Interleukin 2 distinctly activates human basophils in skin disorders

ABSTRACT: Basophils are important effector cells in allergic inflammation, anti-parasitic immune response and skin disorders. A number of activators including interleukin 3 (IL-3) and IgE have been identified in the regulation of human basophils expressing mediators such as histamine and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13. Human basophils express high levels of IL-2 receptors. However, the function of the IL-2 pathway in basophils remains unknown. Here, we identify that IL-2-stimulated human basophils in vitro express a variety of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including IL-5, IL-13, GM-CSF and CCL-17. Of note, one of the top regulated cytokines, IL-5, was for the first time identified to be expressed in human basophils and was distinctly regulated by IL-2, independently of IL-3 and IgE. Immunofluorescence analysis of skin specimens from bullous pemphigoid and eczema revealed that infiltrating basophils in skin lesions widely express IL-5 and GM-CSF. Together, our findings reveal IL-2 as a novel regulator of human basophils to express IL-5 and GM-CSF in skin disorders. This adds a new layer to support the importance of basophils in skin disorders.

Role of interleukin-4 in the licensing of dendritic cells for the induction of Th2 responses [B]

Project description:T helper type 2 (Th2) responses are crucial for defense against infections by helminths and are responsible for the development of allergic reactions that can lead to severe clinical disorders, such as asthma or anaphylaxis, and ultimately to death. The induction of Th2 responses requires a specific activation process, triggered by specialized dendritic cells (DCs), by which naive CD4+ Th0 cells acquire the capacity to produce Th2 cytokines. However, the mechanistic basis of the functional specialization enabling DCs for the initiation of Th2 responses has remained elusive. Here we show that interleukin-4 (IL-4), a cytokine produced by basophils, mast cells and Th2-polarized CD4+ T helper cells, exerting a crucial function during anti-helminths and allergic Th2 responses, has a key role in the licensing/conditioning of DCs for the induction of Th2 responses, by bloking their potential to produce Th1-driving cytokines, such as IL-12, IL-18 and IL-23. Microarray analyses (duplicates) were used to compared the transcriptional profile of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) cultured with GM-CSF in the absence or presence of interleukin-4: IL4-moDCs versus C-moDCs.

TLR-mediated basophil production of IL-4 and IL-13 in human and mouse

Project description:It has been previously shown that airway exposure to Toll-like receptor ligands through lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-contaminated house dust or bacterial infections can exacerbate allergic inflammation; however, the underlying mechanism(s) controlling this response have not been fully elucidated. Here we report that basophils are the major source of Th2 cytokines that respond to TLR4 ligands, such as LPS and lipid A, in human PBMC and murine spleen cells. LPS activated human PBMCs to up-regulate mRNAs for not only pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and chemokines such as CXCL8 (IL-8), CCL2 (MCP-1), but also Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL13. Among PBMCs, we identified CD123+/BDCA4- basophils as the major source of IL-4 and IL-13 in response to LPS. Even in the absence of IgE, purified human basophils, as well as a basophilic cell line, were directly activated by LPS to produce IL-4 and IL-13. Moreover, LPS-stimulated IL-4 knockin mouse (4get mice) spleens identified the basophils as the major IL-4 producing cells in a TLR4-dependent manner. These results indicate that bacterial LPS may play a role in type-2 immunity through direct activation of basophils to produce IL-4 and IL-13. Keywords: Cell type comparison

mRNA and long noncoding RNA expression microarrays in GM-CSF or GM-CSF+IL6-induced mouse MDSC

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have emerged as major regulators of immune responses in cancer and other pathological conditions. Multiple factors including cytokines, transcription factors and multiple signaling pathways are involved in MDSC differentiation. Cytokines such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin(IL-6) etc could in vitro mediate development of MDSCs.IL-6 with GM-CSF mediated MDSC not only had stronger suppressive function but also the dynamics of their suppressive function was different from GM-CSF alone mediated MDSCs.To found a new regulatory factor (s) in tumor and inflammatory environments, we compared GM-CSF and IL-6 mediated MDSCs with GM-CSF alone mediated MDSCs using lncRNA microarray and protein-coding mRNA microarrays.

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

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.

Transcriptional heterogeneity of mast cells and basophils upon activation.

