Project description:Despite the critical role antigen-specific T cells play in containing viral infections, their aggregate frequencies in peripheral blood have not correlated with clinical protection during HIV infection. However, a subset of HIV-specific T cells, which are capable of simultaneously producing multiple effector cytokines, termed polyfunctional T cells, have correlated with delayed disease progression. HIV-specific polyfunctional T cells have been enumerated and characterized using the intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay, which allows for simultaneous multiplexed analysis of cytokine expression at the single-cell level. In addition, using an unbiased computational analysis of ICS data generated through the RV144 HIV vaccine case-control study, we identified vaccine-induced HIV envelope (Env)-specific polyfunctional CD4 T cells as a novel correlate of reduced risk of HIV infection. However, very little is known about these cells and what differentiates them from other vaccine-elicited T cells. In addition, the use of sample fixation in the ICS assay prevents those cells from being further interrogated for transcriptional differences. Thus, we developed a novel live-cell multiplexed cytokine capture assay which allows for identification, sorting and transcriptional profiling of individual antigen-specific polyfunctional T cells by single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). We applied these methods to peripheral blood samples from participants who had received the RV144 vaccine regimen as part of the HVTN 097 clinical trial. Using this approach, we discovered transcriptional signatures that specifically identify the single-cell Env-specific CD4 T-cell functional profiles which had correlated with reduced risk of HIV infection in RV144. Interestingly, this signature is particularly characterized by upregulation of Th2 cytokines, supporting the hypothesis that the vaccine-induced Env-specific CD4 T cells likely contributed to the reduced risk of infection by providing T cell help to the Env-specific antibody responses. By interrogating the gene signatures that correlated with polyfunctionality, we have identified potential mechanisms of how vaccine-elicited polyfunctional T cells may contribute to reduced risk of HIV infection.

Project description:Ag-specific T cells play a critical role in responding to viral infections. In the RV144 HIV vaccine clinical trial, a rare subset of HIV-specific polyfunctional CD4+ T cells correlated with reduced risk of HIV-1 infection. Polyfunctional T cells are a subset of Ag-specific T cells that are able to simultaneously produce multiple effector cytokines. Little is known about what differentiates polyfunctional T cells from other vaccine-elicited T cells in humans. Therefore, we developed a novel live-cell multiplexed cytokine capture assay to identify, isolate, and transcriptionally profile vaccine-specific polyfunctional CD4+ T cells. We applied these methods to samples from subjects who received the RV144 vaccine regimen, as part of the HVTN 097 clinical trial. We identified two surface receptors (CD44 and CD82) upregulated on polyfunctional T cells and a Th2-biased transcriptional signature (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) that predicted the envelope-specific polyfunctional CD4+ T cell profiles that had correlated with reduced risk of HIV infection in RV144. By linking single-cell transcriptional and functional profiles, we may be able to further define the potential contributions of polyfunctional T cells to effective vaccine-elicited immunity.

Project description:Pathogen-specific polyfunctional T cell responses have been associated with favorable clinical outcomes but it is not known whether polyfunctional T cells are distinct from monofunctional cytokine producing T cells. In this study we compared the transcriptomic profile of P. falciparum reactive polyfunctional and IFNg monofunctional CD4 T cells by microarray analysis and show that polyfunctional CD4 T cells are associated with a unique transcriptomic signature.

Project description:Angiotensin II type 1 receptors (AT1Rs) are one of the most widely studied G protein-coupled receptors. To fully appreciate the diversity in cellular signaling profiles activated by AT1R transducer-biased ligands, we utilized peroxidase-catalyzed proximity labeling to capture proteins in close proximity to AT1Rs in response to six different ligands: Angiotensin II (full agonist), S1I8 (partial agonist), TRV055 and TRV056 (G protein-biased agonists), TRV026 and TRV027 (β-arrestin biased agonists) at 90s, 10min, and 60min after stimulation. We systematically analyzed the kinetics of AT1R trafficking and determined that distinct ligands lead AT1R to different cellular compartments for downstream signaling activation and receptor degradation/recycling. Distinct proximity labelling of proteins from a number of functional classes, including GTPases, adaptor proteins, and kinases were activated by different ligands suggesting unique signaling and physiological roles of the AT1R. Ligands within the same class, i.e. either G protein-biased or -arrestin-biased, shared high similarity in their labelling profiles. Comparison between ligand classes revealed distinct signaling activation such as greater labeling by G protein biased ligands on ESCRT-0 complex proteins that act as sorting machinery for ubiquitinated proteins. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of AT1R receptor trafficking kinetics and signaling activation profiles induced by distinct classes of ligands.

