Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors thousands of bacterial species that include symbionts as well as potential pathogens. The immune responses that limit access of these bacteria to underlying tissue remain poorly defined. In this study, we used microarrays to uncover the transcriptional responses that occur in small intestinal γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes following bacterial challenge. γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (γδ IEL) were isolated by flow cytometry from the small intestines of germ-free mice, or from age- and sex-matched conventionally-raised counterparts. We extracted RNAs from these purified γδ IEL for analysis on Affymetrix DNA microarrays. The mice were all >8 weeks in age, and each sample represents a pool of RNAs from 5-8 mice.

Project description:The conventional notion of “immune privilege” of the brain has been revised to accommodate its infiltration, at steady state, by immune cells that participate in normal neurophysiology (Louveau, Trends Immunol 2015; Kipnis science 2016; Filiano, Nat Rev Neurosciences 2017). Surprisingly, such neuroimmune functions have been linked to “pro-inflammatory” cytokines like IL-4 or IFN-α, shown to control behavioural and social cognition (Derecki, JEM 2010; Filiano, Nature 2016). Here we identify a pro-cognitive role for IL-17 in short-term memory that derives from a previously unknown meningeal-resident γδ T cell subset. This was mostly composed of foetal thymic-derived Vγ6+ T cells, found in the meninges at birth and persisting throughout life, where they were strikingly polarized towards IL-17 production. In fact, γδ T cells were the overwhelming source of meningeal IL-17, whereas IFN-γ was mostly provided by T cells. To assess whether the constitutive production of IL-17 by γδ T cells influenced the cognitive performance of mice, we tested TCRδ-/-, IL-17-/- and respective WT littermate control mice in classical learning paradigms. We observed that mice deficient either for γδ T cells or IL-17 displayed impaired short-term memory in the Y maze paradigm, while retaining normal long-term spatial memory in the Morris water maze. A detailed proteomics analysis of the hippocampus provided mechanistic insight into reduced plasticity of the glutamatergic synapses in the absence of IL-17, which associated with impaired Long Term Potentiation (LTP). Conversely, IL-17 enhanced glial cell production of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF), whose exogenous provision rescued the LTP defect of IL-17-/- animals. Altogether, our data demonstrate that foetal-derived γδ T cells populate the brain meninges where they regulate synaptic plasticity and short-term memory through a non-inflammatory IL-17-dependent mechanism.

Project description:A key requisite for the success of a dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine in treating malignancies is the capacity of the DCs to attract immune effector cells for further interaction and activation, considering crosstalk with DCs is partially regulated by cell-contact-dependent mechanisms. Although critical for therapeutic efficacy, immune cell recruitment is a largely overlooked aspect regarding optimization of DC therapy. In this paper we examine if the so-called interleukin (IL)-15 DC vaccine provides a favorable chemokine milieu for recruiting T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and gamma delta (γδ) T cells, in comparison with the IL-4 DCs used routinely for clinical studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms of immune cell attraction by IL-15 DCs. Chemokine signaling is studied both at the RNA level, using microarray data of mature DCs, and functional level, by means of a transwell chemotaxis assay. Important to note, the classic IL-4 DC vaccine falls short to attract the required immune effector lymphocytes, whereas the IL-15 DCs provide a favorable chemokine milieu for recruiting all cytolytic effector cells. The elevated secretion of the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4), also known as macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β), by IL-15 DCs underlies the enhanced migratory responsiveness of T cells, NK cells and γδ T cells. Namely, neutralizing its receptor CCR5 resulted in a significant drop in migration of the aforementioned effector cells towards IL-15 DCs. These findings should be kept in mind in the design of future DC-based cancer vaccines.

