Project description:We studied the impact of Ptdss1 knockdown in PyMT mouse mammary tumor cells and of Csf1-driven Mertk KO (macrophage-specfic) on tumor growth and the associated macrophage phenotype in an orthotopic tumor model. To gain insight into the reasons underlying tumor rejection once either Ptdss1 was deleted in tumor cells or Mertk was knocked out in macrophages, whole transcriptome profiling of FACS-sorted tumor-associated macrophages of WT or macrophage-specific Mertk KO mice receiving either control tumor cells or Ptdss1 knockdown tumor cells was performed via next generation mRNA sequencing, at least in triplicates, on a NextSeq 500 high-throughput bench top sequencer.

Project description:scRNAseq of Mertk-WT and Mertk-KO corpus callosum
| PRJNA625324 | ENA
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to characterize the the different CNS cell types in the mouse corpus callosum over three different cuprizone treatment timepoints - (Baseline, 4 weeks, 4 weeks + 3 weeks of recovery) and compare the Mertk-WT vs Mertk-KO response to demyelination. Methods: 3-4 biological replicates (mice) were used for each timepoint/genotype. Tissues were dissociated into single cells for preparation of 10X libraries and sequenced with HiSeq 2500 (Illumina). Results: scRNA-Seq data were analyzed with an in-house analysis pipeline. Briefly, reads were demultiplexed based on perfect matches to expected cell barcodes. Transcript reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome (GRCm38) using GSNAP (Wu and Nacu, 2010). Only uniquely mapping reads were considered for downstream analysis. Transcript counts for a given gene were based on the number of unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) for reads overlapping exons in sense orientation. To account for sequencing or PCR errors, one mismatch was allowed when collapsing UMI sequences. Cell barcodes from empty droplets were filtered by requiring a minimum number of detected transcripts. Cells with less than 1000 total UMIs were discarded. Conclusions: We show differences between Mertk-WT and Mertk-KO cellular profiles, particularly at the 4 week Cuprizone timepoint. In addition, our data show a distinct, yet heterogenous, population of oligodendrocytes that arise in the cuprizone model where remyelination is spontaneous and robust. Our results provide new insights into the cellular response to demyelination, that includes a resource for comparing and interpreting neurodegenerative disease models.

Project description:Tolerogenic dendritic cells (tol-DCs) offer a promising therapeutic potential for autoimmune diseases. Tol-DCs have been reported to inhibit immunogenic responses, yet little is known about the mechanisms controlling their tolerogenic status, as well as associated specific markers. Here we show that the anti-inflammatory TAM receptor tyrosine kinase MERTK, is highly expressed on clinical grade dexamethasone-induced human tol-DCs and mediates their tolerogenic effect. Neutralization of MERTK in allogenic mixed lymphocyte reactions as well as autologous DC-T cell cultures leads to increased T cell proliferation and IFN-g production. Additionally, we identify a previously unrecognized non-cell autonomous regulatory function of MERTK expressed on DCs. Recombinant Mer-Fc protein, used to mimic MERTK on DCs, suppresses naïve and antigen-specific memory T cell activation. This mechanism is mediated by the neutralization of the MERTK agonist Protein S (PROS1) expressed by T cells. We find that MERTK and PROS1 are expressed in human T cells upon TCR activation and drive an autocrine pro-proliferative mechanism. Collectively, these results suggest that MERTK on tol-DCs directly inhibits T cell activation through the competition for PROS1 interaction with MERTK in the T cells. Targeting MERTK may provide an interesting approach to effectively increase or suppress tolerance for the purpose of immunotherapy. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 54,675 genes for: immature (n=9), mature (n=7) and tolerogenic (n=8). Influence of treatment with dexamethasone (n=3) and LPS (n=2) are included.

Project description:Knockout (KO) mouse models play critical roles in elucidating biological processes behind disease-associated or disease-resistant traits. As a consequence of gene KO, mice display certain phenotypes. Based on insight into the molecular role of said gene in a biological process, it is inferred that the particular biological process causally underlies the trait. This approach has been crucial towards understanding the basis of pathological and/or advantageous traits associated with Mertk KO. MERTK is a receptor tyrosine kinase with a critical role in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells or cellular debris. Therefore, early-onset, severe retinal degeneration was described to be a direct consequence of failed phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by retinal pigment epithelia. Similarly, enhanced anti-tumor immunity was inferred to result from the failure of macrophages to dispose cancer cell corpses, resulting in a pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment. Here we report that the loss of Mertk alone is not sufficient for retinal degeneration. This trait only manifests when the function of the paralog Tyro3 is concomitantly lost. Additionally, the dramatic resistance against two syngeneic mouse tumor models observed in Mertk KO cannot, at least entirely, be ascribed to the loss of Mertk. The widely used Mertk KO carries multiple coincidental changes in its genome that affect the expression of a number of genes, including Tyro3. Nonetheless, neither Tyro3, nor macrophage phagocytosis by alternate genetic redundancy, accounts for the absence of anti-tumor immunity in two independent Mertk KOs. Collectively, our results indicate that context-dependent epistasis of independent modifier alleles determine Mertk KO traits.

Project description:Whole transcriptome RNA-seq analysis to measure group-wise RNA expression level of the MERTK gene in 3 healthy controls (known to be homozygous non-risk haplotype at MERTK gene locus) and to compare this to the group-wise RNA expression level of the MERTK gene in 5 Multiple Sclerosis-affected (MS-affected) individuals (known to be homozygous for the MS risk haplotype at the MERTK gene locus). We sequenced the whole transcriptome of 3 healthy control samples which were all homozygous for the MS non-risk haplotype at the MERTK gene. We also did the same RNA-seq protocol on 5 MS-affected subjects that were all homozygous for the Risk haplotype at the MERTK gene. All 8 samples were sequenced evenly across 3 lanes of an Illumina HiSeq NGS machine to remove any batch-type effects that could be caused by sequencing e.g. all cases in one lane and all controls in another lane.

Project description:Profiling of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) after anti-MerTK treatment
| PRJNA490763 | ENA
Project description:Recent studies have shown the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) associates with immunosuppression, and that targeting the ECM can improve immune infiltration and immunotherapy response. A question that remains is whether the ECM is directly educating the immune phenotypes seen in cancer. We identified a tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) population correlated with poor prognosis, interruption of the cancer immunity cycle, and tumor ECM composition. To investigate whether ECM was capable of generating the TAM phenotype seen, we developed a decellularized tissue model that retains the native ECM architecture and composition. Macrophages cultured on decellularized ovarian metastasis shared transcriptional profiles with the TAMs found in human tissues. ECM educated macrophages have a tissue remodeling and immunoregulatory phenotype, inducing altered T cell function. We conclude that the tumor ECM is directly educating this macrophage population found in cancer tissues. Therefore, current and emerging cancer therapies that target the tumor ECM may be tailored to improve macrophage phenotype and their downstream regulation of immunity.
