Single-cell transcriptomic profile of innate cell populations in mesenteric lymph nodes of inflammatory bowel disease patients

ABSTRACT: Innate immune cells, including dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes (Mono), macrophages (Mac), natural killer (NK) and innate lymphoid cells (ILC), contribute to chronic inflammation in lymphoid tissues. Here, we characterized the innate immune cell landscape in inflamed mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) at the single-cell level. CITE-seq analysis unveiled the molecular signature of 11 Mono/Mac/DC (MMDC) and 7 NK/ILC enriched clusters in human MLNs. DC clusters included 3 newly characterized DC clusters: CD1c/CD163/VCAN/CD64-expressing DC3; AXL-expressing DCs; and a CD103+ DC subset, expressing LTB, S100B, and IL22RA2 (encoding IL22BP). Mono/Mac clusters comprised inflammatory monocytes, which accumulated in IBD compared to non-IBD MLNs. Among NK/ILC clusters, we identified a cytotoxic ILC subset (IL7R, KLRD1, GNLY), previously not reported in MLNs, reminiscent of cytotoxic ILC1-like cells found in inflamed gut mucosa.

Transcriptomic analysis and high dimensional phenotypic mapping of mononuclear phagocytes in mesenteric lymph nodes reveal differences between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

Project description:Background and Aims: Crohn’s disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] are distinct forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Heterogeneity of HLA-DR+SIRPα + mononuclear phagocytes [MNPs], including macrophages [MΦ], monocyte-derived [Mono] cells, and dendritic cells [DCs], was reported in gut tissue but not yet investigated in mesenteric lymph nodes [MLNs] of IBD patients. We here compared the phenotype, function, and molecular profile of HLA-DR+SIRPα+ MNPs in CD and UC MLNs. Methods: Cell distribution, morphology, immune function, and transcriptomic [bulk RNAseq] and high-dimensional protein expression profiles [CyTOF] of HLA-DR+SIRPα+ MNPs were examined in MLNs of UC [n = 14], CD [n = 35], and non-IBD [n = 12] patients. Results: Elevated frequencies of CD14+CD64+CD163+ [Mono/MΦ-like] MNPs displaying monocyte/ MΦ morphology and phagocytic function were a distinct feature of UC MLNs. In CD, the proportion of CD14-CD64-CD163- [DC-like] cells was augmented relative to Mono/MΦ-like cells; DC-like cells drove naïve T cell proliferation, Th1 polarisation, and Th17 TCM plasticity. Gene expression profile corroborated the nature of DC-like cells, best represented by BTLA, SERPINF, IGJ and, of Mono/MΦ- like cells, defined by CD163, MARCO, MAFB, CD300E, S100A9 expression. CyTOF analysis showed that CD123+ plasmacytoid cells predominated over conventional DCs in DC-like cells. Four CD163+ clusters were revealed in Mono/MΦ-like cells, two of which were enriched in MARCO-CD68dimHLA-DRdim monocyte-like cells and MARCOhiCD68hiHLA-DRhi Mɸ, whose proportion increased in UC relative to CD. Conclusions: Defining the landscape of MNPs in MLNs provided evidence for expansion of CD163+ Mono/MΦ-like cells in UC only, highlighting a distinction between UC and CD, and thus the potential contribution of monocyte-like cells in driving colitis.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of ILCs and T cells reveals enrichment of NK-like T cells in pediatric and adult inflammatory bowel disease

