Project description:Neural crest cells are both highly migratory and significant to vertebrate organogenesis. However, the signals that regulate neural crest cell migration remain unclear. Here, we test the function of DAN, a BMP antagonist we detected by analysis of chick cranial mesoderm. Our analysis shows that, prior to neural crest cell exit from the hindbrain, DAN is expressed in the mesoderm, then it becomes absent along cell migratory pathways. Cranial neural crest and metastatic melanoma cells avoid DAN protein stripes in vitro. Addition of DAN reduces the speed of migrating cells, in vivo and in vitro respectively. In vivo loss-of-function of DAN results in enhanced neural crest cell migration by increasing speed and directionality. Computer model simulations support the hypothesis that DAN restrains cell migration by regulating cell speed. Taken together, our results identify DAN as a novel factor that inhibits uncontrolled neural crest and metastatic melanoma invasion and promotes collective migration in a manner consistent with inhibition of BMP signaling.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers adaptive immune responses from both T and B cells. However, most studies focus on peripheral blood, which may not fully reflect immune responses in lymphoid tissues at the site of infection. To evaluate both local and systemic adaptive immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, we collected peripheral blood, tonsils, and adenoids from 110 children undergoing tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to investigate the adaptive immune response locally, we measured the neutralizing antibodies against to multiple SARS-CoV-2 virus variants and performed high dimensional flow cytometry and CITEseq including TCR and BCR analysis for deeper characterization of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. In our CITE-seq analyses, we sorted SARS-CoV-2 S1 (spike 1) binding (Spike1+) and non-binding (Spike1-) CD19+ B cells from tonsils, adenoids, and PBMCs from two subjects with a history of COVID-19 and one uninfected control. To assess T cells at the single cell level, we sorted CD95+ CD4+ and CD95+ CD8+ T cells, identified expanded T cell clonotypes, and then compared the CDR3 sequences to those previously reported to recognize SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Our results provide evidence for persistent tissue-specific immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in the upper respiratory tract of children weeks to months after acute infection.

Project description:Dopaminergic neurons (DAn), generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), are capable of functionally integrating following transplantation and have recently advanced to clinical trials for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, pre-clinical studies have highlighted the low proportion of DAn within hPSC-derived grafts and their inferior plasticity compared to fetal tissue. Here we examined whether delivery of a developmentally critical protein, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), could improve graft outcomes. We tracked the response of DAn implanted into either a GDNF-rich environment, or after a delay in exposure. Early GDNF promoted survival and plasticity of non-DAn, leading to enhanced motor recovery in PD rats. Delayed exposure to GDNF promoted functional recovery through increases in DAn specification, DAn plasticity and dopamine metabolism. Transcriptional profiling revealed a role for MAPK-signalling downstream of GDNF. Collectively these results demonstrate the potential of neurotrophic gene therapy strategies to improve hPSC graft outcomes.

