Effect of the Idd2 locus of B10 origin on the transcriptome of B cell of NOD mice

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by pancreatic beta-cell destruction. It is a complex genetic trait driven by over 30 genetic loci with parallels between humans and mice. The NOD mouse spontaneously develops autoimmune diabetes and is widely used to identify insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) genetic loci linked to diabetes susceptibility. While many Idd loci have been extensively studied, the impact of the Idd2 locus on autoimmune diabetes susceptibility remains to be defined. To address this, we generated a NOD congenic mouse bearing B10 resistance alleles on chromosome 9 in a locus coinciding with part of the Idd2 locus and find that NOD.B10-Idd2 congenic mice are highly resistant to diabetes. Bone marrow chimera and adoptive transfer experiments show that the B10 protective alleles provide resistance in an immune cell-intrinsic manner. While no T cell-intrinsic differences between NOD and NOD.B10-Idd2 mice were observed, we find that the Idd2 resistance alleles limit the formation of spontaneous and induced germinal centers. Comparison of the B cell transcriptome profile from NOD and NOD.B10-Idd2 mice reveal that resistance alleles at the Idd2 locus affect the expression of specific MHC molecules, a result confirmed by flow cytometry. Altogether, these data demonstrate that resistance alleles at the Idd2 locus impair germinal center formation and influence MHC expression, both of which likely contribute to reduce diabetes incidence.

Project description:We used high density oligonucleotide arrays to measure the relative expression levels of >39,000 genes and ESTs in the NOD mouse (a murine model of T1D and other autoimmune conditions), four NOD-derived diabetes resistant congenic strains and two nondiabetic control strains. Owing to the importance of T cells in the development of T1D we decided to target two organs, the spleen and thymus. We profiled gene expression in thymi from four week old female mice and spleens from three month old female mice. For each of the 14 strain-tissue combinations (7 strains x 2 tissues) we performed two independent replicate experiments, making the total number of hybridizations performed 28. In each case, an RNA population from a pool of two or three organs was generated to minimize the chances of within strain variation masking genuine variation between the strains. To minimize any variation introduced during target preparation, all samples within a given replicate group were processed in parallel. Three samples from group two (spleen: B10.H2g7_S2 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=gsm594 (GSM594); thymus: B10.H2g7_T2 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=gsm608 (GSM608), B10.H2g7 Idd3_T2 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=gsm609 (GSM609)) and one from group one (spleen B10.H2g7_S1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=gsm587 (GSM587) failed a preliminary quality control check. Consequently, the steps involved in preparing labelled cRNA from the initial starting material had to be repeated for these four samples at a later date. A subsequent comparison of the variation seen between samples within the same replicate group (samples processed in parallel) versus samples in distinct replicate groups (samples processed at different times) revealed that the variation between the two groups (i.e. owing to independent sample preparation) was higher than the small amount of variation between the closely matched strains. Ignoring the variability introduced during sample preparation was therefore likely to result in spurious changes being detected and genuine strain-specific differences in gene expression being masked. Consequently, we decided to exclude the four samples that had had to be prepared independently owing to failing initial quality control. Keywords = NOD, diabetes, congenic Keywords: other
