Naive CD4 T-cell activation identifies MS patients having rapid transition to progressive MS.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Our objective was to determine whether altered naive CD4 T-cell biology contributes to development of disease progression in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS).

Methods

We compared the naive CD4 T-cell gene expression profiles of 19 patients with SPMS and 14 healthy controls (HCs) using a whole-genome microarray approach. We analyzed surface protein expression of critical genes by flow cytometry after T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of naive CD4 T cells isolated from HCs and patients with SPMS.

Results

Hierarchical clustering segregated patients with SPMS into 2 subgroups: SP-1, which had a short duration of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), and SP-2, which had a long duration of relapsing-remitting MS. SP-1 patients upregulated numerous immune genes, including genes within TCR and toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways. SP-2 patients showed immune gene downregulation in comparison with HCs. We identified an SP-1-specific transcriptional signature of 3 genes (TLR4, TLR2, and chemokine receptor 1), and these genes had higher surface protein expression in SP-1 than in SP-2. After TCR stimulation for 48 hours, only SP-1 showed a progressive linear increase in TLR2 and TLR4 protein expression.

Conclusions

Differences in naive CD4 T-cell biology, notably of TCR and TLR signaling pathways, identified patients with MS with more rapid conversion to secondary progression, a critical determinant of long-term disability in MS.

Single-Cell Mapping of Progressive Fetal-to-Adult Transition in Human Naive T Cells.

Project description:Whereas the human fetal immune system is poised to generate immune tolerance and suppress inflammation in utero, an adult-like immune system emerges to orchestrate anti-pathogen immune responses in post-natal life. It has been posited that cells of the adult immune system arise as a discrete ontological "layer" of hematopoietic stem-progenitor cells (HSPCs) and their progeny; evidence supporting this model in humans has, however, been inconclusive. Here, we combine bulk and single-cell transcriptional profiling of lymphoid cells, myeloid cells, and HSPCs from fetal, perinatal, and adult developmental stages to demonstrate that the fetal-to-adult transition occurs progressively along a continuum of maturity-with a substantial degree of inter-individual variation at the time of birth-rather than via a transition between discrete waves. These findings have important implications for the design of strategies for prophylaxis against infection in the newborn and for the use of umbilical cord blood (UCB) in the setting of transplantation.

Human naive CD4+ T cell activation transcriptome

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global gene transcription underlying T cells activation during the first 24 hours after stimulation. CD4+CD45RA+ T cells were sorted and cultured with different stimulatory conditions (Non-stimulated, anti-CD3 and anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28) for different times (0 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours). 3 replicates for each condition were analyzed.

MM-BMSCs induce naive CD4+ T lymphocytes dysfunction through fibroblast activation protein ?.

Project description:BackgroundThe tumor microenvironment plays a major role in multiple myelomas (MM). MM-BMSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells) can support tumor growth and immune surveillance escape. On the other hand, fibroblast activation protein ?, expressed by cancer stroma cells including BMSCs, has been shown to potentiate epithelial cancers growth and immune suppression.ResultsMM-BMSC inhibited proliferation of T cells (P = 0.0138), promoted senescence of T cells (P < 0.001), consistent with decreased CD28 and hTERT expression (P < 0.001), Treg/Th17 was down-regulated by MM-BMSC (P = 0.031). After treatment with FAP? inhibitor PT-100, senescent rate was decreased (P = 0.001), Treg/Th17 was up-regulated (P = 0.024). FAP? was up-regulated by TCCM (P = 0.02). p-AKT was increased in MM-BMSC co-cultured T cells (P = 0.021) and decreased by PT-100 (P = 0.017). Higher level of TGF-? was observed in MM-BMSC co-cultured medium (P < 0.001), and down-regulated by PT-100 (P = 0.038). p-AKT was upregulated as compared to T-cells without MM-BMSCs (P = 0.021). The abnormal p-AKT level was distinctly decreased by PT-100 (P = 0.017).Materials and methodsThe expression of FAP? was analyzed by western blot and RT-PCR. The proliferation and senescence of CD4+ T cells was examined by cck-8 and ?-gal staining, and Treg/Th17, CD28 expression was analyzed by FCM. The FAP? and PI3K pathway was analyzed by western blot and their relationship with T cell function was detected by FCM and RT-PCR. The level of IL-10, IL-17 and TGF-? was detected by ELISA.ConclusionsMM-BMSCs inhibit T-cell proliferation and drive Th17 differentiation through FAP?/TGF-? axis, leading to the progression of myeloma. FAP?-induced T-cell senescence is mediated by the PI3K signaling pathway.

