Alpha hemolysin enhances the immune response by modulating dendritic cell differentiation via ADAM10-Notch signaling

ABSTRACT: In this study, we used PA0833 a novel protective antigen from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) as the target antigen to evaluate the immune protective effect of the carrier antigen HlaH35A. The transcriptional profiling of bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from mice indicated that HlaH35A predominantly modulates DC maturation, cytokine production, and subsequent T-cell activation. Structural prediction (AlphaFold-Multimer) and fluorescence confocal microscopy confirmed that the specific binding of HlaH35A to ADAM10 enhanced its antigen uptake capacity in dendritic cells. Meanwhile, this interaction between HlaH35A and ADAM10 further activated the downstream Notch signaling transduction in dendritic cells. The HlaH35A-ADM10–Notch axis in cDCs drives their differentiation into type2 cDCs (cDC2s)—particularly the Notch2-dependent cDC2—rather than involving monocyte-derived dendritic cells. This process promotes Th17 and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell responses in draining lymph nodes, leading to elevated antigen-specific IgG1 titers and robust protection against acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection. Thus, HlaH35A enhances immune response against acute lung infection by modulating cDC differentiation to amplify Th17 and T follicular helper responses, providing a promising Th17/Tfh-oriented vaccine design strategy.

Klf4 expression in conventional dendritic cells is required for T helper 2 cell responses

Project description:Subset-specific and progenitor gene expression analysis of Klf4+/+ and Klf4-/- DCs. The two major lineages of classical dendritic cells (cDCs) express and require either IRF8 or IRF4 transcription factors for their development and function. IRF8-dependent cDCs promote anti-viral and T-helper 1 (Th1) cell responses, whereas IRF4-expressing cDCs have been implicated in controlling both Th2 and Th17 cell responses. Here, we have provided evidence that Kruppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) is required in IRF4-expressing cDCs to promote Th2 but not Th17 cell responses in vivo. Conditional Klf4 deletion within cDCs impaired Th2 cell responses during Schistosoma mansoni infection, Schistosoma egg antigen (SEA) immunization, and house dust mite challenge (HDM), without affecting cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), Th1 and Th17 cell responses to herpes simplex virus, Toxoplasma gondii and Citrobacter rodentium infections. Further, Klf4 deletion reduced IRF4 expression in pre-cDCs and resulted in selective loss of IRF4-expressing cDCs subsets in several tissues. These results indicate that Klf4 guides a transcriptional program promoting IRF4-expressing cDCs heterogeneity. Bone marrow progenitors and skin draining LN subsets were harvested from 4 Klf4fl/fl cre negative or Vav1-icre mice and were sorted to >95% purity on the FACS Aria 3.

Functional and epigenetic studies reveal multistep differentiation and plasticity of in vitro and in vivo follicular T helper cells

Project description:Follicular T helper cells (Tfh) provide critical help to B cells for germinal center (GC) formation. Mutations affecting SLAM-associated Protein (SAP) prevent GC formation due to defective T-B cell interactions, yet effects on Tfh cell differentiation remain unclear. We describe the in vitro differentiation of functionally-competent “Tfh-like” cells that expressed Interleukin-21, Tfh markers, and Bcl6, and rescued GC formation in SAP-deficient hosts better than other T helper (Th) cells. SAP-deficient Tfh-like cells appeared virtually indistinguishable from wildtype, yet failed to support GCs in vivo. Interestingly, both Tfh-like and in vivo-derived Tfh cells could produce effector cytokines in response to polarizing conditions. Moreover, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells could be reprogrammed to obtain Tfh characteristics. ChIP-Seq analyses revealed positive epigenetic markings on Tbx21, Gata3 and Rorc in Tfh-like and ex vivo Tfh cells, and Bcl6 in other Th cell populations, supporting the concept of plasticity between Tfh and other Th cells. Epigenetic modifications were evaluated in ChIP-Seq studies by profiling histone H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylation marks between Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh-like, and CXCR5+PD-1+ sorted Tfh-like in vitro generated T helper cell populations and ex vivo derived Tfh cells.

Transcription profiling of mouse Splenic CD4+CXCR5+ T (TFH) cells

Project description:After activation, CD4+ helper T (Th) cells differentiate; into distinct effector subsets. Although chemokine; (C-X-C motif) receptor 5-expressing T follicular; helper (Tfh) cells are important in humoral immunity,; their developmental regulation is unclear. Here we; show that Tfh cells had a distinct gene expression; profile and developed in vivo independently of the; Th1 or Th2 cell lineages. Tfh cell generation was regulated; by ICOS ligand (ICOSL) expressed on B cells; and was dependent on interleukin-21 (IL-21), IL-6,; and signal transducer and activator of transcription; 3. However, unlike Th17 cells, differentiation of Tfh; cells did not require transforming growth factor; b (TGF-b) or Th17-specific orphan nuclear receptors; RORa and RORg in vivo. Finally, naive T cells activated; in vitro in the presence of IL-21 but not; TGF-b signaling preferentially acquired Tfh gene; expression and promoted germinal-center reactions; in vivo. This study thus demonstrates that Tfh is a; distinct Th cell lineage. Experiment Overall Design: Splenic CD4+CXCR5+ T cells were isolated from KLH-immunized mice and restimulated with anti-CD3 for 4 hours before total RNA preparation. Affymetrix gene chips were used to analyze their gene expression.

