Project description:Gene expression profiling of human CD8+ CD161hi and CD161lo central and effector memory and naïve T cell subsets. The mechanisms by which IL-17 secreting cells are regulated have not been completely elucidated. We previously identified a population of rhodamine-effluxing memory CD8+ T cells with high expression of CD161 that contributes to immune reconstitution after lymphopenia-inducing chemotherapy. Here we find that CD161hi CD8+ T cells share transcriptional programming with Th17 cells, but most do not secrete IL-17 or proliferate to stimulation through the T cell receptor (TCR). Transcriptional analysis of subsets identified by expression of CD161 and CD62L revealed a novel mechanism of TCR signaling pathway regulation in CD161hi CD8+ T cells that is distinct from that described in anergic or tolerant cells and renders them functionally dependent on costimulation through innate cytokine receptors or CD28. CD161hi CD8+ T cells, induced to proliferate by a TCR signal delivered with costimulation, demonstrated plasticity that was dependent on the nature of costimulation and resulted in expansion of IL-17 secreting cells that could not proliferate to a TCR signal alone or differentiation to Tc1-like cells that proliferated to TCR stimulation in the absence of costimulation. The data show an association between TCR signaling pathway downregulation and type 17 programming in CD161hi CD8+ T cells, whose dysregulation could mediate IL-17 dependent inflammatory diseases. T cell subsets were sort-purified from healthy adults and analyzed by gene expression profiling. Isolation: Effluxing CD161hi and non-effluxing CD161lo CD8+ TCM and TEM subsets were purified using magnetic bead separation and cell sorting to achieve >98% purity, as previously described (35). CD8+ T cells were positively selected using CD8 Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), loaded with Rh123 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and cultured for 30 min to allow Rh123 efflux, then labeled with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to CD4, CD16, TCRγδ, Vα24, CD8, CD95, CD62L and CD161. CD161hi and CD161lo TCM and TEM subsets were sort-purified on a FACS ARIA equipped with 405 nm, 488 nm and 633 nm lasers (BD Biosciences). CD161hi TCM and TEM subsets were identified as CD62L+/Rh123lo/CD161hi and CD62L-/Rh123lo/CD161hi events, respectively, in the CD4-/CD16-/TcRγδ-/Vα24-/CD8+/CD95+ population. CD161lo TCM and TEM subsets were identified as CD62L+/Rh123hi/CD161int/neg and CD62L-/Rh123hi/CD161int/neg events, respectively, in the CD4-/CD16-/TcRγδ-/Vα24-/CD8+/CD95+ population. Gene expression profiling: RNA was extracted from sort-purified subsets from 6 healthy individuals using the RNeasy Plus Minikit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and biotinylated, followed by generation of amplified cRNA for array hybridization using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Amplified biotinylated cRNA was then purified before quality control to ensure high quality cRNA was available for hybridization. Labeled cRNA was hybridized to Illumina WG-6 Expression BeadChips v3.0 (Illumina, San Diego, CA), which quantitate expression of 48,802 transcripts derived from the NCBI RefSeq (Build 36.2, Release 22) and UniGene databases (Build 199). BeadChips were washed before reading and image extraction, and then scanned on an Illumina BeadArray Reader. The resulting TIFF images were processed using GenomeStudio Gene Expression Module (GEM) software. Data quality was assessed using the Control Summary feature in GenomeStudio GEM. For a given analysis set, a GenomeStudio Probe-level Final Report was generated by combining the Sample Probe Profile and Control Probe Profile tables. The Final Report comprising the full dataset was initially processed using the Bioconductor package lumi by employing a background correction estimate and quantile normalization. A small adjustment (i.e. 20 counts) was made to the entire dataset to make all intensity signals non-negative and these values were log2-transformed. The dataset was initially filtered using the ‘shorth’ function of the Bioconductor package genefilter, resulting in retention of 31,084 of 48,802 original probes. Each pairwise comparison was further filtered by discarding probes whose signal intensity was less than a defined signal “noise floor” across all arrays in the data subset. This was achieved by calculating the median of the ‘negative control’ probe signals for each array, averaging these values, and setting the noise floor as 3 times this average. Differential gene expression was then determined using the Bioconductor package limma, and a false discovery rate (FDR) method applied to correct for multiple testing. Significant differential gene expression was defined by a log2 ratio > 0.585 (± 1.5-fold) and FDR (adjusted p value) < 0.05.

