Distinct phenotype and effector function of CD4 coreceptor disparate iNKT cell subsets

ABSTRACT: Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are thymus-derived innate-like T cells that lack CD8 and express either CD4 (CD4SP) or no coreceptors (DN). The role of coreceptors in iNKT cell development and effector functions, however, remains unclear. Here, we show that CD4 expression correlates with the subset identity of iNKT cells, specifically unveiling a dichotomy of CD4 coreceptors among IFNγ-producing iNKT cells that we refer to as NKT1.4+ and NKT1.4– cells, based on CD4 expression. These CD4 disparate NKT1 cells markedly differed in their gene transcription profiles, surface phenotypes, and effector functions, revealing a CD4 coreceptor-associated divergence in iNKT cells. Moreover, CD4 expression was associated with enhanced TCR signaling in iNKT cells, such that CD4-deficiency heavily disturbed their generation and differentiation in the thymus. Collectively, these results reveal a previously unappreciated association between CD4 coreceptor expression and iNKT effector function, establishing CD4 as a functional marker in iNKT cell biology.

A comparison of the transcriptional profiles of invariant NKT cells derived from Wild type and Eomes conditional knockout mice

Project description:Functional subsets of iNKT cells, NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17, have been reported to arise during the thymus to peripheral differentiation stages. The key transcription factors for NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17 development in the thymus have been identified as T-bet, Gata3 and Rorγt, respectively. In contrast, these iNKT cell subsets can also undergo further differentiation in the periphery. Eomesodermin (Eomes) is a T-box transcription factor with high homology to T-bet and is expressed by activated CD8+ T cells as well as in resting and activated NK cells. However, its role in invariant (i)NKT cells remains unknown. Here, we show the impact of Eomes on iNKT cells in the thymus and peripheral tissue using conditional knockout (Eomes-cKO) mice. Eomes regulates the differentiation of NKT1 cells in the thymus. In the peripheral tissue, Klrg1+ iNKT1 cells are generated in lung after vaccination with -GalCer-pulsed DCs (DC/Gal) as memory like iNKT cells. In the current study, we found that Eomes also regulates their differentiation into memory-like KLRG1+iNKT cells in the periphery.

Altered thymic differentiation and modulation of arthritis by invariant NKT cells expressing mutant ZAP70 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Various subsets of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells with different cytokine productions develop in the mouse thymus, but the factors driving their differentiation remain unclear. Here we show that hypomorphic alleles of Zap70 or chemical inhibition of Zap70 catalysis lead to an increase of IFN-g-producing iNKT cells (NKT1 cells), suggesting NKT1 cells may require a lower TCR signal threshold. Zap70 mutant mice develop IL-17-dependent arthritis. iNKT cells and therapeutic induction of IFN-g secretion by activating iNKT cells are protective in this model, but the representation of IFNg versus IL-17 secreting iNKT cells in the joint change in favor of IL-17 producers as disease worsened. NKT1 cells are also present in the synovial fluid of arthritis patients, where they could be beneficial. Our data therefore suggest that TCR signal strength during thymic differentiation may influence not only IFNg production, but also the protective function of iNKT cells in arthritis.

Altered thymic NKT1 and NKT2 differentiation in murine haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with chronic GvHD

Project description:To investigate whether intermediate iNKT precursor cells were affected in GvHD mice along the differentiation journey toward mature effector cells, we performed scRNA-seq on thymic iNKT precursors from BMT mice with and without cGvHD and non-BMT mice. We identified Multiple early and late NKT1 precursor clusters and further explored the development of NKT1 under physiological as well as transplantation condition.

RNA-Seq on wild-type and Ezh2 knock-out invariant natural killer T cells and CD44hi CD4+ T cells

Project description:Several subsets of NKT cells have been identified, including IFNγ-producing NKT1 cells, IL-4-producing NKT2 cells and IL-17-producing NKT17 cells. We sought to determine to the effect of loss of the polycomb repressive complex 2 protein Ezh2 on gene expression in NKT cells and CD44high CD4+ T cells from mice. Transcriptional profiles of iNKT cells from wild-type (WT) and Ezh2 KO iNKT mice were determined.