Mapping the landscape of chromatin dynamics during naive CD4+ T-cell activation.

Project description:T-cell activation induces context-specific gene expression programs that promote energy generation and biosynthesis, progression through the cell cycle and ultimately cell differentiation. The aim of this study was to apply the omni ATAC-seq method to characterize the landscape of chromatin changes induced by T-cell activation in mature naïve CD4+ T-cells. Using a well-established ex vivo protocol of canonical T-cell receptor signaling, we generated genome-wide chromatin maps of naïve T-cells from pediatric donors in quiescent or recently activated states. We identified thousands of individual chromatin accessibility peaks that are associated with T-cell activation, the majority of which were annotated intronic and intergenic enhancer regions. A core set of 3268 gene promoters underwent chromatin remodeling and concomitant changes in gene expression in response to activation, and were enriched in multiple pathways controlling cell cycle regulation, metabolism, inflammatory response genes and cell survival. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) was among those factors that gained the highest accessibility and expression, in addition to IL2-STAT5 dependent chromatin remodeling in the T-cell activation response. Using publicly available data we found the chromatin response was far more dynamic at 24-h compared with 72-h post-activation. In total 546 associations were reproduced at both time-points with similar strength of evidence and directionality of effect. At the pathways level, the IL2-STAT5, KRAS signalling and UV response pathways were replicable at both time-points, although differentially modulated from 24 to 72 h post-activation.

Naive CD4 T cells from aged mice show enhanced death upon primary activation.

Project description:Poor T cell immunity is one of the many defects seen in elderly humans and aged (Ad) mice. We report that naive CD4 T cells from aged mice (ANCD4 cells) showed greater apoptosis upon primary activation than those from young (Yg) mice, with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, poor activation of Rel family transcription factors and increased DNA damage. Their ability to enhance glycolysis, produce lactate and induce autophagy following activation was also compromised. ANCD4 cells remained susceptible to death beyond first cell division. Activated ANCD4 cells also showed poor transition to a 'central memory' (CM) CD44(high), CD62L(high) phenotype in vitro. This correlated with low proportions of CM cells in Ad mice in vivo. Functionally, too, IFN-gamma responses recalled from T cells of immunized Ad mice, poor to begin with, worsened with time as compared with Yg mice. Thus, ANCD4 cells handle activation-associated stress very poorly due to multiple defects, possibly contributing to poor formation of long-lasting memory.

The BMP Pathway Participates in Human Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation and Homeostasis.

Project description:Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) form a group of secreted factors that belongs to the TGF-? superfamily. Among different roles in a number of immune cell types, BMPs are known to regulate T cell development within the thymus, although the role of BMP signaling in human mature T cells remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that canonical BMP signaling is necessary during two critical events that regulate the size and function of human naive CD4+ T cell population: activation and homeostasis. Upon stimulation via TCR, naive CD4+ T cells upregulate the expression of BMP ligands triggering canonical BMP signaling in CD25+ cells. Blockade of BMP signaling severely impairs CD4+ T cell proliferation after activation mainly through regulation of IL-2, since the addition of this cytokine recuperates normal T cell expansion after inhibition of BMP signaling. Similarly, activation of canonical BMP pathway is required for both the maintenance of cell survival and the homeostatic proliferation induced by IL-7, a key factor for T cell homeostasis. Moreover, upregulation of two critical receptors for T cell homeostasis, CXCR4 and CCR9, triggered by IL-7 is also abrogated in the absence of BMP signaling. Collectively, we describe important roles of the canonical BMP signaling in human naive CD4+ T cell activation and homeostasis that could be valuable for clinical application.

Epigenetic dysregulation of naive CD4+ T-cell activation genes in childhood food allergy.

Project description:Food allergy poses a significant clinical and public health burden affecting 2-10% of infants. Using integrated DNA methylation and transcriptomic profiling, we found that polyclonal activation of naive CD4+ T cells through the T cell receptor results in poorer lymphoproliferative responses in children with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy. Reduced expression of cell cycle-related targets of the E2F and MYC transcription factor networks, and remodeling of DNA methylation at metabolic (RPTOR, PIK3D, MAPK1, FOXO1) and inflammatory genes (IL1R, IL18RAP, CD82) underpins this suboptimal response. Infants who fail to resolve food allergy in later childhood exhibit cumulative increases in epigenetic disruption at T cell activation genes and poorer lymphoproliferative responses compared to children who resolved food allergy. Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy.
