Low Input Asay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin Identifies Epigenetic Signatures of Liver Group 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic regulation is fundamental to the development, activation, and memory formation of Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), including NK cells and ILC1s. Studying chromatin accessibility in these cells, especially from tissues, is limited by low cell numbers. Here, we present a robust, low-input bulk ATAC-seq protocol optimized for primary NK cells and ILC1s. Our improved protocol achieves high-quality libraries with as few as 5,000 cells. Applying this protocol to liver-derived NK cells and ILC1s, we identify over 30,000 differentially accessible regions, reflecting distinct epigenetic regulation. Our findings reveal key transcription factor motifs and confirm known gene accessibility patterns, highlighting functional divergence between these cell types. This accessible protocol enables reliable epigenetic profiling of rare ILC populations, improving the study of tissue-resident immunity.

Toxoplasma gondii Infection Promotes NK Cell Conversion into ILC1s and Heterogeneous ILC1 Populations

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise several subsets that were originally classified based on their cytokine production profiles. Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 ILCs (ILC1s) were initially classified together, but recent data supported their separation into different lineages. Here we describe how infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induces changes to NK1.1+ NKp46+ cells that persist independent of ongoing infection. Notably, there is an expansion of Eomes– CD49a+ cells that superficially resemble ILC1s, but express unique genes, circulate throughout the vasculature, and possess distinct epigenetic marks. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirms T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells are distinct from both conventional NK cells and ILC1s. Furthermore, there is heterogeneity within this population, as both conventional NK cells and ILC1s contribute to their formation. Indeed, downregulation of Eomes within conventional NK cells accounts for most T. gondii-induced Eomes– CD49a+ cells, indicating that NK cells can give rise to cells resembling ILC1s during infection.

The inositol phosphtase INPP4B sustains ILC1s and intratumoral NK cells through an AKT-driven survival pathway

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous population of lymphocytes that coordinate early immune responses and maintain tissue homeostasis. Type 1 immune responses are mediated by natural killer (NK) cells and group 1 ILCs (ILC1s). Despite their shared features, NK cells and ILC1s display profound differences among various tissue microenvironments. Here, we identify the inositol polyphosphatase INPP4B as a hallmark feature of tissue-resident ILC1s and intratumoral NK cells using a scRNA-seq atlas of tissue-associated and circulating NK/ILC1s. Conditional deletion of Inpp4b in ILC1s and NK cells reveals that it is necessary for the homeostasis of tissue-resident ILC1s but not circulating NK cells at steady-state. Inpp4b-deficient cells display increased rates of apoptosis and reduced activation of the pro-survival molecule AKT. Furthermore, expression of Inpp4b by NK/ILC1s is necessary for their presence in the intratumoral environment and lack of Inpp4b impairs antitumor immunity. These findings highlight INPP4B as a novel regulator of tissue residency and antitumor function in ILC1s and NK cells.

scRNAseq of human blood, tonsil, lung and small intestine innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are cytotoxic and interferon gamma-producing lymphocytes lacking antigen-specific receptors, which include ILC1s and natural killer (NK) cells. In mice, ILC1s differ from NK cells, as they develop independently of the NK-specifying transcription factor EOMES, while requiring the repressor ZFP683 (ZNF683 in humans) for tissue residency. Here we identify highly variable ILC1 subtypes across tissues through investigation of human ILC1 diversity by single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry. The intestinal epithelium contained abundant mature EOMES− ILC1s expressing PRDM1 rather than ZNF683, alongside a few immature TCF7+PRDM1− ILC1s. Other tissues harbored NK cells expressing ZNF683 and EOMES transcripts; however, EOMES protein content was variable. These ZNF683+ NK cells are tissue-imprinted NK cells phenotypically resembling ILC1s. The tissue ILC1-NK spectrum also encompassed conventional NK cells and NK cells distinguished by PTGDS expression. These findings establish a foundation for evaluating phenotypic and functional changes within the NK-ILC1 spectrum in diseases.

PLZF expression maps the early stages of ILC1 lineage development

Project description:Diverse populations of natural killer cells, which exert critical early cytolytic functions against virally infected cells, have recently been uncovered, raising issues of lineage relationships. We used expression of the transcription factor PLZF to identify the developmental intermediates of ILC1s, a subset of natural killer-like cells that are particularly abundant in the liver, and demonstrated a distinct precursor but parallel development and partial overlap with established classical NK stages. Using microarray analysis, we defined a set of PLZF-dependent genes that contributed to the lineage divergence between ILC1s and classical NK cells. Liver lymphocytes from pools of PLZF+/+ or PLZF-/- mice were sorted into ILC1s and cNKs for RNA isolation and Illumina expression profiling.

