Project description:Currently approved inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway represent a major advance for the treatment of lung cancers, yet they are ineffective in a majority of patients due to lack of pre-existing T cell reactivity. Here we show that a TLR9 agonist delivered by inhalation is able to prime T cell responses against poorly immunogenic lung tumors and to complement the effects of PD-1 blockade. Treatment with inhaled TLR9 agonist causes profound remodeling in tumor-bearing lungs, leading to formation of tertiary lymphoid structures adjacent to the tumors, CD8+ T cell infiltration into the tumors, dendritic cell expansion and antibody production. Inhaled TLR9 agonist treatment increased the pool of functional PD-1lowT-bethigh effector CD8+ T in tumor-bearing lungs. We show by transcriptional profiling, that the effector CD8+ T cells generated by inhaled TLR9 agonist treatment are licensed by PD-1 blockade to become highly functional CTL, leading to a durable rejection of both lung tumors and tumor lesions outside the lungs. CD4+ T cells activated in response to inhaled TLR9 play a critical role in this process by controlling the proliferation, preventing exhaustion, and guiding the differentiation of optimally functional CTL. This study characterizes a strategy to apply localized TLR9 stimulation to a tumor type not accessible for direct injection, a strategy that may expand the therapeutic potential of PD-1 blockade in non-small cell lung cancer. the scope of this experiment was to profile the gene expression of effector CD8 T cells from tumor bearing lungs treated by different drug regimen.

Project description:Inhaled allergen challenge of subjects with allergic asthma allows the study of mechanisms involved in allergen-induced airway inflammation. The objective of this study was to identify changes in the plasma proteome associated with a late phase response (LPR) causing airway obstruction occurring 4-8 hours after the initial early response. Serial plasma samples from asthmatics undergoing inhaled allergen challenge were analyzed. Mass spectrometry data was analyzed using a linear regression to model the relationship between the degree of airway obstruction during the LPR and plasma proteome changes evoked by the inhaled allergen challenge. Inhaled allergen challenge induced changes in the plasma proteome including upregulation of the protease inhibitors alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and plasma serine protease inhibitor. Out of 396 quantified proteins, 150 showed a statistically significant change 23 hours post allergen challenge. Further proteomic changes were associated with the LPR, including altered levels of coagulation factors such as an increased factor XII A and a decreased von Willebrand factor. Allergic reactions to inhaled allergens in asthmatic subjects was associated with changes in a large proportion of the measured plasma proteome, whereof protease inhibitors show the largest changes, likely to influence the inflammatory response. Of several other proteins altered in relation to the LPR, many are associated with coagulation.

Project description:Endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the etiology of systemic autoimmune diseases such as SLE, where DNA- and RNA-associated autoantigens activate autoreactive B cells through TLR9- and TLR7-dependent pathways, respectively. Nevertheless, TLR9-deficient autoimmune prone mice develop more severe clinical disease, while TLR7-deficient and TLR7/9-double deficient autoimmune-prone mice develop less severe disease. To determine whether the regulatory activity of TLR9 is B cell intrinsic, we have now directly compared the functional properties of autoantigen activated WT, TLR9-deficient and TLR7-deficient B cells, in an experimental system where proliferation depends on BCR/TLR co-engagement. In vitro, TLR9-deficient cells are less dependent on survival factors for a sustained proliferative response than either WT or TLR7-deficient cells. The TLR9-deficient cells also preferentially differentiate toward the plasma cell lineage, as indicated by expression of CD138, sustained expression of IRF4, and other molecular markers of plasma cells. In vivo, autoantigen-activated TLR9-deficient cells give rise to greater numbers of autoantibody producing cells. Our results identify distinct roles for TLR7 and TLR9 in the differentiation of autoreactive B cells that explain the capacity of TLR9 to limit, and TLR7 to promote, the clinical features of SLE. AM14 WT, Tlr7-/-, Tlr9-/- and Tlr7/9-/- B cells were stimulated with PL2-3 for 0, 6, 24, and 42 hours, for a total of 16 samples.

