Project description:Comparison between gene expression profiles of splenic stroma from wild type and lymphotoxin beta receptor knockout mice. The goal was to identify a set of genes which expression in splenic stroma is under lymphotoxin control and which can potentially be important for proper stroma development and function in secondary lymphoid organs.

Project description:Lymphotoxin-mediated activation of the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) has been implicated in several physiological and pathological processes, including lymphoid organ development, T-cell maturation, and solid and hematopoietic malignancies. Its role in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or other T-cell malignancies has remained however to be investigated. Here we show that the genes encoding lymphotoxin (LT)-α and LTβ were expressed in T-ALL patient samples, more abundantly in the TAL/LMO molecular subtype, and in the TEL-JAK2 mouse model of cortical/mature T-ALL. Surface LTα1β2 protein was detected in primary mouse T-ALL cells, but only upon phorbol ester stimulation or absence of microenvironmental LTβR interaction. Indeed, in contrast to leukemic cells collected from transplanted Ltbr–/– mice or from co-cultures with Ltbr–/– mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), those collected from Ltbr+/+ mice or from Ltbr+/+ MEF co-cultures presented no surface LT expression. Supporting the notion that LT signaling plays a role in T-ALL, inactivation of the Ltbr gene in mice resulted in a statistically significant delay in TEL-JAK2-induced leukemia onset. Expression of the Lta and Ltb genes was found to be increased at the early asymtptomatic stages of TEL-JAK2 T-ALL, when only low proportions of malignant thymocytes are present in normal sized thymus. Interestingly, young asymptomatic TEL-JAK2;Ltbr–/– mice presented significantly less leukemic thymocytes than TEL-JAK2;Ltbr+/+ mice. Together, these data indicate that early lymphotoxin expression by T-ALL cells activates LTβR signaling in thymic stromal cells, thus promoting leukemogenesis.

Project description:Affymetrix Microarrays were used to analyse gene expression in aortas and circulating CD115+ cells of ApoE- and ApoE/Lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTbR)-double-deficent mice fed a Western diet from 8 to 12 weeks of age in order to identify regulated genes and pathways leading to reduced atherosclerosis in ApoE-/-/LTbR-/- mice compared to ApoE-/- littermate controls.

Project description:Systemic inflammation halts lymphopoiesis and prioritizes myeloid cell production. How blood cell production switches from homeostasis to emergency myelopoiesis is incompletely understood. Here we show that Lymphotoxin-b receptor (LTbR) signaling in combination with TNF and IL1 receptor signaling in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) downregulates Il7 expression to shutdown lymphopoiesis during systemic inflammation. LTbR signaling in MSCs also promoted CCL2 production to enable inflammatory monocyte egress from the bone marrow. Furthermore, pharmacological or genetic blocking of Il7 downregulation in MSCs impaired myeloid cell production and egress, which reduced survival against systemic bacterial and viral infections. Interestingly, lymphotoxin a1b2 delivered by B-lineage cells, and specifically by mature B cells, contributed to promote Il7 downregulation and reduce MSC lymphopoietic activity. Our studies revealed an unexpected role for LTbR signaling in MSCs and identified mature B cells as an important regulator of emergency myelopoiesis.

Project description:The presence of high endothelial venules (HEV) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in solid tumors is correlated with favorable prognosis in many cancer types and has been associated with better treatment responses to immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying intratumoral HEV and TLS formation and their contribution to anti-tumor responses remain unclear. Lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTBR) signaling is a critical regulator of lymph node organogenesis and when combined with antiangiogenic and ICB treatment can augment tumor-associated HEV formation. Here we demonstrate that LTBR signaling modulates the tumor microenvironment via multiple mechanisms to promote anti-tumor T cell responses. Systemic activation of the LTBR pathway via agonistic antibody treatment induced tumor-specific HEV formation, upregulated the expression of TLS-related chemokines, and enhanced dendritic cell (DC) and T cell infiltration and activation in syngeneic tumor models. In vitro studies confirmed direct effects of LTBR agonism on DC activation and maturation and associated DC- mediated T cell activation. Single agent LTBR agonist treatment inhibited syngeneic tumor growth in a CD8+ T cell- and HEV-dependent manner; and the LTBR agonist enhanced anti-tumor effects of anti-PD-1 and CAR T cell therapies, respectively. An in vivo tumor screen for TLS-inducing cytokines revealed that the combination of LTBR agonism and lymphotoxin alpha (LT⍺) expression promoted robust intratumoral TLS induction and enhanced tumor responses to anti-CTLA-4 treatment. Collectively, this study highlights crucial functions of LTBR signaling in modulating the tumor microenvironment and inform future HEV/TLS- based strategies for cancer treatments.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression profiles in metastatic melanoma to validate prognostic signatures. Total RNA was extracted from fresh-frozen melanoma tumors and genome-wide expression profiling was performed using Illlumina Human HT-12V4.0 BeadChip arrays by standard methods. After removal of replicate samples there were 214 unique melanoma samples left.

Indeed, in contrast to leukemic cells collected from transplanted Ltbrâ/â mice or from co-cultures with Ltbrâ/â mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), those collected from Ltbr+/+ mice or from Ltbr+/+ MEF co-cultures presented no surface LT expression.

Together, these data indicate that early lymphotoxin expression by T-ALL cells activates LTβR signaling in thymic stromal cells, thus promoting leukemogenesis. Primary T-ALL samples were obtained at diagnosis from bone marrow and/or peripheral blood with high leukemia involvement (>85%), and enriched by density centrifugation over Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare). Microarray analysis were performed on samples from patients with newly diagnosed T-ALL accrued from 2000 to 2013 at Centro Infantil Boldrini, Campinas, Brazil. Thymic samples, obtained from children undergoing cardiac surgery, were gently minced in culture medium and subsequently subjected to density centrifugation.

Project description:Gaining understanding of common complex diseases and their treatments are the main drivers for life sciences. As we show here, comprehensive protein set analyses offer new opportunities to decipher functional molecular networks of diseases and assess the efficacy and side-effects of treatments in vivo. Using mass spectrometry, we quantitatively detected several thousands of proteins and observed significant changes in protein pathways that were (dys-) regulated in diet-induced obesity mice. Analysis of the expression and post-translational modifications of proteins in various peripheral metabolic target tissues including adipose, heart, and liver tissue generated functional insights in the regulation of cell and tissue homeostasis during high-fat diet feeding and medication with two antidiabetic compounds. Protein set analyses singled out pathways for functional characterization, and indicated, for example, early-on potential cardiovascular complication of the diabetes drug rosiglitazone. In vivo protein set detection can provide new avenues for monitoring complex disease processes, and for evaluating preclinical drug candidates. Male C57BL/6 mice (age 6 wks) were fed for 12 weeks with high-fat diet (HFD) and than distributed into 3 groups. Mice were than fed over 3 weeks with HFD without compound ('HFD'), HFD with 4 mg/kg/d rosiglitazone ('HFD_RSG') or with 100 mg/kg/d amorfrutin 1 ('HFD_A1'). In parallel [GSE38854; Liver B], mice were fed for 15 weeks with low-fat diet (LFD) as healthy control subjects. In addition, a group of mice was treated with 37 mg/kg/d amorfrutin 1 during the whole 15 weeks of HFD feeding ('HFD+A1prev'). Finally, LIVER tissue was harvested and RNA extracted. --> 3-4 biological replicates (2 mice per each replicate, RNA of 2 mice always pooled). liver_HFD_*A and _*B samples are from the same biological source material, but the cRNA preparation and hybridization to Illumina arrays were performed at different days (i.e. technical repeats).
