Project description:Commensal immune tolerance requires cells that actively sense and suppress inflammation. To understand how commensal tolerance works, mice colonized with recombinant Candida albicans expressing model MHC II peptide 2W1S were used to track CD4 cells with surrogate commensal specificity by tetramer staining and enrichement. Interestingly, half of the commensal CD4 cell lack expression of established T helper lineage defining transcription markers after intranuclear staining and flow cytometry. To more comprehensively investigate commensal cells, FACS sorted commensal CD4 cells with commensal specificity were analysed individually using single cell RNA sequencing.

Project description:<p>The etiologies of primary immunodeficiencies often yield novel insights about the immune system. Although a genetic etiology has been suspected for patients with abnormally low CD4+ T cells in the absence of HIV infection or any known causes of lymphopenia, no genetic mutation has been described to date for any case of primary CD4 lymphopenia. In this study, we characterized a non-consanguineous family with two non-HIV infected boys exhibiting an inverted CD4 to CD8 T cell ratio and a history of recurrent chronic viral infections since birth. Consistent with a decreased thymic output of CD4+ T cells, the percentage of CD31+ cells in the CD4+ naive population of these patients was decreased. In addition, the activation of T cells was significantly impaired in the patient upon TCR stimulation. Given the mother's T cells show completely skewed X chromosome inactivation, we suspected that the nature of this disease is X-linked. We performed X-chromosome exon-capture targeted single-end Solexa sequencing on two brothers and the mother and found a 10 base pair deletion at an intron-exon junction of Magnesium Transporter 1 (MAGT1), a Mg<sup>2+</sup> specific transporter. We confirmed that this deletion leads to altered splicing, frameshift, early termination of the mRNA, and deficient protein expression in the lymphocytes of the two patients. Moreover, knockdown of this transporter in T cells isolated from healthy donors can recapitulate the observed T cell activation defect while its ectopic expression in the patients' lymphocytes can restore T cell stimulation. Our discovery highlights the significance of this transporter to T cell function.</p>

Project description:CD4+ T cells specific for commensal bacterial antigens are expanded in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients compared to healthy individuals. How and where commensal-specific CD4+ T cells get activated is yet to be fully understood. We used TCR-transgenic CD4+ T cells specific to a commensal bacterial antigen (CBir1 T cells) and the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model of IBD to characterize how and where the activation of commensal-specific CD4+ T cells occurs. We found that CBir1 T cells proliferate following intestinal damage and cognate antigen presentation is mediated by CD11c+ cells in the colon-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (cMLNs). Using assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and flow cytometry, we showed that activated CBir1 T cells preferentially acquire an effector rather than regulatory phenotype, which is plastic over time.

Project description:Different dynamics of gene expression are observed during cell differentiation. In T-cells, genes that are turned on early, or turned off and stay off have been thoroughly studied. However, genes that are initially turned off but then turned on again after stimulation has ceased have not been defined; they are obviously important, especially in the context of acute versus chronic inflammation. Using the Th1/Th2 differentiation paradigm, we found that Cxxc1 subunit of the Trithorax complex directs transcription of genes initially downregulated by TCR stimulation but upregulated again in a later phase. The late upregulation of these genes was impaired either by prolonged TCR stimulation or Cxxc1-deficiency, which led to decreased expression of Trib3 and Klf2 in Th1 and Th2 cells, respectively. Loss of Cxxc1 resulted in enhanced pathogenicity in allergic airway inflammation in vivo. Thus, Cxxc1 plays essential roles in the establishment of a proper CD4+ T-cell immune system via epigenetic control of a specific set of genes.

Project description:Analysis of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells. Results indicate regulatory T cell (Treg) ontogenesis requires two independent processes, expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 and establishment of Treg epigenetic programs induced by T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. GFP+CD4+ and GFP-CD4+ splenocytes were sorted from DEREG and DEREG/Scurfy mice. These cells were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies, and then transduced with Foxp3-expressing retrovirus (pGCSamIN, NGFR marker). NGFR+ T cells sorted were subjected to microarray analysis (Affymetrix, mouse genome 430 2.0 array). To normalize the experimental conditions, Tregs (GFP+ T cells from DEREG) and Tconv (GFP- T cells from DEREG) were also activated and transduced with empty vector. Two replicates each.

