Project description:Loss of Traf3 caused a dramatic induction of innate immune response genes. Antigen presentation, interferon response genes and genes responsible for foreign DNA and RNA recognition were strongly upregulated by deletion of Traf3, but KO of p100 in Traf3 KO samples reversed the activation of these pathways. We did not detect any stimulation by Traf3 KO of those signaling pathways classically involved in proliferation, including PI3K/AKT, JNK, TGF-beta, WNT and Hippo

Project description:Background: Lymphotoxin signaling via the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) has been implicated in several biological processes, ranging from development of secondary lymphoid organs, maintenance of splenic tissue, host defense against pathogens, autoimmunity, and lipid homeostasis. The major transcription factor that is activated by LTβR crosslinking is NF-κB. Two signaling pathways have been described that result in the activation of classical p50-RelA and alternative p52-RelB NF-κB heterodimers. Results: Using microarray analysis, we investigated the transcriptional response downstream of the LTβR in mouse embryoni fibroblasts (MEF) and its regulation by the RelA and RelB subunits of NF-κB. We describe novel LTβR-responsive genes that are regulated by RelA and/or RelB. Interestingly, we found that the majority of LTβR-regulated genes require the presence of both RelA and RelB, suggesting significant crosstalk between the two NF-κB activation pathways. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis confirmed that LTβR-NF-κB target genes are predominantly involved in the regulation of immune responses. However, other biological processes, such as apoptosis/cell death, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and taxis were also regulated by LTβR signaling. Moreover, we show that activation of the LTβR inhibits the expression of a key adipogenic transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (pparg), suggesting that LTβR signaling may interfere with adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions: Thus, microarray analysis of LTβR-stimulated fibroblasts revealed further insight into the transcriptional response of LTβR signaling and its regulation by the NF-κB family members RelA and RelB. Keywords: cell type comparison (wt vs relA-/- vs relB-/-) after genetic modification using a time course for each cell type (wt, relA-/-, relB-/-) two time points were analysed (0h as control and 10h) using 3 technical replicates resulting in 18 samples in total

Project description:Continuous thymic homing of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) via the blood is critical for normal T cell development. However, the nature and the differentiation program of the specialized thymic endothelial cells (ECs) controlling this process remain poorly understood. Here, using conditional gene-deficient mice, we find that lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) directly controls thymic ECs to guide HPC homing. Interestingly, T cell deficiency or conditional ablation of T-cell-engaged LTβR signaling results in a defect in thymic HPC homing, suggesting the feedback regulation of thymic progenitor homing by thymic products. Furthermore, we identify and characterize a special thymic portal EC population with features that guide HPC homing. LTβR is essential for the differentiation and homeostasis of these thymic portal ECs. Finally, we show that LTβR is required for T cell regeneration upon irradiation-induced thymic injury. Together, these results uncover a cellular and molecular pathway that governs thymic EC differentiation for HPC homing.

Project description:Treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains challenging due to extensive molecular, clinical, and pathological heterogeneity. Here, we report recurrent focal deletions of the chr14q32.31-32 locus, including TRAF3, a negative regulator of NF-κB signaling, in a cohort of uniformly-treated de novo DLBCL (24/324 cases). Integrative analysis uncovered a correlation between TRAF3 copy number loss and TRAF3 reduced expression. CRISPR-mediated TRAF3 loss-of-function (LOF) in DLBCL cell lines enhanced non-canonical NF-κB (NC NF-κB) signaling, rendering cells sensitive to shRNA-induced knockdown of the central NC NF-κB kinase, NIK. NIK pharmacological inhibitors differentially impaired proliferation, and induced apoptosis of TRAF3 LOF cells, further suggesting an acquired onco-addiction to NC NF-κB. Beyond these cell-intrinsic effects, co-culturing of TRAF3 LOF DLBCL cells with primary human CD8+ T-cells revealed an impairment in effector marker induction (Granzyme B, IFNγ) and proliferation in the latter. Accordingly, a reduction in T-cell infiltrates was observed in the microenvironment of TRAF3-low expressing primary DLBCL tumor samples. Neutralization of IL10 produced by TRAF3 LOF cells restored and enhanced GZMB and IFNγ expression in co-cultured CD8+ T-cells. Our findings demonstrate a direct relationship between TRAF3 genetic alterations and NC NF-κB activation, favoring pro-oncogenic cell-intrinsic effects and immune-evasive mechanisms, and highlight NIK as a therapeutic target in defined subset of DLBCL.

Project description:Splenic white pulp (WP) structures are underpinned by fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) to facilitate splenic compartmentalization and execute efficient immune responses. Although distinct WP FSCs exhibit various molecular traits, the origin and the hierarchical differentiation of different cell subsets are not characterized. Here we showed, the organization of splenic WP and the differentiation of WP FSCs were governed by lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signaling pathway. Cell fate mapping analysis revealed that different WP fibroblastic stromal cells descend from a common perivascular LTβR-sensitive mesenchymal lymphoid organizer cells (mLTo) at prenatal stage. Moreover, embryonic mLTo cells required LTβR signaling to give rise to different WP stromal cell subsets, while the proliferation of these cells was devoid of LTβR signaling but followed the development of WP during ontogeny. Moreover, cell fate mapping from different time point indicated a consecutive commitment of mLTo cells initiated from the proximal region around the splenic artery. RNAseq and differentiation trajectory analysis of distinct FSCs showed that Ltbr-deficient cells and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) from adult spleen exhibited a progenitor phenotype and revealed a closer hierarchical lineage with embryonic mLTo cells. Taken together, our results unveil that embryonic mLTo cells residing in the perivascular niches can give rise to different FSC populations in a LTβR-dependent manner during development.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-associated factors 2 and 3 (TRAF2 and TRAF3) were shown to function in a co-operative and non-redundant manner to suppress nuclear factor-κB2 (NF-κB2) activation, gene expression and survival in mature B cells. In the absence of this suppressive activity, B cells developed independently of the obligatory B cell survival factor, BAFF (B cell activating factor of the tumor necrosis factor family). This constitutive, lineage-specific suppression of B cell survival by TRAF2 and TRAF3 determines the requirement for BAFF to sustain B cell development in vivo. We wished to investigate the effect on gene expression in B cells which lacked the negative regulators TRAF2 and TRAF3, and hence had hyperactive NF-kB2 signalling. As Baff-tg mice display a similar phenotype, and have a genetic modification which acts in the same pathway, yet further up, than TRAF2 and TRAF3, we wished to compare and contrast Baff-tg B cells with TRAF2 and TRAF3 deficient B cells. This analysis should identify genes that are important in B cell survival. Experiment Overall Design: Lymph node B cells were purified from Traf2 B cell knockout mice, Traf3 B cell knockout mice, Baff-tg mice and respective controls. RNA was extracted and hybridised to Affymetrix 430 2.0 Mouse Genome Arrays. Samples were processed and hence analysed on three spearate days. Day 1 two control mice: Traf2lox/lox pool and CD19-cretg were compared to two knockout mice: Traf2DB 80 and Traf3DB 94. On Day 2 three control mice: Traf2lox/lox 77, Traf2lox/lox 79 and Traf3lox/lox 97 were compared to two knockout mice: Traf2DB 76 and Traf3DB 01. On Day 3 three control mice: WT33, WT34, WT35 were compared to three Baff-tg mice: Baff-tg 99, Baff-tg 100, Baff-tg 101.