Project description:Background and aims: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the innate counterparts of adaptive T cells, which together execute specialized effector programs in the intestinal mucosa. Understanding how unique and common dysregulation of the innate and adaptive lymphocytes contribute to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis is crucial for development of novel and efficient therapies. Methods: We used flow cytometry to extensively characterize ILCs in pediatric (p)IBD patients (n=12) and controls (n=9), as well as single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the heterogeneity and inflammation-specific imprinting of ILCs, NK cells and T cells (n=6). Key findings were extended to adult IBD colonic mucosa (n=8) using flow cytometry. Results: We report a dysregulated mucosal ILC composition in pIBD that correlates to inflammatory activity. ILCs show pronounced and unique transcriptional changes in inflammation, particularly those related to antigen-presentation, while several interferon-associated transcripts are upregulated across lymphocyte lineages in inflammation. Furthermore, we identify two transcriptionally distinct T cell subsets, which are dysregulated in inflammation. This includes a subset transcribing KLRF1 and other NK-associated transcripts, that were enriched in inflamed pIBD mucosa. A corresponding NK-like NKp80+ T cell population, expressing high levels of NK cell receptors and cytotoxic molecules, are also accumulated in adult IBD. Conclusions: Using a combination of high-dimensional single-cell analysis on the transcriptional and protein level, we provide a comprehensive characterization of ILCs and T cells in pediatric and adult IBD. Our findings contribute to increased mechanistic understanding of intestinal inflammation and identify promising targets for IBD therapy, including the NK cell receptor NKp80.

CD45RA+CD62L- ILCs represent a quiescent local reservoir for the generation of mature ILC in human tissues

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are highly plastic and predominantly mucosal tissue-resident cells that contribute to both homeostasis and inflammation depending on the microenvironment. The recent discovery of naïve-like tissue-resident ILCs suggests an ILC differentiation process that is akin to naïve T cell differentiation. Delineating the naïve-like ILC heterogeneity and the transcriptional, epigenetic and functional mechanisms that underlie ILC differentiation in tissues is crucial for understanding ILC biology in health and disease. Here we show that CD62L distinguishes two subsets of naïve-like CD45RA+ ILCs in tonsil tissue. While both subsets contain uni- and multipotent precursors of ILC1/NK cells and ILC3, CD62L+ ILCs resemble bona fide naïve ILCs with metabolism reminiscent of naïve T cells, lacking transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of mature ILCs. CD62L- ILCs are epigenetically similar to, but transcriptionally distinct from CD62L+ naïve-like ILCs including transcripts of cytokine signaling and metabolic pathways related to mature ILCs. A similar population of CD62L- quiescent ILCs with preferential differentiation capacity towards IL-22-producing ILC3 accumulate in the inflamed mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These data suggest that naïve-like and quiescent ILCs are imprinted by their tissue microenvironment that poises their differentiation potential. Our findings identify restoration of homeostatic IL-22-producing ILC3 from CD62L- quiescent ILCs as a potential approach to improve tissue healing in IBD.

Innate lymphoid cell development requires TOX-dependent generation of a common ILC progenitor

Project description:Subtypes of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), defined by effector function and transcription factor expression, have recently been identified. In the adult, ILC derive from common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow, although transcriptional regulation of the developmental pathways involved remains poorly defined. TOX is required for development of lymphoid tissue inducer cells, a type of ILC3 required for lymph node organogenesis, and NK cells, a type of ILC1. We show here that production of multiple ILC lineages requires TOX, as a result of TOX-dependent development of common ILC progenitors. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrated failure to induce various aspects of the ILC gene program in the absence of TOX, implicating this nuclear factor as a key early determinant of ILC lineage specification.

Differential pathogenic Th17 profile in mesenteric lymph nodes of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients

Project description:The drug targets IL23 and IL12 regulate pathogenicity and plasticity of intestinal Th17 cells in Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the two most common inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, studies examining Th17 dysregulation in mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) of these patients are rare. We showed that in mLNs, CD could be distinguished from UC by increased frequencies of CCR6+CXCR3-RORg+Tbet-CD4+ (Th17) memory T cells enriched in CD62Llow effector memory T cells (TEM), and their differentially expressed molecular profile. Th17 TEM cells (expressing IL17A, IL17F, RORC and STAT3) displayed a higher pathogenic/cytotoxic (IL23R, IL18RAP, and GZMB, CD160, PRF1) gene signature in CD relative to UC, while non-pathogenic/regulatory genes (IL9, FOXP3, CTLA4) were more elevated in UC. In both CD and UC, IL12 but not IL23, augmented IFNg expression in Th17 TEM and switched their molecular profile towards an ex-Th17 (Th1*)-biased transcriptomic signature (increased IFNG, and decreased TCF7, IL17A), suggesting that Th17 plasticity occurs in mLNs before their recruitment to inflamed colon. We propose that differences observed between Th17 cell frequencies and their molecular profile in CD and UC might have implications in understanding disease pathogenesis, and thus, therapeutic management of patients with IBD.

