Project description:We performed bulk RNA sequencing on murine CXCR3+ and CXCR3-negative live singlet IgM+ IgD-neg CD19+ CD138-neg (B1 B cell-like) peritoneal cavity B cells to compare the transcriptomes of the two populations following i.p. infection with the intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia muris. Total RNA was extracted and sequenced, followed by pseudoalignment, quality assessment, normalization, and analysis of differential gene expression. The CXCR3+ B1 B cell-like population was highly enriched for genes involved in proliferation, metabolism, and cell division, whereas the CXCR3- B1 B cell-like population transcriptionally resembled canonical B1 B cells and did not appear to be proliferative. These results suggest local proliferation of CXCR3+ B cells occurs in the peritoneal cavity during acute infection with an intracellular bacterium.

Project description:Coordinated communication among pancreatic islet cells is necessary for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. In diabetes, chronic exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines has been shown to perturb β-cell communication and function. Compelling evidence has implicated extracellular vesicles (EVs) in modulating physiological and pathological responses to β-cell stress. We report that pro-inflammatory β-cell small EVs (cytoEV) induce β-cell dysfunction, promote a pro-inflammatory islet transcriptome, and enhance recruitment of CD8+ T-cells and macrophages. Proteomic analysis of cytoEV revealed an enrichment of the chemokine, CXCL10, with surface topological analysis depicting CXCL10 as membrane-bound on cytoEV to facilitate direct binding to CXCR3 receptors on the surface of β-cells. CXCR3 receptor inhibition reduced CXCL10-cytoEV binding and attenuated β-cell dysfunction, inflammatory gene expression, and leukocyte recruitment to islets. Collectively, this work implicates the significant role of pro-inflammatory β-cell derived small EVs in modulating β-cell function, global gene expression, and antigen presentation through activation of the CXCL10/CXCR3 axis.

Project description:T cell receptors repertoire sequencing of the human CD8+ naive subsets (CXCR3-,CXCR3+)
| PRJEB31057 | ENA
Project description:The presented data corresponds to the analysis of two discrete subsets of human CD8+ naive T cells, defined by positive and negative expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 (TNR3-, TNR3+). In this study we demonstrated that these subsets have different potential to generate fully-differentiated effector T cells following antigen-specific stimulation. The performed systematic immune repertoire analysis (T cell receptor beta chain (TRB)) of the sorted cell subsets revealed diverse physico-chemical properties of TRB CDR3 sequences suggesting enhanced TCR self-reactivity in human TNR3+ cells. In total, we analyzed 74 samples (from 11 patients, 3 replicates of each cell subset (excluding one missing replicate) and additionally for 3 patients CD8+ memory T cells in 3 replicates). We used the Human TCR Profiling Kit (MiLaboratory LLC) for sequencing libraries preparation and Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencing (150+150bp) followed by the demultiplexing procedure using MIGEC software (https://github.com/mikessh/migec).

