Project description:The ontogeny of human Langerhans cells (LCs) remains poorly characterized, in particular the nature of LC precursors and the factors that may drive LC differentiation. Through a systematic transcriptomic analysis of TSLP-activated dendritic cells (DCs), we unexpectedly identified markers that have been associated with a skin-homing potential as well as with a LC phenotype. We performed transcriptomic analysis of TSLP-activated blood DCs, as compared to freshly purified, Medium-, and TNF-activated DCs. Among TSLP up-regulated genes, we identified molecules associated with skin homing, LC phenotype, and LC function, as determined by a literature-based survey. Conversely, genes not expressed in LCs were not found among TSLP-induced genes. Further experiments showed that TGF-? synergized with TSLP leading to the differentiation of blood BDCA-1+ DCs into bona fide Birbeck granule-positive LCs.

Dendritic cells (DC) were purified from the blood of healthy human donors. Each replicate comes from a different donor. There are 6 freshly purified samples (Control_0h), 4 DC samples cultured during 6h with no additional stimulus than the medium (Control_6h), 5 samples cultured during 6h with recombinant TSLP (Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin at 20 ng/uL) (TSLP_6h) and 3 samples cultured during 6h with recombinant TNF (Tumor necrosis factor at 20 ng/mL) (TNF_6h).

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic and inflammatory disorder characterized by elevated levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Pruritus is prevalent in epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Currently, epidermal barrier disruption is known to trigger TSLP upregulation, however, mechanisms controlling TSLP expression remain incompletely understood. Tslp levels were highly upregulated in the epidermis and in the serum of keratin-deficient mice. Cultured keratinocytes either lacking keratins or expressing the dominant K14p.Arg131Pro show highly increased TSLP. Re-expression of wild-type K14 normalized TSLP levels. We demonstrate that keratins regulate Tslp expression in parts through MEK1/2 activation. The finding that 8 out of 17 EBS patients show elevated TSLP serum levels supports a major role of keratins in TSLP regulation. Our data identify a novel, keratin-dependent and cell-intrinsic regulation of Tslp. Elevated TSLP levels likely explain the high prevalence of pruritus in EBS and additional forms of EB, suggesting TSLP as novel biomarker for pruritus in EB. MEK1/2, in addition to calcineurin inhibitors, might be suitable drugs to treat itch in EB. Investigation was carried out using Keratin deficient keratinocytes isolated from typeI keratin mice.

Project description:Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a type I cytokine that plays a central role in induction of allergic inflammatory responses. Its principal targets have been reported to be dendritic cells and / or CD4 T cells; epithelial cells are a principal source. We report here the development of a reporter mouse (TSLP-ZsG) in which a ZsGreen (ZsG)-encoding construct has been inserted by recombineering into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) immediately at the translation initiating ATG of TSLP. The expression of ZsG by mice transgenic for the recombinant BAC appears to be a faithful surrogate for TSLP expression, particularly in keratinocytes and medullary thymic epithelials cells (mTECs). A comparison of gene expression in ZsG expressing and ZsG negative mTECs and cortical thymic epithelial cells, which are all ZsG negative, revealed that all three populations can be distinguished from one another. In particular ZsG (and TSLP) expressing mTECs and ZsG- mTECs are separable populations based on gene expression profiling. Little or no expression of ZsG is observed in bone marrow-derived mast cells or basophils or in CD45+ cells infiltrating TSLP/ZsG-expressing skin. Using the TSLP-ZsG reporter mouse, we show that TNFa and IL-4/IL-13 are potent inducers of TSLP expression by keratinocytes and that local activation of Th2 and Th1 cells induces keratinocyte TSLP expression. We suggest that the capacity of TSLP to both induce Th2 differentiation and to be induced by activated Th2 cells raises the possibility that TSLP may be involved in a positive feedback loop to enhance allergic inflammatory conditions.

Project description:Recruitment of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to tumors is a hallmark of cancer progression. However, the role of epithelial cell-derived cytokines in regulation of Treg cells in colorectal cancers is not fully understood. We found a subset of Tregs co-expressing the receptors for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 (TSLPR+ST2+ Tregs) was increased in colorectal tumors in humans and mice. This Treg subset expressed high levels of CTLA-4 and PD-1, and TSLPR signaling regulated the expression of CTLA-4 and number of TSLPR+ST2+ Tregs. Treg-specfic deletion of TSLPR resulted in a reduction in tumor number and size, with concomitant increase of Th1 cells in tumors. Similarly, blockade of TSLP effectively inhibited progression of colorectal tumors. On the other hand, TSLPR-ST2+ Tregs highly express Tgfb1 and Pdcd,1 which have been shown to suppress CD8+ T cell immune responses. Collectively, TSLP and IL-33 differentially regulate subsets of Tregs in the progression of colorectal tumor. These data suggest that TSLPR+ST2+ Treg cells are potentially a biomarker, and a therapeutic target for CRC.

Project description:In this study, we explored gene expression profiles of mature and immature basophils from either IL-3-elicited or TSLP-elicited BMBAs. We revealed that TSLP-elicited mature basophils displayed gene expression profile similar to that of IL-3-elicited mature rather than immature basophils.

Project description:TGF-beta is one of the key cytokines implicated in various disease processes including cancer. TGF-beta inhibits growth and promotes apoptosis in normal epithelial cells and in contrast, acts as a pro-tumour cytokine by promoting tumour angiogenesis, immune-escape and metastasis. The effect of TGF-beta on the regulation of gene expression is cell-type specific. In order to identify TGF-beta regulated genes in different cell-types, we followed the expression profiling approach. Keywords: cell type specific response to TGF-beta