Project description:In addition to serving as the primary effector cells against infections, neutrophils have been implicated in the regulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. In this study, we employed neutropenic mice to investigate the role of neutrophils in the regulation of the immune system under physiological conditions. Unexpectedly, we observed an accumulation of γδ T cells in the cervical lymph nodes of neutropenic mice. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that these accumulated γδ T cells exhibited unique expression profiles of cell surface molecules and genes involved in defense responses. Further characterization indicated that the accumulated γδ T cells were IL-17 producing CD44+CD62L−CD27− memory cells. Additionally, in vitro experiments demonstrated that neutrophils could inhibit the function of IL-17A producing γδ T cells by inducing cell death in these activated cells. Given that IL-17A is a critical cytokine for the recruitment of neutrophils to peripheral tissues, our study suggests that the crosstalk between neutrophils and IL-17A producing γδ T cells is a crucial mechanism for maintaining immune homeostasis under physiological conditions

Project description:During ontogeny, γδ T cells emerge from the thymus and directly seed peripheral tissues for in situ immunity, though their functional role in humans is largely defined from blood. Here, we analyzed the phenotype, transcriptome, function, and repertoire of human γδ T cells in blood, mucosal and lymphoid tissues from 176 donors across the lifespan, revealing distinct profiles in children compared to adults. In early life, clonally diverse Vd1 subsets predominate across blood and tissues, comprising naïve and differentiated effector and tissue repair functions, while cytolytic Vd2 subsets populate blood, spleen and lungs. Over age, both subsets exhibit clonal expansions disseminated across sites and express elevated cytolytic signatures. In adults, Vd2 cells predominate in blood, while Vd1 cells are enriched across tissues and express residency profiles. These results indicate that antigenic exposures over childhood drive the functional evolution and tissue compartmentalization of γδ T cells, leading to age-dependent roles in immunity.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare transcriptome profiles of IFNγ producing (Thy1.1+) and IFNγ non-producing (Thy1.1-) CD4 T cells during chronic intestinal inflammation using RNA sequencing. Methods: Total mRNA was isolated from FACS sorted CD44+Thy1.1+ and CD44+Thy1.1-CD4 T cells and sequenced in duplicate using Illumina HiSeq 2500 (2x100 base pair, paired-end reads). The sequence reads were aligned using mouse GRCm38.75 reference genome. DESeq2 software was used for differential expression analysis. Results: Differential expression analysis with DESeq2 algorithm revealed that a total of 942 and 1091 genes were significantly increased in the IFNγ+ and IFNγ- effector CD4 T cells, respectively (adjusted p value <0.05). We also performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) by pre-ranking RNA sequencing data according to an adjusted p-value and the sign of differential expression. GSEA regults suggested that IFNγ+ CD4 T cells had terminally differentiated phenotype, while IFNγ- CD4 T cells had transcriptional profile associated with self-renewal and stemness. Conclusions: Our study suggests that effector CD4 T cells exist in a spectrum of differentiation status during chronic intestinal inflammation, which impacts pathogenicity of CD4 T cells.

Project description:Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) causes bovine tuberculosis (bTB). The challenges in controlling and eradicating this zoonotic disease are compounded by our incomplete understanding of the host immune response. In this study, we used high-throughput bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterise the response profiles of γδ T cells to antigenic stimulation using purified protein derivate from M. bovis (PPDb). γδ T cells are a subgroup of T cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity and have known anti-mycobacterial response mechanisms. These cells are usually classified based on the expression of a pathogen-recognition receptor, Workshop Cluster 1 (WC1), into two main subsets: WC1.1+ and WC1.2+. Previous studies have identified a preferential transcriptomic response in WC1.1+ cells during natural bTB infection, suggesting a subset-specific response to mycobacterial antigens. This follow on study tested the hypothesis that a subset specific response would also be apparent from γδ T cells from infected cattle after repeat stimulation. Peripheral blood was collected from Holstein-Friesian cattle naturally infected with M. bovis, confirmed by a single intradermal comparative tuberculin test (SICTT) and IFN-γ ELISA and stimulated with 10 μg/ml PPDb for 6 hours. After whole blood stimulation, WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cell subsets were isolated using magnetic cell sorting (n = 5 per group). High-quality RNA was extracted from each purified lymphocyte subset (WC1.1+ and WC1.2+) to generate transcriptomes using bulk RNA sequencing, resulting in 20 RNA-seq libraries. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 111 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) common to both WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cell compartments, including upregulation of IL1A, IL1B, IL6, IL17A, IL17F, and IFNG genes (FDR-Padj. < 0.1). Interestingly, the WC1.2+ cells showed upregulation of IL10, CCL22, and GZMA (log2FC ≥ 1.5, and FDR-Padj. < 0.1). In conclusion, while WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cells exhibit a conserved inflammatory response to PPDb, differences in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial gene expression between these cell subsets provide new insights into their effector functions in response to mycobacterial antigens.
