Characterization and effective expansion of CD4-CD8- TCRab+ T cells from individuals living with type 1 diabetes

Project description:CD4-CD8- TCRab+ (double-negative [DN]) T cells represent a rare T cell population that promotes immunological tolerance through various cytotoxic mechanisms. In mice, autologous transfer of DN T cells has shown protective effects against autoimmune diabetes and graft-versus-host disease. Here, we characterized humanDNT cells from people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) and healthy controls. We found that while DN T cells and CD8+ T cells share many similarities, DN T cells are a unique T cell population, both at the transcriptomic and protein levels. We also show that by using various cytokine combinations, human DN T cells can be expanded in vitro up to 1,000- fold (mean >250-fold) and remain functional post-expansion. In addition, we report that DN T cells from PWT1D display a phenotype comparable to that of healthy controls, efficiently expand, and are highly functional. As DN T cells are immunoregulatory and can prevent T1D in various mouse models, these observations suggest that autologous DN T cells may be amenable to therapy for the prevention or treatment of T1D.

Blood RNA sequencing in HIV-negative healthy volunteers and people living with HIV on effective, long-term anti-retroviral therapy

Project description:Immune activation in people living with HIV on anti-retroviral therapy is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. To identify whether perturbation of immunological pathways persist at systems level, we compared genome-wide whole blood transcriptomes from 26 people living with HIV on long-term anti-retroviral therapy with 12 HIV-negative healthy controls. All participants were Caucasian male adults recruited from London, UK. People living with HIV were on anti-retroviral therapy for a median of 8.5 years (interquartile range 3-16 years). They had undetectable plasma HIV viral load (<40 copies/ml) and median circulating CD4 counts of 703 cells/µl (interquartile range 491-841 cells/µl).

Genetic code expansion reveals site-specific lactylation in living cells reshapes protein function

Project description:Still in its infancy, the functions of lactylation remain elusive. To address this, we established a comprehensive workflow for lactylation studies that integrates the discovery of lactylation sites with proteomics, the expression of site-specifically lactylated proteins in living cells via genetic code expansion (GCE), and the evaluation of the resulting biological consequences. Specifically, we developed a wet-and-dry-lab combined proteomics strategy, and identified highly conserved lactylation at ALDOA-K147. Driven by its potential biological significance, we site-specifically expressed this lactylated ALDOA in mammalian cells and interrogated the biological changes. We discovered that it not only inhibited enzyme activity but also elicited gain-of-function effects——it dramatically reshaped the functionality of ALDOA by improving stability, enhancing nuclear translocation and affecting gene expression. Further, we demonstrated broad applicability of this workflow to study distinct histone lactylation sites. Together, we anticipate its wide uses in elucidating causative links between site-specific lactylation and target-centric or cell-wide changes.

Naive CD4+ T cell expansion defined by CD25 and CD31 expression

Project description:Naive CD4 T cells defined as (TCRab+ CD4+ CD45RA+ CD62L+ CD127+) were further divided by CD25 and CD31 expression with FACS-based flow sorting. Subsequently, gene expression levels of each subset were assessed by using transcription arrays.

Blood plasma from people living with HIV-1 or HIV-2

Project description:In this study we performed data-independet mass-spectrometry analysis of blood plasma collected from a cohort consisting of people living with HIV-1, people living with HIV-2, and HIV seronegative individuals. The data was used to infer signs of damage to a wide array of tissues and cell types.

Different effects of bariatric surgery on epigenetic plasticity in skeletal muscle of individuals with and without type 2 diabetes

Project description:Bariatric surgery is highly effective for the treatment of obesity in individuals without (OB ) and in those with type 2 diabetes (T2D ). However, whether bariatric surgery triggers similar or distinct molecular changes in OB and T2D remains unknown. Given that individuals with type 2 diabetes often exhibit more severe metabolic deterioration, we hypothesized that bariatric surgery induces distinct molecular adaptations in skeletal muscle, the major site of glucose uptake, of OB and T2D after surgery-induced weight loss. All participants (OB, n=13; T2D, n=13) underwent detailed anthropometry before and one year after the surgery. Skeletal muscle biopsies were isolated at both time points and subjected to transcriptome and methylome analyses using a comprehensive bioinformatic pipeline.

Transcription profiling of Strongyloides ratti free-living males and females and parastic and free-living females

Project description:This experiment exploits the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti, which is a parasitic nematode of brown rats that exhibits three adult stages within its life-cycle - parasitic females, freeliving females and free-living males. We use a cDNA microarray to examine patterns of (i) gender-biased gene expression by contrasting free-living females against free-living males, and (ii) parasitic-biased expression by contrasting parasitic females against free-living females. Of the 3688 distinct transcripts represented on our array, 20% exhibited male-biased expression 19% exhibit female-biased expression, 11% exhibit parasitic-biased expression and 8% exhibit free-living-biased expression. Among the top responding genes, an orthologue of major sperm protein is upregulated in males, distinct aspartic protease orthologues are upregulated in either parasitic or in free-living females, and orthologues of hsp-17 chaperone are upregulated in parasitic females. Upon a global analysis of gene expression, we find that female-biased expression is associated with genes involved in reproductive processes and larval development, that male-biased expression is associated with genes involved in metabolism, and that free-living biased expression is associated with genes involved in regulation of body fluids and response to external stimulus. The association of gene ontology with parasite-biased expression is less clear. Our results provide an initial gene expression analysis of gender- and parasite-biased expression in S. ratti, may be more generally applicable to other parasitic nematodes, and may help to refine the search for novel drug or vaccine targets against parasitic nematodes.
