Single-cell Transcriptional Analysis Reveals Allergen-specific Signatures in Human γδT Cells

ABSTRACT: The role of gamma-delta T (γδT) cells in immune responses to common allergens is poorly understood. Here, we utilized single-cell (sc) transcriptomic analysis of allergen-reactive γδT cells in humans to characterize the transcriptional landscapes and TCR repertoires in response to cockroach (CR) and mouse (MO) allergens. Using a novel Activation-Induced Marker (AIM) assay that allows detection of γδT cells combined with scRNA sequencing and TCR repertoire analysis, we identified both shared and allergen-specific γδT cell activation patterns and gene expression profiles. While CR extract activated both Vδ1 and Vδ2 subsets, MO extract primarily stimulated Vδ2 cells. Our analysis revealed allergen-specific clusters with distinct functional signatures, including enhanced inflammatory responses and cytotoxic effector functions in MO-specific γδT cells and natural killer cell-mediated immunity and IFNγ signaling in CR-specific populations. Comparison of allergic and non-allergic individuals highlighted differences in gene expression and TCR repertoires, including a higher IFNG expression in the CR-allergic compared to non-allergic cohorts, suggesting that phenotypic and functional differences are associated with γδT allergen responses. This study provides insights into the cellular and molecular heterogeneity and functionality of allergen-reactive γδT cells, offering a foundation for understanding their role in allergic diseases and potential therapeutic interventions.

A T cell-IL-3 axis controls the responsiveness of sensory neurons to allergens

Project description:In naïve individuals, sensory neurons directly detect and respond to allergens, leading both to the sensation of itch and the activation of local innate immune cells, which initiate the allergic immune response1,2. In the setting of chronic allergic inflammation, immune factors prime sensory neurons, causing pathologic itch3-7. While these bidirectional neuroimmune circuits drive responses to allergens, whether immune cells regulate the set-point for neuronal activation by allergens in the naïve state is unknown. Here we describe a T cell-IL-3 signaling axis that controls the allergen responsiveness of cutaneous sensory neurons. We define a poorly characterized epidermal T cell subset8, termed GD3 cells, that produces its hallmark cytokine IL-3 to promote allergic itch and the initiation of the allergic immune response. Mechanistically, IL-3 acts on Il3ra-expressing sensory neurons in a JAK2-dependent manner to lower their threshold for allergen activation without independently eliciting itch. This T cell-IL-3 signaling axis further acts via STAT5 to promote neuropeptide production and the initiation of allergic immunity. These results reveal an endogenous immune rheostat that sits upstream of and governs sensory neuronal responses to allergens upon first exposure. This pathway may explain individual differences in allergic susceptibility and opens novel therapeutic avenues for treating allergic diseases.

Chemical allergen-induced perturbations of the mouse lymph node DNA methylome

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of gene expression plays a pivotal role in the orchestration of immune responses and may determine the vigor, quality, or longevity of such responses. Chemical allergens can be divided into two categories: skin sensitizing chemicals associated with allergic contact dermatitis, and chemicals that cause sensitization of the respiratory tract and occupational asthma. In mice these are characterized by different T helper (Th) cell responses. To explore the regulation and maintenance of these divergent responses, mice were exposed to 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB; a contact allergen) or trimellitic anhydride (TMA; a respiratory allergen). DNA from draining lymph nodes was processed for methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) followed by hybridization to a whole-genome DNA promoter array. 6319 differently methylated regions (DMR) were identified following DNCB treatment, while 2178 DMRs were measured following TMA treatment, with approximately half of the TMA DMR common to DNCB. When limited to promoter region-associated DMR, 637 genes were uniquely associated with DNCB induced DMR but only 164 genes were unique to TMA DMR. Promoter-associated DMR unique to either DNCB or TMA were generally hypomethylated whereas DMR common to both allergens tended to be hypermethylated. Pathway analyses highlighted a number of immune related pathways, including chemokine and cytokine signalling. These data demonstrate that chemical allergen exposure results in characteristic patterns of DNA methylation indicative of epigenetic regulation of the allergic response. Comparison of methylation profiles from allergens 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB; a contact allergen) and trimellitic anhydride (TMA; a respiratory allergen) or vehicle acetone:olive oil (AOO).

