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.

Project description:RNAseq of exponentially growing cultures of the four agr prototype strains used in the study to investigate if differential expression of regulators interacting with the agr system could explain the differences in AIP sensitivity. Abstract Staphylococcus aureus both colonizes humans and causes severe virulent infections. Virulence is regulated by the agr quorum sensing system and its autoinducing peptide (AIP), with dynamics at the single-cell level across four agr-types – each defined by distinct AIP sequences and capable of cross-inhibition – remaining elusive. Employing microfluidics, time-lapse microscopy, and deep-learning image analysis, we uncovered significant differences in AIP sensitivity among agr-types. We observed bimodal agr activation, attributed to intergenerational phenotypic stability and influenced by AIP concentration. Upon AIP stimulation, agr III showed AIP insensitivity, while agr II exhibited increased sensitivity and prolonged generation time. Beyond expected cross-inhibition of agr I by heterologous AIP II and III, the presumably cross-activating AIP IV also inhibited agr I. Community interactions across different agr-type pairings revealed four main patterns: stable or switched dominance, and delayed or stable dual activation, influenced by community characteristics. These insights underscore the potential of personalized treatment strategies considering virulence and genetic diversity.

Project description:Inducing the long-term protection via effector memory CD8+ T cells residing in the peripheral tissues is the ultimate goal of T cell-based vaccination strategies. CD8+ T cell reacting against a particular set of antigenic peptides show propensity to generate stable pools of memory inflating cells with profound protective capacity. While the epitopes that induce memory inflation have been thoroughly characterized and used as excellent constituents of vaccines such as recombinant adenoviruses, the identity of the tissue factors responsible for maintaining memory inflating CD8+ T cells remains elusive. Here, we have used a Cre recombinase-dependent, -galactosidase (gal)–recombinant adenovirus vector that allowed for cell-specific expression of gal epitopes and identification of cell types involved in generation of inflationary responses. While targeting antigen expression to classical hematopoietic antigen presenting cells was insufficient to activate gal-specific CD8+ T cells, expressing the antigen exclusively in CCL19-producing fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) induced robust anti-gal CD8+ T cell response. Using bone marrow chimera mice to abolish the expression of major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) and Basic Leucine Zipper ATF-Like Transcription Factor 3 (BATF3) in hematopoietic cells we demonstrated that CCL19-expressing FCS function as antigen libraries, gradually releasing the antigen to CD103+ DCs to maintain gal-specific memory inflating population. Moreover, targeted ablation of CCL19-producing cells revealed that pulmonary fibroblastic stromal cells act as the principal organizer of the nurturing niches that support the metabolic conversion in CD8+ T cells necessary for the generation of long-lasting protective inflationary responses. Overall, our data reveal a hitherto unknown function of CCL19-expressiong fibroblastic stromal in supporting the metabolic fitness of CD8+ T cells, thereby promoting the generation of tissue-specific and long-lasting protective CD8+ T cell responses.

Project description:Splenic white pulp (WP) structures are underpinned by fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) to facilitate splenic compartmentalization and execute efficient immune responses. Although distinct WP FSCs exhibit various molecular traits, the origin and the hierarchical differentiation of different cell subsets are not characterized. Here we showed, the organization of splenic WP and the differentiation of WP FSCs were governed by lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signaling pathway. Cell fate mapping analysis revealed that different WP fibroblastic stromal cells descend from a common perivascular LTβR-sensitive mesenchymal lymphoid organizer cells (mLTo) at prenatal stage. Moreover, embryonic mLTo cells required LTβR signaling to give rise to different WP stromal cell subsets, while the proliferation of these cells was devoid of LTβR signaling but followed the development of WP during ontogeny. Moreover, cell fate mapping from different time point indicated a consecutive commitment of mLTo cells initiated from the proximal region around the splenic artery. RNAseq and differentiation trajectory analysis of distinct FSCs showed that Ltbr-deficient cells and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) from adult spleen exhibited a progenitor phenotype and revealed a closer hierarchical lineage with embryonic mLTo cells. Taken together, our results unveil that embryonic mLTo cells residing in the perivascular niches can give rise to different FSC populations in a LTβR-dependent manner during development.

Project description:Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) shape the organization of secondary lymphoid organs and actively promote the induction of immune responses by coordinating the interaction of innate and adaptive immune cells. However, the mechanisms underlying FRC functions during viral infections have remained largely unexplored. In the study, we combined FRC-specific genetic ablation of the type 1 IFN-alpha receptor (IFNAR) with high-dimensional transcriptomics analyses to elaborate the phenotypical alterations and functional consequences of impaired innate immunological sensing in FRC during lymph node-restricted viral infection

Project description:In vitro studies identified TBC1D4 as an regulator of renal ion and water transporting proteins. However, TBC1D4-deficient mice did not show a defective renal salt and water homeostasis. With microarray analysis we aimed to decipher compensatory mechanisms in TBC1D4-deficient mice which might mask the renal phenotype already on transciptomic levels. We used and compared mRNA of COPAS-sorted and -enriched distal convoluted tubule (DCT)-cells, known to express TBC1D4 at high levels, of 8-week old male homogenous C57/Bl6 mice of TBC1D4-deficient and wild-type mice.

Project description:In this placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial, we tested whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) elicited by four 5-minute cycles of 300 mmHg of cuff inflation/deflation of the lower limb would reduce myocardial necrosis in isoflurane-anesthetized patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Secondary outcomes were the perioperative release of the biomarkers NTproBNP, hsCRP, S100, atrial transcriptional profiles, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes. RIPC with concomitantly applied isoflurane did not affect the release of biomarkers or clinical outcome. NTproBNP release correlated with isoflurane- but not RIPC-induced transcriptional changes. For eleven randomly selected patients from each group (RIPC/CTL=no RIPC) two atrial samples were collected, one at the time of cannulation (T1) and one fifteen min after releasing the cross clamp (T2). The samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and later used for RNA isolation and subsequent microarray hybridization. Gene-level analysis was performed. the results of exon-level analysis will be published separately (only preliminary results available so far).
