Project description:Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies elucidated gene regulatory networks and TCR signaling molecules underlying functional differentiation into γδ1 and γδ17 cells that now provide valid resources to define developing CD24+ γδ, γδ1 and γδ17 cells. The γδ1 cell subsets express key transcription factors of cytotoxicity and IFNγ-production, such as Tbx21 (encoding T-bet) and Eomes, as well as natural killer receptor (NKRs). Development of γδ17 cells is favorable in the early life period, regulated by Notch signaling and a network of transcriptional regulators including cMaf, Sox13, Blk, and Rorc that are essential for functional differentiation. However, detailed knowledge about molecular programs of Vγ4 cells, including their potential to become γδ1 or γδ17 cells during adult thymus development, is lacking. Here we employed transcriptional and epigenetic analysis of Vγ4 cells under steady-state conditions and after induction of de novo T cell development from adult thymus precursor cells.

Project description:T cell receptor (TCR) Vγ4+expressing γδT cells can be divided into IFN-γ and IL-17-producing effector T cell subsets. A bias towards γδ17 effector fate decisions is observed during early ontogeny. In contrast, the existence of Vγ4+γδ17 cells derived from adult thymus is still controversial. In the present work, we used a mouse model where T cells are exclusive generated within an adult thymus. Additionally, we employed single-cell chromatin state analysis from thymocytes of normal mice. A small, but considerable population of immatureCd24+Gzma+Vγ4 cells was found that exhibit molecular programs of γδ17 cells. These adult thymus-derived immatureCd24a+cMaf+Vγ4 cells secrete small amounts of IL-17A and IL-17F. Interestingly, do not reach the periphery under steady-state conditions. Furthermore,de novogenerated γδ17-like cells from adult thymus lack transcriptional activity of the Scart2 encoding gene, suggesting that Scart2 is a distinct trait of fetal γδT cell precursors. Together, this study provides valuable insights into developmental traits of Vγ4 cells during adulthood and raises the question on signals suppressing the full maturation and/or thymic export of γδ17-like cells within the adult thymus.

Project description:During thymic development, most γδ T cells acquire innate-like characteristics that are critical for their function in tumor surveillance, infectious disease, and tissue repair. The mechanisms, however, that regulate γδ T cell developmental programming remain unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that the SLAM-SAP signaling pathway regulates the development and function of multiple innate-like γδ T cell subsets. Here, we used a single-cell proteogenomics approach to identify SAP-dependent developmental checkpoints and to define the SAP-dependent γδ TCR repertoire. SAP deficiency resulted in both a significant loss of an immatureGzma+Blk+Etv5+Tox2+γδT17 precursor population, and a significant increase inCd4+Cd8+Rorc+Ptcra+Rag1+thymic γδ T cells. SAP-dependent diversion of embryonic day 17 thymic γδ T cell clonotypes into the αβ T cell developmental pathway was associated with a decreased frequency of mature clonotypes in neonatal thymus, and an altered γδ TCR repertoire in the periphery. Finally, we identify TRGV4/TRAV13-4(DV7)-expressing T cells as a novel, SAP-dependent Vγ4 γδT1 subset. Together, the data suggest that SAP-dependent γδ/αβ T cell lineage commitment regulates γδ T cell developmental programming and shapes the γδ TCR repertoire.

Project description:In the mouse thymus, invariant γδ T cells are generated at well-defined times during development and acquire effector functions before exiting the thymus. However, whether such thymic programming can occur in human is not known. Here we analyzed human fetal and post-natal γδ thymocytes and investigated the role of hematopoietic-stem-and-precursor-cells (HSPC) in the generation of human γδ T cells. Unlike post-natal γδ thymocytes, fetal γδ thymocytes were functionally programmed (e.g. IFNγ, granzymes), expressed low levels of terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase (TdT) and were highly enriched for invariant/public germline-encoded CDR3 sequences (TRGV8-TRJP1-CATWDTTGWFKIF, TRDV2-TRDD3-CACDTGGY and TRDV1-TRDD3-CALGELGD, previously shown to be expanded in cytomegalovirus infection) composed of short-homology-repeat-containing gene segments. Furthermore, these unique characteristics were due to an intrinsic property of fetal HSPC caused by high expression of the RNA-binding protein Lin28b. In conclusion, our data indicate that the human fetal thymus generates, in a HSPC/Lin28b-dependent manner, invariant γδ T cells with programmed effector functions.