Allergen detection in commercial foods

Project description:The frequent use of precautionary food allergen labeling statements such as “may contain” poses challenges to allergic individuals relying on such labeling to determine whether a food is safe to consume. To survey the frequency at which these precautionary statements indicate allergen contamination in commercial foods we developed a multiplexed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry assay targeting 14 common allergens. For each allergen, we selected two or more tryptic peptides belonging to two or more clinically-recognized allergenic proteins by following one of two approaches. For certain allergenic proteins, a wealth of existing mass spectrometry literature suggests ideal tryptic peptide targets. In these cases, such for milk proteins Bos d 5 and Bos d 9, as well as peanut protein Ara h 3, we chose peptides using the Allergen Peptide Browser (APB), a freely available online database we developed. To choose peptides for the remaining allergenic proteins, as well as validate our choices, we applied shotgun proteomics to pure allergen protein extracts of the aforementioned allergens.

Expression data from naive, effector and memory-like ILC2s isolated from mouse lungs and those from effector and memory-like ILC2s isolated from mediastinal lymph node

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lung are stimulated by inhaled allergens. ILC2s do not directly recognize allergens but they are stimulated by cytokines including interleukin (IL)-33 released by damaged epithelium.Lung ILC2s, upon stimulation, produce T helper 2 cell-type cytokines inducing T cell independent allergic lung inflammation. We now report that lung ILC2s, upon activation by an allergen or IL-33, acquire the properties of memory cells. The activated ILC2s initially proliferate and secrete cytokines, followed by a contraction phase as they stop producing cytokines. Nevertheless, some persist long after the resolution of the inflammation and acquire intrinsic capacities to react to unrelated allergens more vigorously than naÃ¯ve ILC2s, thus mediating a severe allergic lung inflammation. Gene expression profiles of the previously activated ILC2s show a gene signature of memory T cells. These antigen non-specific memory ILC2s may explain why asthma patients are often sensitized to multiple allergens. ILC2s were isolated from mouse lungs from naive and IL-33 injected mice 4 days, 14 days and 4 months after the initial treatment. RNA was extracted from those ILC2 populations and analyzed for gene expression profiles. RNA was also extracted from ILC2s isolated from lung draining mediastinal lymph node (mLN) 4 days and 14 days after IL-33 treatment.

Project description:Allergen exposure was thought to play a critical role in the etiology of AR. And allergen avoidance, the practice of avoiding exposure to allergens, has been generally advised as the management of AR. However, the effect is uncertain and the underlying mechanism is far from known. We used gene expression microarrays to identify genes differentially regulated by allergen avoidance in allergic rhinitis mouse model. Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays were used to identify the expression profiling of nasal mucosa in three groups of mice: (1) mice sensitized and challenged with saline (control group); (2) mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and sacrificed 2 hours after the last challenge (OVA group); (3) mice sensitized and challenged with OVA and sacrificed 4 weeks after the last challenge (4w-after group).

Human plasma proteome changes during inhaled allergen challenge

Project description:Inhaled allergen challenge of subjects with allergic asthma allows the study of mechanisms involved in allergen-induced airway inflammation. The objective of this study was to identify changes in the plasma proteome associated with a late phase response (LPR) causing airway obstruction occurring 4-8 hours after the initial early response. Serial plasma samples from asthmatics undergoing inhaled allergen challenge were analyzed. Mass spectrometry data was analyzed using a linear regression to model the relationship between the degree of airway obstruction during the LPR and plasma proteome changes evoked by the inhaled allergen challenge. Inhaled allergen challenge induced changes in the plasma proteome including upregulation of the protease inhibitors alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and plasma serine protease inhibitor. Out of 396 quantified proteins, 150 showed a statistically significant change 23 hours post allergen challenge. Further proteomic changes were associated with the LPR, including altered levels of coagulation factors such as an increased factor XII A and a decreased von Willebrand factor. Allergic reactions to inhaled allergens in asthmatic subjects was associated with changes in a large proportion of the measured plasma proteome, whereof protease inhibitors show the largest changes, likely to influence the inflammatory response. Of several other proteins altered in relation to the LPR, many are associated with coagulation.

Allergens Elicit an Antiviral Signature in Dendritic Cells

Project description:This study compares the transcriptomic changes induced by three distinct aeroallergens in a dendritic cell line with the goal of finding similarities in the response at the gene expression level. Using RNA sequencing of DC2.4 cells, we find that house dust mite, cat hair and timothy grass allergen extracts all induce what appears to be an antiviral genetic signature despite the lack of any viral components in each allergen. Such information may be useful in trying to design therapeutics or interventions for allergic responses which could be effective for multiple allergens despite differences in source and structure.
