Project description:We previously identified Tbc1d23 as a candidate novel regulator of innate immunity using comparative genomics RNAi screens in C. elegans and mouse macrophages. Using mice with an engineered knockout mutation in Tbc1d23 and macrophages engineered to overexpress Tbc1d23, we now show that Tbc1d23 is a general but not universal inhibitor of the innate immune response, inhibiting multiple Toll-like receptor (TLR) and Dectin signaling pathways but not NOD signaling pathways. Tbc1d23 likely acts downstream of the TLR signaling adaptors MyD88 and Trif and upstream of the transcription factor XBP1. Importantly, like XBP1, Tbc1d23 affects the maintenance but not initiation of inflammatory cytokine production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The identification of a novel temporal regulator of innate immunity signaling validates the comparative genomics approach for innate immunity gene discovery. Total of 24 samples; Tbc1d23-overexpressing line and control line; 0, 1, 3, and 5 hour LPS treatment; 3 biological replicates per group

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.

Project description:Fungal infections claim an estimated 1.5 million lives every year. Mechanisms that protect from fungal infections are still elusive. Recognition of fungal pathogens relies on C-type lectin receptors (CLR) and their downstream signaling kinase SYK. Here we report that the E3-ubiquitin-ligase CBL-B controls proximal C-type lectin receptor signaling in macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that CBL-B associates with SYK and ubiquitinates SYK, Dectin-1, and Dectin-2 upon fungal recognition. Functionally, CBL-B deficiency results in increased inflammasome activation, enhanced reactive oxygen species production, and increased fungal killing. Genetic deletion of Cblb protects mice from morbidity caused by cutaneous infection and markedly improves survival upon a lethal systemic infection with Candida albicans. Based on these findings, we engineered a cell-permeable CBL-B inhibitory peptide that protects mice from lethal C. albicans infections. We thus describe a key role for Cblb in the regulation of innate anti-fungal immunity and establish a novel paradigm for the treatment of fungal sepsis.

Project description:Cells of the innate immune system retain memory of prior exposures through a process known as innate immune training. b-glucan, a Dectin-1 ligand purified from the Candida albicans cell wall, has been one of the most widely utilized and well-characterized ligands for inducing innate immune memory. However, many Dectin-1 agonists exist, and it is not known whether all Dectin-1 ligands produce the same phenotype. Using a well-established in vitro model of trained immunity, we compared two commercially available Dectin-1 agonists with the gold standard b-glucan represented in the literature. We found that depleted zymosan, a b-glucan purified from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall through alkali treatment, produced near identical training effects as C. albicans b-glucan. However, untreated zymosan produced a distinct training effect from b-glucans at both the transcript and cytokine level. Training with zymosan diminished, rather than potentiated, induction of key cytokines such as TNF, IL-12, and IL-6. Zymosan activated NFkB and AP-1 transcription factors more strongly than b-glucans. The addition of the toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand Pam3CSK4 was sufficient to convert the training effect of b-glucans to a phenotype resembling training with zymosan. We conclude that differential activation of TLR signaling pathways determines the phenotype of innate immune training induced by Dectin-1. These findings bring clarity to the specific question of which Dectin-1 agonists produce prototypical training effects and provides broader insight into how signaling networks regulate innate immune training at large.

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) were initially considered as critical for innate immunity to viruses. However, our group has shown that pDCs bind to and inhibit the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus hyphae and that depletion of pDCs renders mice hypersusceptible to experimental aspergillosis. In this study, we examined pDC receptors responsible for hyphal recognition and downstream events in pDCs stimulated by A. fumigatus hyphae. Our data show that Dectin-2 but not Dectin-1 participates in hyphal recognition by pDCs and that Dectin-2 acts in cooperation with the FcRγ chain to trigger signaling responses. In addition, using confocal and electron microscopy we demonstrated that the interaction between pDCs and A. fumigatus induced the formation of pDC extracellular traps (pETs) containing DNA and citrullinated histone H3. Thus, these structures closely resembled those of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Microarray analysis of the pDC transcriptome upon A. fumigatus infection demonstrated up-regulated expression of genes previously associated with viral infections or apoptosis. Moreover, the abundant expression of type I Interferon-encoding genes seen in CpG-stimulated pDCs was absent in the pDCs infected with A. fumigatus hyphae. Thus, human pDCs directly recognize A. fumigatus hyphae via Dectin-2. This interaction leads to formation of pET and triggers a distinct pattern of pDC gene expression. The spectrum of changes in gene expression was examined in pDCs from 3 blood donors, 2 and 4h following incubation with hyphae. Comparative controls included unstimulated and CpG-stimulated pDCs.

