Gene expression profiling of WT or Dicer KO iNKT cells and T cells

ABSTRACT: iNKT cells are a T lymphocyte subset displaying an innate effector phenotype that is acquired through a thymic developmental program controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs). iNKT cells lacking all miRNAs by the deletion of Dicer (Dicer KO) are markedly reduced and display a complete maturation block. In this study, we sought to gain insight into the miRNA-regulated genetic program required for iNKT cell development. By systemic analysis, we identified transcripts differentially expressed between thymic WT or Dicer KO iNKT cells and targeted by the iNKT cell-specific miRNAs. TGF-βRII, a molecule critically implicated in iNKT cell maturation, was found upregulated in Dicer KO iNKT cells together with increased TGF-β-dependent signaling. miRNAs belonging to the paralog miR-106a~363, miR-106b~25 and miR-17~92 clusters were predicted to target TGF-βRII mRNA during iNKT cell development. Thymic iNKT cells lacking all three miRNA clusters displayed both increased TGF-βRII expression and signaling and a maturation block, recapitulating those found in Dicer KO iNKT cells. Consistently, inhibition of TGF-β-dependent signaling in the absence of miRNAs, by crossing TGF-βRII KO and Dicer KO mice, rescued iNKT cell maturation. Collectively, our results highlight a fundamental requirement of the modulation of TGF-β-dependent signaling by miRNAs for iNKT cell development

KLF13 regulate memory-like CD8 T cells

Project description:“Memory-like T cells” are a subset of thymic cells that acquire effector function through the maturation process rather than interaction with specific antigen. Disruption of genes encoding T cell signaling proteins or transcription factors have provided insights into the differentiation of such cells. We show here that in BALB/c but not C57BL/6 mice, a large portion of thymic CD4-CD8+ T cells exhibit a memory-like phenotype. In BALB/c mice, IL-4 secreted by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells is both essential and sufficient for the generation of memory-like T cells. In C57BL/6 mice, iNKT cells are less abundant, producing IL-4 that is insufficient to induce thymic memory-like CD8+ T cells. BALB/c mice deficient in the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor (KLF) 13 have comparable numbers of iNKT cells to C57BL/6 mice and extremely low levels of thymic memory-like CD8+ T cells. This work documents the dramatic impact of a small number of KLF13-dependent iNKT cells. FACS-sorted naive splenic CD8 T cells from wild type and KLF13 ko mice were compared.

Cellular Mechanisms of Fatal Early-Onset Autoimmunity in Mice with the T Cell-Specific Targeting of TGFβ Receptor

Project description:Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has been implicated in the control of differentiation and proliferation of multiple cell types. However, a role for TGF-β in the control of immune homeostasis is not fully understood because of its pleiotropic action. Here we report that complete ablation of the TGF-β signaling in T cells engendered aggressive early-onset, multiorgan, autoimmune-associated lesions with 100% mortality. Peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with TGF-β-receptor II (TGF-βRII) deficiency activated cytolytic and T helper 1 (Th1) differentiation program in a cell-intrinsic T cell receptor (TCR)-specific fashion. Furthermore, TGF-βRII deficiency blocked the development of canonical CD1d-restricted NKT cells. Instead, it facilitated generation of a highly pathogenic T cell subset exhibiting multiple hallmarks of NK cells and sharply elevated amounts of FasL, perforin, granzymes, and interferon-γ. Thus, TGF-β signaling in peripheral T cells is crucial in restraining TCR activation-dependent Th1, cytotoxic, and NK cell-like differentiation program which, when left unchecked, leads to rapidly progressing fatal autoimmunity.

iNKT cells RNA-Seq (WT vs SFR KO)

Project description:RNA transcriptome difference between WT and SFR KO iNKT cells To understand how SLAM family receptors (SFRs) contribute to iNKT cell development, a mouse lacking all SFRs in addition to the ligand of 2B4, CD48, was generated, and the transcriptional profiles of thymic iNKT cells from wild-type and SFR KO mice were compared, using RNA sequencing.

Essential functions for ID proteins at multiple checkpoints in natural killer T cell development

Project description:Thymic iNKT cell development is divided into four stages (stage 0-3) that are characterised, in C57BL/6 mouse strain, by the differential expression of surface markers, such as CD24, CD44 and NK1.1. During transition from immature to mature iNKT cell subsets, gene expression is tightly regulated. Here, we used microarray analysis to detail the influence of the transcriptional regulator ID3 during iNKT cell maturation in the thymus. Stage 1 (Tet+CD24-CD44-NK1.1-) and Stage 2 (Tet+CD24-CD44+NK1.1-) iNKT cells from WT and Id3KO thymi were FACS sorted for RNA extraction and Affymetrix hybridisation.

