Pathogen size alters C-type lectin receptor signaling in dendritic cells to influence CD4 Th9 cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucan in fungal cell walls, and activation of Dectin-1 in dendritic cells (DCs) influences immune responses against fungi. Although many studies have shown that Dectin-1 activated DCs induce different subsets of T helper cells according to different cytokine milieus, the precise mechanisms underlying such differences remain unknown. By harnessing polymorphic Candida albicans and polystyrene beads of different sizes, we found that target size influences production of cytokine that control differentiation of T helper cell subsets. Hyphal C. albicans and large beads activate DCs but cannot be phagocytosed due to their size, which prolongs the duration of Dectin-1 signaling. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of Il33 was significantly increased by larger targets, and increased IL-33 expression promoted TH9 responses. Expression of IL-33 was regulated by Dectin-1-SYK-PLCγ-CARD9-ERK pathway. Altogether, our study demonstrates that size of fungi can be a determining factor in which DCs induce context-appropriate adaptive immune responses.

Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells after 12h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and LPS

Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. Therefore, DCs of four independent donors were harvested after 12 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus- and C. albicans-stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control.

Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells co-cultivated with Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and LPS for 6h

Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component LPS were investigated. Therefore DCs of four independent donors were analyzed after 6 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS by Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus and C. albicans stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control. Stimulation with LPS induced a differential regulation of 2793 genes after 6h, while confrontation with A. fumigatus and C. albicans resulted in 743 and 974 differentially regulated genes, respectively. Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) was identified as the only transcription factor that was down-regulated in DCs by both fungi but induced by stimulation with LPS.

The protective effect of inflammatory monocytes during systemic C. albicans infection is dependent on collaboration between C-type lectin-like receptors

Project description:Invasive candidiasis, mainly caused by Candida albicans, is a serious healthcare problem with high mortality rates, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Innate immune cells express pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) including C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) that bind C. albicans to initiate an immune response. Multiple CLRs including Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle have been proposed individually to contribute to the immune response to C. albicans. However how these receptors collaborate to clear a fungal infection is unknown. Herein, we used novel multi-CLR knockout (KO) mice to decipher the individual, collaborative and collective roles of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle during systemic C. albicans infection. These studies revealed an unappreciated and profound role for CLR co-operation in anti-fungal immunity. The protective effect of multiple CLRs was markedly greater than any single receptor, and was mediated through inflammatory monocytes via recognition and phagocytosis of C. albicans, and production of C. albicans-induced cytokines and chemokines. These CLRs were dispensable for mediating similar responses from neutrophils, likely due to lower expression of these CLRs on neutrophils compared to inflammatory monocytes. Concurrent deletion of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, or all three CLRs, resulted in dramatically increased susceptibility to systemic C. albicans infection compared to mice lacking a single CLR. Multi-CLR KO mice were unable to control fungal growth due to an inadequate early inflammatory monocyte-mediated response. In response to excessive fungal growth, the multi-CLR KO mice mounted a hyper-inflammatory response, likely leading to multiple organ failure. Thus, these data reveal a critical role for CLR co-operation in the effective control of C. albicans and maintenance of organ function during infection.

Transcription profiling of mouse MyD88-deficient bone marrow-derived macrophages treated with Zymosan

Project description:Innate immune pattern recognition receptors play critical roles in pathogen detection and initiation of antimicrobial responses. We and others have previously demonstrated the importance of the beta-glucan receptor Dectin-1 in the recognition of pathogenic fungi by macrophages and dendritic cells, and have elucidated some of the mechanisms by which Dectin-1 signals to coordinate the antifungal response. While Dectin-1 signals alone are sufficient to trigger phagocytosis and Src-Syk-mediated induction of antimicrobial reactive oxygen species, collaboration with Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 signaling enhances NF-kB activation and regulates cytokine production. In this study we demonstrate that Dectin-1 signaling can also directly modulate gene expression via activation of nuclear transcription of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription factors. Dectin-1 ligation by zymosan particles or live Candida albicans yeast triggers NFAT activation in macrophages and dendritic cells. Dectin-1-triggered NFAT activation plays a role in the induction of Egr2 and Egr3 transcription factors, and cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2). Furthermore, we show that NFAT activation regulates IL-2, IL-10 and IL-12 p70 production by zymosan-stimulated dendritic cells. These data establish NFAT activation in myeloid cells as a novel mechanism of regulation of the innate antimicrobial response. Experiment Overall Design: Bone marrow-derived macrophages deficient in MyD88 were stimulated with zymosan, and total RNA was extracted 120 minutes after stimulation for comparison to macrophages grown under the same conditions, but not stimulated.

