Transcriptional analysis of mouse CD4 T cells with high and low tonic signaling-naive and D7 in vivo activated.

ABSTRACT: These studies utilized two TCR transgenic mouse lines, LLO118 and LLO56, that our laboratory has developed and characterized, which recognize the same Listeria monocytogenes LLO/IO-Ab epitope with equal affinities. When 104 naive CD4+ LLO T cells are transferred into a B6 mouse and one day later infected with wild type Listeria monocytogenes, the LLO118 T cells have a more robust primary expansion than LLO56. In contrast, after a secondary challenge, LLO56 T cells have a much greater expansion than LLO118 T cells. One striking phenotypic difference between the LLO118 and LLO56 T cells lies in their CD5 expression. CD5 expression has been shown to correlate directly with TCR affinity for self-pMHC and tonic signaling. LLO56 cells have a higher basal phosphorylation of the TCR chain, and they have significantly increased expression of Nur77 mRNA. These transcriptional profiling experiments examined if there were transcriptional differences between LLO118 and LLO56 T cells, either naive or after D7 of infection, that would account for their disparate in vivo behaviors.

Project description:Developmental checkpoints in stem/progenitor cells are critical to the determination, commitment and differentiation into distinct lineages. Cancer cells often retain expression of lineage-specific checkpoint proteins, but their potential impact in cancer remains elusive. T lymphocytes mature in the thymus following a highly orchestrated developmental process that entails the successive rearrangements and expression of T-cell receptor (TCR) genes. Low affinity recognition of self-peptide/MHC complexes (self-pMHC) presented by thymic epithelial cells by the TCR of CD4+CD8+ (DP) cortical thymocytes transduces positive selection signals that ultimately shape the developing T cell repertoire. DP thymocytes not receiving these signals die by lack of stimulation whereas those that recognize self-pMHC with high affinity undergo TCR-mediated apoptosis and negative selection. In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), leukaemic transformation of maturating thymocytes results from the acquisition of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations in oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes, that disrupt the normal regulatory circuits and drive clonal expansion of differentiation-arrested lymphoblasts. We show here that TCR triggering by negatively-selecting self-pMHC prevented T-ALL development and leukaemia maintenance in mice. Induction of TCR signalling by high affinity self-pMHC or treatment with monoclonal antibodies to the CD3 signalling chain (anti-CD3) caused massive leukaemic cell death and a gene expression program resembling that of thymocyte negative selection. Importantly, anti-CD3 treatment hampered leukaemogenesis in mice transplanted with either mouse or patient-derived T-ALLs. These data provide a rationale for targeted therapy based on anti-CD3 treatment of T-ALL patients and demonstrate that endogenous developmental checkpoint proteins are amenable to therapeutic intervention in cancer cells. Gene expression data from four culture conditions was performed for the following cells: ALL-SIL-TCRÎ±/Î²-GFP co-cultured on OP9-DL1 for 48 h, ALL-SIL-TCRÎ±/Î²-GFP without co-culture, ALL-SIL cells transduced with TLX shRNA (sh-TLX), and ALL-SIL transduced with sh-control vectors. All conditions are performed in two replicates.
