Project description:Gut dysbiosis is closely involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it remains unclear whether IBD-associated gut dysbiosis plays a primary role in disease manifestation or is merely secondary to intestinal inflammation. Here, we established a humanized gnotobiotic (hGB) mouse system to assess the functional role of gut dysbiosis associated with two types of IBD - Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In order to explore the functional impact of dysbiotic microbiota in IBD patients on host immune responses, we analyzed gene expression profiles in colonic mucosa of hGB mice colonized with healty (HC), CD, and UC microbiota.

Project description:Crohn’s disease (CD) is one of the major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. CD is associated with aberrant Th1 and Th17 responses accompanied by high levels of IFN-g and IL-17, respectively. Protein kinase 2 (CK2) is a highly conserved serine-threonine kinase that is involved in several signal transduction pathways which regulate inflammatory responses. CK2 promotes Th17 cell differentiation and suppresses the generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. The function of CK2 in CD4+ T-cells during the pathogenesis of CD is unknown. We utilized T-cell induced colitis model, transferring CD45RBhi naïve CD4+ T-cells from CK2afl/fl littermate control and CK2afl/fldLck-Cre mice into Rag1-/- mice. We demonstrate that CD4+ T-cells from CK2afl/fldLck-Cre mice fail to induce wasting disease and significant intestinal inflammation, which is associated with decreased IL-17A+, IFN-g+ and double positive IL-17A+ IFN-g+ CD4+ T-cells in the spleen and colon. Further, we determine that CK2a regulates CD4+ T-cell proliferation through a cell-intrinsic manner. CK2a is also important in controlling CD4+ T-cell responses by regulating NFAT2, which is vital for T-cell activation and proliferation. Thus, our data demonstrate that CK2a contributes to the pathogenesis of colitis by promoting CD4+ T-cell proliferation and Th1 and Th17 responses, and that targeting CK2 kinase activity may be a novel therapeutic treatment for CD patients.

Project description:Antibiotics have long-lasting consequences on the gut microbiota with the potential to impact host physiology and health. However, little is known about the transgenerational impact of an antibiotic-perturbed microbiota. Here we demonstrated that adult pregnant female mice inoculated with a gut microbial community shaped by antibiotic exposure passed on their dysbiotic microbiota to their offspring. This dysbiotic microbiota remained distinct from controls for at least 5 months in the offspring without any continued exposure to antibiotics. By using IL-10 deficient mice, which are genetically susceptible to colitis, we showed mice that received an antibiotic-perturbed gut microbiota from their mothers had increased risk of colitis. Taken together, our findings indicate that the consequences of antibiotic exposure affecting the gut microbiota can extend to a second generation.

Project description:Intestinal microbial dysbiosis is associated with Crohn’s disease (CD). However, the mechanisms leading to the chronic mucosal inflammation that characterizes this disease remain unclear. To evaluate causality and mechanisms of disease, we conducted a systems level study of the interactions between the gut microbiota and host in new-onset pediatric patients. We report an altered host proteome in CD patients indicative of impaired mitochondrial functions. A downregulation of mitochondrial proteins implicated in H2S detoxification was observed, while the relative abundance of H2S microbial producers was increased. Network correlation analysis identified Atopobium parvulum as the central hub of H2S producers. Gnotobiotic and conventionalized colitis-susceptible interleukin-10-deficient (Il10-/-) mice demonstrated that A. parvulum induced colitis, a phenotype requiring the presence of the intestinal microbiota. Administration of bismuth, a H2S scavenger, prevented A. parvulum-induced colitis in Il10-/- mice. This study identified host-microbiota interactions that are disturbed in CD patients providing mechanistic insights on CD pathogenesis.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with dysregulated immune responses in the intestinal tissue. Four molecularly identified macrophage subsets control immune homeostasis in healthy gut. However, the specific roles and transcriptomic profiles of the phenotypically heterogeneous CD14+ macrophage-like population in inflamed gut remain to be investigated in Crohn’s disease (CD). Here we identified two phenotypically, morphologically and functionally distinct colonic HLADR+SIRPα+CD14+ subpopulations that were further characterized using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) in CD. Frequencies of CD64hiCD163−/dim cells selectively augmented in inflamed colon and correlated with endoscopic score of disease severity. IL-1β and IL-23-producing CD64hiCD163−/dim cells predominated over TNF-α-producing CD64hiCD163hi cells in lesions. Purified “inflammatory monocyte-like” CD163−, but not “macrophage-like” CD163hi cells, through IL-1β, promoted Th17/Th1 but not Th1 responses in tissue memory CD4+T cells. Unsupervised scRNAseq analysis that captures the entire HLADR+SIRPα+ population revealed six clusters, two of which were enriched in either CD163− or CD163hi cells, and best defined by TREM1/FCAR/FCN1/IL1RN or CD209/MERTK/MRCI/CD163L1 genes, respectively. Selected newly identified discriminating markers were used beyond CD163 to isolate cells that shared pro-Th17/Th1 function with CD163− cells. In conclusion, a molecularly distinct pro-inflammatory CD14+ subpopulation accumulates in inflamed colon, drives intestinal inflammatory T-cell responses, and thus, might contribute to CD disease severity.

