Project description:CD4 and CD8 coreceptor double-negative TCRαβ+ T (DNT) cells are increasingly being recognized for their critical and diverse roles in the immune system. However, their molecular and functional signatures remain poorly understood and controversial. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 28,835 single immune cells isolated from mixed splenocytes of mice using strict fluorescence-activated cell sorting. In this study, our analysis revealed five transcriptionally distinct naïve DNT clusters, which expressed unique sets of genes and mainly performed T helper, cytotoxic and innate immune functions. Anti-CD3/CD28 activation enhanced their T helper and cytotoxic functions. Moreover, by comparing with CD4+, CD8+ T cells and NK cells, we found Ly6c2 and Ikzf2 were highly expressed by naïve DNT cells. Upon activation, cytotoxic DNT subpopulation, had significantly higher Ikzf2 expression and protein expression of Ly-6C. Our results presented a comprehensive view of the transcriptional states of individual functional subset of DNT cells, highlighting the importance of DNT cells in immune surveillance, defense, and homeostasis.

Project description:Acrylamide is a type-2 alkene monomer with established human neurotoxic effects. While the primary source of human exposure to acrylamide is occupational, other exposure sources include food, drinking water, and smoking. In this study, neurobehavioral assays coupled with transcriptional profiling analysis were conducted to assess both behavioral and gene expression effects induced by acrylamide neurotoxicity in rats when administered during early postnatal life. Acrylamide administration in rat pups induced significant characteristic neurotoxic symptoms including increased heel splay, decrease in grip strength, and decrease in locomotor activity. Transcriptome analysis with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 array indicated that acrylamide treatment caused a significant alteration in the expression of genes involved in muscle contraction, pain regulation, and dopaminergic neuronal pathways. First, in agreement with the observed behavioral effects, expression of the Mylpf gene involved in muscle contraction was downregulated in the spinal cord in response to acrylamide. Second, in sciatic nerves, acrylamide repressed the expression of the opioid receptor gene Oprk1 that is known to play a role in neuropathic pain regulation. Finally, in the cerebellum, acrylamide treatment caused a decrease in the expression of the nuclear receptor gene Nr4a2 that is required for development of dopaminergic neurons. Thus, our work examining the effect of acrylamide at the whole-genome level on a developmental mammalian model has identified novel genes previously not implicated in acrylamide neurotoxicity that can be further developed into biomarkers for assessing the risk of acrylamide exposure.

Three-week-old male Wistar rat pups were treated with either acrylamide or saline daily (30 mg/kg) for 21 days, then tissues (cerebellum, spinal cord, and sciatic nerve) were harvested and frozen. Two biological replicate samples, each sample consisting of pooled tissue from 2 rats, were analyzed for each treatment.

Project description:Progressive loss of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) is associated with the onset of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Transplantation of NPCs, derived from human pluripotent stem cells including hESC/iPSCs, may offer a novel therapy for IDD. To date, effective in vitro differentiations of notochordal and NP cells remained to be demonstrated. Towards this end, we developed a three-step protocol to directly differentiate hESC/iPSC towards mesodermal, then notochordal and finally NPCs. Our results showed that notochordal-like cells (NCCs) were successfully derived from the first two-steps of the protocol. Furthermore, these cells could be differentiated into NPCs. These NPCs expressed the tyrosine kinase receptor Tie2 (Tie2), disialoganglioside 2 (GD2), collagen II and aggrecan. Genome-wide transcriptomic analyses by sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed the expression of a wide array of known NP markers, extracellular matrix (ECM) genes, up-stream regulators and pathways. Cross-comparison of in vitro RNA-seq profiles with in vivo human NP data confirmed the in vitro NPCs are significantly more similar to in vivo NP than hESC/iPSCs. Transplantation of NPCs effectively attenuated disc injury in a rat model of IDD. We utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to seamlessly knock in an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) to the loci of the Noto gene in ESCs for NCC generation. Our study achieved effective notochordal differentiation and provided transcriptomic insights into the use of human ESC/iPSCs.

Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a liver-specific autoimmune disease. Treatment of PBC with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is not sufficient to prevent disease progression, new and creative approaches to treating patients with PBC are urgently required. Double-negative T (DNT) cells, unique regulatory T cells, play crucial roles in maintaining immune system homeostasis. However, both the absolute number and proportion of liver DNT cells were reduced in PBC patients. Hence, it is worth pursuing that whether replenishment of DNT cells can improve the hepatic function and pathology of PBC. In this study, adoptive transfer of DNT cells significantly decreases plasma levels of ALT, AST, AMA-M2 and IgM in both dnTGFβ RII and 2OA-BSA-immunized PBC mouse models. In addition, DNT cells exhibit a strong suppression on liver T cells. While combination therapy with DNT cells and UDCA predominantly ameliorate liver inflammation and extensively inhibit hepatic T and B cells. In vitro study further reveals that UDCA promotes the proliferation of DNT cells, increased functional molecule perforin and reduced inhibitory molecule NKG2A and EPCR expression, resulting in augmenting the suppressive function of DNT cells via FXR/JNK signaling pathway in both mice and human DNT cells. In conclusion, UDCA augments the suppressive function of DNT cells via FXR/JNK. A single transfer of DNT cells in combination with UDCA strongly ameliorates PBC in mice. This study provides a potential application of DNT cell-based therapy for PBC. Methods: The DNT cells incubation with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies were stimulated with UDCA (60uM) for 48 hours, then transcriptome sequencing studies were performed on DNT cells RNA.Transcriptome sequencing libraries were generated using NEBNext® Ultra™ RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (NEB, USA) following manufacturer’s recommendations and sequenced on an Illumina Hiseq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Sequences were aligned to the reference genome with TopHat and processed with Cufflinks, which quantifies each transcript in each sample using reference annotations produced by the University of California Santa Cruz UCSC. Differentially expressed genes with a fold change of >=1.41 and pvalue <= 0.05 between UDCA treated and control DNT cells were submitted to GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, which uses unbiased methods to assess pathway enrichment.

Project description:Methods: To better understand the role of OX40 in the regulation of double-negative regulatory T cells (DNT), OX40 deficiency and wild-type DNT converted from naïve CD4 T cells were compared in a transcriptome sequencing study. Total RNA was isolated from FACS-separated DNT. Transcriptome sequencing libraries were generated using NEBNext® Ultra™ RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (NEB, USA) following manufacturer’s recommendations and sequenced on an Illumina Hiseq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Sequences were aligned to the reference genome with TopHat and processed with Cufflinks, which quantifies each transcript in each sample using reference annotations produced by the University of California Santa Cruz UCSC. Differentially expressed genes with a fold change of >=2.0 and padj < 0.05 between OX40 deficiency and control DNT were submitted to GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, which uses unbiased methods to assess pathway enrichment. Results: Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses revealed that OX40 knockout are involved in regulatory function of DNT; including suppressive function, apoptosis, proliferation, and so on. Compared to control DNT, OX40 knockout DNT exhibited up-regulation of 52 genes and down-regulated of 46 genes. The most enriched GO term were Signal Transduction, Protein Binding, and Banding.

Project description:As part of our study on the effect of LPA on HESC-derived NPCs, we have employed whole genome microarray analysis to identify genes which were up- and downregulated in the presence of LPA compared to non-LPA-treated control-NPCs and which might be involved in the expansion of the apical domain of NPCs and large rosette formation that we observe after LPA-treatment.

Project description:Despite the progress in safety and efficacy of cell therapy with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the presence of residual undifferentiated stem cells or proliferating neural progenitor cells (NPCs) with rostral identity has remained a major challenge. Here we reported the generation of an LMX1A knock-in GFP reporter human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line that marks the early dopaminergic progenitors during neural differentiation. Purified GFP positive cells in vitro exhibited expression of mRNA and proteins that characterized and matched the midbrain dopaminergic identity. Further proteomic analysis of enriched LMX1A+ cells identified several membrane associated proteins including CNTN2, enabling prospective isolation of LMX1A+ progenitor cells. Transplantation of hPSC-derived purified CNTN2+ progenitors enhanced dopamine release from transplanted cells in the host brain and alleviated Parkinson’s disease symptoms in animal models. Our study establishes an efficient approach for purification of large numbers of hPSC-derived dopaminergic progenitors for therapeutic applications.
