Project description:Interleukin-33 (IL-33), a member of the IL-1 superfamily cytokines, is an endogenous danger signal and a nuclear-associated cytokine. It is one of the essential mediators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Aberrant IL-33 signaling has been demonstrated to play a defensive role against various infectious and inflammatory diseases. Although the signaling responses mediated by IL-33 have been previously reported, the temporal signalingdynamicsare yet to be explored. Towards this end,we applied quantitative temporal phosphoproteomics analysis to elucidate pathways and proteins induced by IL-33 in THP1 monocytes. Employing TMT labeling-based quantitation and titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based phosphopeptide enrichment strategy followed by mass spectrometry analysis, we identified 14,515 phosphorylation sites mapping to 4,174 proteins across (0 min to 240 mins)time points.

Project description:Background: Identifying the immune components that are regulated by a2NTD, a peptide cleaved from the N-terminus of the a2 vacuolar ATPase. Methods: In this study, we used pathway-focused PCR arrays to determine the genes that are regulated in human monocytic cell line, THP-1 after a2NTD stimulation over time. Results: a2NTD up-regulated several cytokines including IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-10. Several chemokines were also upregulated including the MCP and MIP families. Conclusion: We believe a2NTD to be an immune modulator made by tumor cells that aid in preventing immune surveillance by up-regulating proteins in monocytes that are both pro-and anti-inflammatory in nature. The Human Inflammatory Response and Autoimmunity RTM-BM-2 ProfilerM-bM-^DM-" PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 key genes involved in autoimmune and inflammatory immune responses. It represents the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines as well as their receptors. It also contains genes related to the metabolism of cytokines and involved in cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. Thoroughly researched panels of genes involved in the acute-phase response, inflammatory response, and humoral immune responses are represented as well. Using real-time PCR, you can easily and reliably analyze expression of a focused panel of genes related to inflammatory and autoimmune responses with this array.

Project description:Cytokines mediate cell-cell communication in the immune system and represent important therapeutic targets. While there have been in-depth studies of individual cytokines, we lack a global view of the responses of each major immune cell type to each cytokine. To address this gap we created the Immune Dictionary — a compendium of single-cell transcriptomic profiles of over 17 immune cell types in response to each of 86 cytokines in murine lymph nodes in vivo. A cytokine-centric view of the dictionary revealed that most cytokines induce highly cell-type-specific responses. For example, the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β induced distinct gene programs in almost every cell type. A cell-type-centric view identified both known and previously uncharacterized cytokine-induced polarization states in every immune cell type, such as a polyfunctional state of NK cells induced by IL-18. Based on the dictionary, we developed companion software, Immune Response Enrichment Analysis (IREA), for assessing immune cell polarization and cytokine activities in any transcriptomic data, and applied it to infer cytokine networks in tumors following immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Our dictionary generates new hypotheses for cytokine functions, illuminates pleiotropic effects of cytokines, expands our knowledge of activation states in each immune cell type, and provides a framework to deduce the roles of specific cytokines and cell-cell communication networks in any immune response.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are specialized fenestrated scavenger endothelial cells involved in the elimination of modified plasma proteins and tissue turnover waste macromolecules from blood. LSECs also participate in liver immune responses. A challenge when studying LSEC biology is the rapid loss of the in vivo cell phenotype in culture. In this study, we have examined biological processes and pathways affected during early-stage primary culture of rat LSECs and checked for cell responses to the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone. Methods: LSECs from male Sprague Dawley rats were cultured on type I collagen in a 5% oxygen atmosphere in DMEM with serum-free supplements for 2 and 24 h. Quantitative proteomics using tandem mass tag technology were used to examine proteins in cells and supernatants. Validation was done with ELISA and multiplex immunobead assays, cell ultrastructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and scavenger function by quantitative endocytosis assays. Results: LSECs cultured for 24 h showed a characteristic pro-inflammatory phenotype both in the presence and absence of IL-1, displaying upregulation of cellular responses to cytokines and interferon-, cell-cell adhesion, and glycolysis, and downregulation of membrane/endocytosis receptors (MCAM, STAB1, STAB2, LYVE1, CLEC4G) and proteins involved in pyruvate metabolism, citric acid cycle, fatty acid elongation, amino acid metabolism, and oxidation-reduction processes. Dexamethasone improved LSEC viability in culture and repressed the culture-induced stimulation of glycolysis, inflammatory and immune regulatory pathways, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines while increasing IL-10 secretion compared to time-matched control. The number of sieve plates in LSECs was reduced at 24 h both in the presence and absence of dexamethasone but the dexamethasone-treated cells showed a more quiescent phenotype. Conclusion: Rat LSECs become activated towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype during early culture. Dexamethasone represses LSEC activation and improves cell viability.

