Project description:The maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) after exposure to microbial products or inflammatory mediators plays a critical role in initiating the immune response. We found that maturation can also occur under steady state conditions, triggered by alterations in E-cadherin-mediated DC-DC adhesion. Selective disruption of these interactions induced the typical features of DC maturation including the upregulation of costimulatory molecules, MHC class II, and chemokine receptors. These events were triggered at least in part by activation of the b-catenin pathway. However, unlike maturation induced by microbial products, E-cadherin-stimulated DCs failed to release immunostimulatory cytokines, exhibiting an entirely different transcriptional profile. As a result, E-cadherin-stimulated DCs elicited an entirely different T cell response in vivo, generating T cells with a regulatory as opposed to an effector phenotype. These DCs induced tolerance in vivo and may thus contribute to the elusive steady state âtolerogenic DCsâ. Experiment Overall Design: We performed a genome-wide microarray analysis to study the expression profiles of DCs matured by CD as opposed to a conventional TLR agonist (E. coli, which stimulates multiple TLRs). RNA was isolated from human CD34+ DCs at various times after stimulation and used to probe Affymetrix U95Av2 chips. A time course was followed after various stimuli, with single chips used per time point. >700 genes were found differentially regulated upon maturation by either CD or bacterial stimulation. Cluster analysis revealed that after an early phase (1-3 hr) of similarity, expression profiles exhibited by the two sets of DCs diverged dramatically at later time points (>6 hr). A number of transcripts were markedly upregulated in the bacteria-stimulated set that remained relatively unchanged or actually decreased in the cluster-disrupted set. There were some transcripts upregulated in cluster-disrupted cells, however, with at least some of these increases prevented by adding anti-E-cadherin mAb under conditions that blocked maturation. Clearly, the transcriptional events induced by alteration of E-cadherin-mediated adhesion were quite distinct from those induced by TLR activation.

Project description:XCR1+ dendritic cells (DC) have been shown to excel in antigen cross-presentation for the activation of naïve CD8 T cells. This property was reported to be associated to the subset of the XCR1+ DC expressing IL-12b upon ex vivo stimulation for 24 h with a mixture of CpG, IFN-γ, and GM-CSF (Lin ML et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2008. PMID: 18272486). DC found in the steady-state non-lymphoid tissues undergo an homeostatic, tolerogenic, maturation and migrate to the draining lymph nodes to interact with naive autoreactive T cells and induction their peripheral tolerance. In contrast, spleen DC are thought to exist solely in an immature state. The aim of this study was to re-examine heterogeneity within steady state spleen XCR1+ DC, in particular examining whether this population encompass a fraction of mature DCs as assessed through their expression of CCR7 and/or the Il12b gene. Indeed, we show that a small fraction of XCR1+ spleen DC constitutively mature into two distinct but likely successive activation stages characterized as CCR7+ and CCR7+Il12b+ respectively, and correlated with increasing ability to cross-present antigen to naïve CD8 T cells. Transcriptomic analysis of the subsets of XCR1+ DC found in steady state spleen unexpectedly showed that their homeostatic maturation was unexpectedly associated with up-regulated of many genes thought to drive pro-inflammatory T-cell responses and previously found to be commonly induced upon maturation of distinct DC subsets in response to stimulation by various microbial-type stimuli (Vu Manh TP et al. Eur J Immunol. 2013. PMID: 23553052). Thus, our results reveal that spleen XCR1+ DC undergo constitutive maturation and emphasize the common mechanisms operating upon homeostatic, tolerogenic, DC maturation versus microbial-type stimuli-induced, immunogenic, DC maturation. DC were isolated from the spleen of untreated Il12b-EYFP reporter mice (Reinhardt RL et al. J Immunol. 2006. PMID:16849470) mice as previously described (Robbins SH et al. Genome Biol. 2008. PMID: 18218067; Baranek T et al. Cell Host Microbe. 2012. PMID: 23084923). DC subsets were sorted by flow cytometry according to the marker combinations described in the âcharacteristics: phenotypeâ field for each sample.

Project description:Cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) is a member of the Rho GTPase family and has pivotal functions in actin organization, cell migration and proliferation. Cdc42 has been shown to regulate antigen (Ag)-uptake in immature dendritic cells (DC) and controls their migration from tissues to lymph nodes. Previous reports demonstrated that Cdc42 is inactivated upon DC-maturation to avoid continued Ag-acquisition. To further study the molecular mechanisms of DC-control by Cdc42, we used bone marrow-derived DCs from Cdc42-deficient mice. We show that Cdc42-deficient DCs are phenotypically mature without additional maturation stimuli, as they upregulate CD86 from intracellular storages to the cell surface. They also accumulate invariant chain (Ii)-MHC class II complexes at the cell surface, which cannot efficiently present peptide Ag for priming of Ag-specific CD4 T cells. Lack of Cdc42 in immature DCs does not allow MHC class II maturation, as lysosomal Cathepsins are lost into the supernatant and Ii-MHC class II complexes cannot mature. Therefore Cdc42-deficient DCs are "pseudomature" and lose most functional hallmarks of antigen-presenting cells. Our results propose that Cdc42 keeps DCs in an immature state, while downregulation of Cdc42-activity during maturation facilitates generation of CD86+MHCII+ mature DCs.

