Identification of FOXP3-dependent transcripts in human FOXP3 expressing Jurkat T cells

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor (TF) Forkhead Box P3 (FOXP3) is constitutively expressed in high levels in natural occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (nTreg) and is not only the most accepted marker for that cell population, but is considered lineage determinative. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of transcription factors in combination with genomic tiling microarray analysis (ChIP-on-Chip) has been shown to be an appropriate tool to identify FOXP3 transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) on a genome-wide scale. In combination with microarray expression analysis the ChIP-on-Chip technique allows to identify direct FOXP3 target genes. This dataset shows expression data of resting and mitogen stimulated (PMA / ionomycin) retrovirally transduced Jurkat T cells either expressing FOXP3(M-NM-^T2) (J-FOXP3) or an empty vector control (J-GFP). Expression profile of resting and PMA/ionomycin stimulated J-GFP and J-FOXP3 cells was analyzed (one microarray per condition).

Project description:Background: Our purpose was to obtain non-existing genome-wide expression data for the rabbit species on the responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after in vitro stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. This transcriptomic study was carried out using microarrays enriched with immunity-related genes, and annotated with the most recent data available for the rabbit genome. Results: The LPS affected 15 to 20 less genes than PMA/Ionomycin after 4 hours (T4) or 24 hours (T24), of in vitro stimulation, by comparison with mock-stimulated PBMCs. LPS induced an inflammatory response as shown by a significant up-regulation of IL12A and CXCL11 at T4, followed by an increased transcription of IL6, IL1B, IL1A, IL36, IL37, TNF, CCL4 and SAA1 at T24. Surprisingly, we could not find an up-regulation of IL8 either at T4 or at T24. PMA/ionomycin induced a very early expression of Th1, Th2, iTreg, and Th17 responses by PBMCs at T4. The Th1 response was increased at T24 as shown by the increase of the transcription of IFNG and by contrast to other cytokines that significantly decreased from T4 to 24 (IL2, IL4, IL10, IL13, IL17A, CD69). The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF2) was by far the most over-expressed gene at both T4 and T24 by comparison to mock-stimulated cells, confirming a major impact of PMA/ionomycin on cell growth and proliferation. A significant down-regulation of IL16 was observed at T4 and T24, in agreement with a role of IL16 in in PBMC apoptosis. Conclusion: We report new data on the responses of PBMCs to LPS and PMA/ionomycin for the rabbit species, thus enlarging the set of mammalian species for which such reports exist. The availability of the rabbit genome assembly together with highly performing genomic tools should pave the way for more intense genomic studies for this species known to be a very relevant animal model in immunology and physiology. To characterize gene expression changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), we collected blood from 4 adult rabbits. PBMCs were isolated and stimulated with LPS or a mixture of PMA/Ionomycin, versus a control group (C). Cells were harvested either 4h or 24h after activation.
