    Transcriptional Control of Tissue-Resident Memory T Cell Generation

    Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Filip Cvetkovski All rights reserved ABSTRACT Transcriptional control of tissue-resident memory T cell generation Filip Cvetkovski Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation. In addition, the gene expression profile of lung CD4+TRM was enriched in gene sets previously described in tissue-resident regulatory T cells. Up-regulation of immunomodulatory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and ICOS, suggested a potential regulatory role for CD4+TRM in tissues. Using loss-of-function genetic experiments in mice, we demonstrate that IRF4 is required for the generation of lung-localized pathogen-specific effector CD4+T cells during acute influenza infection. Influenza-specific IRF4−/− T cells failed to fully express CD44, and maintained high levels of CD62L compared to wild type, suggesting a defect in complete differentiation into lung-tropic effector T cells.

STRIPAK complexes are evolutionarily conserved and have critical roles in protein (de) phosphorylation. Recent studies indicate that STRIPAK complexes are emerging mediators and regulators of multiple vital signaling pathways including Hippo, MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), nuclear receptor and cytoskeleton remodeling. Different types of STRIPAK complexes are extensively involved in a variety of fundamental biological processes ranging from cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis to metabolism, immune regulation and tumorigenesis. Growing evidence correlates dysregulation of STRIPAK complexes with human diseases including cancer. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the assembly and functions of STRIPAK complexes, with a special focus on cell signaling and cancer.

Among them, RASSF7 to RASSF10 have the RA domain in the N-terminal region and are called the N-RASSF proteins. In contradistinction to them, RASSF1 to RASSF6 are referred to as the C-RASSF proteins. The C-RASSF proteins have the RA domain in the middle region and the Salvador/RASSF/Hippo domain in the C-terminal region. RASSF6 additionally harbors the PSD-95/Discs large/ZO-1 (PDZ)-binding motif. Expression of RASSF6 is epigenetically suppressed in human cancers and is generally regarded as a tumor suppressor. RASSF6 induces caspase-dependent and -independent apoptosis. RASSF6 interacts with mammalian Ste20-like kinases (homologs of Drosophila Hippo) and cross-talks with the Hippo pathway. RASSF6 binds MDM2 and regulates p53 expression. The interactions with Ras and Modulator of apoptosis 1 (MOAP1) are also suggested by heterologous protein-protein interaction experiments. RASSF6 regulates apoptosis and cell cycle through these protein-protein interactions, and is implicated in the NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways.

Although profiling of 7 cancer cell lines was performed using oligo- previous studies have identified numerous mechanisms in nucleotide microarray analysis data obtained from the GEO cisplatin resistance, it remains a major problem that severely database. Bioinformatic analyses such as the Gene Ontology limits the usefulness of this chemotherapeutic agent. Therefore, (GO) and KEGG pathway were used to identify genes and it is crucial to examine more elaborate mechanisms of cisplatin pathways specifically associated with cisplatin resistance.

However, Edited by: replication and confirmation of QTL effects are required particularly in African chicken Younes Miar, Dalhousie University, populations. This study identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and putative Canada genes responsible for body weight (BW) and antibody response (AbR) to Newcastle Reviewed by: disease (ND) in Rwanda indigenous chicken (IC) using genome-wide association studies Sayed Haidar Abbas, Northwest A & F University, China (GWAS). Multiple testing was corrected using chromosomal false detection rates of 5 and Suxu Tan, 10% for significant and suggestive thresholds, respectively. BioMart data mining and Michigan State University, variant effect predictor tools were used to annotate SNPs and candidate genes, respectively.
