Project description:Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) have been used as an in vitro model for studying tolerance and immunity. However, the underlying metabolic states of tolerogenic (dexamethasone and vitamin D3-treated), immature and immunogenic (mature, LPS-treated) moDCs have not been completely characterized. Through transcriptomic analyses, we determined that tolerogenic moDCs exhibit augmented catabolic pathways with respect to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and glycolysis. Functionally, tolerogenic moDCs showed the highest mitochondrial membrane potential, production of reactive oxygen species and superoxide, and increased mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity. Tolerogenic and mature moDCs manifested differential FAO gene expression with FAO activity being significantly higher in tolerogenic and immature moDCs than in mature. In addition, tolerogenic and mature moDCs demonstrated similar levels of glycolytic rate, but not glycolytic capacity and reserve, which were more pronounced in tolerogenic and immature moDCs. Finally, tolerogenic and immature moDCs, but not mature moDCs, showed high plasticity to compensate the intracellular ATP content after inhibition of different energetic metabolic pathways. Overall, tolerogenic moDCs exhibit a metabolic signature of increased, stable OXPHOS programing and high plasticity for metabolic adaptation. These findings provide a framework for future research of metabolic properties of human DCs. Total RNA of sixteen samples from four moDC types (tolerogenic, LPS-tolerogenic, immature and mature) were extracted by Trizol (Invitrogen) followed by a clean-up procedure using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). All RNA samples had an integrity number ≥9.6 assessed by Agilent Bioanalyzer. Total RNA samples were amplified using TargetAmp™ and the biotinilated cRNA was prepared by Nano-g™ Biotin-aRNA Labeling Kit for the Illumina® System (Epicentre). After the hybridization to the Illumina Human HT-12 v4 Beadchips for 17 h at 58°C, the arrays were washed, stained (Illumina Wash Protocol) and then scanned using BeadArray Scanner 500GX. Array data were extracted at the probe level without background correction using Illumina GenomeStudio software. These raw data were quantile normalized and log2 transformed. Technical replicates were obtained from the hybridization in duplicate of three samples. Pearson correlation analysis showed high correlation between the technical replicates (r>0.99). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using Limma16 with Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction (p<0.05). DEGs were further clustered into different groups according to the patterns of expression change among the different moDC types using STEM software17. The analysis was performed in R v.2.12.2 (http://www.R-project.org) with Bioconductor 2.12 (http://www.bioconductor.org) and enabled by Pipeline Pilot (www.accelrys.com).

Project description:Variation in individuals' responses to environmental factors is believed to influence susceptibility to complex diseases in humans. The genetic basis of such variation is poorly understood. We measured gene expression from resting and stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) derived from the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), influenza virus or the cytokine IFNβ, and associated genetic variation between individuals with the observed variation in gene expression and gene induction. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll, and magnetically sorted them for CD14+CD16- monocytes. We then differentiated the monocytes into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) by culturing the cells for 7 days with GM-CSF and IL-4. We stimulated the cells with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 2.5 hr or 5 hr, influenza (PR8 dNS1) for 10 hr, or recombinant IFN-beta for 6.5 hr. Finally, we lysed the cells and ran Nanostring on the lysates.

The genetic basis of such variation is poorly understood. We measured gene expression from resting and stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) derived from the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or influenza virus. Using serial replicate samples, we selected genes that showed evidence of reproducibility within the serial replicates. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll, and magnetically sorted them for CD14+CD16- monocytes.

Project description:Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is the most prevalent form of immunotoxicity in humans. Dendritic cells (DC) play a central role in the pathogenesis of ACD, particularly during the sensitization phase to a specific allergen. Upon activation, DCs maturate and migrate to draining lymph nodes which is accompanied by major metabolic and phenotypic alterations that facilitate the presentation of the captured antigen to prime naïve T cells. Nevertheless, knowledge on the molecular effects during maturation of DCs in the context of ACD remain scarce. Here, we present a global proteomic analysis of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) treated with NiSO4, the most prominent cause of ACD. Proteomic alterations induced after treatment with NiSO4 were compared to the bacterial trigger lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both substances possess a similar TLR4 binding capacity, which may help to identify allergy-specific effects compared to bacterial activation. MoDCs treated for 24 h with 2.5 µg/ ml LPS displayed a very strong immunological response, characterized by upregulation of DC activation markers, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and stimulation of T cell proliferation. Similar immunological responses were observed after treatment with 400 µM NiSO4 but less pronounced. Both triggered TLR4 and TREM1 pathways. However, NiSO4 in addition, also activated hypoxic and apoptotic pathways, which might have overshadowed initial signaling. Moreover, our proteomic data support the importance of Nrf2 as a key player in mediating sensitization since many Nrf2 targets genes were strongly upregulated on protein level selectively after treatment with NiSO4. Strikingly, NiSO4 stimulation induced cellular hypocholesterolemia which was counteracted by the induction of genes and proteins relevant for cholesterol biosynthesis. Our proteomic study allowed for the first time to better characterize some of the fundamental differences between NiSO4 and LPS-triggered activation of MoDCs, providing an important contribution to the molecular understanding of contact allergy.

