Single-cell Transcriptomics Reveal Signatures of Altered B cell Response and T cell Senescence in Geriatric Non-responders to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination

ABSTRACT: The immune response to COVID-19 vaccines is diminished in older individuals. To understand the underlying immunobiology, we analyzed single-cell RNA-seq data from PBMCs of SARS-CoV-2 naïve nursing home residents with varying humoral responses following BNT162b2 vaccination and validated via flow cytometry. Responders (>4500 AU/mL anti-spike titers) showed enrichment for naïve B cell (IGHD, BACH2, CD22) and naïve CD4 T cell and early Tfh-related genes (CCR7, TCF7, LEF1, IL6ST, TGFBR2). Non-responders (<20 AU/mL) displayed elevated markers of T cell senescence (KLRG1, CCL4, CCL5, IL32), immune exhaustion (PD-1), and inflammation (TNF-α, IFN-γ). Flow cytometry revealed reduced CD4 T and B cell frequencies but higher CD8 T and NK cells in non-responders. Despite reduced B cell frequency, non-responders upregulated plasma B cell genes (PRDM1, XPB1, IRF4), suggesting dysregulated B cell differentiation. Our findings point to impaired lymphocyte responses and increased immunosenescence in non-responders, emphasizing the need for enhanced vaccine strategies in aging populations.

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 1; Geriatric vs. Young)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging. Here we report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months) and Geriatric (28-32 months) mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).

CpG ODN-functionalized gold nanorods for better immune activation and its potential mechanism

Project description:Background: Immune escape in the treatment by functionalized gold nanorods (Au NRs) should not be ignored. Whether CpG ODN, an immune adjuvant, can synergize with Au NRs to activate the immune response and its potential mechanism is not clear. Methods: The expression of CD8+ T cells, macrophage, NK cells, Th17, and Treg was detected by flow cytometry. Expression levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α were assessed by ELISA. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed to identify DEGs. GO, KEGG and PPI analyses explored the mechanism. The immune activation properties of antibody functionalization-associated Au NR were then compared. Results: Flow cytometry and ELISA analyses indicate that both Au NRs and CpG ODN promote the proliferation of inflammatory factors and immune activation. However, the CpG ODN-coupled Au NRs (Au NRs-C) demonstrated superior immune activation potential. Furthermore, Au NRs stimulate the expression of Treg, while Au NRs-C significantly inhibited this effect. This suggests that the conjugation of CpG ODN with Au NRs not only greatly enhances the immune activation but also compensates for their deficiencies in eliciting immune responses. Transcriptome sequencing uncovered DEGs mainly localized to immune and pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways. PPI analysis identified six hub genes: FOXM1, HMOX1, UBE2C, E2F1, PECAM1, and FCGR3A. Moreover, CpG conjugation with antibody-associated Au NRs enhances immune stimulation. Conclusion: Au NRs-C may upregulate the E2F1 and downregulate the PECAM1, which promotes MHC antigen presentation and Toll-like receptor-mediated immune processes while inhibiting CXCR receptor binding and immune negative regulation, thereby resulting in a stronger immune activation.

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 2; Old/Geriatric vs. Young and SAMR1 vs. SAMP8)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging and in progeric conditions. Here we report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging and progeria. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months), Old (22-24 months), Geriatric (28-30 months), SAMR1 and SAMP8 mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).

Responses to checkpoint inhibition in metastatic TNBC driven by divergent myeloid phenotypes

Project description:Due to scarcity of effective therapeutic targets, metastatic TNBC (mTNBC) has shorter survival times compared to other advanced breast cancer subtypes. Although chemo-immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in PD-L1+ mTNBC has shown promise, survival benefit remains modest. Therefore, it is crucial to gain improved insight into the mechanisms underlying response and resistance to checkpoint inhibition in mTNBC. We employed single cell-RNA-sequencing, single cell secretomics, and flow cytometry to identify transcriptomic and proteomic peripheral immune cell signatures associated with response and non-response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and chemotherapy in mTNBC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed divergent transcriptional programming of CD33+ myeloid cells between responders and non-responders, even in pretreatment PBMC samples. This divergence, in responders, was characterized by an immune-promoting CD33+ cell phenotype involving IL-1b signaling versus, in non-responders, an immunosuppressive phenotype marked by IL-1b inhibition. These baseline differences expanded during the course of treatment. Differences in CD33+ cell phenotype resulted in functional differences in lymphocyte activities between responders and non-responders. To confirm this causal role of myeloid cells, we depleted CD33+ cells in pre-treatment samples from non-responders, which led to a rescue of T cell effector function. Our findings highlight CD33+ cell phenotype as a key determinant of response to chemo-immunotherapy, which can be assessed from peripheral blood. This offers a valuable tool in the context of metastatic TNBC, in which tissue sampling is often challenging.