Project description:In mice, contrary to conventional T cells, MAIT cells acquire a memory phenotype in the thymus in relation with Zbtb16 expression (Savage et al., 2008 ; Koay et al., 2016). To define phenotypic transcriptional signatures of MAIT subsets in the thymus, we analyzed by microarray the transcriptome of MAIT1 (MR1tet+RORgt+) and MAIT17 (MR1tet+RORgt+) as compared to conventional mature (TCRb+CD24lo) CD4+ and CD8+ single positive cells.

Project description:To characterize the largely unknown functions of oxidised methylcytosines (oxi-mC; 5hmC/5fC/5caC) in DNA, several sequencing protocols have been recently developed. Quantitative analysis is complicated because DNA methylation modifications need to be deconvoluted from the data which is affected by several experimental parameters, including e.g. imperfect bisulphite conversion, oxidation efficiencies, various chemical labeling and protection steps, and sequencing errors. Here, we present a hierarchical generative model, Lux, for integrative analysis of any combination of BS-seq and âoxi-mCâ-seq (BS-seq/oxBS-seq/TAB-seq/fCAB-seq/CAB-seq/redBS-seq/MAB-seq) data. We show that Lux improves quantification and comparison of methylation levels over existing methods and that Lux can easily process any oxi-mC-seq data sets to quantify all cytosine modifications simultaneously together with their experimental parameters. Application of Lux to targeted data from Tet2 knockdown ESCs and T cells during development demonstrates DNA modification quantification at unprecedented detail, quantifies active demethylation pathway and reveals 5hmC localization in putative regulatory regions. Examine the distribution of C, 5mC, and 5hmC in DP, CD4 SP, and naïve CD4 T cells within selected loci. Half of the samples are measured using the traditional bisulphite-seq protocol but the other half is measured using the oxidative bisulphite-seq protocol (oxBS-seq).

Project description:In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of DN thymocyte development, it may be also of use to clarify how these developmental processes are regulated in terms of their entire gene expression, to which cell differentiation is ultimately ascribed. In the current study, we approached this issue by investigating gene expression profiles in discrete subsets of DN thymocytes under development, in which DN2, DN3, and DN4 thymocytes were sorted and subjected to expression profiling analysis with high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: The DN2, DN3, and DN4 populations were FACS-sorted from DN thymocytes harvested from four C57BL/6 mice and analyzed by Affymetrix® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array® for gene expression. Four independent experiments were performed using 16 mice.

Project description:DNA methylation has been shown to play a major role in determining cellular phenotype by regulating gene expression. Moreover, dysregulation of differentially methylated genes has been implicated in disease pathogenesis of various conditions including cancer development as well as autoimmune diseases such as systemic Lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Evidence is rapidly accumulating for a role of DNA methylation in regulating immune responses in health and disease. However, the exact mechanisms remain unknown. The overall aim of the project is to investigate the role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating immunity and their impact on autoimmune disease pathogenesis.The aim of this pilot study is to perform whole genome methylation analysis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and cell subsets (CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, CD16 and whole PBMCs) obtained from 6 healthy volunteers. Whole genome methylation analysis will be performed using two methodological approaches, the Infinium Methylation Bead Array K450 (Illumina) and MeDIP-seq. mRNA expression arrays will also be performed in order to correlate DNA methylation with gene expression as well as genotyping on the Illumina OmniExpress chip

Project description:DNA methylation has an impact on regulation of gene expression, however the relation between the two is complex. By performing an integrative analysis of the methylome and transcriptome of the four main circulating immune cell-subsets from healthy females, namely B cells, monocytes, CD4 and CD8 T cells, the relation between the two was characterized. In addition, in light of the known sex bias in the prevalence of several immune-mediated diseases, the female datasets were compared with similar public available male datasets. Immune subset-specific differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were found to be highly similar between males and females; however numerous sex-specific DMRs shared by the four leukocytes subsets were identified, most located on autosomal chromosomes. This provides a list of highly interesting candidate genes to be studied in diseases with sexual dimorphism like autoimmunity. Immune cell-specific DMRs were mainly located in the gene body and intergenic region, distant from CpG islands but overlapping with enhancer elements, thus indicating the importance of distal regulatory elements in leukocyte subsets. In contrast; sex-specific DMRs were over-represented in CpG islands, suggesting some difference in regulation between sex and immune-cell specificity. Both positive and negative correlations between cell-specific expression and methylation were observed, with negative correlation being more frequent. Our acquired immune cell- and sex- specific methylome and transcriptome profiles provide novel insight on their complex regulatory interactions, and may particularly contribute to research of immune-mediated diseases. RNA purified from isolated 5 cell subsets (monocyte, B cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells and PBMCs) obtained from 6 healthy female donors
