Project description:The role of CD1-restricted, lipid-specific T cells in vivo remains to be elucidated. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression accompanied by the activation of CD1-restricted, lipid-specific T cells. Monkeys were immunized with BCG bacteria to evoke CD1-restricted, mycolyl glycolipid-specific T cell responses at high frequency. The PBMCs were stimulated in the presense or absense of mycolyl glycolipid antigen, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection elicits both protein and lipid antigen-specific T cell responses. However, the incorporation of lipid antigens into subunit vaccine strategies and formulations has been underexplored, and the properties of vaccine-induced Mtb lipid-specific memory T cells remained elusive. Mycolic acid (MA), a major lipid component of the Mtb cell wall, is presented by human CD1b molecules to T cells. MA-specific CD1b-restricted T cells have been detected in the blood and disease sites of Mtb-infected individuals, suggesting MA is a promising lipid antigen for incorporation into multicomponent subunit vaccines. In this study, we utilized bicontinuous nanospheres (BCN) to efficiently encapsulate MA and deliver it to MA-specific T cells both alone and in combination with an immunodominant Mtb protein antigen (Ag85B). Pulmonary delivery of MA-loaded BCN (MA-BCN) elicited MA-specific T cell responses in humanized CD1 transgenic mice. Simultaneous delivery of MA and Ag85B within BCN activated both MA- and Ag85B-specific T cells. Interestingly, pulmonary vaccination with MA-Ag85B-BCN led to the persistence of MA, but not Ag85B, within alveolar macrophages in the lung. Vaccination of MA-BCN through intravenous or subcutaneous route, or with attenuated Mtb likewise reproduced MA persistence. Moreover, MA-specific T cells in MA-BCN-vaccinated mice differentiated to have a T follicular helper-like phenotype. Overall, BCN platform allows for the dual encapsulation of lipid and protein antigen and leads to persistent lipid depots that could offer long-lasting immune response and protection.

Project description:Setdb1 is one of the H3K9 methyltransferases and represses gene expression by H3K9 methylation. In an attempt to elucidate the role of Setdb1 in the TLR4-mediated inflammatory responses, we performed DNA microarray analysis using lipid A (the active component of LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from macrophage specific Setdb1 KO (KO) and WT mice. The genes upregulated by lipid A treatment in WT macrophages and further increased in KO macrophages contain many genes associated with interleukins and chemokines. Peritoneal macrophages from WT and KO mice were stimulated with lipid A 10 ng/ml or vehicle for 4 h. Microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0.

Project description:Time-restricted feeding improves metabolic health independently of dietary macronutrient composition or energy restriction. To understand the mechanisms underpinning the effects of time-restricted feeding, we investigated the metabolic and transcriptomic profile of skeletal muscle and serum samples from 11 overweight/obese men. In muscle, 4-10% of transcripts and 14% of metabolites were periodic, with the amplitude of the metabolites lower after time-restricted feeding. Core clock genes were unaltered by either intervention, while time-restricted feeding induced rhythmicity of genes related to lipid and amino acid transport. In serum, 49-65% of the metabolites had diurnal rhythms across both conditions, with the majority being lipids. Time-restricted feeding shifted the skeletal muscle metabolite profile from predominantly lipids to amino acids. Our results show time-restricted feeding differentially affects the amplitudes and rhythmicity of serum and skeletal muscle metabolites, and regulates the rhythmicity of genes controlling lipid and amino acid transport, without perturbing the core clock.

Project description:Cancer cell culture models frequently rely on fetal bovine serum as a source of protein and lipid factors that support cell survival and proliferation; however, serum-containing media imperfectly mimics the in vivo cancer environment. Recent studies suggest that typical serum-containing cell culture conditions can mask cancer dependencies, for example on cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes, that exist in vivo and emerge when cells are cultured in media that provides more realistic levels of lipids. Here we describe a high-throughput screen that identified fenretinide and ivermectin as small molecules whose cytotoxicity is greatly enhanced in lipid-restricted media formulations. Mechanism of action studies indicate that the ivermectin-induced cell death involves oxidative stress, while fenretinide likely targets DEGS1, a lipid desaturase necessary for ceramide synthesis, to induce cell death. Notably, both fenretinide and ivermectin have previously demonstrated in vivo anticancer efficacy despite their low cytotoxicity under typical cell culture conditions. These studies reveal ceramide synthesis as a targetable vulnerability of cancer cells cultured under lipid-restricted conditions and suggest a general screening strategy for identifying additional cancer dependencies masked by culture conditions unrepresentative of the in vivo environment.

Project description:Immune checkpoints play various important roles in tumour immunity, which usually contribute to T cells' exhaustion, leading to immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment. However, the roles of immune checkpoints in infectious diseases, especially fungal infection, remain elusive. Here, we reanalyzed a recent published single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with Candida albicans (C. albicans), to explore the expression patterns of immune checkpoints after C. albicans bloodstream infection. We characterized the heterogeneous pathway activities among different immune cell subpopulations after C. albicans infection. The CTLA-4 pathway was up-regulated in stimulated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, while the PD-1 pathway showed high activity in stimulated plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) and monocytes. Importantly, we found that immunosuppressive checkpoints HAVCR2 and LAG3 were only expressed in stimulated NK and CD8+ T cells, respectively. Their viabilities were validated by flow cytometry. We also identified three overexpressed genes (ISG20, LY6E, ISG15) across all stimulated cells. Also, two monocyte-specific overexpressed genes (SNX10, IDO1) were screened out in this study. Together, these results supplemented the landscape of immune checkpoints in fungal infection, which may serve as potential therapeutic targets for C. albicans infection. Moreover, the genes with the most relevant for C. albicans infection were identified in this study.
