Project description:More than 50% of all patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) develop liver metastasis (CLM) that are characterized by poor prognosis and lack of reliable prognostic markers. Vd1 T cells are gd T innate-like lymphocytes endowed with a broad array of antitumor functions at peripheral tissues, but little is known about their impact in the pathophysiology of CLM. We assessed the phenotype and functions by flow cytometry, clonotype by gdTCR-sequencing, transcriptional profiles by single cell RNA-sequencing and clinical impact of human Vd1 T cells isolated from peripheral blood (PB), tumor-free liver parenchyma surrounding CLM (TFLP) and metastatic tumor (MT) from a large cohort of CLM patients. We show here that CLM tissue is highly enriched of CD69+ Vd1 T effector (TEF) cells in the TFLP area. These cells have a peculiar phenotype, high anti-tumour potential and correlate with a better clinical outcome in terms of lower numbers of liver metastatic lesions and longer overall survival (OS). Moreover, the specific terminally differentiated (TEMRA) CD69+ Vd1 cells can egress CLM tissue to re-circulate in the bloodstream, where they retains high effector functions and show phenotypic/transcriptional and gdTCR profiles that resemble their liver origin. Importantly, high frequencies of CD69+TEMRA Vd1 cells in PB predict a longer OS of CLM patients that is not affected by the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy/immunotherapy regimens administered to CLM patients. The presence at high frequencies of liver memory CD69+TEMRA Vd1 cells in CLM homing to PB represents a new important target to better predict CLM clinical outcomes and to develop novel protocols of adoptive cell transfer therapies.

Project description:We profile the expression pattern of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) at different time points of hypoxic stress. Through mRNA-seq, we identify functional waves of minor gene up-regulation at 8 and 24h hypoxia exposure followed by a massive wave of transcriptional activation after 48 hours. By weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we identify hub genes that likely play central roles in hypoxia transcription program. Strikingly, these hub genes included a prominent group of lincRNAs, suggesting non-coding RNAs may also have pivotal roles in the hypoxia regulatory circuit. HPMECs share a core hypoxia signature profile, but with some notably differences, indicating a portion of HPMECs hypoxia response is cell-specific. Collectively, our study comprehensive surveys the hypoxia transcriptome, and provides insight into the temporal dynamics of hypoxia transcriptional response.

Project description:Salt tolerance in grapevine is associated with the exclusion of chloride ions (ClM-bM-^@M-^S) from the shoot. The rate-limiting step for this process has been identified as the passage of ClM-bM-^@M-^S between the root symplast and the xylem apoplast through membrane integral proteins. To identify candidate genes for these proteins we used a custom microarray to compare the root transcriptomes of three grapevine varieties (Vitis spp.) that differ in their capacity to exclude ClM-bM-^@M-^S from shoots. When challenged with 50 mM ClM-bM-^@M-^S there were transcriptional responses that differed across the rootstocks 140 Ruggeri (a good ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder) and K51-40 (a poor ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder), and Cabernet Sauvignon (an intermediate ClM-bM-^@M-^S excluder and Vitis vinifera control). The magnitude of these salt-induced changes correlated with the amount of ClM-bM-^@M-^S accumulated in shoots. Abiotic-stress responsive transcripts (e.g. heat shock proteins) were induced in 140 Ruggeri. Respiratory transcripts were repressed in Cabernet Sauvignon. Expression of hypersensitive response and ROS scavenging transcripts were altered in the sensitive K51-40. Despite these differences, no obvious candidate ClM-bM-^@M-^S transporters were identified from the salt treatment. In contrast, under control conditions where differences in shoot ClM-bM-^@M-^S exclusion between rootstocks were still significant, we identified a number of genes encoding putative ion channels including VvSLAH3, VvALMT1, and possible regulators of these proteins such as VvSnRK2.6 and calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPK) as being differentially expressed between rootstocks. Members of the low affinity nitrate transporter (NRT1), and chloride channel (CLC) families were also identified. We propose these as useful candidates for further study within breeding programs aimed at improving plant salt tolerance in grapevine and other crops. Comparative: genotype versus genotype (control); and control (0 mM Cl) versus salt (50 mM Cl). Rooted leaves were grown as described by Gong et. al. (2010) (Journal of Experimental Botany). After 2 weeks of hydroponic growth, plants were exposed to 0 mM or 50 mM chloride stress for 4 days. Three biological replicates were used for 140 Ruggeri. Four biological replicates were used for Cabernet Sauvignon. Four biological replicates were used for K51-40. Each biological replicate consisted of total roots from four individual plants pooled together.

