The Nod2 Agonist Muramyl Dipeptide Cooperates with the TLR4 Agonist Lipopolysaccharide to Enhance IgG2b Production in Mouse B Cells.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have shown that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Nod-like receptors (NLRs) were expressed in B cells and their signaling affects B cell functions. Nonetheless, the roles played by these receptors in B cell antibody (Ab) production have not been completely elucidated. In the present study, we examined the effect of the Nod2 agonist muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in combination with the TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a well-known B cell mitogen, on B cell viability, proliferation, and activation, and Ab production by in vitro culture of purified mouse spleen resting B cells. MDP combined with LPS to reinforce B cell viability, proliferation, and activation. Moreover, MDP enhanced LPS-induced IgG2b production, germline ?2b transcript (GLT?2b) expression, and surface IgG2b expression. In an experiment with Nod2- and TLR4-deficient mouse B cells, we observed that the combined effect of MDP and LPS is dependent on Nod2 and TLR4 receptors. Furthermore, the combined effect on B cell viability and IgG2b switching was not observed in Rip2-deficient mouse cells. Collectively, this study suggests that Nod2 signaling enhances TLR4-activated B cell proliferation, IgG2b switching, and IgG2b production.

Project description:We have begun to approach gd T cells more as prospective innate cells than as conventional T cells. Recent results indicated that purified gd T cells are primed directly in response to pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to better respond to secondary signals and increase expression of chemokine and activation-related genes. In microarray and real time PCR analyses of RNA derived from bovine and human gd T cells, transcripts encoding Nod2 were repeatedly amplified. Nod2 is the intracellular receptor for muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a subunit of PGN, functions in regulating innate activities, and was thought to be expressed primarily in APCs. Given our repeated detection of Nod2 transcripts in gd T cells, the specific direct response of gd T cells to MDP was analyzed by microarray, real time PCR, proteome array and in a functional priming assay. The results indicate a subtle activation in response to MDP akin to priming, and suggest a unique mechanism for differential gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: PBLs from calf 129 were stained with GD3.8 directly conjugated to FITC, washed, and sorted on a Vantage SE cell sorter (BD Immunocytometry Systems) as previously described. PBLs from calves 150 and 151 were stained with GD3.8, and anti-Mouse IgG magnetic beads and sorted with MACS magnetic bead system (Miltenyi Biotec) as previously described to a purity of >98%. Sorted cells were rested overnight, stimulated for 4 hours then lysed in Buffer RLT and genomic DNA sheared using Qiashredder columns then frozen at -80oC. RNA was extracted following the manufacturerâs protocol for RNeasy (Qiagen) column purification, assessed on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies), and amplified using the Affymetrix One-cycle protocol with approximately 1.7micrograms of total RNA as described in the GeneChipÂ® Expression Analysis Technical Manual (June 2004). Hybridizations to GenechipÂ® Bovine Genome Arrays (Affymetrix) were performed with 15 mg biotin labeled cRNA. Washing and staining was performed in the GeneChipÂ® Fluidics Station 450 using the Midi_euk2v3 protocol. Chip scans were performed on the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Scanner 3000. GeneChipÂ® Operating Software (GCOS v.1.1, Affymetrix) 19;20 was used for data collection.
