Transcriptional profilling of pathogen-specific T helper cells

ABSTRACT: Introduction: We reported a in vitro pathogen-specific priming system to using pathogen lysate stimulated splenic CD11c+ DCs to differentiate pathogen-specific murine T helper cells. This method allowed us to compare side-by-side transcriptional profiles of bulk T helper cells that are specific to distinct pathogens and to study their composition and functionality. Method: We stimulated mouse splenic CD11c+ DCs with 10ug/ml Lm or Cr lysate for 5hours. The DCs were subsequently washed and co-cultured at 1:5 ratio to purified, CFSE-labeled CD62L+CD44- mouse naïve CD4 T cells. At day-7, CD90+CFSE- (Pathogen-specific Th cells) or CD90+CFSE+ (naive T cells) were sorted from the same culture and were subjected to RNA isolation, library prep and subsequent sequencing. Conclusion: We found that Lm- and Cr-specific Th cells have distinct transcriptomes and contained distinct Th subtypes. Lm-specific Th cells contained higher expressions of Th1-associated cytokines, while Cr-specific Th cells contained higher levels of Th17 associate cytokines and transcription factors. In addition, we have identified heterogeneity within the pathogen-specific Th cells, as they express various cytokines from multiple Th lineages. Lastly, we found a vast variety of genes differentially expressed between Lm- and Cr-specific Th cells, indicating that different pathogen-stimulated DCs denote distinct function and developmental cues to T cells during differentiation.

Transcriptional profilling of In vitro-primed C.rodentium-specific WT or Caspase-1 deficient Th cells

Project description:Introduction: We reported that caspase-1 is highly expressed in in vitro-primed C.rodentium-specific Th cells. Caspase-1 deficient (Casp1d10) naïve T cells differentiate into pathogen-specific Th17 cells at an suboptimal level and fail to protect against C.rodentium infection. To gain insight into the regulatory pathways exerted by caspase-1 in Th cells, we performed RNA-seq on in vitro-primed WT and Casp1d10 Th cells. Method: We stimulated WT C57/BL6J splenic CD11c+ DCs with 10ug/ml C.rodentium lysate for 5 hours. Then DCs are washed and co-cultured in 1:5 ratio with naïve WT C57/BL6J or Casp1d10 CD4 T cells for 10 days. CFSE-CD90+ (pathogen-specific Th cells) were FACS-sorted and subjected to mRNA-seq analysis. Conclusion: We found that WT Cr-specific Th cells have higher expression of Th17 genes, including Il17a,f,Il22 and Rorc. Casp1Δ10 Cr-specific Th cells exhibited higher expression of iNOS genes and exogenous lipid metabolism genes such as Cd36, suggesting a distinct cellular metabolism potentially regulated by Caspase-1.

Transcriptional profilling of In vitro-primed C.rodentium-specific Th17 cells, cytokine-differentiated Th17 cells and ex vivo Th17 cells following C.rodentium infection

Project description:Introduction: We reported a in vitro pathogen-specific priming system to using pathogen lysate stimulated splenic CD11c+ DCs to differentiate pathogen-specific murine T helper cells. This method allowed us to compare side-by-side transcriptional profiles of bulk T helper cells that are specific to distinct pathogens and to study their composition and functionality. Moreover, we can utilize cytokine reporter mice to isolate specific Th subtypes from these in vitro-primed T cells and study their transcriptional regulation. Method: We isolate commited Th17 cells by utilizing IL-17A fate-mapping mice (Il17aCRE; R26tdT). We generated Th17 cells in 3 conditions: 1. We used Cr-stimulated DCs to prime Th17 cells and sorted CD90+CFSE-tdT+ population, dubbed 'ppTh17' cells. CFSE+CD90+ naive T cells from the same culture as controls. 2. We polarized naive Il17aCRE; R26tdT CD4 T cells to Th17 lineage using previously defined cytokine and antibody cocktail (IL-6+TGFb1+IL-1b+IL-23; plate bound anti-CD3+anti-CD28). We sorted CD90+tdT+ population, dubbed 'cdTh17' cells. 3. We intragastrically infected Il17aCRE; R26tdT mice with 5x10^8 C.rodentium and harvested mesenteric lymph nodes at 10 days post infection (dpi). We sorted tdT+ CD4 T cells from mesenteric lymph nodes, dubbed "ex vivo Th17' cells. The four sorted populations were subjected to mRNA-sequencing analysis. Conclusion: We found that compared to cdTh17 cells, ppTh17 cells and ex vivo Th17 cells resemble each other. These two physiologically relevant Th17 populations maintain high levels of heterogeneity and plasticity, as well as posess ability to upregulate memory T cell related genes. cdTh17 cells highly express glycolysis and one-carbon metabolism genes, correlate with their expression of cell cycle genes, suggesting a highly activated state.

Mice bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) infected by Listeria: extracellular vesicles (EVs) proteome and PTMs

Project description:In this study, we aimed to determine the role of EVs derived from Lm-infected DCs in the innate response, and the potential role of HDAC6 in DEV loading under these conditions. Our results show that Lm infection induced an elevated production of DEVs. Lm infection also altered protein sorting. Interestingly, HDAC6 deletion altered DEV protein sorting, although it did not affect acetylation of DEV-loaded proteins. However, protein ubiquitination was severely altered. Here, we show that the protein content of dendritic cells (DCs) and their secreted EVs (DEVs) vary dramatically during Lm infection. The proteomic profiles of DCs and DEV differ depending on whether HDAC6 is expressed or not.

