Comparison of stimulatory and inhibitory dendritic cell subsets reveals new role of DC in granulomatous infection

ABSTRACT: Myeloid dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages play an important role in pathogen sensing and antimicrobial defense. Recently we demonstrated that infection of human DC with intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (L.monocytogenes) leads to the induction of the immunoinhibitory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (Popov et al., J Clin Invest, 2006), while in the previous studies L.monocytogenes infection was associated with a rather stimulatory DC phenotype. To clarify this discrepancy we performed comparative microarray analysis of immature mo-DC (immDC), mature stimulatory mo-DC (matDC) and mature inhibitory DC either stimulated with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2-DC) or infected with L.monocytogenes (infDC). Studying infection of human myeloid DC with Listeria monocytogenes, we found out, that infected DC are modified by the pathogen to express multiple inhibitory molecules, including indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin 10 and CD25, which acts on DC as IL-2 scavenger. All these inhibitory molecules, expressed on regulatory DC (DCreg), are strictly TNF-dependent and are in concert suppressing T-cell responses. Moreover, only DCreg can efficiently control the number of intracellular listeria, mostly by IDO-mediated mechanisms and by other factors, remaining to be identified. Analyzing publicly acessible data of transcriptional changes in DC and macrophages, infected by various pathogens and parasites (GEO, GSE360), we noticed that infection of these cells with Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes transcriptional response, comparable with the one caused by listeria in human DC. In fact, granuloma in tuberculosis and listeriosis in vivo are enriched for myeloid DC and macrophages characterized by regulatory phenotype. In summary, regulatory myeloid DC and macrophages may play a dual role during life-threatening granulomatous infections, such as tuberculosis: on one hand, regulatory myeloid cells promote pathogen containment by efficiently killing intracellular bacteria, on the other hand these cells inhibit granuloma-associated T cells and thereby might be involved in the retention of TNF-controlled granuloma integrity protecting the host from granuloma break-down and pathogen dissemination. Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptional profiles of immature mo-DC (immDC, n=3), mature stimulatory mo-DC (matDC, n=3) and mature inhibitory mo-DC either stimulated with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2-DC, n=3) or infected with L.monocytogenes (infDC, n=3) were compared on Affymetrix HG-U133A platform. All samples represent biological replicates and were processed separately throughout the experiment.

Myeloid dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages play an important role in pathogen sensing and antimicrobial defense. In this study we provide evidence that myeloid DC respond to infection with Listeria monocytogenes with simultaneous induction of multiple stimulatory and inhibitory molecules. However, the overall impact of infected DC during T cell encounter results in suppression of T cell activation, indicating that inhibitory pathways functionally predominate. Inhibitory activity of infected DC ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND: Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is able to control HIV-1 viral replication, however long-lived latent infection in resting memory CD4+ T-cells persist. The mechanisms for establishment and maintenance of latent infection in resting memory CD4+ T-cells remain unclear. Previously we have shown that HIV-1 infection of resting CD4+ T-cells co-cultured with CD11c+ myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) produced a population of non-proliferating T-cells with latent infection. Here we asked whether different antigen presenting cells (APC), including subpopulations of DC and monocytes, were able to induce post-integration latent infection in resting CD4+ T-cells, and examined potential cell interactions that may be involved using RNA-seq. RESULTS: mDC (CD1c+), SLAN+ DC and CD14+ monocytes were most efficient in stimulating proliferation of CD4+ T-cells during syngeneic culture and in generating post-integration latent infection in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells following HIV-1 infection of APC-T-cell co-cultures. In comparison, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and B-cells did not induce latent infection in APC-T-cell co-cultures. We compared the RNA expression profiles of APC subpopulations that could and could not induce latency in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells. Gene expression analysis, comparing the mDC, SLAN+ DC and CD14+ monocyte subpopulations to pDC identified 53 upregulated genes that encode proteins expressed on the plasma membrane that could signal to CD4+ T-cells via cell-cell interactions (32 genes), immune checkpoints (IC) (5 genes), T-cell activation (9 genes), regulation of apoptosis (5 genes), antigen presentation (1 gene) and through unknown ligands (1 gene). CONCLUSIONS: APC subpopulations from the myeloid lineage, specifically mDC subpopulations and CD14+ monocytes, were able to efficiently induce post-integration HIV-1 latency in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells in vitro. Inhibition of key pathways involved in mDC-T-cell interactions and HIV-1 latency may provide novel targets to eliminate HIV latency. mRNA profiles of sorted, pure antigen presenting cells including, CD1c+ myleoid dendirtic cells (mDC), SLAN+ mDC, CD14+ monocytes and plasmacytoid DC (pDC), were generated using next generation sequencing in triplicate, using Illumina Illumina Hiseq 2000.

