Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) direct CD4+ T cell differentiation into distinct T helper (Th) subsets that are vital for protection against diverse types of infection. However, the mechanisms employed by DCs to initiate Th2 responses, which are important for immunity to helminth infection as well as being a major contributor to allergic disease, remain poorly understood. We demonstrate a key role for methyl-CpG-binding domain-2 (Mbd2), a protein that links DNA methylation to repressive chromatin structure, in regulating expression of a range of genes that are associated with optimal DC activation and function. In the absence of Mbd2, DCs displayed reduced phenotypic activation and a dramatically impaired ability to promote Th2 immunity against either helminths or allergens, while their induction of Th1/17 responses remained intact. These data reveal a novel epigenetic mechanism that is integral to DC promotion of CD4+ T cell responses, particularly in Th2 settings, and identify methyl-CpG-binding proteins and the genes that they control as potential therapeutic targets for type-2 inflammation. H3K9,K14ac (H3ac) occupancy was analysed by ChIP-Seq for control (wt) or Mbd2 -/- (DEL) dendritic cells (DC). Input DNA for each cell line was also sequenced alongside.

However, the mechanisms employed by DCs to initiate Th2 responses, which are important for immunity to helminth infection as well as being a major contributor to allergic disease, remain poorly understood. We demonstrate a crucial role for methyl-CpG-binding domain-2 (Mbd2), a protein that links DNA methylation to repressive chromatin structure, in regulating DC gene expression and ability to promote Th2 immunity against either helminths or allergens. RNAs were extracted from murine (C57BL/6) Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) samples. Two groups of samples (three replicates each) were processed: (1) wild type, and (2) a homozygous knock-out of the Mbd2 locus.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) direct CD4(+) T-cell differentiation into diverse helper (Th) subsets that are required for protection against varied infections. However, the mechanisms used by DCs to promote Th2 responses, which are important both for immunity to helminth infection and in allergic disease, are currently poorly understood. We demonstrate a key role for the protein methyl-CpG-binding domain-2 (Mbd2), which links DNA methylation to repressive chromatin structure, in regulating expression of a range of genes that are associated with optimal DC activation and function. In the absence of Mbd2, DCs display reduced phenotypic activation and a markedly impaired capacity to initiate Th2 immunity against helminths or allergens. These data identify an epigenetic mechanism that is central to the activation of CD4(+) T-cell responses by DCs, particularly in Th2 settings, and reveal methyl-CpG-binding proteins and the genes under their control as possible therapeutic targets for type-2 inflammation.

Project description:The Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain Protein family has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. The Methyl-CpG-binding domain 2 (Mbd2) binds methylated DNA and was shown to play an important role in cancer and immunity. Some evidence linked this protein to neurodevelopment. However, its exact role in neurodevelopment and brain function is mostly unknown. Here we show that Mbd2-deficiency in mice (Mbd2-/-) results in deficits in cognitive, social and emotional functions. Mbd2 binds regulatory DNA regions of neuronal genes in the hippocampus and loss of Mbd2 alters the expression of hundreds of genes with a robust down-regulation of neuronal gene pathways. Further, a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis found an altered DNA methylation pattern in regulatory DNA regions of neuronal genes in Mbd2-/- mice. Differentially expressed genes significantly overlap with gene-expression changes observed in brain of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individuals. Notably, down-regulated genes are significantly enriched for human ortholog ASD risk-genes. Observed hippocampal morphological abnormalities were similar to those found in individuals with ASD and ASD rodent models. Mbd2 knockdown partially recapitulates the behavioral phenotypes observed in Mbd2-/- mice. These findings suggest Mbd2 is a novel epigenetic regulator of genes that are associated with ASD in humans. Mbd2 loss causes behavioral alterations that resemble those found in ASD patients.

Project description:Mice deficient in MBD2 (Mbd2-/-) were treated with 2% dextran sulfate sodium or normal drinking water for 6 continuous days. A single cell suspension of colon lamina propria and epithelium was isolated, with monocytes (CD11b+ Ly6CHi, MHC-II+/-), macrophages (CD11b+ Ly6C-MHC-II+), cDC2s (CD11b- CD11c+ CD103+) and epithelial cells (CD45- EpCAM+) purified by FACS. Methyl-CpG-binding domain-2 (Mbd2) acts as an epigenetic regulator of gene expression, by linking DNA methylation to repressive chromatin structure. Although Mbd2 is widely expressed in gastrointestinal immune cells and is implicated in regulating intestinal cancer and anti-helminth responses, its role in controlling colitis has yet to be defined. Indeed, epigenetic control of gene expression in cells that regulate intestinal immunity is generally poorly understood, even though such mechanisms may explain the inability of standard genetic approaches to pinpoint the causes of conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. In this study we demonstrate a vital role for Mbd2 in regulating murine colonic inflammation. Mbd2-/- mice displayed dramatically worse pathology than wild type controls during dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) induced colitis, with increased inflammatory (IL-1β+) monocytes. Profiling of mRNA from innate immune and epithelial cell (EC) populations suggested that Mbd2 suppresses inflammation and pathology via control of innate-epithelial cell crosstalk and T cell recruitment. Consequently, restriction of Mbd2 deficiency to CD11c+ dendritic cells and macrophages, or to ECs, resulted in increased DSS colitis severity. Our identification of this dual role for Mbd2 in regulating the inflammatory capacity of both CD11c+ cells and ECs highlights how epigenetic control mechanisms may limit intestinal inflammatory responses.
