Project description:Using scRNA-seq and CyTOF, we identified eight populations of antigen-experienced CD45RA-CD4+ T cells in blood of healthy donors, including a population of GM-CSF-producing Th cells (ThGM) that lacked expression of signature transcription factors and cytokines of established Th lineages. In addition to GM-CSF, human and mouse ThGM cells also expressed IL-2, TNF, IL-3 and CCL20. ThGM cells maintained their phenotype through several cycles of activation, but upregulated expression of T-bet and IFN-g upon exposure to IL-12 in vitro, and in the CNS of mice with autoimmune neuroinflammation. ThGM cells were encephalitogenic; T-bet was not required for their development, but it was required for their encephalitogenicity. These findings demonstrate that ThGM cells constitute a distinct population of Th cells with lineage characteristics.

Project description:Elevated frequencies of GM-CSF-producing helper T (TH) cells are consistently found in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and GM-CSF expression is a non-redundant feature of pathogenic TH cells in preclinical models of MS. GM-CSF activates an inflammatory signature in monocytes, and their progeny are the most abundant cellular infiltrate in acute MS lesions. To model deregulated GM-CSF levels, we generated a transgenic mouse line allowing the induction of GM-CSF expression in mature, peripheral TH cells. This antigen-independent GM-CSF release induced severe neurological deficits with almost 100% penetrance, accompanied by the infiltration of inflammatory monocyte-derived myeloid cells into the brain stem and spinal cord. Other organs did not show obvious signs for clinical pathology, despite also being infiltrated by inflammatory myeloid cells. We aim to unravel differences between organs, their responses and also the potential of tissue destruction by infiltrating cells by sequencing inflammatory myeloid cells isolate from the individual organs.

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, miRNA microarrays and protein-coding mRNA microarrays.

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement is a major determinant for subsequent morbidity and mortality arising during graft versus host disease (GVHD). CD4+ T cells that produce GM-CSF have emerged as central mediators of inflammation in this tissue site as GM-CSF serves as a critical cytokine link between the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system. However, cellular heterogeneity within the CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population due to the concurrent production of other inflammatory cytokines has raised questions as to whether these cells have a common ontology or if there exists a unique CD4+ GM-CSF+ subset that differs from other defined T helper (TH) subtypes. Using single cell RNA sequencing analysis, we identified two CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell populations that arose during GVHD and were distinguishable by the presence or absence of IFN-γ co-expression. CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ- T cells which emerged preferentially in the colon had a distinct transcriptional profile, employed unique gene regulatory networks, and possessed a non-overlapping TCR repertoire when compared to CD4+ GM-CSF+ IFN-γ+ T cells as well as all other transcriptionally defined CD4+ T cell populations in the colon. Functionally, this CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cell population contributed to pathological damage in the GI tract which was critically dependent upon signaling through the IL-7 receptor but was independent of type 1 interferon signaling. Thus, these studies help to unravel heterogeneity within CD4+ GM-CSF+ T cells that arise during GVHD and define a developmentally distinct colitogenic TH GM-CSF+ subset that mediates immunopathology.

Project description:GM-CSF is involved in immune complex (IC)-mediated arthritis. However, little is known about what is the cellular source of GM-CSF and how it is regulated during IC-mediated inflammation. Using novel GM-CSF reporter mice, we show that NK cells produce GM-CSF during an IC-mediated model of inflammatory arthritis. NK cells promoted STIA in a GM-CSF-dependent manner, as deletion of NK cells and selective removal of GM-CSF production by NK cells abrogated disease. Furthermore, we show that myeloid cell activation by GM-CSF is restrained by induction of JAK/STAT checkpoint inhibitor cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein, CIS. Myeloid cells from CIS-deficient mice had exaggerated responses to GM-CSF, and these mice develop exacerbated STIA. Our data suggest that tissue NK cells may amplify joint inflammation in arthritis via GM-CSF production and thus represent a novel target in IC-mediated pathology. Endogenous CIS provides a key brake on signaling through the GM-CSF receptor and strategies that boost its function may provide an alternative anti-inflammatory approach.

Project description:Human and murine studies showed that granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) exerts beneficial effects in intestinal inflammation. To explore whether GM-CSF mediates its effects via monocytes, we analyzed effects of GM-CSF on monocytes in vitro and assessed the immunomodulatory potential of GM-CSF-activated monocytes (GMaM). We used microarray technology and functional assays to characterize GMaM in vitro and used a mouse model of colitis to study GMaM functions in vivo.

For culture arrays, BM was cultured in the presence of GM-CSF or M-CSF and adherent and non-adherent cells sorted. For monocyte cultures, sorted BM monocytes were treated with GM-CSF for 0, 24 or 48 hours.
