View SamplesMacrophages are cells of the innate immune system with the ability to phagocytose and induce a global pattern of responses that depend on several signalling pathways. We have determined the biosignature of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages and human blood monocytes using transcriptomics and proteomics approaches. We identified a common pattern of genes transcriptionally regulated that overall indicate that the response to B. burgdorferi involves the interaction of spirochetal antigens with several inflammatory pathways corresponding to primary (triggered by pattern recognition receptors) and secondary (induced by proinflammatory cytokines) responses. We also show that the Toll-like receptor family member, CD180 is downregulated by the stimulation of macrophages, but not monocytes, with the spirochete. Silencing Cd180 results in increased phagocytosis while tempering the production of the proinflammatory cytokine, TNF. Cd180-silenced cells produced increased levels of Itgam and surface CD11b, suggesting that the regulation of CD180 by the spirochete initiates a cascade that increases the CR3-mediated phagocytosis of the bacterium while repressing the consequent inflammatory response.

Overall design: Genome-wide changes in gene Expression in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages stimulated with Borrelia burgdorferi or left unstimulated were generated by RNAseq.

View SamplesSalp15, a salivary protein of Ixodes ticks, inhibits the activation of naïve CD4 T cells. Treatment with Salp15 results in immunomodulation in different murine models in which these cells participate. The fate of the CD4 T cells activated in the presence of the immunosuppressor or its long-term effects on these cells are however, unknown. We now show that Salp15 binding to CD4 is persistent and induces a long-lasting immunomodulatory effect. The activity of Salp15 results in sustained diminished antibody production against specific and unrelated antigens. Transcriptionally, the salivary protein provokes a sharp acute effect that includes known activation factors, such as Il2, Cd44, or Il2ra, and that fades over time. The long-term effects exerted by Salp15 do not involve the induction of either anergy traits nor increased populations of regulatory T cells. Similarly, the treatment with the immunomodulatory protein does not result in B cell anergy or the generation of myeloid suppressor cells. However, the immunomodulatory protein induces the increased expression of the ectoenzyme, CD73, in regulatory T cells. Our results suggest that the specific regulation of CD73, a known modulator of adenosine levels, by Salp15 results in long-term cross-antigenic immunomodulatory effects. Overall design: Genome-wide changes in gene Expression in mouse CD4 T cells activated with anti-CD3/CD28 in the presence of 25 ug/mL of the tick salivary protein, Salp15 or its inactive control (Salp15deltaP11) were generated by RNAseq.
The immunosuppressive effect of the tick protein, Salp15, is long-lasting and persists in a murine model of hematopoietic transplant.

View SamplesThis study aimed to characterize differences in gene expression in piglets inoculated with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), the essential causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Comparisons between control and PCV2-inoculated pigs were done at five different time points: 1, 2, 5, 8, and 29 days post-inoculation.
