Project description:Myeloid dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages play an important role in pathogen sensing and antimicrobial defense. Recently we demonstrated that infection of human DC with intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (L.monocytogenes) leads to the induction of the immunoinhibitory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (Popov et al., J Clin Invest, 2006), while in the previous studies L.monocytogenes infection was associated with a rather stimulatory DC phenotype. To clarify this discrepancy we performed comparative microarray analysis of immature mo-DC (immDC), mature stimulatory mo-DC (matDC) and mature inhibitory DC either stimulated with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2-DC) or infected with L.monocytogenes (infDC). Studying infection of human myeloid DC with Listeria monocytogenes, we found out, that infected DC are modified by the pathogen to express multiple inhibitory molecules, including indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin 10 and CD25, which acts on DC as IL-2 scavenger. All these inhibitory molecules, expressed on regulatory DC (DCreg), are strictly TNF-dependent and are in concert suppressing T-cell responses. Moreover, only DCreg can efficiently control the number of intracellular listeria, mostly by IDO-mediated mechanisms and by other factors, remaining to be identified. Analyzing publicly acessible data of transcriptional changes in DC and macrophages, infected by various pathogens and parasites (GEO, GSE360), we noticed that infection of these cells with Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes transcriptional response, comparable with the one caused by listeria in human DC. In fact, granuloma in tuberculosis and listeriosis in vivo are enriched for myeloid DC and macrophages characterized by regulatory phenotype. In summary, regulatory myeloid DC and macrophages may play a dual role during life-threatening granulomatous infections, such as tuberculosis: on one hand, regulatory myeloid cells promote pathogen containment by efficiently killing intracellular bacteria, on the other hand these cells inhibit granuloma-associated T cells and thereby might be involved in the retention of TNF-controlled granuloma integrity protecting the host from granuloma break-down and pathogen dissemination. Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptional profiles of immature mo-DC (immDC, n=3), mature stimulatory mo-DC (matDC, n=3) and mature inhibitory mo-DC either stimulated with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2-DC, n=3) or infected with L.monocytogenes (infDC, n=3) were compared on Affymetrix HG-U133A platform. All samples represent biological replicates and were processed separately throughout the experiment.

Project description:Talactoferrin alfa (TLF) is a unique recombinant version of human lactoferrin, an important immunomodulatory protein present in exocrine secretions and in the secondary granules of neutrophils. Talactoferrin has demonstrated anti-cancer activity in preclinical studies and in Phase III clinical trials in patients with Renal Cell Cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. We have shown that TLF induces the maturation of human DCs derived from monocytes, suggesting that the linkage of the innate and adaptive immunity through DC maturation is a key immune function mediated by TLF. In this study we used genome-wide expression analysis to explore the mechanisms by which TLF leads to the functional maturation of DC. We show that GMP level recombinant TLF activates human DCs in a Toll-like receptor (TLR) -2 and -4 dependent manner. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from buffy coats of healthy donors. CD14+ cells were isolated from fresh PBMCs by positive immunoselection with magnetic beads. Immature dendritic cells (i-DC) from four donors were generated using granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4. On day 6, cells were harvested in order to have iDC or mDC (conventionally matured DC) by addition of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) -alfa and IL-1beta or TLF-DC (Talactoferrin matured DC) adding Food and Drug Administration-approved, GMP level recombinant TLF generated in eukaryotic cells. After 24 hour culture, cells were harvested and analyzed with Illumina arrays.

Project description:IL-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes host defense against infections and contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells responsible for adaptive immune responses. Here, we report that IL-17A induces intense remodeling of lipid metabolism in human monocyte-derived DC, as revealed by microarrays analysis. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A. IL-17A induced accumulation of Oil Red O-positive lipid droplets in DC leading to the generation of lipid-laden DC. A lipidomic study established that all the analyzed lipid species, i.e phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesteryl esters were elevated in IL-17A-treated DC. The increased expression of membrane lipid transporters in IL-17A-treated DC as well as their enhanced ability to uptake the fatty acid Bodipy-FL-C16 suggested that lipid uptake was the main mechanism responsible for lipid accumulation in response to IL-17A. IL-17A-induced lipid laden DC were able to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro as efficiently as untreated DC, indicating that IL-17A-treated DC are potently immunogenic. This study, encompassed in the field of immunometabolism, points out for the first time IL-17A as a modulator of lipid metabolism in DC and provides a rationale to delineate the importance of lipid-laden DC in IL-17A-related inflammatory diseases. We used microarrays analysis to understand the impact of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived human dendritic cells. We found overexpression of many genes involved in lipid metabolism in IL-17A-treated dendritic cells compared to untreated dendritic cells. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A. IL-17A induced accumulation of Oil Red O-positive lipid droplets in DC leading to the generation of lipid-laden DC.

