Project description:The production of IL-21 by T follicular helper (Tfh) cells is vital in driving the germinal centre reaction and high affinity antibody formation. However, the degree of Tfh cell heterogeneity and function is not fully understood. Using a novel IL-21eGFP reporter mouse strain, we identified a subpopulation of GFP+ highly differentiated Tfh cells in Peyer’s Patches. In vitro, GFP+ cells that did not co-express IL-17 or Foxp3 were induced by CD3 and CD28 stimulation of naïve CD4+ cells from IL-21eGFP mice in cultures containing IL-6, TGFβ and retinoic acid. In vivo, the differentiation of GFP+Tfh cells in Peyer’s Patches was induced by intestinal bacteria, and required CD4+ T cells and B cells with diverse repertoires. Analysis of the TCRβ repertoire of Peyer’s Patches CD4+ T cell subpopulations demonstrated that GFP+Tfh cells are polyclonal and closely related to GFP-Tfh cells. Importantly, ablation of GFP+ cells resulted in a reduced frequency of Peyer’s Patches germinal center B cells and small but significant shifts in gut microbiome composition. Thus, using a new IL-21-reporter mouse we have identified a subpopulation of Tfh cells induced by the gut microbiota and necessary for optimal Peyer’s Patches germinal center responses.

Project description:Chronic enteric Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infections are endemic in cattle worldwide but disease management is thwarted by a lack of therapeutics to prevent or control infection. A better understanding of the host-pathogen interactions occurring in Peyer’s patches (PP), the portal of MAP entry and site of infection, is required to develop effective vaccines. The ruminant small intestine possesses two structurally and functionally distinct PP (discrete [dPP] found in jejunum and continuous [cPP] found in ileum). Using RNA-Seq, we investigated the long-term outcome of persistent MAP infection in dPP compared to cPP in neonatal calves using surgically isolated intestinal segments containing draining mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and Peyer’s Patches (PP). At 12 months post-infection, MAP persisted at a detectable level in cPP (n=4), but was controlled in dPP (n=5). This study demonstrates a marked regional difference in both persistence of MAP infection and the mucosal immune responses that occur in dPP and cPP following infection.

Project description:Tissue resident iNKT cells maintain tissue homeostasis and peripheral surveillance against pathogens; however, studying these cells is challenging due to low abundance and poor recovery from tissues. To increase the number of tissue resident iNKT cells, we used transnuclear mice cloned from iNKT nuclei. We detected iNKT cells from tissues where they are rare, including adipose, lung, skin-draining lymph nodes, and a previously undescribed population in Peyer’s patches (PP). We characterized the transcriptional profile of this novel population by bulk RNA-Seq.

Project description:Inappropriate cross talk between mammals and their gut microbiota may trigger intestinal inflammation and drive extra-intestinal immune-mediated diseases. Studies with germ-free or gnotobiotic animals represent the gold standard for research on bacterial-host interaction but they are not readily accessible to the wide scientific community. We aimed at refining a protocol that in a robust manner would deplete murine intestinal microbiota and prove to have significant biologic validity. Previously published protocols for depleting mice of their intestinal microbiota by administering broad-spectrum antibiotics in drinking water were difficult to reproduce. We show that twice daily delivery of antibiotics by gavage depleted mice of their cultivable fecal microbiota and reduced the fecal bacterial DNA load by approximately 400 fold while ensuring the animals’ health. Mice subjected to the protocol for 17 days displayed enlarged ceca, reduced Peyer’s patches and small spleens. Antibiotic treatment significantly reduced the expression of antimicrobial factors and altered the expression of 517 genes in total in the colonic epithelium. Genes involved in cell cycle were significantly altered concomitant with reduced epithelial proliferative activity in situ assessed by Ki-67 expression, suggesting that commensal microbiota drives cellular proliferation in colonic epithelium. We present a robust protocol for depleting mice of their cultivatable intestinal microbiota with antibiotics by gavage and show that the biological effect of this depletion is phenotypic characteristics and epithelial gene expression profile similar to those of germ-free mice. Comparison of genome-wide gene expression of colon intestinal epithelial cells from mice subjected to microbiota depletion protocol against to control mice.

Project description:Gut-educated IgA-secreting plasma cells that disseminate beyond the mucosa and into systemic tissues can help prevent disease in several contexts. Here we show, the commensal bacteria Bacteroides fragilis (Bf), is an efficient inducer of systemic IgA responses. The generation of bone marrow IgA plasma cells and high levels of serum IgA specific to Bf requires robust intestinal colonization. Bf-specific IgA responses were severely diminished in mice lacking Peyer’s patches, but not mice lacking a cecal patch. Colonization resulted in few changes in the host transcriptional profile in the gut, suggesting a commensal relationship. High levels of Bf-specific serum IgA, but not IgG, provided protection from peritoneal abscess formation in a bowel perforation model of Bf dissemination. These findings demonstrate a critical role for bacterial colonization and Peyer’s patches in the induction of robust systemic IgA responses that confer protection from bacterial dissemination originating from the gut.

Project description:Advanced age is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which is usually referred to as inflammaging. Elderly are also known to have an altered gut microbiota composition. However, whether inflammaging is a cause or consequence of an altered gut microbiota composition is not clear. In this study gut microbiota from young or old conventional mice was transferred to young germ-free mice. Four weeks after gut microbiota transfer immune cell populations in spleen, Peyer’s patches, and mesenteric lymph nodes from conventionalized germ-free mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, whole-genome gene expression in the ileum was analyzed by microarray. Gut microbiota composition of donor and recipient mice was analyzed with 16S rDNA sequencing. Here we show by transferring aged microbiota to young germ-free mice that certain bacterial species within the aged microbiota promote inflammaging. This effect was associated with lower levels of Akkermansia and higher levels of TM7 bacteria and Proteobacteria in the aged microbiota after transfer. The aged microbiota promoted inflammation in the small intestine in the germ-free mice and enhanced leakage of inflammatory bacterial components into the circulation was observed. Moreover, the aged microbiota promoted increased T cell activation in the systemic compartment. In conclusion, these data indicate that the gut microbiota from old mice contributes to inflammaging after transfer to young germ-free mice.

Project description:The specialized monocyte-derived phagocytes termed LysoDC are hallmarks of Peyer’s patches where their main function is to sample pathogens. However, their differentiation pathway and migratory properties remain uncharacterized. From single-cell RNA sequencing, we built LysoDC differentiation trajectories and fate diversity in correlation with their location and functions. All LysoDC differentiation states display similar phagocytic activity. One of them is located in follicles in a CXCR5-independent manner whereas the others reside in subepithelial domes (SED) and mature as they get closer to the epithelium. Immature LysoDC proliferate. Mature LysoDC acquire a gene signature shared with SIRP alpha-expressing conventional DC and prime naïve T cells in vitro but, at steady state, do not migrate in naïve T cells-enriched interfollicular regions (IFR). However, upon stimulation, they express the chemokine receptor CCR7 and migrate from the SED to the IFR periphery where they strongly interact with proliferative T cells. Finally, we show that LysoDC populates human Peyer’s patches.
