Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) were initially considered as critical for innate immunity to viruses. However, our group has shown that pDCs bind to and inhibit the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus hyphae and that depletion of pDCs renders mice hypersusceptible to experimental aspergillosis. In this study, we examined pDC receptors responsible for hyphal recognition and downstream events in pDCs stimulated by A. fumigatus hyphae. Our data show that Dectin-2 but not Dectin-1 participates in hyphal recognition by pDCs and that Dectin-2 acts in cooperation with the FcRγ chain to trigger signaling responses. In addition, using confocal and electron microscopy we demonstrated that the interaction between pDCs and A. fumigatus induced the formation of pDC extracellular traps (pETs) containing DNA and citrullinated histone H3. Thus, these structures closely resembled those of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Microarray analysis of the pDC transcriptome upon A. fumigatus infection demonstrated up-regulated expression of genes previously associated with viral infections or apoptosis. Moreover, the abundant expression of type I Interferon-encoding genes seen in CpG-stimulated pDCs was absent in the pDCs infected with A. fumigatus hyphae. Thus, human pDCs directly recognize A. fumigatus hyphae via Dectin-2. This interaction leads to formation of pET and triggers a distinct pattern of pDC gene expression. The spectrum of changes in gene expression was examined in pDCs from 3 blood donors, 2 and 4h following incubation with hyphae. Comparative controls included unstimulated and CpG-stimulated pDCs.

Project description:CpG 1826 binds to Toll-like receptor (TLR)9, whereas influenza virus PR8 activates pDC via TLR7. Differential stimulation of pDCs is expected to result in unique activation mechanism(s) leading to a different phenotypically and functionally matured pDC; We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the maturation process of pDC activated with CpG 1826 and influenza virus PR8. We identified a distinct expression profile of upregulated immunomediators. Experiment Overall Design: Sorted pDCs were cultured for 1h and 4hs in medium control or with 5 µg/ml CpG 1826 or 300 HAU/ml purified influenza A/PR/8 virus. The first experiment (e1) included pDC in media and stimulated with CpG for 4h. In two other independent experimental batches (e2 and e3), we obtained samples of sorted pDC cultured in medium alone (med), and with CpG or PR8 (flu) for 1h and 4h. RNA extraction was performed using the RNeasy Kit (Qiagen) and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays was performed using standard protocols. We sought to obtain homogeneous populations of pDCs at different time points under defined activation conditions in order to decipher the temporal resolution of expression profiles during the process of their maturation.

Project description:The aim of this work was to determine the genes and mechanisms involved in IL-9- and CCL1-mediated protection against glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. We made the hypothesis that the expression of the really critical mediators could be regulated in a reciprocal way by Dex on the one hand and anti-apoptotic cytokines such as IL-9 and CCL1 on the other hand.Therefore, we performed a comprehensive study of the genes expressed by BW5147 cells stimulated with or without Dex, IL-9 and CCL1, taking advantage of the Affymetrix microarray technology.

Project description:Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are usually innocuous viruses; however, they can trigger serious consequences in certain individuals, especially in the setting of deficient interferon (IFN) synthesis. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are key IFN producing cells, though we know little about the mechanisms by which pDC regulate HRV-induced immune responses. Herein we used gene expression microarrays to examine HRV-induced mRNA in blood mononuclear cells from healthy people, in combination with pDC depletion to assess whether observed expression patterns were pDC dependent. As expected, pDC depletion led to a major reduction in HRV-induced IFN-α release, and this was associated with profound differences in gene expression between intact PBMC and pDC depleted PBMC. pDC depletion led to major changes in upstream regulators, with 70-80% of the HRV activated genes appearing to be pDC dependent. PCR validation experiments confirmed changes seen in the microarrays, specifically the extent to which the following differentially expressed genes were highly pDC dependent: the transcription factor IRF7, both IL-27 chains (IL-27 and EBI3), the alpha chain of the IL-15 receptor (IL-15RA) and the IFN stimulated gene IFI27. IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-27 protein synthesis were also highly pDC dependent. Supplementing pDC-depleted cultures with either recombinant IFN-γ, IL-15, IL-27 or IL-6 was able to restore the IFN-α response, thereby compensating for the absence of pDC. Though pDC comprise only a minority population of migratory leukocytes, our findings highlight the extent to which these cells are able to exert a profound effect on the immune response to HRV.

Project description:Type I interferons (IFN) are crucial mediators of human innate and adaptive immunity and are massively produced from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC). IRF7 is a critical regulator of type I IFN production when pathogens are detected by TLR7/9 in pDC. However, hyperactivation of pDC can cause life-threatening autoimmune diseases. To avoid the deleterious effects of aberrant pDC activation, tight regulation of IRF7 is required. Nonetheless, the detailed mechanisms of how IRF7 transcription is regulated in pDC are still elusive. To this end, we identified the global gene expression changes after stimulation of human primary pDC with the TLR9 agonist CpGB. We identified that the transcription factor MYC is prominently upregulated upon CpGB engagement in pDC. Moreover, when we knocked down MYC in the pDC-like cell line GEN2.2, production of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) was dramatically increased and was further enhanced by CpGB. Interestingly, MYC is shown to be recruited to the IRF7 promoter region through interaction with NCOR2/HDAC3 for its repression, and HDAC3 inhibition enhanced IRF7 expression and IFNβ production. Interestingly, activation of TLR9-mediated NF-kB and MAPK and nuclear translocation of IRF7 were greatly enhanced by MYC depletion. Pharmaceutical inhibition of MYC recovered IRF7 expression, further confirming the negative role of MYC in the antiviral response by pDC. Furthermore, the inverse correlation of MYC and IRF7 was validated in psoriasis skin sample datasets. Therefore, our results identify the novel immunomodulatory role of MYC in human pDC and may add to our understanding of aberrant pDC function in autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and parkinsonism-dementia complex (PDC) (ALS/PDC) is a unique endemic neurodegenerative disease, with high-incidence foci in the Kii Peninsula, Japan. Although ALS/PDC presents with multiple proteinopathies, the genetic and environmental factors that influence disease onset remain unknown. We performed transcriptome analyses of patients’ brains, which may provide new insights into the pathomechanisms underlying Kii ALS/PDC. We prepared frozen brains from 3 healthy controls (frontal lobe and temporal lobe), 3 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (frontal lobe and temporal lobe) as tauopathy-disease controls, and 21 patients with Kii ALS/PDC (frontal lobe and/or temporal lobe). We acquired microarray data from the cerebral gray and white matter tissues of Kii ALS/PDC patients. Microarray data revealed that the expression levels of genes associated with neurons, heat shock proteins (Hsps), DNA binding/damage, and senescence were significantly changed in Kii ALS/PDC brains compared with those in control brains. The RNA expression pattern observed for Kii ALS type brains was similar to that for Kii PDC type brains and unlike those of control and AD brains. Additionally, pathway and network analyses indicated that the molecular pathogenic mechanism underlying Kii ALS/PDC may be associated with the oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria, ribosomes, and the synaptic vesicle cycle; in particular, upstream regulators of these mechanisms may be found in synapses and during synaptic trafficking. Therefore, we propose the novel disease concept of “synaptopathy” for Kii ALS/PDC. Furthermore, phenotypic differences between Kii ALS type and Kii PDC type were observed, based on the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype. We performed exhaustive transcriptome analyses of Kii ALS/PDC brains, for the first time, and revealed new insights indicating that Kii ALS/PDC may be a synaptopathy. Determining the relationship between synaptic dysfunction and the pathogenesis of ALS/PDC may provide a new step toward understanding this mysterious disease.
