Unexpected Role for the B cell-specific Src Family Kinase Blk in the Development of IL-17-Producing gamma/delta T Cells

ABSTRACT: The Ag receptors on alpha/beta and gamma/delta T cells differ not only in the nature of the ligands that they recognize but also in their signaling potential. We hypothesized that the differences in alpha/beta - and gamma/delta TCR signal transduction were due to differences in the intracellular signaling pathways coupled to these two TCRs. To investigate this, we employed transcriptional profiling to identify genes encoding signaling molecules that are differentially expressed in mature alpha/beta and gamma/delta T cell populations. Unexpectedly, we found that B lymphoid kinase (Blk), a Src family kinase expressed primarily in B cells, is expressed in gamma/delta T cells but not in alpha/beta T cells. Analysis of Blk-deficient mice revealed that Blk is required for the development of IL-17-producing gamma/delta T cells. Furthermore, Blk is expressed in lymphoid precursors and, in this capacity, plays a role in regulating thymus cellularity during ontogeny. Naive alpha/beta and gamma/delta T cells isolated from mouse lymph nodes and purified by negative selection were compared using MOE430 2.0 GeneChip.

Identification of Ligands for the human gamma-delta TCR

Project description:T cells bearing gamma delta T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) function in lymphoid stress surveillance. However, the contribution of gamma delta TCRs to such responses is unclear. Here we found that the TCR of a human V gamma4Vdelta5 clone directly bound endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), which allowed gamma delta T cells to recognize both endothelial cells targeted by cytomegalovirus and epithelial tumors. EPCR is a major histocompatibility complex–like molecule that binds lipids analogously to the antigen-presenting molecule CD1d. However, the V gamma4Vdelta5 TCR bound EPCR independently of lipids, in an antibody-like way. Moreover, the recognition of target cells by gamma delta T cells required a multimolecular stress signature composed of EPCR and costimulatory ligand(s). Our results demonstrate how a gamma delta TCR mediates recognition of broadly stressed human cells by engaging a stress-regulated self antigen. 2E9 is an antibody that blocks gd-TCR recognition of human cells that are the targets of the clone LES. 2E9 also stains cells that are targeted by LES. Therefore, to identify the TCR ligand expressed by 2E9-positive cells, Gene Expression was compared in two cell lines that stain with 2E9 (K562 and U937) versus two cell lines that do not (Hutu80 and Huh7).

Single cell transcriptomics defines human islet cell signatures and reveals cell-type-specific expression changes in type 2 diabetes [single cell]

Project description:Blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by the coordinated action of at least five cell types constituting pancreatic islets. Changes in the proportion and/or function of these cells are associated with genetic and molecular pathophysiology of monogenic, type 1, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Cellular heterogeneity impedes precise understanding of the molecular components of each islet cell type that govern islet dysfunction, particularly the less abundant delta and gamma/pancreatic polypeptide (PP) cells. Here, we report single cell transcriptomes for 617 islet cells after profiling ~1000 cells from non-diabetic (ND) and T2D human organ donors. Analyses of non-diabetic single cell transcriptomes identified distinct alpha, beta, delta, and PP/gamma cell-type signatures. Genes linked to rare and common forms of islet dysfunction and diabetes were expressed in the delta and PP/gamma cell types. Moreover, this study revealed that delta cells specifically express receptors that receive and coordinate systemic cues from the leptin, ghrelin, and dopamine signaling pathways implicating them as integrators of central and peripheral metabolic signals into the pancreatic islet. Finally, single cell transcriptome profiling revealed genes differentially regulated between T2D and ND alpha, beta, and delta cells that were undetectable in paired whole islet analyses. This study thus identifies fundamental cell type-specific features of pancreatic islet (dys)function and provides a critical resource for comprehensive understanding of islet biology and diabetes pathogenesis.

Pancreatic Ppy-expressing gamma-cells display mixed phenotypic traits and adaptive plasticity to engage insulin production

Project description:The cellular identity of pancreatic polypeptide (Ppy)-expressing γ-cells, the rarest pancreatic islet cell-type, remains elusive. Within islets, glucagon and somatostatin, released respectively from α- and δ-cells, modulate the secretion of insulin by β-cells. Dysregulation of insulin production raises blood glucose levels, leading to diabetes onset. Here, we present the genetic signature of human and mouse γ-cells. Using newly developed tools, we identified a set of genes and pathways defining their functional identity. We found that the γ-cell population is heterogeneous, with subsets of cells producing another hormone in addition to Ppy. These bihormonal cells share identity markers typical of the other islet cell-types. In mice, Ppy gene inactivation or conditional γ-cell ablation did not alter glycemia nor body weight. Interestingly, upon β-cell injury induction, γ-cells exhibited gene expression changes and some of them engaged insulin production, like α- and δ-cells. In conclusion, we provide a comprehensive characterization of γ-cells and highlight their plasticity and therapeutic potential.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse islets exposed to proinflammatory cytokines [18hrs]

Project description:Exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is believed to contribute to pancreatic β-cells during diabetes development. While some cytokine-mediated changes in islet gene expression are known, the heterogeneity of the response is not well-understood. Following 18 hour treatment with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) alone or together, mouse islets were subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA (Nos2), antiviral genes, and immune-associated genes were induced in a subset of β-cells in response to both cytokines, while IL-1β alone activated only antiviral genes. Subsets of α- and δ-cells expressed Nos2 and exhibited similar gene expression changes as β-cells, including induction of antiviral genes and repression of identity genes. Finally, cytokine-responsiveness was inversely correlated with expression of genes encoding heat shock proteins. Our findings show that all endocrine cell types respond to cytokines, IL-1β induces the expression of protective genes in β-cells, and cellular stress gene expression is associated with an inhibition in cytokine signaling.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse islets exposed to proinflammatory cytokines

Project description:Exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is believed to contribute to pancreatic β-cells during diabetes development. While some cytokine-mediated changes in islet gene expression are known, the heterogeneity of the response is not well-understood. Following 6 hour treatment with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) alone or together, mouse islets were subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA (Nos2), antiviral genes, and immune-associated genes were induced in a subset of β-cells in response to both cytokines, while IL-1β alone activated only antiviral genes. Subsets of α- and δ-cells expressed Nos2 and exhibited similar gene expression changes as β-cells, including induction of antiviral genes and repression of identity genes. Finally, cytokine-responsiveness was inversely correlated with expression of genes encoding heat shock proteins.
