Shared and unique features distinguishing follicular T helper (TFH) and regulatory (TFR) cells from peripheral lypmh node and Peyer's Patches [Agilent-084107]

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analyses were done comparing gene regulation of TFH and TFR cells isolated from Peyer’s Patches (PP) and immunized peripheral lymph nodes (pLN) revealing many regulatory patterns common to all follicular cells. However, in contrast to TFH cells, the kinetic but also the extent of regulation regarding many genes was attenuated in pLN TFR cells when compared to those of PP. Additionally, PP but not pLN TFR cells were largely unresponsive to IL2 and expressed Il4 as well as Il21. Together with fundamental differences in gene expression that were found between cells of both compartments this emphasizes specific adaptations of follicular T cell functions to their micro-milieu.

Project description:Leber2016 - Expanded model of Tfh-Tfr differentiation - Helicobacter pylori infection The parameters used in the model were obtained from experiments conducted by the authors, previous publications [ 1, 2, 3] and parameter optimisation carried out in the paper using particle swarm and genetic algorithms. This model is described in the article: Bistability analyses of CD4+ T follicular helper and regulatory cells during Helicobacter pylori infection. Leber A, Abedi V, Hontecillas R, Viladomiu M, Hoops S, Ciupe S, Caughman J, Andrew T, Bassaganya-Riera J. J. Theor. Biol. 2016 Jun; 398: 74-84 Abstract: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a highly plastic subset of CD4+ T cells specialized in providing B cell help and promoting inflammatory and effector responses during infectious and immune-mediate diseases. Helicobacter pylori is the dominant member of the gastric microbiota and exerts both beneficial and harmful effects on the host. Chronic inflammation in the context of H. pylori has been linked to an upregulation in T helper (Th)1 and Th17 CD4+ T cell phenotypes, controlled in part by the cytokine, interleukin-21. This study investigates the differentiation and regulation of Tfh cells, major producers of IL-21, in the immune response to H. pylori challenge. To better understand the conditions influencing the promotion and inhibition of a chronically elevated Tfh population, we used top-down and bottom-up approaches to develop computational models of Tfh and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cell differentiation. Stability analysis was used to characterize the presence of two bi-stable steady states in the calibrated Tfh/Tfr models. Stochastic simulation was used to illustrate the ability of the parameter set to dictate two distinct behavioral patterns. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis helped identify the importance of various parameters on the establishment of Tfh and Tfr cell populations. The core network model was expanded into a more comprehensive and predictive model by including cytokine production and signaling pathways. From the expanded network, the interaction between TGFB-Induced Factor Homeobox 1 (Tgif1) and the retinoid X receptor (RXR) was displayed to exert control over the determination of the Tfh response. Model simulations predict that Tgif1 and RXR respectively induce and curtail Tfh responses. This computational hypothesis was validated experimentally by assaying Tgif1, RXR and Tfh in stomachs of mice infected with H. pylori. The impulse of RXR as shown in the paper (figure 7C) can be implemented by creating an event in the curated SBML file. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000625.
