Transcriptomic and nuclear architecture of immune cells after LPS-activation

ABSTRACT: Changes in the nuclear positioning of specific genes, depending on their expression status, have been observed in a large diversity of physiological processes. However, gene position is poorly documented in immune cells subjected to activation upon bacterial infection. Using the pig as a model organism, we focused our study on monocytes-derived macrophages and neutrophils, the first lines of defense against pathogens. We examine whether changes in gene expression due to LPS-activation imply genes repositioning in the nuclear space. A transcriptomic analysis was first performed to identify the genes differentially expressed and analyse the networks implicated during LPS-IFNγ activation in monocytes-derived macrophages. This allowed us to select 4 up-regulated (IL1β, IL8, CXCL10 and TNFα) and 4 down-regulated (VIM, LGALS3, TUBA3, and IGF2) genes to be further studied by 3D-FISH for their behavior in the nuclear space, particularly towards their chromosome territories (CT) during macrophages activation. Among the 4 up-regulated genes, 3 changed their position during the activation process while the 4 down-regulated ones did not. The analysis of gene behaviors towards their CT was extended to neutrophils for 3 up- and 2 down-regulated genes and similar results were obtained. Our data suggest that relocation in the nuclear space of genes differentially expressed in activated immune cells is gene specific and concern mostly up-regulated ones. Porcine monocyte-derived macrophages: Control vs. LPS-IFNγ activated vs. T-2 toxin/LPS-IFNγ activated. A common reference hybridization scheme was used to compare the three-condition experiment, CM vs. AM vs. TAM. The reference consisted of a pool of RNA from all samples. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 LPS-IFNγ activated, 5 T-2 toxin/LPS-IFNγ activated independently. One replicate per array.

Changes in the nuclear positioning of specific genes, depending on their expression status, have been observed in a large diversity of physiological processes. However, gene position is poorly documented for immune cells which have been subjected to activation following bacterial infection. Using a pig model, we focused our study on monocyte-derived macrophages and neutrophils, as they are the first lines of defence against pathogens. We examined whether changes in gene expression due to LPS act ...[more]

Project description:Interferon (IFN)γ and interleukin (IL)-4 are central regulators of T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) immune responses, respectively. Both cytokines have a major impact on macrophage phenotypes: IFNγ–priming and subsequent TLR4 activation induces so called classically activated macrophages that are characterized by pronounced pro-inflammatory responses, whereas IL-4–treated macrophages, commonly called alternatively activated, are known to develop enhanced capacity for endocytosis, antigen presentation, and tissue repair and are generally considered anti-inflammatory. Considering IL-4 as priming rather than activating stimulus, we now compared the TLR4–dependent global gene activation program in IFNγ– versus IL-4–pretreated mouse macrophages, which has rarely been studied so far. Although both cytokines frequently induced opposing effects on gene transcription, the subsequent activation of bone marrow-derived macrophages by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced a strong, priming dependent pro-inflammatory response in both macrophage types. For example, the production of key pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-12 was significantly higher in IL-4– versus IFNγ–primed macrophages and several cytokine genes, including Il19, Ccl17, Ccl22, Ccl24 and Cxcl5, were preferentially induced in alternatively primed and LPS activated mouse macrophages. In a subset of genes, including IL12a, IFNγ priming was actually found to suppress LPS–induced gene expression in a Stat1–dependent manner. Our data suggest that IL-4–priming is not per se anti-inflammatory but generates a macrophage that is “tissue protective” but still capable of mounting a strong inflammatory response after TLR4–dependent activation. Keywords: Gene expression profiling Gene expression was investigated in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM). On day 7, BMM were stimulated with either IL-4 or IFNγ overnight (18h in total). LPS treatment was performed in primed and unprimed macrophages 4 h prior to harvesting. At least three independent experiments were performed for each condition.

Project description:SF-1, a transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, has a pivotal role for adrenogonadal development in humans and mice. A constant feature of childhood adrenocortical tumors (ACT) is SF-1 amplification and overexpression. Using an inducible cellular system, here we show that SF-1 overexpression increases human adrenocortical cell proliferation through opposing effects on cell cycle and apoptosis. SF-1 overexpression also selectively modulates steroidogenesis, reducing cortisol and aldosterone secretion. We identified a novel pro-apoptotic factor for adrenocortical cells, NOV/CCN3, whose levels are significantly reduced by SF-1 overexpression in human adrenocortical cells and are also reduced in primary adrenal tumors. Moreover, Sf-1 overexpression triggers adrenocortical hyperplasia and tumor formation in mice. These tumors express gonadal markers and activated Stat3. Our studies reveal the critical role of SF-1 gene dosage for adrenocortical tumorigenesis and constitute a rationale for the development of drugs targeting SF-1 transcriptional activity for ACT therapy. Keywords: comparative gene expression Gene expression profiles were analyzed by two-color microarrays in transgenic mice from line #56 heterozygous or homozygous for the transgene, male or female and of different ages. Profiles from each transgenic mouse were directly compared to a sex- and age-matched wild-type littermate. For each experimental point, two technical replicates (dye-swaps) were examined.
