Project description:Intestinal regulatory T cells (Tregs) are fundamental in peripheral tolerance toward commensals and food-borne antigens. Accordingly, gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) represent a site of efficient peripheral de novo Treg induction when compared to skin-draining peripheral LNs (pLNs), and we had recently shown that LN stromal cells substantially contribute to this process. Here, we aimed to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and generated immortalized fibroblastic reticular cell lines (iFRCs) from mLNs and pLNs, allowing unlimited investigation of this rare stromal cell subset. In line with our previous findings, mLN-iFRCs showed a higher Treg-inducing capacity when compared to pLN-iFRCs. RNA-seq analysis focusing on secreted molecules revealed a more tolerogenic phenotype of mLN- as compared to pLN-iFRCs. Remarkably, mLN-iFRCs produced substantial numbers of microvesicles (MVs) that carried elevated levels of TGF-β when compared to pLN-iFRC-derived MVs, and these novel players of intercellular communication were shown to be responsible for the tolerogenic properties of mLN-iFRCs. Thus, stromal cells originating from mLNs contribute to peripheral tolerance by fostering de novo Treg induction using TGF-β-carrying MVs. This finding provides novel insights into the subcellular/molecular mechanisms of de novo Treg induction and might serve as promising tool for future therapeutic applications to treat inflammatory disorders.

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) play a key role in peripheral tolerance towards food and commensal antigens by providing an optimal microenvironment for efficient de novo induction of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). We recently identified mLN stromal cells as critical cellular players in this process and demonstrated that their tolerogenic properties are imprinted by microbiota. Here, we show that this imprinting process already takes place in the neonatal phase and renders the mLN stromal cell compartment resistant to inflammatory perturbations later in life. Utilizing LN transplantation, RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq allowed identification of stably imprinted expression signatures in mLN fibroblastic stromal cells. We dissected common stromal cell subsets across gut-draining mLNs and skin-draining LNs with location-specific immunomodulatory functions, such as subset-specific expression of Aldh1a2/3. Accordingly, mLN stromal cells shaped resident dendritic cells to attain high Treg-inducing capacity in a Bmp2-dependent manner. Thus, crosstalk between mLN stromal and resident dendritic cells provides a robust feedback mechanism for the maintenance of intestinal tolerance.

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) provide the framework and microenvironment to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in composition and immuno-modulatory function of SCs. Here, we dissect the tissue-specific epigenomic DNA accessibility and CpG methylation landscape of LN non-endothelial SCs and identify a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature of LN SCs. By combined analysis of transcription factor (TF) binding sites together with the gene expression profiles of non-endothelial SCs, we delineated TFs poising skin-draining peripheral LN (pLN) SCs for pro-inflammatory responses. Furthermore, using scRNA-seq, we dissected the developmental trajectory of mLN SCs derived from postnatal to aged mice, identifying two distinct putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid postnatal LN expansion. Finally, we identified Irf3 as a key differentiation TF inferred from the epigenomic signature of mLN SCs that is dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs, and validated Irf3 as a regulator of Cxcl9+ FRC differentiation. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of mLN development and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of mLN non-endothelial SCs. As such, our findings represent a valuable resource to identify core transcriptional regulators that impinge on the developing mLN early in life, thereby shaping long-lasting intestinal adaptive immune responses.
