Project description:HIV associated immune activation (IA) is associated with increased morbidity in people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy, and remains a barrier for strategies aimed at reducing the HIV reservoir. The underlying mechanisms of IA have not been definitively elucidated, however, persistent production of Type I IFNs and expression of ISGs is considered to be one of the primary factors. Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) are a major producer of Type I IFN during viral infections, and are highly immunomodulatory in acute HIV and SIV infection, however their role in chronic HIV/SIV infection has not been firmly established. Here, we performed a detailed transcriptomic characterization of pDCs in chronic SIV infection in rhesus macaques, and in sooty mangabeys, a natural host non-human primate (NHP) species that undergoes non-pathogenic SIV infection. We also investigated the immunostimulatory capacity of lymph node homing pDCs in chronic SIV infection by contrasting gene expression of pDCs isolated from lymph nodes with those from blood. We observed that pDCs in LNs, but not blood, produced high levels of IFN transcripts, and upregulated gene expression programs consistent with T cell activation and exhaustion. We apply a novel strategy to catalogue uncharacterized surface molecules on pDCs, and identified the lymphoid exhaustion markers TIGIT and LAIR1 as highly expressed in SIV infection. pDCs from SIV-infected sooty mangabeys lacked the activation profile of ISG signatures observed in infected macaques. These data demonstrate that pDCs are a primary producer of Type I IFN in chronic SIV infection. Further, this study demonstrated that pDCs trafficking to LNs persist in a highly activated state well into chronic infection. Collectively, these data identify pDCs as a highly immunomodulatory cell population in chronic SIV infection, and a putative therapeutic target to reduce immune activation.

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive malignancy assumed to originate from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which affects the skin and bone marrow and sequentially other organ systems. Here, we used EPIC arrays to characterize methylation profiles in 51 BPDCN cases.

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying the effect of p17 on human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and was compared to CpG profile. Experiment Overall Design: Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells were purified from two donors and cultured in the presence of p17 or CpG for 18 h.

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematologic malignancy that is most similar in expression profiles to plasmacytoid dendritic cells. However, patients often exhibit features of AML and can progress to AML. In this project, we will determine the differentially and commonly expressed genes between BPDCN and AML specimens. Available BPDCN and TET2-mutated AML specimens were taken for transcriptome microarray analysis.

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive malignancy assumed to originate from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which mostly affects the skin, bone marrow and lymph nodes and sequentially other organ systems. We applied paired WES/RNA-seq combined with genome-wide copy-number analysis to characterize 47 BPDCN patients regarding mutational drivers, cytogenetic aberrations and gene-expression profiles.

Project description:To investigate the effect of IVIG and desialylated IVIG on the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Human primary plasmacytoid dendritic cells were treated with TLR stimulation together with or without IVIG or desialylated IVIG, and the change of genes were analyzed. Primary human pDCs were preincubated with or without 10mg/ml IVIG or desialylated IVIG followed by stimulation with CpG overnight. The different genes between IVIG+CpG and desialylated IVIG+CpG were analyzed.

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare aggressive malignancy derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors. We subjected tumor biopsies from patients with BPDCN to whole-genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing to investigate genomic alterations and deregulated gene expression in the disease.

Project description:In SIV/HIV infection, the gastrointestinal tissue dominates as an important site due to the impact of massive mucosal CD4 depletion and immune activation-induced tissue pathology. Unlike AIDS-susceptible rhesus macaques, natural hosts do not progress to AIDS and resolve immune activation earlier. Here, we examine the role of dendritic cells in mediating immune activation and disease progression. We demonstrate that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in the blood upregulate β7-integrin and are rapidly recruited to the colorectum following a pathogenic SIV infection in rhesus macaques. These pDC were capable of producing proinflammatory cytokines and primed a Tc1 response in vitro. Consistent with the upregulation of β7-integrin on pDC, in vivo blockade of α4β7-integrin dampened pDC recruitment to the colorectum and resulted in reduced immune activation. The upregulation of β7-integrin expression on pDC in the blood was also observed in HIV-infected humans but not in chronically SIV-infected sooty mangabeys that show low levels of immune activation. Our results uncover a new mechanism by which pDC influence immune activation in colorectal tissue following pathogenic immunodeficiency virus infections.