Project description:Macrophages provide an interface between innate and adaptive immunity and are important long-lived reservoirs for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 (HIV-1). Multiple genetic networks involved in regulating signal transduction cascades and immune responses in macrophages are coordinately modulated by HIV-1 infection. To evaluate complex interrelated processes and to assemble an integrated view of activated signaling networks, a systems biology strategy was applied to genomic and proteomic responses by primary human macrophages over the course of HIV-1 infection. Macrophage responses, including cell cycle, calcium, apoptosis, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and cytokines/chemokines, to HIV-1 were temporally regulated, in the absence of cell proliferation. In contrast, Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways remained unaltered by HIV-1, although TLRs 3, 4, 7, and 8 were expressed and responded to ligand stimulation in macrophages. HIV-1 failed to activate phosphorylation of IRAK-1 or IRF-3, modulate intracellular protein levels of Mx1, an interferon-stimulated gene, or stimulate secretion of TNF, IL-1b, or IL-6. Activation of pathways other than TLR was inadequate to stimulate, via cross-talk mechanisms through molecular hubs, the production of proinflammatory cytokines typical of a TLR response. HIV-1 sensitized macrophage responses to TLR ligands, and the magnitude of viral priming was related to virus replication. HIV-1 induced a primed, proinflammatory state, M1HIV, which increased the responsiveness of macrophages to TLR ligands. HIV-1 might passively evade pattern recognition, actively inhibit or suppress recognition and signaling, or require dynamic interactions between macrophages and other cells, such as lymphocytes or endothelial cells. HIV-1 evasion of TLR recognition and simultaneous priming of macrophages may represent a strategy for viral survival, contribute to immune pathogenesis, and provide important targets for therapeutic approaches. Affymetrix arrays were used to identify genomic macrophage response to HIV during viral spread in culture. Experiment Overall Design: An HIV-1 spreading infection was established in primary human macrophages. RNA was extracted from both viral- and mock-infected macrophages cultures over 7 days and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U95Av2 GeneChips for analysis.

Project description:Despite much progress, the specific role of some the putative intracellular signaling players upstream to inflammatory gene expression activated by Toll-like receptor (TLRs) in the immune response remains unknown. For instance, the TLR-inducible Ras guanine exchange factor member 1b (RasGEF1b) was previously shown to be expressed in activated macrophages, but its specific function is still obscure. To investigate the role of RasGEF1b in TLR-mediated innate immune response, we generated Rasgef1bfl/fl mice for tissue conditional gene deletion . We found that the expression and production of the neutrophil chemoattractant chemokine KC/Cxcl1 was impaired in response to TLRs stimulation of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) devoid of RasGEF1b. The production of KC/Cxcl1 was also impaired in in vivo models of LPS-induced peritonitis, and R848-induced acute lung injury inflammation. RasGEF1b was not required or sufficient to neither induce nor increase the transcriptional activation of Cxcl1 promoter. In addition, TLR-triggered inflammatory activation of NF-ΚB signaling pathway was unimpaired in macrophages lacking RasGEF1b suggesting a mechanism independent of the NF-B transcription factor. Our data presented herein revealed an important role of RasGEF1b in innate immunity by regulating gene expression, following TLR stimulation.

Project description:We previously found that the SF3A mRNA splicing complex was required for a robust innate immune response; SF3A acts in part by inhibiting the production of a negatively acting splice form of the TLR signaling adaptor MyD88. Here we inhibit SF3A1 using RNAi and subsequently perform an RNAseq study to identify the full complement of genes and splicing events regulated by SF3A in murine macrophages. Surprisingly, SF3A has substantial specificity for mRNA splicing events in innate immune signaling pathways compared to other pathways, affecting the splicing of many genes in the TLR signaling pathway to modulate the innate immune response. RNAseq was used to monitor the effects of SF3A1 siRNA-mediated knockdown in murine macrophages. Three biological replicates were used for each of the four treatment combinations (with/without siRNA, with/without LPS). The first replicates for each combination were each sequenced in two runs, which were combined in the analysis.