Project description:Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is an alternative ligand to colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) for the CSF-1 receptor that acts as a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage lineage. In this study, we show that cancer cells-derived IL-34 mediates resistance to immune checkpoint blockade regardless of CSF-1 existence. In a therapeutic study of a programmed death-1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 blocking monoclonal antibody, the expression of IL-34 in tumors was accompanied with limited benefits compared to IL-34 non-expressing tumors in various murine cancer models. Consistent with its immunosuppressive characteristics, the expression of IL-34 in tumors correlates with decreased frequencies of cellular (such as CD8+ and CD4+ T cells) and molecular (including various cytokines and chemokines) effectors at the tumor microenvironment. In addition, IL-34 blockade expands the M1-macrophage population. Then, a neutralizing antibody against IL-34 helped to reverse these effects and improved the therapeutic effects of the immune checkpoint blockade in combinatorial therapeutic models, including a patient-derived xenograft model of primary lung adenocarcinoma. Collectively, we revealed that tumor-derived IL-34 inhibits the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade and proposed the utility of IL-34 blockade as a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin for which no cure has emerged. Its complex etiology requires the development of an in vitro model that appropriately recapitulates the physiopathology of this disease. In this study, we exploited the self-assembly method in order to develop a new tissue-engineered model of psoriatic skin substitutes. To circumvent the addition of immune cells, we supplemented the reconstructed psoriatic substitutes with a cocktail of four cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6 and IL-17, and monitored their impact on global gene expression by DNA microarray. The cytokines-supplemented substitutes have a more irregular epidermis, with protuberances and much thinner areas. Most interestingly, gene profiling on microarrays identified several genes reported as being deregulated psoriasis skin in vivo. Indeed, expression of the S100A12, IL8, DEFB4A and KYNU genes increased dramatically compared to their level in normal skin substitutes (P <0.005 to <0.05). In addition, the ACSBG1 gene, reported to be repressed in psoriasis, was also repressed in the cytokines-supplemented psoriatic substitutes compared to the controls (P <0.005). The product encoded by the genes deregulated in the cytokines-supplemented substitutes belong to biological pathways, such as the inflammatory and the immune responses, that are similarly altered in psoriasis in vivo. In conclusion, addition of cytokines to involved psoriatic substitutes alters the transcriptome of these cells in a manner similar to that observed with psoriasis in vivo. The addition of this pro-inflammatory cocktail, comparable cytokine in vivo psoriasis, prepares us for the next step: the characterization of the model once added immune cells. Tissue-engineered psoriatic human skin (TEPHS) cultivated with (number of replicates: 3) or without (number of replicates: 3) Cytokines (IL-17a, IL-6, IL1a, TNF-a).

