ABSTRACT: To investigate the relationship between intestinal flora characteristics and Th1/Th2/Th17 in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism in the first half of pregnancy based on multi-omics
Project description:IRF4 is critical for differentiation of various CD4+ effector T cells, such as T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, and Th17 subsets, through interaction with BATF-containing AP-1 heterodimers. A major BATF heterodimeric partner, JunB, regulates Th17 differentiation, but the role of JunB in other CD4+ effector T subsets is not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that JunB is essential for accumulation of Th1 and Th2 cells, as well as Th17 cells, both in vitro and in vivo. In mice immunized with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), papain, or complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA), that induce predominantly Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells, respectively, accumulation of antigen-primed, Junb-deficient CD4+ T cells is significantly impaired. Loss of JunB decreases viability of cells activated under Th1-, Th2-, and Th17-polarizing conditions. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveal that JunB directly regulates expression of various genes that are commonly induced in priming of naïve CD4+ T cells, including a pro-apoptotic gene Bcl2l11 (encoding Bim), and genes that are specifically induced in Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells. Furthermore, JunB colocalizes with BATF and IRF4 at genomic regions for approximately half of JunB direct target genes. Taken together, JunB, in collaboration with BATF and IRF4, serves a critical function in differentiation of diverse CD4+ T cells by controlling common and lineage-specific gene expression.
Project description:Functionally distinct CD4+ helper T (Th) cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells (Treg), play a pivotal role in the host-defense against pathogen invasion and the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders. In this project, DIA-MS-based proteome analysis was performed on naïve CD4+ T, Th0, Th1, Th2, Th17 and iTreg cells using Q Exactive HF-X (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to search for proteins that differ among the cell subsets.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify differentially-expressed genes in CCR4hi/CXCR3- and CCR4lo CXCR3+ CCR6+ human Th17 cell subsets Human CD45RO+ memory T cells isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy adult donors were sorted into 4 predominant CCR7lo CD25- effector memory subsets: (1) Th1 - CCR6- CCR4lo CXCR3+; (2) Th2 - CCR6- CCR4hi CXCR3+; (3) Th17 - CCR6+ CCR4hi CXCR3-; (4) Th17.1 - CCR6+ CCR4lo CXCR3-. Sorted cells were cultured in media and activated via anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads for 36 hours. All subsets were then harvested and used for RNA extraction and microarray experiments. Th1 vs Th2; Th1 vs Th17; Th1 vs Th17.1; Th2 vs Th17; Th2 vs Th17.1; Th17 vs Th17.1
Project description:The purpose of this study is to prove whether general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia could better maintain body balance of Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 compared with general anesthesia, so as to reduce the surgical stress-related immunosuppression, and to improve the prognosis.
Project description:T helper (Th) cells control host defense to pathogens. IL 12R expression is required for Th1, IL-4RM-NM-1 for Th2, and IL-6RM-NM-1/gp130 for Th17 differentiation to allow responsiveness to IL-12, IL-4, and IL-6, respectively. IL-2 via STAT5 controls Th2 differentiation by regulating the Th2 cytokine gene cluster and Il4ra expression. Here we show that IL-2 regulates Th1 differentiation, inducing STAT5-dependent IL-12RM-NM-22 and T-bet expression, with impaired human Th1 differentiation when IL-2 was blocked. Th1 differentiation was also impaired in mouse Il2-/- T cells but restored by IL-12RM-NM-22 expression. Consistent with IL-2M-bM-^@M-^Ys inhibition of Th17 differentiation, IL-2 decreased Il6ra and Il6st/gp130 expression, and Il6st augmented Th17 differentiation even when IL-2 was present. Thus, IL-2 influences T-cell differentiation by modulating cytokine receptor expression to help specify/maintain differentiated states. Genome-wide mapping of STAT1,STAT4,STAT5A,STAT5B binding to their target genes in Th1 or human CD4+ cells was conducted
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of human T cells differentiated in 4 T Helper context ( Th0, Th1, Th2 and Th17) in the presence or not of Interferon alpha We analyzed the transcriptomic profiles of 4 human naives T cells diferentiated in Th0, Th1, Th2 and Th17 in the presence or not of Interferon Alpha. Microarray analyses were performed in 2 time points : 1/ after Day 5 of polarization (= Day5); 2/ after Day 5+ four hours of re-stimulation (=Day 5+ 4H restim) in 3 different donors.