Project description:TCR γ chain loci of mice have seven variable (Vγ) gene segments (Vγ1, Vγ2, Vγ3, Vγ4, Vγ5, Vγ6, and Vγ7) using the Heilig and Tonegawa nomenclature. Vγ6+ γδ T cells, which develop in the thymus at the perinatal stage, are distributed within the mucosal tissues in the periphery. Vγ6+ γδ T cells are exclusive interleukin (IL)-17 producers among γδ T cells, and Vγ6+ IL-17A+ γδ T (γδT17) cells play important roles in protection against microbial infection and in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as colitis and autoimmune diseases. We have previously reported that γδT17 cells develop from the CD4–CD8– (DN)2b stage in the thymus at the prenatal stage in a Bcl11b-dependent manner. However, details of the development of Vγ6+ γδT17 cells remain obscure. To analyze Vγ6+ γδ T cells in detail, we recently developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb; termed 1C10-1F7) specific to mouse Vg6 chain. Use of this mAb revealed that Vγ6+ γδ T cells in 0-day-old thymus were co-localized with medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), which regulate T cell tolerance by self-antigen presentation using major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II. Here, we report that MHC class II in the thymus inhibits the generation of Vγ6+ γδT17 cells.

Project description:Until now, the systematic and comprehensive deciphering of γδ T heterogeneity and the extrathymic developmental pathway of liver γδ T cells remains largely unsolved. In this study, we performed single cell RNA sequencing to comprehensively identify the heterogeneity of γδ T cells from murine liver and thymus. We further revealed the developmental trajectory of γδ T cells and found that liver contains γδ T precursors.

Project description:The murine thymus produces discrete γδ T cell subsets making either IFN-γ or IL-17, but the role of the TCR in this developmental process remains controversial. Here we generated a non-transgenic and polyclonal model of reduced TCR expression and signal strength selectively on γδ T cells. Mice haploinsufficient for both CD3γ and CD3δ (CD3DH) showed normal αβ thymocyte subsets but specific defects in γδ T cell development, namely impaired differentiation of IL-17-producing embryonic Vγ6+ (but not adult Vγ4+) γδ T cells and a marked depletion of IFN-γ-producing CD122+ NK1.1+ (Vγ1-biased) γδ T cells throughout life. As result, adult CD3DH mice showed defective peripheral IFN-γ responses and were resistant to experimental cerebral malaria. Thus, strong TCR signaling is required within specific developmental windows with distinct Vγ usage and differential cytokine production by effector γδ T cell subsets.

Project description:Developmental thymic waves of innate-like and adaptive-like gd T cells have been described, but the current understanding of γδ T cell development is mainly limited to mouse models. Here, we combined single cell (sc) RNA gene expression and sc γδ T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing on fetal and pediatric γδ thymocytes in order to understand the ontogeny of human γδ T cells. Mature fetal γδ thymocytes were committed to either a type 1, a type 3 or type 2-like effector fate, independent from γδ T cell subset type (Vγ9Vδ2 vs nonVγ9Vδ2), and were enriched for public CDR3 features upon maturation. Strikingly, type 1, type 3 and type 2 cells expressed different CDR3 sequences and followed distinct developmental trajectories. In contrast, the pediatric thymus generated only a small effector subset that was highly biased towards Vγ9Vδ2 TCR usage and showed a mixed type 1/type 3 effector profile. Thus, our combined dataset of gene expression and detailed TCR information at the single-cell level defines γδ thymocyte development in human and provides a resource for further study.

Project description:Thymocyte differentiation is a complex process which involves well-defined sequential developmental stages that finally result in the generation of mature αβ and γδ T cells. Here, we analyzed DNA methylation and gene expression profiles at successive human thymus developmental stages from early T-cell progenitors to single positive (SP) CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations
