Project description:T lymphocytes leverage T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of aberrant peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHCs) on altered cells to protect the mammalian host from infectious pathogens and cancerous transformations. While adaptive immunity requires efficient TCR performance, comparison metrics are widely limited to force-free assays. Recent data reveals, however, that mechanical load on the TCR-pMHC bond resulting from cellular motions between a T cell-antigen presenting cell conjugate formed during immune surveillance tunes TCR specificity and sensitivity. Here, we cloned TCRs from lung resident CD8 T cells following influenza A virus (IAV) infection directed against two immunodominant epitopes, the luminous nucleoprotein NP366-374 /Db and sparse acid polymerase PA224-233/Db pMHCs, arrayed at >1000 vs <10 copies/cell, respectively. Using optical tweezers-based methods to apply biologically relevant loads, we observe that certain TCRs belonging to the NP repertoire require many ligands for activation while others only few, functioning in analogue or digital modes, correspondingly. In contrast, prevalent TCRs tested in the PA repertoire all perform digitally. When held at a critical force, moreover, even digital TCRs are distinguishable, exhibiting dramatic increases in bond lifetime and performance relating to their structural transition rate and distance. Digital performance is best for both specificities in vitro and in vivo, but undiscernible using conventional functional avidity or TCR sequence distance metrics. Correlates of optimal biophysical parameters include magnitudes of ERK phosphorylation, CD3 surface loss, and activation marker upregulation. Our findings underscore the requirement to match TCR performance quality with pMHC copy number, as nature does. Given tumor antigen array paucity, engaging choice digital TCRs appears critical for T-cell adoptive cancer therapies and vaccines.

Project description:Physical forces associated with spaceflight and spaceflight analogue culture regulate a wide range of physiological responses by both bacterial and mammalian cells that can impact infection. However, our mechanistic understanding of how these environments regulate host-pathogen interactions in humans is poorly understood. Using a spaceflight analogue low fluid shear culture system, we investigated the effect of Low Shear Modeled Microgravity (LSMMG) culture on the colonization of Salmonella Typhimurium in a 3-D biomimetic model of human colonic epithelium containing macrophages. RNA-seq profiling of stationary phase wild type and hfq mutant bacteria alone indicated that LSMMG culture induced global changes in gene expression in both strains and that the RNA-binding protein Hfq played a significant role in regulating the transcriptional response of the pathogen to LSMMG culture. However, a core set of genes important for adhesion, invasion, and motility were commonly induced in both strains. LSMMG culture enhanced the colonization (adherence, invasion and intracellular survival) of Salmonella in this advanced model of intestinal epithelium using a mechanism that was independent of Hfq. Although S. Typhimurium hfq mutants are normally defective for invasion when grown as conventional shaking cultures, LSMMG conditions unexpectedly enabled high levels of colonization by an isogenic hfq mutant. In response to infection with either the wild type or mutant, host cells upregulated transcripts involved in inflammation, tissue remodeling, and wound healing during intracellular survival. Interestingly, infection by the hfq mutant led to fewer transcriptional differences between LSMMG- and control-infected host cells relative to infection with the wild type strain. This is the first study to investigate the effect of LSMMG culture on the interaction between S. Typhimurium and a 3-D model of human intestinal tissue. These findings advance our understanding of how physical forces can impact the early stages of human enteric salmonellosis.

Project description:During metastatic dissemination, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) enter capillary beds, where they experience mechanical constriction forces. A high-throughput microfluidic platform mimicking human capillaries to investigate the impact of mechanical constriction forces on malignant and normal breast cell lines was developed. Cells were collected after transiting the constrictions, followed by RNA extraction and sequencing. The non-malignant cell line experienced transcriptional changes, particularly downregulation of epithelial markers, while the metastatic cell lines showed minimal alterations.

Project description:Mechanical forces are essential for normal fetal lung development. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating this process remain largely unknown. In the present study, we used oligonucleotide microarray technology to investigate gene expression profile in cultured rat fetal lung type II epithelial cells exposed to a level of mechanical strain similar to that observed in utero. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) identified 92 genes differentially expressed by strain. Interestingly, several members of the solute carrier family of amino acid transporters, genes involved in amino acid synthesis and development, and amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel gene were induced by strain. These results were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Thus, this study identifies genes induced by strain that may be important for amino acid signaling pathways, protein synthesis and development in fetal type II cells. In addition, these data suggest that mechanical forces may contribute to facilitate lung fluid reabsorption in preparation for birth. Taken together, the present investigation provides further insights into how mechanical forces may modulate fetal lung development.

Project description:Single-cell DNA methylation sequencing is a powerful method for elucidating important physiological and pathological processes, identifying cell subpopulations, and constructing epigenetic regulatory networks. Existing methylome analyses typically require substantial starting materials, complex operations, and high cost and are susceptible to contamination. These problems have impeded the development of single-cell methylome technology for rare cell profiling. In this work, we report Digital Microfluidics-based single-cell Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (Digital-scRRBS), the first microfluidics-based single-cell methylome library construction platform, which is an automatic, efficient, reproducible, and reagent-economy approach to dissect the single-cell methylome. Taking advantage of our uniquely designed digital microfluidic chip, we realized efficient single-cell isolation in less than 15 seconds. Furthermore, with the advantages of a confined environment, superhydrophobic surface, and nano-scale reaction volume of our digital microfluidic chip, more amplifiable DNA is retained for library construction compared to other approaches. We have successfully constructed single-cell methylation sequencing libraries with a unique genome mapping rate of up to 53.6%, covering up to 2.26 million CpG sites. The application of Digital-scRRBS allows us to discriminate cell identity and dynamically monitor DNA methylation levels during drug administration. Digital-scRRBS provides the technology for widespread application of single-cell methylation methods as a versatile tool for epigenetic analysis in rare cells and highly heterogeneous populations.
