中文摘要

恒定自然杀伤T(iNKT)细胞是进化上保守的先天淋巴细胞,对抵御病原体、恶性肿瘤和移植物抗宿主病具有重要作用,并具有作为通用供体细胞疗法的潜力。虽然小鼠研究揭示了转录和功能上不同的亚群,但对人类iNKT细胞异质性的全面理解仍然有限。在此,我们描绘了来自多个免疫相关血液组织的人类iNKT细胞的转录组多样性。人类iNKT细胞表达naive/前体、过渡型和T辅助(Th)1/17/NK样转录谱,与小鼠中的发现部分不同。此外,这些数据揭示了此前未在小鼠中描述过的转录因子动态,并发现了一个T效应记忆RA+样群体。进一步,描述了人类CD8+ iNKT细胞的两种不同表达模式——一种类似于naive/前体细胞,另一种类似于Th1/17/NK样细胞,主要表达CD8αα蛋白。这些对人类iNKT细胞转录异质性的关键见解将促进未来的功能研究,并为基于iNKT的细胞疗法开发提供信息。

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are evolutionarily conserved innate lymphocytes important for protection against pathogens, malignancies, and graft-versus-host disease, with potential for universal donor cellular therapies. While mouse studies reveal transcriptionally and functionally distinct subsets, a comprehensive understanding of human iNKT cell heterogeneity is limited.

Herein, we delineate the transcriptomic diversity of human iNKT cells from multiple immunologically relevant hematologic tissues. Human iNKT cells express naive/precursor, transitional, and T helper (Th)1/17/NK-like transcriptional profiles, partially contrasting with findings in mice.

Additionally, these data uncover transcription factor dynamics not previously described in mice and reveal a T effector memory RA + -like population.

Further, two distinct expression patterns of human CD8 + iNKT cells are described-one resembling naive/precursor cells and another resembling Th1/17/NK-like cells, with predominant expression of CD8αα protein. These critical insights into the transcriptional heterogeneity of human iNKT cells will facilitate future functional studies and inform iNKT-based cellular therapy development.
