Analysis of early dendritic cell, natural killer cell and B lymphocyte responses to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection by genome-wide expression profiling

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) are a complex group of cells which play a critical role in vertebrate immunity. They are subdivided into conventional DC (cDC) subsets (CD11b and CD8alpha in mouse) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). Natural killer cells are innate lymphocytes involved in the recognition and killing of abnormal self cells, including virally infected cells or tumor cells. DCs and NK cells are activated very early upon viral infections and regulate one another. However, the global responses of DC and NK cells early after viral infection in vivo and their molecular regulation are not entirely characterized. The goal of this experiment was to use global gene expression profiling to assess the global genetic reprogramming of DC and NK cells during a viral infection in vivo, as compared to B lymphocytes, and to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms This study includes data from cell sort purified DCs, NK cells and B cells isolated from the spleen of MCMV-infected mice. 2 independent replicates were made for each cell type except B cells. The control dataset for cells isolated from uninfected control animals has been previously published and is available in the GEO database as GSE9810. The complete dataset representing: (1) the infected Samples and (2) the uninfected control Samples from Series GSE9810 (re-processed using RMA), is linked below as a supplementary file. Comparison of the gene expression programs of wild-type spleen leukocyte subsets, including plasmacytoid DCs, CD8alpha conventional DCs, CD11b conventional DCs and NK cells, isolated from MCMV-infected versus control animals.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are a complex group of cells which play a critical role in vertebrate immunity. Spleen or lymph node resident DCs are subdivided into conventional DC (cDC) subsets (CD11b and CD8alpha in mouse; BDCA1 and BDCA3 in man) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). It is currently unclear if these various DC populations belong to a unique hematopoietic lineage and if the subsets identified in the mouse and human systems are evolutionary homologs. To bring novel insights into these questions, we sought conserved genetic signatures for these DCs through the analysis of a compendium of genome-wide expression profiles of mouse or human leukocytes. We show through clustering analysis that all spleen resident DC subsets form a distinct branch within the leukocyte family tree, and reveal a transcriptomal signature evolutionary conserved in all these DC subsets. Moreover we identify a large gene expression program shared between mouse and human plasmacytoid DCs, and smaller conserved profiles shared between mouse and human cDC subsets. Finally, we use compendium analysis to re-evaluate the classification of interferon-producing killer DCs (IKDCs) and lin-CD16+HLA-DR+ cells, which have both been claimed to be DCs, and show that these cells are more closely linked to NK or myeloid cells, respectively. Our study thus provides a unique resource for future investigation of the evolutionarily conserved molecular pathways governing the ontogeny and functions of leukocyte subsets, especially DCs. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes data from cell sort purified dendritic cells, B cells, NK cells, and CD8 T cells. 2 or 3 independent replicates were made for each cell type. The genearray was performed in an attempt to investigate the relationships between DCs subsets and with other leukocytes, in mouse, in human, and between these 2 species. To this end, public data for mouse CD4 T cells and macrophages, as well as public data for human leukocyte subsets were also used in the analysis. The results have led to the identification of specific transcriptional programs conserved between human and mouse dendritic cell subsets.