RNA was extracted from untreated in vitro-generated DC at day 0 (DC, 4 biological replicates ) or DC cultured for 12 days with IL-17A, in the absence or presence of IFN-g (DC-17 and DC-G17, 5 biological replicates)

Project description:VAF347 is a low molecular weight compound which inhibits allergic lung inflammation in vivo. This effect is likely due to a block of dendritic cell (DC) function to generate pro-inflammatory T-helper (Th) cells since VAF347 inhibits IL-6, CD86 and HLA-DR expression by human monocyte derived DC, three relevant molecules for Th-cell generation. Here we demonstrate that VAF347 interacts with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) protein resulting in activation of the AhR signaling pathway. Functional AhR is responsible for the biological activity of VAF347 since, i) other AhR agonists display an identical activity profile in vitro, ii) gene silencing of wild type AhR expression or forced over-expression of a trans-dominant negative AhR ablates VAF347 activity to inhibit cytokine induced IL-6 expression in a human monocytic cell line and iii) AhR deficient mice are resistant to the compoundâs ability to block allergic lung inflammation in vivo. These data identify the AhR protein as key molecular target of VAF347 and its essential role for mediating the anti-inflammatory effects of the compound in vitro and in vivo. Experiment Overall Design: Immature monocyte-derived DC were activated with anti-CD40 antibodies for 8 hours in the absence or presence of VAF347. Two donors (D1,D2) were used, resulting in four data sets: D1_ctrl, D2_ctrl (ctrl=no treatment), D1_VAF347, D2_VAF347.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that bone marrow-derived DC can prevent diabetes development and halt progression of insulitis in NOD mice, the mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The DC population that was most effective in this therapy had a mature phenotype, expressed high levels of costimulatory molecules and secreted low levels of IL-12p70. The protective DC therapy induced regulatory Th2 cells that shifted the dominant Th1 environment, present in NOD mice, to a mixed Th1/Th2 milieu. Microarray analysis of therapeutic and non-therapeutic DC populations revealed several novel molecules that could play important roles in the observed DC-mediated therapy. The therapeutic DC population expressed a unique pattern of costimulatory molecules and chemokines, which were confirmed by flow cytometry and ELISA assays. We have performed in vitro chemotaxis assays that demonstrated the therapeutic DC preferentially attracted Th2 cells, as compared to Th1, Treg or naïve T cells. In addition we quantified the in vivo migration of activated islet-specific T cells to the pancreas using novel cell labeling techniques and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance. A subcutaenous injection of therapeutic DC alters the migration of both Th1 and Th2 cells to the pancreas, and Th1 cells appeared in the lymph node draining the site of DC injection. These results suggest that the therapeutic function of DC is mediated in part by the chemoattractive properties of these DC for diabetogenic Th1 cells. Bone marrow cells from NOD mice were cultured in GM or GM + IL-4 to generate DC. DC were purified on metrizamide gradients after 4 days of culture. Purified DC were stimulated with LPS + IFNg and RNA taken 0, 6 and 20 hours after stimulation. Three biological replicates were performed but not all RNA samples were good. The are 3 replicates for GM/0, GM4/0, GM4/6 and 2 replicates for GM/6, GM/20 and GM4/20