Expression Data from WT and Sh2d1a-/- in vivo follicular helper CD4 T cells (TFH) versus non follicular helper CD4 T cells (non-TFH)

Project description:CD4 T cell help is critical for both the generation and maintenance of germinal centers, and T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the CD4 T cell subset required for this process. SAP (SH2D1A) expression in CD4 T cells is essential for germinal center development. However, SAP-deficient mice have only a moderate defect in TFH differentiation as defined by common TFH surface markers. CXCR5+ TFH cells are found within the germinal center as well as along the boundary regions of T/B cell zones. Here we show that germinal center associated T cells (GC TFH) can be identified by their co-expression of CXCR5 and the GL7 epitope, allowing for phenotypic and functional analysis of TFH and GC TFH populations. Here we show GC TFH are a functionally discrete subset of further polarized TFH cells, with enhanced B cell help capacity and a specialized ability to produce IL-4 in a TH2-independent manner. Strikingly, SAP-deficient mice have an absence of the GC TFH subset and SAP- TFH are defective in IL-4 and IL-21 production. We further demonstrate that SLAM (Slamf1, CD150), a surface receptor that utilizes SAP signaling, is specifically required for IL-4 production by GC TFH. GC TFH cells require IL-4 and IL-21 production for optimal help to B cells. These data illustrate complexities of SAP-dependent SLAM family receptor signaling, revealing a prominent role for SLAM receptor ligation in IL-4 production by germinal center CD4 T cells but not in TFH and GC TFH differentiation. Analysis of in vivo antigen-specific (LCMV-specific, SMARTA TCR transgenic) WT and Sh2d1a-/- follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5high),versus non-follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5low), eight days after viral infection.

Migratory CD11b+ conventional dendritic cells induce T follicular helper cell dependent antibody responses

Project description:T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells that promote antibody production during vaccination. Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) efficiently prime Tfh cells; however, conclusions regarding the nature of the cDC responsible for instructing Tfh cell differentiation have differed between recent studies. We found that these discrepancies might exist, in part, due to the unusual sites used for immunization in murine models, which differentially bias which DC subsets access antigen. We used intranasal immunization as a physiologically relevant route of exposure that we show delivers antigen to all tissue DC subsets. Using a combination of mice in which the function of individual DC subsets is impaired and different formulations of antigen delivery, we determined that CD11b+ migratory type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) are necessary and sufficient for Tfh induction. DC-specific deletion of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8 resulted in an isolated loss of CD11b+ cDC2 but not CD103+ cDC1 migration to lung-draining lymph nodes. Impaired cDC2 migration or development in DC-specific Dock8 or Irf4 knockout mice, respectively, led to reduced Tfh cell and antibody development, whereas loss of CD103+ cDC1s in Batf3-/- mice did not. Loss of cDC2-mediated Tfh responses was associated with impaired antibody-mediated protection from live influenza virus challenge. We show that migratory cDC2s uniquely carry antigen into the sub-anatomic regions of the lymph node where Tfh cell priming occurs, the T-B border. This work identifies the DC responsible for Tfh cell-dependent antibody responses, in particular when antigen dose is limiting or is encountered at a mucosal site, which could ultimately inform the formulation and delivery of vaccines.

Cytokine-independent detection of antigen-specific germinal center T follicular helper (Tfh) cells in immunized non-human primates using a live cell Activation Induced Marker (AIM) technique

Project description:A range of current candidate AIDS vaccine regimens are focused on generating protective HIV neutralizing antibody responses. Many of these efforts rely on the rhesus macaque animal model. Understanding how protective antibody responses develop and how to increase their efficacy are both major knowledge gaps. Germinal centers (GC) are the engines of antibody affinity maturation. GC T follicular helper (GC Tfh) CD4 T cells are required for GCs. Studying vaccine-specific GC Tfh cells after protein immunizations has been challenging, as antigen-specific GC Tfh cells are difficult to identify by conventional intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). Cytokine production by GC Tfh cells may be intrinsically limited in comparison to other T helper effector cells, as the biological role of a GC Tfh cell is to provide help to individual B cells within the GC, rather than secreting large amounts of cytokines bathing a tissue. To test this idea, we developed a cytokine-independent method to identify antigen-specific GC Tfh cells. RNAseq was performed using TCR stimulated GC Tfh cells to identify candidate markers based on differentially expressed genes and other criteria. Validation experiments determined CD25 (IL2Ra) and OX40 to be highly upregulated activation induced markers on the surface of GC Tfh cells after stimulation. In comparison to ICS, the activation induced marker (AIM) assay identified > 10-fold more antigen-specific GC Tfh cells in HIV Env protein immunized macaques (BG505 SOSIP). Additionally, the AIM assay detected antigen-specific CXCR5+ and CXCR5- CD4 T cells in peripheral blood. Thus, AIM demonstrates that antigen-specific GC Tfh cells are intrinsically stingy producers of cytokines, which is likely an essential part of their biological function. Total RNA obtained from GC Tfh cells from 3 rhesus macaque lymph node cell samples stimulated with Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B compared with 2 unstimulated cell samples.

Finally, naive T cells activated in vitro in the presence of IL-21 but not TGF-b signaling preferentially acquired Tfh gene expression and promoted germinal-center reactions in vivo. This study thus demonstrates that Tfh is a distinct Th cell lineage.
