Transcriptomes of monocyte-derives DCs stimulated with various compounds

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the early transcriptional events in innate immune signaling in immature and tolerogenic monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen-presenting cells of our immune system. TLR ligands usually induce a proinflammatory transcriptional response, whereas IL10 and/or dexamethasone induce a more tolerogenic phenotype. We used Affymetrix microarrays to obtain detailed information underlying pro- and anti-inflammatory transcriptional responsesand transcriptional networks in DCs A pilot experiment was performed in which monocyte-derived DCs were either treated with TLR4 ligand LPS, or IL10 and dexamethason. Furthermore, IL10/dexamethason treated cells were also stimulated with LPS for an additional 6 hr. All samples were then subjected to global gene expression analysis using Affymetrix technology.

<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression by translational repression or target mRNA degradation. Regulatory elements in miRNA promoters are less well studied, but may reveal a link between their expression and a specific cell type.<h4>Results</h4>To explore this link in myeloid cells, miRNA expression profiles were generated from monocytes and dendritic cells (DCs). Differences in miRNA expression among monocytes, DCs and their stimulated ...[more]

Project description:Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) have been used as an in vitro model for studying tolerance and immunity. However, the underlying metabolic states of tolerogenic (dexamethasone and vitamin D3-treated), immature and immunogenic (mature, LPS-treated) moDCs have not been completely characterized. Through transcriptomic analyses, we determined that tolerogenic moDCs exhibit augmented catabolic pathways with respect to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and glycolysis. Functionally, tolerogenic moDCs showed the highest mitochondrial membrane potential, production of reactive oxygen species and superoxide, and increased mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity. Tolerogenic and mature moDCs manifested differential FAO gene expression with FAO activity being significantly higher in tolerogenic and immature moDCs than in mature. In addition, tolerogenic and mature moDCs demonstrated similar levels of glycolytic rate, but not glycolytic capacity and reserve, which were more pronounced in tolerogenic and immature moDCs. Finally, tolerogenic and immature moDCs, but not mature moDCs, showed high plasticity to compensate the intracellular ATP content after inhibition of different energetic metabolic pathways. Overall, tolerogenic moDCs exhibit a metabolic signature of increased, stable OXPHOS programing and high plasticity for metabolic adaptation. These findings provide a framework for future research of metabolic properties of human DCs. Total RNA of sixteen samples from four moDC types (tolerogenic, LPS-tolerogenic, immature and mature) were extracted by Trizol (Invitrogen) followed by a clean-up procedure using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). All RNA samples had an integrity number ≥9.6 assessed by Agilent Bioanalyzer. Total RNA samples were amplified using TargetAmp™ and the biotinilated cRNA was prepared by Nano-g™ Biotin-aRNA Labeling Kit for the Illumina® System (Epicentre). After the hybridization to the Illumina Human HT-12 v4 Beadchips for 17 h at 58°C, the arrays were washed, stained (Illumina Wash Protocol) and then scanned using BeadArray Scanner 500GX. Array data were extracted at the probe level without background correction using Illumina GenomeStudio software. These raw data were quantile normalized and log2 transformed. Technical replicates were obtained from the hybridization in duplicate of three samples. Pearson correlation analysis showed high correlation between the technical replicates (r>0.99). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using Limma16 with Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction (p<0.05). DEGs were further clustered into different groups according to the patterns of expression change among the different moDC types using STEM software17. The analysis was performed in R v.2.12.2 (http://www.R-project.org) with Bioconductor 2.12 (http://www.bioconductor.org) and enabled by Pipeline Pilot (www.accelrys.com).

