View SamplesVanin1, a regulator of vitamin B5 metabolism, is expressed by sarcoma tumors. We evaluated its impact on sarcoma growth by using sarcoma cell lines derived from p16p19Vnn1-deficient mice and further transduced with an oncogenic RasV12 oncogene (R tumors) in the presence or not of a catalytically active (VR tumors) or mutated (VdR tumors) Vnn1 isoform.
Vnn1 pantetheinase limits the Warburg effect and sarcoma growth by rescuing mitochondrial activity.

View SamplesNumerous microRNAs and their target mRNAs are co-expressed across diverse cell types. However, it is unknown whether they are regulated in a cellular context-independent or -dependent manner. Here, we explored transcriptome-wide targeting and gene regulation by miR-155, whose activation-induced expression plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Through mapping of miR-155 targets using differential Argonaute iCLIP, mRNA quantification with RNA-Seq, and 3'UTR usage analysis using polyadenylation (polyA)-Seq in activated miR-155-sufficient and deficient macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, we identified numerous targets differentially bound by miR-155. While alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) contributed to differential miR-155 binding to some transcripts, in a majority of cases identical 3'UTR isoforms were differentially regulated across cell types, suggesting ApA-independent and cellular context-dependent miR-155-mediated gene regulation reminiscent of sequence-specific transcription factors. Our study provides comprehensive maps of miR-155 regulatory RNA networks and offers a valuable resource for dissecting context-dependent and -independent miRNA-mediated gene regulation in key cell types of the adaptive and innate immune systems. Overall design: Primary dendritic cells, B cells, CD4 T cells, and macrophages from C57BL/6J wild type and miR-155 KO mice were cultured in RPMI medium with 10% FBS. Prior to harvesting primary dendritic cells, mice were subcutaneously injected with one million B16 melanoma cells expressing Flt3 ligand for about two weeks. After purification of splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells by CD11c microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec), dendritic cells were activated in a medium containing 100 ng/ml LPS (SIGMA) and 20 ng/ml GMSCF (Tonbo). Splenic primary B cells were purified by negative selection using Dynabeads Mouse CD43 (Invitrogen), and activated in a medium containing 25 ug/ml LPS and 6.5 ng/ml mIL4 (PeproTech). CD4 T cells from lymph node and spleen were purified with Dynabeads FlowComp Kit (Invitrogen). CD4+CD25-CD44- T cells were then activated with Dynabeads Mouse T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Invitrogen). Intraperitoneal macrophages, induced by thioglycollate injection, were harvested and activated with 100 ng/ml LPS.

View SamplesRegulatory T (Treg) cells, expressing abundant amounts of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), are reliant on IL-2 produced by activated T cells. This feature implied a key role for a simple network based on IL-2 consumption by Treg cells in their suppressor function. However, congenital deficiency in IL-2R results in reduced expression of the Treg lineage specification factor Foxp3, confounding experimental efforts to understand the role of IL-2R expression and signaling in Treg suppressor function. Using genetic gain and loss of function approaches, we demonstrate that IL-2 capture is dispensable for control of CD4+ T cells, but is important for limiting CD8+ T cell activation, and that IL-2R dependent STAT5 transcription factor activation plays an essential role in Treg suppressor function separable from T cell receptor signaling. Overall design: Gene expression profiles in Treg cells with or without an expression of an active form of STAT5 were compared by RNA sequencing. Male 8-wk-old Foxp3Cre-ERT2Rosa26Stat5bCA (STAT5b-CA) and Foxp3Cre-ERT2 (control) mice, nine mice for each experimental group, received a single dose (4 mg) of tamoxifen by oral gavage 4 months before isolation. Splenic CD4+Foxp3(YFP/GFP)+GITRhiCD25hi Treg and CD4+Foxp3(YFP/GFP)-CD62LhiCD44lo T naive cells were double sorted using a BD FACSAria II cell sorter. The T cell subsets isolated from three individual mice in the same experimental group (genotype) was pooled into one biological replicate; three biological replicates were generated. A total of 12 samples, i.e., two genotypes, two cell cypes, and three replicates, was subjected to RNA-seq analysis. Samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 to an average depth of 27.5 million 50-bp read pairs per sample.
