Metabolomics Analysis of the Effect of GAT-2 Deficiency on Th1 Cells in Mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The classic neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been shown to shape the activation and function of immune cells. There are four high affinity GABA transporters (GATs, including GAT-1, GAT-2, GAT-3 and GAT-4) responsible for the transmembrane transport of GABA in mice. To explore the effect of GAT-2 on type 1 helper T (Th1) cells, naïve CD4+ T cells were isolated from splenocytes of GAT-2 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice and cultured for Th1 cell differentiation, and then metabolomics analysis of Th1 cells was performed via gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) added with multivariate analyses. The study will provide insights into T cell response to GAT-2 deficiency in mice.

Project description:Hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 is expressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC), lymphatic endothelial cells and specialized macrophages. Besides binding hyaluronan, LYVE-1 mediates adhesion of leukocytes and cancer cells to endothelial cells. Here, we analyzed the impact of LYVE-1 on physiological liver functions and metastasis. Mice with deficiency of Lyve-1 (Lyve-1 KO) were analyzed using histology, immunofluorescence, RNA sequencing, plasma proteomics and flow cytometry. Liver metastasis was studied by intrasplenic/intravenous injection of melanoma (B16F10luc2, WT31) or colorectal carcinoma (MC38) cell lines. Results: Hepatic architecture, liver size, endothelial differentiation and angiocrine functions were unaltered in Lyve-1 KO mice. Hyaluronan plasma levels were significantly increased in Lyve-1-KO mice; besides, plasma proteomics revealed increased carbonic anhydrase-2 and decreased FXIIIA, potential modulators of metastatis. Furthermore, gene expression analysis of LSEC indicated regulation of immunological pathways. Therefore, liver metastasis of a highly and of a weekly immunogenic tumor, i.e. melanoma and colorectal carcinoma (CRC), was analyzed in Lyve-1 KO mice. Hepatic metastasis of B16F10 luc2 and WT31 melanoma cells, but not MC38 CRC cells, was significantly reduced in Lyve-1 KO mice. While short-term adhesion assays with B16F10 luc2 cells in vivo did not show differences between Lyve-1 KO and wild-type mice, increased numbers of resident hepatic CD4+, CD8+ and regulatory T cells were detected in Lyve-1 KO livers. In addition, iron deposition was detected in F4/80+ liver macrophages known to exert pro-inflammatory effects. Conclusions: LYVE-1 deficiency controlled hepatic metastasis in a tumor cell-specific manner reducing hepatic metastasis of melanoma, but not CRC. Anti-tumorigenic effects are likely due to enhancement of the resident hepatic immune microenvironment.

Project description:In this study, we combined mouse genetics and quantitative proteomics to characterize in a comprehensive manner the VAV1 interactome. A line of knock-in mouse expressing endogenous VAV1 molecules with a genetic tag permitting affinity purification was generated and combined with affinity purification and mass spectrometry (AP-MS) to analyze the VAV1 signaling complex that assembles in primary CD4+ T cells over 300 s of activation. This allowed us to describe in a time-resolved manner the interactome of VAV1 in primary CD4+ T cells and to identify 44 previously unknown bindings partners of VAV1. The dataset contains mass spectrometry results from the analysis of AP-MS purifications (based on affinity purification on Streptactin beads of One-Strep-tagged proteins) starting from CD4+ T cells which were either non stimulated or stimulated with pervanadate for different time lengths. Control samples for each time point were prepared from wild-type mice. 8 different conditions were thus analyzed: - VAV1-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted Vav_0) - VAV1-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted Vav_30) - VAV1-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted Vav_120) - VAV1-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted Vav_300) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted WT_0) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted WT_30) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted WT_120) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted WT_300) Four biological replicates were prepared for these 8 different conditions (noted S1, S2, S3, S4), yielding 32 analyzed samples. Three technical nanoLC-MS runs were acquired for each sample (noted R1, R2, R3), except for some samples of the biological series S4 for which 2 technical nanoLC-MS runs were performed. This led to 91 nanoLC-MS raw files composing the dataset.

Project description:Succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder effecting approximately 350 people around the world. Patients suffering from SSADH deficiency experience language acquisition failure, memory deficiencies, autism, increased aggressive behaviors, and seizures. There is a chemical buildup of both gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in the neurological system of these patients. The Aldh5a1-/- knock out mouse model of SSADH deficiency shows the same chemical imbalances as the human disease, with additional fatal tonic-clonic seizures at three weeks of age. The elucidation of seizure causing pathways will facilitate treatment of seizure phenotypes in diseases with related epilepsy. ,Gene expression patterns within the hippocampus, cerebellum, and cortex of SSADH deficient mice (Aldh5a1-/- mice) will be compared to wild type mice at a time point immediately prior to fatal seizures. ,We hypothesis that the SSADH deficient mice experience a dysfunction of glutamate/GABA/ glutamine neurotransmitter cycle linked to astroglial metabolism and/or uptake of neuronally-released glutamate. The increased levels of GHB and GABA lead to down regulation of GABA-B-Receptor leading to seizures. The SSADH deficient phenotype may also be caused by ongoing oxidative damage and the pathological role of succinic semialdehyde.,SSADH deficient mice (Aldh5a1-/- knock out) exhibit fatal seizures around three weeks of age. Mutant and wild type mice will be sacrificed between 17 and 19 days of life, and brain sections will be extracted and frozen (using a standard protocol). Hippocampus, cerebellum, and cortex from three mutant mice and three wild type mice will individually be expression profiled on the Affymetrix platform, giving a total of eighteen arrays. Comparative analysis will then be carried out, evaluating the transcript differences between mutant and wild type mice in each brain region.

