The subcellular mechanism for cDC maturation remains poorly defined. We show that cDCs mature by leveraging an internal reservoir of cholesterol (harnessed from extracellular cell debris and generated by de novo synthesis) to assemble lipid nanodomains on cell surfaces of maturing cDCs, enhance expression of maturation markers and stabilize immune receptor signaling. This process is dependent on cholesterol transport through Niemann–Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) and mediates homeostatic and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced maturation. Importantly, we identified the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL as a regulator of the NPC1-dependent construction of lipid nanodomains. Deleting AXL from cDCs enhances their maturation, thus improving anti-tumor immunity. Altogether, our study presents new insights into cholesterol mobilization as a fundamental basis for cDC maturation and highlights AXL as a therapeutic target for modulating cDCs. To mature, dendritic cells collect and synthesize cholesterol to construct lipid nanodomains on their membranes. Obstructing this process impairs their ability to prime T cells.","PeriodicalId":19032,"journal":{"name":"Nature Immunology","volume":"26 2","pages":"188-199"},"PeriodicalIF":27.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on nasopharyngeal swabs from vaccinated and unvaccinated adults with acute Delta and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infections and integrated with data from acute infections with ancestral SARS-CoV-2. Patients with Delta and Omicron exhibited greater similarity in nasal cell composition driven by myeloid, T cell and SARS-CoV-2hi cell subsets, which was distinct from that of ancestral cases. Delta-infected samples had a marked increase in viral RNA, and a subset of PER2+EGR1+GDF15+ epithelial cells was enriched in SARS-CoV-2 RNA+ cells in all variants. Prior vaccination was associated with increased frequency and activation of nasal macrophages. Expression of interferon-stimulated genes negatively correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity in patients with ancestral and Delta but not Omicron variants. Our study defines nasal cell responses and signatures of disease severity across SARS-CoV-2 variants and vaccination.

FOXP3 and GZMB respectively encode proteins FOXP3 and granzyme B, which are critical to the suppressive functions of CD4+ and CD8+ regulatory T cells. Using CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing, we were able to achieve a reduction of ~90–95% in the expression of these genes. FOXP3 knockout in tonsil T cells led to production of antibodies against a variety of autoantigens and increased the affinity of influenza-specific antibodies. By contrast, GZMB knockout resulted in an increase in follicular helper T cells, consistent with the ablation of CD8+ regulatory T cells observed in mouse models, and a marked expansion of autoreactive CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. These findings highlight the distinct yet complementary roles of CD8+ and CD4+ regulatory T cells in regulating cellular and humoral responses to prevent autoimmunity. Here the authors use a tonsil organoid culture model system to investigate the roles of human CD4+ and CD8+ regulatory T cells in controlling self-reactive immune responses. CD4+ regulatory T cells were stronger regulators of autoreactive B cells, autoantibodies and antigen-specific antibody affinity, whereas CD8+ regulatory T cells predominantly controlled expansion of follicular helper cells and autoreactive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.","PeriodicalId":19032,"journal":{"name":"Nature Immunology","volume":"26 2","pages":"230-239"},"PeriodicalIF":27.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-024-02062-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