Project description:We are using ACI and BN rats, which differ markedly in their susceptibility to 17beta-Estradiol (E2)-induced mammary cancer, to identify genetic variants and environmental factors that determine mammary cancer susceptibility. The objective of this study was to characterize the cellular and molecular responses to E2 in the mammary glands of ACI and BN rats to identify qualitative and quantitative phenotypes that associate with and/or may confer differences in susceptibility to mammary cancer. Female ACI and BN rats were treated with E2 for 1, 3 or 12 weeks and cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and gene expression were evaluated. The luminal epithelium of ACI rats exhibited a rapid and sustained proliferative response to E2. By contrast, the proliferative response exhibited by the mammary epithelium of BN rats was restrained and transitory. Moreover, the epithelium of BN rats appeared to undergo differentiation in response to E2, as evidenced by production of milk proteins as well as luminal ectasia and associated changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Marked differences in expression of genes that encode proteins with well-defined roles in mammary gland development (Pgr, Wnt4, Tnfsf11, Prlr, Stat5a, Areg, Gata3), differentiation and milk production (Lcn2, Spp1), regulation of extracellular environment (Mmp7, Mmp9), and cell-cell or cell-ECM interactions (Cd44, Cd24, Cd52) were observed. We propose that these cellular and molecular phenotypes are heritable and may underlie, at least in part, the differences in mammary cancer susceptibility exhibited by ACI and BN rats. Two groups of 17beta-estradiol treated female rats were compared. Five ACI and five BN rats were treated with 17beta-estradiol for 12 weeks. Total RNA was isolated from the mammary glands of these animals, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix Inc.). Significantly differentially expressed genes were found between these groups.

Project description:Abstract Two major dendritic cell (DC) subsets have been described in the islets of mice: The immunogenic CD8Î±-CD11b+ DCs and the tolerogenic CD8Î±+CD103+ DCs. We have recently reported on reduced numbers of the minor population of tolerogenic CD8Î±+CD103+ DCs in the pancreas of 5 week old pre-diabetic non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Aim: To analyze also the larger subset of CD11c+CD8Î±- DCs isolated from the pancreas of pre-diabetic NOD mice 1) for maturation and tolerance inducing molecules found abnormally expressed on CD8Î±+CD103+ DCs, and 2) for genome-wide gene expression to further elucidate abnormalities in underlying gene expression networks. Methods: CD11c+CD8Î±- DCs were isolated from 5 week old C57BL/6 and NOD pancreas. Expression of cell surface markers including CD86, CCR5, CD11b, CD103, Clec9a, CD24 and CD200R3 were measured by FACS. Genome-wide gene expression by microarray was assessed during the steady state and after in vitro LPS stimulation. Results: The steady state pancreatic CD11c+ CD8Î±- DCs during the pre-diabetic stage showed: 1) A reduced expression of several gene networks important for the prime functions of the cell, such as for cell renewal, immune stimulation and immune tolerance induction, for migration and for the provision of growth factors for beta cell regeneration. This general deficiency state was corroborated by a reduced in vivo proliferation (BrdU incorporation) of the cells and the reduced expression in FACS analysis of CD86, CCR5, CD103, Clec9a, CD24 and CD200R3 on the cells. 2) A hyper reactivity of these cells to LPS correlated with an enhanced pro-inflammatory state characterized by altered expression of a number of classical pro-inflammatory factors and cytokines. Conclusion: The NOD CD11c+CD8Î±- DCs seem to be Janus-faced depending on the conditions: Deficient in steady state with reduced immune stimulation capabilities also for tolerance induction; over-inflammatory with a molecular profile suggesting a preferential stimulatory capacity for Th1 cells when encountering a Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP) in the form of LPS. We used microarray gene expression analysis to explain the abnormal expression of several cell surface markers involved in tolerace, migration and maturation in the steady-state and to measure the effect of a PAMP such as LPS We isolated RNA from FACS sorted CD11c+CD8Î±- DCs in 10 pooled pancreases from pre-diabetic NOD and non-diabetic C57BL/6 mice at 5 weeks. In addition, we treated in another experiment the isolated pancreas DCs with LPS (and PBS), incubated for 18h and measured gene expression. We compared gene expression between strains NOD vs C57BL/6 under steady-state and after in-vitro LPS/PBS stimulation.
