A role for BCL6 in maintaining CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during helminth infection

ABSTRACT: Distinct subsets of T lymphocytes express CX3CR1 under inflammatory conditions, but little is known about CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during Type 2 inflammation in helminth infections. Here, we used a fate-mapping mouse model to characterize CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during both acute Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and chronic Schistosoma mansoni helminth infections, revealing CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells to be an activated tissue homing subset with varying capacity for cytokine production. Tracking these cells over time revealed that maintenance of CX3CR1 itself along with a TH2 phenotype conferred a survival advantage in the inflamed tissue. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of fate-mapped CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells from both the peripheral tissue and the spleen revealed a considerable level of diversity and identified a distinct population of BCL6+ TCF-1+ PD1+ CD4+ T cells in the spleen during helminth infections. Conditional deletion of BCL6 in CX3CR1+ cells result in fewer CX3CR1+ CD4+ during infection, indicating a role in sustaining CD4+ T cell responses to helminth infections. Overall, our studies revealed the behavior and heterogeneity of CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells during Type 2 inflammation in helminth infections and identified BCL6 to be important in their maintenance

Comparison of transcriptional profiles from 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells during 2W1S-expressing Salmonella and Strongyloides ratti infections reveals that infectious context drives effector CD4+ T cell function

Project description:Approximately one-third of the world is infected with parasitic helminths, and there are no available vaccines. Helminths induce robust type 2 immune responses and host CD4+ T cells are required for clearance, but how helminth-specific CD4+ T cells are generated and whether they adopt prototypical features of effector Th2 cells is entirely unknown. We generated a novel transgenic line of Strongyloides ratti to track and study helminth-specific T cells. This transgenic line, termed Hulk, stably expresses immunodominant T cell epitope 2W1S as a fusion protein with FLAG and green fluorescent protein (GFP). We consistently observe expansion of CD44hiCD11ahi 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells in the lungs of Hulk-infected C57BL/6 mice. Surprisingly, these cells do not exhibit a Th2 or regulatory T cell (Treg) phenotype, and their expansion is minimal compared to expansion following 2W1S-peptide immunization. In order to more thoroughly interrogate the phenotype and function of 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells during Hulk infection, we performed mRNA sequencing on 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells from both Hulk-infected and 2W-Salmonella-infected mice. Interestingly, whereas 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells that expand during 2W-Salmonella infection express canonical pro-inflammatory genes, 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells from Hulk-infected mice preferentially upregulate genes associated with immune suppression and wound healing. Altogether, these data suggest that helminth antigen specific CD4+ T cells may comprise an unconventional subset that mediates immunosuppression and tissue repair following helminth infection and not necessarily type 2 cytokine responses.

Macrophage function in tissue repair and remodeling requires IL-4/IL-13 with apoptotic cells [Run2]

Project description:Tissue repair is a subset of a broad repertoire of IL-4/IL-13-dependent host responses during helminth infections. Here, we show that IL-4/IL-13 alone were not sufficient, but IL-4/IL-13 together with apoptotic cells induced the tissue repair program in macrophages. Genetic ablation of sensors of apoptotic cells impaired the proliferation of tissue-resident macrophages and induction of anti-inflammatory/tissue repair genes in the lung following helminth infection or the damage caused by induction of colitis in the gut. In contrast, recognition of apoptotic cells was dispensable for cytokine-dependent induction of pattern recognition receptor, cell adhesion or chemotaxis genes in macrophages. Detection of apoptotic cells can therefore spatially compartmentalize or prevent premature or ectopic activity of pleiotropic, soluble cytokines, such as IL-4/IL-13.

T cell-specific P2RX7 favors lung parenchymal CD4+ T cell accumulation in response to severe lung infections

Project description:CD4+ T cells are key components of the immune response during lung infections and can mediate protection against tuberculosis (TB) or influenza. However, CD4+ T cells can also promote lung pathology during these infections, making it unclear how these cells control such discrepant effects. Using mouse models of hypervirulent TB and influenza, we observed that exaggerated accumulation of parenchymal CD4+ T cells promotes lung damage. Low numbers of lung CD4+ T cells, in contrast, are sufficient to protect against hypervirulent TB. In both situations, lung CD4+ T cell accumulation is mediated by CD4+ T cell-specific expression of the extracellular ATP (eATP) receptor P2RX7. P2RX7 upregulation in lung CD4+ T cells promotes expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and favors in situ proliferation. Our findings suggest that direct sensing of lung eATP by CD4+ T cells is critical to induce tissue CD4+ T cell accumulation and pathology during lung infections.