Project description:Background & aims: Loss-of-function variants in the PTPN2 gene are associated with increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. We recently showed that Ptpn2 is critical for intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) barrier maintenance, IEC-macrophage communication, and modulation of the gut microbiome in mice, restricting expansion of a small intestinal pathobiont associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we aimed to identify how Ptpn2 loss affects ileal IEC subtypes and their function in vivo. Methods: Constitutive Ptpn2 wild-type, heterozygous, and knockout (KO) mice, as well as mice with inducible deletion of Ptpn2 in IECs, were used in the study. Investigation was performed using imaging techniques, flow cytometry, enteroid culture, and analysis of gene and protein levels of IEC markers. Results: Partial transcriptome analysis showed that expression of Paneth cell-associated antimicrobial peptides Lyz1, Pla2g2a, and Defa6 was down-regulated markedly in Ptpn2-KO mice compared with wild-type and heterozygous. In parallel, Paneth cell numbers were reduced, their endoplasmic reticulum architecture was disrupted, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress protein, C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP), was increased in Ptpn2-KO mice. Despite reduced Paneth cell number, flow cytometry showed increased expression of the Paneth cell-stimulatory cytokines interleukin 22 and interferon γ+ in CD4+ T cells isolated from Ptpn2-KO ileum. Key findings in constitutive Ptpn2-KO mice were confirmed in epithelium-specific Ptpn2ΔIEC mice, which also showed impaired lysozyme protein levels in Paneth cells compared with Ptpn2fl/fl control mice. Conclusions: Constitutive Ptpn2 deficiency affects Paneth cell viability and compromises Paneth cell-specific antimicrobial peptide production. The observed effects may contribute to the increased susceptibility to intestinal infection and dysbiosis in these mice.

Project description:In order to identify some lncRNA potentially involved in Rett syndrome we performed a mouse lncRNA expression microarray on whole brain samples coming from wild-type and MeCP2 Knock-out littermates. We found 2 lncRNAs directly bound by MeCP2 and upregulated in KO samples. We then focused on AK081227 because it overlaps with Gabrr2. The expression of this GABA receptor and the overlapping AK081227 are inversely correlated in thalamus, suggesting the long non-coding is regulating his own host. Whole brain total RNA was extracted from two Wild type mice (P60) and two MeCP2 KO littermates (P60)

Project description:T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling is essential for the function of T cells and negatively regulated by the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases CBL and CBLB. Here we combine mouse genetics and affinity purification coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry to monitor the dynamics of the CBL and CBLB signaling complexes that assemble in normal T cells over 600 seconds of TCR stimulation. We identify many previously known CBL and CBLB interacting partners, as well as a majority of proteins that have not yet been implicated in those signaling complexes. We exploit correlations in protein association with CBL and CBLB as a function of time of TCR stimulation for predicting the occurrence of direct physical association between them. The dataset is divided in two distinct subsets corresponding to the Cbl and to the Cblb interactomes. Each of them contains mass spectrometry results from the analysis of 10 different conditions of AP-MS purifications (based on affinity purification on Streptactin beads of One-Strep-tagged proteins) starting from CD4+ T cells which were either non stimulated or stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD4 antibodies as follows: CBL interactome: - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted Cbl_0) - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted Cbl_30) - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted Cbl_120) - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted Cbl_300) - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 600s (noted Cbl_600) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted WT_0) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted WT_30) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted WT_120) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted WT_300) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 600s (noted WT_600) For the CBL interactome, 3 biological replicates were prepared for these 10 different conditions (noted Ech1, Ech2, Ech3), yielding 30 analyzed samples. Three technical nanoLC-MS runs were acquired for each sample (noted R1, R2, R3), leading to 90 nanoLC-MS raw files. CBL interactome: - CBLB-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted Cblb_0) - CBLB-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted Cblb_30) - CBLB-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted Cblb_120) - CBLB-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted Cblb_300) - CBL-OST transgenic mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 600s (noted Cblb_600) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells non stimulated (noted WT_0) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 30s (noted WT_30) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 120s (noted WT_120) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 300s (noted WT_300) - WT mice, CD4+ T cells stimulated 600s (noted WT_600) For the CBLB interactome, 4 biological replicates were prepared for these 10 different conditions (noted S1, S2, S3, S4), yielding 40 analyzed samples. For series S1 to S3, 2 technical nanoLC-MS runs were acquired for each sample (noted R1, R2) and for serie S4, 3 technical nanoLC-MS runs were acquired for each sample (noted R1, R2, R3), leading in total to 90 nanoLC-MS raw files.
