This study is designed to compare and contrast the temporal and spatial changes in bone formation rates and transcriptional profiles in cortical and cancellous bone cell populations enriched by laser capture microdissection (LCM) in ovariectomized rats administered Scl-Ab by subcutaneous injection for up to 26 consecutive weeks, followed by a recovery period of up to 18 weeks.

View SamplesA number of autoimmunity-associated MHC class II proteins interact only weakly with the invariant chain-derived class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP). CLIP dissociates rapidly from I-Ag7 even in the absence of DM, and this property is related to the type 1 diabetes-associated b57 polymorphism. We generated knock-in Non-obese Diabetic (NOD) mice with a single amino acid change in the CLIP segment of invariant chain in order to moderately slow CLIP dissociation from I-Ag7. These knock-in mice had a significantly reduced incidence of spontaneous type 1 diabetes and diminished islet infiltration by CD4 T cells, in particular T cells specific for fusion peptides generated by covalent linkage of proteolytic fragments within b cell secretory granules. Rapid CLIP dissociation enhanced presentation of such extracellular peptides, thus bypassing the conventional MHC class II antigen processing pathway. Autoimmunity-associated MHC class II polymorphisms therefore not only modify binding of self-peptides, but also alter the biochemistry of peptide acquisition. Overall design: Mouse pancreatic tissue was digested by collagenase, and islets were isolated and dissociated into single cells. Beta-cell-specific CD4 T cells were single-cell sorted by FACS based on tetramer labeling, and individual cells were profiled with a modified full length SMART-Seq2 protocol.
Rapid CLIP dissociation from MHC II promotes an unusual antigen presentation pathway in autoimmunity.