Dendritic cells regulate the innate-adaptive balance in lymph nodes for optimal host defense

Project description:Lymph nodes (LNs) enable innate defense to limit pathogen dissemination while also driving adaptive immunity. Yet, certain innate responses can restrict adaptive processes, suggesting that these must be tightly regulated. Here, we report that after infection or immunization, LN architecture is rapidly altered, with large-scale, polarized recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes from inflamed blood vessels, and intranodal repositioning of NK cells. Mechanistically, dendritic cells (DCs) promote this process through expression of inflammatory chemokines and integrin ligands. While necessary for efficient pathogen containment, DC-driven innate cell responses paradoxically limit early adaptive immunity, with infiltrating neutrophils displacing lymphocytes and reducing the LN area available for T cell priming. Upon threat secession however, DCs and DC-recruited monocytes phagocytose the neutrophils, restoring tissue architecture and generating polarized domains for downstream adaptive immune cell activation. Thus, DCs orchestrate innate cell organization during inflammation, serving as rheostats of innate versus adaptive functions of the LN.

Gene expression analysis of CD4+ and CD4- ILC1 subsets by RNAseq

Project description:Innate lymphoid cell (ILC) subsets that mirror helper T cells in their effector cytokine profiles have recently emerged as central players in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. Like their Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 helper T cell counterparts, ILC subsets are categorized based on their expression of specific transcription factors and effector cytokines: group 1 ILC (ILC1) express T-bet and IFN-Î³; group 2 ILC (ILC2) express GATA-3 and type 2 effector cytokines such as IL-13 and IL-5; and group 3 ILC (ILC3) express RORgt and the cytokines IL-22 and/or IL-17. Under this nomenclature, natural killer (NK) cells and lymphoid tissue inducers (LTi) are considered ILC1 and ILC3, respectively. ILC1 contain both CD4+ and CD4- populations, but whether this phenotypic characteristic reflects functional differences between these two populations is unknown. These studies examine the gene expression profiles of CD4+ vs CD4- ILC1 in a cohort of healthy control subjects. ILC subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy control subjects. cDNA was isolated and amplified from sorted populations, and gene expression was analyzed by RNAseq

Systemic human ILC precursors provide a substrate for tissue ILC differentiation

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We identify ILCP that are present in the blood and all tested lymphoid and non-lymphoid human tissues. Human ILCP fail to express the signature transcription factors (TF) and cytokine outputs of mature NK cells and ILCs but are epigenetically poised to do so. Human ILCP robustly generate all ILC subsets in vitro and in vivo. While human ILCP express RAR related orphan receptor C (RORC), circulating ILCP can be found in RORC-deficient patients that retain potential for EOMES+ NK cells, T-BET+ ILC1, GATA-3+ ILC2 and for IL-22+ but not for IL-17A+ ILC3. We propose a model of tissue ILC differentiation (‘ILC-poiesis’) whereby diverse ILC subsets are generated in situ from ILCP in response to environmental stressors, inflammation and infection.

Transcriptomic profiling of the role of Ctla4 in the innate immune system

Project description:The maintenance of intestinal homeostasis is a fundamental process critical for organismal integrity. Sitting at the interface of the gut microbiome and mucosal immunity, adaptive and innate lymphoid populations regulate the balance between commensal micro-organisms and pathogens. Checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), particularly those targeting the CTLA-4 pathway, disrupt this fine balance and can lead to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and immune checkpoint colitis (CPI-C). Here, we show that CTLA-4 is expressed by innate lymphoid cells (ILC) and that its expression is regulated by ILC subset-specific cytokine cues in a microbiota-dependent manner. Genetic deletion or antibody blockade of CTLA-4 demonstrates that this pathway plays a key role in intestinal homeostasis and is conserved in human IBD and CPI-induced colitis (CPI-C). We propose that this population of CTLA-4-positive ILC may serve as an important target for the treatment of idiopathic and iatrogenic intestinal inflammation.
