Project description:TGF-β family ligands are key regulators of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation and activation. Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) require TGF-β family signaling for their differentiation and canonical TGF-β1 signaling secures a non-activated LC state. LCs reportedly control skin inflammation and are replenished from peripheral blood monocytes, which also give rise to pro-inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs). By studying mechanisms in inflammation, we previously screened LCs vs moDCs for differentially expressed miRNAs. miR-424/503 was the most strongly inversely regulated (moDCs > LCs). We found that miR-424/503 is induced during moDC differentiation and promotes moDC differentiation in human and mouse. Inversely, forced repression of miR-424 during moDC differentiation facilitated TGF-β1-dependent LC differentiation. Mechanistically, miR-424/503 deficiency in monocyte/DC precursors leads to the induction of TGF-β1-response genes critical for LC differentiation. Therefore, the miR-424/503 gene cluster plays a decisive role in anti-inflammatory LC vs pro-inflammatory moDC differentiation from monocytes.

Project description:Langerhans cells (LCs) populate the mucosal epithelium, a major entry portal for pathogens, yet their ontogeny remains unclear. In contrast to skin LCs originating from self-renewing radioresistant embryonic precursors, we found that oral mucosal LCs derive from circulating radiosensitive precursors. Mucosal LCs can be segregated into CD103+CD11blow (CD103+LCs) and CD11b+CD103- (CD11b+LCs) subsets. We further demonstrated that similar to non-lymphoid dendritic cells (DCs), CD103+LCs originate from pre-DCs, whereas CD11b+LCs differentiate from both pre-DCs and monocytic precursors. Despite this ontogenetic discrepancy between skin and mucosal LCs, transcriptomic signature and immunological function of oral LCs highly resemble those of skin LCs but not DCs. These findings, along with their epithelial position, morphology and expression of LC-associated phenotype strongly suggest that oral mucosal LCs are genuine LCs. Collectively, in a tissue-dependent manner, murine LCs differentiate from at least three distinct precursors (embryonic, pre-DCs and monocytic) in steady state The following cells were isolated from mice (2-4 replicates): Lung DCs, mucosal CD103+ LC, mucosal CD11b+ LC, Skin LC. Transcriptome analysis was performed.

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:Langerhans cells (LCs) are skin-resident professional antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) to maintain skin homeostasis. The number and function of LCs are significantly reduced during the skin aging processes, which is closely related to the aging-associated skin disorders. However, the reasons underlying the changes of LC features with age are uncertain. Mitochondria are well known to be the main powerhouse to regulate cell fitness and function, and a decline in mitochondrial quality and activity was associated with normal aging and correlated with the development of a wide range of age-related diseases. So far, it is unknown if mitochondrial abnormality is involved in skin disorders by regulating LC homeostasis. The mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) acts as a nuclear-encoded transcription factor and plays a critical role in mitochondrial stabilization. To explore the role of mitochondrial quality in LC homeostasis, we generated the mice with conditional deletion of Tfam in LC lineage. We found that Tfam-deficient LCs exhibits mitochondrial abnormality including morphology and membrane permeability of mitochondria, decreased cell number as well as maturation, whereas increased phagocytosis and inflammatory response of LCs. Interestingly, age-LCs from human skin have lower Tfam expression compared to young-LCs, and have the similar features with Tfam-deficient LCs analyzed by scRNA sequence (HRA000395). Thus, our data highlight that Tfam-mediated mitochondrial stability is essential for epidermal LC maintenance and function, which might be explain the states of increased susceptible to skin infections and rising incidence of cutaneous tumor in the elder. This is the first time to investigate the effect of mitochondria abnormality on LC homeostasis, which might be helpful for therapeutic interventions in aging-associated skin pathologies.

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.

Project description:Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling is essential in cell growth and differentiation. Yet, the role of the individual TGFβ signaling components in human tissue homeostasis and transformation is still incompletely understood. Here we dissected the importance of the core components in the TGFβ signaling pathway by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of human keratinocytes. The edited keratinocytes were used for human organotypic skin cultures and global quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics by mass spectrometry. Characterization of cells and human organotypic skin tissues showed control of epithelial differentiation by Smad4-dependent TGF signaling through cell cycle regulation and ECM expression. In contrast, we found that the combined Smad4 dependent and independent pathways, governed by TGFβRII, controls epithelial homeostasis and prevents invasive growth by blocking epithelial inflammation and activation of p38 and ERK signaling. The study provides a framework for exploration of signaling pathways in human 3D tissue models and with global phosphoproteomics.

Project description:The autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus (lupus) is characterized in part by photosensitivity, where patients can develop inflammatory skin lesions with even ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Evidence points to a role for type I interferon (IFN-I) in photosensitivity, but mechanistic understanding remains limited. We have shown that photosensitivity in lupus models is at least in part attributable to Langerhans cell (LC) dysfunction. Healthy LCs limit photosensitivity via a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), a sheddase that normally limits UVR-induced skin inflammation by releasing soluble epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands to support keratinocyte survival. On the other hand, LCs from lesional and even non-lesional lupus model skin show reduced ADAM17 activity and mRNA expression. Non-lesional human lupus skin also showed evidence of LC dysfunction, and, here, we asked how the lupus skin environment contributes to this dysfunction. We show that non-lesional skin in human CLE and multiple photosensitive lupus models share gene expression patterns consistent with a high IFN environment and LC dysfunction. IFN-I inhibits murine and human LC ADAM17 activity, and anti-IFNAR1 in lupus models restores LC ADAM17 function and reduces photosensitivity in EGFR and LC ADAM17-dependent manners. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a mediator of ADAM17 activity, and we show that lupus models have reduced UVR-induced LC ROS generation that is restored by anti-IFNAR1. Our findings suggest shared pathogenic mechanisms of photosensitivity in human and murine lupus skin and a model whereby the IFN-I-rich microenvironment in non-lesional lupus skin inhibits UVR-induced ADAM17 activity, predisposing to photosensitivity. Our data also suggest that the beneficial effects of the recently FDA-approved anifrolumab (anti-IFNAR1) on human lupus skin could act in part by restoring LC function.