Gene expression of murine DCs from bone marrow and spleen

Project description:Next to driving hematopoiesis, the bone marrow (BM) also serves as a secondary lymphoid organ, as it can drive T cell priming by resident dendritic cells (DC). When analyzing these DCs in murine BM, we uncovered that they are localized around sinusoids, can (cross)-present antigens, become activated upon intravenous LPS-injection, and for the majority belong to the cDC2 subtype which is associated with Th2/Th17 immunity. Gene-expression profiling revealed that BM-resident DCs are enriched for several c-type lectins, including Dectin-1, which can bind beta-glucans expressed on fungi and yeast. Indeed, DCs in BM were much more efficient in phagocytosis of both yeast-derived zymosan-particles and Aspergillus than their splenic counterparts, which was highly dependent on Dectin-1. DCs in human BM could also phagocytose zymosan, which was dependent on β1-integrins. Moreover, zymosan-stimulated BM-resident DCs enhanced the differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells towards neutrophils, while also boosting the maintenance of these progenitors. Our findings signify an important role for BM DCs as translators between infection and hematopoiesis, in particular in anti-fungal immunity. The ability of BM-resident DCs to boost granulopoiesis is relevant from a clinical perspective, and contributes to our understanding of the increased susceptibility for fungal infections following BM damage.

Synergism between curdlan and GM-CSF in mouse dendritic cells

Project description:A simultaneous engagement of different pathogen recognition receptors provides a tailor made adaptive immunity for an efficient defence against distinct pathogens. For example, cross talk of TLR and c-type lectin signalling effectively shapes distinct gene expression patterns by integrating the signals at the level of NF-κB. Here, we extend this principle to a strong synergism between the Dectin-1 agonist, curdlan, and an inflammatory growth factor, GM-CSF. Both together act in synergy in inducing a strong inflammatory signature which converts immature DCs to potent effector DCs. A variety of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-12p70), costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86, CD40 and CD70), chemokines (CxCl1, CxCl2, CxCl3, CCl12, CCl17) as well as receptors and molecules involved in fugal recognition and immunity such as Mincle, Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Pentraxin 3 are strongly up-regulated in DC treated simultaneously with curdlan and GM-CSF. The synergistic effect of both stimuli resulted in strong IKBα phosphorylation, in its rapid degradation and in enhanced nuclear translocation of all NF-κB subunits. We further identified MAPK ERK, as one possible integration site of both signals, since its phosphorylation was clearly augmented when curdlan was co-applied with GM-CSF. Our data demonstrate that the immunomodulatory activity of curdlan requires an additional signal provided by GM-CSF to successfully initiate a robust β-glucan specific cytokine and chemokine response. The integration of both signals clearly prime and tailor a more effective innate and adaptive response against invading microbes and fungi. CD11b+ fraction of FLT3L generated BM DCs (3-4 x106) were stimulated for 4 hours with 100 or 1 μg/ml curdlan in presence or absence of 5 ng/ml GM-CSF in triplicates.

BLNK negatively regulates C-type lectin receptor-mediated antifungal immunity through inhibiting macrophage migration

Project description:B cell linker protein (BLNK) is a pivotal adaptor protein that interfaces the B cell receptor (BCR)-associated spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) to regulate B cell function and development. However, it is still not well understood whether BLNK is involved in Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptor (CLR) signaling in myeloid cells, particularly in the context of antifungal immunity. Here, we show that stimulation with fungi-derived β-glucans or α-mannans induced the phosphorylation of BLNK in macrophages, which was significantly impaired due to the deficiency of CLRs including Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, as well as their downstream mediators Syk and Fc-receptor gamma-chain (FcRγ). Furthermore, BLNK is induced to be interacted with casitas B-lineage lymphoma (c-Cbl), which is completely dependent on the engagement of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2. Notably, BLNK deficiency facilitates CLR-mediated recruitment of c-Cbl/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) complex to F-actin cytoskeleton, thereby promoting macrophage migration. Consequently, mice with monocyte-specific deficiency of BLNK are highly resistant to the infection with Candida albicans, a major human fungal pathogen, through increasing the infiltration of Ly6C+macrophages into kidneys. Together, our data indicate that BLNK functions downstream of Syk-coupled CLRs to negatively regulate antifungal immunity against C. albicans infection. These findings unravel a previously unidentified role of BLNK that negatively regulates macrophage migration through inhibiting CLR-mediated recruitment of c-Cbl/PI3K complex to the cytoskeleton.
