IFNβ expression is restricted to a subpopulation of splenic pDCs exhibiting a specific immune modulatory transcriptome signature

ABSTRACT: Type I IFNs are critical in initiating protective antiviral immune responses and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) represent a major source of these cytokines. Here we show that only few pDCs are capable to produce IFNβ after virus infection or CpG stimulation. Utilizing IFNβ/YFP reporter mice, we identify these IFNβ-producing cells in the spleen as a CCR9+CD9- pDC subset exclusively localized within the T/B cell zones. IFNβ-producing pDCs exhibit a distinct transcriptome profile with higher expression of genes encoding cytokines and chemokines, facilitating T cell recruitment and activation. These distinctive characteristics of IFNβ-producing pDCs are independent of the type I IFN receptor mediated feedback loop. Furthermore, IFNβ-producing pDCs exhibit enhanced CCR7-dependent migratory properties in vitro and in a peritoneal inflammation model they effectively recruit T cells in vivo. We define “professional type I IFN-producing cells” as a distinct subset of pDCs specialized in coordinating cellular immune responses.

IFN? expression is restricted to a subpopulation of splenic pDCs exhibiting a specific immune modulatory transcriptome signature

Project description:Type I IFNs are critical in initiating protective antiviral immune responses and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) represent a major source of these cytokines. Here we show that only few pDCs are capable to produce IFN? after virus infection or CpG stimulation. Utilizing IFN?/YFP reporter mice, we identify these IFN?-producing cells in the spleen as a CCR9+CD9- pDC subset exclusively localized within the T/B cell zones. IFN?-producing pDCs exhibit a distinct transcriptome profile with higher expression of genes encoding cytokines and chemokines, facilitating T cell recruitment and activation. These distinctive characteristics of IFN?-producing pDCs are independent of the type I IFN receptor mediated feedback loop. Furthermore, IFN?-producing pDCs exhibit enhanced CCR7-dependent migratory properties in vitro and in a peritoneal inflammation model they effectively recruit T cells in vivo. We define “professional type I IFN-producing cells” as a distinct subset of pDCs specialized in coordinating cellular immune responses. IFN? associated gene expression in ex vivo sorted IFN?/YFPpos vs. IFN?/YFPneg splenic pDCs was measured at 6 hr after i.v. injection of CpG 1668 complexed to DOTAP. Two independent experiments were performed using pooled samples of at least 12 mice per experiment.

Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Regulates TLR9 but not TLR7 Signaling in Human pDCs

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) can be activated by the endosomal TLRs, and contribute to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by producing type I IFNs. Thus, blocking TLR-mediated pDC activation may represent a useful approach for the treatment of SLE. In an attempt to identify a therapeutic target for blocking TLR signaling in pDCs, we investigated the contribution of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) to the activation of pDCs by TLR7 and TLR9 stimulation by using a selective Btk inhibitor RN486. Stimulation of TLR7 and 9 with their respective agonist, namely, gardiquimod and type A CpG ODN2216, resulted in the activation of human pDCs, as demonstrated by the expression of activation markers (CD69, CD40, and CD86), elevated production of IFN-alpha and other inflammatory cytokines, as well as up-regulation of numerous genes including IFN-alpha-inducible genes and activation of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) and NF-kB. RN486 inhibited all of these events induced by TLR9, but not TLR7 stimulation, with a nanomolar potency for inhibiting type A CpG ODN2216-mediated production of cytokines (e.g., IC50=386 nM for inhibiting IFN-alpha). Our data reveal Btk as an important regulatory enzyme in the TLR9 pathway, and a potential therapeutic target for SLE and other TLR-driven diseases. pDCs from healthy donors (n=4) were treated with gardiquimod (TLR7 agonist) or ODN 2216 (TLR9 agonist) with or without BTK inhibitor for 3 hours.

Tissue-specific differentiation of a circulating CCR9- pDC-like common dendritic cell precursor

Project description:Committed precursors of conventional dendritic cells (pre-cDCs) derived from the common DC progenitor which differentiate into cDC subpopulations in peripheral tissues have been identified, but committed precursors for plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) have not been found. Here we show that CDP-derived ‘CCR9- MHCIIlow BST2+ Siglec-H+ pDCs from murine bone marrow which enter the circulation and peripheral tissues have a common DC precursor function in vivo in the steady state. Upon adoptive transfer the fate of CCR9- pDC-like precursors is governed by the tissues they enter. In the bone marrow and liver most transferred CCR9- pDC-like precursors differentiate into CCR9+ pDCs, whereas in peripheral lymphoid organs, lung and intestine they can give rise to CCR9+ pDCs and cDCs. Thus, CCR9- pDC-like cells are novel CDP-derived circulating DC precursors with pDC and cDC potential, whose final differentiation depends on tissue-specific factors allowing adaptation to local requirements. Total RNA obtained from CCR9- pDC-like common DC progenitors and CCR9+ pDCs was compared for differential gene expression. 3 independent isolations were performed for the 2 samples. 6 arrays were run in total.

