YY1lo NKT cells are dedicated IL-10 producers.

ABSTRACT: Co-expression of Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is required for the full function of the transcription factor, PLZF, which is essential for the development of natural killer T cell (NKT cell) effector functions. Discordant expression of YY1 and PLZF, therefore, might define NKT cell subsets with distinct effector functions. A subset of NKT cells was identified that expressed low levels of YY1. YY1lo NKT cells were found in all tissues, had a mature phenotype and, distinct from other NKT cells, expressed almost no ThPOK or Tbet. When activated, YY1lo NKT cells produced little IL-4 or IFN-?. YY1lo NKT cells were found to constitutively transcribe IL-10 mRNA and, accordingly, produced IL-10 upon primary activation. Finally, we find that tumor infiltrating NKT cells are highly enriched for the YY1lo subset. Low YY1 expression, therefore, defines a previously unrecognized NKT cell subset that is committed to producing IL-10.

Project description:Gene expression profiling on IL-10-secreting and non-secreting murine Th1 cells, stimulated in the presence or absence of the Notch ligand Delta-like 4 (Dll4), was performed to identify transcription factors co-expressed with IL-10. Primary naM-CM-/ve T helper cells were isolated from lymph nodes and spleens of C57BL/6 wildtype mice. Cells were enriched using the Multisort Kit from Miltenyi Biotec for CD25-CD4+CD62L+, and afterwards cultured under Th1 polarizing conditions. For activation, 0.25E06 naM-CM-/ve T cells were co-cultured with 0.75E06 MACSi Beads in 96-well flat bottom plates. MACSi Beads were coated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 (30 M-BM-5g of total primary IgG antibody per 1.0E08 beads) prior to seeding. Notch activation via Dll4 was induced by additional co-culture with MACSi Beads covalently coated with recombinant mouse Dll4. After 5 days in culture, the cells were restimulated with PMA/Ionomycin and subjected to an IL-10-secretion assay (Miltenyi Biotec) to separate IL-10-secreting and non-secreting cells. Using a BD Aria or DIVA cell sorter (Becton Dickinson), living CD4+ IL-10-secreting and non-secreting cells, with (co-culture with Dll4; 'TH1Notch') or without ('TH1Control') activation of the Notch signaling pathway, were isolated. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). The integrity and amount of isolated RNA was assessed for each sample using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany) and a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE). The preparation for the hybridization to the chip was done using the GeneChip 3' IVT Express Kit. Fifteen micrograms of fragmented cRNA of each sample were hybridized to a total of 4 mouse genome 430 2.0 GeneChips (Affymetrix). Hybridization was performed in a Hybridization Oven 640, and chips were washed and stained in the Fluidics Station 400 (both Affymetrix). Finally, the arrays were scanned with a GeneChip Scanner 3000 using the GCOS software, version 1.1.1., both Affymetrix. The data was analyzed using the original GCOS CHP-file Signals, Excel and AmiGO website.