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote the development of many primary malignancies, but their function in metastatic progression is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that colonization of the lungs by metastatic breast cancer cells induces an inflammatory phenotype in lung fibroblasts. CXCL9 and CXCL10 are induced in an NFκB-dependent manner in metastasis-associated fibroblasts in response IL-1α and IL-1β secreted by disseminated breast cancer cells. We find that the chemokine receptor CXCR3, that binds CXCL9/10, is expressed in a small subset of breast cancer cells that exhibits greater tumor-initiating ability when co-transplanted with fibroblasts. CXCR3-expressing cancer cells maintain JNK signaling that drives IL-1A/B expression, and thus rendering this subpopulation efficient in both inducing CXCL9/10 in lung fibroblasts and responding to the chemokines. Importantly, disruption of the CXCL9/10-CXCR3 axis significantly reduces metastatic colonization in xenograft and syngeneic mouse models suggesting an essential role of this paracrine crosstalk in metastatic progression and a potential therapeutic vulnerability for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells are essential for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing excessive immune responses. In the context of Th1 immune responses, co-expression of the Th1 transcription factor T-bet with Foxp3 is essential for Treg cells to control Th1 responses. T-bet-dependent expression of CXCR3 directs Tregs to the site of inflammation, however, the suppressive mediators enabling effective control of Th1 responses at this site are unknown. In this study, we determined the signature of CXCR3+ Treg cells arising in Th1 settings and defined universal features of Treg cells in this context using multiple Th1-dominated models. Our analysis defined a set of Th1-specific co-inhibitory receptors that are specifically expressed in Treg cells during Th1 immune responses. Among these, we identified the novel co-inhibitory receptor CD85k as a functional mediator of the enhanced suppression of Th1 effector cells by CXCR3+ Treg cells.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with many transducers like G proteins and β-arrestins. Some GPCR agonists act as “biased agonists” which preferentially activate specific signaling transducers over others, leading to unique signaling profiles. The chemokine system, a subfamily of GPCRs that plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases, serves as an endogenous example of biased agonism where over 50 different chemokines ligands and 20 receptors interact promiscuously. In this study, we sought to determine the three different chemokines of the chemkoine receptor CXCR3 generate different transcriptional responses in primary CD8+ T cells. Using RNAseq on CD8+ T cells stimulated with either vehicle control, CXCL9, CXCL10, or CXCL11, the endogenous chemokines of CXCR3, we found that the CXCR3 chemokines promoted unique transcriptional responses that are predicted to differentially regulate inflammatory pathways. We observed significant changes in global transcriptional activation, detecting approximately 48000 transcripts, 887 of which varied by chemokine treatment. There was a high degree of replicability between biological replicates. The overwhelming majority of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) increased in transcript level following chemokine treatment. Compared to vehicle control, CXCL11 demonstrated the largest number of DEGs. Importantly, CXCL11 and CXCL10 demonstrate unique transcriptional profiles where the majority of DEGs were only found following treatment with each specific chemokine, rather than being shared across chemokines. These data contrast with that observed at CXCL9 – although it promoted a significant amount of transcriptional regulation, approximately 66% of CXCL9-induced DEGs were shared with CXCL11 and/or CXCL10.

Project description:HIV-1-specific broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) typically develop in individuals with continuous high-level viral replication and increased immune activation, conditions that cannot be reproduced during prophylactic immunization. Understanding mechanisms supporting bnAb development in the absence of high-level viremia may be important for designing bnAb-inducing immunogens. Here, we show that the breadth of neutralizing antibody responses in HIV-1 controllers was associated with a relative enrichment of circulating CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo CD4 T cells. These CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells were preferentially induced in vitro by functionally superior dendritic cells from controller neutralizers, and able to secrete IL-21 and support B cells. In addition, these CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells contain higher proportions of stem cell-like memory T cells, and upon antigenic stimulation differentiated into PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells in a Notch-dependent manner. Together, these data suggest that CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo cells represent a dendritic cell-primed precursor cell population for PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells that may contribute to the generation of bnAbs in the absence of high–level viremia.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment is to compare the host response of C57BL6/J mice to that of CXCR3 knockout mutant mice in response to SARS MA15 virus infections. Groups of 10 week old C57BL6 mice or CXCR3 knockout mice were infected with SARS MA15 at a dose of 10^5 PFU or mock infected. Mice were euthanized on days 2, 4 and 7 post infection to measure virus load and isolate samples for measurement of virus load, lung pathology, and transcriptional. Mock infected animals were also harvested at each time point. Mice were weighed every 24 hours to measure general disease progression and any mouse approaching 30% weight loss were euthanized.

Project description:Plexiform neurofibroma is a major contributor to morbidity in Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) patients. Macrophages and mast cells infiltrate neurofibroma, and data from mouse models implicate these leukocytes in neurofibroma development. Anti-inflammatory therapy targeting these cell populations has been suggested as a means to prevent neurofibroma development. Here, we compare gene expression in inflamed nerves from NF1 models which invariably form neurofibroma to those with inflammation driven by EGFR overexpression which rarely progresses to neurofibroma. We find that the chemokine Cxcl10 is uniquely up-regulated in NF1 mice that invariably develop neurofibroma. Global deletion of the Cxcl10 receptor Cxcr3 prevented neurofibroma development in these neurofibroma-prone mice. Cxcr3 expression localized to T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) in both inflamed nerves and neurofibromas. These data support a heretofore unappreciated role for T cells/DCs in neurofibroma initiation.