Project description:Mast cells and basophils are developmentally related cells whose activation is a hallmark of allergy. Functionally, mast cells and basophils overlap in their ability to produce several mediators, including histamine and granule proteases, but studies have increasingly demonstrated non-redundant roles. To characterize the transcriptional heterogeneity of mast cells and basophils upon their activation, we performed large-scale comparative microarrays of murine bone marrow–derived mast cells (BMMCs) and basophils (BMBs) at rest, upon an adaptive-type activation (IgE crosslinking), or upon an innate-type activation (IL-33 stimulation). Hierarchical clustering demonstrated that BMMCs and BMBs shared specific activation-associated transcriptional signatures but differed in others, both between cell type and between activation mode. In BMMCs, IgE crosslinking upregulated 785 genes including Egr2, Ccl1, and Fxyd6, while IL-33 stimulation induced 823 genes including Ccl1, Egr2, and Il1b. Focused bioinformatics pathway analysis demonstrated that IgE activation aligned with processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, angiogenesis, and the p53 pathway. The IL-33–activated transcriptome was enriched in genes commonly altered by NF-B in response to TNF, by IL-6 via STAT3, and in response to IFN. Furthermore, BMBs activated via IgE crosslinking selectively induced immune response genes Ccl1, Il3, and Il2 compared to IL-33–stimulated BMBs. Principal-component analysis revealed key cell- and activation-specific clustering. Overall, our data demonstrate that mast cells and basophils have cell- and activation-specific transcriptional responses and suggest that context-specific gene networks and pathways may shape how the immune system responds to allergens and innate cytokines.

Adrianne2018 - Modelling combined virotherapy and immunotherapy: strengthening the antitumour immune response mediated by IL-12 and GM-CSF expression

Project description:Modelling combined virotherapy and immunotherapy:strengthening the antitumour immune response mediated byIL-12 and GM-CSF expression Adrianne L. Jennera, Chae-Ok Yunb, Arum Yoonb, Adelle C. F. Costercand Peter S. Kimaa School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia;bDepartment ofBioengineering, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea;cSchool of Mathematics and Statistics, University of NewSouth Wales, Sydney, Australia ABSTRACT Combined virotherapy and immunotherapy has been emergingas a promising and effective cancer treatment for some time.Intratumoural injections of an oncolytic virus instigate an immunereaction in the host, resulting in an influx of immune cells tothe tumour site. Through combining an oncolytic viral vector withimmunostimulatory cytokines an additional antitumour immuneresponse can be initiated, whereby immune cells induce apoptosisin both uninfected and virus infected tumour cells. We developa mathematical model to reproduce the experimental results fortumour growth under treatment with an oncolytic adenovirus co-expressing the immunostimulatory cytokines interleukin 12 (IL-12)and granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Byexploring heterogeneity in the immune cell stimulation by thetreatment, we find a subset of the parameter space for the immunecell induced apoptosis rate, in which the treatment will be lesseffective in a short time period. Therefore, we believe the bivariatenature of treatment outcome, whereby tumours are either completelyeradicated or grow unbounded, can be explained by heterogeneity inthis immune characteristic. Furthermore, the model highlights theapparent presence of negative feedback in the helper T cell and APCstimulation dynamics, when IL-12 and GM-CSF are co-expressed asopposed to individually expressed by the viral vector.

A cell atlas of mouse lung development reveals a signaling role for lung basophils in alveolar macrophage maturation

Project description:Lung development and function arises from the interactions between diverse cell types and lineages. Using single cell RNA-seq we characterize the cellular composition of the lung during development and identify vast dynamics in both the composition of cells and their molecular characteristics. Analyzing 818 ligand-receptor interaction pairs within and between cell lineages, we identify broadly interacting cells, including AT2, ILC and basophils. Using IL33-receptor knockout mice and in vitro experiments, we show that basophils establish a lung-specific function imprinted by IL-33 and GM-CSF, characterized by unique signaling of cytokines and growth factors important for stromal, epithelial and myeloid cell fates. Antibody depletion strategies, diphtheria toxin–mediated selective depletion of basophils, and co-culture studies, show that lung resident basophils are important regulators of alveolar macrophage development and function. Together, our study demonstrates how whole tissue cell interaction analysis on the single cell level can broaden our understanding of cellular networks in health and disease.

Human Eosinophils Express a Distinct Gene Expression Program in Response to IL-3 Compared to Common Beta-Chain Cytokines IL-5 and GM-CSF

Project description:Background: Despite recent advances in asthma management with anti-IL-5 therapies, many patients with eosinophilic asthma remain poorly controlled. IL-3 shares a common beta subunit receptor with both IL-5 and GM-CSF, but through alpha subunit-specific properties, uniquely influences eosinophil biology and may serve as a potential therapeutic target. Objective: We aimed to globally characterize the transcriptomic profiles of GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 stimulation and identify differences in gene expression using advanced statistical modeling. Methods: Human eosinophils were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers and stimulated with either GM-CSF, IL-3 or IL-5 for 48 hours. RNA was then extracted and bulk sequencing performed. DESeq analysis identified differentially expressed genes and weighted gene co-expression network analysis independently defined modules of genes that are highly co-expressed. Results: IL-3 stimulation yielded the most numbers of differentially expressed genes that were also highly co-expressed. GM-CSF and IL-5 stimulation demonstrated redundancy in eosinophil gene expression. Conclusion: IL-3 produces a distinct eosinophil gene expression program among the beta-chain receptor cytokines.
