Antigen-restricted homeostatic Candida albicans Th17 cells link oral-gut immunity and adapt in intestinal inflammation

ABSTRACT: The commensal yeast Candida albicans is a major inducer of human Th17 cells. How C. albicans drives Th17 responses at homeostasis, and whether such responses contribute to inflammatory diseases, remains poorly understood. Here, we show that C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells exhibit a surprisingly narrow antigen-specificity, targeting a limited set of proteins enriched in fungal extracellular vesicles. At homeostasis, these cells predominantly reside in the oral mucosa. T cell receptor profiling reveals shared clonotypes across oral and gut tissues with C. albicans emerging as the major driver of this repertoire overlap. In Crohn’s disease (CD), C. albicans-specific Th17 cells with features of oral priming are enriched in intestinal tissues where they retain specificity for the same protein targets but acquire pathogenic Th17 traits. Together, our results reveal a stable, antigen-restricted C. albicans Th17 response shared across mucosal sites that undergoes functional adaptation in the inflamed intestine, thus representing a novel target for immune modulation in CD.

A glimpse of natural selection of long-lived T cell clones in healthy life

Project description:We designed a lineage tracing method to label a wave of T cells produced in the thymus of young. TCR repertoire analysis revealed that the lineage-tracked CD4 memory-like T cells and T regulatory cells exhibited age-dependent enrichment of shared clonotypes, indicating that antigen matched T regulatory cells are involved in maintaining the tolerant status of long-lived T cell clones. Furthermore, these shared clonotypes were found across different mice maintained in the same housing condition mice. Examination of antigen-specificity of aging-tracking T-cell subtype.

Characterisation of Two New Th17-Subsets with Distinct Contribution to HIV-1 Persistence under Antiretroviral Therapy

Project description:Th17 cells act as the first line of defense against pathogens at mucosal surfaces. Their paucity during HIV infection causes disease progression. Here, we reveal the existence of two new CCR6+CD161+ subsets, CCR4-CXCR3- (DN; double negative) and CCR4+CXCR3+ (DP; double positive), expressing typical Th17 transcripts (e.g., RORγt, RORα, PTPN13, ARNTL), C. albicans specificity, and exhibiting Th17-lineage commitment versus flexibility.

Human Th17 cells engage gasdermin E pores to release IL-1alpha upon NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:Adaptive immune responses are tailored to the invading microbial antigen and tissue microenvironment, resulting in diverse context-specific inflammatory signatures. There is emerging evidence that innate immune responses coopt adaptive properties such as memory. Whether T cells harness innate immune signaling pathways to diversify their repertoire of effector functions remains unknown. Here, we found that human T cells expressed gasdermin E (GSDME), a membrane pore-forming molecule that has recently been shown to execute pyroptotic cell death and thus to serve as a potential cancer checkpoint. In T cells, GSDME expression was, in contrast, associated with durable viability and was repurposed for the tunneled release of the innate danger signal IL-1. This property was restricted to a subset of human Th17 cells with antigen specificity for C. albicans and was regulated by a T-cell-intrinsic NLRP3 inflammasome and its engagement of a proteolytic cascade of successive caspase-8, caspase-3 and GSDME cleavage following T-cell receptor stimulation and calcium-licensed calpain maturation of the pro-IL1 form. This equipped human Th17 cells with a so far overlooked effector function that contributes to the clearance of C. albicans. Our results propose GSDME pore formation in T cells as a mechanism of unconventional cytokine release through harnessing of innate signaling platforms in response to adaptive stimuli. This finding diversifies the functional repertoire and mechanistic equipment of T cells and thus suggests new therapeutic strategies for targeting the proinflammatory identity of human Th17 cells in anti-fungal host defense.

Candida albicans-specific Th17 cell-mediated response contributes to alcohol-associated liver disease [scRNA & scTCR-seq]

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease is accompanied by changes in the intestinal mycobiome. How fungal dysbiosis contributes to liver disease is not clear. T-helper (Th17) cells mediate immune responses against fungi, but the interleukin 17 (IL17) pathway has been associated with pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease. Here, we demonstrate that Candida albicans (C. albicans)-specific Th17 cells are increased in the circulation and present in the liver of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. Chronic ethanol administration to mice results in migration of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells from the intestine to the liver. The antifungal agent nystatin reduced intestinal fungal overgrowth, decreased C. albicans-specific Th17 cells in the liver, and reduced features of ethanol-induced liver disease in mice. Transgenic mice that express a T-cell receptor (TCR) reactive to Candida antigens develop more severe ethanol-induced liver disease than transgene-negative littermates; disease severity was reduced by administration of an antibody against IL17 to the TCR transgenic mice. Adoptive transfer of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells exacerbated ethanol-induced liver disease in wild-type mice. IL17 receptor A (IL17ra) signaling in Kupffer cells was required for the effects of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells. Our findings indicate that ethanol increases C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells, which contribute to alcohol-associated liver disease.

Two distinct colonic CD14+ subsets characterized by single-cell RNA profiling in Crohn's disease

Project description:Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with dysregulated immune responses in the intestinal tissue. Four molecularly identified macrophage subsets control immune homeostasis in healthy gut. However, the specific roles and transcriptomic profiles of the phenotypically heterogeneous CD14+ macrophage-like population in inflamed gut remain to be investigated in Crohn’s disease (CD). Here we identified two phenotypically, morphologically and functionally distinct colonic HLADR+SIRPα+CD14+ subpopulations that were further characterized using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) in CD. Frequencies of CD64hiCD163−/dim cells selectively augmented in inflamed colon and correlated with endoscopic score of disease severity. IL-1β and IL-23-producing CD64hiCD163−/dim cells predominated over TNF-α-producing CD64hiCD163hi cells in lesions. Purified “inflammatory monocyte-like” CD163−, but not “macrophage-like” CD163hi cells, through IL-1β, promoted Th17/Th1 but not Th1 responses in tissue memory CD4+T cells. Unsupervised scRNAseq analysis that captures the entire HLADR+SIRPα+ population revealed six clusters, two of which were enriched in either CD163− or CD163hi cells, and best defined by TREM1/FCAR/FCN1/IL1RN or CD209/MERTK/MRCI/CD163L1 genes, respectively. Selected newly identified discriminating markers were used beyond CD163 to isolate cells that shared pro-Th17/Th1 function with CD163− cells. In conclusion, a molecularly distinct pro-inflammatory CD14+ subpopulation accumulates in inflamed colon, drives intestinal inflammatory T-cell responses, and thus, might contribute to CD disease severity.
