Prolonged T–DC macro-clustering in lymph nodes initiates site-specific Th2 differentiation

ABSTRACT: T helper 2 (Th2) responses protect against pathogens while also driving allergic inflammation, yet how large-scale Th2 responses are generated in tissue context remains unclear. Here, we used quantitative imaging to investigate early Th2 differentiation within lymph nodes (LNs) following cutaneous allergen administration. Contrary to current models, we observed extensive activation and ‘macro-clustering’ of early Th2 cells with migratory type-2 dendritic cells (cDC2s) generating specialized Th2-promoting microenvironments. Macro-clustering was integrin mediated and promoted localized cytokine exchange among T cells to reinforce differentiation, which contrasted behavior during Th1 responses. Unexpectedly, formation of Th2 macro-clusters was dependent on the site of skin sensitization. Differences between sites were driven by divergent activation states of migratory cDC2 from different dermal tissues, with enhanced costimulatory molecule expression by cDC2 in Th2-generating LNs promoting prolonged T cell activation, macro-clustering, and cytokine sensing. Thus, generation of dedicated Th2 priming microenvironments through enhanced costimulatory molecule signaling initiates Th2 responses in vivo and occurs in a skin site-specific manner.

Determine MARCH1-dependent molecular differences in dendritic cells that carry allergen from the lungs to the draining lymph nodes

Project description:MARCH1-/- mice have a deficit in TH2 cell development in the mediastinal LN to HDM allergens. Pulmonary DCs that capture allergens and migrate to mediastinal lymph node have been implicated in driving TH2 cell polarization. We then investigated whether MARCH1 is involved in transcriptional reprograming of migratory DCs, which has been suggested to condition the DCs to drive TH2 cell development. To do this, we performed single cell RNA sequencing through the 10X Chromium platform of allergen-carrying WT or MARCH1-/- DCs in the LNs of mice.

A chemokine trail laid down by migratory dendritic cells directs antigen-presenting monocytes into draining lymph nodes

Project description:Antigen presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and monocytes capture and transport antigens from barrier tissues for presentation to antigen-specific T cells in the draining-lymph nodes (LNs). While DCs enter LNs through afferent lymphatics in a CCR7-dependent manner, how exactly antigen-carrying monocytes reach LNs is less clear since monocytes do not express CCR7 and can also enter LNs via the bloodstream. In steady state, and following injection of several PAMPs, scRNA-seq data on LN mononuclear phagocytes identified LN resident versus migratory type 1 and type 2 conventional (c)DCs despite downregulation of DC subset-defining transcripts, such as Xcr1, Clec9a, H2-Ab1, Sirpa, and Clec10a on migratory cDCs. Migratory cDCs gained expression of transcripts controlling cellular migration such as Ccr7, Ccl17, Ccl22, and Ccl5, while migratory monocytes expressed Ccr5 without Ccr7. Using two tracking methods and a gating strategy that clearly distinguishes migratory CD88hiCD26lo monocytes from CD88-CD26hi cDCs, we found that both captured antigens in the lung and migrated to lung-draining LNs. Using global and mixed-chimeric Ccl5-, Ccr2-, Ccr5-, Ccr7-, and Batf3-deficient mice, we found that CCR5+ monocytes follow CCL5-secreting migratory cDCs to reach the draining LN via lymphatic vessels. In a model of asthma, such recruited monocytes regulated the induction of type 2 immunity. Overall, our data suggest that CCL5-secreting migratory cDCs lay down the chemokine trail for CCR5+ antigen-presenting monocytes to reach draining lymph nodes and regulate adaptive immunity.

Ablation of cDC2 development by triple mutations within the Zeb2 enhancer

Project description:The divergence of the common dendritic cell progenitor (CDP) into the conventional type 1 and type 2 dendritic cell (cDC1 and cDC2, respectively) lineages is poorly understood. Some transcription factors act in the commitment of already specified progenitors-such as BATF3, which stabilizes Irf8 autoactivation at the +32 kb Irf8 enhancer-but the mechanisms controlling the initial divergence of CDPs remain unknown. Here we report the transcriptional basis of CDP divergence and describe the first requirements for pre-cDC2 specification. Genetic epistasis analysis suggested that Nfil3 acts upstream of Id2, Batf3 and Zeb2 in cDC1 development but did not reveal its mechanism or targets. Analysis of newly generated NFIL3 reporter mice showed extremely transient NFIL3 expression during cDC1 specification. CUT&RUN and chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing identified endogenous NFIL3 binding in the -165 kb Zeb2 enhancer at three sites that also bind the CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins C/EBPα and C/EBPβ. In vivo mutational analysis using CRISPR-Cas9 targeting showed that these NFIL3-C/EBP sites are functionally redundant, with C/EBPs supporting and NFIL3 repressing Zeb2 expression at these sites. A triple mutation of all three NFIL3-C/EBP sites ablated Zeb2 expression in myeloid, but not lymphoid progenitors, causing the complete loss of pre-cDC2 specification and mature cDC2 development in vivo. These mice did not generate T helper 2 (TH2) cell responses against Heligmosomoides polygyrus infection, consistent with cDC2 supporting TH2 responses to helminths. Thus, CDP divergence into cDC1 or cDC2 is controlled by competition between NFIL3 and C/EBPs at the -165 kb Zeb2 enhancer.

