Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by the loss of myelin and of myelin-producing oligodendrocytes (OLs) in the central nervous system (CNS). Pro-inflammatory CD4+ Th17 cells are considered pathogenic in MS and are harmful to OLs. We investigated the mechanisms driving human CD4+ T cell-mediated OL cell death. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we assessed the transcriptomic profile of primary human OLs and Th17 cells in direct contact or separated by an insert. We showed that upon close interaction, OLs upregulate the expression of mRNA coding for chemokines and antioxidant/anti-apoptotic molecules, while Th17 cells upregulate the expression of mRNA coding for chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-17A, IFN-γ and granzyme B. We found that secretion of CCL3, CXCL10, IFN-γ, TNFα and granzyme B is induced upon direct contact in co-cultures of human Th17 cells with human OLs. In addition, we validated by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence that granzyme B levels are upregulated in Th17 compared to Th2 cells, and are even higher in Th17 cells upon direct contact with OLs or MO3.13 cells compared to Th17 cells separated from OLs by an insert.

Project description:Titanium is a common implant material. However, in some patients titanium implants fail. Macrophages are key cells involved in foreign body response. To identify macrophage response to titainum, primary human macrophages were cultured on porous titanium discs for 6 days We used microarrays to determine the global expression pattern induced by porous titanium in macrophages and identify potential genes involved in implant failure.

Project description:Oxysterol Binding Protein (OSBP) extracts cholesterol from the ER to deliver it to the TGN via the counter exchange and subsequent hydrolysis of the phosphoinositide PI(4)P. Here, we show that this pathway is essential in polarized epithelial cells where it contributes not only to the proper subcellular distribution of cholesterol, but also to the trans-Golgi sorting and trafficking of numerous plasma membrane cargo proteins with apical or basolateral localization. Reducing the expression of OSBP, blocking its activity or inhibiting a PI4Kinase that fuels OSBP with PI(4)P abolishes the epithelial phenotype. Waves of cargo enrichment in the TGN in phase with OSBP and PI(4)P dynamics suggest that OSBP promotes the formation of lipid gradients along the TGN, which help cargo sorting. During their transient passage through the trans-Golgi, polarized plasma membrane proteins get close to OSBP, but fail to be sorted when OSBP is silenced. Thus, OSBP lipid exchange activity is decisive for polarized cargo sorting and distribution in epithelial cells.

Project description:M2-polarized macrophages have been shown to adapt their migration mode to physical properties of the surrounding extracellular matrix. They migrate in the integrin-mediated adhesion and proteolytic activity-dependent mesenchymal mode in stiff matrices, and in the integrin- and protease-independent amoeboid mode in low density, porous environments. To find out what impact has the switching between the migration modes on expression of both protein-coding and non-coding genes we employed RNA sequencing of total RNA depleted of ribosomal RNA isolated from M2 macrophages migrating in three-dimensional collagen gels of high or low concentration for 48 hours.

Project description:Human stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) offer an attractive platform to study liver disease and to test drugs. However, despite their advantages over other hepatocyte culture systems, HLCs lack several in vivo characteristics including cell polarity, which is critical for proper hepatocyte biology. We report a stem cell-based differentiation protocol that uses transwell filters to generate columnar polarized HLCs with clearly defined basolateral and apical membranes separated by tight junctions. Unlike conventional HLCs, polarized HLCs secrete cargo directionally, similar to hepatocytes in vivo. This novel system provides a powerful tool to study hepatocyte biology, disease mechanisms, genetic variation, and drug metabolism in a more physiologically relevant setting.

Project description:Dry eye disease (DED) characterizes by chronic inflammation and an unstable tear film. Stem cells have shown potential for DED treatment, but the main challenge lies in improving the effectiveness of cell delivery. Here, we developed novel eye drops for DED treatment by employing porous microcarriers with mesenchymal stem cells. The microcarriers were created by electrospraying the solution of Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic Acid (RGD) peptides-modified sodium alginate with polyethylene oxide and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) into the calcium chloride solution. In vitro experiments based on a hyperosmotic corneal epithelial cell model indicated that porous microcarriers encapsulated with MSCs (RGD-Alg@MSCs) demonstrated notable enhancements in cell viability, reductions in apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and diminished expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the DED model using non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, RGD-Alg@MSCs effectively enhanced tear production, promoted corneal healing, and alleviated inflammation. Additionally, RGD-Alg@MSCs modulated the immune environment in DED by inhibiting dendritic cell (DC) activation and suppressing Th17 differentiation in vitro, effectively disrupting the inflammatory feedback loop characteristic of DED. This immune modulation strategy was further validated through in vivo experiments, confirming its therapeutic potential. Thus, the designed MSCs-encapsulated porous microcarrier system can improve stem cell delivery and DED treatment efficiency.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuroinflammatory disorder characterized by demyelination, oligodendrocyte damage/loss and neuroaxonal injury in the context of immune cell infiltration in the central nervous system. No neuroprotective therapy is available to promote the survival of oligodendrocytes and protect their myelin processes in immune-mediated demyelinating diseases. Pro-inflammatory CD4 T helper (Th)17 cells can directly interact with oligodendrocytes in multiple sclerosis and its animal model, causing injury to myelinating processes and cell death through direct contact. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the close contact and subsequent detrimental interaction of Th17 cells with oligodendrocytes remain unclear. In this study we conducted single cell RNA sequencing of human primary oligodendrocytes cultured alone, in contact or separated by an insert with primary Th17 polarized T cells and identified several cell adhesion molecules that may modulate T cell contact mediated damage of oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, we used flow cytometry and immunofluorescence studies on central nervous system tissue from multiple sclerosis subjects, its animal model and controls to characterize the expression of cell adhesion molecules by mature oligodendrocytes. We found that a significant proportion of human and murine mature oligodendrocytes express melanoma cell adhesion molecule and activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule in multiple sclerosis, EAE and controls although their regulation differ between human and mouse. We observed that exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines or to human activated T cells are associated with a marked downregulation of the expression of melanoma cell adhesion molecule but not activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule at the surface of human primary oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, we used in vitro live-imaging, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry to determine the contribution of these molecules to Th17-polarized cell adhesion and cytotoxicity towards human oligodendrocytes. Silencing and blocking activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule but not melanoma cell adhesion molecule limited prolonged interactions between oligodendrocytes and Th17-polarized cells, resulting in decreased adhesion of Th17-polarized cells to oligodendrocytes and conferred significant protection of oligodendrocytic processes.
