Cell-type-specific regulation of IL-1-driven inflammation in fungal infection

ABSTRACT: Inflammation is a very powerful innate immune response to tissue injury; however, it needs to be tightly regulated to prevent protracted and potentially damaging inflammation. In this project we study the impact of a negative regulator of IL-1 signaling that can be produced by different immune cell subsets. In particular, we intend to identify the contribution of different immune cell subsets, such as neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells to the regulation of the anti-fungal immune response. Our prior studies revealed that while macrophage-specific conditional KO mice are strongly protected from the fungal infection, the CD11c-specific conditional KO only shows transient protection. In this RNAseq experiment we aim to identify differentially regulated gene sets and pathways responsible for these effects. In addition, we intend to compare the results of these analyses to a data set generated from a larger cohort of human patiens with disseminated fungal infection.

Single cell RNAseq analysis of fibroblastic reticular cells from murine brachial lymph nodes during inflamed and resting states

Project description:The lymph node is home to resident macrophage populations that are essential for healthy immune function and homeostasis. They are involved in multiple processes including the initiation of the local response to pathogens, halting viral and bacterial spread, and clearance of apoptotic cells, but the macrophage niche and factors that create it are largely undefined. Here we analyse fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) as an essential component of the lymph node macrophage niche using single-cell RNA-sequencing. Our analysis revealed that most reticular cell subsets within lymph nodes expressed master macrophage regulator CSF1. We further show that signalling through CSF1R was sufficient to support macrophage development, while in the presence of LPS, FRCs underwent a mechanistic switch and maintained support through CSF1R-independent mechanisms. Our data reveal a critically important role for FRCs in the creation of the parenchymal macrophage niche within LNs.

DICER controls macrophage polarization and tumor response to immunotherapy

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have immunosuppressive capacity in mouse models of cancer. Here we show that the genetic deletion of the microRNA (miRNA)-processing enzyme DICER in TAMs broadly programs them to a CD11c+MRC1â/low M1-like immunostimulatory phenotype characterized by activated interferon-Î³ (IFN-Î³)/STAT1/IRF signaling. M1-like TAM programming fostered the recruitment of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs), including tumor-antigen-specific CTLs, inhibited tumor growth, and enhanced the efficacy of PD1 checkpoint blockade. Bioinformatics analysis of TAM transcriptomes identified a limited set of miRNAs putatively involved in TAM programming. Re-expression of Let-7 in Dicer-deficient TAMs was sufficient to partly rescue the M2-like (protumoral) TAM phenotype and abate tumor CTL infiltration. Targeted suppression of DICER activity in TAMs may, therefore, stimulate antitumor immunity and enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. To explore the role of DICER in the development, activation and immunological functions of TAMs, we crossed homozygous LysM-Cre (Clausen et al., 1999) with Dicerlox/lox (Harfe et al., 2005) mice to obtain mice with myeloid-cell-specific Dicer1 gene deletion (LysM-Cre;Dicerâ/â, referred to as Dâ/â). These mice were then backcrossed to LysM-Cre to obtain the control LysM-Cre; Dicer+/+ mice (referred to as D+/+). Both LysM-Cre and Dicerlox/lox mutations were always homozygous in our experiment. We then inoculated Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells subcutaneously (s.c.) in Dâ/â and control D+/+ mice. Once the tumors were established, we isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) tumor-associated macrophages (F4/80+ cells).

Fibroblastic reticular cells serve as primary immune checkpoint in visceral adipose tissues and secure peritoneal immunity

Project description:Immune protection of the body cavities depends on the swift activation of innate and adaptive immune responses in non-classical secondary lymphoid organs known as fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs). While it is well-established that fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are an integral component of the immune-stimulating infrastructure of lymph nodes and other classical secondary lymphoid organs, it has remained elusive whether and how FRCs in FALCs contribute to peritoneal immunity. Using FRC-specific gene targeting, we found that FALCs are underpinned by an elaborated FRC network and that initiation of peritoneal immunity was governed through FRC activation via MyD88-dependent innate immunological sensing. FRC-specific ablation of Myd88 expression blocked recruitment of inflammatory monocytes into FALCs and subsequent CD4+ T cell-dependent B-cell activation. Moreover, containment of Salmonella infection was compromised in conditionally Myd88-deficient mice indicating that FRCs in FALCs function as initial checkpoint in the orchestration of protective immune responses in the peritoneal cavity.

RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of mouse sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells

Project description:Adrenal chromaffin cells and sympathetic neuron are derived from neural crest precursors and both cell types can give rise to childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. However only limited is known about the mechanism of their development. Better understanding of their transcriptomic profiles during development could gives an insight into the cell fates acquisition as well as the origin of neuroblastoma. Yellow fluorescent protein expressing sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells were isolated from E12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mouse embryos by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Transcriptomic profiles of sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells from embryonic age (E)12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mice were generated by RNA sequencing, in four paired biological replicates.

Transcription profiling of mouse Abl pre-B cell lines with conditional deletion of dicer

Project description:Abelson virus (v-Abl)-transformed pre-B cell lines from BM of dcrfl/fl; R26R-yfp (4470; 4475) and dcrfl/+; R26R-yfp mice (4483) are treated with a transducible Cre protein (Tat-Cre) to induce deletion of the dicer-1 gene in vitro. Cre activity is conveniently monitored by concomitant expression of YFP. To obtain Dicer KO cells, YFP+ cells from dcrfl/fl; R26R-yfp (4470_YFP; 4475_YFP) cultures treated with Tat-cre were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and further propagated in cell culture. As controls, we used non-deleted, YFP- cells sorted from dcrfl/fl; R26R-yfp cultures (4470; 4475) treated with Tat-cre, and YFP+ deleted cells from dcrfl/+; R26R-yfp cultures (4483_YFP). To validate this system, various cell populations were sorted and analyzed for Dicer protein and miRNA expression. In the Dicer KO pro-B cell lines, Western analysis indicated that Dicer protein was efficiently ablated, and Northern blots demonstrated that the levels of mature miR-17 and miR-191 were drastically reduced.

BAFF and CD4+ T cells are major survival factors for long-lived splenic plasma cells in a B-cell–depletion context

Project description:Previous data have suggested that B-cell–depletion therapy may induce the settlement of autoreactive long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) in the spleen of patients with autoimmune cytopenia. To investigate this process, we used the AID-CreERT2-EYFP mouse model to follow PCs engaged in an immune response. Multiplex-PCR at the single-cell level revealed that only a small fraction of splenic PCs had a long-lived signature, whereas PCs present after anti-CD20 antibody treatment appeared more mature, similar to bone-marrow PCs. It suggested that, in addition to a process of selection, a maturation induced upon B-cell depletion drove PCs toward a long-lived program. We showed that BAFF and CD4+ T cells play a major role in PC survival niche, because combining anti-CD20 with anti-BAFF or anti-CD4 antibody greatly reduce the number of splenic PCs. Similar results were obtained in the lupus-prone NZB/W model. These different contributions of soluble and cellular components of the PC niche in the spleen demonstrate that the LLPC expression profile is not cell-intrinsic but largely depends on signals provided by the splenic microenvironment, implying that interfering with these components at the time of B cell depletion might improve the response rate in autoimmune cytopenia.

Single-cell gene expression of lymph node B cell-interacting reticular cells

Project description:Efficient germinal center formation requires the coordinated movement of B cells between distinct regions of the B cell follicle where their fate and function is governed by the integration of cues from their interacting partners. While CXCL13 is known to be important for B cell chemoattraction and follicle formation, the molecular identity of B cell-interacting reticular cells remains ill-defined. Moreover, how CXCL13-expressing, B-cell interacting reticular cells are reprogramed to cater to the developing germinal center remains unclear. Here we use the Cxcl13-Cre/TdTomato mouse model to genetically target and decipher the cellular composition of lymph node CXCL13-expressing reticular cells under steady-state and inflammatory conditions. Moreover, we examine the consequence of cell-specific, genetic perturbation of CXCL12 on the molecular identity of the reticular cell network. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that B cell follicle reticular cell subset specification is predetermined in the steady-state, although additional transcriptional changes accompany germinal center formation. Although genetic perturbation of CXCL12 alters GC topology, the molecular identity of the underlying reticular cells remains largely unperturbed.

The clock gene BMAL1 inhibits macrophage motility, phagocytosis, and impairs defence against pneumonia

Project description:The circadian clock regulates many aspects of immunity. Bacterial infections are affected by time of day, but the mechanisms involved remain undefined. Here we show that loss of the core clock protein BMAL1 in macrophages confers protection against pneumococcal pneumonia. RNAseq was performed on peritoneal macrophages from wild type and BMAL1 knock out mice.
