Project description:The hypothesis tested in this study was that chronic exposure of PBMCs to a hypertensive environment in remodeled pulmonary vessels would be reflected by specific transcriptional changes in these cells. The transcript profiles of PBMCs from 30 idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients (IPAH), 19 patients with systemic sclerosis without pulmonary hypertension (SSc), 42 scleroderma-associated PAH patients (SSc-PAH), and 8 patients with SSc complicated by interstitial lung disease and PH (SSC-PH-ILD) were compared to the gene expression profiles of PBMCs from 41 healthy individuals.

Project description:The goal of this study was to assess whether the presence of HLA-B*35 contributes to activation of ER stress/UPR and inflammation in lcSScPAH PBMC. HLA-B*35 is associated with increased risk of developing PAH in lcSSc patietns. Also we previously reported that HLA-B*35 induces ECs dysfunction via activation of ER stress/UPR and upregulation of the inflammatory response. Our study demonstrates that HLA-B*35 contributes to the dysregulated expression of selected ER stress, inflammation and proliferation related genes in lcSSc patient PBMCs, as well as healthy individuals, thus supporting a pathogenic role of HLA-B*35 as a risk factor for developing PAH in SSc patients.

Project description:Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control key elements of mRNA stability and likely contribute to the dysregulated lung gene expression observed in systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). We analyzed the miRNA gene expression of tissue and cells from SSc-ILD patients. A chronic lung fibrotic murine model was used. Methods: RNA was isolated from lung tissue of 12 SSc-ILD patients and 5 control lungs. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was performed at baseline and 2-3 years after treatment. Lung fibroblasts and PBMCs were isolated from healthy controls and SSc-ILD patients. miRNA and mRNA were analyzed by microarray, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and/or Nanostring; pathway analysis was performed by DIANA-miRPath v2.0 software. Wild-type and miR-155 deficient (miR-155ko) mice were exposed to bleomycin. Results: Lung miRNA microarray data distinguished patients with SSc-ILD from healthy controls with 185 miRNA differentially expressed (q<0.25). DIANA-miRPath revealed 57 KEGGs pathways related to the most dysregulated miRNAs. miR-155 and miR-143 were strongly correlated with progression of the HRCT score. Lung fibroblasts showed only mild expression of miR-155/miR-21 after several stimuli. miR-155 PBMC expression strongly correlated with lung function tests in SSc-ILD. miR-155ko mice developed milder lung fibrosis, survived longer, and showed a weaker lung induction of several genes after bleomycin exposure compared to wild-type mice. Conclusions: miRNAs are dysregulated in lungs and PBMCs of SSc-ILD patients. Based on mRNA-miRNA interaction analysis and pathway tools, miRNAs may play a role in the progression of the disease. Our findings suggest that targeting miR-155 might provide a novel therapeutic strategy for SSc-ILD. Lung biopsies taken from open lung biopsy from SSc-ILD patients (n=15 samples) and from cancer free control patients (n=5) during ressection of the lung tumor.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but devastating disease of fibrosis impacting the dermis and multiple organ systems. The prevalence ranges from 4 to 489 cases per million individuals with ten year mortality rates reported around 18 percent. Survival is related to the extent of skin involvement, yet the precise mechanisms driving skin fibrosis in SSc remain unknown. In this study, we analyzed the shared and unique transcriptomic profiles of SSc and normal keratinocytes.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by clinical heterogeneity, multi-organ involvement, and complex genetic risk. Here, we report the first multi-tissue meta-analysis of ten independent SSc gene expression datasets. We identify a common immune-fibrotic expression axis across all tissues that is associated with the most severe disease phenotypes. The coexpression patterns conserved across tissues and phenotypes were used to query functional genomic networks, which allowed us to identify common and tissue-specific disease drivers. We find evidence of pro-fibrotic macrophages (MØs) in SSc end-target organs. Prominent genes in the skin functional genomic network are associated with SSc genetic risk and are modulated by immunosuppressive treatment in clinical improvers. These data suggest the interactions between T lymphocytes and MØs are a critical driver of disease and implicate MØs as central to SSc pathogenesis. In total, this study presents a mechanism for fibrosis in SSc end-target tissues, a set of putative therapeutic targets for modulating SSc, and a framework for multi-tissue functional genomic studies of complex human disease.

Project description:Systemic scleroderma (SSc) is an autoimmune disease which results in fibrotic production in the lung. Resultant SSC-pulmonary fibrosis is the main cause of mortality among SSc patients. From high throughput RNAi screening, we uncovered the ubiquitin E3 ligase KLHL42 as a potential pro-fibrotic mediator of TGFb-dependent fibrotic signaling in primary SSc lung fibroblasts. In this analysis, we sought to uncover putative substrates for KLHL42 by comparing SSc lung fibroblasts with control or KLHL42 siRNA prior to TGFb-treatment, lysis, and TUBE precipitation. The resultant pull-down was analyzed with LC-MS/MS.
