Description
CD1d expression by thymocytes is required to select iNKT cells. When CD1d is expressed only on thymocytes (pLck-CD1d tg mice), iNKT cells are hyperresponsive to antigen stimulation suggesting that, in physiological conditions, these cells undergo functional education mediated by additional CD1d-expressing cells. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of this functional education. We find that peripheral iNKT cells from pLck-CD1d tg mice express significantly less SHP-1, a tyrosine phosphatase negatively regulating TCR signaling, than WT cells. iNKT cells from heterozygous SHP-1-mutated motheaten mice, displaying similar SHP-1 reduction as pLck-CD1d tg iNKT cells, are antigen-hyperresponsive. Restoring normal CD1d expression in pLck-CD1d tg mice normalizes SHP-1 expression and responsiveness of iNKT cells. In WT mice, iNKT cells upregulate SHP-1 and decrease responsiveness upon emigration from thymus to periphery. This depends on contacts with CD1d-expressing DCs. iNKT cell functional education is therefore controlled by DCs via tuning SHP-1 expression level in the periphery.

Description
A complex network of inflammation succeeds somatic cell transformation and malignant disease. Immune cells and their associated molecules are responsible for detecting and eliminating cancer cells as they establish themselves as the precursors of a tumour. By the time a patient has a detectable solid tumour, cancer cells have escaped the initial immune response mechanisms. To date, no model exists to allow us to study the underlying mechanisms that govern the initial phase of the immune response as cells are transformed to become the precursors of cancer. Here we describe the development of an innovative double binary animal model designed in zebrafish for exploring regulatory programming of the myeloid cells as they respond to oncogenic transformed melanocytes. This modular system harnesses the power of zebrafish genetics. For studies of melanocyte transformation we generated a hormone-inducible binary system allowing for temporal control of different Ras-oncogene (NRasK61Q, HRasG12V, KRasG12V) expression in melanocytes allowing us to truly study melanoma initiation. This binary model was then coupled to a model for regulatory profiling of the active transcriptome of macrophages and neutrophils which is based on the in vivo biotinylation of nuclei and their subsequent isolation by streptavidin affinity purification. For the first time regulatory profiling of neutrophils as they respond to the earliest precursors of melanoma, revealed a number of factors upregulated in neutrophils that may promote progression to melanoma including fgf1, fgf6, cathepsin H, cathepsin L, galectin 1 and galectin 3. Overall design: We report the design of a double binary approach in zebrafish to study the neutrophil response to transformed melanocytes. By coupling a novel inducible model for melanocyte transformation to a model for the in vivo biotinylation of neutrophil nuclei we can isolate the neutrophil nuclei directly from the in vivo context allowing for RNA-seq analysis of the active transcriptome.

Description
Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are among of the most important food-borne pathogens. Recently, a highly invasive multi-drug resistant S. Typhimurium of a distinct multilocus sequence type (MLST), ST313, has emerged across sub-Saharan Africa as a major cause of lethal bacteraemia in children and immunosuppressed adults. Encounters between dendritic cells (DCs) and invading bacteria determine the course of infection but whether or how ST313 might usurp DC mediated defence has not been reported. Here we utilised fluorescently labelled invasive and non-invasive strains of Salmonella combined with single-cell RNA sequencing to study the transcriptomes of individual infected and bystander DCs. The transcriptomes displayed a repertoire of cell instrinsic and extrinsic innate response states that differed between invasive and non-invasive strains. Gene expression heterogeneity was increased in DCs challenged with invasive Salmonella. DCs exposed but not harbouring invasive Salmonella exhibited a hyper-activated profile that likely facilitates trafficking of infected cells and dissemination of internalised intact bacteria. In contrast, invasive Salmonella containing DCs demonstrate reprogramming of trafficking genes required to avoid autophagic destruction. Furthermore, these cells displayed differential expression of tolerogenic IL10 and MARCH1 enabling CD83 mediated adaptive immune evasion. Altogether our data illustrate pathogen cell-to cell variability directed by a Salmonella invasive strain highlighting potential mechanisms of host adaption with implications for dissemination in vivo. Overall design: Single-cell RNA sequencing (SMARTSeq2) of 373 human monocyte derived dendritic cells infected with S. Typhimurium strain LT2 or D23580 or left uninfected

Description
Tumor protein p53 is a key regulator of several cellular pathways, including DNA repair, cell cycle and angiogenesis. Kevetrin exhibits p53-dependent as well as independent activity in solid tumors, while its effects on leukemic cells remain unknown. We analyzed the response of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines (TP53 wild-type: OCI-AML3 and MOLM-13; and TP53-mutant: KASUMI-1 and NOMO-1) to kevetrin at a concentration range of 85-340 μM. Kevetrin induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis in all cell lines and in primary cells, with TP53-mutant models displaying a higher sensitivity and p53 induction. Gene expression profiling revealed a common core transcriptional program altered by drug exposure and the downregulation of glycolysis, DNA repair and unfolded protein response signatures. These findings suggest that kevetrin may be a promising therapeutic option for patients with both wild-type and TP53-mutant AML.
