Project description:HIV-specific T cells have diminished effector function and fail to control/eliminate the virus. IL-27, a member of the IL-6/IL-12 cytokine superfamily has been shown to inhibit HIV replication however whether IL-27 can enhance function on HIV-specific T cell is largely unknown. Because of the important implication in cure strategies, in the present manuscript, we investigated the role of IL-27 signaling in human T cells by evaluating the global transcriptional changes and its impact in the function of HIV-specific T cells. We found that T cells from people living with HIV (PLWH), expressed higher levels of STAT1 that leads to enhanced STAT1 activation upon IL-27 stimulation. IL-27 induced transcriptional changes associated with IFN/STAT1-dependent pathways in CD4 and CD8 T cells. More importantly, IL-27 promoted cytokine secretion of TIGIT+HIVGag-specific T cell function by modulating the expression levels of T-bet. This new immunomodulatory property of IL-27 on HIV-specific T cell function suggests its potential therapeutic use in cure strategies.

Project description:Intracellular pathogens including the apicomplexan and opportunistic parasite Toxoplasma gondii profoundly modify their host cells in order to establish infection. We have shown previously that intracellular T. gondii inhibit up-regulation of regulatory and effector functions in murine macrophages (MΦ) stimulated with interferon (IFN)-γ, which is the cytokine crucial for controlling the parasites’ replication. Using genome-wide transcriptome analysis we show herein that infection with T. gondii leads to global unresponsiveness of murine macrophages to IFN-γ. More than 61% and 89% of the transcripts, which were induced or repressed by IFN-γ in non-infected MΦ, respectively, were not altered after stimulation of T. gondii-infected cells with IFN-γ. These genes are involved in a variety of biological processes, which are mostly but not exclusively related to immune responses. Analyses of the underlying mechanisms revealed that IFN-γ-triggered nuclear translocation of STAT1 still occurred in Toxoplasma-infected MΦ. However, STAT1 bound aberrantly to oligonucleotides containing the IFN-γ-responsive gamma-activated site (GAS) consensus sequence. Conversely, IFN-γ did not induce formation of active GAS-STAT1 complexes in nuclear extracts from infected MΦ. Mass spectrometry of protein complexes bound to GAS oligonucleotides showed that T. gondii-infected MΦ are unable to recruit non-muscle actin to IFN-γ-responsive DNA sequences, which appeared to be independent of stimulation with IFN-γ and of STAT1 binding. IFN-γ-induced recruitment of BRG-1 and acetylation of core histones at the IFN-γ-regulated CIITA promoter IV, but not β-actin was diminished by >90% in Toxoplasma-infected MΦ as compared to non-infected control cells. Remarkably, treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors restored the ability of infected macrophages to express the IFN-γ regulated genes H2-A/E and CIITA. Taken together, these results indicate that Toxoplasma-infected MΦ are unable to respond to IFN-γ due to disturbed chromatin remodelling, but can be rescued using histone deacetylase inhibitors. Comparison of 4 different RNA pools with a 2-Color-Loop Design including 10 microarrays: [1] T. gondii infected and IFN-gamma treated, [2] T. gondii infected and untreated, [3] Non-infected and IFN-gamma treated, and [4] Non-infected and untreated.

Project description:TIGIT+ Tregs suppress Th1 and Th17 responses while sparing Th2 responses. Analysis of global gene expression of TIGIT+ vs. TIGIT- Tregs from naive mice reveled that TIGIT+ Tregs display an activated phenotype and are enriched for Treg signature genes including the Treg effector molecule Fgl2 which enables them to selectively spare Th2 responses. TIGIT+ and TIGIT- Tregs were sorted from naïve Foxp3-GFP KI mice (pooled spleen and lymph nodes) TIGIT: T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains

Project description:A single high dose of IFN? activates powerful cellular responses in which many antiviral, pro-apoptotic, and anti-proliferative proteins are highly expressed. Since some of these proteins are deleterious, cells down-regulate this initial response rapidly. However, the expression of many antiviral proteins that do no harm is sustained, prolonging a substantial part of the initial antiviral response for days and also providing resistance to DNA damage. While the transcription factor ISGF3 (IRF9 and tyrosine-phosphorylated STATs 1 and 2) drives the first rapid response phase, the related factor un-phosphorylated ISGF3 (U-ISGF3), formed by IFN?-induced high levels of IRF9 and STATs 1 and 2 without tyrosine phosphorylation, drives the second prolonged response. The U-ISGF3-induced antiviral genes that show prolonged expression are driven by distinct interferon stimulated response elements (ISREs). Continuous exposure of cells to a low level of IFN?, often seen in cancers, leads to steady-state increased expression of only the U-ISGF3-dependent proteins, with no sustained increase of other IFN?-induced proteins, and to constitutive resistance to DNA damage. We classified genes into U-ISGF3-induced genes and classical ISGF3-induced genes using microarray data. We identified 150 genes that are up-regulated by IFN? after 6 h. Among these IFN?-induced genes, only 29 (20%) were induced by the up-regulation of Y701F-STAT1, indicating that these are induced by U-ISGF3. Among the remaining 121 IFN?-induced genes (150 minus 29), 73 are induced by IFN? as well as IFN?, and 48 are induced only by IFN?. Total 5 RNA samples were analyzed in duplicate on microarray chips. Untreated cells and empty vector-transfected cells were the control of IFN treated cells and Y701F-STAT1-transfected cells, respectively.