Project description:We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation study in induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC)-derived dopaminergic neurons (DAn) generated from keratinocytes of monogenic and sporadic Parkinson disease (PD) patients as well as of healthy subjects. We observed extensive DNA methylation changes in DAn from PD patients. These changes were neither present in the original keratinocytes nor in the undifferentiated IPSCs, suggesting latent molecular defects in PD keratinocytes that are manifested only upon differentiation into DAn. We also found that enhancers showing abnormal DNA hypermethylation in PD were enriched for binding sites of transcription factors such as FOXA1, NR3C1, HNF4A and FOSL2 which are involved in the survival of DAn and showed reduced expression. These data suggest that aberrant epigenomic remodeling of IPSC-derived DAn in PD is mediated by the down-regulation of key transcription factors. Our study suggests that future cell replacement strategies should pay careful attention to the correct epigenomic status of the reprogrammed cells, especially when using patient own skin cells.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of diverse cellular processes, but their roles in the developing immune system are poorly understood. In this study, we analysed lncRNA expression during human B-cell development by array-based expression profiling of eleven distinct flow-sorted B-cell subsets, comprising pre-B1, pre-B2, immature, naive, memory, and plasma cells from bone marrow biopsies (n=7), and naive, centroblast, centrocyte, memory, and plasmablast cells from tonsil tissue samples (n=6), respectively. A remapping strategy was used to assign the array probes to 37630 gene-level probe sets, reflecting the most recent updates in genomic and transcriptomic databases, which enabled expression profiling of 19579 long noncoding RNAs, comprising 3947 antisense RNAs, 5277 lincRNAs, 7625 pseudogenes, and 2730 additional lncRNAs. As a first step towards inferring the functions of the identified lncRNAs in developing B-cells, we analysed their co-expression with well-characterized protein-coding genes, a method known as â??guilt by associationâ??. By using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we identified 272 lincRNAs, 471 antisense RNAs, 376 pseudogene RNAs, and 64 lncRNAs within seven sub-networks associated with distinct stages of B-cell development, such as early B-cell development, B-cell proliferation, affinity maturation of antibody, and terminal differentiation. These data provide an important resource for future studies on the functions of lncRNAs in development of the adaptive immune response, and the pathogenesis of B-cell malignancies that originate from distinct B-cell subpopulations. Tonsils were collected from six patients (homo sapiens) during routine tonsillectomy. Mononuclear cells were isolated from tonsils and prepared for multiparametric flow cytometry using an optimized and validated protocol. B-cell subsets of naive, centroblasts, centrocytes, menory and plasmablast cells were isolated and a total of 30 gene expression profiles were generated using the HuEx-1_0-st-v2-micro array chip from Affymetrix.

Project description:To study characteristics of the orapharyngeal epithelia which may influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV, we performed microarray analysis of the tonsil and gingival epithelium.Tonsil epithelium has been implicated in HIV pathogenesis, but its role in oral transmission remains controversial. We performed microarray analysis of Laser Capture Microdissected tonsil and gingival epithelium. Our data revealed that genes related to immune functions such as antibody production and antigen processing were increasingly expressed in tonsil compared to the epithelium of another oro-pharyngeal site, gingival epithelium. Importantly, tonsil epithelium highly expressed genes associated with HIV entrapment and/or transmission, including the HIV co-receptor CXCR4 and the potential HIV binding molecules, FcRγIII, complement receptor 2, and various complement components. This increased expression of molecules involved in viral recognition, binding and entry may favor virus-epithelium interaction in an environment with reduced innate anti-viral mechanisms. Specifically, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, an innate molecule with anti-HIV activity, was minimal in the tonsil epithelium, in contrast to oral mucosa. Collectively, our data suggest that increased expression of molecules associated with HIV binding and entry coupled with decreased innate anti-viral factors may render the tonsil a potential site for oral transmission. Experiment Overall Design: To study characteristics of the orapharyngeal epithelia which may influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV, we performed microarray analysis of the tonsil and gingival epithelium. Experiment Overall Design: Human palatine tonsils were obtained from routine therapeutic tonsillectomies (sleep apnea and non-tonsillitis) performed on otherwise healthy adults at the George Washington University Hospital with informed consent (IRB #099920). Gingival tissues were collected from healthy sites with probing depths < 3mm, with no clinical evidence of inflammation during routine therapeutic periodontal surgery at the University of Maryland, Department of Periodontics, with informed consent (IRB#1201211). Tissues were immediately snap frozen for the microarray studies. CM performed immediately at 10x magnification, using a Leica AS LMD system (Leica Microsystems). Areas unequivocally identified as epithelium were outlined , laser-dissected and captured and RNA from the tissues isolated. Preparation of biotin-labeled cRNA, hybridization, and scanning were performed according to manufacturerâs two cycle protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Fluorescence intensity was measured using the Affymetrix GeneChip scanner and GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS, Affymetrix).
