Germline-like TCR alpha chains shared between autoreactive T cells in blood and pancreas [dataset2]

ABSTRACT: How human islet antigen reactive CD4+ memory T cells (IAR T cells) from peripheral blood affect Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) progression in the pancreas is poorly understood. We identified paired alpha/beta (TRA/TRB) T cell receptors (TCRs) in IAR T cells from the blood of healthy, at-risk, new onset, and established T1D donors, and measured sequence overlap with TCRs in pancreata from organ donors. We detected extensive TRA junction sharing between IAR T cells and pancreatic infiltrating T cells (PIT), with perfect or single mismatched TRA junction amino acid sequences comprising ~34% of unique IAR TRA junctions. PIT-matched TRA junctions were largely public, and showed significant nucleotide sequence convergence, increased use of germline-encoded residues in epitope engagement, and a potential for cross-reactivity. The link with T cells in the pancreas implicates autoreactive IAR T cells with shared TRA junctions in the prediabetic and new onset phases of T1D progression.

Project description:We previously established long-term 3D organoid culture systems for several murine tissues (intestine, stomach, pancreas and liver) as well as human intestine and pancreas. Here, we describe culture conditions to generate long-term 3D culture from human gastric stem cells. The technology can be applied to study the epithelial response to infection with Helicobacter pylori. Human gastric cultures can expand indefinitely in 3D Matrigel. Cultures can be generated from normal tissue, from single sorted stem cells, or from tumor tissue. Organoids maintain many characteristics of the respective tissue in terms of histology, marker expression and euploidy. Organoids from normal tissue express markers of four lineages of the stomach and self-organize in gland and pit-domains. They can be directed to specifically express either lineages of the gastric gland, or the gastric pit by addition of Nicotinamide and withdrawal of Wnt. While gastric pit lineages react marginally to bacterial infection, gastric gland lineages mount a strong inflammatory response. The gastric culture system provides a unique tool to study gastric pathologies. We generated 2 sets of experiments. The first set contains organoids in 4 conditions: (1) organoids in expansion condition ENRWFGNiTi ("gland-type organoids") from 3 donors, (2) organoids as in 1 but differentiated for 4 days in differentiation condition ENR_FGNiTi ("pit'type organoids"), (3) organoids as in 1 but infected with Helicobacter pylori strain P12 MOI 50 for 2 h, (4) organoids as in 2 but infected as in 3. All 4 conditions were tested on the same organoid line in parallel. This experiment was conducted independently with cultures from 3 different donors. The second set of experiments compares freshly isolated glands with organoids. Samples from 2 patients were analyzed. Each patient received a total gastrectomy. From each patient, glands from corpus region or pyloric antrum were isolated. From each isolation, one aliquod was stored for microarray analysis and one aliquod used to generate organoids. Organoids and glands were subsequently lysed and analyzed in parallel.