Notch2 receptor signaling controls functional differentiation of dendritic cells in the spleen and intestine

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) in tissues and lymphoid organs comprise distinct functional subsets that differentiate in situ from circulating progenitors. Tissue-specific signals that regulate DC subset differentiation are poorly understood. We report that DC-specific deletion of the Notch2 receptor caused a reduction of DC populations in the spleen. Within the splenic CD11b+ DCs, Notch signaling blockade ablated a distinct population marked by high expression of adhesion molecule Esam. The Notch-dependent Esamhi DC subset also required lymphotoxin beta receptor signaling, proliferated in situ and facilitated efficient CD4+ T cell priming. The Notch-independent Esamlo DCs expressed monocyte-related genes and showed superior cytokine responses. In addition, Notch2 deletion led to the loss of CD11b+ CD103+ DCs in the intestinal lamina propria and to the corresponding decrease of IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells in the intestine. Thus,Notch2 is a common differentiation signal for T cell-priming CD11b+ DC subsets in the spleen and intestine. We compared genome-wide expression profiles of wild-type Esam(hi) and Esam(lo) splenic CD11b+ DC populations, along with CD11b+ DCs from DC-RBPJΔ mice. Spleens from 2-3 Cx3cr1-GFP+ RBPJflox/flox CD11c-Cre+ mice or Cx3cr1-GFP+ RBPJflox/flox Cre-negative littermate controls were isolated, pooled and depleted of lymphoid and erythroid cells by negative selection on MACS columns. Live cells were stained for surface expression of CD11c, CD11b and Esam. CD11c(hi) CD11b+ DCs from control mice could be separated into Esam(lo) GFP(hi) versus Esam(hi) GFP(lo) subsets. CD11c(hi) CD11b+ DCs from RBPJ-targeted mice spleens were uniformly Esam(lo) GFP(hi). The two subsets from control mice and single Esam(lo) GFP(hi) subset from RBPJ-targeted mice were sorted using FACSAria II flow sorter and analyzed using GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix).

Single-cell analysis of CX3CR1+ cells reveal a pathogenic role for BIRC5+ myeloid proliferating cells driven by Staphylococcus aureus leukotoxins

Project description:Our previous studies identified a population of stem cell-like proliferating myeloid cells within inflamed tissues that could serve as a reservoir for tissue macrophages to adopt different activation states depending on the microenvironment. By lineage tracing cells derived from CX3CR1+ precursors in mice during infection and profiling by scRNA-seq, here we identify a cluster of BIRC5+ myeloid cells that expanded in the liver during either chronic infection with the parasite Schistosoma mansoni or the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. In the absence of tissue damaging toxins, S. aureus infection does not elicit these BIRC5+ cells. Moreover, deletion of BIRC5 from CX3CR1 expressing cells results in improved survival during S. aureus infection. Hence, the combination of scRNA-Seq and genetic fate mapping CX3CR1+ cells revealed a toxin dependent pathogenic role for BIRC5 in myeloid cells during S. aureus infection.

CX3CR1/Fractalkine receptor expression separates memory CD8+ T cells with distinct functional profiles (expression)

Project description:Memory T cells are important for protective immunity against infectious microorganisms. Such protection is achieved by cooperative action of memory T cell populations that differ in their tissue localization and functionality. We report on the identification of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 as marker for stratification of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function from those with proliferative function in both, mice and man. Based on CX3CR1 and CD62L expression levels four distinct memory T cell populations can be distinguished based on their functional properties. Transcriptome and proteome profiling revealed that CX3CR1 expression was superior to CD62L to resolve memory T cell functionality and allowed determination of a core signature of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function. This identifies a CD62Lhi CX3CR1+ memory T cell population with an identical gene signature to CD62LlowCX3CR1+ effector memory T cells. In lymph nodes, this so far unrecognized CD62LhiCX3CR1+ T cell population shows a distinct migration pattern and anatomic positioning compared to CD62LhiCX3CR1neg TCM. Furthermore, CX3CR1+ memory T cells were scarce or absent during chronic HBV, HCV and HIV infection in man and chronic LCMV infection in mice confirming the value of CX3CR1+ in understanding principles of protective immune memory. CD8+ T cells were isolated and directly assessed or incubated with DC or LSEC. After harvesting, cells were immediately lysed in Trizol (Invitrogen) before storage at -80Â°C for RNA isolation.

BCL6 modulates tissue neutrophil survival and exacerbates pulmonary inflammation following influenza infection

Project description:Epidemics of influenza virus are of great challenges to the public concern. The lung inflammation and injury caused by excessive inflammatory cell infiltration into the lungs and overproduction of inflammatory mediators are major consequences during influenza virus infection. Neutrophils are vital for anti-microbial defense. However, the roles of neutrophils during viral infections are less clear. Furthermore, the molecular regulation of neutrophil fate and function at the viral infected sites is largely elusive. We found that BCL6 deficiency in neutrophils, but not in monocytes nor lung macrophages, attenuated host inflammation and morbidity following influenza infection. Mechanistically, BCL6 bound to the neutrophil gene loci involved in cellular apoptosis specifically at the site of infection. As such, BCL6 disruption resulted in increased expression of apoptotic genes in neutrophils in the respiratory tract, but not in the circulation nor bone marrow. Consequently, BCL6 deficiency promoted tissue neutrophil apoptosis. Our results have revealed a previously unappreciated role of BCL6 in modulating neutrophil apoptosis at the site of infection for the regulation of host disease development following viral infection.
