Project description:Mast cells are phenotypically and functionally highly heterogeneous, and their state is possibly controlled by their local microenvironment. Therefore, concrete analyses are needed to understand whether mast cells act as powerful motivators or dispensable bystanders in specific diseases. Here, we evaluated the correlation between synovial mast cells and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease severity, and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions against mast cells. We showed that degranulation of mast cells in inflammatory synovial tissues of RA patients was induced via MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2), and the expression of MHC class II (MHC II) and costimulatory molecules on mast cells were upregulated. These unique signaling response led to mast cell activation and promoted T cell responses, resulting in the progression of RA. Collagen-induced arthritis mouse models treated with a combination of anti-IL-17A and cromolyn sodium, a mast cell membrane stabilizer, showed significantly reduced clinical severity and decreased bone erosion. The findings of the present study suggest that synovial microenvironment-influenced mast cells contribute to RA and may provide a novel mast cell-targeting therapy for RA.

Project description:Degranulating mast cells (MCs) release inflammatory mediators (proteins, lipids, small molecules), including chemokines and chemoattractants, which recruit other immune cells in tissues. Neutrophils can initiate self-amplifying swarming responses via intercellular communication through the lipid leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Initially discovered by two-photon intravital microscopy in mice and confocal live cell imaging, we show that degranulating MCs release LTB4 and exploit this attractant by re-directing neutrophils to MCs. In a process generally termed entosis, neutrophil cluster formation around MCs results in the trapping of living neutrophils inside MC vacuoles in vivo and in vitro. Thus, we identify a novel cell-in-cell structure between MCs and neutrophils, which we term “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Compared to MCs, MITs revealed improved MC metabolism and recovery after degranulation. This leads to several benefits for MITs: (1) they can be more efficiently re-stimulated than MCs, (2) they show improved survival under nutrient limitation, and (3) MITs store neutrophil proteins, DNA and effector molecules, which can be released after re-stimulation. In this context, we compare the secretome (secreted proteins) of MCs and MITs (in cell culture) before and subsequent to degranulation via label-free nanoLC-MS. In summary, mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils, which supply nutrients, proteins and inflammatory molecules to recovering MCs. Our studies may have potential implications for chronically activated MCs in MC-related immune disorders.

Project description:Haematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into all blood cell types. In this process, cells become progressively restricted to a single cell type. The order in which differentiating cells loose lineage potential, and the prospective isolation of cells with a defined potential remains a long-standing question. We performed gene expression analysis of haematopoietic cells from Gata1-EGFP reporter mice, leading to a model for hematopoiesis where the initial lineage decision consists of a seperation of erythroid/megakaryocyte/mast cell/eosinophil potential from lymphopoietic/monocyte/neutrophil potential Find unbiased heterogeneity in the preGM hematopoietic progenitor population

Project description:We demonstrate that the G protein Gi3 is the cellular target of the adenosine A3 receptor (A3R). By using a cell permeable peptide comprising the C-terminal end of Gαi3 fused to an importation sequence (ALL1) as a selective inhibitor of Gi3 signaling, we show that by coupling to Gi3, the A3R stimulates multiple signaling pathways in human mast cells, leading to upregulation of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors.Following contact with activated T cell membranes, endogenous adenosine binds to and activates the A3R, resulting in Gi3-mediated signaling. Specifically, the majority of ERK1/2 signaling initiated by contact with activated T cell membranes, is mediated by Gi3, giving rise to ALL1-inhibitable cellular responses. These results unveil the physiological GPCR that couples to Gi3 and establish the important role played by this G-protein in inflammatory conditions that involve adenosine-activated mast cells. We used microarrays to detail the effect of ALL1 on gene expression of HMC-1 cells activated directly by the A3 receptor, or by contact with activated T cell membranes. The experiment consisted of 6 treatments in duplicates, a total of 12 samples. The cells were activated via two different activation pathways (A3 and T membranes), with or without pretreatment with the drug ALL1.

