The Chromosome 19 miRNA Cluster Guards Trophoblasts Against Overacting Innate Immunity

ABSTRACT: To maintain pregnancy health, the human placenta delicately balances protection of the developing fetus from invading pathogens with suppression of excessive inflammation that could lead to fetal and neonatal autoimmune disorders. Previous research, including our own, has shown that small RNA products of the Chromosome 19 MicroRNA Cluster (C19MC) utilize diverse pathways to promote viral resistance in non-trophoblastic cells. However, the role of C19MC products in placental trophoblasts remained unclear. Here, we analyzed chromatin accessibility in the C19MC enhancer and identified a previously unknown regulatory domain. Deletion of this domain silenced the expression of C19MC microRNA and Alu elements in trophoblasts. This silencing unexpectedly activated innate immunity interferon genes and markedly increased TLR3-mediated sensitivity to poly(I:C), a viral RNA mimic. Our data suggest that C19MC non-coding RNAs interfere with endosomal TLR3 activation in trophoblasts, preventing excessive innate immune activation.

Induced expression of the C19MC miRNAs in HTR-8/SVneo cells (microRNA)

Project description:Analyze miRNA expression levels in HTR-8/SVeo cells stably transfected with a BAC plasmid containing the entire C19MC miRNA cluster HTR-8/SVeo cells were transfected with a modified BAC plasmid containing the entire C19MC miRNA cluster and carrying a zeocin selection cassette. Several independent clones and a mixed population of transfected cells were analyzed and compared to non-transfected HTR-8/SVeo cells and primary human trophoblasts that express the C19MC miRNAs endogenously

Impaired TLR3-mediated immune responses from macrophages of patients chronically infected with Hepatitis C virus

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common chronic blood-borne infection in the United States with the majority of patients becoming chronically infected and a subset (20%) progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Individual variations in immune responses may help define successful resistance to infection with HCV. We have examined the immune response in primary macrophages from patients who have spontaneously cleared HCV (viral load negative, VL-, n = 37) compared to HCV genotype 1 chronically infected (VL+) subjects (n=32) and found that macrophages from VL- subjects have an elevated baseline expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). Macrophages from HCV patients were stimulated ex vivo through the TLR3 pathway and assessed using gene expression arrays and pathway analysis. We found elevated TLR3 response genes and pathway activity from VL- subjects. Furthermore, macrophages from VL- subjects showed higher production of IFN-b and related IFN response genes by Q-PCR, and increased phosphorylation of STAT-1 by immunoblot. Analysis of polymorphisms in TLR3 revealed a significant association of intronic TLR3 polymorphism (rs13126816) with the clearance of HCV and the expression of TLR3. Of note, PBMCs from the same donors showed opposite changes in gene expression, suggesting ongoing inflammatory responses in PBMCs from VL+ HCV patients. Our results suggest that an elevated innate immune response enhances HCV clearance mechanisms and may offer a potential therapeutic approach to increase viral clearance. Differential gene expression by primary human macrophages and PBMCs from patients with spontaneous clearance of HCV (VL-) and patients with chronic HCV infection (VL+) were generated by microarray.

Assessment of the Toll-like receptor 3 response in hepatocytes

Project description:Toll like receptor 3 (TLR3) is an endosomal pattern recognition receptor (PRR), recognizing double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a distinct Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) for viral infections. We aim to understand the contribution of TLR3 to the dsRNA response in hepatocytes. The innate immune response of cells of hepatic origin (Huh7, Huh7.5, PH5CH and primary human hepatocytes (PHH)) was analyzed by transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) upon supernatant delivery or transfection of synthetic dsRNA (poly(I:C)). Expression of TLR3 and RIG-I was reconstituted by lentiviral transduction in Huh7 and Huh7.5 cells. Huh7 and Huh7.5 cells, devoid of functional TLR3 expression, did not respond to supernatant delivery of poly(I:C), in contrast to PH5CH and PHH, confirming a high selectivity of this method towards activating TLR3 in all hepatocyte models.

miRNA profiles in unstimulated and TLR stimulated MDMs

Project description:Macrophages play a crucial role in HIV-1 pathogenesis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are fundamental for innate and adaptive immune responses, but their role in HIV-1 infection is still incompletely understood. The TLR3 and TLR4 ligands poly(I:C) and LPS are known to modulate HIV-1 infection of and replication in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), but the mechanism is incompletely understood. We found that MDMs stimulation with poly(I:C) or LPS abrogated infection by CCR5-using, macrophage-tropic HIV-1, or by VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-1 virions, while TLR7 and TLR9 agonists Imiquimod and CpG only reduced infection to varying extent. Suppression of infection, or lack thereof, did not correlate with differential effects on CD4 or CCR5 expression, type I interferon induction, or production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, integrated pro-viruses were readily detected in unstimulated, TLR7- and TLR9-stimulated cells, but not in TLR3- or TLR4-stimulated MDMs, suggesting the alteration of post-entry, pre-integration event(s). MicroRNA (miRNA) microarray and real time PCR demonstrated increased miR-155 levels in MDMs upon TLR3/4, but not TLR7, stimulation, and a miR-155 inhibitor partially restored infectivity in poly(I:C)-stimulated MDMs. Finally, miR-155 over-expression in MDMs and cell lines remarkably diminished HIV-1 infection, inducing an accumulation of late reverse transcription products, concurrently with a decrease in mRNA levels of several HIV-1 dependency factors involved in nuclear import of pre-integration complexes. Our results suggest that miR-155 may target mRNA(s) for host cell protein(s) that either participate in or facilitate post-entry, pre-integration events, resulting in severely diminished HIV-1 infection. miRNA profiles were investigated in total RNA isolated from unstimulated and TLR3-, TLR4- and TLR7-stimulated human MDMs from a single normal donor

Gene profiling in the colon after depletion and activation of TLR3 and TLR7 signals

Project description:TLR3 and TLR7 are critical recognition receptor which reacts with viruses. TLR3 and TLR7 contribute to many immunological pathway. Especially, TLR3 and TLR7 are clearly involved in the regulation of innate immunity in the gut. To identify the downstream target of TLR 3 and TLR7 in the IBD, we carried out microarray. The colon tissues were isolated from four different groups. None-no treatment, after DSS treated, after DSS+antiviral treatment, after DSS+TLR3+7 agonists.

MDA5 guards against infection by surveying cellular RNA homeostasis [II]

Project description:MDA5 is an innate immune RNA sensor that detects a range of viruses. MDA5’s RNA agonists are not well defined. We used individual-nucleotide resolution crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) to study its ligands. Surprisingly, upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 or encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), MDA5 bound overwhelmingly to cellular RNAs. Many binding sites were intronic and proximal to Alu elements. MDA5-bound RNA was enriched in Poly(A) and Poly(U) motifs, some of which may form double-stranded RNA. In EMCV-infected cells, cytoplasmic levels of intron-containing unspliced transcripts were increased, suggesting dysregulation of splicing. Concomitantly, MDA5 iCLIP peaks were enriched in introns accumulating in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Moreover, rescue of splicing abrogated MDA5 activation. Finally, depletion of viral RNA from RNA extracted from infected cells did not diminish its MDA5-stimulatory potential. Taken together, MDA5 surveys RNA processing fidelity and detects splicing perturbation during infection, establishing a paradigm of innate immune ‘guarding’ for RNA sensors.
