Project description:CX3CL1 was discovered as a chemokine, and is best known to function via interaction with its receptor CX3CR1. However, in this study, we report a unique role of CX3CL1 that is independent from this pathway. We show that CX3CL1 is naturally shedded by both α- and β-secretase. The membrane-anchored C-terminal fragment is further cleaved by γ-secretase to release the CX3CL1 intracellular domain (CX3CL1-ICD), which is translocated into the cell nucleus to control gene expression. Among the regulated genes, we noted prominent induction of TGFβ2/TGFβ3 signaling in cultured cells by CX3CL1-ICD. Mice overexpressing only the C-terminal fragment (Tg-CX3CL1-ct) strongly induced TGFβ3 expression, as evidenced by Western and RNAseq analyses. Phenotypically, Tg-CX3CL1-ct mice exhibited enhanced neurogenesis both during development and in adulthood. Enhanced adult neurogenesis was seen in both the subgranular zone and the subventricular zone. Together, we demonstrate that CX3CL1-ct has a back-signaling function by enhancing neurogenesis through TGFβ3 and other genes important for neurogenesis. Induction CX3CL1 back signaling may be a promising novel mechanism to replenish neuronal loss.

Project description:Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains an important cause of morbidity in the general population and risk for ASCVD is increased approximately 2-fold in persons living with HIV infection (PLWH). This risk is linked to elevated CD8 T cell counts that are abundant in atherosclerotic plaques and have been implicated in disease pathogenesis yet the mechanisms driving T cell recruitment to and activation within plaques are poorly defined. Here we investigated the role of CD8 T cells in atherosclerosis in a non-human primate model of HIV infection and in the HIV-uninfected elderly; we sought to identify factors that promote the activation, function, and recruitment to endothelium of CX3CR1+ CD8 T cells. We measured elevated expression of CX3CL1 and IL-15, and increased CD8 T cell numbers in the aortas of rhesus macaques infected with SIV or SHIV, and demonstrated similar findings in atherosclerotic vessels of HIV-uninfected humans. We found that recombinant TNF enhanced the production and release of CX3CL1 and bioactive IL-15 from aortic endothelial cells, but not from aortic smooth muscle cells. IL-15 in turn promoted CX3CR1 surface expression on and TNF synthesis by CD8 T cells, and IL-15-treated 60 CD8 T cells exhibited enhanced CX3CL1-dependent chemoattraction toward endothelial cells in vitro. Finally, we show that CD8 T cells in human atherosclerotic plaques have an activated, resident phenotype consistent with in vivo IL-15 and CX3CL1 exposure. In this report, we define a novel model of CD8 T cell involvement in atherosclerosis whereby CX3CL1 and IL-15 operate in tandem within the vascular endothelium to promote infiltration by activated CX3CR1+ memory CD8 T cells that drive further endothelial activation via TNF. We propose that these interactions are prevalent in aging and in PLWH, populations where circulating activated CX3CR1+ CD8 T cell numbers are often expanded.

Project description:Muscle injury triggers inflammation in which infiltrating mononuclear phagocytes are crucial for tissue regeneration. The interaction of the CCL2/CCR2 and CX3CL1/CX3CR1 chemokine axis that guides phagocyte infiltration is incompletely understood. Here, we show that CX3CR1 deficiency promotes muscle repair and rescues Ccl2-/- mice from impaired muscle regeneration as a result of altered macrophage function, not infiltration. Transcriptomic analysis of muscle mononuclear phagocytes reveals that Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is up-regulated in mice with efficient regeneration. ApoE treatment enhances phagocytosis by mononuclear phagocytes in vitro, and restores phagocytic activity and muscle regeneration in Ccl2-/- mice. Because CX3CR1 deficiency may compensate for defective CCL2-dependant monocyte recruitment by modulating ApoE-dependent macrophage phagocytic activity, targeting CX3CR1 expressed by macrophages might be a powerful therapeutic approach to improve muscle regeneration.

Project description:To assess changes in expression level of various chemokines and their receptors on diet-induced obesity, we analysed gene expression in adipose tissue of C56BL/6J mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet or normal chow diet for 8 weeks. HF diet-induced obese (DIO) mice showed adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Comprehensive gene expression analysis showed that MCP-1–CCR2 and CCL5–CCR5 signalling in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) were enhanced during the development of obesity. Surprisingly, the gene expression of Cx3cl1 was decreased in the eWAT of DIO mice compared with lean mice. While Cx3cr1 expression showed no significant difference between DIO and lean mice. Decreased CX3CL1-CX3CR1 signalling in adipose tissue may also be involved in the development of obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance.