Project description:T helper type 2 (Th2) responses are crucial for defense against infections by helminths and are responsible for the development of allergic reactions that can lead to severe clinical disorders, such as asthma or anaphylaxis, and ultimately to death. The induction of Th2 responses requires a specific activation process, triggered by specialized dendritic cells (DCs), by which naive CD4+ Th0 cells acquire the capacity to produce Th2 cytokines. However, the mechanistic basis of the functional specialization enabling DCs for the initiation of Th2 responses has remained elusive. Here we show that interleukin-4 (IL-4), a cytokine produced by basophils, mast cells and Th2-polarized CD4+ T helper cells, exerting a crucial function during anti-helminths and allergic Th2 responses, has a key role in the licensing/conditioning of DCs for the induction of Th2 responses, by bloking their potential to produce Th1-driving cytokines, such as IL-12, IL-18 and IL-23. Microarray analyses (duplicates) were used to compared the transcriptional profile of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) cultured with GM-CSF in the absence or presence of interleukin-4: IL4-moDCs versus C-moDCs.

Project description:In response to inflammatory stimulation, dendritic cells (DCs) have a remarkable pattern of differentiation (maturation) that exhibits specific mechanisms to control immunity. Here, we show that in response to Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), several microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulated in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Among these miRNAs, miR-155 is highly up-regulated during maturation. Using LNA silencing combined to microarray technology, we have identified the Toll-like receptor / interleukin-1 (TLR/IL-1) inflammatory pathway as a general target of miR-155. We further demonstrate that miR-155 directly controls the level of important signal transduction molecules. Our observations suggest, therefore, that in mature human DCs, miR-155 is part of a negative feedback loop, which down-modulates inflammatory cytokine production in response to microbial stimuli. We devised a strategy to functionally inhibit the mature form of miR-155 with the aim of identifying the signaling pathways controlled by miR-155 during DC maturation. A LNA-modified oligonucleotide, specifically designed for miR-155 knockdown (anti-miR-155 LNA) was introduced in moDCs by nucleofection prior LPS stimulation. 24h after transfection, a reduction in miR-155 levels of 8- and 32-fold was observed by qPCR in immature and mature moDCs respectively. A comparative microarray analysis (Affymetrix U133 2.0 chip) was performed among miR-155 silenced (anti-miR-155 LNA) and control transfected (scramble LNA) moDCs, exposed or not to LPS. Thus, four samples were totally analyzed. As expected from the limited expression of miR-155 in non-activated DCs, little variation in mRNA expression (177 probe sets differentially expressed employing a cut-off of 1.5) was detected upon miR-155 silencing. Conversely, in LPS-activated cells many mRNAs (1324 probe sets, 770 up-regulated and 554 down-regulated) were affected by miR-155 inhibition.

Project description:While dendritic cells (DCs) are known to play a major role in the process of vaccination, the mechanisms by which vaccines induce protective immunity in humans remain elusive. Herein, we used gene microarrays to characterize the transcriptional programs induced over time in human monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) in vitro in response to influenza H1N1 Brisbane, Salmonella enterica and Staphylococcus aureus. We built a data-driven modular analytical framework focused on 204 pathogen-induced gene clusters. The expression of these modules was analyzed in response to 16 well-defined ligands, targeting TLRs, cytoplasmic PAMP receptors and cytokine receptors. This multi-dimensional framework covers the major biological functions of APC, including the IFN response, inflammation, DC maturation, T cell activation, antigen processing, cell motility and histone regulation. This framework was used to characterize the response of monocytes and moDCs to 14 commercially available vaccines. These vaccines displayed quantitatively and qualitatively distinct modular signatures in monocytes and DCs, in particular Fluzone and Pneumovax, highlighting the functional and phenotypic differences between APC subsets. This modular framework allows the application of systems immunology approaches to study early transcriptional changes in human APC subsets in response to pathogens and vaccines, which might guide the development of improved vaccines. 38 samples of IFNa DC and 39 samples of IL4 DC stimulated by CL097, CpG 2006, CpG 2216, Flagellin, IFNa, IL10, IL15, IL1b, LPS, MDP, PAM3, Poly I:C, Poly I:C-LMW-Lyovec, R837 or TNFa
