Brief description Genes negatively differentially expressed in cell type: CD4+ T cell upon treatment with cytokine: IL-21 in mouse lymph nodes in vivo.
Full description or abstract Cytokines mediate cell-cell communication in the immune system and represent important therapeutic targets. A myriad of studies have highlighted their central role in immune function, yet we lack a global view of the cellular responses of each immune cell type to each cytokine. To address this gap, the authors created the Immune Dictionary, a compendium of single-cell transcriptomic profiles of more than 17 immune cell types in response to each of 86 cytokines (>1,400 cytokine-cell type combinations) in mouse lymph nodes in vivo. A cytokine-centric view of the dictionary revealed that most cytokines induce highly cell-type-specific responses. For example, the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β induces distinct gene programmes in almost every cell type. A cell-type-centric view of the dictionary identified more than 66 cytokine-driven cellular polarization states across immune cell types, including previously uncharacterized states such as an interleukin-18-induced polyfunctional natural killer cell state.
