Dietary gluten proteins (prolamins) from wheat, rye, and barley are the driving forces behind celiac disease, an organ-specific autoimmune disorder that targets both the small intestine and organs outside the gut. In the small intestine, gluten induces inflammation and a typical morphological change of villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia. Gut lesions improve and heal when gluten is excluded from the diet and the disease relapses when patients consume gluten. Oral immune tolerance towards gluten may be kept for years or decades before breaking tolerance in genetically susceptible individuals. Celiac disease provides a unique opportunity to study autoimmunity and the transition in immune cells as gluten breaks oral tolerance. Seventy-three celiac disease patients on a long-term gluten-free diet ingested a known amount of gluten daily for six weeks. A peripheral blood sample and intestinal biopsies were taken before and six weeks after initiating the gluten challenge. Biopsy results were reported on a continuous numeric scale that measured the villus height to crypt depth ratio to quantify gluten-induced gut mucosal injury. Pooled B and T cells were isolated from whole blood, and RNA was analyzed by DNA microarray looking for changes in peripheral B- and T-cell gene expression that correlated with changes in villus height to crypt depth, as patients maintained or broke oral tolerance in the face of a gluten challenge.

View SamplesWe isolated and selected intestinal adenoma organoids from Apcmin/+; Rosa26LSL-TdTomato; Prox1-CreERT2 mice. After the selection procedure without growth factors, we induced CreERT2 activity and the transcription of tdTomato to label Prox1+ cells by 300 nM 4-hydroxytamoxifen for 16h. tdTomato+ (Prox1+) and tdTomato- cells (enriched for Prox1- cells) were FACS sorted and total RNA was isolated.

View SamplesTET proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and further oxidation products in DNA. Here we report that simultaneous deletion of Tet2 and Tet3 in mouse double-positive thymocytes resulted in dysregulated development and proliferation of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Tet2-Tet3-double-deficient (DKO) iNKT cells displayed pronounced skewing towards the NKT17 lineage, with increased DNA methylation and impaired expression of genes encoding the key lineage-specifying factors T-bet and ThPOK. Transfer of purified Tet2-Tet3 DKO iNKT cells into immunocompetent recipient mice resulted in uncontrolled expansion dependent on the nonclassical MHC protein CD1d, which presents lipid antigens to iNKT cells. Our data indicate that TET proteins regulate iNKT cell fate by ensuring proper development and maturation and suppressing aberrant T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated proliferation. Overall design: DKO vs. wild type
TET proteins regulate the lineage specification and TCR-mediated expansion of iNKT cells.

Overall design: Total RNA from naive CD4+ T cells was compared to total RNA from cells cultured in the following three conditions: activating (antiCD3+antiCD28)+antiIL4+antiIFNG; activating (antiCD3+antiCD28)+IL12+antiIL4; activating (antiCD3+antiCD28) +IL4+antiIFNG. Samples from 3 biological replicates were analysed.
