Project description:The nature of autoantigens that trigger autoimmune diseases has been much discussed but direct biochemical identification is lacking for most. Addressing this question demands unbiased examination of the self-peptides displayed by a defined autoimmune MHC-II molecule. We have examined the immunopeptidome of the pancreatic islets of the NOD mouse that spontaneously develops autoimmune diabetes based on its MHC-II, the I-Ag7 variant. The relevant peptides that induced early CD4 T cells derived from insulin and C-peptide; these were also found in the MHC-II peptidome of the pancreatic lymph node and spleen. The insulin-derived peptides followed a trajectory from internal processing in beta cells to exocytosis, uptake, and presentation in islets and peripheral sites. Such process not only generated conventional epitopes but also resulted in presentation of post-translationally modified peptides, including deamidated and fused sequences. These analyses reveal the key features of a restricted component in the self-MHC-II peptidome causing autoreactivity.

Project description:The HIV-1 genome gains access to the inside of a cell via the mechanism of the viral spike protein Env, which undergoes a series of major conformational rearrangements after binding target receptors that ultimately drive virus-cell membrane fusion. Env is expressed as a heterogenous ensemble of conformations, which can inappropriately misdirect the host immune response towards the production of non-protective, strain-specific antibodies. Potent, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) frequently recognize a ‘closed’ Env conformation, and therefore Env has undergone significant engineering to stabilize the closed state for vaccine incorporation. Previously, we used deep mutational scanning of Env from a prototypical tier 1 clade B strain (BaL) to characterize the sequence-activity landscape for binding to PG16, a bnAb that preferentially binds the closed state. Mutations were identified that increased expression of closed Env and reduced conformational heterogeneity, but these mutations were only partially transferable to Env sequences from other strains. To generate an expanded set of mutations that may be broadly applicable to diverse HIV-1 strains, we present here the deep mutational scanning of Env from the tier 2 clade C strain DU422 for interactions with CD4 and PG16. Residues across the trimerization domain and trimer interface have low mutational tolerance for maintaining PG16 recognition. New mutations are identified that enhance presentation of the closed Env conformation, and these are applied to Env sequences spanning multiple clades and tiers.

Project description:Distinct processes govern the transition from myometrial quiescence to activation during both term and preterm labor. We sought the specific gene sets responsible for initiating term and preterm labor, along with a core set of effector genes necessary for labor independent of gestational age and the underlying trigger. The Effector Gene Set consisted of 49 genes present in both preterm and term labor but absent from non-labor samples. 122 genes were specific to preterm labor (Preterm Initiator Set) and 229 to term labor (Term Initiator Set). The Term Initiator and the Effector Sets reflected predominantly inflammatory processes. Surprisingly, the Preterm Initiator Gene Set reflected molecular and biological events almost exclusive of inflammation. Preterm and term labor differ dramatically in their unique, initiator gene profiles, suggesting alternative pathways underlie these events. Inflammatory processes are ubiquitous to the Term Initiator and the Effector Gene Sets, supporting the idea term parturition is an inflammatory process. The absence of inflammatory processes in the Preterm Initiator Set suggests inflammation is secondary to processes triggering spontaneous preterm birth, and could explain the lack of therapeutic efficacy associated with anti inflammatory/antibiotic regimens.

