PSORS2 is due to mutations in CARD14

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a common, immune-mediated, genetic disorder of the skin associated with arthritis in approximately 30% of cases. Previously, we localized PSORS2 (psoriasis susceptibility locus 2) to chromosome 17q25.3-qter following a genome-wide linkage scan in a family of European origin with multiple cases of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Linkage to PSORS2 was also observed in a multiply affected psoriasis family from Taiwan. With genomic capture and DNA sequencing, we identified unique gain-of-function mutations in caspase recruitment domain family, member 14 (CARD14) that segregated with psoriasis. The mutations, c.349G>A (p.Gly117Ser) and c.349+5G>A respectively, altered splicing between exons 3 and 4 of CARD14. A de novo mutation in CARD14, c.413A>C [p.Glu138Ala], was detected in a child with sporadic, early-onset, generalized pustular psoriasis. CARD14 activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), and the p.Gly117Ser and p.Glu138Ala substitutions were shown to lead to enhanced NF-kB activation and upregulation of a subset of psoriasis-associated genes in keratinocytes compared to wildtype CARD14. These included chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20 (CCL20) and interleukin 8 (IL8). CARD14 is localized mainly in the basal and suprabasal layers of healthy skin epidermis, while in lesional psoriatic skin it is reduced in the basal layer and more diffusely upregulated in the suprabasal layers of the lesional epidermis. We propose that, following a triggering event that can include epidermal injury, rare gain-of-function mutations in CARD14 initiate a process that includes inflammatory cell recruitment by keratinocytes. This perpetuates a vicious cycle of epidermal inflammation and regeneration that is the hallmark of psoriasis. No replicates are included. Three sample sets. [1] Skin biopsies had RNA extracted for expression within target tissue. [2] HEK cells were transfected with different constructs (including wildtype) of CARD14 to determine the mutational effect in keratinocytes. [3] Keratinocytes derived from psoriasis patients with CARD14 mutations were cultured and compared with and without stimulation with TNFalpha.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin and other organs. We have determined that mutations in CARD14, encoding an NF-kB activator within skin epidermis, account for PSORS2. Here we describe fifteen additional rare, missense variants in CARD14, their distribution in seven psoriasis cohorts (>6,000 cases and >4,000 controls), and their effects on NF-kB activation and the transcriptome of keratinocytes. There was an excess of rare variants within CARD14 in cases versus controls (burden test p-value = 0.0015). Some variants were only seen in a single case and included putative pathogenic mutations (c.424G>A [p.Glu142Lys], c.425A>G [p.Glu142Gly]) and the generalized pustular psoriasis mutation, c.413A>C (p.Glu138Ala), that lie within the coiled-coil domain of CARD14. The c.349G>A (p.Gly117Ser) familial psoriasis mutation was present at a frequency of 0.0005 in cases of European ancestry. CARD14 variants led to a range of NF-kB activities, with putative pathogenic variants leading to levels >2.5-fold higher than wildtype CARD14. Two variants (c.511C>A [p.His171Asn] and c.536G>A [p.Arg179His]) required stimulation with TNF-a to achieve significant increases in NF-kB levels. Transcriptome profiling of wildtype and variant CARD14 transfectants in keratinocytes differentiated likely pathogenic mutations from neutral variants such as polymorphisms. Over 20 CARD14 polymorphisms were also genotyped and meta-analysis revealed association of psoriasis with rs11652075 (c.2458C>T/p.Arg820Trp; p-value = 2.1x10-6). In the two largest psoriasis cohorts, evidence for association increased when rs11652075 was conditioned on HLA-Cw*0602 (PSORS1). These studies contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of psoriasis and illustrate the challenges faced in identifying pathogenic variants in common disease. Keratinocytes were transfected with wildtype Cardsh or one of 16 Card14 mutations (17 total samples). The cells were collected and RNA extracted to determine the effect of these mutations compared to wildtype Card14. No replicates are included.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory and hyperproliferative immune-mediated skin disorder. Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a convenient first-line treatment of psoriasis, though the mechanisms underlying its efficacy have not been completely elucidated. In order to improve our understanding of NB-UVB phototherapy, gene expression profiling was used to characterize gene expression in lesional epidermis from psoriasis patients undergoing NB-UVB phototherapy. Increased expression of melanogenesis pathway genes was observed to be the earliest response. At the end of treatment, genes involved in diverse biological processes were affected, such as pigmentation, cell adhesion, ectodermal development and metabolism. The relationship between gene expression and treatment outcome was further studied using Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). Gene ontology analysis showed that genes responding to phototherapy and highly correlated to treatment outcome were involved in oxidation reduction, growth and mitochondria organization. In particular SPATA18, a key regulator of mitochondria quality, was found to be significantly downregulated in psoriasis, and its upregulation following phototherapy was required for optimal clinical improvement. Our data suggest that oxidation reduction is a critical event for the resolution of psoriatic plaques. Twelve patients diagnosed with plaque type psoriasis were recruited to the study. NB-UVB irradiation was administered to the whole body two to three times a week. Treatment comprising approximately 24 sessions was given during two to three months. A total of six 4 mm diameter punch biopsies were taken from lesions on each psoriasis patient: two prior to UV treatment (pre-UV), two at the middle stage of UV treatment (after about one month of treatment, mid-UV) and two before the last treatment session (post-UV). Twelve healthy age-, sex- and skin type-matched volunteers were also recruited and two punch biopsies were taken from the buttocks. RNA was extracted from Laser capture microdissected epidermis.

Project description:High levels of HIV-1 replication during the chronic phase of infection are usually associated with rapid disease progression (RP). However, a minority of HIV-infected individuals remain asymptomatic and show persistently high CD4+ T cell counts despite high viremia for many years (viremic non progressors, VNP). The latter profile is reminiscent of the non-pathogenic model of SIV infection in natural hosts such as the sooty mangabey. We used various genomic approaches to examine 66 RP and 6 VNP defined according to strict criteria. RP were characterized by depletion of protective HLA alleles, enrichment of HLA alleles associated with disease progression, and a characteristic transcriptome profile of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells similar to that observed in pathogenic SIV infection of rhesus macaque. In contrast, VNPs presented lower expression of interferon stimulated genes than RP, and shared with SIV-infected sooty mangabeys a common profile of regulation of a set of genes that includes CASP1, CD38, LAG3, TNFSF13B, SOCS1 and EEF1D. The estimated 8% of RP and 0.1% of VNP in human cohorts represent two subsets of HIV-infected individuals whose analysis may inform our understanding of HIV pathogenesis. Selection criteria rapid progressors (RP): HIV seroconversion window <1 year WITH documented negative and positive serology or biological proof of primary infection. AND One of A) or B) A) >2 CD4+ T cell counts below 350 cells/µl within 3 years of seroconversion AND no subsequent rise of CD4+ T cells above 350 cells/µl in the absence of ART. B) ART initiated within 3 years of seroconversion AND CD4+ T cell count within 1 month of ART-start <350 cells/µl. Selection criteria viremic non progressors (VNP): > 3 years of follow-up AND median HIV viremia from >3 measurements >100'000 viral RNA copies/ml AND HIV viremia consistently above 10’000 copies/ml AND CD4+ T cell count above 350 cells/µl AND no ART during follow-up.
