CGRP-Related Neuropeptide Adrenomedullin 2 Promotes Tissue-Protective ILC2 Responses and Limits Intestinal Inflammation

ABSTRACT: Neuro-immune circuits regulate innate and adaptive immunity at barrier surfaces, however the differential impact of these circuits on proinflammatory versus tissue-protective responses remains poorly defined. We identify that enteric neurons produce CGRP-related adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2), and identify a previously unrecognized role for the ADM2-ADM2 receptor pathway in promoting intestinal tissue-protective functions of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Genomic or ILC2-intrinsic deletion of ADM2 receptor subunits resulted in a significant reduction in tissue-protective ILC2 responses, defective amphiregulin (AREG) production and increased susceptibility to intestinal damage and inflammation. Conversely, therapeutic delivery of recombinant ADM2 elicited tissue-protective AREG production in ILC2s and limited intestinal inflammation. Expression of genes encoding human ADM2 receptor (CALCRL and RAMP3) was altered in IBD patients and associated with reduced expression of AREG in ILC2s. Collectively, these findings identify that the ADM2-ADM2 receptor pathway can promote tissue-protective functions of ILC2s in the context of intestinal damage and inflammation.

Dietary fiber is a critical determinant of pathologic ILC2 responses and intestinal inflammation - Bulk RNA-Seq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) can promote host defense, chronic inflammation or tissue protection and are regulated by cytokines and neuropeptides. However, their regulation by diet and microbiota-derived signals remains unclear. We show that an inulin fiber diet promotes Tph1-expressing inflammatory ILC2s (ILC2INFLAM) in the colon which produce IL-5 but not tissue-protective amphiregulin (AREG), resulting in accumulation of eosinophils. This exacerbates inflammation in a murine model of intestinal damage and inflammation in an ILC2- and eosinophil-dependent manner. Mechanistically, inulin fiber diet elevated microbiota-derived bile acids, including cholic acid (CA) that induced expression of ILC2-activating IL-33. In IBD patients, bile acids, their receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR), IL-33, and eosinophils were all upregulated compared to controls, suggesting relevance of this diet-ILC2 axis in human IBD pathogenesis. Together, these data reveal that dietary fiber-induced changes in microbial metabolites operate as a rheostat that governs protective versus pathologic ILC2 responses with relevance to precision nutrition for inflammatory diseases.

The Protective Role of Integrin α4β7 and Amphiregulin-Expressing Innate Lymphoid Cells in Lupus Nephritis

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have emerged as key immune-response regulators in renal-inflammatory diseases such as lupus nephritis. However, the adhesion and migration of ILC2s, including in the homeostatic and diseased kidney, are poorly understood. By integrating transcriptomic profiling, flow cytometry, live-cell imaging, and in-vivo models, we showed that renal ILCs are retained in the homeostatic kidney by the adherence of their cell-surface integrin α4β7 to VCAM-1, E-cadherin or fibronectin on structural kidney cells. When cultured on these ligands, ILC2s demonstrated remarkable migration. Knocking down integrin-α4β7 expression reduced ILC2 Areg production. In lupus nephritis, TLR7/9 may downregulate ILC2 expression of integrin-α4β7, thereby both reducing Areg expression and promoting ILC2 egress. Areg loss may promote the proinflammatory-cytokine secretion by T cells. IL-33 upregulated ILC2 integrin-α4β7 and Areg expression. Notably, IL-33 treatment enhanced survival in lupus nephritis by mitigating kidney inflammation. Thus, ILC2 adhesion may be a therapeutic target for autoimmune kidney diseases.

Retinoic acid drives intestine-specific adaptation of effector ILC2s originating from distant sites [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Adaptation of immune cells to tissue-specific microenvironments is a crucial process in homeostasis and inflammation. Here, we show that murine effector type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) from various organs are equally effective in repopulating ILC2 niches in other anatomical locations where they adapt tissue-specific phenotypes of target organs. Single-cell transcriptomics of ILC2 populations revealed upregulation of retinoic acid (RA) signaling in ILC2s during adaptation to the small intestinal microenvironment, and RA signaling mediated reprogramming of kidney effector ILC2s towards the small intestinal phenotype in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of intestinal ILC2 adaptation by blocking RA signaling impaired worm expulsion during Strongyloides ratti infection, indicating functional importance of ILC2 tissue imprinting. In conclusion, this study highlights that effector ILC2s retain the ability to adapt to changing tissue-specific microenvironments, enabling them to exert tissue-specific functions, such as promoting control of intestinal helminth infections.