Ablation of cDC2 specification by triple mutations in the Zeb2 enhancer [RNA-seq]

Single cell RNASeq analysis of memory TH2 cell response to an intestianl nematode

Project description:Intestinal parasitic nematodes, affecting a quarter of the world’s population, typically elicit prominent effector Th2-driven host immune responses. However, a more detailed understanding of nematode-induced memory Th2 responses remains scarce. We investigated the activation of peritoneal memory Th2 cells and the mechanisms driving early recall responses to the enteric nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus in mice. We show memory Th2 cells with distinct transcriptional profiles to persist systemically in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues following cure of infection. Moreover, peritoneal memory Th2 cells display strong cytokine production, upregulate costimulatory marker Ox40 (CD134) and IL-5 production in a parasite-specific manner as early as 3 days following challenge infection. This effect is paralleled by an influx of Ox40L+ dendritic cells (DC) and eosinophils, both appearing exclusively in the peritoneum of reinfected mice. Finally, we show that peritoneal mesothelial cells (PeM) significantly downregulate their expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in response to a secondary infection, pointing towards an involvement in immune cell efflux. Thus, our data indicate a pivotal role of the peritoneum for memory Th2 responses and a role for PeM cells in immune cell recruitment, activation and efflux during recall responses to a strictly intestinal pathogen.

Erythropoietin receptor on cDC1s dictates immune tolerance

Project description:Immune tolerance is an active state of unresponsiveness of the immune system to antigens (Ags) that have the potential to induce an immune response1. Such tolerance is beneficial in avoiding autoimmunity and rejection of organ transplants, but detrimental in cancer2. Type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are unique in their efferocytosis3 and cross-presenting abilities4, resulting in T cell-mediated immunity5 or tolerance6-10. However, the mechanisms underlying the tolerogenic function of cDC1s remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) acts as a critical switch that determines the tolerogenic state of cDC1s and the threshold of Ag-specific T cell responses. In total lymphoid irradiation-induced allograft tolerance11,12, EpoR+ cDC1s induce donor-specific CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), and conditional knockout of EpoR in cDC1s abrogates Ag-specific Treg induction, resulting in allograft rejection. In the steady state, EpoR+ migratory cDC1s control Ag-specific Treg induction in peripheral lymph nodes (LNs). In cancer, EpoR is expressed on both tumor Ag-carrying, tumor-infiltrating cDC1s, as well as migratory cDC1s in tumor-draining LNs (tdLNs). Loss of EpoR from cDC1s leads to tumor reduction by enhancing tumor Ag-specific CD8+ T cell priming and generating more precursor exhausted T cells13 in tdLNs, preserving CD8+ T cell precursor-like features and effector function, and reducing Tregs in the tumor. Thus, targeting EpoR on cDC1s to induce or inhibit immune tolerance should enable new ways to treat a variety of diseases.

Migratory CD11b+ conventional dendritic cells induce T follicular helper cell dependent antibody responses

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells that promote antibody production during vaccination. Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) efficiently prime Tfh cells; however, conclusions regarding the nature of the cDC responsible for instructing Tfh cell differentiation have differed between recent studies. We found that these discrepancies might exist, in part, due to the unusual sites used for immunization in murine models, which differentially bias which DC subsets access antigen. We used intranasal immunization as a physiologically relevant route of exposure that we show delivers antigen to all tissue DC subsets. Using a combination of mice in which the function of individual DC subsets is impaired and different formulations of antigen delivery, we determined that CD11b+ migratory type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) are necessary and sufficient for Tfh induction. DC-specific deletion of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 resulted in an isolated loss of CD11b+ cDC2 but not CD103+ cDC1 migration to lung-draining lymph nodes. Impaired cDC2 migration or development in DC-specific Dock8 or Irf4 knockout mice, respectively, led to reduced Tfh cell and antibody development, whereas loss of CD103+ cDC1s in Batf3-/- mice did not. Loss of cDC2-mediated Tfh responses was associated with impaired antibody-mediated protection from live influenza virus challenge. We show that migratory cDC2s uniquely carry antigen into the sub-anatomic regions of the lymph node where Tfh cell priming occurs, the T-B border. This work identifies the DC responsible for Tfh cell-dependent antibody responses, in particular when antigen dose is limiting or is encountered at a mucosal site, which could ultimately inform the formulation and delivery of vaccines.
