Project description:Graves’ disease is characterized by goiter, palpitation and exophthalmos (Merseburg’s trias). However, a few patients develop exophthalmos even though their thyroid function is normal, a condition known as euthyroid Graves’ disease (EGD). It remains unknown why these patients remain euthyroid, even though they have potent thyroid-stimulating antibody (TSAb). To investigate whether the immunoglobulins (IgGs) obtained from EGD patients elicit thyroid hormone-releasing activity (THRA), thyroid follicles obtained from Graves’ patients were cultured in agarose-coated culture dishes, and 125I incorporated into the thyroid follicles and organic 125I (mainly de novo-synthesized 125I-T3+125I-T4) released into the culture medium by TSH or purified IgGs were determined as thyroid hormone-releasing activity (THRA). This thyroid follicle culture system allows maintenance of the Wolff-Chaikoff effect, and the expression of mRNA for the sodium-iodide symporter is decreased by high concentrations of iodide (10-6-10-4M) and therapeutic concentrations of amiodarone (1-2microM). hTSH elicited THRA most efficiently at 0.4-10 microU/ml, suggesting that thyroid function is controlled within the normal range of TSH concentration (0.4-4.0 microU/ml). All IgGs obtained from hyperthyroid Graves’ patients elicited THRA equivalent to more than 4.6 microU/ml hTSH. IgGs obtained from EGD patients also had potent THRA, whereas IgGs obtained from normal subjects and Graves’ patients in complete remission had no significant THRA. When thyroid follicles from Graves’ thyroid, into which a number of lymphocytes had infiltrated, were used, only slight THRA was elicited by bTSH or Graves’ IgGs, probably due to inflammatory cytokines produced by immunocompetent cells that could not be separated during gentle centrifugation. Indeed, when thyroid follicles were cultured with autologous intrathyroidal lymphocytes, interleukin-2 completely abolished TSH-induced THRA. When thyroid follicles were cultured with inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, tumor-necrosis factor-alpha, or interferon-gamma), each cytokine inhibited TSH-induced THRA in a concentration-dependent manner. These cytokines at lower concentrations synergistically and completely inhibited TSH-induced THRA. Microarray analyses of thyroid follicles cultured with IL-1alpha, TNF-alpha, or INF-gamma revealed decreased expression of mRNAs for TSHR, NIS, TPO and thyroglobulin, accompanied by increased expression of mRNAs for chemokines and cytokines. These findings suggest that IgGs obtained from patients with EGD have potent THRA in vitro, whereas in vivo, these IgGs are unable to elicit biological activity in the thyroid gland. Presumably, immunocompetent cells that infiltrate the thyroid gland produce inflammatory cytokines that synergistically inhibit thyroid function. Since a similar phenomenon may occur in the retroorbital tissues, these patients may develop exophthalmos despite having a normal serum level of TSH.

Project description:Tonsil organoid cultures were prepared from one donor and stimulated with live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) or left unstimulated. Cells were harvested on the days described below, total T and B cells were sorted, and cells were sequenced using the BD Rhapsody platform with a targeted set of immune-related genes, BCR, and TCR repertoire analysis.

Project description:4 groups of mice : Control, antibiotics, antibiotics + 4days of recolonization, antibiotics + 4days of recolonization + Enterocloster clostridioformis. Tumor draining lymph node were harvested after CFSE injection were harvested and CFSE+ cells were sorted and proccessed in order to generate single cell RNA-sequencing using BD Rhapsody mouse immune response targeted panel. Groups were barcoded using BD Rhapsody Multiplexing Kit.

Project description:Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a complex eye and orbital disorder that is uniquely linked to Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GH). A popular explanation for the development of orbital inflammation in these patients is autoimmunity against the TSH-receptor expressed in orbital preadipocytes. However, this has not been proven and alternative hypotheses should be entertained. We have shown recently that antibodies against highly purified rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin are sensitive and specific markers of eye muscle inflammation in patients with thyroid autoimmunity. Keywords: disease state comparison In the study presented here, RNA from thyroid tissue of hyperthyroid patients with (n=10) and without (n=8) symptoms of ophthalmopathy was compared across 20,589 genes.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics has emerged as the preferred tool to define cell identity through the analysis of gene expression signatures. However, there are limited studies that have comprehensively compared the performance of different scRNAseq systems in complex tissues. Here, we present a systematic comparison of three well-established high throughput 3’-scRNAseq platforms: Drop-seq, 10x Chromium and BD Rhapsody; using tumours that present high cell diversity. Our experimental design includes both fresh and artificially damaged samples from the same tumours, which also provides a comparable dataset to examine their performance under challenging conditions. The performance metrics used in this study consist of gene sensitivity, mitochondrial content, reproducibility, clustering capabilities, cell type representation and ambient RNA contamination. These analyses showed that BD Rhapsody and 10x Chromium have similar but higher gene sensitivity than Drop-seq, while BD Rhapsody has the highest mitochondrial content. Interestingly, we found cell type detection biases between platforms, including a lower proportion of endothelial and myofibroblast cells in BD Rhapsody and lower gene sensitivity in granulocytes for 10x Chromium. Moreover, the source of the ambient noise was different between plate-based and droplet-based platforms. In conclusion, our reported platform differential performance should be considered for the selection of the scRNAseq method during the study experimental designs.
