1, ILC3, Th1, Th2 and NK cells. Gene expression levels were determined using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
