Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which joint inflammation lead to progressive cartilage and bone destruction. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) implicated in homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) play a central role in cartilage degradation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MMP-8 (collagenase-2) suppression in the K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis model. Three male mice of each following groups: MMP-8 wild type and arthritic mice, MMP-8 wild type without arthritis (wild type control), MMP-8 KO and arthritic mice and MMP-8 KO without arthritis (KO control) were selected for RNA extraction, from ankle joints, and hybridation on Affymetrix microarrays. Male mice were used because they showed a trend to higher arthritis severity compared to female mice. In arthritic mice, ankle joints were taken 7 days after arthritis induction.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory arthritides are chronic joint diseases marked by inflammation and bone erosion, leading to progressive damage. While smaller joints are typically affected early, larger joints often become involved over time. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement occurs in over 50% of arthritis patients, causing severe jaw pain and functional impairment, yet it remains underrecognized and underresearched. Due to its unique mechanical and biological features, the TMJ may exhibit distinct pathomechanisms compared to other joints. To investigate these differences, we analyzed transcriptomic profiles of the TMJ, ankle joint, and alveolar bone in polyarthritic hTNF-α transgenic mice (hTNF-tg) and controls.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells are critical determinants of both immune responses and metabolic control. Here we show that systemic ablation of Treg cells compromised the adaptation of whole-body energy expenditure to cold exposure, correlating with impairment in thermogenic marker gene expression and massive invasion of pro-inflammatory macrophages in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Indeed, BAT harbored a unique sub-set of Treg cells characterized by a unique gene signature. As these Treg cells respond to BAT activation upon cold exposure, this study defines a BAT-specific Treg sub-set with direct implications for the regulation of energy homeostasis in response to environmental stress. We isolated regulatory and conventional T cells from brown-adipose tissue of warm-conditioned or cold-conditioned mice. As controls, we harvested spleen-Treg and Tconv cells from warm-treated mice. Cells were isolated pooled organs and target cells purified by FACS. RNA was extracted and gene expression measured.

Project description:Resident human lamina propria immune cells serve as powerful effectors in host defense. Molecular events associated with the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in these cells are largely unknown. Here, we aimed to characterize phenotypic and functional changes induced in these cells at the onset of intestinal inflammation using a human intestinal organ culture model. In this model, healthy human colonic mucosa was depleted of epithelial cells by EDTA treatment. Following loss of the epithelial layer, expression of the inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-23p19, TNF-α, CXCL2 and the surface receptors CD14, TLR2, CD86, CD54 was rapidly induced in resident lamina propria cells in situ as determined by qRT-PCR and immunohistology. Gene microarray analysis of lamina propria cells obtained by laser-capture microdissection provided an overview of global changes in gene expression occurring during the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in these cells. Bioinformatic analysis gave insight into signalling pathways mediating this inflammatory response. Furthermore, comparison with published microarray datasets of inflamed mucosa in vivo (ulcerative colitis) revealed a significant overlap of differentially regulated genes underlining the in vivo relevance of the organ culture model. The organ culture model characterized may be useful to study molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of an intestinal inflammatory response in normal mucosa as well as potential alterations of this response in inflammatory bowel disease. Gut specimens were derived from individuals undergoing resection for localized colon cancer. Microscopically normal colonic mucosa was dissected from the surgical specimen near the resection margin and immediately subjected to the experimental procedures. After extensive washing the mucus layer was removed by dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment. Subsequently, punches of defined surface area were prepared and denuded of epithelial cells by exposure to EDTA. Samples were collected prior to culturing and washing (control, t = 0 h, total mucosa, TM) as well as after loss of the epithelial layer (t = 5 h, mucosa after loss of epithelial layer, LEL-M) and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Lamina Propria (LP) was subsequently isolated via Laser Capture Microdissection (LMD) followed by RNA isolation. Microarray analysis of TM-LP (control) and LEL-LP samples was performed using the WG-DASL Human HT_12 V4 Expression BeadChip Assay from Illumina employing a minimum of 200 ng total RNA per sample. Four replicates from individual experiments were measured for each time point.

Project description:The study analyzes analyzes gene expression changes in the ankle joint in mouse TNFa overexpression models with or without sphingosine kinase 1 activity. SphK1 is a sphingolipid enzyme that converts sphingosine to bioactive sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Recent data suggest a potential relationship between SphK1 and TNFα and have implicated SphK1/S1P in the development and progression of inflammation. Here we further study the relationship of TNFα and SphK1 using an in vivo model. Transgenic hTNFα mice, which develop a spontaneous arthritis (limited to paws) at 20 weeks, were crossed with SphK1 activity null mice (SphK1-/-) to study the development of inflammatory arthritis in the functional absence of SphK1. Results show that hTNF/SphK1-/- have significantly less severity and progression of arthritis and bone erosions as measured through micro-CT images. Additionally, less COX-2 protein, mTNFα transcript levels and fewer Th 17 cells were detected in the joints of hTNF/SphK1-/- compared to hTNF/SphK1+/+ mice. Microarray analysis of the ankle joint showed that hTNF/SphK1-/- mice have increased transcript levels of IL-6 and SOCS3 compared to hTNF/SphK1+/+ mice. Finally, fewer mature osteoclasts were detected in the ankle joints of hTNF/SphK1-/- mice compared to hTNF/SphK1+/+ mice. These data show that SphK1 plays a role in hTNFα induced inflammatory arthritis, potentially through a novel pathway involving IL-6 and SOCS3. Two wild-type replicates; three replicates of human TNFa transgene overexpression and normal sphingosine kinase 1; three replicates of human TNFa transgene overexpression and sphingosine kinase 1 null.

Project description:Mast cells are phenotypically and functionally highly heterogeneous, and their state is possibly controlled by their local microenvironment. Therefore, concrete analyses are needed to understand whether mast cells act as powerful motivators or dispensable bystanders in specific diseases. Here, we evaluated the correlation between synovial mast cells and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease severity, and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions against mast cells. We showed that degranulation of mast cells in inflammatory synovial tissues of RA patients was induced via MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2), and the expression of MHC class II (MHC II) and costimulatory molecules on mast cells were upregulated. These unique signaling response led to mast cell activation and promoted T cell responses, resulting in the progression of RA. Collagen-induced arthritis mouse models treated with a combination of anti-IL-17A and cromolyn sodium, a mast cell membrane stabilizer, showed significantly reduced clinical severity and decreased bone erosion. The findings of the present study suggest that synovial microenvironment-influenced mast cells contribute to RA and may provide a novel mast cell-targeting therapy for RA.