Project description:Pro-inflammation triggered by microbial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 in the presence of interferon (IFN)-g induces cytokine secretion in dendritic cells (DCs) tightly regulated by a defined differentiation program. This DC differentiation is characterized by a dynamic immune activating but also tolerance inducing phenotype associated with irreversible down-modulation of cytokines. CD40L on activated T cells further modifies DC differentiation. Using DNA micro arrays we showed down-regulated mRNA levels of TLR signaling molecules while CD40/CD40L signaling molecules were up-regulated at a time when LPS/IFN-g activated DCs have ceased cytokine expression. Accordingly we demonstrated that CD40/CD40L but not TLR4 or TLR3 signaling mediated by LPS or poly (cytidylic-inosinic) acid (poly I:C) and dsRNA re-established the capacity to secret interleukin (IL)-12 in LPS/IFN-g activated DCs, which have exhausted their potential for cytokine secretion. This resulting TH1 polarizing DC phenotype â which lacked accompanying secretion of the crucial immune suppressive IL-10 - enhanced activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). We therefore conclude that immune modulation is restricted to a secondary T-cell mediated stimulus at an exhausted DC state which prevents an immune tolerant DC phenotype. These findings impacts on the rational design of TLR activated DC-based cancer vaccines for the induction of anti-tumoral CTL responses. Experiment Overall Design: Monocyte derived DCs were matured for 6 hours with 30 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS, E. coli strain O111:B4, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) and 1.000 U/ml IFN-g (Imukin, Boehringer Ingelheim, Austria). RNA of DCs was isolated after 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours of maturation using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and analyzed by the RZPD (German Resource Centre for Genome Research, Berlin) using the Affymetrix DNA micro array platform (U133 plus 2.0). DNA array data from different maturation-time experiments were compared to controls that were kept in culture for the same time without stimulation.

Project description:Depending on their environment and their exposure to various factors, dendritic cells (DCs) exist in different activation and maturation states. The versatility of DCs allows them to shape the immune system towards an inflammatory or tolerant state depending on the antigens and the environment they encounter. In this study we aimed to provide a proteomic catalogue of differentially expressed and differentially phosphorylated proteins between distinct DC maturation states, brought about by bacteria that differ in their endotoxicity. To achieve this, we have performed unlabeled shotgun proteomics and phosphoproteomics on cell fractions obtained from murine bone marrow DC cultures. The symbiont B. vulgatus stimulation was used to obtain semi-mature DCs, and the pathobiont E. coli stimulation was used to obtain mature DCs. For both shotgun proteome and phosphoproteome analysis two biological replicates consisting of 8 mice were used. Each biological replicate were run as 3 technical replicates.

Project description:Homeostatic control of dendritic cell (DC) survival is crucial for a productive adaptive immune response, but the molecular mechanism is not well defined. Moreover, how DCs influence homeostasis of the immune system under steady state remains unclear. Combining DC-specific and inducible deletion systems, we report here that the kinase TAK1 is an essential regulator of DC survival and immune system homeostasis and function. Deficiency of TAK1 in CD11c+ cells diminished DC populations, especially the CD8+ and CD103+ DC subsets in the lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs, respectively. This was associated with increased apoptosis of DCs, whereas DC proliferation and differentiation from precursors appeared largely normal. In addition, acute deletion of TAK1 caused DC apoptosis, indicating a direct role of TAK1 in actively maintaining DC survival. TAK1 deficiency impaired activities of the pro-survival NF-kB and AKT pathways but upregulated expression of the pro-apoptotic molecule Bim. Under steady state, loss of TAK1 in DCs resulted in a myeloid proliferative disorder, and altered homeostasis of T cells. In response to antigen stimulation, TAK1-deficient DCs were impaired for T cell priming and regulatory T cell generation. Therefore, TAK1 orchestrates a pro-survival checkpoint in DCs that affects the homeostasis and function of the immune system RNA extracted from three replicate samples of wild-type and Map3k7 (TAK1) knockout dendritic cells was analyzed on Affymetrix gene expression arrays

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in mediating immunity to pathogens, vaccines, tumors and tolerance to self. Significant progress has been made in the study of DC subsets in murine models but the translation of these findings to human DC immunobiology has not been fully realized. Murine splenic CD8+ DC and CD103+ DC possess potent antigen cross-presenting capacity. Although recent evidence points to human blood CD141+ DCs as the functional equivalent of CD8+ DC, the precise identity of the human migratory cross-presenting DC has remained elusive. We performed phenotypic and functional analyses to interrogate the DC compartment of human non-lymphoid tissues and identified three distinct subsets: i) CD141high DCs, ii) CD1c DCs and iii) CD14+ DCs. Only CD141high DCs were capable of cross-presenting soluble antigen. Comparative transcriptome analysis of steady state monocyte and DC subsets between mouse and human confirmed conservation between species, aligning the following subsets together: i) human CD141high DCs with mouse CD8+ and CD103+ DCs, ii) human CD1c+ DCs with mouse CD4+ DCs and iii) human CD14+ DC with mouse monocyte subsets. The lack of positive association between human CD1c+ DCs and mouse non-lymphoid tissue CD11b+ DCs highlights heterogeneity and predicts the existence of a monocyte-like cell within the CD11b+ DCs. Gene expression analysis using total RNA from specific human and mouse monocyte and dendritic cell subsets purified by FACS.