Assessing chromatin accessibility in WT and STAT4-/- ILC1s

Project description:STAT4 dynamically interacts with the genomic landscape and functions in modulating chromatin accessibility to influence gene expression. We aimed to evaluate the impact of STAT4 on chromatin accessibility of colonic lamina propria ILC1s. To address this aim, we sorted ILC1s from the colonic LP of unmanipulated C57BL/6 and STAT4-/- mice and performed the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq).

Comparison of ILC1s and NK cells transcriptomes in subcutaneous tumor model

Project description:ILC1s are tissue-resident lymphocytes, their recruitment, migration and infiltration into subcutaneous tumors is a big concern. In addition, as NK cells and ILC1s are phenotypically similar, it is difficult to assess the relative contribution of these two cell types to anti-tumor function. Here, we compared the transcriptomes of ILC1s and NK cells from MC38 tumor-bearing mice to understand the biological/phenotypic changes of ILC1s.

Optimized protocol for assay for transposase-accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) from Drosophila melanogaster brain tissue

Project description:Transposase-accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) has emerged as an advantageous technique to assess chromatin accessibility owing to the robustness of "tagmentation" process and a relatively faster library preparation. A comprehensive ATAC-seq protocol from Drosophila brain tissue is currently unavailable. Here, we have provided a detailed protocol of ATAC-seq assay from Drosophila brain tissue. Starting from dissection and transposition to amplification of libraries has been elaborated. Furthermore, a robust ATAC-seq analysis pipeline has been presented. The protocol can be easily adapted for other soft tissues.

scRNASeq of human innate lymphoid cells from different compartments

Project description:Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise a heterogeneous family of cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cells and ILC1s. We identifiy a population of Ã¢Â€Âœliver-typeÃ¢Â€Â ILC1s with transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional features distinct from those of conventional and liver-resident NK cells as well as from other previously described human ILC1 subsets. LT-ILC1s were CD49a+CD94+CD200R1+, expressed the transcription factor T-BET, do not express the activating receptor NKp80, or the transcription factor EOMES. Similar to NK cells, liver-type ILC1s produce IFN-ÃŽÂ³, TNF-ÃŽÂ±, and GM-CSF; however, liver-type ILC1s also produce IL-2 and lack perforin and granzyme B. Liver- type ILC1s are expanded in cirrhotic liver tissues, and they can be produced from blood-derived ILC precursors in vitro in the presence of TGF-ÃŽÂ²1 and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. Cells with similar signature and function can also be found in tonsil and intestinal tissues. Collectively, our study identifies and classifies a population of human cross-tissue ILC1s.

Hobit confers tissue dependent programs to type 1 innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Innate responses against viral infection and other intracellular pathogens rely on immune cells that are capable of lysing infected cells and producing interferon-gamma (IFNγ). These cells encompass two major cell lineages: natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). While NK cells have been extensively characterized, identification of ILC1s and their distinction from NK cells is less clear. The transcription factor Hobit encoded by Zfp683 has been put forth as a prototypic feature of ILC1s. By analyzing Zfp683 reporter, fate-map and deficient mice, we demonstrate that the impact of Hobit on ILC1 identity, transcriptional and functional programs is tissue- and context-dependent. Thus, ILC1s functionally adapt to local stimuli and tailor their responses to the tissue niche.

Multi-tissue Single-Cell Analysis Deconstructs the Complexities of Mouse NK-ILC1 Programs

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are a heterogenous group of T-bet+ innate cells that produce IFN-γ and are broadly defined as lineage–NK1.1+NKp46+ cells in mice. ILC1s definition primarily stems from studies on liver-resident and small intestinal populations. However, ILC1s in many anatomical sites, including visceral adipose tissue, salivary glands, and uterus, exhibit non-uniform programs that do not adequately overlap with those of liver or gut ILC1s or NK cells. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on murine NK1.1+NKp46+ cells from blood, spleen, lymph nodes, liver, salivary gland, uterus, visceral adipose tissue, small intestines, and several solid tumors. By including cells from an array of niches we defined tissue-specific ILC1 subsets. Moreover, we found a significant heterogeneity of circulating NK cells, due to a spectrum of proliferating, effector and migration programs, which was reduced in tumor-bearing mice, demonstrating repertoire reshaping in response to diseased conditions.
