Project description:Naive CD4+ T cells, sorted from PBMCs of grass-fed beef cattle, were stimulated with anti-bovine CD3 under Th2 differentiation conditions with or without Ostertagia ostertagi (OO) protein extract. Th1 differentiation conditions were included for comparison. The effect of recombinant bovine IL-4 (rbIL-4) and weakening TCR signal strength on Th2 differentiation were also tested. Flow cytometry, qPCR and proteomic assay were performed to analyze the differentiated cells.
The majority of differentiated cells expressed IFNgamma (a hallmark cytokine for Th1) and a small percentage of cells expressed both IFNgamma and IL-4 (a hallmark cytokine for Th2), indicating the presence of Th0 cells, as previously reported in cattle. While weakening TCR signal strength reduced Th2 cell expansion, adding rbIL-4 or OO protein extract enhanced Th2 cell expansion but without significant changes in IFNgamma and IL-4 expression. Proteomic data predicted that, as in mice and humans, bovine Th2 differentiation results from three upstream stimulation with CD3, CD28, and IL-4, which were inhibited when OO protein extract was added into the Th2 differentiation media. Importantly, protein profiling indicated that the addition of rbIL-4 enhanced IL-4 signaling but inhibited IL-12 signaling. Soon, we are planning to explore if other cytokines like IL-10 can be applied to optimize this Th2 differentiation in vitro.
Naive bovine CD4+ T cells differentiate into a mixed population containing a high percentage of IFNgamma producing cells and a small percentage of Th0 cells. Furthermore, bovine Th2 differentiation is sensitive to regulation such as by OO or rbIL-4.

Project description:Effect of HDAC1 deficiency on in vitro Th2 and pathogenic Th2 differentiated murine CD4+ T cells
| PRJNA987658 | ENA
Project description:To investigate the regulation of pathogenic Th2 (pTh2) cells and the role of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in the respective processes, we used a new in vitro protocol for generating pTh2 cells and performed qunatitative mass spectrometry analysis based on TMTpro 16plex multiplexing to analyze proteomes. We profiled classical Th2 and pTh2 cells from wild type (WT) mice and mice with a T cell-specific deletion of HDAC1 (HDAC1-cKO).

Project description:To test whether human in vitro primed Th9 cells recapitulate the core pathogenic Th2 cell phenotype, we differentiated naïve T cells into Th1 (IL-12), Th2 (IL-4), Th9 (IL-4+TGF-β), and iTreg (TGF-β). After 7 days transcriptomic profiling by bulk RNA-seq was performed.

Project description:Th2 cell is a subset of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, which regulates the immunity to extracellular parasites and allergic inflammation. Th2 cells specifically secrete Type 2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and also express many universal cytokines like IL-2 and GM-CSF. While theses cytokines are indispensable for Th2 cell mediated response, there is complex heterogeneity in the pattern of cytokine production among Th2 cell population. As previous studies were mainly conducted at population levelref, here we took advantage of single-cell RNA-seq to explore heterogeneity in in vitro differentiated Th2 cells. Although a few single cell researches about Th2 cells was conducted, there is no comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity of Th2 lineage yet, inspiring us to make some difference on this issue. Our studies identify that cytokine genes contributed most to the transcriptome heterogeneity of Th2 cells; expression of universal cytokines showed bimodality, but not Th2 specific cytokines.

Project description:GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) acts as the master transcription factor for type 2 T helper (Th2) cell differentiation and function. However, it is still elusive how GATA3 function is precisely regulated in Th2 cells. Here, we report that the transcription factor B cell lymphoma 11b (Bcl11b), a previously unknown component of GATA3 transcriptional complex, is involved in GATA3-mediated gene regulation. Bcl11b binds to GATA3 through protein-protein interaction, and they co-localize at many important cis-regulatory elements in Th2 cells. The expression of type 2 cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13, is up-regulated in Bcl11b-deficient Th2 cells both in vitro and in vivo; such up-regulation is completely GATA3-dependent. Genome-wide analyses of Bcl11b- and GATA3-regulated gene (from RNA-Seq), co-binding pattern (from ChIP-Seq), and Bcl11b-mediated epigenetic changes (in H3K27ac and DHSs) suggest that GATA3/Bcl11b complex is involved in limiting Th2 gene expression, as well as in inhibiting non-Th2 gene expression. Thus, Bcl11b controls both GATA3-mediated gene activation and repression in Th2 cells.

Project description:Industrial production of penicillin G by Penicillium chrysogenum requires medium supplementation with the side chain precursor phenylacetate. However, P.chrysogenum grown in presence of phenylalanine as sole nitrogen source formed detectable extracellular amounts of phenylacetate and penicillin G. To get more insights in the metabolism implicated, chemostat-cultivation in presence of 13C9-phenylalanine were carried out. Quantification and modeling of the labeled metabolite pools indicated that phenylalanine was i) incorporated in nascent protein, ii) transaminated to phenylpyruvate and further converted by oxidation or by decarboxylation and iii) oxidized into tyrosine and subsequently assimilated in the homogentisate pathway. Comparative transcriptome analysis of phenylalanine and (NH4)2SO4 grown P.chrysogenum cultures enabled to identify two putative 2-oxo acid decarboxylases Pc13g9300 and Pc18g01490. Both cDNAs were cloned and expressed in the decarboxylase-free Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK711-7C (pdc1delta, 5delta, 6delta, aro10delta, thi3delta) strain that has lost the ability to grow on glucose as sole carbon source or on phenylalanine as sole nitrogen source. Only Pc13g09300 was able to restore growth on glucose and on phenylalanine, demonstrating that this gene encodes a dual substrate pyruvate, phenylpyruvate decarboxylase. This newly identified thiamine-dependent 2-oxo acid decarboxylase provides clues to explain the formation of phenylacetate via an Ehrlich-like pathway in P.chrysogenum. Penicillium chrysogenum DS17690 was grown in aerobic glucose limited chemostat at 25oC, pH 6.5 and a dilution rate of 0.03h-1 with either amonia or phenylalanine

Project description:Polyfunctional Th2 cells play a crucial role in triggering diverse pathogenic responses in allergic diseases by producing multiple cytokines. However, the precise mechanism underlying their polyfunctionality remains elusive. In this study, we elucidate the pivotal role of Nrf2 in polyfunctional Th2 cells during allergic asthma. We found that an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in immune cells infiltrating the lungs is necessary for the development of eosinophilic asthma. Deletion of the ROS sensor Nrf2 specifically in T cells, but not in dendritic cells, significantly abolished eosinophilia and polyfunctional Th2 cells in the airway. Mechanistically, Nrf2 intrinsic to T cells is essential for inducing optimal oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis capacity, thereby driving Th2 cell polyfunctionality, partially by inducing PPARγ, independently of IL-33. Treatment with an Nrf2 inhibitor leads to a substantial decrease in polyfunctional Th2 cells and subsequent eosinophilia in mice, and a reduction in the production of Th2 cytokines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in asthmatic patients. These findings highlight the critical role of Nrf2 as a spatial and temporal metabolic hub that is essential for polyfunctional Th2 cells, suggesting potential therapeutic implications for allergic diseases.
