Project description:Cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) drive T cell effector function, or dysfunction, and define a primary mechanism to target anti-tumor T cell immunity. Currently, the interactions that shape T cell function in the TME remain poorly understood. Here, we mapped the molecular programs of T and antigen-presenting cell interactions in human early non-small cell lung carcinoma lesions by physically interacting cell (PIC) sequencing. PIC-seq and imaging identified that in the TME, but not normal lung, PICs are enriched in clonally expanded CD4+PD-1+CXCL13+ T cells, expressing a unique combination of checkpoint molecules, transcription-factors, and cytokines, defining a novel T helper tumor-specific (Tht) program, conserved across cancer types. In vitro and in vivo genetic models of antigen specificity confirmed that the Tht prevalence in TME PICs is driven by tumor-antigen presentation of dendritic cells. Our study highlights CD4+ T-dendritic cell physical interaction as a key factor regulating the TME.

Project description:Planar supported lipid bilayers (PSLB) presenting T cell receptor (TCR) ligands and ICAM-1 induce budding of extracellular microvesicles enriched in functional TCR, defined here as synaptic ectosomes (SE), from helper T cells. SE bind peptide-MHC directly exporting TCR into the synaptic cleft, but incorporation of other effectors is unknown. Here, we utilized bead supported lipid bilayers (BSLB) to capture SE from single immunological synapses (IS), determined SE composition by immunofluorescence flow cytometry and enriched SE for proteomic analysis by particle sorting. We demonstrate selective enrichment of CD40L and ICOS in SE in response to addition of CD40 and ICOSL, respectively, to SLB presenting TCR ligands and ICAM-1. SE are enriched in tetraspanins, BST-2, TCR signaling and ESCRT proteins. Super-resolution microscopy demonstrated that CD40L is present in microclusters within CD81 defined SE that are spatially segregated from TCR/ICOS/BST-2. CD40L+ SE retain the capacity to induce dendritic cell maturation and cytokine production.

Project description:In lupus autoimmunity, pathogenic IgG autoantibodies that fix complement and bind FcGammaR on inflammatory cells, are produced with help from T helper (Th1 and Th17) cells specific for peptides from nucleosomes of apoptotic cells; and these Th cells also infiltrate vital organs (1-9). Macrophages (e.g. tingible body MΦ), and DCs are normally tolerant to apoptotic cell antigens (10), but they are activated to present such autoantigens after binding to IgG immune complexes (IC) containing apoptotic cell derived DNA/RNA, which then dually stimulate their TLR and FcGammaR (11-16). Hence, to generate the activating IC, IgG-switched autoantibodies have to be made first by T cell help. Moreover, B cells become efficient antigen presenting cells (APC) to Th cells pre-primed by other APC (17), or if the B cells have developed high affinity somatically mutated receptors by T cell help (18). Thus, conventional APCs participate as disease progresses, but it is unknown who initially primes autoimmune Th cells. We fractionated spleen cells of lupus prone SNF1 mice in search of such APC. To produce lupus-prone SNF1 mice, NZB and SWR mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory, ME to breed the lupus-prone SNF1 hybrids (19). Female SNF1 mice, like BWF1, have high serum levels of IgG class anti-DNA and other anti-nuclear autoantibodies by 2 mo, and spontaneously begin to develop severe lupus nephritis by 5 mo age (20). We depleted spleen cells of lupus-prone SNF1 mice of cells with mature lineage markers, including conventional APC, and then isolated pure CD117+ (c-Kit+ or K+) cells from the lineage– (Lin– or L–) cells. These Lin–c-Kit+pure cells, which had morphology of hematopoietic progenitor cells, were the main type of APC inducing nuclear autoantigen-specific T helper cell (Th17) response upon feeding them with nucleosomes. These Lin–c-Kit+pure cell isolate is called "LinminuscKitplus pure" in the Sample titles shown below. CD117 (c-Kit) is also a marker for macrophage/dendritic cell precursors (MDP), which also express CX3CR1 (21-23). Therefore, from T and B-cell depleted spleen cells, we sorted out CD117+CX3CR1–, CD117+CX3CR1+, CD117–CX3CR1+, and CD117–CX3CR1– cell subsets, and then tested their abilities to induce Th responses to nucleosomes. The CD117+CX3CR1– cells were Lin– (Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1– or L–K+Cx–; named as "LinminuscKitplusCX3CR1minus" in the sample titles below) were very similar to L–K+pure cells (LinminuscKitplus pure), which are also CX3CR1–, although isolated in a different way. Therefore, we compared gene expression profiles of nucleosome-pulsed APC that were isolated in those two ways, namely purified Lin–c-Kit+ pure (LinminuscKitplus pure) cells or the Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1– (LinminuscKitplusCX3CR1minus) cell subset, with other types of APCs, namely the Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1+ subset (named as "LinminuscKitminusCX3CR1plus" in sample titles below), or CD11c+CD11blowc-Kit– cells (Dendritic cells in the sample titles below).

