Ad vectors in C3KO mice

ABSTRACT: Replication-deficient adenovirus (Ad) type 5 capsids induce potent host innate immune responses. One system pivotal in host innate immune defense is the complement system. Intriguingly, excessive or inappropriate complement activation can result in extreme tissue damage and systemic inflammatory responses similar to those noted immediately after high dose systemic Ad vector injections. To determine if the complement system has a significant role in intensifying Ad-associated acute toxicities, we compared complement deficient (C3-knockout (KO)) mice responses to those of wild type (WT) mice following systemic challenge with Ad vectors. We noted not only thrombocytopenia and rapid increases in plasma IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-12 levels previously reported after high dose Ad injections into WT mice, but also induction of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10, G-CSF and GM-CSF, and chemokines KC (CXCL1) and MIP-1. This expanded innate response “profile” was significantly blunted in Ad injected C3-KO mice, with a near complete avoidance of thrombocytopenia. Further validation for complement’s critical role in perturbing these innate responses against Ad were noted after comparison of gene specific RNA transcription levels in C3-KO to WT mice livers. Finally, these disparities were not attributed to a diminished ability of the Ad vectors to transduce C3-KO mice hepatocytes. These results suggest that Ad capsid interaction with the mammalian complement system may exacerbate the toxicity of systemic Ad injections, and thus represents a future target for manipulation in efforts to improve the efficacy and safety profile of Ad mediated gene delivery.

Project description:Objective: A multi-center study of recent onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) subjects prior to treatment with DMARDS or biologics was undertaken to identify peripheral blood gene expression differences between JIA subclasses and controls. Methods: PBMC from 59 healthy children and 136 JIA subjects (28 enthesitis-related arthritis[ERA], 42 persistent oligoarthritis, 45 RF- polyarthritis, and 21 systemic) were isolated on Ficoll. Poly-A RNA was labeled using NuGEN Ovation and gene expression profiles were obtained using Affymetrix HG-U133 plus 2.0 Arrays. Results: 9,501 differentially expressed probe sets were identified among JIA subtypes and controls (ANOVA, FDR 5%). Specifically, 193, 1036, 873 and 7595 probe sets were different between controls and ERA, persistent oligoarthritis, RF- polyarthritis and systemic JIA samples respectively. In persistent oligoarthritis, RF- polyarthritis and systemic JIA subtypes, up-regulation of gene associated with IL-10 signaling was prominent. A hemoglobin cluster was identified that was under-expressed in ERA patients but over-expressed in systemic JIA. The influence of JAK/STAT, ERK/MAPK, IL-2 and B cell receptor signaling pathways was evident in persistent oligoarthritis. In systemic JIA, up regulation of innate immune pathways, including IL-6, TLR/IL1R, and PPAR signaling were noted, along with down regulation of gene networks related to NK and T cells. Complement and coagulation pathways were up-regulated in systemic JIA with a subset of these components differentially-expressed in the other three subtypes. Conclusions: Expression analysis identified differentially expressed genes in PBMCs between subclasses of JIA early in disease and controls, thus providing evidence for immunobiologic differences between these forms of childhood arthritis.

Project description:Systemic inflammation like in sepsis is still lacking specific diagnostic markers and effective therapeutics. The first line of defense against intruding pathogens and endogenous damage signals is pattern recognition by e.g., complement and Toll-like receptors (TLR). Combined inhibition of a key complement component (C3 and C5) and TLR-co-receptor CD14 has been shown to attenuate certain systemic inflammatory responses. Using DNA microarray and gene annotation analyses, we aimed to decipher the effect of combined inhibition of C3 and CD14 on the transcriptional response to bacterial challenge in human whole blood. Importantly, combined inhibition reversed the transcriptional changes of 70% of the 2335 genes which significantly responded to heat-inactivated Escherichia coli by on average 80%. Single inhibition was less efficient (p<0.001) but revealed a suppressive effect of C3 on 21% of the responding genes which was partially counteracted by CD14. Furthermore, CD14 dependency of the Escherichia coli-induced response was increased in C5-deficient compared to C5-sufficient blood. The observed crucial distinct and synergistic roles for complement and CD14 on the transcriptional level correspond to their broad impact on the inflammatory response in human blood, and their combined inhibition may become inevitable in the early treatment of acute systemic inflammation. A microarray study was performed on whole blood from two healthy donors, a C5-deficient patient (C5D) (with and without C5-reconstitution) incubated for 120 min at 37oC with (i) PBS, (ii) E. coli or (iii) E. coli and inhibitors of complement (C3 or C5aR) and/or CD14 or inhibitor controls. The experiments were performed as biological replicates on two different days (healthy donor and C5D). Due to lack of a second C5-deficient patient, microarray analyses were prerformed twice (technical replicate) for C5D and day 1. Expression data in presence of PBS were used as reference for those in pressence of E. coli. Expression data in presence of E. coli were used as reference for those in pressence of E. coli and inhibitors. Expression data from 0 min incubation with PBS represent the initial state (T0). Whole blood was lysed in Applied Biosystems AB6100 total RNA chemistry lysis buffer and stored at -80oC prior to RNA extraction.

Project description:Fish respond to stressors by means of an array of changes that involve many biological compartments including molecular, cellular, metabolic, physiological and behavioral acclimation. Among these changes, the immune system also experiences significant alterations that are characterized by an induction of the innate non-specific responses and changes in the acquired specific response. The present investigation was undertaken to check whether the innate response of the complement system is affected after a combination of an immune challenge and a husbandry stressor. In European seabass, two different transcripts of the complement C3 protein, which correspond to two tissue-specific isoforms, have been detected in liver. They may come from post-transcriptional modifications at the pre-mRNA level or from alternative splicing in order to generate a diversified repertoire of protein isoforms in some fish species according to the tissue were they are located. After cloning the hepatic C3, the quantification of seabass isoforms showed specific responses, thus confirming the possible specialized roles of the C3 different isoforms in terms of defence immunity. On one hand, a stronger esbC3_2 expression was observed in front to the viral challenge, suggesting a specific participation of this molecule in front to viruses. This observation is in agreement with previous studies in trout macrophages in our lab, demonstrating that the immune response to viral infections was stronger than to bacterial ones. On the other hand, the esbC3_1 expression appeared stronger after bacterial challenge, especially under high density conditions. Our results confirm the hypothesis of an immune-activation of specific isoforms of the C3 protein of the complement system as a non-specific response in front to either immune or other type of stressors. In order to confirm our hypothesis, we created an oligonucleotide microarray (Agilent Technologies) containing 6275 annotated transcripts, each with x3 specific probes, and 4516 ESTs with 1 probe/target sequence. Gene expression profiles obtained from the livers of fish held under high density culture conditions highlighted a significant contrast in the liver response. In total, 54 transcripts were differentially expressed (GDE; fold change FC >2) in treatment over the control (p<0.01)/201 (p<0.05). Oligonucleotide probes were used to construct a high-density seabass microarray based on the Agilent 4 × 44 K design format (http://www.agilent.com/), which covers 13,199 unique transcripts of Dicentrarchus labrax. Oligonucleotides, 60-mer plus a “linker”, are synthesized directly on glass slides using the Agilent’s SurePrint Tecnology; oligo design was carried out by Agilent and three or more non-overlapping probes were designed for each EST cluster. The number of transcripts represented by three is 6,275, while 6,924 targets EST have only one probe.
