Transcription profile of B cells isolated from peripheral lymph nodes of wild-type vs CCR7-/- mice

ABSTRACT: We investigated the transcriptional profile of B cells isolated from peripheral lymph nodes of CCR7-/-C57BL/6 and C57BL/6 mice respectively. B cells were sorted as follows: CD19+, CD3-, CD11c-, CD11b-, NK1.1-, GR-1-. Very few genes were differentially regulated in CCR7-/- B cells, however the expression of a number of genes associated with B-cell activation was increased in CCR7-/- B cells compared to WT B cells. Our data suggest a role of CCR7 signaling in B-cell activation processes. 12 purified RNA samples (6 samples of each genotype), originated from 12 individually facs-sorted cell samples, were used for the microarray study. 3 RNA samples per genotype were pooled, giving rise to 2 wildtype- and 2 Ccr7 knock-out pools. In each of the 2 dual-color microarray hybridizations, samples from 1 wildtype and 1 Ccr7 knock-out pool were cohybridized. Microarray hybridizations 1 and 2 were performed in a dye-swap approach.

The chemokine receptor CCR7 has a central role in regulating homing and positioning of T cells and DCs to lymph nodes (LNs) and participates in T-cell development and activation. In this study, we addressed the role of CCR7 signaling in T(H) 2 polarization and B-cell activation. We provide evidence that the lack of CCR7 drives the capacity of naïve CD4(+) T cells to polarize toward T(H) 2 cells. This propensity contributes to a lymph node environment in CCR7-deficent mice characterized by incre ...[more]

Project description:Nerve growth factor (NGF) pays a role in neuronal differentiation and may also play a role in hematopoietic differentiation as shown by synergistic action for the colony formation of CD34 positive hematopoietic progenitor cells treated with M-CSF or SCF. However, the exact role of NGF in hematopoietic system is unclear. It is also not clear whether NGF mediated signals in hematopoietic cells are identical to those in neuronal cells. To study the signal transduction pathways induced by NGF treatment in hematopoietic cells, we utilized the mastocytoma cell line HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) which expresses the NGF receptor, TrkA, as well as the constitutively activated SCF receptor, V560G c-Kit, which can be inhibited by treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate. NGF rescues HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) from imatinib induced cell death and promotes proliferation. To examine the NGF mediated proliferation and survival in these cells, we compared the NGF mediated upregulated genes (30 and 120 min after stimulation) to the downregulated genes by imatinib treatment (downregulation of c-Kit activity for 4 h) by transcriptome analysis. The following conclusions can be drawn from the microarray data: Firstly, gene expression profiling reaveals 50% overlap of genes induced by NGF-TrkA with genes expressed downstream of V560G c-Kit. Secondly, NGF treatment does not enhance expression of genes involved in immune related functions that were down modulated by imatinib. Thirdly, more than 55% of common upregulated genes are involved in cell proliferation and survival. Forthly, we found KLF2 and SMAD7 as the NGF mediated novel down stream genes in hematopoietic cells that may play a role in NGF mediated survival signal in HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) cells. Keywords: Transcriptome analysis - comparison of TrkA and V560G c-Kit downstream genes in HMC-1 (V560G c-Kit) cells In total, 4 samples were analyzed, one of which served as a common reference (HMC1 17h SerumStarv 4h Imatinib). This sample was labeled with Cy3. All additional samples were labeled with Cy5 and were cohybridized against the common reference. The first hybridization (M2370) represents a self-self-hybridization using the common reference.