Project description:HIV-1 infection begins with binding of the viral envelope glycoprotein Env to the host receptor CD4, triggering a series of conformational changes that lead to fusion of the virus and cell membranes. Env, a trimer of gp120 and gp41 subunits, occupies a ‘closed’ conformation with contacts between gp120 subunits at the apex, and transitions through an ‘open’ conformation with the gp120 subunits spread apart following CD4 binding. Using deep mutational scanning, sequence-fitness landscapes were mapped for full-length Env from the clade B BaL strain interacting with CD4, and broadly neutralizing antibodies VRC01 and PG16, which preferentially bind closed Env. Contacting residues are conserved for CD4 binding, and glycosylation at N262 is critical for accessing the high-affinity CD4-bound state. By comparison, VRC01 binding is resistant to most single amino acid substitutions, an ideal quality in a broadly neutralizing antibody. Also in contrast to CD4 interaction, Env interfacial residues are under tight selection for PG16 binding to maintain a closed conformation. Screening for mutations that enhanced PG16 binding, we identified several important sites, in particular neutralization of the electropositive apical cavity that we hypothesize promotes trimer opening by electrostatic repulsion. Mutations were combined to generate Quaternary Epitope Stabilized (QES) mutants with enhanced presentation of the PG16 epitope, and the mutations were partially transferable to other HIV-1 strains. These mutational analyses offer insight into Env conformational stabilization that may assist immunogen design.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs between 18-23nts in size which regulate the translation and stability of target mRNAs. miRNAs are present in dietary plants and are conventionally thought to be degraded during the gastrointestinal digestion process. Recent reports suggest that a few dietary microRNAs may exhibit resistance to this process, enter systemic circulation and exert biological effects on animal physiology, currently known as cross-kingdom regulation. However, such horizontal transfer of miRNAs via different kingdoms is highly likely for miRNAs that are present intrinsic extracellular vesicles which increases their bioavailability. These vesicular structures from plants are known as Exosome-like nanovesicles (ENV). ENVs have been isolated from several edible plants. ENV-derived miRNAs are probably more bioavailable and are spontaneously absorbed in intestinal epithelium to suppress target transcripts in human/microbial/viral kingdoms. Such cross-kingdom regulation exhibited by ENV-miRNAs, if properly investigated and validated, may aid in the development of non-toxic and cost-effective therapeutics to treat human diseases. In this line, we purified ENVs from four edible plants (Soy bean, ginger, amla and turmeric). Small RNA population from these ENVs were isolated and profiled through small RNA sequencing to identify ENV-associated miRNAs enriched in each species.

Project description:N-glycans, which represent >50% mass of the HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimer, play important roles for virus-cell entry and immune evasion. How each glycan unit interacts to shape the Env protein-sugar complex and affects Env function is not well understood. Here, high-resolution glycomics analysis of two Env variants from the same donor, with differing functional characteristics and N-glycosylation-site composition, revealed that changes to key N-glycosylation-site not only affected the Env structure at distant locations, but also had a ripple effect on Env-wide glycan processing, virus infectivity, and antibody recognition and virus neutralization. Specifically, the N262 glycan, although not located in the CD4-binding site, controlled Env binding to the CD4 receptor, affected the recognition of Env by several glycan-dependent broadly neutralizing antibodies, and altered heterogeneity of glycosylation at several sites, with N156, N160, and N448 displaying limited glycan processing. Molecular dynamic simulations visualized how specific oligosaccharide positions can move to compensate for loss of a glycan. This study demonstrates how changes in individual glycan units can alter molecular dynamics and processing of the Env-glycan shield and, consequently, Env function.

Project description:CD4 T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are essential for establishing serological memory and have distinct helper attributes that impact both the quantity and quality of the antibody response. Therefore, gaining insights into Tfh subsets promoting antibody persistence and functional capacity is crucial for vaccine design. We investigated the potential of inducing a mixed Tfh1/17 response to enhance HIV-1 Envelope (Env) antibodies to a DNA-prime/protein boost platform, utilizing rhesus macaques as our experimental model. Following immunization with Clade C gp140 protein formulated with cationic liposome-based formulation (CAF01), we successfully generated germinal center (GC) Tfh1/17 cells, in contrast to the predominance of GC Tfh1 cells induced with gp140 formulated in monophosphoryl lipid A+QS-21 (MPLA). Analysis of lymph nodes, employing proteomic and transcriptional approaches, demonstrated robust induction of GC responses across vaccine platforms with distinct qualitative and quantitative effects elicited by MPLA versus CAF01. While the induction of GC Tfh1 cells with MPLA and GC Tfh1/17 cells with CAF01 resulted in comparable peak HIV-Env antibody levels, there was a notable difference in antibody persistence. The MPLA group demonstrated significantly greater antibody persistence at week 8 and up to 30 weeks after final immunization compared to CAF01. Inducing GC Tfh1 cells with MPLA furthermore enhanced tier 1 neutralization titers, antibody functions, and Env-specific IgG in the rectal mucosa. Notably, IFNγ+ Env-specific Tfh responses, both in blood and lymph nodes, were higher with MPLA and correlated with Env antibody persistence. These findings suggest that vaccine platforms maximizing GC Tfh1 induction may confer protective immunity against HIV.
