Project description:The gastrointestinal tract of mammals is inhabited by hundreds of distinct species of commensal microorganisms that exist in a mutualistic relationship with the host. The process by which the commensal microbiota influence the host immune system is poorly understood. We show here that colonization of the small intestine of mice with a single commensal microbe, segmented filamentous bacterium (SFB), is sufficient to induce the appearance of CD4+ T helper cells that produce IL-17 and IL-22 (Th17 cells) in the lamina propria. SFB adhere tightly to the surface of epithelial cells in the terminal ileum of mice with Th17 cells but are absent from mice that have few Th17 cells. Colonization with SFB was correlated with increased expression of genes associated with inflammation, anti-microbial defenses, and tissue repair, and resulted in enhanced resistance to the intestinal pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Control of Th17 cell differentiation by SFB may thus establish a balance between optimal host defense preparedness and potentially damaging T cell responses. Manipulation of this commensal-regulated pathway may provide new opportunities for enhancing mucosal immunity and treating autoimmune disease. Experiment Overall Design: We compared the gene expression profiles in the terminal ileum of Swiss-Webster GF mice before and after colonization with SFB, which induced robust Th17 cell differentiation. To sieve out host effects, the role of other microbiota, as well as other factors, we also evaluated the transcriptional program induced in Jackson C57BL/6 mice after co-housing with Taconic B6 animals, which also induces Th17 cell differentiation. 0.5 cm of the most distal part of the small intestine was dissected. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol. RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays following the Affymetrix protocols. Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX10.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare mRNAs expressed by Th17 cells and ILC3s in small intestine of lamina propria of mice. Methods: Small intestine were digested with collagenase, dispase, and DNase. Percoll enriched lamina propria Th17 and ILCs sorted by BD ARIA II. Total RNA were harvested and sequencing were performe. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and TopHat followed by CuffDiff. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: Small intestine Th17 cells and ILCs exhibit differential gene expression profiles.

Project description:We report that adhesion of microbes to intestinal epithelial cells is a critical cue for Th17 induction. SFB colonized in the intestine of mice can adhere to mouse small intestinal epithelial cells and induce intestinal Th17 cells. However, SFB colonized in rats cannot adhere to mouse intestinal epithelial cells and induce Th17 cells. Likewise, Citrobacter rodentium (WT) can adhere to mouse colonic epithelial cells and induce Th17 cells, but non-adherent mutant of C. rodentium (Δeae) cannot induce Th17 cells. To examine the influence of adherent bacteria on intestinal epithelial cells, we performed RNA seq. Germ free mice were orally inoculated with M-SFB or R-SFB and total RNA was isolated from small intestinal epithelial cells 1 week after inoculation. Alternatively, germ free mice were orally inoculated with C. rodentium WT or eae mutant and total RNA was isolated from colonic epithelial cells 5 days after inoculation. The gene expression of small intestinal epithelial cells isolated from small intestine of germ free mice (2 mice), mice monocolonized with M-SFB (2 mice) or R-SFB (3 mice), and colon of germ free mice (3 mice), mice monocolonized C. rodentium WT (3 mice) or eae mutant (3 mice).

Project description:Vertebrates typically harbor a rich gastrointestinal microbiota, which has co-evolved with the host over millennia and is essential for several of its physiological functions, in particular maturation of the immune system. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of a single bacterial species, segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), in inducing a robust T helper (Th)17 population in the small intestinal lamina propria (SI-LP) of the mouse gut. Consequently, SFB can promote IL-17-dependent immune and autoimmune responses, gut-associated as well as systemic, including inflammatory arthritis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Here, we exploit the incomplete penetrance of SFB colonization of NOD mice in our animal facility to explore its impact on the incidence and course of type-1 diabetes in this prototypical, spontaneous model. There was a strong co-segregation of SFB-positivity and diabetes protection in females, but not in males, which remained relatively disease-free regardless of the SFB status. In contrast, insulitis did not depend on SFB colonization. SFB-positive, but not SFB-negative, females had a substantial population of Th17 cells in the SI-LP, which was the only significant, repeatable difference in the examined T cell compartments of the gut, pancreas or systemic lymphoid tissues. Th17 signature transcripts dominated the very limited SFB-induced molecular changes detected in SI-LP CD4+ T cells. Thus, a single bacterium, and the gut immune system alterations associated with it, can either promote or protect from autoimmunity in predisposed mouse models, likely reflecting their variable dependence on different Th subsets.

All gene expression profiles were obtained from highly purified T cell populations sorted by flow cytometry. Cells were sorted from individual mice with at least four replicates generated for all groups. RNA from 1-5 x 104 cells was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mo GENE 1.0ST microarrays. Raw data were preprocessed with the RMA algorithm in GenePattern, and averaged expression values were used for analysis.

Project description:To investigate SFB-host interactions and the host response to SFB, we compared gene expression profiles in terminal ileal mucosa collected from 5 SFB-positive and 5-negative age-matched patients identified from SFB PCR. We observed that 472 genes were different between the two groups (P < 0.05). Among them, 290 genes were up-regulated and 182 were down-regulated. GO biological pathway analysis of up-regulated genes revealed positive regulation of T-cell differentiation and activation pathways were enhanced (P < 0.001), suggesting that SFB colonization stimulated the human immune system, specifically T-cell maturation. Indeed, enhanced expression of Cd3e, Ifng, IL10, Foxp3 was observed in terminal ileal mucosa of 5 SFB-positive patients. To find immune-related genes significantly expressed (p < 0.05) between SFB-positive and -negative

Project description:Induction of adaptive immune responses to commensal microbes is critical for intestinal homeostasis, and perturbation of these responses is associated with multiple chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the induction and regulation of mucosal B cells targeting commensal microbes remain poorly understood, in part due to a lack of tools to identify commensal-specific B cells ex vivo. To address this, we first sought to identify immunodominant protein epitopes recognized by Segmented Filamentous Bacteria (SFB) specific serum antibodies using a whole-genome phage display screen and identified immunogenic proteins engaging IgA, IgG1 and IgG2b responses. Using these antigens, we generated B cell tetramers to identify and track SFB-specific B cell responses in the gut associated lymphoid tissue during natural and de novo colonization. We identified a compartmentalized response in B cell activation between Peyer’s patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, with a gradient of IgA, IgG1 and IgG2b isotypes along the small intestine, and selective production of IgG2b with the mesenteric lymph node chain. VDJ sequencing analyses and generation of SFB-specific monoclonal antibodies identified that somatic hypermutation drives affinity maturation to SFB derived antigens under homeostatic conditions. By combining phage display screening and B cell tetramer technologies, we now enable antigen-level based studies of immunity to intestinal microbes, which will advance our understanding of the ontogeny and function of commensal-specific B cell responses in tissue immunity, inflammation and repair.