Project description:By restraining T cell activation and promoting regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) (tDC) can control self-reactive and anti-graft effector T cells in autoimmunity and transplantation. Their therapeutic use and characterization, however, is limited by their scarce availability in the peripheral blood of tumor-free donors. In the present study we describe and characterize a novel population of myeloid suppressor cells, named fibrocytic MDSC (f-MDSC), that are differentiated from umbilical cord blood (UCB) precursors by a 4 day culture with FDA approved cytokines (rh-GM-CSF and rh-G-CSF). This MDSC subset, characterized by the expression of MDSC-, DC-, and fybrocyte-s associated markers, promotes Treg regulatory cells expansion and promote normoglycemia in a xenogeneic model of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). In order to exert their pro-tolerogenic function, fibrocytic MDSC require direct contact with activated T cells, which leads to the induction and secretion of indoleamine 2,3 deoxygenase (IDO). This new myeloid subset may represent an important tool for the in vitro and in vivo production of Treg for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and either prevention or control of allograft rejection. Keywords: expression profiling by array Human Umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples were cultured for 4 days with GM-CSF and G-CSF after Ficoll-Paque gradient separation and red cell lysis. CD33+/IL-4RM-NM-1+ cells were sterilely sorted and part stored in Trizol for RNA extraction (BEFORE CONTACT), and part co-cultured with autologous PHA activated CD3+ T cells either in cell to cell contact (CONTACT) or using a transwell device to separate the two popyulations (TRANSWELL). Three days later, T cells were removed from the co-culture either by repeated washes with PBS or by simply removing the transwell device. Adherent cells were lysed with Trizol and stored at -80M-bM-^@M-^YC. RNA extraction was carry on with miRNAeasy mini kit from Quiagen; RNA QC was assessed by Agilent BioAnalyzer 6000 and samples were analyzed with Affymetrix Human 2.0 ST array

Project description:Many cells in mammals exist in the state of quiescence, which is characterized by reversible exit from the cell cycle. Quiescent cells are widely reported to exhibit reduced size, nucleotide synthesis, and metabolic activity. Much lower glycolytic rates have been reported in quiescent compared with proliferating lymphocytes. In contrast, we show here that primary human fibroblasts continue to exhibit high metabolic rates when induced into quiescence via contact inhibition. By monitoring isotope labeling through metabolic pathways and quantitatively identifying fluxes from the data, we show that contact-inhibited fibroblasts utilize glucose in all branches of central carbon metabolism at rates similar to those of proliferating cells, with greater overflow flux from the pentose phosphate pathway back to glycolysis. Inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway resulted in apoptosis preferentially in quiescent fibroblasts. By feeding the cells labeled glutamine, we also detected a “backwards” flux in the tricarboxylic acid cycle from α-ketoglutarate to citrate that was enhanced in contact-inhibited fibroblasts; this flux likely contributes to shuttling of NADPH from the mitochondrion to cytosol for redox defense or fatty acid synthesis. The high metabolic activity of the fibroblasts was directed in part toward breakdown and resynthesis of protein and lipid, and in part toward excretion of extracellular matrix proteins. Thus, reduced metabolic activity is not a hallmark of the quiescent state. Quiescent fibroblasts, relieved of the biosynthetic requirements associated with generating progeny, direct their metabolic activity to preservation of self integrity and alternative functions beneficial to the organism as a whole. mRNAs were analyzed by two color microarray from two separate human neonatal dermal fibroblasts cell lines in proliferating, 7 days contact inhibition, or 14 days contact inhibition. Contact inhibited samples were co-hybridized to proliferating samples as a control, while an additional array co-hybridized the two proliferating samples to analyze reproducibility.

