ABSTRACT: We report RNA sequencing data that shows the differential effects of HLA-DRb1*0301 (LE), HLA-DRb1*0401 (SE) and HLA-DRb1*0402 (PE) on macrophage gene expression under IFNγ cell culture conditions.

Project description:HLA DRB1*15:01 is overrepresentated in Parkinson's disease patients and binds with high affinity to the ⍺-synuclein peptide, 32-46. Immunization of humanized mice expressing HLA DRB1*15:01 with ⍺-syn32-46 induces enteric phenotypes similar to those of prodromal Parkinson's disease. We collected the ileum from HLA mice immunized with either Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) with ⍺-syn32-46 or CFA alone, and sequenced the tissue with bulk RNA sequencing at 21 days post immunization to determine changes in gene expression.

Immunization of humanized mice expressing HLA DRB1*15:01 with ⍺-syn32-46 induces enteric phenotypes similar to those of prodromal Parkinson's disease. We collected the small intestines from HLA mice immunized with either Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) with ⍺-syn32-46 or CFA alone, sorted the CD45+ immune cells, then performed single-cell RNA sequencing to evaluate gene expression at single cell resolution.
Project description:Human CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in inducing potent immune responses. They are activated and stimulated by peptides presented in Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II molecules. These MHC class II molecules typically present peptides of between 12 and 20 amino acids in length. The region that interacts with the MHC molecule, designated as the binding core, is highly conserved in the residues which anchor the peptide to the molecule. In addition, as these peptides are the product of proteolytic cleavages, certain conserved residues may be expected at the N- and C-termini outside the binding core. To study whether similar conserved residues are present in different types of cells , the ligandomes of HLA-DRB1*03:01 derived from two different cell types (dendritic cells and EBV-transformed B-cells) were identified with mass spectrometry and the binding core and N- and C-terminal residues were analysed using the frequencies of the amino acids in the human proteome. Similar binding motifs were found as well as comparable conservations in the N- and C-terminal residues. Furthermore, these terminal conservations of the HLA-DRB1*03:01 ligandome were compared to the N- and C-terminal conservations of the HLA-DRB1*04:01 ligandome acquired from dendritic cells. Again, comparable conservations were evident with only minor differences. Taken all together, these analyses show that there are conservations in the terminal residues of peptides, presumably the result of the activity of proteases involved in antigen processing.