Project description:As hippocampal neurons respond to diverse types of information a subset assembles into stable microcircuits representing a memory. Those neurons typically undergo energy-intensive molecular adaptations, which occasionally results in transient DNA damage. We found, however, discrete clusters of excitatory hippocampal CA1 neurons showing persistent dsDNA breaks, nuclear envelope ruptures, and perinuclear release of histone and dsDNA fragments for hours after learning. Following these early events, some neurons acquired an inflammatory phenotype involving activation of Toll-like receptor 9 (Tlr9) signaling and accumulation of centrosomal DNA damage repair (DDR) complexes. Neuron-specific knockdown of Tlr9 impaired memory while blunting CFC-induced changes of gene expression in specific clusters of excitatory CA1 neurons. Most notably, Tlr9 played an essential role in centrosome function, including DDR, ciliogenesis, and build-up of perineuronal nets (PNN). We demonstrate a novel cascade of learning-induced molecular events in discrete neuronal clusters undergoing dsDNA damage and Tlr9-mediated repair, resulting in their recruitment to memory circuits. With compromised Tlr9 function, this fundamental memory mechanism becomes a gateway to genomic instability and cognitive impairments, which have been implicated in accelerated senescence, psychiatric disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. Maintaining the integrity of Tlr9 inflammatory signaling thus emerges as a promising preventive strategy for neurocognitive deficits.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess if TLR9 deficiency (TLR9-/-) or TLR9 incapacity to signal through MyD88 would differentially influence the epigenetic states of ABC, in a B cell intrinsic manner. Methods : Mixed bone marrow chimeras of one-third each TLR9+/+ CD45.1/2, TLR9-/- CD45.1/1 and TLR9P915H/P915H CD45.2/2 were generated on the MRL/lpr background. From each recipient, ABC were sorted with respect to the CD45 congenic markers at [20 weeks] post chimerism. DNA was isolated using a protocol adapted from Corces et al. Samples were sequenced to obtain 20M 2x75 bp paired-end reads using an Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer (Illumina, Inc, California, USA). Results: The majority of differences in open chromatin regions were observed between TLR9-/- and TLR9P915H ABCs. This must reflect the MyD88-independent regulatory function of TLR9 (lost in TLR9-/- and present in TLR9P915H).

Project description:TLR9 agonists are being developed as immunotherapies to increase immune effector cell activity against malignancies and pathogens. However, the in vivo impacts of TLR9 agonism on human B cells are incompletely known and the impacts of such treatments on human lymph node B cells are unknown. These are major knowledge gaps given the high TLR9 expression levels in B cells and the importance of lymph nodes for B cell activity. Therefore, we assessed TLR9 agonist-mediated effects on lymph node B cells as planned secondary endpoints within our clinical trial dosing the TLR9 agonist MGN1703 (Lefitolimod) in the context of developing an HIV cure strategy (NCT02443935).

Project description:Drugs directly targeting Hepatitis C (HCV) are often rendered useless by the high mutation rate of the virus. Thus, we deduce that targeting of host factor that affect HCV replication may provide enhanced therapy fort HCV infection. Hepatocyte cell line Huh7 is known to be non-permissive for Hepatits C (HCV) replication. Through a method developed by the Rice laboratory (Blight, K.J., et al., J Virol, 2002), selection of a small subset of permissive hepatocytes is possible. The Rice laboratory generated the first permissive cell line, Huh7.5, using this method. We generated another permissive cell line, HRP1, using the same method. With microarray, we compared the expression of host mRNAs in non-permissive Huh7 to both Huh7.5 and HRP1 searching for host factors lost in the cell lines permisive for HCV replication. Non-permissive cell line Huh7 and permissive cell lines Huh7.5 and HRP1 were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
