Ambient temperature regulates CD4⁺ T cell tonic T cell receptor signaling and responsiveness

ABSTRACT: Mice (Mus musculus) used in biomedical research are commonly housed at 19-23 °C, below their thermoneutral zone (29-34 °C), where metabolic homeostasis occurs. Although traditional housing exposes mice to chronic cold stress and modulates their immune response, cellular mechanisms by which thermoneutrality shapes immune responses remain underdefined. CD4+ T cells are major contributors to host immunity through T cell receptor (TCR) signaling activated via recognition of peptide-major histocompatibility complex class II (pMHCII). We demonstrate that thermoneutral housing, compared to traditional housing, enhances tonic TCR signaling, upregulates genes associated with endogenous TCR stimulation, and increases TCR-driven TNF expression in CD4⁺ T cells. Mechanistically, these effects are in part dependent on tonic TCR engagement with self-pMHCII. In inflammatory disease models, thermoneutrality-driven increased CD4⁺ T cell TNF production correlates with amplified tissue inflammation. Together, these findings reveal how housing temperature may shape inflammatory responses through self-pMHCII-dependent TCR signaling in CD4⁺ T cells.

Strong basal/tonic TCR signals are associated with gene expression changes in naive CD4+ T cells

Project description:Naïve T cells constantly experience TCR signals in response to self-peptides presented by MHC (pMHC) in vivo. The intensity of these basal or tonic TCR signals can be indirectly read out by expression of surrogate markers of tonic TCR signaling, including the Nur77-GFP transgene and Ly6c. The strength of tonic TCR signaling varies broadly across the naïve CD4+ T cell population and is correlated with functional heterogeneity.Cells that experience the most basal TCR signaling (Nur77-GFP hi, Ly6c lo) are hyporesponsive to peptide-MHC stimulation. Here we examine whether tonic TCR stimulation is associated with differences in mRNA expression.

Effect of thermoneutral housing on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice

Project description:Purpose: To identify the impact of thermoneutral housing as opposed to standard housing on gene expression profiles in the mouse peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), focusing on proinflammatory immune responses and high-fat diet induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathogenesis. Methods: Expression profiles from PBMCs collected from C57Bl6 mice fed chow or high-fat diet for 8 weeks, following 2 weeks at either standard or thermoneutral housing conditions. Sequencing was performed in duplicate, the Illumina HiSeq 2500. Transcripts that passed quality filters were analyzed at the gene level, using Strand NGS for accurate alignment and quantification. Results: We mapped approximately 20million reads per sample to the mm10 genome using annotations produced by Ensembl, which represented 36186 transcripts. Approximately 14000 genes exhibited reasonable expression in at least one experimental condition. The primary focus was the effect of housing temperature while holding diet consistent (i.e. thermoneutral vs standard, both on high-rat diet), where ~2700 genes exhibited differential regulation. Conclusions: We present the transcriptomic profile of PBMCs from mice fed chow of high-fat diets, following either standard or thermoneutral housing. We obseve an augmented proinflammatory immune response.

Effects of fescue toxicosis under chronic heat conditions conditions

Project description:Rats (n=24) were fed ad libitum diets containing either ground endophyte-free (E-) seed or endophyte–infected (E+) seed for five days at thermoneutrality (21°C) or heat stress (32 C) for 21 days. Rats with intraperitonial transmitters were used with core temperature (Tc) and general activity measured every 5 minutes during the study. At treatment end, the liver was removed, weighed and frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted from liver samples, converted to cDNA, and hybridized with the printed oligonucleotide slides. Treatments consisted of four treatment groups, E-TN, E+TN, E-HS, E+HS. E-TN IS control at thermoneutral for 26 days , E+TN toxin fed group at thermoneutral for 26 days; E-HS control at thermoneutral for 5 days and heat treatment for 21 days, E+HS is toxin fed group at thermoneutral for 5 days and heat stress for 21 days. Rats (n=24) were divided into two groups and fed with either E- or E+ diet for 5 days under TN conditions. At the end of TN period, each group was further subdivided into two groups each. Treatments consisted of four treatment groups, E-TN, E+TN, E-HS, E+HS. E-TN IS control at thermoneutral for 26 days , E+TN toxin fed group at thermoneutral for 26 days; E-HS control at thermoneutral for 5 days and heat treatment for 21 days, E+HS is toxin fed group at thermoneutral for 5 days and heat stress for 21 days.