Retinoid X Receptor Gamma Dictates Reactivity of Intestinal Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells and Constrains Type 2 Inflammation

Project description:In this work we report that retinoid x receptor gamma (Rxrg) was highly expressed in small intestinal ILC2s, but rapidly suppressed by alarming cytokines. Genetic deletion of Rxrg didn’t impact ILC2 development, but significantly facilitated ILC2 responses and type 2 inflammation induced by IL-25 or helminths. RXRγ maintained the expression of its target genes that support cholesterol efflux in ILC2s. Chemical inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase rescued the abnormal responses of RXRγ-deficient ILC2s. Furthermore, RXRγ expression in ILC2s protected the host from the intestinal mastocytosis induced by skin injury. We propose that the dynamic regulation of RXRγ expression and it mediated genomic states functions as a cell-intrinsic circuit to determine ILC2 reactivity in the small intestine.

Transcription factor Bcl11b controls identity and function of mature innate lymphoid cells type II

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promote anti-helminth responses and contribute to allergies. Though Bcl11b has been previously considered a T-lineage identity transcription factor (TF) that restrains the innate-cell genetic programs, we report here that Bcl11b is highly expressed in mature ILC2s and acts upstream of the key ILC2 TFs Gfi1, Gata-3, and of IL-33 receptor IL1rl1 (T1ST2). Additionally, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s de-repressed Rorγt, Ahr and IL-23 receptor, normally expressed in type-3 ILCs (ILC3s). Consequently, Bcl11b-/- ILC2s lost ILC2 functions and gained ILC3 functions, expanding in response to the protease allergen papain, however producing IL-17 and IL-22, and not IL-5 and IL-13, causing lung neutrophilia rather than eosinophilia, and diminished mucus production. Our results broaden Bcl11b's role from a T-cell only TF, and establishes that Bcl11b sustains mature ILC2 genetic and functional programs and lineage fidelity through positive regulation of essential ILC2 TFs and negative regulation of pivotal ILC3 TFs. RNA-seq analysis on sorted ILC2s from the mLNs of Bcl11bF/F Cre-ERT2 and wildtype mice at steady state following tamoxifen mediated deletion of Bcl11b

Chromatin accessibility landscapes of WT (GFP-) and BATF KO (GFP+) ILC3s sorted from lung mature ILC2s

Project description:Activated type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) accumulate and promote inflammatory resolution and tissue repair in host defense against acute respiratory viral infections. However, the heterogeneity of ILC2s in the lung and the mechanisms by which ILC2 cells contribute to tissue repair remain elusive. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), we identified a transcriptionally distinct ILC2 subset that showed enrichment for wound healing signature genes and the transcription factor BATF. Notably, BATF promoted the proliferation and function of ILC2s and restricted their plasticity during infection with influenza virus. In the absence of BATF, ILC2s lost their immune protective properties and obtained pathogenic ILC3-like function, which led to persist neutrophil infiltration, tissue damage and lethality. Mechanistically, BATF directly bound the cis-regulatory elements of wound healing genes, maintained their chromatin accessibility and promoted their expression. Lastly, BATF played an important role in an IL-33-ST2 feed-forward loop that supports ILC2 cell identity and function. Collectively, our findings shed light on a BATF-dependent ILC2 program, thereby providing a potential therapeutic target for terminating detrimental inflammation during acute viral infection.

Epigenome analysis reveals novel aspects of ILC2 activation and supports a pathogenic role in asthma

Project description:Recent studies have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) can drive eosinophilic airway inflammation in mouse models of asthma. Moreover, elevated ILC2 counts and/or activity have been reported in asthmatics, together suggesting that ILC2s play an important role in asthma pathophysiology. However, many aspects of ILC2 biology are not fully understood, including the mechanisms underlying ILC2 activation, the tissue-specific functions of ILC2s during inflammation (e.g. lung versus draining lymph node) and what drives ILC2 plasticity. Importantly, it is unknown whether human (epi)genetic variation associated with asthma susceptibility and persistence can be coupled to ILC2s. We address these questions in our manuscript by studying the epigenome of murine ILC2s obtained from Gata3-reporter mice with eosinophilic airway inflammation as well as human ILC2s obtained from peripheral blood and activated in vitro.

Dopamine inhibits type 2 innate lymphoid cell-driven allergic lung inflammation via dampening mitochondrial activity

Project description:Neuroimmune interactions are critical regulators of tissue homeostasis and allergic inflammation, and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) have emerged as an important cell type for mediating these interactions. Here, we identified that the abundance of dopamine (DA) was negatively correlated with the number of circulating ILC2s and lung function in human. Dopamine potently suppressed lung ILC2 responses in mice, which was dependent on the expression of dopamine receptor DRD1. Correspondingly, the local ablation of dopaminergic neurons further augmented ILC2 responses and aggravated allergic lung inflammation. Transcriptome and metabolic analyses revealed that dopamine impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway in ILC2s. Augmentation of OXPHOS activity with oltipraz antagonized the inhibitory effects of dopamine. Finally, the local administration of dopamine dramatically alleviated allergen-induced ILC2 responses and airway inflammation. Our work highlights a model where dopamine is critical for suppressing ILC2 responses and maintaining homeostasis of type 2 immune machinery in lung.