Project description:Investigatation into how genes with sex-differential expression profiles are distributed among the chromosomes in Drosophila. Assayed the expression of 14,142 predicted transcripts in competitive hybridizations and found a dramatic underrepresentation of X-chromosome genes showing high relative expression in male. This is the first report of sex-biased expression of the full (predicted) genome. Findings indicate that there is significant sex-biased expression, especially in gonads. Genes showing sex-biased gene expression profiles are likely to have sex-biased functions. Keywords: other

Project description:Sex-dependent pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretory patterns determine the sex-biased expression of >1,000 genes in mouse and rat liver, affecting lipid and drug metabolism, inflammation and disease. A fundamental biological question is how robust differential expression can be achieved for hundreds of sex-biased genes simply based on the GH input signal pattern: pulsatile GH stimulation in males vs. near-continuous GH exposure in females. STAT5 is an essential transcriptional mediator of the sex-dependent effects of GH in the liver, but the mechanisms that underlie its sex-dependent actions are obscure. Here we elucidate the dynamic, sex-dependent binding of STAT5 and the GH/STAT5-regulated repressor BCL6 to mouse liver chromatin, revealing the counteractive interplay between these two regulators of liver sex-specificity. Our findings establish a close correlation between sex-dependent STAT5 binding and sex-biased target gene expression. Moreover, sex-dependent STAT5 binding correlated positively with sex-biased DNase hypersensitivity and H3-K4me1 and H3-K4me3 (activating) marks, correlated negatively with sex-biased H3-K27me3 (repressive) marks, and was associated with sex-differentially enriched motifs for HNF6/CDP factors. Importantly, BCL6 binding was preferentially associated with repression of female-biased STAT5 targets in male liver. Furthermore, BCL6 and STAT5 common targets but not BCL6 unique targets showed strong enrichment for lipid and drug metabolism. These findings provide a comprehensive, genome-wide view of the mechanisms whereby these two GH-regulated transcription factors establish and maintain sex differences affecting liver physiology and disease. The approaches used here to characterize sex-dependent STAT5 and BCL6 binding can be applied to other condition-specific regulatory factors and binding sites and their interplay with co-operative chromatin-binding factors. Mouse livers were excised from individual male and female mice killed at either a peak of STAT5 binding activity, or during the growth hormone (GH) interpulse interval, when STAT5 activity is either low (females) or essentially undetectable (males). Sonicated, cross-linked liver nuclear chromatin was then used to identify STAT5 binding sites by ChIP-Seq.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have revolutionised cancer treatment, with previously untreatable disease now amenable to potential cure. Combination regimens of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 show enhanced efficacy but are prone to off-target immune-mediated tissue injury, particularly at the barrier surfaces. To probe the impact of immune checkpoints on intestinal homeostasis, mice were challenged with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and manipulation of the intestinal microbiota. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed remodelling of mucosal lymphocytes with induction of polyfunctional lymphocyte responses characterized by increased expression of Ifng, other pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines (Il22, Il17a Ccl3, Ccl4 and Ccl9), cytotoxicity molecules (Gzmb, Gzma, Prf1, Nkg7) and the chemokine receptor Cxcr6. In comparison with mucosal lymphocytes in the steady state, polyfunctional lymphocytes from both CD4+ and CD8+ lineages upregulated costimulatory molecules and checkpoint molecules in CPI-colitis, indicating that these cells are tightly regulated.