Project description:Background; Heterodera schachtii is an economically important plant parasitic nematode that forms a syncytium from a cell superficial to the formed vascular bundle by progressive recruitment of other cells into the structure. The pattern of plant gene expression changes dramatically inside the syncytium. The pathogen probably plays a major role in defining the plant response by choice of initial plant cell during precise behaviour in planta and/or by the secretions it releases. The modified plant cells enable a high feeding rate by the female nematode so enhancing its rate of development and subsequent daily egg production. Arabidopsis is widely used as a model plant to characterise molecular responses to nematodes (e.g. Sijmons et al., 1991 Plant J. 1:245-254.). A complete overview of the changes in plant gene expression when sedentary nematodes establish has not yet been gained using Arabidopsis or any other host plant. Experimental Approaches; Our initial studies will focus on the H. schachtii/Arabidopsis interaction. To assure reliable microarray screening care has been taken to minimise extraneous differences between samples (see "Growth conditions" section). At 21 days (Growth stage 3.2-3.5 Boyes et al., 2001 Plant Cell 13:1499-1510) Arabidopsis plants were challenged with rigorously sterilised, infective nematodes of H. schachtii as before (Urwin et al., (1997) Plant Journal 12: 455-461.). 35 sterile J2s were pipetted onto small ~0.5mm2 squares of sterile GF/A filter paper. The GF/A paper was left in direct contact with the zone of elongation on 3 lateral roots per plant for 48 hours. Control plants were mock inoculated with sterile water. Sections of root containing syncytia have been excised from the thin and transparent roots of Arabidopsis and collected into RNAlater solution (Ambion) at 21 days post infection (Growth Stage 6.1 Boyes et al. 2001). The female nematode has been removed with watch-maker's forceps. Equivalent sections of root have been harvested from non-infected plants. Material has been collected from c. 1000 plants for each of the two samples and the uninfected material serves as an internal control. Total RNA has been prepared from the reference and test root material using an RNeasy plant RNA preparation kit (Qiagen) according to methods required by GARNET.Some questions on the form are omitted as we are not using mutant or transgenic lines. This is our first application.

Project description:The intracellular pathways regulated by intercellular interactions within the myelomatous bone marrow (BM) were studied by analysis of the changes in gene expression profile (GEP) following interruption of the natural interactions due to BM aspiration. Among numerous changes in GEP evolved, a subset of genes exhibited prompt and sustained switch in expression reproducibly. The switch in GEP was reversible and turned “off” and on” in culture conditions resuming cell-cell-matrix contact versus re-spread onto suspension, respectively. Although similar changes in GEP were recorded during remission, various changes were restricted to either the normal or tumor cells. Interestingly, the contact signature was accompanied in culture conditions by stasis as opposed to invasive/expansive potential recognized within the contactless genetic program. This dataset, being unique in disclosing the authentic GEP of MM cells, uncovered contact regulated genes capable of controlling homing, expansion and cell fate. Comparative gene expression profiling of whole bone marrow samples from myeloma patients fixed either immediately following aspiration or after delayed RNA fixation (for 17, 120, 300, 420, 540, 660 minutes). Comparison was also made between cultured bone marrow cells fixed immediately following spread from the bottom well or after maintenance in suspension (for 60, 120 minutes) as well as between malignant pleural fluid sediment fixed before or after cell spread from the bottom tube and maintenance in suspension (for 270 minute).

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan that causes Chagas disease, an endemic parasitosis in Latin America that has spread around the globe. Recently, a series of studies indicate that the gastrointestinal tract represents an important reservoir for T. cruzi in the chronic phase. It is also known that, during contact between T. cruzi and host cells, there is a release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that modulates the immune system and enhances the infection, but the dynamics of secretion of host and parasite molecules through these EVs is not understood. In this study, we used two cell lines to simulate the environments found by the parasite in the host: C2C12 cell (myoblast) and Caco-2 cell (intestinal epithelium). We isolated large EVs (LEVs) from the interaction of T. cruzi culture-derived trypomastigotes (TCTs) belonging to two distinct strains (CL Brener, DTU Tc VI and Dm28c DTU Tc I) in contact with C2C12 and Caco-2 cells to 2 hours and after 24 hours of infection. The interaction of the parasite with the host cell induces a switch in the functionality of proteins carried by LEVs and a varied tissue answer. Protein-protein interaction analysis indicates that LEVs carry key proteins for host-pathogen interaction that could participate in the pathogenesis of Chagas Disease.
