Expression data from mouse CD4+ T cells

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter and is capable of regulating various endogenous signaling pathways, inculding inflamation and immune response. In mammals, H2S is mainly generated by two pyridoxal-5’-phosphate-dependent enzymes, termed cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE). CBS-deficient mice showed autoimmune disorders. H2S play important roles in T cell development and differentiation, especially Treg cells development and differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of WT and CBS-deficient CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells from WT and CBS-deficient mice were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the homogeneous populations of mice at 6 weeks in order to increase the temporal resolution of expression profiles.

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for maintenance of immune homeostasis. Here we found that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was required for Foxp3(+) Treg cell differentiation and function and that H2S deficiency led to systemic autoimmune disease. H2S maintained expression of methylcytosine dioxygenases Tet1 and Tet2 by sulfhydrating nuclear transcription factor Y subunit beta (NFYB) to facilitate its binding to Tet1 and Tet2 promoters. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-activated Smad3 and inte ...[more]

Project description:The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S), produced by transsulfuration pathway, in recent years has been recognized as a biological mediator playing important role under normal conditions and in various pathologies both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The transsulfuration pathway (TSP) includes the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine following the breakdown of methionine. In Drosophila melanogaster and other eukaryotes H2S is produced by cystathionine B-synthase (CBS), cystathionine y-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulftransferase (MST). In the experiments reported here we were able exploring CRISPR technique to obtain single and double deletions of these three major genes responsible for H2S production. In most cases the deletion of one studied gene does not result in the compensatory induction of two other genes responsible for H2S production. Transcriptomic studies demonstrated that the deletions of the above genes alter the genome expression to different degree with more pronounced effect exerted by deletions of CBS gene. Furthermore, the double deletion of both CBS and CSE resulted in cumulative effect on the transcription in the resulted strains. Overall, we found that the obtained deletions affected numerous genes involved in various biological pathways. Characteristically, genes involved in oxidative reduction process, stress-response genes, house-keeping genes, genes participating in olfactory and reproduction were among the most affected. Furthermore, characteristic differences in the response to the deletions of the studied genes were apparently organ specific and have clear-cut gender character. Importantly, the deletions altered global methylation and chromatin state of the experimental strains by increasing the level of inactive chromatin of the genome. Single and double deletions of the three genes responsible for the production of H2S helped to understand new aspects of biological significance of this vital physiological mediator.
