Project description:Lymph node (LN) stromal cells, particularly fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), provide critical structural support and regulate immunity, tolerance and transport properties of LNs. In many tumors, LN metastasis is predictive of poor prognosis, however, stromal contribution to the evolving microenvironment of tumor draining LNs (TDLN) remains poorly understood. Here we present comparative transcriptional data of resting and TDLN FRCs after different time points of tumor drainage. FRCs were isolated from lymph nodes and FACS sorted based on the expression of CD45-, CD31- and PDPN+

Project description:The lymph node is home to resident macrophage populations that are essential for healthy immune function and homeostasis. They are involved in multiple processes including the initiation of the local response to pathogens, halting viral and bacterial spread, and clearance of apoptotic cells, but the macrophage niche and factors that create it are largely undefined. Here we analyse fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) as an essential component of the lymph node macrophage niche using single-cell RNA-sequencing. Our analysis revealed that most reticular cell subsets within lymph nodes expressed master macrophage regulator CSF1. We further show that signalling through CSF1R was sufficient to support macrophage development, while in the presence of LPS, FRCs underwent a mechanistic switch and maintained support through CSF1R-independent mechanisms. Our data reveal a critically important role for FRCs in the creation of the parenchymal macrophage niche within LNs.

Project description:Milky spots, lymphoid clusters present in visceral adipose tissue omentum, play central roles in the regulation of abdominal immunity. Milky spots exhibit hybrid nature between secondary lymph organs and ectopic lymphoid tissues, yet the mechanism of their development and maturation is poorly understood. Here, we identified a subset of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) that are uniquely present in omental milky spots. These FRCs were characterized by the expression of retinoic acid converting enzyme, Aldh1a2, and endothelial cell marker, Tie2, in addition to canonical FRC-associated genes. Diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of Aldh1a2+ FRCs resulted in the alteration in milky spot structure with a significant reduction in size and cellularity. Mechanistically, Aldh1a2+ FRCs regulated the display of chemokine CXCL12 on high endothelial venules (HEVs), which recruit blood-borne lymphocytes from circulation. We further found that Aldh1a2+ FRCs are required for the maintenance of peritoneal lymphocyte composition. These results illustrate the homeostatic roles of FRCs in the formation of non-classical lymphoid tissues.

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) actively support secondary lymphoid organ (SLO) architecture. They regulate innate and adaptive immunity by compartmentalizing immune cells in specialized niches, and tightly interacting with them. The phenotypic and functional diversity of FRCs in human SLOs remains largely uncharacterized. We performed a comprehensive profiling of FRCs by single-cell RNA sequencing on human tonsils and lymph nodes. We provide the first complete description of the tonsillar CD45-negative compartment. We identified and validated in tonsil, a population of follicular dendritic cells restricted to the mantle zone and discovered two CCL21-negative FRC subsets intermingling with T-cell zone reticular cells in the extrafollicular space. We also identified podoplanin-positive epithelial cells as a potential plasma cell (PC) niche. We found two levels of FRC-associated diversity: i) tissue-specific subsets; ii) shared subsets with tissue-specific gene signatures. These findings shed new light on the role of FRCs in supporting SLO-specific immune responses.

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

Project description:Lymph node is a secondary lymphoid organ that has structural organization related to their immune function, which is highly ordered and compartmentalized. Lymph nodes shelter immune cells and also fibroblastic-like cells such as fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs). FRCs have mesodermal origin and are classically characterized by the expression of podoplanin (PDPN/gp38) and lack of CD31 expression. FRCs are implicated in several immune processes but the pathways subjacent their function are still a matter of research. Another cell population found in LNs, the double negative cells (DNCs), are even less known. They do not express PDPN or CD31 markers and a specific marker is absent, their localization within the LN is undefined and their phenotype or function, remain to be clarified. Although these cells have been studied in murine models, studies on human FRCs and DNCs are limited and therefore our study should contribute to the understanding of biology and function of these cells and should promote knowledge of efficiency and disorders in the lymph node immune response. This study evaluates gene expression and secretion of cytokines and chemokines in human-derived FRCs and DNCs during homeostasis and following inflammatory stimuli. Our results demonstrate that cytokines and chemokines secreted by human FRCs and DNCs partially differ from those identified in murine models. In addition, our study demonstrates that DNCs expressed a more varied of cytokines when compared with FRCs, while FRCs expressed a wider chemokines pattern. Such differences maybe related with specific functional differences between those cell populations within LNs.