Project description:Type 1 IFNs can conditionally activate all of the signal transducers and activators of transcription molecules (STATs), including STAT4. The best-characterized signaling pathways use STAT1, however, and type 1 IFN inhibition of cell proliferation is STAT1 dependent. We report that type 1 IFNs can basally stimulate STAT1- and STAT4- dependent effects in CD8 T cells, but that CD8 T cells responding to infections of mice with lymphocytic choriomenigitis virus have elevated STAT4 and lower STAT1 expression with significant consequences for modifying the effects of type 1 IFN exposure. The phenotype was associated with preferential type 1 IFN activation of STAT4 as compared to STAT1. Stimulation through the TCR induced elevated STAT4 expression, and STAT4 was required for peak expansion of antigen-specific CD8 T cells, low STAT1 levels, and resistance to type 1 IFN-mediated inhibition of proliferation. Thus, a mechanism is discovered for regulating the consequences of type 1 IFN exposure in CD8 T cells, with STAT4 acting as a key molecule in driving optimal antigen-specific responses and overcoming STAT1-dependent inhibition of proliferation. CD8 T cells were purified from uninfected WT, STAT1-deficient and STAT4-deficient mice or from D8 LCMV-infected WT mice and either control treated or treated with 1x104 U mouse IFNalpha for 90 minutes.

Project description:Purpose: We found that IFN-g and IL-27 had suppressive effects on ILC2s cultured with IL-33. The goal of this study is to clarify the expressions of RNA induced by IFN-g and IL-27 in ILC2s. Methods: ILC2s were isolated from fat-asociated lymphid clusters (FALC) of wild-type mice. They were cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs. RNA was isolated by Allprep DNA/RNA Micro Kit (QIAGEN), and cDNA libraries were prepared by TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation kits v2 (Illumina) according to the manufacturerâs low sample protocol. A HiSeq 1500 system (Illumina) was used for 50 single-end bases (50SE)ãsequencing. Results: Sequenced reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and masked for low-complexity or low-quality sequence, then mapped to the reference genome (mm9) using Bowtie2 v2.1.0 and TopHat2 v2.0.8. The transcript abundances were estimated as FPKM (fragments per kilobase of exon million fragments mapped) value using Cufflinks v2.1.1. We found that both IL-27 and IFN-g upregulated the expression of STAT1 and IRF1 which are regulated downstream of IFN-g receptor signaling, but there was no difference in the expression of GATA3, a critical transcription factor for ILC2 functions. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed differences of RNA expressions by RNA-seq technology. RNA-Seq analysis of ILC2s cultured with IL-33 (10ng/ml), IL-33 + IFN-g (10ng/ml), or IL-33 + IL-27 (10ng/ml) for 48hrs.

Project description:IL-27 is a potent antagonist of TH1-mediated inflammation, but the basis for this effect is not fully understood. Recent studies identified a population of T-bet+ CXCR3+ Treg that limit TH1-mediated immune pathology. The studies presented here demonstrate that IL-27-mediated STAT1 activation promotes Treg expression of T-bet and CXCR3. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii induced a similar Treg population that limits T cell responses and this population at mucosal sites is IL-27-dependent. Furthermore, transfer of Treg ameliorated the infection-induced CD4+ T cell-mediated pathology observed in IL-27p28-/- mice. Although IFN-γ promoted a similar population of cells in the periphery, it did not compensate for the absence of IL-27 at mucosal sites and microarray analysis revealed that Treg exposed to either cytokine have distinct transcriptional profiles. These findings suggest that IFN-γ and IL-27 have different roles in Treg biology but define IL-27 as a key cytokine that promotes the development of Treg specialized to control TH1 immunity. Three conditions were analyzed across two timepoints. Inducible regulatory T cells (iTreg) were generated in vitro in the presence of IL-27, IFNg or under 'Neutral' conditions as a control. Samples were collected at 10 hours and 2 days during the culture period. Three biological replicates were used for each condition.
