Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder with systemic inflammation, autoantibody accumulation and organ damage. The abnormalities of double-negative (DN) T cells are considered as an important commander of SLE. Neddylation, an important type of protein post-translational modification (PTM), has been well-proved to regulate T cell-mediated immune response. However, the function of neddylation in SLE remains largely unexplored. Here, we reported that neddylation inactivation with MLN4924 or genetic abrogation of Ube2m in T cells prevented SLE development for decreased DN T cell accumulation. Further investigations revealed that inactivation of neddylation blocked Bim ubiquitination degradation and maintained Bim level in DN T cells, contributing to the apoptosis of the accumulated DN T cells for Fas mutation. Then double knockout (KO) lupus-prone mice (Ube2m-/-Bim-/-lpr) were generated and results showed that loss of Bim interrupted the improvement of DN T cell apoptosis and the consequential relieved lupus symptoms for Ube2m KO. Our findings identified that neddylation inactivation promoted Bim-mediated apoptosis of DN T cells and prevented lupus progress. Clinically, we also found the percentages of DN T cells were improved accompanied with reduced apoptosis of DN T cells in SLE patients. Moreover, the neddylation of Cullin1 was higher while Bim level was decreased in SLE patients compared with healthy control. Meantime, the inhibition of neddylation induced Bim-dependent apoptosis of DN T cells isolated from SLE patients. Together, these findings provide the first evidence of the neddylation role in lupus development, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for lupus.

Project description:To mimic menopause hormone therapy and compare the effects of estetrol (E4) to the ones of estradiol (E2), ovariectomized mice were treated for 2 weeks with E2, a physiological dose of E4 (E4low) or a supra physiological dose of E4 (E4hi). Non treated ovariectomized mice were used as control. Epithelial cells and fibroblast cells from uterus and vagina were sorted based on surface markers and RNA was collected in duplicates. RNAseq was performed for each replicate.

Project description:One of the major hurdles for the early detection of cancer is our poor understanding of tumour initiating events. Historically, cancer research has focused on histological and molecular characterisation of established tumours which has led to the identification of hundreds of putative driver mutations. It is currently unclear how these genetic aberrations impact the cell state of nascent tumour cells and their microenvironment. BRCA1 driven triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) for example has been shown to arise from luminal progenitor cells yet little is known about how BRCA1 loss-of-function (LOF) and concomitant mutations affect the luminal progenitor cell state. This repository contains ATAC-sequencing dataset of luminal progenitors isolated from 6-months old Brca1/p53 and wild-type mice. This data was used to show that the perturbation of Brca1/p53in luminal progenitors induces an aberrant alveolar differentiation pre-malignancy. Unlike alveolar differentiation occurring during gestation, this process is cell autonomous and characterised by the dysregulation of transcription factors driving alveologenesis. The ATAC-sequencing data supports a model where transcriptional and epigenetic changes driven by Brca1/p53 inadvertently promote a differentiation program hardwired in luminal progenitors, highlighting the deterministic role of the cell of origin and offering a potential explanation for the tissue specificity of BRCA1 tumours.

Project description:Purpose: In all vertebrates, the thymus is necessary and sufficient for production of classic adaptive T cells. The key components of the thymus are cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells (cTECs and mTECs). Despite the capital role of TECs, our understanding of TEC biology is quite rudimentary. For instance, we ignore what might be the extent of divergence in the functional program of these two TECs populations. It also remains unclear why the number of TECs decreases rapidly with age, thereby leading to progressive thymic insufficiency. Methods: Systems level understanding of cell function begins with gene expression profiling, and the transcriptome is currently the only '-ome' that can be reliably tackled in its entirety in freshly harvested primary cells. In order to gain novel insights into TEC biology, we therefore decided to analyse the whole transcriptome of cTECs, mTECs and skin epithelial cells. We elected to analyse gene expression using RNA-seq rather microarrays because RNA-seq has higher sensitivity and dynamic range coupled to lower technical variations. Results: Our deep sequencing approach provides a unique perspective into the transcriptome of TECs. Consistent with their ability to express ectopic genes, we found that mTECs expressed more genes than other cell populations. Out of a total of 15,069 genes expressed in TECs, 25% were differentially expressed by at least 5-fold in cTECs vs. mTECs. Genes expressed at higher levels in cTECs than mTECs regulate numerous cell functions including cell differentiation, cell movement and microtubule dynamics. Almost all positive regulators of the cell cycle were overexpressed in skin ECs relative to TECs. Conclusions: Our RNA-seq data provide novel insights into the transcriptional landscape of TECs, highlight substantial divergences in the transcriptome of TEC subsets and suggest that cell cycle progression is differentially regulated in TECS and skinECs. We believe that our work will therefore represent a valuable resource and will be of great interest to readers working in biological sciences, particularly in the areas of immunology and systems biology. The mRNA profiles of cTEC, mTEC (from 14 thymi of 7-days old C57BL/6 mice) and skinEC (from the trunk and dorsum of seven newborn mice) were generated by RNA-sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:Macrophages represent an important component of the tumor microenvironment and play a complex role in cancer progression. These cells are characterized by a high degree of plasticity, and alter their phenotype in response to local environmental cues. While the M1/M2 classification of macrophages has been widely used, the complexity of macrophage phenotypes specifically in lung cancer has not been well studied. In this study we employed an orthotopic immunocompetent model of lung adenocarcinoma in which murine lung cancer cells are directly implanted into the left lobe of syngeneic mice. Using multi-marker flow cytometry we defined and recovered several distinct populations of monocytes/macrophages from tumors at different stages of progression. We used RNA-seq transcriptional profiling to define distinct features of each population and determine how they change during tumor progression. We defined an alveolar resident macrophage population that does not change in number and express multiple genes related to lipid metabolism and lipid signaling. We also defined a population of tumor-associated macrophages that increase dramatically with tumor, and selectively express a panel of chemokines genes. A third population, which resembles tumor-associated monocytes, expresses a large number of genes involved in matrix remodeling. By correlating transcriptional profiles with clinically prognostic genes, we show that specific monocyte/macrophage populations are enriched in genes that predict good or poor outcome in lung adenocarcinoma, implicating these subpopulations as critical determinants of patient survival. Our data underscore the complexity of monocytes/macrophages in the tumor microenvironment, and suggest that distinct populations play specific roles in tumor progression. mRNA profiles of macrophage/monocyte cells isolated from murine control or tumor-bearing lung. From naive mice: MacA cells (MacA-N), MacB1 cells (MacB1-N), MacB2 cells (MacB2-N); from 2 week tumor bearing mice: MacA cells (MacA-2wk), MacB2 cells (MacB2-2wk), MacB3 cells (MacB3-3wk); from 3-week tumor bearing mice: MacB2 (MacB2-3wk), MacB3 cells (MacB3-3wk). Each population was analyzed in triplicate (cells were isolated in 3 independent experiments).

Project description:We observed that proteasome regulator PSME4 inhibits antigen presentation and reduces cellular inflammation in lung adenocarcinoma. As tumor inflammation and antigenicity are key to anti-tumor immunity, we examined the effect of PSME4 in vivo by injecting mice with either KP1.9 or KP1.9PSME4_KD lung adenocarcinoma. We analyzed the changes in the immune milieu by performing single cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNA seq) of CD45+ cells, 3 weeks following injection of tumor cells. This allowed us to examine the effect of PSME4 on the early immune response to the tumor.