Project description:The investigators recently identified promiscuous HLA-DR-derived epitopes from the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) called universal cancer peptides (UCP), to study tumor-specific CD4+ T cell responses.
The investigators found high frequency of naturally occuring UCP-specific TH1 cells in long term survival of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) previously treated by 5 fluoro-uracil -oxaliplatin (Folfox) +/- bevacizumab regiment (Godet et al. OncoImmunology 2012 and unpublished data).
Epitopes-CRC02 is a French prospective multicenter study which will evaluate the post chemotherapy and post surgery modulation of host tumor-specific CD4 TH1 cell responses in metastatic colorectal cancer patients and their correlation with progression-free survival.

Project description:Objectives: To better understand the interplay of diet and gut microbiota in Crohn’s disease (CD), taking advantage of a newly-onset treatment naïve CD cohort. We focus on phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), a diet-derived meta-organismal prothrombotic metabolite. Design: We collected fecal and serum samples prior to treatment in a newly-onset CD cohort (n=262). Plasma PAGln was quantified using LC-MS/MS. Platelet count and mean platelet volume were determined. Diet was assessed using food-frequency questionnaires. Human platelet rich plasma (n=5-6) was primed with PAGln, P-selectin and CD40L expression were determined after exposure to platelet agonists. Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice (C57BL/6) were given phenylacetylglycine (PAGly, the mouse-prevalent metabolite) or saline, colitis severity and colonic tissue gene expression were examined. Mice (C57BL/6) were given isocaloric high protein and low protein diet for 18 days, followed by DSS administration in water. Plasma PAGly was quantified and colitis severity was examined. Bioinformatic analysis and bacterial culturing were performed to identify the main contributor of PAGln in CD. Results: Phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), a meta-organismal prothrombotic metabolite, is associated with CD. PAGln enhanced platelet activation and CD40L expression in platelet rich plasma ex vivo. Administration of PAGly exacerbated colitis in mouse model and upregulated coagulation-related biological processes. Further study revealed that high dietary protein intake and increased abundance of phenylacetic acid (PAA)-producing Proteobacteria mediated by phenylpyruvate decarboxylase act in concert to cause the elevated PAGln levels in CD patients. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that PAGln is a potential early diagnostic marker and therapeutic target of CD.

Project description:Carbo2013 - Cytokine driven CD4+ T Cell differentiation and phenotype plasticity
CD4+ T cells can differentiate into different phenotypes
depending on the cytokine milieu. Here a computational and mathematical model with sixty ordinary differential equations representing a CD4+ T cell differentiating into either Th1, Th2, Th17 or iTreg cells, has been constructed.
The model includes cytokines,
nuclear receptors and transcription factors that define fate
and function of CD4+ T cells. Computational simulations
illustrate how a proinflammatory Th17 cell can undergo
reprogramming into an anti-inflammatory iTreg phenotype
following PPARc activation.
This model is described in the article:

Abstract:
Differentiation of CD4+ T cells into effector or regulatory phenotypes is tightly controlled by the cytokine milieu, complex intracellular signaling networks and numerous transcriptional regulators. We combined experimental approaches and computational modeling to investigate the mechanisms controlling differentiation and plasticity of CD4+ T cells in the gut of mice. Our computational model encompasses the major intracellular pathways involved in CD4+ T cell differentiation into T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, Th17 and induced regulatory T cells (iTreg). Our modeling efforts predicted a critical role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in modulating plasticity between Th17 and iTreg cells. PPARγ regulates differentiation, activation and cytokine production, thereby controlling the induction of effector and regulatory responses, and is a promising therapeutic target for dysregulated immune responses and inflammation. Our modeling efforts predict that following PPARγ activation, Th17 cells undergo phenotype switch and become iTreg cells. This prediction was validated by results of adoptive transfer studies showing an increase of colonic iTreg and a decrease of Th17 cells in the gut mucosa of mice with colitis following pharmacological activation of PPARγ. Deletion of PPARγ in CD4+ T cells impaired mucosal iTreg and enhanced colitogenic Th17 responses in mice with CD4+ T cell-induced colitis. Thus, for the first time we provide novel molecular evidence in vivo demonstrating that PPARγ in addition to regulating CD4+ T cell differentiation also plays a major role controlling Th17 and iTreg plasticity in the gut mucosa.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Mutations in the innate immune receptor AIM2 are frequently identified in patients with colorectal cancer, but how AIM2 modulates colonic tumorigenesis is unknown. Here, we found that Aim2-deficient mice were hypersusceptible to colonic tumor development. Production of inflammasome-associated cytokines and other inflammatory mediators were largely intact in Aim2-deficient mice, however, intestinal stem cells were prone to uncontrolled proliferation. Aberrant Wnt signaling expanded a population of tumor-initiating stem cells in the absence of AIM2. Susceptibility of Aim2-deficient mice to colorectal tumorigenesis was enhanced by a dysbiotic gut microbiota, which was reduced by reciprocal exchange of gut microbiota with wild-type healthy mice. These findings uncover a synergy between a specific host genetic factor and gut microbiota in determining the susceptibility to colorectal cancer. Therapeutic modulation of AIM2 expression and microbiota has the potential to prevent colorectal cancer. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome Aim2 deficent mice to wild type mice in colon tumor and colitis samples. Here were 12 mice in total, 3 for each genotype and tissue combination.
