Transcription profiling of human cord blood derived CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells to identifyTGF-beta1 target genes in human dendritic cells (DC).

ABSTRACT: CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were isolated from human cord blood and amplified in vitro for 10-14 days in serum-free medium with specific cytokines (Ju et al., Eur. J. Cell Biol. 82, 75-86, 2003; Hacker et al., Nat. Immunol. 4, 380-386, 2003). Cultured progenitor cells were induced to differentiate into DC in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 0.1 microM Beta-mercaptoethanol, 100 U/ml penicillin and streptomycin (GIBCO-BRL) and 500 U/ml GM-CSF, 500 U/ml IL-4 for 6 days with or without 10 ng/ml TGF-beta1 as indicated (0.5x10E6 cells/ml). Every 2 days growth factors were added and cells were maintained at 0.5x10E6 cells/ml cell density. RNA was prepared and subjected to microarray analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Dendritic cells (DC) were treated for various periods of time (4, 16 and 36 hours) with TGF-beta1 (10 ng/ml) or left untreated. Experiment Overall Design: DC untreated Experiment Overall Design: DC + TGF-beta1 for 4 hours Experiment Overall Design: DC + TGF-beta1 for 16 hours Experiment Overall Design: DC + TGF-beta1 for 36 hours

Project description:miRNA profiling of CD34+ derived, in vitro-generated Langerhans cells (LCs) and interstitial-type dendritic cells (intDCs). Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) form a network of dendritic cells (DCs) in basal/suprabasal layers of the skin and are characterized by a unique phenotype (CD207+ CD1abright CD324+ CD11b-). Due to their specific location at body surfaces, LCs are constantly exposed to environmental stimuli. Conversely, interstitial-type DCs (intDCs) are located in adjacent tissues and can be discriminated from LCs phenotypically (CD207- CD1adim CD324- CD11b+). These DCs constitute a second line of defense against pathogens that have crossed the epithelial barrier. During development both DC subsets originally arise from myeloid progenitor cells via monocyte-committed intermediates in response to specific microenvironmental signals. Additionally certain pools of DCs can be replenished by tissue resident cells or monocytes in response to specific microenvironmental signals (2, 4, 5). In vitro generated GM-CSF/IL-4-dependent DCs derived either from CD14+ monocytes or via CD14+CD11b+ monocyte intermediates from CD34+ progenitor cells share many characteristics with intDCs in vivo. On the other hand, LCs generated from CD34+ cells under serum-free TGF-beta1-dependent conditions phenotypically resemble epidermal-resident LCs. Since these two DC subsets are of considerable interest for clinical cell therapy studies, an improved understanding of their development and function is of substantial relevance. To identify differentially expressed miRNAs in DC subsets, we performed a miRNA screen. Therefore, we generated LCs or intDCs from human CD34+ cord blood haematopoietic progenitor cells as described. For intDCs, CD34+ cells (1 x 104 to 2 x 104/ml per well) were cultured in 24-well tissue culture plates in serum free CellGroÂ® DC medium (CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml), SCF (20 ng/ml), FL (50 ng/ml) and TNFalpha (2.5 ng/ml) for 3-5 days and subsequently with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml) and IL-4 (2.5 ng/ml) for 4-5 days. For LCs, CD34+ cells (1 x 104 to 2 x 104/ml per well) were cultured in 24-well tissue culture plates in serum free CellGroÂ® DC medium (CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml), SCF (20 ng/ml), FL (50 ng/ml), TNFalpha (2.5 ng/ml) and TGF-beta1 (0.5 ng/ml). The well-established immunophenotype of LCs (CD1ahi CD11b- CD207+ CD324+) and intDCs (CD1a+ CD11b+ CD207- CD324-) was confirmed by FACS. These two DC subsets were purified and submitted to differential miRNA profiling. Two conditioned experiment LCs vs. intDCs. Biological replicates: 3 LCs, 3 intDCs, independently differentiated, harvested and purified. 3 replicates each were pooled and hybridized on one array. Supplementary files linked below.