Project description:This experiment is a part of the larger study on angiotensin II role in the upregulation of the CX3CL1 expression and its release in human first trimester placenta. CX3CL1 (or fractalkine) is chemokine involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension, which can be secreted by trophoblasts, initiating the cross talk with monocytes. Thus, we performed the microarray experiment to study the effects of recombinant human CX3CL1 on the transcriptome of human primary monocytes.

Project description:CX3CR1, one of the highest expressed genes in microglia in mice and humans, is implicated in numerous microglial functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Cx3cr1 signaling are not well understood. Here, we analyzed transcriptomes of Cx3cr1-deficient microglia under varying conditions by RNA-Seq. In 2 mos mice, Cx3cr1 deletion resulted in the downregulation of a subset of immune-related genes, without substantial epigenetic changes in markers of active chromatin. Surprisingly, Cx3cr1-deficient microglia from young mice exhibited a transcriptome consistent with that of aged Cx3cr1-sufficient animals, suggesting a premature aging transcriptomic signature. Immunohistochemical analysis of microglia in young and aged mice revealed that loss of Cx3cr1 modulates microglial morphology in a compatible fashion. Our results suggest that CX3CR1 may regulate microglial function in part by modulating the expression levels of a subset of inflammatory genes during chronological aging, making Cx3cr1-deficient mice useful for studying aged microglia.

Project description:Memory T cells are important for protective immunity against infectious microorganisms. Such protection is achieved by cooperative action of memory T cell populations that differ in their tissue localization and functionality. We report on the identification of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 as marker for stratification of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function from those with proliferative function in both, mice and man. Based on CX3CR1 and CD62L expression levels four distinct memory T cell populations can be distinguished based on their functional properties. Transcriptome and proteome profiling revealed that CX3CR1 expression was superior to CD62L to resolve memory T cell functionality and allowed determination of a core signature of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function. This identifies a CD62Lhi CX3CR1+ memory T cell population with an identical gene signature to CD62LlowCX3CR1+ effector memory T cells. In lymph nodes, this so far unrecognized CD62LhiCX3CR1+ T cell population shows a distinct migration pattern and anatomic positioning compared to CD62LhiCX3CR1neg TCM. Furthermore, CX3CR1+ memory T cells were scarce or absent during chronic HBV, HCV and HIV infection in man and chronic LCMV infection in mice confirming the value of CX3CR1+ in understanding principles of protective immune memory. CD8+ T cells were isolated and directly assessed or incubated with DC or LSEC. After harvesting, cells were immediately lysed in Trizol (Invitrogen) before storage at -80°C for RNA isolation.

Project description:During chronic viral infection, pathogen-specifc CD8+ T cells develop into three main phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets: TCF1hi progenitor, PD-1hi exhausted, and recently identied CX3CR1+ cytotoxic effector cells. Although genetic programs governing progenitor and exhausted subset formation have been well-studied, how CX3CR1+ effector CD8+ T cell differentiation is transcriptionally and epigentically regulated remains elusive. In this study, our single cell transcriptomics and epigenetic assays revealed that three subsets of virus-specific cells were governed by distinct gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and epigenetic landscapes. Computational analyses demonstrated a striking similarity between the CX3CR1+ subset and short-live effector cells (SLECs) from acute LCMV infection. Consistently, genetic deletion of T-bet (Tbx21) significantly diminished the formation and function of the CX3CR1+ subset. Importantly, we identify that the transcription factor (TF) BATF is required to maintain a permissive chromatin structure that allows differentiation transition from TCF1+ progenitor to CX3CR1+ effector cells. Intriguingly, haplodificiency of BATF in CD8+ T cells abolished CX3CR1+ effector subset formation. Lastly, we found that BATF directly bound to key genetic regions such as Tbx21 and modulated their enhancer accessibility to facilitate progenitor to CX3CR1+ effector cell transition. These mechanistic insights can be harnessed to overcome T cell exhaustion in treating chronic infections and cancer.
