Precise Delineation and Transcriptional Characterization of Bovine Blood Dendritic-Cell and Monocyte Subsets.

ABSTRACT: A clear-cut delineation of bovine bona fide dendritic cells (DC) from monocytes has proved challenging, given the high phenotypic and functional plasticity of these innate immune cells and the marked phenotypic differences between species. Here, we demonstrate that, based on expression of Flt3, CD172a, CD13, and CD4, a precise identification of bovine blood conventional DC type 1 and 2 (cDC1, cDC2), plasmacytoid DC (pDC), and monocytes is possible with cDC1 being Flt3+CD172adimCD13+CD4-, cDC2 being Flt3+CD172a+CD13-CD4-, pDC being Flt3+CD172adimCD13-CD4+, and monocytes being Flt3-CD172ahighCD13-CD4-. The phenotype of these subsets was characterized in further detail, and a subset-specific differential expression of CD2, CD5, CD11b, CD11c, CD14, CD16, CD26, CD62L, CD71, CD163, and CD205 was found. Subset identity was confirmed by transcriptomic analysis and subset-specific transcription of conserved key genes. We also sorted monocyte subsets based on their differential expression of CD14 and CD16. Classical monocytes (CD14+CD16-) clustered clearly apart from the two CD16+ monocyte subsets probably representing intermediate and non-classical monocytes described in human. The transcriptomic data also revealed differential gene transcription for molecules involved in antigen presentation, pathogen sensing, and migration, and therefore gives insights into functional differences between bovine DC and monocyte subsets. The identification of cell-type- and subset-specific gene transcription will assist in the quest for "marker molecules" that-when targeted by flow cytometry-will greatly facilitate research on bovine DC and monocytes. Overall, species comparisons will elucidate basic principles of DC and monocyte biology and will help to translate experimental findings from one species to another.

Project description:BackgroundAge-associated changes in immunity are inextricably linked to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases, the impact of aging on monocyte subsets is poorly understood.MethodsFlow cytometry was applied to distinguish three monocyte subsets between 120 young and 103 aged individuals. We then analyzed the expression profiles of three monocyte subsets from 9 young and 9 older donors and CD14+ monocytes from 1202 individuals between 44 and 83 years old. Flow cytometry was used to measure β-galactosidase activities, ROS levels, mitochondrial contents, mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMPs) and intracellular IL-6 levels in three monocyte subsets of young and elderly individuals, and plasma IL-6 levels were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Mitochondrial stress and glycolytic rate of CD14+ monocytes from young and aged individuals were measured by Seahorse XFe24 Analyzer.ResultsCompared with young individuals, the percentage of classical subset in aged persons significantly decreased, while the proportion of nonclassical subset increased. Age-related differential genes were obviously enriched in cellular senescence, ROS, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial respiratory chain, IL-6 and ribosome-related pathways. Compared with young individuals, the β-galactosidase activities, ROS contents, intracellular IL-6 levels of three monocyte subsets, and plasma IL-6 levels in aged individuals were significantly elevated, while the MMPs apparently declined with age and the mitochondrial contents were only increased in intermediate and nonclassical subsets. CD14+ monocytes from elderly adults had conspicuously lower basal and spare respiratory capacity and higher basal glycolysis than those from young individuals.ConclusionsDuring aging, monocytes exhibited senescence-associated secretory phenotype, mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased oxidative phosphorylation and increased glycolysis and the nonclassical subset displayed the clearest features of aging. Our study comprehensively investigated age-related transcriptional alterations of three monocyte subsets and identified the pivotal pathways of monocyte senescence, which may have significant implications for tactics to alleviate age-related conditions.
