Project description:It has been previously shown that airway exposure to Toll-like receptor ligands through lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-contaminated house dust or bacterial infections can exacerbate allergic inflammation; however, the underlying mechanism(s) controlling this response have not been fully elucidated. Here we report that basophils are the major source of Th2 cytokines that respond to TLR4 ligands, such as LPS and lipid A, in human PBMC and murine spleen cells. LPS activated human PBMCs to up-regulate mRNAs for not only pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and chemokines such as CXCL8 (IL-8), CCL2 (MCP-1), but also Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL13. Among PBMCs, we identified CD123+/BDCA4- basophils as the major source of IL-4 and IL-13 in response to LPS. Even in the absence of IgE, purified human basophils, as well as a basophilic cell line, were directly activated by LPS to produce IL-4 and IL-13. Moreover, LPS-stimulated IL-4 knockin mouse (4get mice) spleens identified the basophils as the major IL-4 producing cells in a TLR4-dependent manner. These results indicate that bacterial LPS may play a role in type-2 immunity through direct activation of basophils to produce IL-4 and IL-13. Keywords: Cell type comparison

Project description:In this study, we explored gene expression profiles of CD34-CLEC12Ahi pre-basophils isolated from the bone marrow as well as CD34-CLEC12Alo mature basophils from the bone marrow and CD34+ basophil progenitors. We revealed that the gene expression of mature basophils isolated from the bone marrow and spleen resembled each other whereas pre-basophils and mature basophils showed distinct gene expression profiles.

Project description:Human basophils were examined in vitro for changes in their mRNA expression profiles during stimulation under a variety of conditions. Basophils were obtained from two sources prior to purification, residual cell packs from leukapheresis procedures (which represent the 80% of the sample results) or by venipuncture. For cells obtained by leukapheress, purification included application of elutration, 2-step Percoll gradients and negative selection on Miltenyi columns using StemSep basophil isolation antibodies (see J. Immunol. Methods, 385:51, 2012). For cells obtained by venipuncture, purification included application of 2-step Percoll gradients following by negative selection on Miltenyi columns using StemSep basophil isolation antibodies. The time from subject donation to the start of an in vitro study (first lysis for mRNA) ranged from 6-7 hours for leukapheresis packs to 4-5 hours for venipuncture. Basophil purities averaged 99% for these studies. For most of the studies, purified basophils were incubated in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with human serum albumin (0.03%), 20 µg/ml gentamycin and glutamine (as glutamax) for several hours to 3 days depending on the stimulus. For most experiments, the day 0 lysis acted as the initial control in order to examine profiles for changes due to simple culture. The study included stimulation with interleukin-3, inteleukin-33, interleukin-5, interleukin-2, nerve growth factor, anti-IgE antibody (6061P, Hybridoma Labs, Maryland) or fmet-leu-phe (FMLP) and the sample title indicates the mode and length of stimulation.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms by which C/EBPa drives basophil differentiation and maintains basophil identity, we examined whether or not C/EBPa promotes basophil molecular programming and simultaneously represses mast cell molecular programming. We performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on basophils and mast cells and found that 6798 genes were shared by mast cells and basophils; 2033 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 1-3.3)-fold higher in basophils (differentially expressed in basophils); and 413 genes were expressed greater than 10 (log2 3.3)-fold in basophils (highly expressed in basophils). On the other hand, we found 569 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 -1 to -3.3) fold higher in mast cells and 171 genes were highly expressed in mast cells [greater than 10 fold (log2 -3.3)]. We treated purified basophils prepared from Cebpaf/f RosaYFP/creER mice and Cebpa+/+ RosaYFP/creER control mice with or without 4HT treatment for five days. Gene expression in the treated basophils was analyzed using microarray analysis. Overall, deletion of C/EBPa in basophils resulted in a reduction of mRNA expression for 248 genes and led to an increase in mRNA expression for 255 genes. The majority of the C/EBPa-regulated genes were either differentially or highly expressed in basophils or mast cells. In this study, we compared gene expression in basophils and mast cell and identified genes which specifically expressed in basophils and mast cells. By using Cebpa conditional knock out mice, we identified Cebpa regulated genes in basophils.

Project description:E-cadherin is a key regulator of epithelial cell-cell adhesion, which loss accelerates tumor growth and invasion. Aside epithelia, E-cadherin is also expressed in hematopoietic cells. The function of hematopoietic E-cadherin is however mostly elusive. In this study, we validated mouse models for functional investigation of hematopoietic E-cadherin in human hematopoiesis. We generated a hematopoietic specific E-cadherin knockout mouse model. In mice, hematopoietic E-cadherin is predominantly expressed within the basophil lineage, which expression is dispensable for the generation of basophils. Remarkably, E-cadherin mRNA or protein were not detected in human basophils. In contrast, human hematopoietic E-cadherin marks the erythroid lineage. E-cadherin expression in hematopoiesis thereby revealed striking evolutionary differences within the basophil and erythroid cell lineage between human and mouse. This is remarkable as E-cadherin expression in epithelia is highly conserved among vertebrates including human and mouse. Our study therefore revealed that the mouse does not represent a suitable model to study the function of E-cadherin in human hematopoiesis. Mouse models can be used to define the role of E-cadherin in basophils, which regulation however may not be conserved in human basophils. Overall, our study underscores the need to develop alternative means to study the role of E-cadherin in human erythropoiesis.

Project description:We characterized the bacterial diversity of chlorinated drinking water from three surface water treatment plants supplying the city of Paris, France. For this purpose, we used serial analysis of V6 ribosomal sequence tag (SARST-V6) to produce concatemers of PCR-amplified ribosomal sequence tags (RSTs) from the V6 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene for sequence analysis. Using SARST-V6, we obtained bacterial profiles for each drinking water sample, demonstrating a strikingly high degree of biodiversity dominated by a large collection of low-abundance phylotypes. In all water samples, between 57.2-77.4% of the sequences obtained indicated bacteria belonging to the Proteobacteria phylum. Full-length 16S rDNA sequences were also generated for each sample, and comparison of the RSTs with these sequences confirmed the accurate assignment for several abundant bacterial phyla identified by SARST-V6 analysis, including members of unclassified bacteria, which account for 6.3-36.5% of all V6 sequences. These results suggest that these bacteria may correspond to a common group adapted to drinking water systems. The V6 primers used were subsequently evaluated with a computer algorithm to assess their hybridization efficiency. Potential errors associated with primer-template mismatches and their impacts on taxonomic group detection were investigated. The biodiversity present in all three drinking water samples suggests that the bacterial load of the drinking water leaving treatment plants may play an important role in determining the downstream community dynamics of water distribution networks.