Project description:In response to inflammatory stimulation, dendritic cells (DCs) have a remarkable pattern of differentiation (maturation) that exhibits specific mechanisms to control immunity. Here, we show that in response to Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), several microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulated in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Among these miRNAs, miR-155 is highly up-regulated during maturation. Using LNA silencing combined to microarray technology, we have identified the Toll-like receptor / interleukin-1 (TLR/IL-1) inflammatory pathway as a general target of miR-155. We further demonstrate that miR-155 directly controls the level of important signal transduction molecules. Our observations suggest, therefore, that in mature human DCs, miR-155 is part of a negative feedback loop, which down-modulates inflammatory cytokine production in response to microbial stimuli. We devised a strategy to functionally inhibit the mature form of miR-155 with the aim of identifying the signaling pathways controlled by miR-155 during DC maturation. A LNA-modified oligonucleotide, specifically designed for miR-155 knockdown (anti-miR-155 LNA) was introduced in moDCs by nucleofection prior LPS stimulation. 24h after transfection, a reduction in miR-155 levels of 8- and 32-fold was observed by qPCR in immature and mature moDCs respectively. A comparative microarray analysis (Affymetrix U133 2.0 chip) was performed among miR-155 silenced (anti-miR-155 LNA) and control transfected (scramble LNA) moDCs, exposed or not to LPS. Thus, four samples were totally analyzed. As expected from the limited expression of miR-155 in non-activated DCs, little variation in mRNA expression (177 probe sets differentially expressed employing a cut-off of 1.5) was detected upon miR-155 silencing. Conversely, in LPS-activated cells many mRNAs (1324 probe sets, 770 up-regulated and 554 down-regulated) were affected by miR-155 inhibition.

Project description:Day 6 human monocyte derived dendritic cells were left unstimulated or matured for 2 days using the golden standard maturation cocktail currently used in clinical practice. Maturation induced changes in mRNA expression were determined by calculation of expression in mature DC relative to immature DC. Obtained gene expression raito's were compared to protein expression ratio's from the same batch of cells at the pathway level (proteomics data of this experiment is deposited in Human Proteinpedia, accession number pending).

Project description:To identify the functional non-coding RNAs in human DC development, we explored the gene expression profiles during DC development from peripheral monocytes. Using RNA-seq, we identified many annotated lncRNAs with markedly altered expressions during human DC differentiation and maturation. RNA samples from human peripheral blood monocytes and monocyte-derived DCs were collected. RNAs from 3 donors were pooled together to form monocyte sample or DC sample and then these two samples were subjected to RNA-seq and analysis.

Project description:Lactobacilli are probiotics that, among other health promoting effects, have been ascribed immunostimulating and virus preventive properties. Certain lactobacilli species have been shown to possess strong IL-12 inducing properties. As IL-12 production depends on the up-regulation of type I interferons, we hypothesized that the strong IL-12 inducing capacity of L. acidophilus NCFM in murine bone marrow derived DC is caused by an up-regulation of IFN-β, which subsequently stimulates the induction of IL-12 and the dsRNA binding toll like receptor (TLR)-3. The expression of the genes encoding IFN-β, IL-12, IL-10 and TLR-3 in DC upon stimulation with L. acidophilus NCFM was measured. L. acidophilus NCFM induced a much stronger expression of ifn-β, il-12 and il-10 compared to the synthetic dsRNA ligand Poly I:C, whereas the levels of expressed tlr-3 were similar. By the use of whole genome microarray gene expression, we investigated whether other genes related to the viral defence were up-regulated in DC upon stimulation with L. acidophilus NCFM and found that various virus defence related genes, both early and late, were among the strongest up-regulated genes. The IFN-β stimulating capability was also detected in another L. acidophilus strain, but was not a property of other probiotic bacteria tested (B. bifidum and E. coli nissle).The IFN-β inducing capacity was markedly reduced in TLR-2 -/- DCs, dependent on endocytosis and the major cause of the induction of il-12 and tlr-3 in L. acidophilus NCFM stimulated cells. Collectively, our results reveal that certain lactobacilli trigger the expression of viral defence genes in DC in a TLR-2 manner through induction of IFN- β. Experiment Overall Design: In the experiment Lactobacillus NCFM were added to murine dendritic cells and stimulated for 4, 10 or 18 hours. These were compared to control experiment at the same timepoints. Experiments were run in triplicates except for control 10h and control 18h which were only in duplicate, giving a total of 16 arrays.