Transcription profiling of human whole blood from rheumatoid arthritis patients

Project description:The whole blood was collected pre-treatment from rheumatoid arthritis patients starting the anti_TNF therapy. All patients were naïve to anti_TNFs. The disease activity was measured using the DAS28 score at the pre-treatment visit1 (DAS28_v1) and 14 weeks after treatment visit3 (DAS28_v3). The response to the therapy was evaluated using the EULAR [European League Against Rheumatism] definition of the response. The objective of the data analysis was to identify gene expression coorelating with response as well as to identify genes that differentiate responders versus non-responders pre-treatment. The results of this investigation identified 8 trainscripts that predict responders vs. non-responders with 89% accuracy. Experiment Overall Design: Patients' response to anti-TNF was assessed using EULAR score and patients were classified as responders, moderate responders and non-responders. Genes correlating with the response status have been identified.

Clinical outcome is unlinked to injection of adipose-derived regenerative cells in the axilla of breast cancer-related lymphedema patients

Project description:Background: Injection of autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) combined with lipotransfer has been suggested to alleviate symptoms in diseases including breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). We recently performed a randomized controlled trial injecting lipoaspirate with ADRCs into the axilla of BCRL patients, and here we aimed in the intervention group to define in an unbiased fashion whether ADRC injection was linked to the clinical outcome. Results: Unbiased multifactorial analysis ranked and defined the clinical outcomes (Sf36 physical change, L-Dex Lymph Change, ICG mdanderson change) with the highest effect on BRCL patients. The 10 patients with the highest- and lowest effect (five responders and five non-responders) were included in the study. No difference between non-responders and responders were observed for injected ADRC number/size/viability (p>0.05). In scRNAseq, we did not find any major difference (p>0.05) between groups in ADRC composition regarding adipose derived stem cells, endothelial-, smooth muscle-, T-, B-, mast cells as well as macrophages, which was verified by flow cytometry. Differential subcluster gene expression between groups were for 92.5% of genes below the threshold of 1.5, and thus neglible. Together this suggested that the ADRC phenotype was indistinguishable between BRCL responders and non-responders to the intervention.

Geriatric muscle stem cells switch reversible quiescence into senescence (Set 3; Adult vs. Young)

Project description:Regeneration of skeletal muscle depends on a population of adult stem cells (satellite cells) that remain quiescent throughout life. Satellite cell regenerative functions decline with aging. We report that geriatric satellite cells, compared to old and adult cells, are incapable of maintaining their normal quiescent state in muscle homeostatic conditions, and this irreversibly affects their intrinsic regenerative and self-renewal capacities. We analyzed the global changes in gene expression occurring within muscle stem cells (satellite cells) in homeostatic conditions during physiological aging. Pure satellite cell populations from dissociated skeletal muscle from Young (2-3 months) and Adult (6 months) mice were isolated using a well-established flow cytometry protocol gating on integrin a7(+)/CD34(+) (positive selection) and Lin- (CD31, CD45, CD11b, Sca1) (negative selection).

Pre-vaccination transcriptomic profiles of immune responders to the MUC1 peptide vaccine for colon cancer prevention

Project description:Self-antigens abnormally expressed on tumors, such as MUC1, have been targeted by therapeutic cancer vaccines. We recently assessed in two clinical trials in a preventative setting whether immunity induced with a MUC1 peptide vaccine could reduce high colon cancer risk in individuals with a history of premalignant colon adenomas. In both trials, there were immune responders and non-responders to the vaccine. Here we used PBMC pre-vaccination and 2 weeks after the first vaccine of responders and non-responders selected from both trials to identify early biomarkers of immune response involved in longterm memory generation and prevention of adenoma recurrence. We performed flow cytometry, phosflow, and differential gene expression analyses on PBMCs collected from MUC1 vaccine responders and non-responders pre-vaccination and two weeks after the first of three vaccine doses. MUC1 vaccine responders had higher frequencies of CD4 cells pre-vaccination, increased expression of CD40L on CD8 and CD4 T-cells, and a greater increase in ICOS expression on CD8 T-cells. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that iCOSL, PI3K AKT MTOR, and B-cell signaling pathways are activated early in response to the MUC1 vaccine. We identified six specific transcripts involved in elevated antigen presentation, B-cell activation, and NF-kB1 activation that were directly linked to finding antibody response at week 12. Finally, a model using these transcripts was able to predict non-responders with accuracy. These findings suggest that individuals who can be predicted to respond to the MUC1 vaccine, and potentially other vaccines, have greater readiness in all immune compartments to present and respond to antigens. Predictive biomarkers of MUC1 vaccine response may lead to more effective vaccines tailored to individuals with high risk for cancer but with varying immune fitness.
