Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse comparing in vitro-derived DC progenitors from control and Gata2 conditional knockout mice. Two-condition experiment, Control DCs vs. G2 Knockout DCs. Biological replicates: 4 control, 3 Gata2 knockout, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array. Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical immune response regulators; however, the mechanism of DC differentiation is not fully understood. Heterozygous germline GATA2 mutations induce GATA2 deficiency syndrome, characterized by monocytopenia, a predisposition to myelodysplasia/acute myeloid leukemia, and a profoundly reduced DC population, which is associated with increased susceptibility to viral infections, impaired phagocytosis, and decreased cytokine production. To define the role of GATA2 in DC differentiation and function, we studied Gata2 conditional knockout and haploinsufficient mice. Gata2 conditional deficiency significantly reduced the DC count, whereas Gata2 haploinsufficiency did not affect this population. GATA2 was required for the in vitro generation of DCs from Linâ??Sca-1+Kit+ cells, common myeloid-restricted progenitors, and common dendritic cell precursors, but not common lymphoid-restricted progenitors or granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, suggesting that GATA2 functions in the myeloid pathway of DC differentiation. Moreover, expression profiling demonstrated reduced expression of myeloid-related genes, including mafb, and increased expression of T-lymphocyte-related genes, including Gata3 and Tcf7, in Gata2-deficient DC progenitors. In addition, GATA2 was found to bind an enhancer element 190-kb downstream region of Gata3, and a reporter assay exhibited significantly reduced luciferase activity after adding this enhancer region to the Gata3 promoter, which was recovered by GATA sequence deletion within Gata3 +190. These results suggest that GATA2 plays an important role in cell fate specification toward the myeloid versus T lymphocyte lineage by regulating lineage-specific transcription factors in DC progenitors, thereby contributing to DC differentiation.

Project description:Cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) is a member of the Rho GTPase family and has pivotal functions in actin organization, cell migration and proliferation. Cdc42 has been shown to regulate antigen (Ag)-uptake in immature dendritic cells (DC) and controls their migration from tissues to lymph nodes. Previous reports demonstrated that Cdc42 is inactivated upon DC-maturation to avoid continued Ag-acquisition. To further study the molecular mechanisms of DC-control by Cdc42, we used bone marrow-derived DCs from Cdc42-deficient mice. We show that Cdc42-deficient DCs are phenotypically mature without additional maturation stimuli, as they upregulate CD86 from intracellular storages to the cell surface. They also accumulate invariant chain (Ii)-MHC class II complexes at the cell surface, which cannot efficiently present peptide Ag for priming of Ag-specific CD4 T cells. Lack of Cdc42 in immature DCs does not allow MHC class II maturation, as lysosomal Cathepsins are lost into the supernatant and Ii-MHC class II complexes cannot mature. Therefore Cdc42-deficient DCs are "pseudomature" and lose most functional hallmarks of antigen-presenting cells. Our results propose that Cdc42 keeps DCs in an immature state, while downregulation of Cdc42-activity during maturation facilitates generation of CD86+MHCII+ mature DCs.

Project description:The functional diversification of dendritic cells (DCs) is a key step in establishing protective immune responses. Despite the importance of this lineage diversity, its genetic basis is not fully understood. DC-SCRIPT (Zfp366) is a poorly known transcription factor expressed in conventional DCs (cDCs) and their committed bone marrow progenitors but not in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). We show that mice lacking DC-SCRIPT displayed substantially impaired development of IRF8-dependent conventional DC1 (cDC1), while cDC2 differentiated normally. The residual DC-SCRIPT-deficient cDC1s had impaired CD8+ T-cell cross-priming, which could be in part explained by the direct control of DC-SCRIPT on IL-12p40 production. Genome-wide mapping of DC-SCRIPT binding and gene expression analyses revealed a key role for DC-SCRIPT in maintaining cDC1 identity via the direct regulation of cDC1 signature genes, including Irf8. Our study reveals DC-SCRIPT to be a critical component of the gene regulatory program shaping the functional attributes of cDC1s.

Project description:We determined the microRNA profile of conventional DCs, plasmacytoid DCs, in vitro derived conventional DCs, and DC precursors in the bone marrow. We then compared conventional DCs to plasmacytoid DCs, conventional DCs and in vitro conventional DCs. In addition, we used MDS analysis to compare all the profiles.

Project description:In this study, we generated a chimeric situation by injection of different gene-modified BM-DCs into different strains of gene-modified recipient mice. This allowed us to identify the separate functional contributions of injected versus endogenous DCs for Th1 polarization. We identified the cellular source of IL-12p70 production after subcutaneous BM-DC vaccination as endogenous migratory XCR1+ bystander DCs in the skin draining lymph nodes. DC-DC and DCT cell interaction studies revealed a time course of Th0 priming by injected BM-DCs, followed by interactions of BM-DC with the IL-12+ XCR1+ bystander DCs, and finally IL-12+ XCR1+ bystander DC interactions for Th1 induction. Transcriptional profiling of the bystander DCs underscores their Th1 polarization potential. Together, this study shows that DC-vaccination requires the bystander activation of endogenous DCs for Th1 priming. Our data also challenge the general concept of Th1 priming by a single DC providing all signals 1, 2 and 3 to T cells for Th1 polarization.

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC) maturation is a prerequisite for the induction of adaptive immune responses against pathogens and cancer. Transcription factor (TF) networks control differential aspects of early DC progenitor versus late stage DC cell fate decisions. Here, we identified the TF C/EBPβ as a key regulator for DC maturation and immunogenic functionality under homeostatic and lymphoma-transformed conditions. Gene expression profiles of splenic C/EBPβ-/- DCs showed a strong downregulation of E2F cell cycle target genes, whereas signatures of maturation were enriched. In accordance with E2F1 being a negative regulator of DC maturation, C/EBPβ-/- bone marrow-derived DCs matured much faster enabling them to strongly activate T cells. Conversely, the E2F transcriptional pathways were upregulated in lymphoma-exposed DCs and DC maturation was impaired. Pharmacological blockade of C/EBPβ/mTOR signaling in human DCs abrogated their pro-tumorigenic function in B-cell lymphoma co-cultures. Thus, C/EBPβ plays a unique role in DC maturation and functionality and emerges as a key factor of the microenvironment promoting lymphomagenesis.
