Calcineurin-NFAT signaling controls neutrophils' ability of chemoattraction upon fungal infectionJournal of leukocyte biology · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cell (CN-NFAT) inhibitors are widely clinically used drugs for immunosuppression but besides their required T-cell response inhibition, they also undesirably affect innate immune cells. Disruption of innate immune cell function can explain the observed susceptibility of CN-NFAT inhibitors-treated patients to opportunistic fungal infections.

Neutrophils play a crucial role in the innate immunity pathogen defense, while however the effect of CN-NFAT inhibitors on neutrophil function is poorly described. Thus, we tested the response of human neutrophils to fungal pathogens, namely Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus in the presence of CN-NFAT inhibitors. We report that the NFAT pathway members are expressed in neutrophils and mediates part of the neutrophil response to pathogens. Upon pathogen exposure, neutrophils underwent profound transcriptomic changes. Importantly, genes involved in the regulation of the immune response and chemotaxis, including the chemokines CCL2 , CCL3, and CCL4 were significantly upregulated. The presence of CN-NFAT inhibitors attenuated the expression of these chemokines and impaired the ability of neutrophils to chemoattract other immune cells. Our results amend knowledge about the impact of CN-NFAT inhibition in human neutrophils.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE259282_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1080579 and SRA study SRP491769. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
24 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 24 sample titles: 24 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
