Expression data from CD8+ T cells undergoing deletional tolerance

ABSTRACT: Peripheral tolerance induction is critical for the maintenance of self-tolerance and can be mediated by immunoregulatory T cells or by direct induction of T cell anergy or deletion. While the molecular processes underlying anergy have been extensively studied, little is known about the molecular basis for peripheral T cell deletion. Here, we determined the gene expression signature of peripheral CD8+ T cells undergoing deletional tolerance, relative to those undergoing immunogenic priming or lymphopenia-induced proliferation. From these data, we report the first detailed molecular signature of cells undergoing deletion. Consistent with defective cytolysis, these cells exhibited deficiencies in granzyme up-regulation. Furthermore, they showed antigen-driven Bcl-2 down-regulation and early up-regulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bim, consistent with the requirement of this BH3-only protein for peripheral T cell deletion. Bim up-regulation was paralleled by defective IL-7Ra chain re-expression, suggesting that Bim-dependent death may be triggered by loss of IL-7/IL-7R signaling. Finally, we observed parallels in molecular signatures between deletion and anergy suggesting that these tolerance pathways may not be as molecularly distinct as previously surmised.

Finally, we observed parallels in molecular signatures between deletion and anergy suggesting that these tolerance pathways may not be as molecularly distinct as previously surmised. NaÃ¯ve (CD44lo) OT-I T cells were CFSE labelled and transferred in a model of deletional tolerance (RIP-OVAhi mice), a model of immunity (mice primed with OVA coated splenocytes and LPS) or a model of lymphopenia induced proliferation (Rag-/- mice). 60 hrs (RIP-OVAhi and OVA coated splenocytes) or 5 days (Rag-/-) after transfer, OT-I cells that had undergone two or more divisions as determined by CFSE dilution were sorted, RNA extracted and samples were prepared for hybridisation to Affymetrix microarrays. As a control for naive cells, CFSE labelled OT-I cells were injected into antigen-free B6 mice and the undivided naive cells were sorted after 60 hrs and also used for microarray analysis. Two replicates were prepared for the naive cells, cells from RIP-OVAhi mice and cells from OVA coated splenocyte primed mice, while one replicate was prepared for the cells from Rag-/- mice.

Project description:Activation of peripheral T lymphocytes in the absence of pathogen induced inflammation or costimulatory signals results in tolerance. Two different tolerance mechanisms have been described, deletion and anergy. We recently demonstrated that an important variable which is responsible for the decision between anergy and deletion for CD8 T cells is the strength of signaling through the T cell receptor(Redmond and Sherman, Immunity 22:275,2005). However, it is not know what the downstream signals are that result in death(deletion) vs. survival(anergy)of the activated cells. Here we analysze additional conditions: 1) Wild Type mice were injected injected only once with a strain of vaccinia virus that express hemagglutinin from influenza; 2) BIM KO Clone 4 transgenic T cells were transferred into B10D2 mice then injected daily for 3 days with 1ug of KdHA peptide and sorted by flow cytometry according to their expression of CD8 and thy1.1; 3) Mice injected with 1 ug (deleted condition) of influenza hemaglutinin antigen (HA), 24 hours post injection CD8 T CL4 cells were sorted by flow cytometry (FacsARIA) and 4) WildType mice injected with 100 ug (anergic condition) of influenza hemaglutinin antigen (HA), 24 hours post injection CD8 T CL4 cells were sorted by flow cytometry (FacsARIA). Dr. Sherman's lab aims to assess the role of protein glycosylation in the decision between deletion vs. anergy in immune tolerance, they have prepared purified TCR transgenic CD8 T cells stimulated in vivo using a strong antigenic signal (anergy conditions) or a weak antigenic signal (deletion conditions) with cognate antigen. Dr. Sherman's lab wishes to assess transcriptional differences in genes involved in protein glycosylation in these 2 cell populations. Then control population will be naïve transgenic CD8 cells. RNA preparations of mouse CD8 T cells from the B10D2 strain with three different conditions (Naïve, Deleted, and Anergic) were sent to the Microarray Core (E). The RNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to the GLYCOv4 microarrays.

Marth and co-workers have previously shown that CD8 T cell apoptosis under conditions similar to those that occur during tolerance in vivo may involve a change in protein glycosylation (Van Dyken et.al., Mol.Cell.Bio.27:1096,2007).In order to assess the role of protein glycosylation in the decision between deletion vs. anergy in immune tolerance, we have prepared purified TCR transgenic CD8 T cells stimulated in vivo using a strong antigenic signal (anergy conditions) or a weak antigenic signal (deletion conditions) with cognate antigen.
