Project description:Our study investigates the features and anti-tumor function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from our well described NK cell line - NK3.3 - the only published clonal, normal human cell line to date. Natural killer (NK) cells, critical for proper immune function, destroy tumor cells primarily through the release of granules containing potent cytolytic molecules. NK cells also release these molecules within membrane-bound exosomes and microvesicles collectively known as EVs. We show that NK3.3 EVs contain the cytolytic molecules perforin, granzymes A and B, and granulysin, and an array of common EV proteins. We previously showed that the E3 ubiquitin ligase identified by our laboratory, natural killer lytic-associated molecule (NKLAM/RNF19b), is localized to NK granules and is essential for maximal NK killing; our current study shows NKLAM situated within the NK3.3 EV membrane. Analysis of NK3.3 EV contents also identified multiple RNA species including miRNAs associated with anti-tumor activity. We demonstrate that treatment of an array of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic tumor cell lines with NK3.3 EVs inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis and cell death while leaving normal cells unaffected. Taken together, our study suggests that NK3.3 EVs have the potential to be effective immunotherapeutic agents.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in uterine natural killer (NK) cells purified from either lean (control) or obese pregnanct women. The studys' aim is to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways in natural killer cells that are affected by maternal obesity. Results provide mechanitic insight into gene pathways altered in the condition of obeisty. Total RNA obtained from immuno-magnetic bead purified natural killer cells from uterine decidual mucosa from 7 to 10 week old pregnancies from 13 lean (BMI 20-24.9) and 11 obese (BMI >30) women. All women were between 19 and 35 years of age. In addition to BMI, blood serum CRP (hsCRP), a measure of inflammation, was measured via ELISA.

Project description:This study compared whole transcriptome signatures of 6 immune cell subsets and whole blood from patients with an array of immune-associated diseases. Fresh blood samples were collected from healthy subjects and subjects diagnosed type 1 diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and sepsis, as well as multiple sclerosis patients before and 24 hours after the first treatment with IFN-beta. At the time of blood draw, an aliquot of whole blood was collected into a Tempus tube (Invitrogen), while the remainder of the primary fresh blood sample was processed to highly pure populations of neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, and natural killer cells. RNA was extracted from each of these cell subsets, as well as the whole blood samples, and processed into RNA sequencing (RNAseq) libraries (Illumina TruSeq). Sequencing libraries were analyzed on an Illumina HiScan, with a target read depth of ~20M reads. Reads were demultiplexed, mapped to human gene models (ENSEMBL), and tabulated using HTSeq. Read count data were normalized by the TMM procedure (edgeR package). We performed whole genome RNAseq profiling of immune cell subsets and whole blood from subjects with an array of immune-associated diseases.

Project description:The field of proteomics has evolved hand-in-hand with technological advances in LC-MS/MS systems, now enabling the analysis of very deep proteomes in a reasonable time. However, most applications do not deal with full cell or tissue proteomes, but rather with restricted sub-proteomes relevant for the research context at hand or resulting from extensive fractionation. At the same time, investigation of many conditions or perturbations puts a strain on measurement capacity. Here we develop a high throughput workflow capable of dealing with large numbers of low or medium complexity samples and specifically aim at the analysis of 96-well plates in a single day (15 min per sample). We combine parallel sample processing with a modified liquid chromatography platform driving two analytical columns in tandem, which are coupled to a quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Q Exactive HF). The modified LC platform eliminates idle-time between measurements and the very high sequencing speed of the Q Exactive HF dramatically reduces required measurement time. We apply the pipeline to the yeast chromatin remodeling landscape, and demonstrate quantification of 96 pull-downs of chromatin complexes in about one day. This is achieved with only 500 µg input material, enabling yeast cultivation in a 96-well format. Our system retrieved known complex-members and the high throughput allowed probing with many bait proteins. Even alternative complex compositions were detectable in these very short gradients. Thus, sample throughput, sensitivity and LC/MS-MS duty cycle are improved several-fold compared to established workflows. The pipeline can be extended to different types of interaction studies and to other medium complexity proteomes.

Project description:An allorecognition system depending on interactions between uterine Natural Killer (uNK) cells and placental extravillous trophoblast (EVT) during early pregnancy influences reproductive outcomes in humans. Our previous immunogenetic studies show that particular combinations of maternal Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) in uNK cells with fetal HLA-C variants on EVT are associated with disorders of pregnancy, especially pre-eclampsia. To identify responses stimulated in uNK cells specifically when activating KIR (KIR2DS1) binds to C2+HLA-C, a combination protective against pre-eclampsia, we modelled KIR-HLA interactions by co-culturing uNK cells with the 721.221 HLA-null cell line transfected to express either C1+ or C2+HLA-C molecules, followed by transcriptome profiling by RNA sequencing. We detect the secretion of key cytokines by uNK cells under the protective combination between KIR2DS1 and C2+HLA-C.

Project description:Deep Lake is a hypersaline system in Antarctica (68°33’36.8S, 78°11’48.7E) that is so saline it remains liquid at –20°C (DeMaere et al 2013). The lake is dominated by haloarchaea, comprising a low-complexity community that differs greatly to warm-hot latitude hypersaline systems, is hierarchical structured, and supports a high level of intergenera gene exchange. Metaproteomics was performed on biomass that was collected in the austral summer of 2008 by sequential size fractionation (20 – 3 µm, 3 – 0.8 µm, 0.8 – 0.1 µm). The data were integrated to obtain a systems level view of the active host-virus interactions occurring in this novel aquatic Antarctic system.

Project description:Here, we analyzed patient-derived glioblastoma xenografts generated in the mouse brain that give rise to three different histological phenotypes: (i) a highly invasive phenotype (ii) a highly angiogenic phenotype and (iii) an intermediate phenotype. Cell type-specific transcriptomic profiles of tumor and stromal endothelial cells were analyzed to reveal phenotype-specific gene expression patterns and the reciprocal crosstalk between tumor and stromal endothelial cells. This part of the study contains the analysis of the patient-derived tumor cells. The analysis of the stromal endothelial cells of the host mice is found under E-MTAB-3949.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of HIF-2a in regulating RCC susceptibility to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing. We demonstrated that the RCC cell line 786-O with mutated VHL was resistant to NK-mediated lysis as compared to the VHL corrected cell line (WT7). This resistance was independent of immunological synapse formation and NK ligand expression but was found to be reliant on HIF-2a stabilization in 786-0 cells. In order to elucidate the molecular basis of HIF-2a-induced impairment of NK-mediated killing, we performed global gene analysis using DNA microarray. Three candidate genes (ANGPTL4, ADM and ITPR1) were selected on the basis of their fold change and their involvement in cell death and survival. SiRNA targeting of these genes revealed that only ITPR1 silencing resulted in a significant increase of 786-O susceptibility to NK-mediated lysis. Using gene silencing of HIF2-a and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we showed for the first time that ITPR1 was a direct novel target of HIF2-a. Notably, a strong and significant correlation was found between ITPR1and HIF2-a staining in RCC patients. Transcriptional profiling of ITPR1silenced RCC cells indicated that several important genes involved in cell survival and apoptosis were differentially regulated. Using ITPR1 silenced Renca cells, we further found that ITPR1 was involved in the control of tumor progression. Moreover ITPR1 targeting combined with NK depletion significantly enhanced tumor growth as compared to ITPR1 knocked down Renca xenografts. Our data provide insights into the link between HIF-2a, ITPR1-related pathway and natural immunity and suggest a role of the HIF2/ITPR1 axis in regulating RCC cell survival.