Expression data from 5 IFN type I-derived Dendritic Cells

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN) is a family of 15 cytokines (in human 13α, 1β,1ω) which exert several cellular functions through the binding to a common receptor. Despite the initial activation of the same Jak/Stat signalling pathway, the cellular response may be different depending on the type I IFN subtype. We investigated the activity of different type I IFN subtypes - IFNα1, α2, α8, α21, ω and β- on the differentiation of DC. Transcriptome analyses identified two distinct groups, the IFNα/ω-DC and the IFNβ-DC. 78 genes, 7 chemokines and expression levels of cell surface markers characteristic of DC distinguished IFNα-DC and IFNβ-DC. These differences are unlikely to impact the efficacy of T cell functional response since IFNα2-DC and IFNβ-DC were equipotent in inducing the proliferation and the polarization of allogenic naïve CD4 T cells into Th1 cells and in stimulating autologous memory CD4 or CD8 T cells. In contrast, IFNα2-DC were found to be more efficient than IFNβ-DC in the phagocytic uptake of dead cells. Human blood monocytes were differentiated in DC by using 5 differents IFN type I (IFNα2, α1, α8, α21 and β). After 3 days of differentiation RNA were extracted and analyzed by affymetrix microarray.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cell heterogeneity is defined by CXCL10 expression following TLR7 stimulation

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play a critical role in bridging the innate and adaptive immune systems. pDCs are specialized type I interferon (IFN) producers, which has implicated them as initiators of autoimmune pathogenesis. However, little is known about the down-stream effectors of type I IFN signaling that amplify autoimmune responses. Here we have used a chemokine reporter mouse to determine the CXCR3 ligand responses in DCs subsets. Following TLR7 stimulation conventional type 1 and type 2 DCs (cDC1 and cDC2 respectively) uniformly upregulate CXCL10. By contrast, the proportion of chemokine positive pDCs was significantly less, and stable CXCL10+ and CXCL10 - populations could be distinguished. CXCL9 expression was induced in all cDC1s, in half of the cDC2 but not by pDCs. In all DC subsets, type I IFNs were the main inducer of CXCR3 chemokines, as IFNAR receptor blocking or deficiency completely abrogated reporter expression. Chemoki ne producing potential was not concordant with the previously identified markers of pDC heterogeneity. Finally, we show that CXCL10+ and CXCL10 - populations are transcriptionally distinct, expressing unique transcriptional regulators, IFN signaling molecules, chemokines, cytokines and cell surface markers. This work highlights CXCL10 as a downstream effector of type I IFN signaling and suggests a division of labor in pDCs subtypes that likely impacts their function as effectors of viral responses and as drivers of inflammation.

Proteomic and single-cell transcriptomic dissection of human plasmacytoid dendritic cell response to influenza virus

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells [pDCs] represent a rare innate immune subset uniquely endowed with the capacity to produce substantial amounts of type-I interferons [IFN-I]. This function of pDCs is critical for effective antiviral defenses and has been implicated in autoimmunity. While IFN-I and select cytokines have been recognized as pDC secreted products, a comprehensive agnostic profiling of the pDC secretome in response to a physiologic stimulus has not been reported. We applied LC-MS/MS to catalogue the repertoire of proteins secreted by pDCs in response to challenge with live influenza H1N1. Additionally, using single-cell RNA-seq [scRNA-seq], we perform multidimensional analyses of pDC transcriptional diversification following stimulation. Our data reveal an abundance of protein species released by pDCs in addition to IFN-I, and evidence highly specialized roles within the pDC population ranging from dedicated cytokine super-producers to cells with APC-like functions. Moreover, dynamic expression of transcription factors and surface markers characterize activated pDC fates.

The regulation and pharmacological modulation of immune complex induced type III IFN production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells [microarray]

Project description:Objective: Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) have an ongoing interferon (IFN) production due to an activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which can be triggered to type I IFN synthesis by RNA containing immune complexes (RNA-IC). Considering emerging data suggesting a role of type III interferon (IFN) in the SLE disease process, we asked if RNA-IC can induce type III IFN production in pDC, and how this production can be regulated. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or immune cell subsets were isolated from healthy blood donors or SLE patients and stimulated with IC containing U1 snRNP and SLE-IgG (RNA-IC). Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and an interleukin receptor 1 associated kinase 4 inhibitor (IRAK4i) were added to cell cultures. Cytokine mRNA levels were determined with a microarray and protein levels with immunoassays. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of pDCs using ddSEQ technology was performed. Results: Type III IFN mRNA and protein was induced in RNA-IC stimulated pDC-NK and pDC-B cell co-cultures. A subset of activated pDCs (3%) expressed both type III and type I IFN mRNA. IFN-λ2, IFN-α2b, interleukin (IL)-3, IL-6 or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) enhanced IFN-λ1/3 production 2-5-fold. HCQ and an IRAK4i blocked the RNA-IC-triggered IFN-λ1/3 production (p<0.01). IFN-α2b and GM-CSF increased the proportion of SLE patients producing IFN-λ1/3 in response to RNA-IC from 11 to 33%. Conclusions: Type III IFN production is triggered by RNA-IC in pDCs in a TLR-MyD88-dependent manner, enhanced by NK and B cells as well as several pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results support a contributing role for both type I and type III IFNs in SLE, which needs to be considered when targeting the IFN system in this disease.

Single-cell analysis reveals stochastic regulation of type I IFN production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells and identifies host-derived environmental cues as amplifier of type I IFN production

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN) is a key driver of immunity to infections and cancer. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are uniquely equipped to produce large quantities of type I IFN but the mech-anisms that control this process are poorly understood. Here, we developed a droplet-based microfluidic platform and investigated type I IFN production in human pDCs at the single-cell level. We show that type I IFN but not TNF alpha production is limited to a small subpopulation of individually stimulated pDCs and controlled by stochastic gene regulation. Combining single-cell cytokine analysis with single-cell RNA-seq profiling reveals no evidence for a pre-existing subset of type I IFN-producing pDCs. Intriguingly, by modulating the droplet microenvironment, we demonstrate that vigorous pDC population responses are driven by a type I IFN amplification loop. Our study highlights the significance of stochastic gene regulation and suggests strategies to dissect the characteristics of immune responses at the single-cell level.
