PBS vs. LPS stimulation of gd T cells

ABSTRACT: gd T cells recognize unprocessed or non-peptide antigens, respond rapidly to infection, and localize to mucosal surfaces. We have hypothesized that the innate functions of gd T cells may be more similar to those of cells of the myeloid lineage than to other T cells. To begin to test this assumption, we have analyzed the direct response of cultured human and peripheral blood bovine gd T cells to pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in the absence of APCs using microarray, real time RT-PCR, proteome array, and chemotaxis assays. Our results indicate that purified gd T cells respond directly to PAMPs by increasing expression of chemokine and activation related genes. The response was distinct from that to known gd T cell antigens and different from the response of myeloid cells to PAMPs. In addition, we have analyzed the expression of a variety of PAMP receptors in gd T cells. Freshly purified bovine gd T cells responded more robustly to PAMPs than did cultured human cells and expressed measurable mRNA encoding a variety of PAMP receptors. Our results suggest that rapid response to PAMPs through the expression of PAMP receptors may be another innate role of gd T cells. Keywords: parallel sample

Experiment Overall Design: Sorted cells from 4 human gd T cell cultures were treated with either PBS or phLPS for 4 hours, RNA was extracted with TRIzolÂ® Reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies) according to the manufacturerâs instructions, pooled and used to probe Affymetrix GenechipÂ® Human Genome U133A 2.0 Arrays (Cat. # 900471 Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) that represent 14,500 human genes. cDNA amplification and synthesis of biotin-labeled cRNA was performed with the Alternative One-cycle target labeling protocol with 10 micrograms total RNA as described in the GeneChipÂ® Expression Analysis Technical Manual (March 2004). Hybridization was performed with 10 micrograms biotin labeled cRNA. Washing and staining was performed in the GeneChipÂ® Fluidics Station 450 using the Midi_euk2v3 protocol. Chip scans were performed on the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Scanner 3000. GeneChipÂ® Operating Software (GCOS v.1.1, Affymetrix) was used for data collection.

Project description:We have begun to approach gd T cells more as prospective innate cells than as conventional T cells. Recent results indicated that purified gd T cells are primed directly in response to pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to better respond to secondary signals and increase expression of chemokine and activation-related genes. In microarray and real time PCR analyses of RNA derived from bovine and human gd T cells, transcripts encoding Nod2 were repeatedly amplified. Nod2 is the intracellular receptor for muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a subunit of PGN, functions in regulating innate activities, and was thought to be expressed primarily in APCs. Given our repeated detection of Nod2 transcripts in gd T cells, the specific direct response of gd T cells to MDP was analyzed by microarray, real time PCR, proteome array and in a functional priming assay. The results indicate a subtle activation in response to MDP akin to priming, and suggest a unique mechanism for differential gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: PBLs from calf 129 were stained with GD3.8 directly conjugated to FITC, washed, and sorted on a Vantage SE cell sorter (BD Immunocytometry Systems) as previously described. PBLs from calves 150 and 151 were stained with GD3.8, and anti-Mouse IgG magnetic beads and sorted with MACS magnetic bead system (Miltenyi Biotec) as previously described to a purity of >98%. Sorted cells were rested overnight, stimulated for 4 hours then lysed in Buffer RLT and genomic DNA sheared using Qiashredder columns then frozen at -80oC. RNA was extracted following the manufacturerâs protocol for RNeasy (Qiagen) column purification, assessed on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies), and amplified using the Affymetrix One-cycle protocol with approximately 1.7micrograms of total RNA as described in the GeneChipÂ® Expression Analysis Technical Manual (June 2004). Hybridizations to GenechipÂ® Bovine Genome Arrays (Affymetrix) were performed with 15 mg biotin labeled cRNA. Washing and staining was performed in the GeneChipÂ® Fluidics Station 450 using the Midi_euk2v3 protocol. Chip scans were performed on the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Scanner 3000. GeneChipÂ® Operating Software (GCOS v.1.1, Affymetrix) 19;20 was used for data collection.