Gene expression profiling of C2, C1 and C0 iNKT cell subset

Project description:We identified a novel subset of iNKT cells, C2 iNKT cells, that circulate in the periphery. Correspondingly, we characterized the tissue-resident iNKT cell subset, C1 iNKT cells. We also found the precursor of these two subsets of iNKT cells, C0 iNKT cells in thymus. The development and terminal maturation of C2 iNKT cells completely depended on the thymic epithelial IL-15 niche, whereas C1 iNKT cells were regulated also by local IL-15 niches in peripheral tissues. C2 iNKT cells expressed high levels of genes related to cytotoxicity and exhibited more NK cell-like features. Here we characterized the C2 iNKT cells, C1 iNKT cells, and C0 iNKT cells using RNA-seq. We also performed RNA-seq for CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and NK cells as a comparison. To investigate the effect of CD4, we performed the RNA-seq for the CD4+ and CD4- C2 iNKT cells.

Gpx4 regulates iNKT cell homeostasis and function by preventing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a group of innate like T cells that plays important roles in immune homeostasis and activation. We found that iNKT cells, compared to CD4+ T cells, have significantly higher levels of lipid peroxidation in both mice and humans. Proteomic analysis also demonstrated that iNKT cells express higher levels of Glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), a major antioxidant enzyme that reduces lipid peroxidation and prevents ferroptosis. T cell specific deletion of Gpx4 reduces iNKT cell population, most prominently the IFNg producing NKT1 subset. RNAseq analysis revealed IFNg signaling, cell cycle regulation, as well as mitochondrial function are perturbed by Gpx4 deletion in iNKT cells. Consistently, we detected impaired cytokine production, elevated cell proliferation and cell death, and accumulation of lipid peroxides and mitochondrial ROS in Gpx4 KO iNKT cells. Ferroptosis inhibitor, iron chelator, vitamin E and vitamin K2 can prevent ferroptosis induced by Gpx4 deficiency in iNKT cells and ameliorate the impaired function of iNKT cells due to Gpx4 inhibition. Lastly, vitamin E rescued iNKT cell population in Gpx4 KO mice. Altogether, our findings reveal the critical role of Gpx4 in regulating iNKT cell homeostasis and function, through controlling lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Cord-derived iNKT cells are enriched with human NKT10 and exert the immunosuppressive function through the interaction with NRP1 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique subset of T lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like molecule CD1d through a semi-invariant T cell antigen receptor. In mice, this receptor consists of the invariant Vα14Ja18 (TRAV11+TRAJ18+) chain paired with Vβ8, Vβ7, or Vβ2, while in humans, it comprises Vα24Ja18 (TRAV10+TRAJ18+) paired with Vβ11. Upon activation, iNKT cells modulate adaptive immunity by promoting either immune suppression or inflammation through the production of Th1- and Th2-type cytokines. They also enhance adaptive T and B cell responses via the CD40-CD40L feedback loop with antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs). iNKT cells exhibit phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, with subsets including CD4+ and CD4- populations, as well as functionally distinct NKT1 (Th1), NKT2 (Th2), NKT10 (Th10), and NKT17 (Th17) cells. The developmental pathways and immunological roles of murine iNKT cells are well characterized, highlighting their functional plasticity in immune modulation. The NKT10 subset, in particular, has been studied in various murine models and demonstrated a regulatory function within CD4+ iNKT cells. These cells are enriched in specific NKT10 signature markers, including IL-10, NRP1, and PD-1, which define their immunoregulatory properties. Despite these findings in mice, the phenotype and function of IL-10-producing human iNKT cells remain poorly characterized, and their regulatory role in human diseases is not well understood. Here, we aim to characterize human NKT10 cells derived from cord blood iNKT cells and explore their therapeutic potential in bone marrow transplantation.
