ILC1-like cells have a unique gene signature distinct from NK cells.

(a) CB mononuclear cells (MNCs) were enriched prior to sorting via biotin-labelled antibodies (anti-CD3/CD19/CD14/CD66b) and sorted for ILC1-like cells, CD56dim, and CD56bright NK cells (see Figure 1—figure supplement 1 for sorting strategy). RNA sequencing was done on the Illumina platform. The heat map indicates the top 100 differentially expressed genes between ILC1-like cells and CD56bright NK cells including CD56dim NK cells. (b) A two-dimensional principle component analyses based on the top 2000 differentially transcribed genes of CD56bright NK cells, CD56dim NK cells, and ILC1-like cells is shown. (c) A four-way plot with a cut off at a log2 fold change ±1 (dotted lines) and adjusted p-values of 0.05 showing differently expressed genes of CB CD56bright NK cells compared to CD56dim NK cells and ILC1-like cells. Blue dots represent genes with an adjusted p-value<0.05 with a fold change >1. Green dots represent genes with an adjusted p-value <0.05 with a fold change between >1 (x-axis) and <1 (y-axis). Grey dots represent genes with an adjusted p-value >0.05. Red dots represent genes with an adjusted p-value<0.05 with fold rates < 1 (x-axis) and >1 (y-axis). Selected genes differentially expressed between NK cells subsets and ILC1-like cells are highlighted.

Exemplary gating strategy for ILC and NK cell sorting.

Before sorting, CB MNCs were depleted of unwanted cell populations (via biotinylated CD3, CD66b, CD14, CD19 antibodies). (a) Lymphocytes were identified using the forward (FSC-H) and side scatter (SSC-H). (b) Doublets were excluded using the width side scatter (SSC-W). (c) Lineage (Lin) positive cells were excluded using CD127 and lineage panel mix in FITC. (d) The Lin- cells were further divided into NK cells and ILCs via CD94 (for NK cells) and CD127 (for ILCs) expression. (e) CD94+ NK cells are further separated into CD56bright and CD56dim NK cells via their different expression levels of CD56. (f) ILCs are separated into ILC1 (CD117-CRTH2-), ILC2 (CD117-/+CRTH2+), and ILC3 (CD117+CRTH2-) using CD117 and CRTH2 expression. Antibodies included in the Lin panel: anti-CD3, anti-CD14, anti-CD19, anti-CD34, anti-CD20, anti-BDCA-2, anti-TCRαβ, anti-TCRγδ, anti-CD1a, anti-CD123, anti-CD66b, anti-CD235a, anti-FcɛR1α.