A novel miRNA processing pathway independent of Dicer requires Argonaute2 catalytic activity

Project description:Here we identify a Dicer-independent miRNA biogenesis pathway that employs the slicer catalytic activity of Argonaute2 (Ago2). To uncover Dicer-independent miRNAs, we sequenced small RNAs in wild type, maternal-zygotic dicer (MZdicer) and MZago2 mutants, using zebrafish as a model system. We find that, in contrast to other miRNAs, miR-451 levels were increased in MZdicer but drastically reduced in the MZago2 mutants. We show that pre-miR-451 processing requires Ago2 catalytic activity in vivo. MZago2 mutant embryos display delayed erythrocyte maturation that can be rescued by wild type Ago2 or miR-451 duplex but not catalytically dead Ago2. We propose that Ago2-mediated cleavage of a subset of pre-miRNAs, followed by uridylation and trimming, generates functional miRNAs in a Dicer-independent manner.

Single-cell Transcriptomics Reveal Different Maturation Stages and Sublineages Commitment of Human Thymic Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a rare but heterogenous T-cell subset with potent cytotoxic and immunomodulatory properties. During thymic development, murine iNKT cells go through different maturation stages and differentiate into distinct sublineages, namely iNKT1, iNKT2, and iNKT17 cells. Recent reports indicate that iNKT2 cells display immature properties and also give rise to other subsets, whereas iNKT1 cells seem to be terminally differentiated. Whether human iNKT cells follow a similar differentiation model is still unknown. To define the maturation stages and to assess the sublineage commitment of human iNKT cells during thymic development, in the present study we performed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on human iNKT cells isolated from thymocytes. We show that human iNKT cells displayed heterogeneity and our unsupervised analysis identified two clusters: a first cluster expressed an immature profile with high expression of genes that are important for iNKT cell development and proliferation, whereas a second cluster displayed a mature, terminally differentiated profile. Trajectory analysis suggested an ontological relationship between the two clusters. Evaluation of the expression of sublineage-defining gene sets revealed that the first cluster contained mainly cells with an iNKT2 signature, whereas the more differentiated one contained cells that resembled murine iNKT1 cells. Our data point to the existence of different maturation stages of human thymic iNKT cells and provide evidence for sublineage commitment of iNKT cells in the human thymus.

In vivo structure-function analysis of human Dicer reveals directional processing of precursor miRNAs

Project description:Dicer is an RNase III-family endoribonuclease and haploinsufficient tumor suppressor that is required for the biogenesis of miRNAs, yet in vivo structure-function characterization of its RNase IIIA and IIIB domains have not been reported. In murine Dicer knockout fibroblasts, we expressed human Dicer with point mutations in the RNase III, helicase, and PAZ domains and characterized miRNA expression by Northern blot and massively parallel sequencing of small RNAs. Inactivation of the RNase IIIA or IIIB domain blocked maturation of miRNAs derived from the 3’ or 5’ arms of miRNA precursors, respectively, and resulted in altered miRNA expression profiles. Small RNAs from murine mesenchymal stem cells (MScs) with and without Dicer (WT:Dicer f/f, KO:Dicer -/-, KO transfected with various hsDicer point mutants) were analyzed.

Re-evaluation of the roles of DROSHA, Exportin 5, and DICER in microRNA biogenesis

Project description:Biogenesis of canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) involves multiple steps: nuclear processing of primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) by DROSHA, nuclear export of precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) by Exportin 5 (XPO5), and cytoplasmic processing of pre-miRNA by DICER. To gain a deeper understanding of the contribution of each of these maturation steps, we deleted DROSHA, XPO5, and DICER in the same human cell line, and analyzed their effects on miRNA biogenesis. Canonical miRNA production was completely abolished in DROSHA-deleted cells while we detected a few DROSHA-independent miRNAs including three previously unidentified noncanonical miRNAs (miR-7706, miR-3615, and miR-1254). In contrast to DROSHA knockout, many canonical miRNAs were still detected without DICER albeit at markedly reduced levels. In the absence of DICER, pre-miRNAs are loaded directly onto AGO and trimmed at the 3′ end, yielding miRNAs from the 5′ strand (5p miRNAs). Interestingly, in XPO5 knockout cells, most miRNAs are affected only modestly, suggesting that XPO5 is necessary but not critical for miRNA maturation. Our study demonstrates an essential role of DROSHA and an important contribution of DICER in the canonical miRNA pathway, and reveals that the function of XPO5 can be complemented by alternative mechanisms. Thus, this study allows us to understand differential contributions of key biogenesis factors, and provides with valuable resources for miRNA research.

Two independent sequencing experiments (set 1 and set 2, respectively) were performed using 9 samples.
