Project description:Despite the prevalence and recognition of its detrimental impact, clinical complications of sepsis remain a major challenge. Here, we investigated the effects of myeloid ferritin heavy chain (FtH) in regulating the pathogenic sequelae of sepsis. We demonstrate that deletion of myeloid FtH leads to tolerance towards sepsis as evidenced by reduced serum cytokine levels, multi-organ dysfunction and subsequent mortality. We identified that such tolerance is predominantly mediated by the compensatory increase in circulating ferritin (ferritin light chain; FtL) in the absence of myeloid FtH. Our in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that prior exposure to ferritin provides significant tolerance to the septic process by restraining an otherwise dysregulated response to infection. These findings are mediated by an inhibitory action of ferritin on NF-κB activation and its downstream effects. Taken together, our findings suggest an essential immunomodulatory function for circulating ferritin and enhances our understanding of this acute phase reactant.

Project description:Purpose: To address whether FTH regulates gene expression in TREG cells, irrespective of bystander inflammation. For this, we compared the gene expression profile of TREG and Ex-TREG cells sorted from the lymph nodes of mixed BM chimeras Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped an average 30.14 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm39) and identified 34,321 transcripts in the mRNA of Treg and Ex-Treg cells from mixed bone marrow chimeras. Differential gene expression was performed using the DESeq2 R package (v.1.32) and gene expression was modeled by genotype and condition. Differentially expressed genes were considered for genes with an adjusted p-value<0.05 and an absolute log2 fold change>0. Conclusions: Analysis of RNAseq data showed that Fth deletion in TREG cells (CD45.2+GFP+tdT+) developing from the BM of Foxp3GFP-Fth∆/∆-tdT mice, up-regulated 149 genes and down-regulation of 96 genes, compared to TREG cells from control Foxp3GFP-tdT mice. Ex-TREG cells (CD45.2+GFP-tdT+) up-regulated 90 genes and down-regulated 36 genes. The genes regulated in TREG and ex-TREG cells originating from the BM of Foxp3GFP-Fth∆/∆-tdT vs. Foxp3GFP-tdT mice were associated with the oxidative stress response regulated by NRF2 . This suggests that FTH exerts cell-autonomous control of TREG cell redox homeostasis, irrespective of bystander inflammation.

Project description:Tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) invasion by metastatic cells in breast cancer correlates with poor prognosis and is associated with local immunosuppression, which can be partly mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here, we study Tregs from matched tumor-invaded and non-invaded TDLNs, and breast tumors. We observe that Treg frequencies increase with nodal invasion, that Tregs express higher levels of co-inhibitory/stimulatory receptors than effector cells. Also, while Tregs show conserved suppressive function in TDLN and tumor, conventional T cells (Tconvs) in TDLNs proliferate and produce Th1-inflammatory cytokines, but are dysfunctional in the tumor. We describe a common transcriptomic signature shared by Tregs from tumors and nodes, including CD80, which is significantly associated with poor patient survival. TCR RNA-sequencing analysis indicates trafficking between TDLNs and tumors and ongoing Tconv/Treg conversion. Overall, TDLN Tregs are functional and express a distinct pattern of druggable co-receptors, highlighting their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a key contributor to the life threatening sequalae attributed to sepsis. Mechanistically, SA-AKI is a consequence of unabated myeloid cell activation and oxidative stress that induces tubular injury. Iron mediates inflammatory pathways directly and through regulating the expression of myeloid-derived ferritin, an iron storage protein comprised of ferritin light (FtL) and ferritin heavy chain (FtH) subunits. Previous work revealed myeloid FtH deletion leads to a compensatory increase in intracellular and circulating FtL and is associated with amelioration of SA-AKI. We designed this study to test the hypothesis that loss of myeloid FtL and subsequently, circulating FtL will exacerbate the sepsis-induced inflammatory response and worsen SA-AKI. We generated a novel myeloid-specific FtL knockout mouse (FtLLysM-/-) and induced sepsis via cecal ligation and puncture or lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia. As expected, serum ferritin levels were significantly lower in the knockout mice, suggesting that myeloid cells dominantly contribute to circulating ferritin. Interestingly, while sepsis induction led to a marked production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, there was no statistical difference between the genotypes. There was a similar loss of kidney function, as evident by a rise in serum creatinine and cystatin C, and renal injury identified by expression of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin. Finally, RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of pathways for cell cycle arrest and autophagy post-sepsis, but no significant differences were observed between genotypes, including in key genes associated with ferroptosis, an iron-mediated form of cell death. The loss of FtL did not impact sepsis-mediated activation of NFkB or HIF-1a signaling, key inflammatory pathways associated with dysregulated host response. Taken together, while FtL overexpression was shown to be protective against sepsis, loss of FtL did not influence sepsis pathogenesis.

Project description:Intestinal Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets are crucial players for tolerance towards microbiota-derived and food-borne antigens, and compelling evidence suggests that intestinal microbiota modulate their differentiation and maintenance. Selected bacterial species and microbiota-derived metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been reported to foster Treg homeostasis in the intestinal lamina propria. Furthermore, gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) are particularly efficient sites of de novo Treg induction, and we could previously show that mLN stromal cells contribute to this process. Yet, it is not fully elucidated which direct role microbiota and their metabolites play for the early stages of de novo Treg induction and in shaping the Treg transcriptome already during the initial priming within mLNs. Here, we show that neither dysbiotic microbiota nor dietary SCFA supplementation impact de novo induction of Foxp3+ Tregs within mLNs. Even mice housed under germ-free (GF) conditions displayed equivalent frequencies of de novo induced Foxp3+ Tregs within mLNs. Further dissection of the accessible chromatin and transcriptome revealed that microbiota indeed have a limited impact on fostering the establishment of peripherally induced Tregs and do not contribute to the initialization of the epigenetic landscape for an extensive Treg signature. Viewed as a whole, our data suggest that microbiota are dispensable for the early stages of de novo Treg induction within mLNs, while being required to foster further Treg differentiation and homeostasis at later stages within the intestinal lamina propria.
