Malaria-specific Type 1 Regulatory T cells are more abundant in first pregnancies and associated with placental malaria [PBMCs RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: To investigate Tr1 cells and TNFa single expressing cells we stimulated PBMCs from primigravid women with VAR2CSA expressing P. falciparum and sorted CD4+ T cells expressing both IL10 and IFNg or only TNF

Project description:The role of Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2M-NM-1) activation in regulating macrophage transcriptional responses to Candida albicans infection was investigated. cPLA2M-NM-1 releases arachidonic acid for the production of eicosanoids. In mouse resident peritoneal macrophages, prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene C4 were produced within minutes of C. albicans addition before cyclooxygenase 2 expression. The production of TNFa was lower in C. albicans-stimulated cPLA2a+/+ than cPLA2a-/- macrophages due to an autocrine effect of prostaglandins that increased cAMP to a greater extent in cPLA2a+/+ than cPLA2a-/- macrophages. For global insight, differential gene expression in C. albicans-stimulated cPLA2a+/+ and cPLA2a-/- macrophages (3 h) was compared by microarray. cPLA2M-NM-1+/+ macrophages expressed 86 genes at lower levels and 181 genes at higher levels than cPLA2M-NM-1-/- macrophages (M-bM-^IM-%2-fold, p<0.05 ). Several pro-inflammatory genes were expressed at lower levels (Tnfa, Cx3cl1, Cd40, Ifng, several IFNg-inducible GTPases, Ccl5, Csf1, Edn1, CxCr7, Irf1, Irf4, Akna). Genes that dampen inflammation (Socs3, Il10, Crem, Stat3, Thbd, Thbs1, Abca1) and genes involved in host defense (Gja1, Csf3, Trem1, Hdc) were expressed at higher levels in cPLA2a+/+ macrophages. Representative genes expressed lower in cPLA2a+/+ macrophages (Tnfa and Csf1) were increased by treatment with a prostacyclin receptor antagonist and protein kinase A inhibitor, whereas genes expressed at higher levels (Crem, Nr4a2, Il10, Csf3) were suppressed. The results suggest that C. albicans stimulates an autocrine loop in macrophages involving cPLA2a, cyclooxygenase 1-derived prostaglandins and increased cAMP that globally effects expression of genes involved in host defense and inflammation. Resident peritoneal macrophages from Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2a) +/+ and -/- mice were stimulated with Candida albicans (m.o.i. 2) for 3 hours and RNA isolated to evaluate the role of cPLA2a-derived lipid mediators on gene expression. Three independent experiments were analyzed.