Project description:Our group recently described a population of antigen presenting cells that appear to be critical in psoriasis pathogenesis, termed inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells (CD11c+ BDCA1-). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type-1 (TREM-1) signaling was a major canonical pathway in the published transcriptome of these cells. TREM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, active through the DAP12 signaling pathway, with an unknown ligand. Activation through TREM-1 induces inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, MCP/CCL2 and TNF. We now show that TREM-1 was expressed in the skin of healthy and psoriatic patients, and there was increased soluble TREM-1 in the circulation of psoriasis patients. In psoriasis lesions, TREM-1 was co-localized with dendritic cells as well as CD31+ endothelial cells. TREM-1 expression was reduced with successful NB-UVB, etanercept and anti-IL-17 treatments. An in vitro model of PGN-activated monocytes as inflammatory myeloid DCs was developed to study TREM-1 blockade, and treatment with a TREM-1 blocking chimera decreased allogeneic Th17 activation, as well as IL-17 production. Furthermore, TREM-1 blockade of ex vivo psoriatic dendritic cells in an alloMLR also showed a decrease in IL-17. Together, these data suggest that the TREM-1 signaling pathway offers a novel therapeutic target to prevent the effects of inflammatory myeloid DCs in psoriasis. Monocytes were isolated by plastic adherence, treated with TLR agonists overnight, washed twice and harvested in RTL-buffer. RNA was extracted and processed for microarray. 3 groups and 3 replicates with a paired structure across replicates

Project description:Engineered cytokine-based approaches for immunotherapy of cancer are poised to enter the clinic, with IL-12 being at the forefront. However, little is known about potential mechanisms of resistance to cytokine therapies. We found that orthotopic murine lung tumors were resistant to systemically delivered IL-12 fused to murine serum albumin (MSA, IL12-MSA) due to low IL-12R expression on tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. IL2-MSA increased binding of IL12-MSA by tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells, and combined administration of IL12-MSA and IL2-MSA led to enhanced tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell effector differentiation, decreased numbers of tumor-infiltrating CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, and increased survival of lung tumor-bearing mice. Predictably, the combination of IL-2 and IL-12 at therapeutic doses led to significant dose-limiting toxicity. Administering IL-12 and IL-2 analogs with preferential binding to cells expressing IL12rb1 and CD25, respectively, led to a significant extension of survival in mice with lung tumors while abrogating dose-limiting toxicity. These findings suggest that IL-12 and IL-2 represent a rational approach to combination cytokine therapy whose dose-limiting toxicity can be overcome with engineered cytokine variants.

Project description:Inflammation is the natural defensive response of the immune system to an injury or infection and is regulated by small molecule mediators triggering different phases of the inflammatory process. In particular, lipid mediators (LM) and cytokines exhibit crucial regulatory functions in the progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages play a central role in this process and can adopt distinct phenotypes with specialized functions depending on their microenvironment: inflammatory M1 macrophages drive inflammation by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and LMs, like prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT), while resolving M2 macrophages promote inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration by production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and specialized pro resolving mediators (SPM). Aging is associated with chronic and unresolved, low-grade inflammation (“inflammaging”) and aging-related dysfunction of macrophages in the resolution of inflammation and tissue maintenance has been reported. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of latter processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that polarization of peritoneal macrophages (PM) from geriatric mice towards an M2-like phenotype is impaired versus adult mice, resulting in aberrant LM formation and cytokine release. In PMs isolated from adult mice (PM-A) we observed a shift in LM formation from PGs and LTs to SPMs already after 4 h of polarization towards M2 with interleukin (IL) 4. In contrast, PMs from geriatric mice (PM-G) produced mainly LTs and PGs upon polarization. This pattern persists over the course of 48 h of polarization. Proteomic profiling revealed that polarization of PM A towards M2 yields a more distinct phenotype, clearly separated from M1, when compared to PM-G. We observed similar aging-related changes in the lipidome and cytokine profile of spleen, lung and liver tissue from mice. Hence, we hypothesize that during aging macrophage polarization towards M2 is impaired, which in turn drives chronic inflammation and disturbs tissue maintenance. By combining state-of-the art lipidomic and proteomic profiling we aim to uncover new molecular targets for pharmaceutical interventions to improve therapeutic strategies for elderly patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Monocytes from patients with type 2 immune disorders exhibited an augmented inflammatory response upon LPS stimulation. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated significant upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-12, and IL-1b. Moreover, there was a conspicuous enrichment of signaling pathways associated with inflammation. ATAC sequencing revealed heightened chromatin accessibility in patient monocytes, particularly in the promoter regions of inflammatory genes.
