The PGD2/DP2 axis promotes pro-inflammatory responses but attenuates an antigen-presenting role of human basophils

ABSTRACT: Basophils are distinct blood leukocytes that express immunoglobulin (Ig) E receptor FcR1 and can be activated by IgE. Their roles in asthma, particularly IgE-independent effects, remain incompletely understood. Human basophils highly express the prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptor 2 (DP2; also known as chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells, CRTH2). Here we explore the PGD2/DP2 axis as an alternative pathway for basophil activation. Basophils are enriched in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, correlating with eosinophil counts but not IgE levels. PGD2/DP2 stimulation promots basophil recruitment, activation, and the production of histamine, leukotrienes, and type 2 cytokines. RNA sequencing and further in vitro experiments reveals that, although PGD2 and IgE share some signalling pathways and functions, they induce distinct gene transcriptional signatures. Interestingly, PGD2 downregulats major histocompatibility complex class I-related gene protein (MR1) and attenuates basophil antigen-presentation to mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, leading to reduced IFN- production. These findings highlight the PGD2/DP2/basophil axis as a contributor to asthma, particularly in IgE-low conditions, and suggest it as a potential therapeutic target for related diseases.

Transcription profiling of mouse mast cells treated with an antagonist for recepter CRTH2, compound A alone and with CRTH2 ligands, antigen, BW868c and dexatheasone

Project description:These samples are part of a study in which we demonstrate that mast cells express the receptor CRTH2, which is the target for our antagonist compound compound A. We want to examine whether there are differences in RNA expression when the mast cells are treated with the ligands of CRTH2 - PGD2 and DK-PGD2 - compared to no treatment. Also, we want to see if pretreating the cells with compound A can block or change differences in RNA expression induced by either DK-PGD2 or PGD2. The study also looks at Ige loaded cells exposed to antigen and dexamethasone, and cells treated with BW868c - a a highly selective DP receptor antagonist.

Gene expression profiles of pre-basophils versus mature basophils stimulated with antigen/IgE- or IL-3-stimulation.

Project description:Basophils are the least common granulocytes which represent less than 1% of peripheral blood leukocytes. Recent development of analytical tools for basophils enables us to understand their critical roles in allergic reactions and protection from parasitic infections. Nevertheless, the differentiation trajectory of basophils remains unclear. We have identified previously-unappreciated pre-basophil subpopulation which encompasses previously-defined basophil precursors (BaPs) in a series of experiments including scRNA-seq analysis (deposited to GSE206589). In this study, we explored gene expression profiles of pre-basophils and mature basophils activated by antigen/IgE-stimulation or IL-3-stimulation. We have revealed that IL-3 activated pre-basophils displayed distinct gene expression profiles from antigen/IgE- or IL-3-stimulated mature basophils, suggesting the unuque property of pre-basophils.

The Effect of Steroid and ERa agonism on Th2 cells

Project description:Allergic asthma is a T helper 2 (Th2) cell-associated inflammatory disease, driven by cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. Th2 cells express the G-protein-coupled receptor CRTh2, a receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) that influences Th2 function and survival. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids are the primary treatment of allergic asthma and improve asthma symptoms by inhibiting Th2 cytokine production. Women are more likely than men to have severe asthma and to have symptoms requiring a hospital visit. These findings lead us to consider a mechanism by which female sex hormones could influence Th2 cell response to glucocorticosteroid. Using whole-mRNA sequencing, we examined gene expression in primary Th2 cells following exposure to glucocorticosteroids (0.1µM) in the presence or absence of an estrogen mimic, PPT (10µM).

Bulk RNA-seq analysis of WT and tristetraprolin (TTP)-knockout basophils treated with antigen/IgE stimulation

Project description:Basophils play crucial roles in type 2 immune responses, such as chronic allergic inflammation and protective immunity against parasites. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating basophil activation and effector molecule production remain poorly understood. To investigate the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), we first analyzed the gene expression of CCCH zinc finger proteins in antigen/IgE-stimulated basophils. Among these proteins, we identified that Zfp36, encoding tristetraprolin (TTP), was the most significantly upregulated gene. Therefore, we focused on the functions of TTP in basophils. We generated TTP-KO mice using the CRISPR-Cas9 method and conducted bulk RNA-seq analysis of antigen/IgE-stimulated basophils from wild-type (WT) and TTP-knockout (TTP-KO) mice. TTP-KO basophils exhibited elevated mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as Il4, Il13, Areg, Ccl3, and Cxcl2, compared to WT basophils. These data suggest that TTP is a key regulator of basophil activation, controlling the mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators.