Transcription profiling of mouse CD8 T cells during acute homeostatic proliferation

Project description:Our earlier study demonstrated that when CFSE-labeled LCMV-or Pichinde virus-immune spleen leukocytes were transferred into T cell-deficient hosts, the bona fide virus-specific memory cells underwent relatively limited cell division and were substantially diluted in frequency by other more extensively proliferating cells originating from that donor cell population. We questioned how the slowly dividing population, which contained bona fide memory cells, differed from the rapidly dividing cells, which contained âmemory-likeâ cells. As a preliminary screen we performed a comparative genome-wide microarray analysis of genes expressed on sorted rapidly proliferating (CFSE-low) and slowly proliferating (CFSE-high) CD8 cell populations Experiment Overall Design: 2x10^7 CFSE-labeled, Ly5.1+, LCMV-Immune splenocytes were adoptively transferred into congenic T cell ko hosts. Splenocytes were harvested 12 days post-transfer and stained with anti-CD8 Ab, anti-Ly5.1 Ab and 7AAD. 7AAD negative cells were gated, and CFSE-low (> eight divisions) and CFSE-high (0-6 divisions) cells were sorted by flow cytometry using a FACStarPLUS sorter (BD Bioscience, Mountain View, CA). Total RNA was extracted from both CFSE-low and CFSE-high CD8+Ly5.1+ donor populations to compare rapidly vs. slowly dividing CD8 T cells during acute homeostatic proliferation via Affymetrix gene analysis.

mRNA expression profile of Lymphocytes by high-throuput sequencing

Project description:The activation of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells is crucial for the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against malignancy. We reprogrammed a Th clone specific for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-derived b3a2 peptide to pluripotency and re-differentiated the cells into T-lineage cells (iPS-T cells). Although iPS-T cells retained the same T-cell receptor (TCR) as the original Th clone, their gene expression patterns resembled those of group 1 innate lymphoid cells, and CD4 molecule, an essential co-receptor in TCR-mediated Th responses, was not expressed. The transduction of CD4 genes into iPS-T cells enhanced b3a2 peptide–specific responses. iPS-T cells contained a subpopulation that up-regulates CD40 ligand (CD40L) in response to IL-2 and IL-15. Besides CD4 expression, CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells induced antigen-specific DC maturation characterized by enhanced CD83, CD86, and CCR7. In the presence of Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) peptide, DCs conditioned by CD4-modified CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells stimulated the priming of WT1-specific CTLs. These CTLs eliminated WT1 peptide-expressing CML cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicate CD4 modification and purification of CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells generates T helper-like cells that induce effective anti-leukemic CTL responses via DC maturation and suggest feasibility of the cells for adoptive immunotherapy against leukemia.

Distinct gene expression profiles associated with the susceptibility of pathogen-specific CD4 T cells to HIV-1 infection

Project description:Analysis of global gene expression profiles of flow cytometry-sorted, different pathogen-specific CD4+ T cell populations from the same peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), to identify molecular parameters that regulate differential susceptibilities of these CD4+ T cells to HIV infection. The results reveal distinct gene expression profiles between CMV-specific and tetanus toxoid/Candida-specific CD4+ T cells that involved selective upregulation of comprehensive innate antiviral Total RNA extracted from CFSE-low, flow-sorted pathogen-specific CD4+ T cells were analyzed for global gene expression. Changes in gene expression were compared between CMV to combined TT/Candida, or TT/CMV and Candida/CMV.

Markers of persistent multifunctional memory CD4+ T cells in latent TB infection

Project description:In latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) spread of the bacteria is contained by a persistent immune response, which includes CD4+ T cells as important contributors. Here we show that TB-specific CD4+ T cells have a characteristic chemokine expression signature (CXCR3+CCR6+CCR4-; Th* cells), and that the overall number of Th* cells is significantly increased in LTBI donors. We have comprehensively characterized the transcriptional signature of Th* cells and find significant differences to conventional Th1, Th17 and Th2 cells, but no major changes between healthy and LTBI donors. Th* cells display linage-specific signatures of both Th1 and Th17 cells, but also have a unique gene expression program including genes associated with susceptibility to TB, enhanced T cell activation, enhanced cell survival, and induction of a cytotoxic program akin to CTL cells. Overall, the gene expression signature of Th* reveals characteristics of cells important in controlling latent infections.

Systemic inflammation drives rapid conversion of conventional CD4+ T cells to Treg in vivo.

Project description:The immune system faces a task that approximates cognition in its complexity as it processes a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic signals and integrates these into responses of the appropriate class, specificity, magnitude, and duration for a given threat, with the host’s life often depending on the outcome. CD4+ T lymphocytes occupy a unique role in the generation and regulation of immunity within this context and influence multiple innate and adaptive cell types. With respect to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), CD4+ T cells function early in the response as ‘helpers’ (TH) to increase its magnitude and functionality, and later as regulatory cells (Treg) to restore homeostasis and avoid immune pathology. Using a Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection model, we probed whether the conditions of initial pathogen encounter could influence the generation of TH versus Treg. Infection induces rapid polyclonal conversion to functional FoxP3+CD25+ Treg within 24 hours. These findings resolve long-standing questions regarding the requirement for TH and reveal a remarkable degree of plasticity in the function of CD4+ T cells, which can be quickly converted to Treg in vivo in response to acute inflammation.