Project description:Though T cell expansion and effector differentiation are triggered and, perhaps, maintained by antigen, the proliferative behaviors of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells responding to timed antigen presentation have rarely been compared side by side. Proliferation and effector differentiation of TCR transgenic and polyclonal T cells were analyzed following transient and continuous TCR signals. We found CD4+ T cell proliferation to be dependent on prolonged antigen presence, whereas CD8+ T cells were able to divide and differentiate into effector cells in the absence of it. We excluded CD4+ T cell proliferation to be abrogated by coinhibitory signals or the lack of inflammatory stimuli and found that autonomous proliferation of CD8* T cells was independent of any MHC class I signals. Gene expression analyses illustrated differences in global gene transcription between the two subsets following stimulation periods of different lengths. These T cell data reflect the MHC class difference in that class II but not class I molecules were stabilized on activated DCs in vivo, suggesting a coevolution of MHC molecules and their respective T cell subsets. Samples 1-12: Analysis on day 2. Purified CD4+ AND-TCR transgenic cells and CD8+ OT1-TCR transgenic cells were separately stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies. 48 hours later, the cells were sorted again to a purity of >99 %. Extracted total RNA was amplified twice and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse 430A2 microarrays. First, we analysed the changes of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells after stimulation. Second, we compared the differences of the changes between the two cell types after stimulation. For each of the four groups (CD4+ and CD8+, stimulated and unstimulated), we analysed three independent biological replicates. Samples 13-28: Analysis on day 5. AND and OT1 TCR-transgenic T cells were prepared as described before, but transferred into mice that do not or do present their respective antigens. 72 hours later, the cells were FACS-sorted twice to >99 % purity, directly into Trizol. For each of the six groups (CD4+ and CD8+, unstimulated, transient (2 days) and continuous (5 days) stimulation), three independent biological replicates were analyzed, except for CD4+ unstimulated and CD4+ transient, with two replicates each.

Project description:Cell activation is a vital step for T cell memory/effector differentiation as well as for productive HIV infection. To identify novel regulators of this process, we used next generation sequencing to profile changes in microRNA expression occurring in purified human naive CD4 T cells in response to TCR stimulation and HIV infection. HIV infection had no significant impact on global miR expression in quiescent nave CD4 T cells. We identified miR-34c-5p as a novel miR strongly induced by TCR stimulation of nave CD4 T cells, and found that it was consistently down-regulated in response to viral infection. Over-expression of miR-34c-5p had a positive effect on HIV-1 replication. Finally, we demonstrated that miR-34c-5p alters the expression of several genes involved in TCR signaling and cell activation, identifying it as a novel regulator of nave CD4 T cell activation potentially targeted by HIV infection.

Project description:T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling is essential for the function of T cells. Here we combine mouse genetics and affinity purification coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry to monitor the composition and dynamics of the signaling complexes that assemble around 15 nodes of the TCR signaling cascade of primary CD4+ T cells. This dataset contains the experiments performed with 14 different bait proteins • Cbl • Cblb • Fyb • Inpp5d • Itk • Lck • Lcp2 • Nck1 • Nfatc2 • Plcg1 • Ptpn22 • Ptpn6 • Themis • Vav1 Each of them contains mass spectrometry results from the analysis of AP-MS experiments, based on the endogenous expression of One-Strep-tagged (OST) bait proteins in engineered mice models, and affinity purification of these proteins from primary CD4+ T cells, using Streptactin beads. Purification of OST proteins was performed at 5 different time points of stimulation of CD4+ T cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD4 antibodies (0s; 30s; 120s; 300s; 600s). Each AP-MS purification of an OST- protein is associated with a corresponding control (purification from WT CD4+ T cells) at the same time point of stimulation. Several biological replicate experiments (time course OST series + associated WT controls) were performed for each bait. Several MS replicates were acquired for each sample. In addition, we analyzed the total proteome of CD4+ T cells isolated from each engineered mice model (14 different mice expressing an OST bait) and from WT mice, in order to calculate copy numbers of the baits and their associated proteins.
