Description
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that orchestrate immune responses. The human DC population comprises two main functionally-specialized lineages, whose origins and differentiation pathways remain incompletely defined. Here we combine two high-dimensional technologies — single-cell mRNA sequencing and Cytometry by Time-of-Flight (CyTOF), to identify human blood CD123+CD33+CD45RA+ DC precursors (pre-DC). Pre-DC share surface markers with plasmacytoid DC (pDC) but have distinct functional properties that were previously attributed to pDC. Tracing the differentiation of DC from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood revealed that the pre-DC compartment contains distinct lineage-committed sub-populations including one early uncommitted CD123high pre-DC subset and two CD45RA+CD123low lineage-committed subsets exhibiting functional differences. The discovery of multiple committed pre-DC populations opens promising new avenues for the therapeutic exploitation of DC subset-specific targeting. Overall design: Single cell mRNA sequencing was used to investigate the transcriptomic relationships within the dendritic cell precursors within the peripheral blood.

Description
Whole transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) of a time kinetics experiment containing human monocyte-derived cells, which were activated with IL4 either directly at the start of the culture, or at different hours after an initial activation with GMCSF alone. Cells being activated solely with GMCSF were added as controls Overall design: CD14+ monocytes were FACS-sorted from blood of human healthy donors and later activated in vitro with either GMCSF alone for 72 hours to obtain Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (0h)] cells as controls, with the combination of GMCSF and IL4 for 72 hours or 144 hours to obtain Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (0-72h)] or Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (0-144h)] cells, respectively, or with first GMCSF and then with the combination of GMCSF and IL4 for different durations. For the latter, monocytes were first activated with GMCSF for either 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours, and then with GMCSF plus IL4 until a total activation time of 144 hours. This resulted in Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (12-144h)], Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (24-144h)] , Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (48-144h)] and Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (72-144h)] cells, respectively.

Whole transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) was performed on human Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (0-72h)] cells with either NCOR2 being knocked down or corresponding WT cells Overall design: CD14+ monocytes were FACS-sorted from blood of human healthy donors and later activated in vitro with the combination of GMCSF and IL4 for 72h to obtain Mo-GMCSF[IL4 (0-72h)] cells. During the last 24 hours of activation, either siRNAs targeting NCOR2 or scrambled RNAs were added to obtain NCOR2 knock down cells and corresponding WT cells, respectively

Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen sensing and presenting cells that are essential for effective immunity. Existing as a multi-subset population, divided by distinct developmental and functional characteristics1,2, DC subsets play important and unique roles in responses to pathogens, vaccines and cancer therapies, as well as during immune-pathologies. Therefore therapeutic manipulation of the DC compartment is an attractive strategy. However, our incomplete knowledge of the inter-relationship between DC subsets and how they develop from progenitors in the bone marrow (BM) has so far limited the realization of their therapeutic potential. DCs arise from a cascade of progenitors that gradually differentiate in the BM; first, the macrophage DC progenitor (MDP), then common DC progenitor (CDP), and lastly the Pre-DC, which will leave the BM to seed peripheral tissues before differentiating into mature DCs3,4. While the basic outline of this process is known, how subset commitment and development is regulated at the molecular level remains poorly understood. Here we reveal that the Pre-DC population in mice is heterogeneous, containing uncommitted Ly6c+/-Siglec-H+ cells as well as Ly6c+Siglec-H- and Ly6c-Siglec-H- sub-populations that are developmentally fated to become Th2/17-inducing CD11b+ DCs and Th1-inducing CD8a+ DCs, respectively. Using single cell analysis by microfluidic RNA sequencing, we found that DC subset imprinting occurred at the mRNA level from the CDP stage, revealing that subset fate is defined in the BM and not in peripheral tissues. Single cell transcriptome analysis allowed identification of the molecular checkpoints between progenitor stages and revealed new regulators of DC-poiesis, shedding light on the role of cell cycle control and specific transcription factors in DC lineage development. These data advance our knowledge of the steady-state regulation of DC populations and open promising new avenues for investigation of the therapeutic potential of DC subset-specific targeting in vivo to improve vaccine-based and immunotherapeutic strategies. Overall design: Single cell mRNA sequencing was used to investigate the transcriptomic relationships within the Dendritic cell precursor compartment within the BM as well as between single Dendritic cell precursors

Description
Calcineurin/NFAT/IL-2 signaling pathway is activated in dendritic cells (DC) upon encounter of glucan, the main component of the fungal cell wall, raising the question about the role of NFAT-regulated genes in DC biology in vivo. To directly assess the function of IL-2 secreted by DC, we analyzed mice lacking of IL-2 in the DC lineage, CD4-expressing cells and with complete deletion of IL-2 in the germ line in a mouse model of pulmonary fungal infection. Here we found that specifically the loss of IL-2 in DC resulted in increased mice mortality upon the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus challenge and expansion of Th17 cells in the lung. We demonstrated that only CD103+DC were able to release IL-2 in acute phase of pulmonary Aspergillosis through the Ca2+-Calcineurin-NFAT signaling. We also found that NFAT mediates IL-23 transcription in lung DC, where IL-2 results essential in restraining the priming of a pathogenic infiltrating IL-17+Sca1+CD90+CD4+ cell with stem cell like properties. Thus, IL-2 and IL-23 secreted by DC in the lung have an antagonistic relationship on the Th17 differentiation program with IL-2 inducing T cell differentiation and IL-23 inducing a stem cell like molecular signature to Th17 cells upon Aspergillus challenge. DC-Il2-/- then confer the Th17 stemness, releasing IL-23 in response to the fungus contributing to the development of a Th17 cell effector population, particularly pathogenic in infection.