Cebpa regulates gene transcription in basophils

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms by which C/EBPa drives basophil differentiation and maintains basophil identity, we examined whether or not C/EBPa promotes basophil molecular programming and simultaneously represses mast cell molecular programming. We performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on basophils and mast cells and found that 6798 genes were shared by mast cells and basophils; 2033 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 1-3.3)-fold higher in basophils (differentially expressed in basophils); and 413 genes were expressed greater than 10 (log2 3.3)-fold in basophils (highly expressed in basophils). On the other hand, we found 569 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 -1 to -3.3) fold higher in mast cells and 171 genes were highly expressed in mast cells [greater than 10 fold (log2 -3.3)]. We treated purified basophils prepared from Cebpaf/f RosaYFP/creER mice and Cebpa+/+ RosaYFP/creER control mice with or without 4HT treatment for five days. Gene expression in the treated basophils was analyzed using microarray analysis. Overall, deletion of C/EBPa in basophils resulted in a reduction of mRNA expression for 248 genes and led to an increase in mRNA expression for 255 genes. The majority of the C/EBPa-regulated genes were either differentially or highly expressed in basophils or mast cells. In this study, we compared gene expression in basophils and mast cell and identified genes which specifically expressed in basophils and mast cells. By using Cebpa conditional knock out mice, we identified Cebpa regulated genes in basophils.

Proinflammatory role of histamine-releasing factor in asthma and allergy

Project description:Immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated activation of mast cells and basophils underlies allergic diseases such as asthma. Histamine-releasing factor (HRF), also known as translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) and fortilin, is a highly conserved protein with both intracellular and extracellular functions. Secreted HRF can stimulate histamine release and IL-4 and IL-13 production from IgE-sensitized basophils and mast cells. HRF is found in nasal, skin blister and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids during late-phase allergic reactions (LPRs), which implicates HRF in the LPR and chronic allergic inflammation. Here we identify a subset of IgE and IgG antibodies as HRF-interacting molecules. HRF can exist as a dimer and bind to immunoglobulins (Igs) via interactions of its N-terminal and internal regions with the Fab region of Igs. Therefore, HRF together with HRF-reactive IgE can activate mast cells in vitro. The Ig-interacting HRF peptides that block HRF-Ig interactions can inhibit IgE+HRF-induced mast cell activation and in vivo cutaneous anaphylaxis and airway inflammation. Intranasally administered HRF can recruit inflammatory immune cells to the lung in naïve mice in a mast cell- and Fc receptor-dependent manner. These results strongly suggest the proinflammatory role of HRF in asthma and skin immediate hypersensitivity. A total of 6 samples were analyzed; wild type C57BL/6, FcRg KO and FceRIa KO mice were challenged with PBS (control) or mouse histamien-releasing factor

Basophils prime group 2 innate lymphoid cells for neuropeptide-mediated inhibition [RNA-seq]

Project description:Type 2 cytokine responses promote parasitic immunity and initiate tissue repair but, can also result in immunopathologies when not properly restricted. Basophilia is recognized as a common feature of type 2 inflammation, however, the roles basophils play in regulating these responses remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that helminth-induced ILC2 responses are exaggerated in the absence of basophils, resulting in increased inflammation and diminished lung function. Additionally, we show that ILC2s from basophil-depleted mice express reduced levels of the receptor for the neuropeptide, neuromedin B (NMB). Critically, NMB stimulation inhibited ILC2 responses from control but not basophil-depleted mice, and basophils were sufficient to directly enhance NMB receptor (NMBR) expression on ILC2s. These studies suggest that basophils prime ILC2s to respond to neuron-derived signals necessary to maintain tissue integrity. Further, these data provide mechanistic insight into the functions of basophils and identify NMB as a potent inhibitor of type 2 inflammation.