Adaptation of white adipose tissue to cool environmental temperatures

Project description:To map changes in RNAs that occur to the gluteal portion of the posterior subcutaneous adipose tissue of mice housed under cool temperature, we performed RNA-Seq on gluteal WAT of mice housed at 22°C compared with thermoneutral housing (29°C; control).

Calcium-mediated shaping of naive CD4 T cell phenotype and function

Project description:Continuous contact with self-major histocompatibility complex ligands is essential for the survival of naive CD4 T cells. We have previously shown that the resulting tonic TCR signaling also influences their fate upon activation by increasing their ability to differentiate into induced regulatory T cells. To decipher the molecular mechanisms governing this process, microarray data comparing highly (Ly-6C-) and lowly (Ly-6C+) Self-reactive naive CD4 T cells were obtained.

Temperature-flux induced metabolic adjustments in WAT

Project description:Mice have their lowest (basal) metabolic rate when housed at thermoneutrality, which starts above 29 degrees C. Although they eat less, and thus reduce their energy intake, their energy balance remains positive leading to an increased adiposity, especially when fed a high fat diet. However, almost all metabolic mouse studies are performed at standard room temperatures ranging between 20 and 22 degrees C. Previously, we showed that housing mice at thermoneutrality lead to massive increased adiposity, while metabolic dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT) was absent. Here, we studied whether an increased metabolic flux through WAT induces cellular stress and underlies tissue dysfunction leading to tissue inflammation. C57BL/6JOlaHsd wildtype male mice, aged 9 weeks, were fed purified low fat diet (BIOCLAIMS, Hoevenaars et al., Genes and Nutrition 2012) for 3 weeks to acclimatize, followed by 12 weeks a BIOCLAIMS high-fat diet (HFD), all at thermoneutrality (29 degrees C). Subsequently, mice were divided into different treatment groups: i) control group, which remained at thermoneutrality for 5 days, ii) 5 days normal housing temperature (22 C degrees) while housed continously in an indirect calorimetry system. At the end of the study, after 2 hours food removal at the start of the light phase, mice were killed immediately by decapitation after taking them out of the indirect calorimetry system. After sacrification, epididymal WAT was immediately dissected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was isolated, quantified and qualified, and subsequently used for global gene expression profiling using Agilent 8x60K microarrays.

Tonic TNF conditioning of macrophages safeguards stimulus-specific inflammatory responses

Project description:TNF is a key inflammatory cytokine that warns recipient cells of a nearby infection or tissue damage. Acute exposure to TNF activates characteristic oscillatory dynamics of the transcription factor NFκB and induces a characteristic gene expression program; these are distinct from the responses of cells directly exposed to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Here we report that tonic TNF exposure is critical for safeguarding TNF’s specific functions. In the absence of tonic TNF conditioning, acute exposure to TNF causes 1) NFκB signaling dynamics that are less oscillatory and more like PAMP-responsive NFκB dynamics, 2) immune gene expression that is more similar to the Pam3CSK4-response program, 3) broader epigenomic reprogramming that is characteristic of PAMP-responsive changes. We show that tonic TNF signaling effects subtle changes to TNF receptor availability and dynamics such that enhanced pathway activity results in non-oscillatory NFκB. Our results reveal tonic TNF signaling as a key tissue determinant of the specific characteristics of cellular responses to acute paracrine TNF exposure, and their distinction from responses to direct exposure to PAMPs.
