Project description:Autoimmune regulator (Aire) plays an indispensable role in the induction of central immune tolerance. We identify a novel subset of Rorγt-dependent innate lymphoid cell-type in secondary lymphoid organs, which presents endogenously generated antigens and contributes to peripheral T cell tolerance. In this experiment, transcriptomes of these Aire-ILC3 cells are characterized in wild-type Balb/C and Aire-/- Balb/C mice [Ramsey, C. et al. (2002) Hum Mol Genet 11:397-409] using RNA-seq method. To obtain the cells, peripheral lymph nodes were minced, enzymatically digested, and Aire-ILC3 cells were FACS-sorted as Lin-, MHCII+, CD80+, IL7Ra+ cells.

Project description:We show that thymic epithelial cells in the medulla (mTECs) that present self-antigens (self-Ags) to developing thymocytes for establishing immunological self-tolerance also express CTLA-4 if Aire, loss of which is responsible for the hereditary autoimmunity, is nonfunctional. Upon binding with its ligand, CD80 and CD86, expressed on thymic DCs, CTLA-4/ligand complex was internalized by Aire-deficient mTECs. This attenuated the ability of DCs to provide costimulatory signals and to present self-Ags, resulting in the reduced production of Tregs.

Project description:Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is a transcriptional regulator. We here assess the role for AIRE in primary human neutrophils. We found that the functional role for AIRE in neutrophils is to regulate the extrinsic apoptotic pathway involving the Fas/TNFR death receptors and Cathepsin G and the expression of unique immune mediators.

Project description:We explored the role of the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene in supporting fetal tolerance during pregnancy with transgenic diphtheria toxin receptor (Aire-DTR) mice, in which Aire-expressing populations can be deleted by injection of diptheria toxins (DT). Aire-expressing cell depletion was found to cause intruterine growth restriction (IUGR) in both allogenic and syngeneic pregnancies. This phenotype is immune-mediated, as IUGR is rescued in Rag1-deficient mice, and involves a memory response, as demonstrated by severe IUGR in second pregnancies. We further explored this phenotype through single-cell RNA sequencing of leukocytes obtained from the secondary lymphoid organs (uterine and non-uterine-draining lymph nodes) of wild-type (WT) and Aire-DTR pregnant dams during allogeneic pregnancy. Transciptomic data reveals a shift in population distributions from naïve to effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in Aire-DTR mice. Within the effector CD4+ compartment, there was a significant shift away from Tregs and toward mature T effectors, most notably T follicular helper (Tfh) and Th17 cells. These findings support the idea that Aire is essential in maintaining immune homeostasis.

Project description:To investigate the role of Aire in thymic selection, we examined the cellular requirements for generation of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells in mice expressing OVA under the control of the rat insulin promoter (RIP). Aire-deficiency reduced the number of mature single positive (SP) OVA-specific CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in the thymus, independent of OVA expression. Importantly, it also contributed in two way to OVA-dependent negative selection depending on the T cell type. Aire-dependent negative selection of OVA-specific CD8 T cells correlated with Aire-regulated expression of OVA. By contrast, for OVA-specific CD4 T cells, Aire affected tolerance induction by a mechanism that operated independent of the level of OVA expression, controlling access of antigen presenting cells to mTEC-expressed OVA. This study supports the view that one mechanism by which Aire controls thymic negative selection is by regulating the indirect presentation of mTEC-derived antigens by thymic dendritic cells. It also indicates that mTEC can mediate tolerance by direct presentation of Aireregulated antigens to both CD4 and CD8 T cells. Total RNA was extracted from medullary thymic epithelial cells isolated from wildtype and Aire-deficient C57BL/6 mice for comparison of gene expression profiles.

Project description:Because of their potent immunoregulatory capacity, dendritic cells (DCs) have been exploited as therapeutic tools to boost immune responses against tumors or pathogens, or dampen autoimmune or allergic responses. Murine bone marrow-derived DCs (BM-DCs) are the closest known equivalent of the blood monocyte-derived DCs that have been used for human therapy. Current imaging methods have proven unable to properly address the migration of injected DCs to small and deep tissues in mice and humans. This study presents the first extensive analysis of BM-DC homing to lymph nodes (and other selected tissues) after intravenous and intraperitoneal inoculation. Following intravenous delivery, DCs accumulated in the spleen, and preferentially in the pancreatic and lung-draining lymph nodes. In contrast, DCs injected intraperitoneally were found predominantly in peritoneal lymph nodes (pancreatic in particular), and in omentum-associated lymphoid tissue. This uneven distribution of BM-DCs, independent of the mouse strain and also observed within pancreatic lymph nodes, resulted in the uneven induction of an immune response in different lymphoid tissues. These data have important implications for the design of systemic cellular therapy with DCs, and in particular underlie a previously unsuspected potential for specific treatment of diseases such as autoimmune diabetes and pancreatic cancer. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
