Project description:Emerging data suggest that many immunoreceptors, all of which use a conserved ITAM-module for their signaling, can couple with members of additional classes of membrane receptors to deliver unique signal(s) to the cell. Using functional and gene expression analysis we describe the role for the tonic signaling through Fcg-chain, the major ITAM-module of the innate immune system, in modifying cytokine responses in MF. Peritoneal MF were left unstimulated or were stimulated in duplicates for 6 hrs with IFNγ. cDNA was analyzed using 8-sample Mouse Ref-8 v2.0 Illumina array. Expressed genes were defined as those with p<0.05, and their relative expression values were calculated using average of two WT unstimulated samples as calibrator.

Project description:Different cell types that make an organism use a small number of identical signaling modules to integrate external cues and elicit diverse functions. How the specificity of functional outcomes is achieved is unclear. It must lie within the context in which the external cue is perceived and integrated by the target cell. Within the innate immune system, we discovered communication between two classes of heterologous receptors designed to integrate external cues into context-specific response. Using IFNgR as an example, we describe the structural and functional collaboration between cytokine receptors and the ITAM signaling module, in this case the Fcg-chain at the plasma membrane of phagocytes. Receptor coupling allowed IFNg to modify FcgRI responses during IgG-mediated phagocytosis and to specify cell autonomous antimicrobial functions. BMMF were left unstimulated or were stimulated in duplicates for 6 hrs with IFNγ, IgG2a-opsonised SRBC or both. cDNA was analyzed using 8-sample Mouse Ref-8 v2.0 Illumina array. Expressed genes were defined as those with p<0.05, and their relative expression values were calculated using unstimulated cells as calibrator. IgG2a against SRBC was produced by hybridoma TIB111 from ATCC

Project description:Filarial nematodes are arthropod-borne nematodes that cause a variety of economically important diseases such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), lymphatic filariasis, and heartworm disease. The most widespread filarial disease of humans is lymphatic filariasis, caused by worms in the genera Wuchereria and Brugia. Lymphatic filariasis is an economic and social burden in endemic countries and affects approximately 119 million people worldwide (Michael, 1997). In humans, the worms live in and block the lymph vessels, causing improper flow of lymph, and inflammation of the lymphatic system. The symptoms are fever, swollen limbs and genitals, generalized malaise, and can progress to a debilitating condition known as elephantiasis This research focuses on the transmission of these worms to the disseminating mosquito host, and it is based on the interesting observation that mf must be at least 7 days old to successfully infect the mosquito (de Hollanda, 1982). Newborn mf that have not â??maturedâ?? cannot successfully penetrate the midgut of the mosquito, and subsequently cannot develop to the L3 stage (Fuhrman, 1987). Previous work done by another group 20 years ago suggests that the molecular makeup of the worm surface changes during this maturation process (Furman, 1983 a and b). We used microarray analysis to characterize changes in gene expression that take place during the mf maturation process. Understanding the gene expression changes that occur as the mf mature will allow us to understand the nature of the philological transition that allows mf to move from the human to the mosquito host. With this information in hand, we can eventually identify parasite molecules that could be targeted to either stop parasite reproduction or prevent transmission of the mf to the mosquito. This would stop parasite transmission in endemic areas. Brugia pahangi mature mf (30 days and older) RNA was compared to immature mf (3 days and younger). Three biological replicates were performed each with two technical replicates

Project description:We have previously shown that the microfilarial (mf) stage of Brugia malayi can inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR; a conserved serine/threonine kinase critical for immune regulation and cellular growth) in human dendritic cells (DC) and we have proposed that this mTOR inhibition is associated with the DC dysfunction seen in filarial infections. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain many proteins and nucleic acids including microRNAs (miRNAs) that might affect a variety of intracellular pathways. Thus, EVs secreted from mf may elucidate the mechanism by which the parasite is able to modulate the host immune response during infection. EVs, purified from mf of Brugia malayi and confirmed by size through nanoparticle tracking analysis, were assessed by miRNA microarrays and shown to be enriched (>2fold, p-value<0.05, FDR=0.05) for miR100, miR71, miR34, and miR7. The microarray analysis compared mf-derived EVs and mf supernatant. After confirming their presence in EVs using qPCR for these miRNA targets, web-based target predictions (using MIRPathv3, TarBAse and MicroT-CD) predicted that miR100 targeted mTOR and its downstream regulatory protein 4E-BP1 respectively. Our previous data with live parasites demonstrated that mf downregulate the phosphorylation of mTOR and its downstream effectors. Additionally, our proteomic analysis of the mf-derived EVs revealed the presence of proteins commonly found in these vesicles. We confirmed internalization of mf-derived EVs by human DCs and monocytes using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, and further demonstrated through flow cytometry, that mf-derived EVs downregulate the phosphorylation of mTOR in human monocytes (THP-1 cells) to the same degree that rapamycin (a known mTOR inhibitor) does. Our data collectively suggest that mf release EVs that interact with host cells, such as DC, to modulate host responses.

Project description:Most resident macrophages (MF) populations in adult tissues arise from MF progenitors populations that emerge during ontogeny, either from haematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or from Yolk Sac (YS) progenitors produced prior to HSC development. The YS generates two populations of MF progenitors. In the earliest one, called primitive, MF progenitors arise from monopotent/uni-lineage progenitors, while in the second one they derive from multipotent erythro-myeloid progenitors. These two populations soon mix in the blood circulation, and as they are highly similar in phenotype, the specific features and function of the two MF progenitors populations are still unclear. When investigating the function of the bHLH transcription factor Lyl-1 during the development of blood cells in mouse embryos, we observed that Lyl-1 expression marks YS primitive MF progenitors. Lyl-1 bHLH disruption leads to an increased production and a defective differentiation of primitive MF progenitors. To gain a better insight into primitive MF progenitors specificity and function, we performed a RNA-seq analysis of these progenitors sorted from the YS at embryonic day (E) 9, when the YS only contains primitive MF progenitors, and at E10, when it contains both primitive MF progenitors and those produced by erythro-myeloid progenitors. At both stages, MF progenitors were collected from the YS of either wild-type or Lyl-1-deficient embryos, to better understand the role of Lyl-1 in the development of Lyl-1-expressing resident macrophage populations.
