MicroRNA profiling of Draining Lymph node (popliteal and inguinal) from mice with delayed hypersensitivity treated with vehicle control, TCDD and FICZ

ABSTRACT: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), is a transcription factor and an environmental sensor and AhR ligands exert varying effects from suppression to exacerbation of inflammation, the reason for which is unclear. In the current study, we demonstrate for the first time that the differential effects of AhR ligands on T cell differentiation (Tregs vs Th-17 cells) is mediated by miRNA, specifically, miRNA-132. We also demonstrate that miRNA-132 targets High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1), which in turn regulates the differentiation of FoxP3+ Tregs. We demonstrate the role of miRNA-132 conclusively using transfection studies and the use of mice deficient in miRNA-132. We wish to point out that our studies are novel in that the role of HMGB1 in the regulation of Tregs has not been previously reported. To this end, we used popliteal and inguinal lymph nodes (DLNs) of mice (C57BL/6) with DTH and treated with Vehicle (corn oil, VEH) or TCDD or FICZ. In brief, total RNA including miRs from DLNs were isolated using miRNeasy kit and the protocol of the company was followed (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). Next, miR arrays were performed at Johns Hopkins University Microarray and Sequencing Core facility using platform.

Indoles (I3C and DIM)-mediated regulation of microRNAs in DTH model

Project description:Our laboratory observed that indoles (I3C and DIM) suppressed the development of delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice. Also, we observed differential regulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells in mice treated with I3C or DIM. The aim of this experiment was, therefore, to understand the role of I3C or DIM in the regulation of microRNAs (miRs) in immune cells and generation of Tregs and Th17 cells. We also used FICZ, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand to understand the role of various ligands in the regulation of Tregs and Th17 cells. To this end, we used draining (inguinal) lymph nodes (LNs) of mice (C57BL/6) with DTH and treated with Vehicle (corn oil, VEH) or I3C or DIM or FICZ. In brief, total RNA including miRs from inguinal LNs were isolated using miRNeasy kit and the protocol of the company was followed (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). Next, miR arrays were performed at Johns Hopkins University Microarray and Sequencing Core facility using platform.

Environmental factors transmitted by aryl hydrocarbon receptor influence severity of psoriatic skin inflammation [Affymetrix]

Project description:Environmental stimuli are known to contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis and that of other autoimmune diseases, but the mechanism is unknown. Here we show that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor that senses environmental stimuli, modulates pathology in psoriasis. AhR-activating ligands reduced inflammation in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients, whereas AhR antagonists upregulated inflammation. Similarly, AhR signaling via the endogenous FICZ ligand reduced the inflammatory response in the imiquimod-induced model of psoriasis and AhR deficient mice exhibited a substantial exacerbation of the disease, compared to AhR sufficient controls. Non-haematopoietic cells, in particular keratinocytes, were responsible for this hyper-inflammatory response, which involved increased reactivity to IL-1beta and upregulation of AP-1 family members of transcription factors. Thus, our data suggest a critical role for AhR in the regulation of inflammatory responses and open the possibility for novel therapeutic strategies in chronic inflammatory disorders. Total RNA obtained from skin explants taken from AhR heterozygous or knock-out mice treated pericutaneously with imiquimod for 0 and 2d.

Tryptamine Serves As a Proligand of the AhR Transcriptional Pathway, and the Activation Is Dependent of Monoamine Oxidases

Project description:In this study we show that physiological concentrations of tryptamine (TA) lead to induction of cytochrome P4501A1 transcription through an AhR-dependent mechanism. In addition, we show that activation of the AhR by TA requires a functional monoamino oxidase system, suggesting that TA acts as an AhR proligand possibly by converting to a high-affinity AhR ligand. RNA seq was performed from Hepa cells treated with FICZ or TA by SciLifelabs.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor senses bacterial pigmented virulence factors and orchestrates anti-bacterial defenses (part 1)

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a highly conserved ligand-dependent transcription factor that senses environmental toxins and endogenous ligands, thereby inducing detoxifying enzymes and modulating immune cell differentiation and responses. We hypothesized that AhR not only evolved to sense pollutants from the environment, but also insults of microbial origin. We demonstrate that bacterial pigmented virulence factors, namely the phenazines pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the naphthoquinone phthiocol from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are ligands of AhR. AhR activation leads to degradation of these virulence factors and regulated cytokine and chemokine production. The relevance of AhR to host defense is underlined by heightened susceptibility of AhR-deficient mice, both to P. aeruginosa and M. tuberculosis. Our data demonstrate that AhR senses distinct bacterial virulence factors and controls anti-bacterial responses. We provide evidence for a previously unidentified role for AhR as an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, and identify bacterial pigmented virulence factors as a new class of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Microarray experiments were performed as single-color hybridizations. Quality control and quantification of total RNA amount was assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) and a NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer (Kisker).

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Preferentially Marks and Promotes Gut Regulatory T Cells

Project description:Here, we generated mouse genetic models to ablate or activate Ahr expression specifically in Tregs. We showed that Ahr was expressed more abundantly by peripherally induced Treg (pTregs) in the gut than by Tregs in other lymphoid organs, and its expression was independent of microbiota. Ahr was important for Treg gut homing and function. Ahr inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by Tregs but was dispensable for Treg stability. Furthermore, Ahr-expressing Tregs had enhanced in vivo suppressive activity compared to Tregs lacking Ahr expression in a T cell transfer model of colitis. Our data suggest that Ahr signaling in Tregs may be important for gut immune homeostasis.
