Immune Gene Profiling in Healthy and HBV-exposed Cord Blood Immune Cells

ABSTRACT: The newborn immune system is characterized by an impaired Th1-associated immune response. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmitted from infected mothers to newborns is thought to exploit the newborns’ immune system immaturity by inducing a state of immune tolerance that facilitates HBV persistence. Contrary to this hypothesis, we demonstrate here that HBV exposure in utero triggers a state of trained immunity, characterized by innate immune cell maturation and Th1 development, which in turn enhances the ability of cord blood immune cells to respond to bacterial infection in vitro. These training effects are associated with an alteration of the cytokine environment characterized by low IL-10 and, in most cases, high IL-12p40 and IFN-α2. Our data uncover a potentially symbiotic relationship between HBV and its natural host and highlight the plasticity of the fetal immune system following viral exposure in utero. RNA was extracted from 15 cord blood samples comprising of healthy cord blood monocytes (n=4), HBV-exposed cord blood monocytes (n=3), healthy cord blood plasmacytoid dendritic cells (n=4), and HBV-exposed cord blood plasmacytoid dendritic cells (n=4). Healthy adult peripheral blood monocytes (n=3) were included for comparison. The immune profile was analyzed using Nanostring and nCounter® GX Human Immunology Kit v1, comprising probes for a total of 511 immune genes.

NanoString miRNA profiling of peripheral blood sorted CD14+CD16- monocytes from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and healthy control subjects

Project description:We investigated the innate immune system in the SOD1 ALS model. We found that splenic Ly6CHi monocytes were activated and their progressive recruitment to the spinal cord, but not brain, correlated with neuronal loss. We found a decrease in resident microglia in the spinal cord with disease progression. Two months prior to disease onset, splenic Ly6CHi monocytes had an M1 signature which included increased CCR2. At one month prior to disease onset, microglia expressed increased CCL2 and other chemotaxis-associated molecules. Microglia derived from the spinal cord of SOD1 mice recruited Ly6C+ monocytes to the CNS. Treatment with anti-Ly6C mAb modulated the Ly6CHi monocyte cytokine profile, reduced monocyte recruitment to the spinal cord, diminished neuronal loss and extended survival. In humans with ALS, CD14+/CD16- monocytes (analogue of Ly6CHi monocytes) exhibited an ALS specific microRNA inflammatory signature similar to that observed in the SOD1 mouse providing a direct link between the animal model and the human disease. Thus, the SOD1-like profile of monocytes in ALS subjects may serve as a biomarker for disease stage or progression. Our results suggest that recruitment of inflammatory monocytes plays an important role in disease progression and that modulation of these cells is a potential therapeutic approach. This study used the NanoString nCounter hybridization system and nCounter miRNA expression assays to identify and quantitate miRNAs in blood CD14+CD16- monocytes from ALS, MS and HC subjects Total RNA was isolated from FACS sorted CD14+CD16- blood-derived monocytes from sporadic ALS (n=8), MS (n=8) and HC (n=8) subjects. RNA was profiled using the NanoString nCounter miRNA expression assay

Gene expression study reveals compromised Pattern Recognition Receptors and Interferon Signaling in fullterm Low birth Weight newborns

Project description:Low Birth Weight (LBW) newborns (with weight less than 2500g) suffer a higher frequency and severity of microbial infection than normal birth weight (NBW) newborns. Morbidity and mortality of LBW infants due to infectious diseases are known to be high and it has been associated with compromised immune functions, however, the complete understanding of the cause is lacking. We, therefore, conducted a gene expression study to identify all the defective pathways and functions in the LBW newborns using DNA microarray. RNA were isolated from the umbilical cord blood of the NBW and LBW newborns and processed for chip hybridisation. Our results suggest down-regulation of genes participating in several canonical pathways vital in the defense response against microbes and perpetuation of immune responses. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and Interferon signaling appear to be most significantly impacted pathways. The information generated from this study may help in depth understanding of the cause of higher frequency of infections in LBW and thus, in turn help devise better therapeutic interventions. Total 12 subjects were included in the study. 4 NBW newborns umblical cord blood samples served as control and 8 LBW newborns umblical cord blood samples were treated as the experimental samples for the study.

Single-cell immunophenotyping of the fetal immune response to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:During the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of pregnant women have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. The short- and long-term implications of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on fetal and childhood well-being are unknown. To characterize the fetal immune response to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and T cell receptor sequencing on cord blood mononuclear cells from infants born to mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the third trimester. We identified widespread gene expression changes in cord blood leukocytes, including upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) and of HLA genes in CD14+ monocytes; decreased activation of CD16+ monocytes; activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells; and activation and exhaustion of NK cells and T CD8+ cells in the cord blood of infants born to SARS-CoV-2+ mothers. Lastly, we observed fetal TCR repertoire clonal expansion in cord blood T cells from pregnancies complicated by maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our results suggest that even in the absence of vertical transmission, SARS-CoV-2 maternal infection in the third trimester modulates the fetal immune system.

Differences in the transcriptomic response of human adult, neonatal, and older adult monocytes to Listeria monocytogenes infection

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) kills up to 60% of infected newborns and adults >60 years of age but is asymptomic is most young adults. Monocytes are central to effective host defense against Lm. We hypothesize that age-dependent, pathway-specific differences in the ability of the monocyte to respond to Lm explain the increased risk of the newborn and older adult to severely suffer or die from Lm infection. To delineate age-dependent differences in innate responses that lead to differential infectious outcome, monocytes were isolated from cord blood (newborn) and peripheral blood (young and older adults) and infected with Lm. RNA was collected to determine age-dependent transcriptomic changes upon infection. Total RNA was isolated from purified human monocytes from 6 adult, 6 cord , 6 older adult blood donors that were infected with wild-type Listeria monocytogenes at a multiplicity of infected (MOI)=5 for 2 and 6 hr.

RNA-sequencing of neonatal monocyte responses to E. coli and S. epidermidis

Project description:Newborns, particularly those born prematurely, are extremely vulnerable to sepsis and this has been attributed to ‘immature’ innate monocyte defences. Predominant pathogens include Escherichia. coli and Staphylococcus. epidermidis but no studies have assessed global transcriptional responses of neonatal monocytes to live sepsis-causing bacteria. Here, we aimed to identify and characterise the common and pathogen-specific, neonatal monocyte transcriptional responses to E. coli and S. epidermidis to better understand early life innate immune responses. RNA-sequencing was performed on purified cord blood monocytes from very preterm (<32 weeks gestational age, GA) and term infants (37-40 weeks GA) following standardised challenge with live S. epidermidis or E. coli.
