Project description:IL-23 induces ptgs2 encoding cyclooxygenase 2 in Th17 cells and produces PGE2, which acts back on PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4 in these cells and enhances IL-23-induced expression of an IL-23 receptor subunit gene, Il23r, by activating STAT3, CREB1 and NF-κB through cAMP-protein kinase A signaling. This PGE2 signaling also induces expression of various inflammation-related genes, which possibly function in Th17 cell-mediated pathology. Combined deletion of EP2 and EP4 selectively in T cells suppressed accumulation of IL-17A+ and IL-17A+IFN-γ+ pathogenic Th17 cells and abolished skin inflammation in IL-23-induced psoriasis mouse model. Analysis of human psoriatic skin biopsies shows positive correlation between PGE2 signaling and the IL-23/Th17 pathway.

Project description:Changes of genome-wide mRNA transcription levels of human ciliary smooth muscle (hCSM) cells were determined by treating hCSM cells in culture with 200 nM of either an prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype EP2 or subtype EP4 selective agonist for 6 hours in comparison to untreated controls. This was followed by competitive hybridization of fluorescent Cy3 or Cy5 labeled cRNA probes derived from the treated versus untreated control total RNA samples onto an Agilent Human Whole Genome Expression oligonucleotide microarray. Log 2 (LN) of the intra-slide ratios (RATIO, PRE_VALUE) of treated versus untreated samples was reported as VALUE in the sample files. Keywords: prostaglandin E2 receptor agonists, subtype EP2, subtype EP4, hCSM

Project description:Wild type tumor cells, producing high levels of prostaglandin E2 (MCG101, EP2 +/+), were inoculated on EP2 knockout (EP2 -/-) and EP2 wild type (EP2 +/+) mice. Solid tumors were dissected into tumor- and tumor-stroma tissue compartments for RNA expression microarray screening, followed by metabolic pathway analyses. The study aims to evaluate simultaneous gene pathway expressions in separate tissue compartments, such as isolated tumor tissue and tumor stroma respectively.

Project description:A persistent and non-resolving inflammatory response to accumulating Aβ peptide species is a cardinal feature in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to accumulating Aβ peptide species, microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, generate a toxic inflammatory response that accelerates synaptic and neuronal injury. Many pro-inflammatory signaling pathways are linked to progression of neurodegeneration. However, endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways capable of suppressing Aβ-induced inflammation represent a relatively unexplored area. Here we hypothesized that signaling through the prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor potently suppresses microglial inflammatory responses to Aβ42 peptides. In cultured microglial cells, EP4 stimulation attenuated levels of Aβ42-induced inflammatory factors and potentiated phagocytosis of Aβ42. Microarray analysis was performed and demonstrated that EP4 stimulation broadly opposed Aβ42-driven gene expression changes in microglia, with enrichment for targets of IRF1, IRF7, and NF-κB transcription factors.

Project description:A persistent and non-resolving inflammatory response to accumulating A? peptide species is a cardinal feature in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to accumulating A? peptide species, microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, generate a toxic inflammatory response that accelerates synaptic and neuronal injury. Many pro-inflammatory signaling pathways are linked to progression of neurodegeneration. However, endogenous anti-inflammatory pathways capable of suppressing A?-induced inflammation represent a relatively unexplored area. Here we hypothesized that signaling through the prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor potently suppresses microglial inflammatory responses to A?42 peptides. In cultured microglial cells, EP4 stimulation attenuated levels of A?42-induced inflammatory factors and potentiated phagocytosis of A?42. Microarray analysis was performed and demonstrated that EP4 stimulation broadly opposed A?42-driven gene expression changes in microglia, with enrichment for targets of IRF1, IRF7, and NF-?B transcription factors. Primary microglia were isolated from the brains of postnatal day 7 C57BL/6J mouse pups using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P), MACS Separation Columns (LS), and magnetic CD11b Microbeads from Miltenyi Biotec (Auburn, CA). Microglia from three separate litters of pups were maintained as three independent biological replicates for each treatment. After being cultured for three days, microglia were treated with oligomeric A?42 (10uM) and/or the specific EP4 agonist AE1-329 (100nM) for 6 hours. These 4 treatment conditions (A? + AE1, A? alone, AE1 alone, and vehicle alone) and 3 independent biological replicates per treatment gave us 12 total samples. After 6 hours of treatment, RNA was isolated from the microglia for microarray analysis.

Project description:The discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has highlighted the clinical importance of immune evasion in cancer. However, only a fraction of cancer patients show response to ICI, raising a question on immune suppression mechanisms other than immune checkpoint. In this study, we examined the role of the lipid inflammatory mediator PGE2 in immune evasion of the ICI-insensitive Lewis Lung Carcinoma line 1 (LLC1) mouse model. Inhibition of PGE receptors, EP2 and EP4, significantly suppressed tumor growth through the modulation of host immune cells. Single cell RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that EP2/4 inhibition elicited anti-tumor immunity through the reprogramming of inflammatory myeloid cells by downregulating expression of genes in NFB signaling and actions and suppression of the mregDC-regulatory T cell axis by downregulating genes associated with regulatory T cell recruitment and activation. Taken together, our work suggests that PGE2-EP2/EP4 signaling induces proinflammatory myeloid and tolerogenic lymphoid environments in ICI-insensitive tumors, which is amenable to EP2 and EP4 inhibitors..

Project description:Microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, perform critical inflammatory and non-inflammatory functions to maintain homeostasis and normal neural function. However in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), these beneficial functions become progressively impaired, contributing to synapse and neuron loss and cognitive impairment. The inflammatory cyclooxygenase-PGE2 pathway, including the PGE2 receptor EP2, is implicated in AD development, both in human epidemiology and in transgenic models of AD. To test the transcriptional responses of EP2-deficient microglia to Aβ in vivo, we used mice in which the EP2 receptor is conditionally deleted in microglia using the CD11b-Cre transgene and floxed alleles of the EP2 gene. By injecting these mice with Aβ ICV and isolating microglia from the brains, we have been able to establish the transcriptional response of microglia to Aβ in vivo and test how EP2 deletion in microglia affects this response.

Brains were then removed from the mice and pooled, two brains of the same genotype per sample, to ensure adequate cell and RNA yield. The brains were then enzymatically dissociated for microglia isolation using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P), MACS Separation Columns (LS), and magnetic CD11b Microbeads from Miltenyi Biotec according to the manufacturer's protocol. Immediately after isolating the microglia, RNA was extracted from the cells for microarray analysis.
