Transcription profiling of mature, naive B cells to investigate how the PTPN22 autoimmune susceptibility gene affects the removal of human developing autoreactive B cells.

ABSTRACT: Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene segregates with most autoimmune diseases; its risk allele encodes overactive PTPN22 phosphatases that alter B cell receptor (BCR) signaling potentially involved in the regulation of central B cell tolerance. To assess whether PTPN22 risk allele affects the removal of developing autoreactive B cells, we tested by ELISA the reactivity of recombinant antibodies isolated from single B cells from asymptomatic healthy individuals carrying one or two PTPN22 risk allele(s). We found that new emigrant/transitional and mature naive B cells from PTPN22 risk allele carriers contained high frequencies of autoreactive clones compared to non-carrier control donors. Hence, a single PTPN22 risk allele has a dominant effect on altering autoreactive B cell counterselection, suggesting that early B cell tolerance checkpoint defects precede the onset of autoimmunity. In addition, gene array experiments comparing mature naÃ¯ve B cells from healthy individuals carrying or not PTPN22 risk allele(s) revealed that the strength of association of PTPN22 for autoimmunity, second in importance only to the MHC, may not only be due to BCR signaling alteration but also to the regulation of other genes, which themselves have also been identified as involved in the development of autoimmune diseases. The PTPN22 risk allele is a single nucleotide change (cytidine to thymidine) at residue 1858, which results in a single amino acid substitution from arginine to tryptophan at position 620 of the PTPN22/Lyp protein. Data from mature naÃ¯ve B cell populations from patients carrying 1 or 2 PTPN22 T alleles and non-carrier patients were compared in order to characterize the impact of PTPN22 polymorphism on B cell physiology. RNA was extracted from batch-sorted CD19+CD10-CD21+CD27- conventional mature naive B cells using the Absolutely RNA microprep kit (Stratagene). 100-200 ng of RNA was obtained per sample, and the quality of the purified RNA was assessed by the Bioanalyzer from Agilent. Using the Ovation biotin system kit from Nugen, 30-50ng of RNA was amplified and labeled to produce cDNA. Labeled cDNA was hybridized on chips containing the whole human genome (Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 from Affymetrix).

Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene polymorphisms are associated with many autoimmune diseases. The major risk allele encodes an R620W amino acid change that alters B cell receptor (BCR) signaling involved in the regulation of central B cell tolerance. To assess whether this PTPN22 risk allele affects the removal of developing autoreactive B cells, we tested by ELISA the reactivity of recombinant antibodies isolated from single B cells from asymptomatic healthy individ ...[more]

Project description:While the paradigm that genetic predisposition and environmental exposures interact to shape development and function of the human brain and ultimately the risk of psychiatric disorders has drawn wide interest, the corresponding molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Here we show that a functional polymorphism altering chromatin interaction between the transcription start site and long range enhancers in the FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5) gene, an important regulator of the stress hormone system, increases the risk of developing stress-related psychiatric disorders in adulthood by allele-specific, childhood trauma-dependent DNA demethylation in functional glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) of FKBP5. This demethylation is linked to increased stress-dependent gene transcription followed by a long-term dysregulation of the stress hormone system and a global impact on the function of immune cells and brain areas associated with stress regulation. This first identification of molecular mechanisms of genotype-directed long-term environmental reactivity will also critically contribute to designing more effective treatment strategies for stress-related disorders. Effects of FKBP5 rs1360780 genotype x environment interaction on peripheral blood mRNA expression of GR responsive genes, as measured by gene expression arrays, were explored in 129 individuals (child abuse/risk allele carrier N = 40, child abuse/protective allele carrier N = 15; and no child abuse/risk allele carrier N = 60, no child abuse/protective allele carrier N = 14). In all 129 individuals, 1627 transcripts showed a significant correlation with plasma cortisol concentrations, suggesting their GR responsiveness. The correlation of 76 of these transcripts with cortisol plasma levels showed significant differences when stratifying by FKBP5 genotype in individuals with child abuse (Fisher z score ≥ 1.96) For these 76 transcripts, the mean absolute correlation coefficient with plasma cortisol was R = 0.23 in the risk allele carriers with child abuse, that is those exhibiting a demethylation of FKBP5 intron 7 as compared to R = 0.74 in the carriers of the protective genotype with child abuse where intron 7 methylation remains largely stable. This indicates a relative GR-resistance in the trauma exposed FKBP5 risk allele vs. protective genotype carriers. These 76 transcripts did not show a genotype-dependent difference in correlation coefficients in non-trauma exposed individuals suggesting that exposure to early trauma enhances FKBP5 genotype-dependent effect of GR sensitivity, most likely by epigenetic mechanisms. These findings suggest that the combination of FKBP5 risk allele carrier status and early trauma exposure alters the stress hormone-dependent regulation of several genes in peripheral blood cells, and might thereby enhance the reported association of early trauma with immune and inflammatory dysregulation, further promoting system-wide symptoms of stress-related disorders.
