Signature of NK cells that are enriched for IL-10 production in malaria infection history subjects

ABSTRACT: Plasmodium falciparum infection can trigger high levels of inflammation that lead to fever and sometimes severe disease. People living in malaria-endemic areas gradually develop resistance and control both parasite numbers and the inflammatory response. Adaptive Natural Killer (NK) cells correlate with reduced parasite load and protection from symptoms. However, additional NK cell immunoregulatory roles may lower inflammation and reduce fever induction. We previously found that murine NK cell production of IL-10 can protect mice from experimental cerebral malaria. Human NK cells can also secrete IL-10, but it was unknown what NK cell subsets produce IL-10 and if this is affected by malaria infection history. Here, we show that NK cells from subjects with malaria history make significantly more IL-10 than subjects with no malaria history. We then determined the proportions of NK cells that are cytotoxic and produce interferon g (IFNg) and/or IL-10 and identified a signature of adaptive and checkpoint molecules on IL-10 producing NK cells. Lastly, we find that co-culture with primary monocytes, Plasmodium-infected RBCs, and antibody induces IL-10 production by NK cells. These data suggest that NK cells may help with protection from malaria because of IL-10 induction.

Malaria-driven expansion of adaptive-like functional CD56-negative NK cells correlates with clinical immunity to malaria

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells likely play an important role in immunity to malaria, but whether repeated malaria modifies the NK cell response remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively profiled the NK cell response in a cohort of 264 Ugandan children. Repeated malaria exposure was associated with expansion of an atypical, CD56neg population of NK cells that differed transcriptionally, epigenetically, and phenotypically from CD56dim NK cells, including decreased expression of PLZF and the Fc receptor g chain, increased histone methylation, and increased protein expression of LAG-3, KIR and LILRB1. CD56neg NK cells were highly functional, displaying greater antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity than CD56dim NK cells, and higher frequencies of these cells were associated with protection against symptomatic malaria and high parasite densities. Importantly, following marked reductions in malaria transmission, frequencies of these cells rapidly declined, suggesting that continuous exposure to malaria is required to maintain this modified, adaptive-like NK cell subset.

Systemic 4-1BB stimulation augments extrafollicular memory B cell formation and recall responses during Plasmodium infection [scATAC-seq]

Project description:T-dependent germinal center (GC) output, comprising plasma cells (PC) and memory B cells (MBC), is crucial for the clearance of Plasmodium infection and protection against reinfection. In this study, we examined the effect of an agonistic antibody targeting 4-1BB (CD137), a member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily (TNFRSF), during experimental malaria. We found that exogenous 4-1BB stimulation dramatically enhanced humoral immune memory and protection from reinfection, despite delaying the effector GC response. Although fewer in number, single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing of MBCs from mice that received 4-1BB stimulation revealed clusters with a transcriptional and epigenetic signature indicative of superior recall and proliferative potential. Importantly, our results indicate that these effects are independent of parasite load or the inflammatory milieu but are dependent on IL-9R signaling in B cells. Our study proposes an immunomodulatory approach to enhance the quality of the MBC pool, providing superior protection during infection and vaccination, particularly in the context of malaria.

A molecular signature for IL-10-producing Th1 cells in protozoan parasitic diseases

Project description:Control of the intracellular parasites that cause malaria and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is dependent on the generation of pro-inflammatory, IFNÃŽÂ³+ Tbet+ CD4+ T (Th1) cells by infected hosts. Immunoregulatory IL-10 produced by Th1 cells serves to mitigate subsequent inflammation and related disease pathology. However, these IL-10-producing Th1 (Tr1) cells can also not only promote parasite persistence, but may impair immunity to re-infection and potential vaccine efficacy. Here, we identify molecular and phenotypic signatures that distinguish Th1 cells from Tr1 cells in both experimental VL, caused by infection of C57BL/6 mice with the human parasite Leishmania donovani, and in Plasmodium falciparum-infected humans participating in controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) studies. Such characterisations allow for the better understanding of Tr1 cell development and function in the context of these parasitic diseases, and for the identification of targets for immune modulation to improve anti-parasitic immunity.
