Project description:Mast cells and basophils are developmentally related cells whose activation is a hallmark of allergy. Functionally, mast cells and basophils overlap in their ability to produce several mediators, including histamine and granule proteases, but studies have increasingly demonstrated non-redundant roles. To characterize the transcriptional heterogeneity of mast cells and basophils upon their activation, we performed large-scale comparative microarrays of murine bone marrow–derived mast cells (BMMCs) and basophils (BMBs) at rest, upon an adaptive-type activation (IgE crosslinking), or upon an innate-type activation (IL-33 stimulation). Hierarchical clustering demonstrated that BMMCs and BMBs shared specific activation-associated transcriptional signatures but differed in others, both between cell type and between activation mode. In BMMCs, IgE crosslinking upregulated 785 genes including Egr2, Ccl1, and Fxyd6, while IL-33 stimulation induced 823 genes including Ccl1, Egr2, and Il1b. Focused bioinformatics pathway analysis demonstrated that IgE activation aligned with processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, angiogenesis, and the p53 pathway. The IL-33–activated transcriptome was enriched in genes commonly altered by NF-B in response to TNF, by IL-6 via STAT3, and in response to IFN. Furthermore, BMBs activated via IgE crosslinking selectively induced immune response genes Ccl1, Il3, and Il2 compared to IL-33–stimulated BMBs. Principal-component analysis revealed key cell- and activation-specific clustering. Overall, our data demonstrate that mast cells and basophils have cell- and activation-specific transcriptional responses and suggest that context-specific gene networks and pathways may shape how the immune system responds to allergens and innate cytokines.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms by which C/EBPa drives basophil differentiation and maintains basophil identity, we examined whether or not C/EBPa promotes basophil molecular programming and simultaneously represses mast cell molecular programming. We performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on basophils and mast cells and found that 6798 genes were shared by mast cells and basophils; 2033 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 1-3.3)-fold higher in basophils (differentially expressed in basophils); and 413 genes were expressed greater than 10 (log2 3.3)-fold in basophils (highly expressed in basophils). On the other hand, we found 569 genes were expressed 2-10 (log2 -1 to -3.3) fold higher in mast cells and 171 genes were highly expressed in mast cells [greater than 10 fold (log2 -3.3)]. We treated purified basophils prepared from Cebpaf/f RosaYFP/creER mice and Cebpa+/+ RosaYFP/creER control mice with or without 4HT treatment for five days. Gene expression in the treated basophils was analyzed using microarray analysis. Overall, deletion of C/EBPa in basophils resulted in a reduction of mRNA expression for 248 genes and led to an increase in mRNA expression for 255 genes. The majority of the C/EBPa-regulated genes were either differentially or highly expressed in basophils or mast cells. In this study, we compared gene expression in basophils and mast cell and identified genes which specifically expressed in basophils and mast cells. By using Cebpa conditional knock out mice, we identified Cebpa regulated genes in basophils.

Project description:CD34+ CD117+ cells in human peripheral blood have mast cell-forming capacity. We have identified highly committed mast cell progenitors as Lin- CD34+ CD117 intermediate/high FcεRI+ cells. To explore the gene expression profile of the highly committed mast cell progenitors, we performed whole-transcriptome microarray analyses of the cells and compared them with mature basophils.