Project description:In this study transcriptome profiling of dendritic cell subtypes was performed using various human dendritic cells. Monocyte-derived DC: CD14+ monocytes were obtained from buffy coats by Ficoll - gradient centrifugation and immunomagnetic cell separation using anti-CD14-conjugated microbeads. Monocytes were resuspended into 6-well culture dishes at a density of 1.5 x 10 million cells/ml and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS containing 800 U/ml GM-CSF and 500 U/ml IL-4. Cells were cultured for 5 days and the IL-4 and GM-CSF addition was repeated at day 2. Dermal DC (DDC) and Langerhans Cells (LC) from skin: Human skin specimens were obtained from healthy donors undergoing corrective breast or abdominal plastic surgery after informed consent. Thick slices (3 mm) of skin containing the epidermis and the dermis were cut by use of a dermatome. Slices of skin were cut in pieces of 1 cm2 and incubated with Dispase II for 30â60 min at 37Â°C. The epidermis and dermis were separated with tweezers and washed with PBS. To isolate LC, the epidermal sheets were incubated with PBS with 0.05% trypsin for 10 min at 37Â°C, and a single-cell suspension was prepared by pushing the tissue through 100 Âµm pore nylon cell strainers with a plunger of a 2-ml syringe. Epidermal cell suspension was enriched for LC by density centrifugation over Lymphoprep and CD1a-guided MACS (Miltenyi Biotec). To isolate DDC, the dermis was incubated with PBS containing Dispase and Collagenase A at 37Â°C for 2 h, after which, a single-cell suspension was prepared by pushing through 100 Âµm pore nylon cell strainers with a plunger of a 2-ml syringe. Cell suspension was enriched for DDC by CD1a-guided MACS. Blood Cd1c+ DC: Blood CD1c+ DC were isolated from periferal blood. BDCA1+ (CD1c) DCs were incubated with a lineage-specific PE-labeled Ab mixture, HLA-DR-allophycocyanin, and BDCA1-FITC. Lineage-negative and HLA-DRhigh DCs, positive for BDCA1 were sorted on a FACS and collected in tubes containing 1 ml of 100% FBS. A total of 40,000â100,000 cells was isolated (>98% pure). Dendritic cell subtypes were differentiated in vitro from monocytes and primary dendritic cells were isolated from human skin and blood.

Project description:The dendritic cell (DC) is a master regulator of immune responses. Pathogenic viruses subvert normal immune function in DCs through the expression of immune antagonists. Understanding how these antagonists interact with the host immune system requires knowledge of the underlying genetic regulatory network that operates during an uninhibited antiviral response. In order to isolate and identify this network, we studied DCs infected with Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), which is able to stimulate innate immunity and DC maturation through activation of RIG-I signaling, but lacks the ability to evade the human interferon response. To analyze this experimental model, we developed a new approach integrating genome-wide expression kinetics and time-dependent promoter analysis. We found that the genetic program underlying the antiviral cell state transition during the first 18-hours post-infection could be explained by a single regulatory network. Gene expression changes were driven by a step-wise multi-factor cascading control mechanism, where the specific transcription factors controlling expression changed over time. Within this network, most individual genes are regulated by multiple factors, indicating robustness against virus-encoded immune evasion genes. In addition to effectively recapitulating current biological knowledge, we predicted, and validated experimentally, antiviral roles for several novel transcription factors. More generally, our results show how a genetic program can be temporally controlled through a single regulatory network to achieve the large-scale genetic reprogramming characteristic of cell state transitions. Total RNA from Monocyte-derived conventional DCs of 2 different donors were infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or as control with allantoic fluid (AF) alon. DC were then harvested at : 0, 1, 2, 6, 10 and 18 hour for control and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 hours for NDV infection. Replicates were performed for each of the donors at all timepoints.