Project description:Mutations in minor spliceosome components are linked to diseases such as Roifman syndrome, Lowry-Wood syndrome, and early-onset cerebellar ataxia (EOCA). Here we report that besides increased minor intron retention, Roifman syndrome and EOCA can also be characterized by elevated alternative splicing (AS) around minor introns. Consistent with the idea that the assembly/activity of the minor spliceosome informs AS in minor intron-containing genes (MIGs), inhibition of all minor spliceosome snRNAs led to upregulated AS. Notably, alternatively spliced MIG isoforms were bound to polysomes in the U11-null dorsal telencephalon, which suggested that aberrant MIG protein expression could contribute to disease pathogenesis. In agreement, expression of an aberrant isoform of the MIG Dctn3 by in utero electroporation, affected radial glial cell divisions. Finally, we show that AS around minor introns is executed by the major spliceosome and is regulated by U11-59K of the minor spliceosome, which forms exon-bridging interactions with proteins of the major spliceosome. Overall, we extend the exon-definition model to MIGs and postulate that disruptions of exon-bridging interactions might contribute to disease severity and pathogenesis.

Project description:To determine the relationship between highly-conserved extended-haplotypes (CEHs) in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and MS-susceptibility.Among the ~200 MS-susceptibility regions, which are known from genome-wide analyses of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the MHC accounts for roughly a third of the currently explained variance and the strongest MS-associations are for certain Class II alleles (e.g., HLA-DRB1*15:01; HLA-DRB1*03:01; and HLA-DRB1*13:03), which frequently reside on CEHs within the MHC.Autosomal SNPs (441,547) from 11,376 MS cases and 18,872 controls in the WTCCC dataset were phased. The most significant MS associated SNP haplotype was composed of 11 SNPs in the MHC Class II region surrounding the HLA-DRB1 gene. We also phased alleles at the HLA-A, HLA-C, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DQB1 loci. This data was used to probe the relationship between CEHs and MS susceptibility.We phased a total of 59,884 extended haplotypes (HLA-A, HLA-C, HLA-B, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 and SNP haplotypes) from 29,942 individuals. Of these, 10,078 unique extended haplotypes were identified. The 10 most common CEHs accounted for 22% (13,302) of the total. By contrast, the 8,446 least common extended haplotypes also accounted for approximately 20% (12,298) of the total. This extreme frequency-disparity among extended haplotypes necessarily complicates interpretation of reported disease-associations with specific HLA alleles. In particular, the HLA motif HLA-DRB1*15:01~HLA-DQB1*06:02 is strongly associated with MS risk. Nevertheless, although this motif is almost always found on the a1 SNP haplotype, it can rarely be found on others (e.g., a27 and a36), and, in these cases, it seems to have no apparent disease-association (OR = 0.7; CI = 0.3-1.3 and OR = 0.7; CI = 0.2-2.2, respectively). Furthermore, single copy carriers of the a1 SNP-haplotype without this HLA motif still have an increased disease risk (OR = 2.2; CI = 1.2-3.8). In addition, even among the set of CEHs, which carry the Class II motif of HLA-DRB1*15:01~HLA-DQB1*06:02~a1, different CEHs have differing strengths in their MS-associations.The MHC in diverse human populations consists, primarily, of a very small collection of very highly-selected CEHs. Our findings suggest that the MS-association with the HLA-DRB1*15:01~HLA-DQB1*06:02 haplotype may be due primarily to the combined attributes of the CEHs on which this particular HLA-motif often resides.

Project description:Major- and minor-group rhinoviruses enter their host by binding to the cell surface molecules ICAM-1 and LDL-R, respectively, which are present on both macrophages and epithelial cells. Although epithelial cells are the primary site of productive HRV infection, previous studies have implicated macrophages in establishing the cytokine dysregulation that occurs during rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations. Even though major- and minor-group rhinoviruses are nearly genetically identical, these viruses do not replicate with equal success in monocyte-lineage cell lines. In human primary macrophages, differential mitochondrial activity and signaling pathway activation was observed between major- and minor-group rhinovirus upon initial HRV binding, indicating discordant receptor-dependent response to these rhinovirus types. As well, variances in phosphorylation of kinases (p38, JNK, ERK5) and transcription factors (ATF-2, CREB, CEBP-alpha) were observed between the major- and minor- group HRV treatments. The difference between major- and minor- group HRV activation of signaling pathways was confirmed through RNA-sequencing and observation of differential production of the asthma-relevant cytokines CCL20, CCL2, and IL-10. This is the first report of genetically similar viruses eliciting dissimilar cytokine release, transcription factor phosphorylation, and MAPK activation from macrophages. These results suggest that receptor dependence plays a role in establishing the inflammatory microenvironment initiated in part by monocytic-lineage cells in the human airway upon exposure to rhinovirus.