Spleen cells from 3 batches of three 5 mo SNF1 female mice each time were used to obtain three independent isolations of each type of APC population. Total RNA was purified from each APC after incubation with nucleosomes (20µg/ml) for 6h. RNA expression analysis of each type of APC isolate in triplicate was performed at our Genomics Core Facility using Illumina Mouse WG-6 v2.0 Expression Beadchips, which provides coverage of around 45,281 genes and expressed sequence tags. Raw signal intensities of each probe were obtained using data analysis software (Beadstudio; Illumina) and imported to the Lumi package of Bioconductor for data analysis. Before transformation and normalization (24-26), A/P call detection was performed based on detection p value. 20,890 out of 45,281 probes with less than 0.01 were considered as valid signals. For each pairs of four comparisons: Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1– versus Lin–c-Kit+ CX3CR1+; Lin–c-Kit+pure vs. Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1+; Lin–c-Kit+CX3CR1– vs. DC; and Lin–c-Kit+pure vs. DC; differentially expressed genes were identified using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model with empirical Bayesian variance estimation (27). Thus, 1,619 genes were identified as being differentially expressed (up or down) on the basis of a statistically significant (raw P-value < 0.01 and false discovery rate adjusted P-value < 0.05), and 1.5-fold change (up or down) in expression level in at least one of the comparisons, and out of these 230 genes were significantly UP-regulated by the above criteria in all 4 pair comparisons.

Project description:The goal of this study is to compare tumor-infiltrating antigen presenting cell populations by global transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to help further delineate sub-populations of infiltrating myeloid cells in tumor. Methods: Four tumor antigen presenting cell populations were sorted from digested B78chOVA (melanoma variant) tumors in biological triplicate Results: RNA was extracted from the 4 groups (n=3 per group) and prepared for RNAseq. Sequencing yielded ~405 million reads with an average read depth of 33.7 million reads/sample. Reads were then aligned to the mouse genome (UCSC mm10) and those that mapped uniquely to known mRNAs were used to assess differential expression.

Project description:Dr. van Kooyk's laboratory is exploring the function of antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells (DC), that regulate viral-antigen recognition, DC trafficking and T cell binding--all processes that initiate immunity or tolerance. Essential in this is the recognition of ligands by C-type lectins and the functional consequences of differential terminal glycosylation that may regulate DC function. In this study, the gene expression profile of glycosylation-related genes is examined in relation to the maturation of human antigen-presenting cells. Two pooled RNA samples, one each from immature and mature human monocyte-derived dendritic cells, were prepared and sent to Microarray Core (E). The RNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 microarrays.

Project description:P25 is the major T cell epitope for Ag85B and enables them to induce P25-specific CD4+ Th1 cells. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) stimulated with P25 and P25-specific CD4+ T cells. Splenic APCs from WT mice were cultured with P25 or medium in the presence of P25 TCR CD4+ T cells. After overnight culture, these APCs were enriched and total RNA was prepared using RNeasy (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Mixed total RNA from three independent experiments was used for microarray analysis.
